Tropic Sips

Love this place! It has a special relaxing feel to it!!!
We were warned it would take some time as she does everything from fresh and with her own hands!
Well worth it!!!
Try the shrimp and grits… OH MY!!!
Worth the wait!!!

I had a delicious wrap made with BK’s Hummus and much to my delight I was able to get it on a gluten free tortilla. The mango salsa was tasty and only had a hint of heat. I was impressed with the friendly service, atmosphere and freshness of the food. I have to say there was a party going on in my mouth. My taste buds literally were jumping for joy. Will I go back? You bet I will. I have a feeling this will be my go to place in Clermont.

We went for a late lunch. Only people there. We each ordered a wrap. It took over 25 mins for the food (wrap and frozen French fries) to arrive. The chicken had good flavor but was over cooked and very dry. Everything else was very regular, something anyone could make at home. My friend asked for no Tomatoes but they missed on that. The place smells bad too.
We were taking about how we should rate the place and had come up with a 2 or 2.5 Then, the cook came out and told us it took so long because it was made with love. Sounded strange because it was… a wrap. Like 4 or 5 ingredients. The fries we some frozen brand and the Ketchup was not Hienz.
We were asked if it was cash or credit before we got a tap. I asked for a tap to look at first and was handed a phone with a cracked screen by the cook that had my items listed. Gave them my card but they could offer no receipt other than email. It was just weird.
Positives:
Fun Décor, cool ice tea glasses, and not a chain.
I want a restaurant like this to do well, but unless they get better food, fill a lunch order in under 25 mins, get an actual cash register, and remove the bad smell inside, it won’t be around long.

The sign on the street says «high tea» but I did not see scones or tea sandwiches. But I did see a great selection of teas. Some great sandwiches. I had the 3 tacos and my friend had the club sandwich. Each had a can of soda @ 1.75
Tacos: they were of regular size. BBQ Pork with a cilantro salsa. I could barely taste to salsa. It was more of a pork sandwich on corn tortillas. No chips or anything as a side. Cost $ 5.50 good price for 3 tacos.
Club sandwich: just a normal sandwich with chips. My friend said. $ 8.50
Other eats on the menu were omelets, burgers… they are still working out the menu. It has recently become new ownership.
Atmosphere: very New Orleans style.
Staff: Very friendly but service was kind of slow. We were the first in for the afternoon and a few followed in after 10 minutes.
Reason for 3 stars. was looking for a high tea room. But instead found a good light lunch place.
I am not sure why they are advertising high tea. I only hope to move my stars up the next time I visit.
Will try to post photographs.
