    Throw up cup

    I ordered a Bahama mama and it tasted like throw up the people inside didn't say you're welcome when I said thank you... Man I really wish I could put a 0 star for this review. Worst experience I've EVER had at tropical smoothie! Will never come to this location again and I recommend anyone reading this review to not go to this location so they shut down immediately.

    Not filled all the way

    Tropical smoothie is so good but I just can not stand how they didn't fill my smoothie all the way and their food made my chips warm.

    Walked in, saw 3 employees sitting around enjoying their time together, but nobody acknowledged me. There was a sign that said they were not taking orders inside at the moment so I turned around and walked out. That's not a big deal but it would make more sense to post it on the front door so I wouldn't have bothered walking inside. I even went back and scanned the front door/windows to make sure I didn't miss it... Nope, nothing's posted. There *is* a light up sign that says "Drive Thru Open", but I didn't take that to imply the dining room was closed. Oh well. I sat in my car in the parking lot, ordered online and then drove through to pick my order up. Everything was as ordered, and delicious, but I hate styrofoam so I limit my trips to Tropical Smoothie. Beyond Juice has biodegradable cups, I think, but I had a free smoothie offer and Jersey Mike's was closed.

    It was my first time trying tropical smoothie there in Michigan since moving from Alabama. I must say, it was one of the best tropical smoothies experiences I've had. The drive thru was quick and painless and the staff was very friendly. Our smoothies were to satisfaction.

    I feel like if you've went into one Tropical Smoothie Café, then you've went into them all. This location is no exception. Employees didn't seem too enthused to be working but with all of my 2 and a half minutes there, but it didn't bother me. My smoothie tasted amazing so that's I cared about! Can't go wrong with the Kiwi Quencher.

    They don't blend smoothies well enough, are rude to customers, and try to hide when you walk in the store.

Mya was our server and she went above and beyond. One of our kids ordered french toast, and somehow we missed that it was topped with a fruit compote. When Mya stopped by the table she immediately saw that my daughter was not happy and asked if she should put a new order in. We declined because we wanted our daughter to try it before she made up her mind, and learn from the experience. Mya came back again and could tell that there was no way this kid was going to eat the french toast. She insisted on putting another order in, saying "I just want her to be happy", and it was clear that she truly meant it. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast - we will be back frequently!

    I arrived at Zalman's alone for breakfast which is located within the Kingsley Hotel on iconic…read moreWoodward Avenue (highway #1!) and was greeted promptly by hostess, Sydney. I was a little disappointed initially to be seated at the short bar as it makes me feel like I'm in elementary school due to the height, but this was a busy Saturday morning so I understood as it seems there are limited 2-tops, etc and this visit was at peak hours. It was nice to see the daylight coming through the windows which also made this a relaxing venue. While I was sitting there I was able to observe a lot as the short bar is next to the case displaying many delicious treats. I really laughed to myself as I noticed a couple of future Yelper's (one was 2-year toddler and his probably 4-5 year old sister (possibly celebrating a birthday) make a prompt trip to checkout the dessert offerings first! They were obviously "regulars". I was greeted by one of the wait staff, Mya, who was friendly, served me a coffee and indicated my server would be with me soon. I appreciated seeing the teamwork among the staff. I was eventually served by Owen who was helpful and I ordered an egg white frittata which came with a side of mixed fresh fruit. While I was waiting on my food, I had a vantage point where I could see several entrees come out. I also witnessed one of the two Chefs smiling as he was looking at and preparing the orders which I found interesting. The frittata included spinach, tomatoes, goat cheese, apple chicken sausage, and was delicious. I was still a little hungry, so I realized the future Yelpers mentioned earlier had it right, and I ordered a carrot cake cupcake which Owen mentioned was a good choice. The frosting was delicious and the moist carrot cake was tasty as well. The overall restaurant was hustling and bustling on this morning, I had my coffee cup refilled multiple times and even noticed additional children observing the case with the desserts. I enjoyed the overall experience and did not feel rushed at all, but more like a customer!

There were at least six people "working"--standing around talking loudly with the radio blasting, mainly--and even though I was just getting a single bagel with cream cheese it took forever. And no one else was even in the store. At a certain point, the manager/owner called over to me and said "we're having trouble with the toaster." I had been super clear that I wanted it "not toasted." Then because he could tell I was irritated and it had been, well, forever, he started scolding the workers about talking too much, the music being too loud, etc., to no avail. They just kept going. And when the time came to finally hand me my bagel, there was no apology, "I'm sorry," or any acknowledgement at all that it had been a really inappropriately long time that I had been waiting--again, with no one else in the store. And six employees working. The sad thing is that the bagels at this place are pretty good, about the best you are going to get in metro Detroit, but I won't be back. Management needs to step up in this place and enact a more professional approach to customer service.
