Recently tried a Coconut Royale smoothie from the Tropical Smoothie Café in the Avenue Mall. Nice, creamy mix of strawberry, cranberry, and coconut - some of Wisconsin's basic local crops, of course (especially cranberries and strawberries). The Tropical Smoothie Café is open from 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Friday, and from 8 am to 5 pm on Saturday. The menu has an exciting variety of sandwiches, wraps, soups, and salads, in addition to their headliner smoothies, where about 20 varieties are available.

They've been here since 2006 and seem to be doing well. Drop by for a quick, tasty treat or meal.
