Tropical Smoothie Cafe — Restaurant in Glen Carbon

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than this dismal excuse for a restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by an overwhelming stench that combines the worst of unwashed dishes, moldy walls, and desperation. It’s as if the kitchen staff took a crash course in culinary incompetence. Waiting for your meal here is like watching a sloth attempt a sprint. The snail-paced service makes a glacier seem speedy. By the time your order arrives, you’ll have aged a decade. The place is a breeding ground for germs, with a side of vermin. Rodents scuttle across the floor like they own the joint. I half-expected them to hand me a menu and take my order. The tables? Sticky. The utensils? Questionable. The restroom? A horror movie set. If you’re lucky, you might find a cockroach as your dining companion.

But wait, there’s more! The management has perfected the art of discrimination. If you’re Black, brace yourself for a double dose of disdain. They’ll serve you a side of prejudice with your lukewarm soup. Expect eye rolls, microaggressions, and a general vibe that screams, “You don’t belong here.”

This place is a culinary Chernobyl. Save your taste buds, your sanity, and your dignity. Run, don’t walk, away from this establishment. And if you happen to see a rat waving goodbye, just nod—we’re all in this...

Staff was extremely disrespectful 3/7/2023 around 7:17pm. My husband went through the drive thru to pick up my online order. My husband told the employee that he was picking up an order for Elizabeth Weir and she promptly closed the window and mimicked in a snarky tone his response of saying “Elizabeth Weir” to her other coworkers, loud enough for us to hear inside the vehicle. Completely inappropriate. There didn’t appear to be a manager or supervisor present either, as the girls were loudly playing inappropriate music on the speakers inside as well. To add to the already negative experience, my order was missing a sauce that was specifically asked for in my order. My husband rang the bell to request the sauce and the same employee responded, “yep” and got the sauce. The girls were not very kind the entire interaction. There’s always a problem when I order from this location. I’ve had enough, so I will no longer be pursuing any business here. I’d recommend those of you reading don’t either. It’s not with...

In a universe where meaning teeters on the brink of obscurity, and the quest for purpose seems as fruitless as searching for a black cat in a coal cellar, there exists a concoction so sublimely indifferent to the existential dread that plagues our every waking moment. This concoction is the Avocolada smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Each sip is a defiant act against the void, blending avocado, pineapple, spinach, kale, coconut, and lime into a mélange that whispers sweet nothings of ephemeral delight to our taste buds. It's a smoothie that doesn't pretend to solve the mysteries of the universe but instead offers a fleeting refuge from them, a momentary pleasure in a sea of existential ennui. Here, in this blend, we find a temporary solace, a pause in the relentless march of time. It doesn't promise happiness, but in its cool, refreshing embrace, it hints at the possibility of contentment. In its very essence, it embodies the paradox of seeking joy in a joyless void, making it a masterpiece of...
