Tropical Smoothie Cafe Opens in Wildwood!
A brand new healthy restaurant option has opened in Wildwood. Tropical Smoothie Cafe which focuses on smoothies and healthy sandwich options has opened for business! The grand opening was a very exciting day and the staff was eager to serve hungry customers in this portion of town. Tropical Smoothie already had a location in Summerfield and Mount Dora, Florida and The Villages near Oxford.
(The Tropical Smoothie Cafe team was very excited to open and serve the first customers the other day.)
This new location is located across from The Villages on the Beaumont property right off CR 466A. This area of Wildwood has experienced explosive growth the past 3 years. The massive property which is not owned by The Villages has a Lowes, Publix, Aldis, Burger King, Town Homes, Hotel Suites, Gas Stations, Starbucks, Medical Buildings and more food options galore.

But Tropical Smoothie joins this area as one of the healthier options. One of the Tropical Smoothie Employees Biacha Claudio-Malave was very excited about the opening! She used to work at the summerfield location and I was a frequent customer at her store. If this location is run anything like the Summerfield location it will be a very popular destination for healthy options.
The interior of the smoothie cafe is completely modern. It is state of the art and a great place to enjoy a sandwich or smoothie. The location offers a drive-thru which is easily accessible. The location also offers outdoor patio seating.
This is yet another great food option that has come to Wildwood. Many improvements have been made to the town over the past few years. Even a downtown Wildwood restoration project is currently underway. We love seeing Wildwood continuing to flourish. The Beaumont property has brought so many jobs to the area. Tropical Smoothie Cafe just added to that total.
(The front counter at the new Tropical Smoothie Cafe features the simplified and modern menu expected of Tropical Smoothie.)
