Tropical Smoothie Cafe

This location needs to train there employees on fast friendly service. Not to be aloud to stand around and talk to the one person making the food. My wrap was pulled out of the oven and sat on top while i was clearly standing there waiting for it when one of the two people could have wrapped it for me while the other was making another order. Then the person making the food walks out and says he made my wrap incorrectly would i be ok with it or do i want to wait while he makes me another. No I wasn’t happy with waiting even longer. Because he still goes in the back and doesn’t wrap my wrap up and serve me with it he continues to make the food from the order behind me. Why doesn’t the owner of this company train the employees to help the others out instead of standing around talking. The Fredericksburg VA location could train these employees they are fast and friendly and I have seen them help others out. Before i even went in to order my food my boyfriend didn’t want me to because he said it always takes forever at this location.

Asked for no tomatoes. I get home and taco full diced tomatoes and the person that wrote on the tin foil to label the food presses to hard and writes on the tortilla bread. Tighten up!

I was very happy when this store opened in Culpeper. The smoothies are always done right (imo) and friendly service. The only drawback is when this place is busy, like 5+ customers in the line, it can take a while to get your order. Especially if there’s only one person in the back making the drinks, one doing the hot foods and one cashier. If they had more help I think the orders could have taken less time to be brought out. So I try to go in there when it’s not busy.
Ample parking, close to shopping (Martin’s, Target, Staples PetSmart)…

Love the smoothies. Saw this place during a drive by with Dawn. Great folks working here too.

I stopped in for a smoothie around 8:30pm. The place was completely empty and the cashier was cleaning the floors. This was my first time at this location and I decided to get your run of the mill strawberry pineapple smoothie.
$ 5.00 later… I left the store and began slurping away. I really thought that it was overpriced but at least it was fresh… at least, I saw her make it in the blender.
As for the taste, it definitely left something to be desired. It tasted somewhat watered down and lacked the strong flavor that I am accustomed to with a smoothie. Honestly, a SLURPEE FROM 7-​ELEVEN TASTES BETTER AND IS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE! :(
I was extremely disappointed!!!

Typical chain location. Asked the barista which fruits were real fruits (even if frozen) and what was juice from concentrate and wasn’t able to tell me. Asked for Splenda and got regular sugar. I can make better smoothies at home.

My son and I have never heard of Tropical Smoothie Café, but decided to go in anyway. I was hungry, but not starving and wanted something to tie me over until dinner. My son and I ordered the Smoothie and a Half, which is a smoothie of your choice with a small sandwich (a selection of about 6). I sat down and expected my wait to be about ten minutes or more. Within 2 minutes, the young lady brought our smoothies to our table. First of all, the smoothies were HUGE. I couldn’t believe it. Within another 2 minutes, our sandwiches were ready as well. We ordered our food to go, but the smoothies and sandwiches were delicious. Not only were they tasty (maybe even better than Dairy Queen), but filling. Our snack ended up being our dinner and kept us satisfied all night. My only issue is that there are no Tropical Smoothie Cafes near my home.

The food and smoothies are great. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. I love the classic breakfast sandwich and jetty punch smoothie. Yum!
