With nutrition shops littered all over Fargo, there's a lot to choose from. This one is nice because it's located right in the middle of all the buzz- close to the mall, scheels, and tons of other shopping areas. I just love the atmosphere here-- it's so intoxicatingly vibrant, you can't help but absorb some of the energy ringing around. The workers are so upbeat and love their job, and they really make you feel welcomed and valued. That's definitely not the experience I've had in quite a few nutrition shops and businesses in general. Color me impressed! Let's talk shakes and teas: FANTABULOUS! This is genuinely my new favorite Fargo nutrition place; I used to be a faithful supporter of one closer to me, but BVLD has turned me to the dark side. Their shakes are literally some of the best I've ever had, they taste exactly how they are presented & described. And the teas are perfectly mixed- some places don't mix them well enough so the powder just sits in the bottom and clumps, but here they put just the right amount so it's still very tasteful but evenly balanced. This is the perfect guilt-free treat, as everything is healthy (made with Herbalife products) which is also part of my obsession with nutrition places. I'm just genuinely in love and couldn't more highly recommend!

It's nice that they are open until 6pm even on Fridays, because we had already tried to go to two other nutrition places before this one and they were closed... They had the longest list of teas I have seen in a nutrition place yet, it actually startled me. But it's good to have that happen sometimes. I got the berry pomegranate tea and it is pucker sweet and just the way I like it. I wanted to get the dragonfruit tea but the work said they were out because that ones so popular. I guess save that for next time. I haven't tried their shakes but definitely will in time and will report back. But I loved the vibe of this place, the menu was extensive, the worker was so sweet, and I have nothing to report but positives!

I spend over $500 dollars alone at these stores monthly. 13th avenue location employees are courteous and professional! recently I used the app to order ahead at the 45th st location. I got there to pick up my order (17 dollars after tipping like every day I go up to 3 times a day) and there was a young woman new manager working and before I could even politely ask if they had n order for me she yelled towards me "we threw out your order, you can buy another one if you want but you have to pay for it." ..... I didn't get much of n answer besides rude yelling refusing to say anything besides it's "your fault that we threw it away" (btw never say that to a customer in service industry). I'm not a confrontational person so I went to the til to pay for an another order (for my 3rd order of that day already). and realized I didnt bring my wallet since I already paid for my order on the app (the one that the new manager blames me for her tossing it). I quietly walked out of the store went to the 13th ave location and got my order FREE OF CHARGE and they apologized for the rude manager and terribly embarrassing service and customer interaction at the 45th location. I should've reached out to the owner after the next time I went back and the rudeness and sarcastic remarks i was greeted with a couple days later. I can't decide if I'm going to stop going to tropical in fargo all together until this unacceptable confrontation is handled and hopefully eventually I can receieve my order that I already paid for.. (The issue only revolves around 2 newish employees who refused to tell me their names but they're both heavier set and the manager dark complection is the one who told me she is the manager when I kindly asked for a manager the day I went there (even though she refused to even tell me her name and also said she's not allowed to give out her boss's name LOL.. wonder why she was saying this. But I hope the boss goes to look at cameras for himself because the fact that she even has a job means she had her co workers along with herself fabricate confrontation that day." Besides those 2 employees the other especially the ladies who have been there for a long while are phenomal staff! Not until a few months ago had the staff had some serious problems. Want to make sure I don't get the hard working polite employees in hot water. ENTER 45th location at your own risk. read more

I go to Tropical Smoothie Cafe often, but usually go to the 25th street location. I won't go back to the 45th street location. The entire place smells like shit. Dirty dishes and tables all over the lobby long before any type of lunch rush. And don't even try to use a restroom here as it is totally evident that the staff of fat slobs don't attend to or clean the facilities. Gross. read more

Elite Nutrition

Most Fargoans know Elite is one of the O.G. nutritions places in town. Though there have…read morecontinually been more and more nutrition places introduced to the area, Elite is one of the few steadfast ones that has never wavered and remains as hoppin as ever. I've been here more times than I can count. Since I moved to Fargo I became hooked on nutrition shops and that hankering has never subsided. But Elite is the kickstarter of my habit. In high school my friend and I would stop here after school every single day we had a basketball game- whether home or away there was a tea and shake in our hands. I'm in no way superstitious but we certainly had a ritual for Elite. Coming back a few years later the inside has been remodeled, which is good because it really needed a re-vamping. And with the new Herbalife nutrition shop norms, Elite has also adjusted their menu to keep up with the times. Unfortunately this means the prices are also a lot higher. When I used to go, it was $7 total for a tea and shake and we used to think that was outrageous. Now it's about $7 for just a tea or a shake- double or more for both. Oh, to be in the past. I still love Elite, but with their updates I became more disappointed in them than I have ever been. Their shakes are still the same, but the teas are the difference. They used to be soo good- they were the only shop in town that put a pop of flavor in so that they were nice and tart. But now the teas are all powdery- they hardly mix them up and it's like drinking a very chalky, grainy tea. I thought that this was maybe just a one or two time thing, but it's been every single time I've gone. Which is too bad- most other nutrition places shake up their teas to make sure that the powder absorbs, but for some reason not here. Elite will no longer be my first choice for Fargo nutrition places, but it's one of the more convenient nearby ones which is why I'll go. Plus, they have text ahead and that's always so nice!

The two staff members working were nice. They have a menu…read morewith a large variety of shake options. You can't find the price of any of the items anywhere though, which made it harder. If you enjoy protein shakes with little to no actual produce I think you'll like this place. However, we were unimpressed with the product. We should have asked what's in the shakes. Where we come from, most shake places at least put a banana or some sort of real fruit in the shake. Again, I think this would be a great post workout place if you want an easy fix of protein. But as a "nutrition" place the flavor isn't par to what I've had elsewhere and definitely not nutritious.

And maybe I just picked the wrong sandwich, cuz the flavors truly didn't do it for me. But also the white bread they put the fixings into really detracted from the overall flavor. Blehhh. Still though, high rating from me because the establishment was really swanky on the inside, lots of clean spacious seating. A patio as well to eat outside. Soda fountain had some flavor shot options. The employees were all friendly and attentive. Clean restrooms (though they were individual stalls and gender segregated for no reason...). Also the pricing was a little steep but not horrid by today's exorbitant standards. Paid $11 for a 6"er.

The potatoes were COLD, DRY, and had a weird seasoning, which they shouldn't have been cold or dry because I requested them as a side. The gluten free bread WAS good, and I will say it would have been a decent deli sandwich, maybe like an Italian sub or BLT, but that bread as a breakfast sandwich...holy bread! I should have bought a baguette at Walmart and saved my $10+ on a piece of bread with a limp piece of bacon, enough egg to feed a family of 10, and a piece of cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted. This place was SO disappointing and I left starving - didn't event finish my food and should have asked for a refund. Sandwich and potatoes were absolutely disgusting - dry, cold, flavorless. I know this isn't the east coast where deli sandwiches are superiors, but cmon. there's better quality found at McDonald's. I'm not a particular person and I cannot just emphasize enough how gross and disappointing this was. Service was fine, they were nice and as expected. Ambiance was like that of a subway, not a mom and pop type of restaurant.

I'm extending my love of visiting food places (and other places also but you know food is it) to another state. FYI, Washington state, you were so legit with food places. Ok, I've been hearing about this place called Freddy's since we got here. It's been around for awhile and is extremely welcome known and popular. They serve a variety of goods, including great choices for burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, chili cheese, chicken tenders and steakburgers. There's too many other things to list but one of the main items that is super popular is the frozen custard. The hamburgers are smashed down and thinned out, so to speak, which is exactly how I like my burgers. You order at the counter, pay then you're given a number like most places. At the counter are packets of sauces for your fries or for whatever you want to put this stuff on. There are so many varieties, it's nice to have options. I ordered the California style double combo. I am an aficionado of the double double from In 'n Out, so I am always skeptical when I see something sort along the line of this burger. Other's in my party had the same burger, the chicken sandwich and a hotdog for my granddaughter. You can choose fries, tots, cheese curds, onion rings or applesauce as your side. We didn't have to wait long and our number was called. Now I've eaten my share of burgers, it's one of my favorite foods. This burger didn't disappoint. Smashed patty, onion, thousand lettuce, tomato and cheese. So good. I mean honestly just a good burger. I'm half and half on the fries. Now you've heard of shoestring fries right? These are seriously thin shoestring fries, I mean like you can gather a huge handful at one time, dip them and just go to town. And I did...Are shoestrings my favorite, no but these were good. My granddaughter had the custard. I don't know the difference between custard and regular ice cream and well, it doesn't matter. She had the chocolate custard and it was really good, I snuck a taste. Kids get this in their meals, how great is that? So would I come back here again. Yes indeed, there are so many other things to try and I look forward to that. To me, the inside is kind of old school vibe. You know like the whole red and white theme Grease (you know the movie?) hangout kind of place. I like it. So if you haven't tried this place, please do so. It's just good food.
