    I've never tried tropical smoothie cafe I've only ever went to smoothie king, but today they were offering a free 12 oz. sunrise sunset smoothie if you wore flip flops for national flip flop day. This place was packed! The smoothie was tasty and very tropical. It's kind of hard to mess up a smoothie, so I wasn't expecting anything special but it was tasty, I'd come again to try other flavors!

    The best place to get a smoothie! Other then me making my own!! the service is always pleasant and does things in a timely manner. The ambiance is great and always clean with no waits. Definitely recommend!

    I've never been here before but I'm sure glad I did. The owner is very friendly and super helpful. We ordered food to go for our office and was very pleased. Chocolate chip cookies are delicious. I got the peaches and silk smoothie which has peaches, strawberries and banana. It was so good!! Very filling too. It had the right amount of ingredients! Everyone that got a smoothie really enjoyed it! I got the baha flat bread with chicken and it was good! Had peppers and red onions in it with a southwest ranch sauce. Bread was soft and fluffy. I will definitely come back here again! Next time I'm gonna try the jerk chicken wrap!

    Update: the service here has gone downhill, but the food and smoothies are still about the same. I have changed to what I order so the food options are great. The curbside option must be "optional" to the employees. Today, like quite a few of my previous visits, I chose the curbside option after ordering from the app. Lately, it's like a roulette wheel. Which will I get today, will I actually get curbside or will I actually have to go inside and see my order waiting on the counter. Today, like most days, I had to go inside to find my order already prepared. I checked to see how many people were working and how many people were in the restaurant. One customer was there who was waiting on their order and there were 4 employees. One was making the food and 2 looked like they were collecting the trash to take outside. BUT there was one was walking around not doing anything until I got my order and said my name followed by, "I ordered in the app for curbside pick up." The girl handed me my order without another glance and noticing that I said curbside pick up. Are they just not being trained? Seemed strange or lazy. Not sure.

    Haven't been to a Tropical Smoothie since Florida days. I'm so glad I found this spot that's so close by. The smoothie that has kale (not sure which One it was) tasted amazing and I wouldn't know it had it in it if the gal at the register didn't tell me. The flatbread sandwich was amazing, did I say how AMAZING it was, and the pairing that the gal picked for me was awesome. Another thing I like is when I can go into a food location and the person taking the request can suggest something. Many places you go to they stare at you like a deer in headlights. If you work there, unless you have a food allergy, the company should make you taste it free of charge so you can acquit yourself with the products you are to sell! This gal admitted she hadn't tried them all, but again, I was impressed with the pairing.

    Blimey Limey!!!  This orange juice based smoothie is awesome!!!

    My wife's Aunt owns a place at Oak Island Beach & I happen to find this Smoothie joint that I got addicted to while there August of 2013. As we were leaving I told my wife that the only thing I was going to miss was my daily Smoothie. Well we moved to South Charlotte that same month & 2 months later I stumbled across the Fort Mill location. God shined down on me that day! I now frequent the place. I now enjoy the wraps for lunch or breakfast with my Blimey Limey Smoothie. My wife enjoys the Tropical Colada.

    This is the best smoothie shop around. Alex makes the best smoothies, they are always consistent and they make your tastebuds dance. I would highly recommend trying them out.

    Finally made it to Poppyseed Kitchen, one of my friend's favorite spots, so obviously we had to…read moreventure down for her birthday! And I can officially see why she loves it. This is the cutest little gem tucked away at the end of a strip mall. The second you walk in, you're greeted by a fun poppy mural and a display of all the delicious pastries of the day. Immediately I'm like, okay, I'm going to like it here! We had about a 20-minute wait, but thankfully there was plenty of time for mimosas and catch up chitchat! And honestly, the time flew by... we weren't even finished with them before we were seated. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was on point from there. Someone filled our water glasses almost immediately after we sat down, and we never had a dry cup. Mimosa refills were quick, too! I also grabbed a chai latte that came in the cutest old-school homemade-looking cup and was perfectly warm and spiced. Soooo good! For food, two of us ordered the Fresh Pick Sandwich with fresh tomatoes, stracciatella, kale pesto aioli, arugula, fresh basil and balsamic glaze on perfectly toasted sourdough. I added avocado and bacon and basically turned it into the most deliciously elevated BLT of my life. I also made a pro side swap for my side and went with the cheesy grits. They were delicious. No notes! My friend got the Fresh Pick without tomatoes and added prosciutto, and another friend ordered The Grit with shrimp, and that plate was BEAUTIFUL. Sweet pepper and tomato sauce, mushrooms, crispy onions, arugula and an egg over a plate of grits. Between us, there were clean plates, full bellies and a whole lot of "what are we trying next time?" conversations happening. The food came out quickly, the service was great, the atmosphere was adorable, and it was just an all-around excellent brunch. My only complaints? 1-Why do they have the cutest pastry merch for kids but not adults... I need that "I'm flaky" croissant shirt lol! And 2-Why is this little gem not closer to me?! But clearly that just means I need to make the drive again. Poppyseed Kitchen has officially been added to the "worth the trip" list!

    Wife and I went for lunch. Excellent menu, good service, clean tables and floors and the dishes we…read moreordered were excellent. A rather stark, high-ceiling open floor plan with superb air conditioning. Bring a wrap as it does get chilly. Plates, bowls, sandwiches and salads, along with a kid's menu and miscellaneous snacky items. Prices range from $13 to $18. Decent portions. I had the The Bisquit and Gravy ($12) after asking for a sample taste of their gravy. I have had horrible biscuit and gravy dishes in many places where the gravy was just cooked flowered grease. Not at Poppyseed! It was excellent, flavorful and if you ask for more, you will get it. I did. Wife agreed on the gravy. Wife had the Poppyseed Salad ($12) which was so loaded with cucumbers that annoyed her. Very little lettuce, but lots of other hard veggies. She was not happy. My second choice that lunch day was listed as The Ranch Hash ($18). A fellow diner across from us ordered this hash and said he loved it. It did look good with braised brisket, potato hash and two eggs to order. A very fine portion and will be my order when we return. Parking galore. You will need to turn right when you exit on to Tom Hall Street, unless you get a lucky traffic gap. We will be back, for sure.

I almost ordered a second serving before realizing we still had four other dishes coming! The chicken and waffles definitely satisfied my craving--crispy, savory, and full of flavor. The mushroom ravioli was also outstanding. We finished with the stuffed calamari, which reminded me of something my mom used to make when I was younger. It wasn't Asian-inspired like hers, but the concept brought back some wonderful memories. To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious dessert while feeling pleasantly tipsy from the evening. I'd call that a win!

OK, I'll just say we had "da** fine" meals. Fresh, seasonal ingredients combined in some unique and surprising ways, beautifully prepared and so, so delicious. Just look at the photos of a selection of our dishes. This was well worth an update of my earlier review. First, Speckled Pear has removed the community seating and the prepared food, bakery and produce counters from my earlier visits and replaced them with true "restaurant" tables. The focus is now squarely on dining, with lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch service. And oh, there's still a wine bar and bottles are still available for purchase. In my humble view a significant positive step. Our servers were excellent, including helpfully explaining some of the wine options (my wife and sister-in-law ordered a flight). Still a fairly casual environment. Great acoustics- I hate echo chambers. We sat close to other guests but were able to easily talk among ourselves without hearing any extraneous neighbor conversations.
