A great neighborhood market, that has a pretty decent grocery selection, a great craft beer and wine selection, great selection of fresh produce, a meat counter, plus a coffee & juice bar.

A great little shop with an excellent range of food and drink. Staff are courteous and helpful every visit. First rate!

Love this place! Not just a market. An appealing and welcoming environment with plenty of places to sit and relax. Enjoy a fresh juice or coffee then do some grocerie shopping on the way out. Penty of healthy food and produce options and a good selection of wine. The staff is amazing!

Nice people, nice produce, nice products. Some great prepared food options as well. The juice bar is also a highlight.

This place has alot of items you need, and if they dont have it, they will order it for you! and they have a very nice staff

Charming little market with all sorts of goodies, and an excellent lunch option inside with Ziv!!

First of all Id like to say I was very surprised with this little spot in Highland Park. Having grown up in the area and now living in Lancaster I dont get to check out the new spots in HLP. As soon as I walked in the store I noticed the beauty and the cleanliness of the store. Secondly, I ordered a tuna sandwich which was SUPERB, possibly the BEST tuna sandwich I have ever had! My daughter also enjoyed the biscuit sandwich she ordered. And the Oregon Oatmeal cookie was deelish too! Needless to say next time we are in LA I will stop by to grab another sandwich on the GO! Kudos Tropicana for this fine establishment you have brought to the community.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful but most of the stuff here costs an arm and a leg. For example they charge you $8.00 for a big bottle of seventh generation lavender air freshener and they also charge you approximately the same amount for a box of seventh generation dryer sheets. I wanted to purchase two gallons of regular milk but the girls who were in charge of the store told me that they only had 2% milk. So I declined to purchase it because that milk tastes like plane water. They also charge you $7.00 for a small box of white 13 gallon bags. If you want to purchase anything from these people you have to bring quite alot of cash. They also charge you $3.00 for a small brownie on the pretext that they bake them here. In reality, I only come to this place when I am in need of white trash bags but not because I particularly enjoy it. If I ever find a cheaper place to go to where I can purchase all of these items I will forget about coming here for good.

They had NomadpopsicleIt was so good

I love this market - it’s got juice and veggies

Amazing market. Gourmet coffee, Kombucha on tap. Like a little Trader Joes in the hood.

Local L.A. goodness. Try the juice bar, deli, too.

Great finds, friendly staff!

Great service with yummy sandwiches and fresh acai bowls/smoothies. Also lots of healthy/unique snacks to choose from! Highly recommend as a grocery store and a place for prepared food. Came in with my full lacrosse team and they served us all with a smile.

I come here often. I always order the ice caramel latte. I absolutely love the way that ERICA makes my drink. If she doesn’t make my drink, I won’t order. She is very polite, respectful, courteous, nice, and genuine. Every time she makes my drink, I notice the 1st thing she always do is WASH HER HANDS!!! After that she continues and makes my drink to PERFECTION 👌🏾

Friendly staff, the kombucha bar changes flavors frequently enoughHope they open the sandwich spot again soon

4 star pizza had better not bad tho cool lunch stop

Classic grocery/deli/grill in Highland Park. Top shelf quality foods, some toiletries, and household goods. Go there for breakfast burritos, health drinks/food, their outdoor seating, and mom-n-pop shop vibes.

Love their affogato espresso drink so delicious. But I like it better when the guy with glasses makes it. Versus the ladies that work in the cafe.

I love this place. Tiny. Lots of vegan options. Juice bar, deli, coffee, smoothies, groceries, sit down area, water filter vending machines outside. All their missing is a happy hour

Best Corner store ever! Well stocked with pretty much anything you need. Clean, organized and friendly service to top. They have a well thought out selection of beer and wine. Their Juice and coffee bar ROCKS!! Oh and did I mention they have Kombucha On Tap? OHHH YA, love having this place in my community. Keep it up La Tropicana.

Wow, I love this store! VERY clean. The energy feels great in here. So much organic produce. Cant beat the Intelligentsia coffee, and they have a great selection of beer and wine and feels like family in here. I just love the service and warm and fuzzies just being in here. You can sense how happy they are to be at work, you know? Its so well stocked with anything you might need -- like, I can get things like crazy glue and natural turmeric shots (which i LOVE) in the same place - not to mention... Inside the store is a deli counter called Monte 52 that serves the best gourmet sandwiches for only like $7 or $8!

The atmosphere in this place in nice! The selection of generally healthy foods is great and the employees are really nice and helpful!!

This review is for the Monte 52 restaurant in the back. Love this place. Everything I have had there is fantastic. Best Cuban sandwich in LA. They make it using a sandwich press so the cheese melts and the bread gets golden brown and delicious. Its different then Portos and all their copycats, and is a similar style to the way they make Cubans in NYC.Tip: Any sandwich on their board, they will make as a salad. I recommend the buffalo chicken salad, or the Reuben salad. There are a couple sandwich shops I have been loyal to and I feel a little bad that I have not been back to them since I started going to this place.

Good local place for your convenience. Probably the only place Ive seen in highland Park that has different items if you need to do a short list of items for food. Also kombucha on tap. Good coffee collection.

The selection of generally healthy foods is great and the employees are really nice and helpful!! Havent checked out the deli before but I can assure you the snack aisles are phenomenal!!

A jewel in the Ruff Monte Vista and Avenue 52 I used to walk down the street when I was a little boy a little boy and Im 61 years old now this place that building has been there forever now its the Tropicana Market Sears the neighborhood well and not too expensive try it!

Hipster gentrification of local convenience store. What a trip... Great food, convenient location, healthy options. Get your groceries, sandwich, coffee, and some ice cream all in 1 stop

Me and my dad go here almost every weekend and the food is great, the drinks are great and the service is great. Tai is a employee there and she is wonderful,great customer service.

Cute little shop w lots of fresh options: juice bar, coffee bar, kambucha bar, full service deli, groceries & booze. very efficient. a little pricey but understandably so.

Great experience every time. Love the team. Love the management. Would walk a mile out of the way to support this business. Well done

One of the best kept secrets in Highland Park. Gonin, and order anyone of their reasonably priced sandwiches on perfect bread. My husband can even request gluten-free. Just go there. now.

2 years ago a burrito here cost $5. Now it costs $13. A GTS kombucha costs $7. Regular boxed chicken stock, $8. You can find cheaper prices in Beverly Hills. I, like so many residents of highland park, appreciate this place for its convenience and organic food options. But these prices are out of control, and theyre being raised by the month. Im tired of being robbed.

Love this place, got a juice made in smoothie form by the lovely and charming employee, Heya! Yum, yummy :)

Great staff, amazing selection, and a wide variety of smoothies! Shout out to Ty, who’s always there to greet everyone with a smile!

What a wonderful store with so many varieties of considerate offerings, from fresh turmeric root (you cant find this at Whole Foods), to authentic Mexican and Middle Eastern products, to fresh family-style specialty dishes - yum, I can taste the pomegranate molasses and Aleppo peppers now! The friendly staff makes this corner of the neighborhood a warm place to visit often!

Cool little shop at the back of a convenience store. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I shared the cuban on wheat and the chicken salad sandwich. I thought both sandwiches were overly salty. I am planning to go back to give this place another try.

Love food from monte 52Long ago they mostly had fruits and vegetablesNow they have wines ice cream and a good selection of drinks1

The market itself is pretty normal. Decent selection, but not super cheap.However, the sandwich shop inside, monte 52 is outstanding!! Super delicious sandwiches.

First time here OM goodness. Great coffee, food & the best Staff ever!

This place has a cool local corner shop vibe. Coffee is ok, I mostly go because I like the neighborhood snugness.

Nice place. Food was good and there are items for vegiterians. They also have Intelligencia coffee.

Such a sweet little market! Great vibe and friendly service.

Kombucha on tap, craft beers, great deli sandwiches. Get in here. Staff are sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Great customer service. The place is also very clean!

Courteous and friendly. The owner Rana is a very devoted community concerned person.

Very expensive. I only recommend the coffee bar. I only buy grocery gear if I really need something and I am too lazy to walk to food for less. They have lots of granola, organic, vegan stuff. The grill in the back is ok. Not the best sandwiches I have had but average.

I had the Vampire w/turmeric

Ive Been There Before

I got a Cuban sandwich from the back counter and it was salty as hell. It had some good taste but the saltiness overpowered the sandwich. The gentleman that served me was was friendly and polite.I bought a Hulk Juice drink from the juice counter and it was alright. The young lady that served me could have made more effort at being less monotone.I paid for my sandwich and juice bar purchases at the front counter, then sat down and ate my lunch. I noticed that they had some large watermelons $0.45 a pound and I was thinking of getting me one of those. So after eating my food I grabbed a shopping cart and went to go get some avocados and a watermelon. They were stickered Calavo and were large. I picked out three of them and I held up one of them and ask the lady at the front counter and how much they were. She said $3.50 each. At that point I was really bummed because I was going to have to put them back. I check the sticker and it didnt say anything about being organic.I grabbed a soda from the refrigerator and went to go pay, and when I get there she tells me there will be a $0.50 charge to use credit. If I had known that they charge a fee for purchases under $10 I would have paid for everything at once. I forget what I was asking the lady at the front counter but I had trouble understanding half of what she was saying and she couldnt understand what I was saying. I asked her what was the problem and she told me its because theyre music was up too loud. I told her maybe she could turn it down.My initial impression of this place was good and I was excited to get a watermelon and some avocados. Im not sure if I want to come back or not.

Cute store with a wide selection and moderate to high prices. The woman who helped me and other customers at check out was using the companys land line phone on a personal call the entire time! It was unprofessional and frankly quite rude.

Monte 52 inside has delicious sandwiches.

Great little store. Street parking only. Wonderful coffee bar with kombuca and ice cream and juices. Everything was well priced and seemed delicious (had the power juice and the matcha green eye). Monte 52 is where the sweet spot is. Infatution tips were spot on with the fried chicken sandwich, cuban, and breakfast burrito all being spectacular. Although I think my favorite was the homemade bagel that was just sitting there and looked weird but tasted amazing. Also the soup was a tad too salty for my tasty. The rest of the store is cute with lots of small options, nothing I think Id really want to come to for the shopping but great for browsing overall. Awesome little store and eager to come back!

Yes, this place is overpriced in comparison to a grocery store but thats bc its a fancy convenience store/deli/juice bar. This place reminds me of NYCs fancy bodegas- the ones you can find coconut water and kombucha, or even Meyers cleaning products. The deli in the back far surpasses any NYC bodega deli though! Theres also a juice/smoothie/icecream place on the side (but its usually closed when I stop by, as their hours are on the earlier side). I LOVE IT especially bc they still have hot cheetos.

First time trying the Acai bowl and I loved it. 😋

A good place for a sandwich nice customer service

Amazing juices and sandwiches! They also have V05 shampoo

I love this place! The acai bowls are so good!
