A huge menu of different smoothies and different types. (Aka fruit blend smoothies and some with vitamin supplements added) A nice menu of relatively healthy, tasty food as well. So if you want that trash food, beef flavored pink paste burgers, hit up the local McDonald's, don't go here. Otherwise, the place is lovely to have available for us in Arlington.
When I first moved here 34 years ago, it was just my family's houses on a large plot of land and a few houses here and there in Arlington.
Now, it's filled with people. We have a middle and high school, huge subdivisions older and new, a new aprt complex, hair and nail salons, doctors' offices everywhere, a small and limited ER, even a minor med. I hated to see Arlington lose its countryside appeal but it has become such a cute small town, this small smoothie shop going above my expectations. This smoothie shop is my weekly treat.
Arlington Apothecary, in my opinion, is a health blessing for us in Arlington. I had been dealing with the incompetence and careless care received from the pharmacists and techs at the Kroger pharmacy in Arlington, and let me tell you, to walk in a pharmacy with someone ALWAYS there willing to put in the effort to help you right then or after an extremely short wait. They even deliver to your house most days if you live close. Just ask. Will the pharmacist at Kroger care if you get your heart medication by tonight and drop it off for no extra charge? Hellll no. You're just a faceless dollar, but to these small businesses we're not just another faceless undeserved dollar in a huge corporation's bank, with their greedy CEOs worth billions while they pay their workers, our friends, family, and us ourselves, poverty wages. ALL businesses deserve our patronage because they earned it, not because they're a familiar name and/or our only choice. They're the type of ppl who remember your name, go out of their way to help a customer, and care if an employee doesn't have enough money to eat. Trust me there is no one better to work for than a small business owner. You become their family. Not paid so little you have to seek welfare...what little welfare this country provides compared to how much taxes we pay that could fund it. OR you could simply pay your employees a livable wage and not take advantage of the governments social help programs to provide your employees with enough resources to afford basic necessities like food, affordable meds, affordable housing while you sit in your 8th mansion. Take the thousands of dollars you spend with these companies every year, the places that don't care about you at all, to these businesses. Not the McDonald's or the Wendy's that gets your order wrong every single time you go there and doesnt apologize nor care, and even when it's right, the food is disgusting. Or the Kroger pharmacy or the Walgreens pharmacy filled with rude and lazy understaffed employees who will never care if you get your medications on time or not. I once was prescribed a medication for seizures. I didnt have a refill, but the pharmacist could have let me buy a few days of it until I could get worked in at my doctor. They refused, and I ended up in the ER because the pharmacist did not care if I died seizuring...my loss of profit alone won't be missed, but if more of us left such evil places we'd all be better off. All of the corporate businesses sucking the life out of us have to go, and more small businesses, pls move into Arlington. Of all the new companies and new assets to Arlington, the independently owned businesses deserve our dollar that the large corporations have come to take for granted. I've been all over this city reviewing every business or establishment I've went to on here. So trust me...the next time you're in Arlington/Lakeland and need food, medicine, your hair or nails done, a B12 infusion, a smoothie and chicken wrap, a vape, pizza- try one of our many stellar small businesses like Tropical Smoothie Cafe, because they take care of their customers. And Arlington has such a nice selection of...
Read moreWe had the most amazing experience at tropical smoothie in Arlington ! The food and smoothies were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of healthy and tasty. But what really stood out to us was the exceptional customer service, especially towards my child.

Read moreNice and clean environment with decent food and super slow service. The Green Dream Bowl was good but would've been enjoyed more if it had been served in a more timely manner. I was literally first to order and last to receive my food. Which was fully intentional. I can appreciate these locations because of the freshness of the ingredients and the...
