During my recent visit to Tropical Smoothie Cafe, I encountered several issues that considerably diminished the quality of my experience. A fundamental aspect of a good smoothie is its texture, and unfortunately, the smoothies I tried were poorly blended. This resulted in a consistency that was neither smooth nor enjoyable, detracting significantly from what one would expect from a specialized smoothie store.
The Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie, a blend that should ideally be rich and creamy, unfortunately lacked body. It failed to deliver the indulgent, robust peanut butter flavor that is characteristic of such a smoothie. This was a significant letdown, especially for someone who looks forward to the luxurious texture and flavor that a peanut butter smoothie promises.
Moreover, the Detox Island Green Smoothie, which should be a refreshing and revitalizing option, was truly awful. It missed the mark in terms of flavor balance, making it difficult to drink and enjoy. The ineffectiveness in blending the ingredients contributed further to its unappealing nature.
Given these experiences, I am compelled to say that I will not be returning to this establishment. It's disheartening when a cafe specializing in smoothies fails to deliver on the most basic expectations of taste and texture. Customers frequent smoothie cafes for high-quality, flavorful, and well-blended drinks, and unfortunately, Tropical Smoothie Cafe did not meet these standards during my visit.

Went in for my Birthday Rewards 24oz smoothie, Chia Banana Boost. She couldn’t get it to blend evenly but it was still good, some of the dates were at the bottom and straw was too small because it was too thick. Thank you!!!!

Chia Banana Boost
My first time here. Line went pretty fast. Ordered banana pudding ice cream cup with whip cream. It was yummy! My friend ordered the Piccadilly shaved ice. It is for the extravagant. Cherry flavoring with Tajin and cut up sour pickles…

This place is awesome I just happened to be in the area and decided to go in and check this place out, the atmosphere was so inviting. I was approached immediately by a young lady I believe her name was Andrea her customer service was amazing, she explained their menu to me in full detail then she made a suggestion I’ve been hooked since. In addition to the outstanding customer service the smoothies are delicious the best hands down.

Extremely rude. Went to pick up an order placed through the app, and nobody acknowledged me for quite a while - until I finally spoke up and asked if I could please pick up my order. She seemed inconvenienced by the request. Then when I said it is only good manners to acknowledge people who come into the establishment she gave me a dirty look and just turned away from me. No hello, no sorry, no have a nice day… nothing.

Wonderful smoothie shop that I have enjoyed since opening. The owner has always been helpful and with fresh ingredients, I have the option to constantly personalize my smoothie. Go to favorite is Peanut Paradise, pea protein, sub turbine for spinach/kale mix. Yum!!
This is my favorite place to go for a smoothie. I always get the peanut paradise and order on the mobile app which is so super easy to use plus I get points for free smoothies. I have been coming here for over a year and it’s my absolute favorite go to in the morning after a workout or before I go to work. Everyone at this location is so friendly and service is always fast! ⭐️
I absolutely love this place you get more for your buck much appreciated with the price of things escalating

I know this tropical smoothie used to be in spring but they had to move down to 2920 because as far as I’ve heard that Covid messed up their business. I still love the smoothies, their sandwiches, and snacks. Wish they would have beats, carrots, and jalapeños to their menu, but I’m almost certain the third one wouldn’t, but the other two vegetables would be a great hit, but that’s just my opinion. Their customer service is outstanding today I did an Uber and forgot to call Lynn to specify how many pumps and scoops and when I called they said they remembered my name. I appreciate that very much. If you haven’t tried tropical smoothie, you definitely gotta try it!
