Tropical Smoothie Cafe — Restaurant in Springfield

This is my neighborhood cafe. I often pick up a smoothie while out running errands. On a whim, I grabbed a Caesar salad for dinner on a weeknight.

It was beyond disappointing, because I really dislike mustard, and have always considered Caesar salad a safe, mustard-free option. I’ll stick with smoothies...
