Entering the Harbor Shops Shopping Plaza hang a left, turn right and
about half way going south there is the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It is a
bright clean looking place and in spite of what you may read below the
ladies behind the counter were very customer friendly. One was a
trainee--that might have been Marie who's name is on the receipt-- who
was being trained by a very smiling trainer.
We each had a coupon for a free flatbread and Allen ordered the Baja
chicken and I had the chicken pesto. All flatbreads are $4.99. Smoothies
come at 4 different prices from $4.72 to $5.66. I had the Blue Lagoon
(blueberries, strawberries and bananas) while Allen had the Peaches 'n
Silk (peaches, strawberries and bananas) and both were cold and
sm-o-o-o-o-o-th! In addition I ordered the turkey/bacon sandwich ($6.99)
which I really didn't need with the chicken flatbread.
The food, the service and the smoothies were fine and I really have
nothing to complain about but I still prefer a full service place so
chances are I wouldn't return
The area caters to the cruise ship customers and crew plus tourists from
the beach and Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a pleasant place to take a
break from shopping, running around and the heat.
Without the coupons the check would have been $26.39 but in all
probability without them I wouldn't have had the flatbread so the check
would have been $22.06 which is about average for lunch in this
neighborhood.
