Tropical Smoothie Cafe
I love smoothies, so was happy to take a friend’s recommendation to meet at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Lake Forest.
The restaurant is a franchise, so they have locations across the country. It turns out that this South Orange County location was a great place to meet a friend for a bite and conversation.
By accident, I was there at the perfect time to get a happy hour deal. Instead of an evening happy hour, theirs runs from opening until 10am. All smoothies are just $3.
They’ve got a nice selection of fruity, green, super food and dessert-like smoothies.
I had a mango smoothie that was really good. Their sizes are bigger than I expected. Even at full price, it was a good deal. Happy hour made it even better.
We both ordered from their $3.95 all day breakfast menu. The food was good and made to order from fresh ingredients. I was happy with my breakfast burrito.
They also serve salads, wraps, flat breads and bowls.
If you plan on becoming a regular, you can sign up for their rewards program for extra perks.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe has indoor and outdoor tables. It was a warm day, so we sat outside to enjoy the sun and blue skies.
I was there at 9:30am. There were plenty of parking spaces available and no line inside. I’d expect it to be busier earlier in the morning and closer to lunchtime.
