It gets busy, which tells you people like it, and there's enough room that you can usually find a spot to work or sit with someone. The problem was the food. I got a blueberry muffin that was dry and obviously not baked that morning -- day-old at best. The croissant wasn't much better, soft where it should have been crisp. For a place with a full bakery case front and center, that's the thing they should be nailing. Coffee's a different story. The caramel macchiato was legitimately better than what Starbucks puts out -- balanced, not just sugar. The cortado was small, but that's a cortado, so no complaint there. Espresso quality is solid across the board. One more thing: the couch I sat on was visibly dirty and could use a cleaning. Come for the coffee and the space. Skip the pastry case until they fix it.

Currently (July 2025), there is indoor and outdoor seating. The decorations are cool, the bathroom is clean with really nice hand soap. I have been getting the King Richard smoothie for as long as I can remember--Intelligentsia coffee, coconut milk, banana, and chocolate plant protein. My daughter got the Cinnamon Roll--plant based vanilla protein, cinnamon, and banana. She also got a Greek yogurt bowl with blue magik, chocolate hazelnut spread, honey, and granola for $5. I appreciate having a healthier option for a treat!

Loved how many options of bowls they had, though mostly it's different combinations of banana, blueberries, strawberries, cacao nibs, and coconut shreds. Peanut or almond butter are also selections, as are pistachios, which were on my Goin' Back to Cali bowl. For some reason, I was left with a medicinal aftertaste after eating my bowl, and I'm not sure if it was the açaí base or the coconut shreds that were the culprit. The bananas used were also not quite ripe and ready to go and tasted a bit green, if you know what I mean. It's $13.50-15 per 16oz bowl, and there are (cashless) kiosks where you can place your order. An introvert's dream! Easy street parking, and there are a handful of seats to dine in here. Plenty of smoothie options too.

I felt so lucky that Tropical Smoothie Café is so close to home! It is located in the strip mall called Plaza del Prado, where Jewel-Osco has been there for decades. I passed by the mall so often, but had not noticed Tropical Smoothie just a few stores from Jewel-Osco! I did not have their app; I just walked in to order a Mango Monsoon smoothie. The guy behind the counter was friendly and efficient. He worked on the smoothie right away. I was able to leave the store with my smoothie within 5 minutes! There was only another customer at the time when I left. The Mango Monsoon was refreshing and not too sweet. I couldn't believe that I finished all 22-24 oz. in no time! It was delicious! I guess the price of $7.99 plus tips and tax seems fair. Next time I will try some of their food items on their menu too!

This Liquid Fusion location is my go-to for those times. I always get a blended fruit of coffee drink. Strawberry, mango, and honeydew are my favorite fruity flavors. The blended coffees are better than a Frappuccino in my opinion. My drink is always made quickly and everyone who works there has been really helpful and kind. The quality is consistent with their other locations. The space itself is bright and cute, and I appreciate the giant parking lot. Thanks for the emotional support and tasty drinks, Liquid Fusion!

There is also some pastry options including cakes, brownies, cookies, muffins, and more. This spot is not as busy as the Northbrook location, which is good if you're looking for a more relaxing spot to casually enjoy your drinks or hangout with friends. Prices are fair, not the cheapest you'll find but in line with this area of the suburbs. They also have tapioca, jelly, popping bubble, and crystal bubble if you want some variety. Overall, a relaxing spot to enjoy Asian inspired bubble tea and other drinks in the area with a good selection and fair prices.

I was the only one in there. After she took my order, she went back to doing something. The man, who is also always there, was just eating something on the side. Again, I am the only one in there. He finally decides to start making my smoothie. He finished my smoothie and instead of giving it to me right away, he starts making an online order. I asked him if I could have my smoothie and he told me, 'To hang on a second!' He finally gave me my smoothie with a face like I was a problem. Not the first time where I have experienced slow and disrespectful service.

I am confused what Currito is trying to be. Is it greens, grains and smoothies as the sign says, or…read moredoes it aim to be a healthier version of Chipotle (Cure + burrito = Currito)? You can order from the menu's bowls, wraps or salad or "walk the line" and build a dish from the ingredients set up a la Chipotle. I ordered the first thing -- Superfood because it sounded healthy but I didn't know what was in it (my bad). The calorie counts, carb counts are not listed anywhere and not on the website. It was ok, probably more protein than I needed. Personally I could have done without the raisins (I looked it up - raisins have many benefits) so the salad was ok. My companion really enjoyed their Carolina grains bowl. We also ordered chips and hummus. I think because I am confused by Currito it won't be top of mind for me when I am selecting a place to eat. Do I want a healthy bowl, do I want a salad, do I want a wrap--will I be thinking of Currito? There were a few people stopping in to pick up and we were the only people dining in. It could be that others are confused by Currito as well.
