I have mixed feelings. I used to enjoy a smoothie from OR but I agree with the reviews about the…read morepoor service times and staff being TOO "chill." Most visits take far too long, especially if there is more than one customer. The employees act as though they believe that the customers have unlimited time so they will chit chat or lallygag. This is a service based business so there needs to be a balance between "friendliness" and timeliness. I realize it's not a fast food joint but no one wants to wait 10-15 minutes for a smoothie or to simply pay for stocked items. This is the reason I don't shop here frequently anymore.

I'm usually the last person to complain about service but it's legitimately bizarre here. Last time…read morewe went in it wasn't even clear who was working, people in street clothes kept going behind the counter to make themselves drinks and despite confirming we were waiting, nobody would take our order, the only actual customers in the store, for about 10 minutes, then the one thing that needed to be made took another 10 minutes while we watched them mostly just talk and make their own drinks. It feels like they're recording a sitcom about friends who work at a cute little shop and you're intruding.

Between that and the occasional random craving, I probably end up here 1-3 times a month, so I've gotten a pretty good feel for the place. The smoothies are obviously the main attraction and have always been consistently good, but their food is surprisingly solid too. The Thai Chicken Wrap is easily my favorite; fresh, flavorful, with a nice mix of textures, and substantial enough to make a meal out of it. Pair it with a smoothie and it makes for a pretty satisfying lunch without feeling like typical fast food. There's plenty of variety with the smoothies too, so while I have my favorites, I tend to bounce around the menu depending on what sounds good that day. Service is probably the weakest part of the experience, though I wouldn't call it bad. The staff tends to be more efficient than personable; you're not always getting the warmest interaction, but they work quickly enough and, most importantly, after plenty of visits they've been consistently accurate with my orders. The cafe itself is bright, casual, and generally clean, with a relaxed atmosphere that works whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down for a quick lunch. After this many visits, Tropical Smoothie has proven to be a reliable stop. Good smoothies, surprisingly solid food, quick service, and that Thai Chicken Wrap keeps me coming back. Apparently returning something to Amazon has also become my excuse to grab a smoothie.

I have been to this smoothie shop several times over the last couple of years (one of my…read moreabsfavorite places to purchase a well-made smoothie ) and have always been delighted with my experience. The menu is quite diverse, they use clean ingredients, and the staff is really sweet! I enjoy the Skinny CoCo (need to branch out because it has me in a chokehold ), and the salty caramel snacks are delicious and so healthy (you can pronounce everything on the ingredients list). This place should really have 4.5 stars in this app!

I had the opportunity to try Pure Green samples at a recent Pure Barre studio nearby…read more The Pure Watermelon is my favorite to rehydrate after a workout. At only 90 calories, it is a refreshing treat and not too sweet either. I have also tried the Pure Green juice, and I didn't like the taste as much, but it is packed with rich nutrients from kale, spinach, lemon, and more. My husband liked the juice that had cayenne pepper in it, but I am not a fan of spicy juices. Thankfully, I had a coupon, so I paid just over $32 for five bottles and received a cute reusable bag. The juices are a little pricey, and hopefully, the plastic bottles can be recycled easily, but I am sure I will be back to try other flavors. Most of the bottles ranged from 90 to 200 calories each. The staff was super busy but still very friendly and took time to answer customer questions.

I went back because I really wanted to try their Korean Fried chicken wings. If you've read my…read moreprevious review and then you know that I applaud Cloud Tea for providing different ethic cuisine (especially korean) here in the LITH, Algonquin, and CL area. I had no lunch plans and I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch. I arrive and the girl at the counter was having a bad day and I could tell. She avoided all any eye contact with me, she did not want to engage in any small talk and she was there to receive a pay check and that was that. Ok fine, I get it we all have bad days, just get me my food then. I ask her "how spicy is the spicy check wings?" So goes, "they are alright spicy." WTF, I'm giving a puzzling look and I'm not sure how to respond to that statement but whatever, I get it your cat died, your bf just broke up with you, your car insurance just went up 5%, sure I get it. I place an order for the spicy chicken wings and I wait. I take in the ambiance and it's a great place to chill and grab some bubble tea and lunch. I wait about ten mins and my wings are ready! When I walked up to get my wings I noticed there was some mochinut and I had to get some! I get three flavors, strawberry, taro, and green tea and then I head home to sample the food with my family. First up were the wings, they were scary looking but in a spicy kind of way. Was my stomach and whatever after comes after ready for these wings? I sure hope so! So I went in for my first bite and I was pleasantly surprised. The wings were super good! The flavoring and everything was fire, flame, hit the spot good. And the spice level was 'alright' (see what I did there?), it had a kick but nothing that my kids couldn't handle. My wife enjoyed the wings as well and she said they were good. I'm glad I stopped by and got the fried chicken wings to try because they were amazingly delicious and I'll be back for more. I finished off my lunch and tried some mochinut and they were good as well and you don't have any complaints from me on the food. The service on the other hand, get a new girl who wants to come to work and put on a smile. Like I said I understand we all have bad days but for me to write it in my review it must have been really bad. Great job on the food Cloud Tea. Happy to have you guys in the area and keep up the good food. You've earned your 4 start review.
