Would give this location no stars if I could. I've tried to contact them several times to cancel an order. The phone number is disconnected and unable to call them. This is absolutely ridiculous! The number should be deleted off the website if it's incorrect!! Such a mess.

I’ve been here three 4 times total and every time somethings wrong with my smoothie. First i got an açaí bowl, and found out they’re frozen. The açaí was rock solid; now how an açaí bowl is. The next time my smoothie was chunky; like it had chunks of ice and i couldn’t use the straw. The third time, the smoothie was warm in the bottom; like a warm smoothie.
I’m not coming back here and spending $8-10 again. Of the 4 times I’ve only had ONE good smoothie.

I wish I had read the reviews prior to ordering. The location is convenient but the food is horrible. My quesadilla was so thin and the bottom was missing half of the tortilla. I frequent Tropical Smoothie, obviously in other locations, so I know what to expect. Super disappointed. Definitely avoid this location.
