SMOOTH START TO SUMMER



Slide on your flip-flops Thursday and stop by the Tropical Smoothie Café in Irvine or Fullerton. (Who knew June 21 was National Flip-Flop Day? The Tropical Smoothie Café does.) If you're among the first 500 customers wearing flip-flops, you'll receive a free 24-ounce Jetty Punch smoothie.

And you can give $1 to help Families Forward, an Irvine-based nonprofit that raises money for low-income and homeless families in need.
On the first day of summer, the Tropical Smoothie Café gives customers a taste of a tropical vacation, putting them in a summer/vacation mode.

It also offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options, more than 35 real-fruit smoothies, specialty wraps, gourmet sandwiches made with only high quality Boar's Head meats and cheeses and salads.

In Irvine, open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. 3972 Barranca Parkway (in Crossroads Center). 949.387.7303.

In Fullerton, open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 229 E. Commonwealth. 714.680.3008.
