    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.

    Wanted to try the watermelon mint mojito. The food was really well prepared and ehat I hoped it would ve. However, the mojito was lacking. The flavor was more mint than a balance of both watermelon and mint. I have since returned to my favorite, Mango.

    Horrible .Paid extra for things in my smoothie and they rolled there eyes all the way back ,when I had asked if it could be remade as she clearly forgot to add the extra things .I typically don’t like complaining about certain things, but not when I paid for it!? Save yourself the time and don’t come here if you don’t wanna get served with an attitude.
