Taste of the Tropics, founded by Katyla and Thomas Boykin in October 1984, is a locally owned and operated smoothie shop located in College Station, Texas. The concept originated during their honeymoon in Venezuela, where they were inspired to create fruit drinks using native Venezuelan fruits, ultimately leading to the Americanized fruit smoothie that has become a beloved staple in the community.

The shop has a rich history of family involvement, with their children contributing to its success over the years, and has received numerous accolades, including recognition as one of the best restaurants in College Station. Now under the ownership of Abdul Motin, Taste of the Tropics continues to thrive while maintaining its commitment to offering a welcoming atmosphere where staff are treated as family.
