Tropical Smoothie Cafe has quietly slipped into Burleson Crossing in Bastrop, bringing freshly blended smoothies and a tight lineup of wraps, bowls, and flatbreads to a shopping center that keeps padding its food roster. The cafe started serving in late November, giving Highway 71 commuters one more grab-and-go option on the way through town.
Where To Find It And How To Order
The Bastrop shop is at 717 Highway 71 West, Suite 400, and offers online ordering, in-store pickup, delivery, and curbside service, according to Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The store page also lists a phone number for quick call-in orders, plus directions for anyone trying to navigate the Burleson Crossing maze of driveways and parking lots.
About The Brand
Based in Atlanta, Tropical Smoothie Cafe has been on a steady growth sprint. The company marked its 1,500th cafe opening in late 2024 and now operates in 44 states, the brand said in a press release from PR Newswire. With that kind of national footprint, it is not exactly a shock that a franchisee staked out a spot in Bastrop's busy Burleson Crossing.
Renovation, Hours And Grand Opening
The 1,341-square-foot space has been getting a top-to-bottom interior refresh since late August, with roughly $250,000 in renovation work, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation cited by Community Impact. That outlet also reports the Bastrop cafe opened Nov. 23, keeps weekday hours from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and weekend hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and promoted a Dec. 6 grand-opening giveaway where the first 50 customers could score free smoothies for a year.
What It Means For Bastrop
The new cafe adds another fast-casual option for breakfast and lunch in a part of town that has seen a steady trickle of new restaurants. With its compact footprint and emphasis on digital ordering, the Bastrop location appears built for quick turnarounds. It will likely translate into a handful of part-time jobs for residents.
