| - I used to have a couple friends who were assistant managers at a smoothie place back home. So the deal was...I bring them lunch & I get to run-a-muck behind the counter creating whatever type of Frankensteinish smoothie I could come up with.
Needless to say I'm pretty jaded when it comes to smoothies. And, because of this, I'm not wild about forking over $7 to recreate these magic concoctions.
The good news for me is that at Tropical Smoothie they have a couple of smoothies that are pretty close and the staff is amazingly patient with me and on 2 separate occasions have even said "wow, i've gotta try that some time!" (yea, I'm the Wolfgang Puck of smoothies.)
Everybody here is very friendly, and this is my regular Smoothie joint.
I love the menu, and the quality of the food you get for the price is amazing. Plus you get the added benefit of eating healthy.
It's a trifecta, Good, Inexpensive, Healthy.
I usually get the Island Combo with 1/2 a Bistro sandwich (The Wasabi Roast Beef is amazing) which is only $6.99. Or a whole Baja Chicken Flatbread combo with a smoothie for $7.99
They also have 3 BOGO coupons in the Entertainment Book.
Plus many locations, including this one are open 24 hours (drive-thru only late night), and features Free Wi-Fi.....trying to think of what trumps a trifecta........It's a Superfecta!
It's rarely crowded, although when it is crowded I'm rarely complaining about waiting in line behind half a dozen girls in yoga pants.
So let's just say I'm a fan. Tropical Smoothie is the only place I can get the smoothie I WANT and get freshly made food. And the staff at this location puts them over the top to 5 stars.
