"This is another one of those place that I wish that half-a-star could be given because honestly this place really should get 4.5 stars from me, so in writing this is what I'm giving this location. I have two local Tropical Smoothies that I visit in my relative area, which is this spot on Durango and then the 24hr location on Jones and Sunset. I can honestly say I'm addicted to the smoothies here! I've tried more than a handful of the smoothies here, including the supercharged, classics, and superfood smoothies.. I don't do the induldge cause my foodie belly trying to lose weight hehe\n\nI've never had a problem with the smoothies at this location, service is always quick and efficent and I definitely think I'm one of those customers that they're starting to recognize, as my orders are becoming more and more regular. I'm a huge fan of Lean Machine which comes included with fat burner and energizer supplements for $4.99. My other go to favorite is Sunrise Sunset for $4.99 & I tend to add fat burner and energizer for additional .99cents each supplement. See why I go for the Lean Machine? cause the supplements are included in the pricing :) I'm cheap sometimes haha\n\nThis location is always clean and well kept, the parking area is a bit busy as it's in a Von's parking plaza, surrounded by Bank of America, Little Caesar's, a Foot Spa, and a Ink Printing place. oh and the Von's member's gas location. So parking isn't all that convienent. But at least it has lots of seating area and it's very clean. \n\nIn regards to food.. I'm a fan. I've tried a number of their breakfast foods, wraps, flatbreads and more.. currently I'm fan of the featured California Chicken Club flatbread. Also fan of the All American omelete wrap and I add spinach for that extra leafy crunch and fiber... like I said I'm trying to be on that healthy life haha. The food takes few minutes more to prepare than the smoothies. At this location, if your smoothie is not completed in 5minutes.. it's on the house. But when ordering food and smoothie, smoothie will always come out first, and food adds maybe at most an additional 5minutes, but I don't I've ever waited longer than 5minutes for food.. and the one time I did, they gave me an extra wrap because my order was done incorrectly. \n\nAnother reason I'm a Trop Smoothie fan is because of their smart phone app program that once you download the app, you get comp $5 for just downloading the app and can be used right away for your purchase. It's a scanning app program that monitors the amount you spend on each transaction and once you hit $55, you get money back to spend on your next purchase. Had they had this app a long time ago.. I woulda been a supercharged member probably already!! \n\nAny place that has a customer loyalty program makes it more appealing to come back over and over again because I feel like not only am I getting something I want and am willing to pay for but also getting rewards and incentives for coming back and spending money with them. I'm getting back in return, and I'll take the $5 towards my next purchase anytime. \n\nTheir smart phone app is also very easy to use and manuever. It has location finders so I dont have to look to hard for a location if I'm not close to my home store. And of course it tracks your visits and dollar amount spent and how far away you are from your free $5. \n\nSo why 4.5 stars and not the full 5stars? Well, service is general fast and polite, but I will say some of the employees tend to be a bit immature forgetting there's customers all around and they tend to not uphold a professional setting. When I'm waiting for my smoothie, I don't really care to hear loud conversations between employees gossiping about one another or being loud and shouting at each other about non work related conversations. That really would be my only critic. Other than that.. I'm a weekly basis fan! like 3-4x a week hehe enjoy and smoothie on!!!"^^ .
