What Should Tallahassee Eat? – Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Tropical Smoothie Cafe on North Magnolia Drive has quick service, is always clean and has some excellent non-smoothie choices for a grab-n-go lunch. Fast food serves a purpose, to get the patron in and out of the establishment as quickly as possible. Tropical Smoothie is not quite that fast, but thanks to fresh sandwich ingredients and a great Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie it’s a great way to avoid the fast food burger and fries combo.

It’s sweet, it’s savory. It’s not overpowering. It looks appetizing and not like a greasy pile of cake. It’s pretty good stuff!
