    I got a free bowl from T-Mobile Tuesday. I ordered it through the app and went inside to pick up. It was pretty clean and organized inside. I went right over to the pick up area to grab my order. And left when I got in car I opened the bag they gave me a spoon with my bowl but when I grabbed the bowl I realized that the Acai portion is frozen solid. They do add fresh berries and bananas on top but then they top top it with super sweet agave that makes it overwhelming sweet. Honestly it was way too sweet plus it being pretty frozen I gave up on it. I think they could redesign this bowl to be a lot more fresh.

    Yuck! Womens Bathroom- no toilet paper also

    VERY DIRTY RESTAURANT! Even their restrooms were gross. No toilet paper in woman's restroom. Garbage overflowing all over the place in main dining area. Smells like dirty bar in there. Tables outside also gross- burn marks and bird poop all over! What they do well: smoothies efficiently made and delicious in timely manner. Polite staff (all very young). I won't be back to this location.

    This place is very dirty. Filthy to be exact. There was a stench of old mop water lingering the place. Bugs flying around. The guys working there were nice but there's no way employees working there should have that many holes in their shirts. Whoever's making the drinks should wear gloves as well if they're touching food items. They should definitely wear hair nets too. Visible filthy floors with holes in the ground. Just disgusting. Do better management!

    Love the green dream bowl but it's never consistent. Today, $10 for about 3TBSP of yogurt, cup of mango and blueberries with a whole container of granola!

    If you are a pumpkin lover...the pumpkin pie smoothie is a MUST! Touch of cinnamon and deliciousness in a cup! Get it while it's featured for the fall!

    Proof of my horrible visit!

    The kitchen area was #Filthy! The floors appeared to not have been properly swept and mopped in 2 days. There was a chicken wrap on the food assembly line unattended and left open with flies on it. There were 4 employees working 2 male and 2 females all wearing gloves and mask doing nothing while the trash was over filled and just 1 napkin away from the entire trash can & a junk pile of items tumbling on to the floor. All visible to patrons. The 2 gentleman preparing foods both had a head full of hair (1) curly hair male and 1 male with very nice cultural locks of hair neither wearing hair nets, yet instead: sun-visors! Being the place is called "Tropical Smoothie" I understand the need to block the sun but what about hair? The gentleman making my salads appeared to have a protective #COVID mask that was too big, since he continued to adjust the mask properly to his face while wearing plastic food preparation gloves, leaving salad toppings residue on the mask ie lettuce / cheese. As soon as he finally handled over our prepared salads I politely said " Sir I can not eat these salads simply because 1 your mask is dirty and 2 the entire time preparing my food your gloves in between grabbing lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes there were also touching your mask." He apologized & offered to make a new salad as he changed his gloves before doing so. The new salads I gave to the homeless gentleman standing in front of Regency Plaza as I exited the location. I lost my appetite based on my experience! Maybe there will be a next time perhaps not. Won't be my #LOST! Demand more Tropical Smoothie for $15 per hour! #SHAME on the franchise owner for being this careless.....

It was so comforting and felt just like mom and abuelas cafe con leche. I'll take that over a big time coffee shop any day! The restaurant itself was nice and clean had plenty of tables and seating. I walked right up to the counter and ordered. I had a tiny bit of a hard time narrowing down my decision but i ended up going with the roast pork omelette which i loved. It came with my choice of bread and i picked Cuban toast which i loved as well. My husband went with the Mac Daddy which came with fish and grits and the way it smelled in the car omg i wanted to pull over and have some before we even got to our intended destination! I'm so glad we finally stopped in. The pricing was fair and the service was super quick and friendly. There wasn't a paper menu or on online so i took some pics of the screen so i have it for next time. Also, Im super pleased that I was in and out in about 15 minutes!

I've tried a few things here and the roasted pork special is by far the standout. It's very flavorful and definitely worth ordering! I've also had the grilled chicken salad and turkey wrap, but I wasn't a fan of either. If you go, stick to the Cuban or pork-style sandwiches; that's what they do best. Service is fast, prices are great, and it's an easy spot for an easy lunch.

I was there with my mom and my five month old daughter in a stroller, which wasn't easy. This was my first time here and the process of ordering and then waiting for your order to be called was stressful. I checked the menu online before going and there was no mention of the slice specials which I couldn't see easily from the line. I also couldn't see the slice bar or flavors available while in line so that wasn't helpful. The fountain for drinks is behind the counter so you can't get yourself a refill. Instead, you have to go through the crowd again to ask an associate to do it for you. Associates were helpful with my questions. No one was wiping tables down between customers. I ordered the Yo Adrian, Bianca slice, cannoli and lobster tail. The Yo Adrian was okay. Too much soft bread, not enough cheese, good amount of onions and some of the meat was chunks rather than shaved. The Bianca slice was primarily burnt on the bottom and didn't seem fresh which is sad considering we were there before noon. The cannoli was good. The lobster roll pastry was great; likely because it was fresh. The ice cream is in boxes, which have had the top cut off and the cardboard was wet and peeling in one of the boxes I saw while waiting in line. I think skipping the ice cream seems like a safe choice. I won't be rushing back but will return at some point to try a breakfast sandwich on a NY bagel and order a whole pie to try so it's fresh.

Absolutely loved it The guy at the front was on point the whole time. Even coming in right after the lunch rush, he made sure everything stayed clean and organized while still taking care of customers. That kind of attention to detail does not go unnoticed They were out of the sweet teas (I was hurt a little bit ), but overall the experience was still really good. Now let's get into the food because you already know that's what we're here for The chicken empanadas? Delicious. No complaints. The Cuban sandwich? It was good... but I'm gonna keep it real like I always do. The meat was flavorful, but it could've been more evenly distributed, and it didn't have that crispy bread texture I look for. Overall, it just didn't hit that top-tier level for me. So for this location: 8/10 Still a solid experience, still worth the visit -- but as of right now, the Wesley Chapel location is still holding that 10/10 crown And you already know I'm not done... Valrico, I'm coming next. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes
