Tropical smoothie cafe is my favorite smoothie spot in Tempe. They use actual fruit for their smoothies which is nice compared to somewhere like one-stop and its more affordable then other places. The food is good and have a decent amount of choices . they also handle customization well. The workers are always friendly but what other reviewers say is true this place is almost always under staffed. So if you want to come in be sure to habe a fee minutes in case theres a few people there . the workers work hard the place just doesnt staff enough. I just plan ahead and when i come i make sure I'm not in a hury. You can also call ahead an order though
