After some deliberation as the menu is pretty huge, I went with the Electric Mermaid Bowl (Pitaya blend topped with granola, pineapple, mango, kiwi, coconut flakes and honey) and added vanilla whey protein. It was large buy I managed to eat most of it, and while it did hit the spot, I think I'll go with acai vs. pitaya next time. The ingredients seemed fresh, which is definitely important to me. I noticed their "Protein Wave" menu after the fact, so I would maybe consider ordering off of that next time. I like a fast casual healthy concept and this one falls under that category for sure. Service was fine but could have been a tad bit friendlier. There is indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of parking making this a very convenient location to pop into.

The place has a super chill energy, friendly staff, and a thoughtful menu that makes you feel good about what you're eating. It's become one of my favorite reset spots when I want something nourishing and easy.

Recently, the Tropical Smoothie Cafe near Tatum and Cactus closed permanently. My wife and I were…read moreregulars there since they opened in 2021, and there was a note on their door a few weeks ago when they closed directing us to one of the two nearby locations. Today, we went to one of them for our first time, which was the location at Scottsdale Road and Thunderbird Road. We enjoyed getting our regular smoothies but it wasn't the same though the space was larger with more seating. Today, we ordered our favorite 24 oz smoothie (Sunrise Sunset, made with strawberries, pineapple, mango, and orange juice), which we had them split into two 12 oz cups so that we could share it. While it was tasty as usual, the staff were not as warm and friendly as the staff we got to know at the Tatum and Cactus location (though they were certainly polite and helpful). At other locations, we often share a smoothie and a flatbread, which comes with a side. Today, we received a coupon on the receipt for a $1.99 flatbread with the purchase of a smoothie in the future. Their regular menu includes bowls, smoothies, flatbreads, sandwiches, salads, and wraps. Also, the app offers bonus points and discounts on occasion including a free smoothie on your actual birthday. You actually get a free smoothie just for signing up for the program (after your first purchase). Other benefits for the reward program include earning 10 points per $1 spent, learning about offers, and earning rewards. You can also order ahead on the app to skip the line while you're on your way. To join the reward program, go to https://www.tropicalsmoothiecafe.com/rewards and click on JOIN NOW. Feel free to use my referral code (Cohaps5136). I have also learned that if you have T-Mobile, their T-Mobile Tuesday program often offers a free Tropical Smoothie Cafe 24 oz smoothie. We look forward to coming back again soon as we now know where there is a nearby location now that our location Tropical Smoothie Cafe has closed.

First, I have to give a huge shoutout to Teanna for the outstanding customer service! She was incredibly patient and walked me through all the different options, while also explaining exactly what açaí is and how 3Natives incorporates it into both their smoothies and açaí bowls. She made the whole experience so welcoming and easy, especially for a first-timer like me! I ended up getting both a smoothie and an açaí bowl because I was eager to try everything and wow, I was impressed by both! The smoothie was definitely on the sweeter side, but the açaí bowl was absolutely perfect. I don't have many other açaí bowls to compare it to, but I really enjoyed the balance of flavors and textures. The granola added such a lovely crunch, and you could tell the fruit was super fresh. Needless to say, my first açaí bowl experience was a success!

It's full of: açai, homemade granola (that in itself is a winner!), natural peanut butter, sliced banana, and, diced strawberries. A perfect refreshing blend. Other's açai taste off. Indescribable. But here, it's fresh and delicious. I come here at least once a month after my massage for a perfect spa day treat. Or a healthier dessert option with the family. Kids love it!

Inside, the vibe is excellent and cleaner than my search history. Contrary to some of the other reviews I've read, my service was incredibly fast and efficient. To be fair, we walked in well after the lunch rush, but the staff was still totally on top of it. As for the food, my friends ordered The Club and The Grinder, and both absolutely loved them. I went with the Moroccan Turkey, and oh my god, I loved everything about it. The standout players were definitely the Greek yogurt sauce and that red wine vinaigrette. Absolutely incredible flavor combo. That said... unless my friends and I have suddenly hit a massive growth spurt, the portions could definitely be a bit larger for what you're paying. We're in Scottsdale, not a micro-portion tasting menu in Paris. Feed us, ChopShop! The real plot twist of the meal was the BBQ potato chips. I thought they were absolute perfection. However, they caused a full-on culinary debate in our group. They lean pretty sweet and have this distinct Indian-spice vibe going on. If you're expecting standard backyard-barbecue Lays, you're going to be confused. Half the table was questioning their entire existence, while I was busy hoarding the bag. Come for the great food and healthy atmosphere, just maybe grab a snack beforehand if you're starving--and prepare your palate for the chip controversy.

My husband and I have been Pressed Juicery customers since 2014 and have visited many locations…read moreacross different states. Over the past 12 years, we have literally purchased hundreds of Freezes, so we are very familiar with what a standard size 2 portion looks like. Our first visit to the Scottsdale Quarter location was disappointing. The Freeze serving size was noticeably smaller, approximately half of what we've consistently received at other Pressed Juicery locations. At the time, we didn't say anything to the server, but we did feel disappointed considering the price of $18 for two Freezes. We recently visited the Scottsdale Quarter location again on June 27th while shopping in the area, hoping for a better experience. Unfortunately, we had the same issue. The product did not even reach the rim of the cup, and the portion size again felt significantly smaller and a rip off. This time, I politely brought up the difference in portion size and shared photos as proof of what is consistent across several other Pressed Juicery locations compared to what we received at Scottsdale Quarter. The response I received was dismissive, and with an attitude the employee stated that this was the "correct" portion size. We will not be returning to this location. I would recommend visiting a different location to get a portion size aligned with $8.95 per cup and not served with a bad attitude. I attached photos to show the comparison of all other locations I have visited and then the sad photo of the Scottsdale Quarter location portion.
