Island Daiquiri – A Fun Go-To Spot with Great Drinks, But a Recent Visit Fell Short Island Daiquiri has been my go-to daiquiri spot for a long time now, and I’ve genuinely grown to love the place. Whether it’s a chill weekday or a fun weekend outing, it’s always been one of those spots where I can count on good vibes, strong drinks, and great customer service. I’ve had so many positive experiences here—especially thanks to one of the ladies who usually works behind the counter. She’s super friendly, upbeat, and just brings great energy every time I walk in. Her presence is honestly a big part of what’s made this place feel like a favorite. That said, my most recent visit for a to-go order didn’t quite meet the standard I’ve come to expect, and I left feeling a little disappointed. The guy who helped us was very nice and tried to be attentive, and I appreciate that. But even though he kept saying we weren’t being rushed, I couldn’t help but feel like we were being hurried along. It’s hard to explain, but the vibe was just a little off. There was also a second server, a woman who didn’t really say anything to us at all. She seemed distant or like she might have been having a rough day. While I totally understand that everyone has off days, especially in the service industry, it did affect the energy and overall experience this time. It didn’t feel like the usual warm and welcoming environment I’m used to at Island Daiquiri. What really gave me pause, though, was noticing some hygiene concerns. I saw someone cleaning and then turning around to serve drinks without washing their hands, which honestly caught me off guard. That’s just not something I’ve seen here before, and it made me feel uneasy—especially considering how much I usually rave about the place to others. Despite that, I want to be clear: I still love Island Daiquiri. Their daiquiris are consistently amazing, with so many fun and flavorful options to choose from. The food is also a hidden gem—perfect little finger foods that pair well with drinks, plus their Jell-O shots are always a fun touch. They’ve nailed the formula for a good time, with great music, a vibrant vibe, and a super cute setup when they turn the lights down at night—it gives it a cool, fun lounge feel without trying too hard. So yes, while this last experience rubbed me the wrong way and left me a little disappointed—especially since I hold customer service to a high standard—I’m not writing them off. Everyone has bad days, and this place has given me so many good ones. I’ll definitely be back to give them another shot and hope the next visit feels more like the Island Daiquiri I’ve come to love. If you’ve never been, I still recommend checking it out. It’s a great spot to grab a drink, catch a vibe, and relax, no matter what day of the week it is. Just hoping my next visit brings back the experience I’ve always enjoyed.

My first visit here and the customer service was amazing. They were very patient with me (I'm picky). They gave me great suggestions and answered all my questions. I was able to taste before I purchased a flavor. I got the strawberry peach margarita and it was amazing. I also tried a watermelon jello shot and it was also very good (tasted like watermelon jolly ranchers). I will def be coming back here with my friends 😊. They also had food I didn't try it this time buy next time I will.
