I will say their smoothie bowls are delicious. However. Ordering today was frustrating. I asked for…read moretwo smoothie bowls-original with dragon fruit base and honey add on. I'm pretty sure the darker one is not dragon fruit. I had called the store several times to place an order and no answer. Tried to place an order online through their website and my card was flagged for fraud. I would much rather have this conversation directly with the store however their phone number doesn't seem to work. I love their smoothie bowls but after today I'm not sure I'll go back

With the same brand of ice cream sold in multiple shops along Tourist-Trap Strip, you're pretty…read moremuch guaranteed to have the same taste in all of them. I had wanted to try this brand when we visited the Mt. Rushmore KOA and was sorely disappointed they had so many unique flavors... but none that were multi-allergen friendly. Cue.... BENKY'S! Strange name, but friendly smiles and delicious creaminess-in-a-cup! I get chocolate peanut butter or some variation thereof (my favorite) at pretty much every ice cream place. Makes it easy for me to judge them more fairly. Benky's was creamy, the peanut butter swirled in very thin layers so it basically melted in your mouth... and the cute interior of the ice cream shop gave us a nice, cool air-conditioned place to relax and cool both our insides and outsides at the same time. They also had outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade if you're into running the sweat-race of "Can I finish this before it drips all over my hand or becomes a puddle of goo in my cup?" sort of thing. Overall, good ice cream, good experience and delicious.

When we walked in, the staff was standing on the counter trying to install light bulbs, which were…read moretoo big for the fixtures, so they were cutting the ends off the light bulbs (LED/plastic) with shards of plastic going all over over the counter. We ordered a couple sundaes, one of which was posted with the rest, but were informed it would be $2 more due to the ice cream they used in that particular one. Went back in to grab a couple waters and they had a table pushed up against the cooler door and an employee was standing in the table putting up another light fixture so had to wait...which is fine, but I couldn't help but wonder if they planned to clean the counter/table after standing on them. There were a handful of other customers there besides us. Ice cream was fine but nothing to write home about, especially for the price. Likely will not go back again next time we're in town...just a weird experience overall.

I stopped by here earlier this morning with my wife and her parents for our morning coffee. While…read moreStraight shot Espresso wasn't our original target, we ended up passing it on Jackson Blvd and so decided to stop. This coffee shop is the type that has a window on each side where you can order from. On this morning there was a nice lady working the window and we ordered 2 - 12 oz Americanos as well as a 24 oz Americano for myself. After waiting a bit for the coffee to cool, I was finally able to try it. The coffee here didn't impress me much. While it wasn't bad, it also wasn't a flavor that suited me. I will say that it was a bit on the lighter side and smooth without any bitterness. The bottom line for me is that I probably would not head back here again in the future. While there was nothing wrong with the coffee per se, it just wasn't for me.

Terrible Service and No Accountability…read more I placed an order with Tropical Smoothie Cafe only to find out they were CLOSED when I arrived to pick it up. No notice, no heads-up -- just locked doors and no staff in sight. I've gone back FOUR times trying to get this resolved, and still no refund, no food, no apology. This is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of customer care or business responsibility. If you're going to take people's money, at least be open when you say you are -- or issue a refund when you're not. Won't be returning, and I'll be telling others to avoid this location too.
