Tropical Smoothie Cafe, a chain with more than 1,000 locations across the country, has opened its first Cedar Rapids site at 2215 Edgewood Rd. SW, Suite B. The first Eastern Iowa location joins Iowa franchises in Ames, Ankeny, Fort Dodge, Johnston and West Des Moines.
The location opened earlier this month after several months of anticipation with a sign above an empty storefront.
The cafe has more than 20 types of smoothies with fruit and vegetable blends, offering supplements and add-ins for collagen, vitamins, protein, energizing and fat burning effects. Also on the menu are a variety of light meal options including wraps, flatbread sandwiches, quesadillas and salads.
