Tropical Smoothie Cafe

This might just be my new favorite spot. The smoothies are delicious and HUGE. I definitely recommend the chicken pesto panini. The atmosphere is great, too. The best part is that it’s super affordable.

I’ve only been here once, but had a delicious smoothie. Top three I’ve ever tasted, and the service was fast. We got a limited edition flavor with bananas, dates, almonds, cinnamon and chia seeds. We looked up this chain to make sure there are locations closer to where we live so that we can come again. I liked the ingredient options (white chocolate, avocado), and the good menu was appealing (Thai chili steak or cilantro lime fish tacos). We weren’t asked what size of smoothie we wanted, so I think there’s only one option– big! Definitely split it if you’re with someone else.

I have been to Tropical Smoothie Café twice, both times at this location, since it is a mere four minute drive from my house. The first time was to retrieve a free 24oz (which is the standard size) classic smoothie of my choice. I got a blueberry bliss smoothie, and it was delicious. The first few sips tasted like pure banana, which made me wonder what the ratio of banana to blueberry/​other berries was. However, after I stirred it up a little more and drank a few ounces, I tasted less banana, and the smoothie became much better tasting. The second time, I had a similar problem. I got a 24oz sunrise sunset smoothie, which started out as a dud for me because it tasted like pure frozen orange juice (one of the ingredients), but just like the last smoothie I got, it tasted less like orange juice and became much tastier after stirring it up and drinking a few ounces, but the blueberry bliss was my favorite of the two. With my smoothie, I got a half chicken Caesar salad, which was very reasonably sized and there was plenty of tasty chicken on top! My total came to $ 7.40, which was great, because getting a 24oz classic smoothie is just under $ 5.00 alone. They had meal options to add a half sandwich or salad for the $ 7.40 total. All in all, I will be back to try more of the smoothies/​salads/​sandwiches, and perhaps request less banana or orange juice and more of the other fruits in my next smoothie to even out the taste.

Food was delivered fresh and fast. Smoothie was delicious. Will be making this place a once a week for lunch during the work week.

I’ll admit, I was apprehensive to visit based on the other Unilocal reviews, but we’ve now visited a handful of times and it’s safe to say our family LOVES THIS PLACE! Their sandwiches are great, their smoothies are amazing! Coming from the west coast, where smoothie places are a dime a dozen (and we have really missed them!) this is such an asset to the area. Not to mention that so often, the store is packed. Obviously we aren’t alone…

I have been here about a dozen times in the last month the smoothies are amazing and the food is great when the items are prepared right. One four different occasions I have had issues twice with multiple issues in the same visit. Two times my order was totally forgotten. While the food is great the staff and excision need work. This place should be a 4 or 5 star but they don’t seem to have thur customer service down yet!

My first and last visit contained slimy, seemingly uncooked chicken on my Thai chicken salad. I posted a photo to their facebook page and was told that their chicken arrives already cooked and they «steam it to perfection». Obviously their idea of perfection is very different than mine. Aren’t you excited to eat some pre-​cooked most likely processed chicken for your lunch? Mmmmm… healthy! No thanks. Go across the street and get a quality fresh salad at VG’s and spend way less! I wish I could post a photo to show it to you!

I’ve been here many times. The fruit does not always taste fresh. Avoid the watermelon, it seems to go off faster. The people are all really nice, but they are obviously super new and not well trained on customer service. If you ask not to get an ingredient and ask them to just add something more of another ingredient (their choice), they charge you for an additional ingredient — weird. I also wish they had stevia or agave as a sweetener option, instead of just Splenda or sugar. I’ll be trying the smoothie shop that is due to open in downtown Brighton.

If you like weak flavored smoothies then you’ll like it here. I got 2 different kinds, both were weak, tasted like water w a hint of flavor. Glad I won’t be tempted to go in here anymore.
