It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I stopped at Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City this morning after…read morearriving on a red-eye flight and heading to a family member's home. I wanted a smoothie, found this location on Google, and decided to give it a try after hearing friends rave about the chain. Unfortunately, I regret stopping here. I ordered online and when I walked in, I initially didn't see any employees. Then I noticed a woman dressed entirely in what appeared to be street clothes: pink beanie, shirt, sweatpants, and Crocs. At first, I honestly thought she was a friend or family member helping out in the store because there was no uniform or name tag. Then I realized she was actually making my drink. Not once did she greet me, acknowledge me, ask if I needed help, or even make eye contact. I stood in the pickup area waiting while she slammed blender containers around and appeared visibly irritated. She poured my smoothie, put the lid on, slapped the sticker on the cup, and dropped it on the counter without saying a single word. I reached for the drink and said, "Thank you," and received absolutely no response, just a look. The customer service was terrible, and unfortunately, the smoothie itself was not good either. First impressions matter, especially early in the morning when customers are tired and simply hoping for a pleasant experience. Please train employees on basic customer service skills. A simple greeting, acknowledgment, or "have a nice day" goes a long way. And if employees are unhappy or not prepared to work professionally, they should not be interacting with customers.

The prices are good for the quality of smoothies that you get, out of all of my favorite smoothie spots. I would say this one is the best, you can customize your drinks. The customer service is good. the place is really clean, and there's a really cool vibe about it, like there's a swinging chair that you can literally sit on and just like chilling and it's never really crowded. I would highly recommend coming in here if you want to try something besides smoothie king that is also really good for you with natural ingredients. The owner is very proud of her store and everybody there seems happy which makes me really happy too.

You can taste the high quality of the ingredients, and the thick-cut artisan bread provides the perfect crispy-yet-chewy base for the generous toppings. * Smoothie Bowls & Juices: The açaí bowls are refreshing, perfectly textured, and loaded with fresh fruit and crunchy granola. Their cold-pressed juices are crisp, vibrant, and perfect for a quick energy boost. * Coffee & Vibe: Their coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic, making this the ideal spot for a quick morning pick-me-up, a post-workout refuel, or a relaxed weekend brunch with friends. Everything on the menu feels crafted with care and premium ingredients. It is absolutely worth every penny for the quality you get. I cannot recommend this place enough!

**Disappointing Experience at This Location**…read more I normally enjoy Toastique, although I've noticed this particular location isn't nearly as friendly or welcoming as other Toastique locations I've visited. Recently, I ordered my usual Salmon Toast and was disappointed to discover that the cucumbers were clearly not fresh. When I lifted the salmon and greens to cut into the toast, the cucumber slices were almost transparent and looked anything but fresh. I brought it back and explained that I was happy to have it remade, but if they didn't have fresh cucumbers, I would prefer a refund. They ultimately remade the toast without cucumbers. Before leaving, I checked my bag and noticed there were NO cucumbers. When I asked why there were no cucumbers, there really wasn't an explanation. Apparently, someone eventually found some fresh, crispy cucumber slices and put them in a small to-go container for me to add to my **$16 single slice of toast myself.** That just felt like an odd way to resolve the issue. Another frustration is that this location never asks or reminds me about the Toastique rewards program. I visit fairly often because this location is in my neighborhood, yet I didn't even know they had a rewards program until I visited another Toastique location and was asked about it. Had I known, I could have accumulated quite a few rewards by now. I still enjoy Toastique, but this location could definitely improve when it comes to friendliness, attention to detail, and making customers aware of the rewards program.

I was excited that it was a drive thru as I was limited on time. I was able to place my order right away, but it took at least 5 minutes for someone to come to window to take my payment. But I realized it was because they wanted to have all of my order ready when they greeted me. I ordered my favorite pb & banana protein smoothie, add chocolate, and an impossible handwich. I went miles out of my way, and every sip and bite was worth it.
