I absolutely love Tropical Smoothie Cafe, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I understand why it…read moreis, because it is a quality product, but that makes it an occasional splurge treat vs being a more normal place to stop. You can order in advance online or through their app or you can order in store. The store is bright and cheerful (as you would expect from a place with a word like tropical in their name) and it is very clean and well kept. Staff is mostly attentive, but on occasion if they are busy making other orders or otherwise engaged it might take a minute to get their attention. I LOVE the huge variety of smoothies they have on the menu and that you can also customize them so easily. In addition to the smoothies, they also have bowls, sandwiches and sides. I do wish there were size options because the smoothies are fairly large. Overall, a delicious and fun place worth the occasional splurge.

The cool, fresh oasis on a sweltering hot Pittsburgh summer day!…read more Yes, today had feels-like temperatures up to 100 degrees, so what else do you dream of then a tropical smoothie from a cafe... or just Tropical Smoothie Cafe!! Hamburgers and fried chicken sandwiches may be great fast food options most days, but to beat the heat... Tropical Smoothie Cafe has the perfectly chilly smoothies and fresh ingredients in their wraps and flatbreads. We ordered a "How Far I'll ManGO" smoothie - thank you to Moana for helping them make this delicious treat. Perfect combo of mango & orange and just cool enough to stop our sweating for a few seconds. We also grabbed a Hawaiian Island Flat Flatbread. The barbecue sauce on this needs to be bottled and sold on the side - it's so yummy! The pineapples and fried onions add a perfect sweet crunch.

Nice little spot, perfect small hangout spot. The acai bowls looked great…read more Took a bit to make smoothies. No actual milk options. Asked for regular strawberry banana. Just takes like soy milk. If more flavor would have been there I would have enjoyed more, a tad pricey for what I got, but hey it was vacation. Visited in July- owner has me mistaken for someone below. Staff were friendly. Tdlr; would have liked a milk option & stronger strawberry banana flavor!

We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. We ordered and they started making our…read moreorder right away because no one else was there. The inside is fairly spacious with a pretty cute nautical theme. The protein bowl was a thicker consistency than we expected but it wasn't bad and it was pretty filling. The smoothie was good and exactly what I expected it to be. Really the only con is that the bowls and smoothies can be a little pricey but the price of fruit and groceries has gone up so it's to be expected.

They are passionate about fueling a healthy, active lifestyle. Tried the Sunrise Bowl- blue majik, granola, banana, strawberries & honey- was sweet and fresh! The Tropical Tide smoothie has mango, coconut, banana & almond milk- tastes like a summery/tropical day! Can't wait to check out more menu items!

Right off the walking trail and plenty of available parking, Caleese Coffee is a jolt of bright colors right from the storefront. Step inside and the modern finishes immediately invite you to a wonderful experience. The menus are big and bold with plenty of options and the staff does whatever they can to welcome you!! We grabbed a latte off the world menu - Pizzelle Latte... and then with the beauty of the displays, we grabbed a Smores Brownie from the front counter!! The drink was ready very quickly.. even on a busy day.. and the barista walked it over to our table inside. They do have a wonderful outdoor seating patio too!! You can tell this is a community spot... with a board of dog photos from the happiest customer on display! I love when a business enjoys their customers!!!

Inside it's pretty small with just a few tables and chairs and the counter where you order. The menu is limited at the trail location compared to their main location. They serve multiple drinks as well as some baked goods and bagels. The Aloha latte was very yummy with tropical flavors from the macadamia and coconut. The Pink lady was not what I was expecting, but was essentially a club soda with some cherry and raspberry juice and a slight sweetness added. Very pretty drink but not much to it. The outside has a darling seating area which would be lovely with nice weather. They do also sell cute merch like hats and tote bags. Very cute spot with different and fun drinks!

Aruba Island Bowl is fantastic! I visited with my husband, and the space is absolutely beautiful…read more The owner, Julian, really poured his heart and soul into creating an environment that reflects the essence of his home island of Aruba. Starting as a local food truck vendor, he and his team opened their new location two years ago, and have truly brought something special to the area. The beach vibes are totally felt, with tropical-themed murals, bright colored walls adorned with original artwork, and decorative items including souvenirs, signage, and even sand from the beaches of Aruba, contained in bottles. What more could you ask for? If that wasn't enough, the açaí bowls and smoothies are amazing. I ordered the Purple King Bowl with a Blue Spirulina Layer and my husband had the Pink Lemonade Smoothie and Cosmo Bowl. Everything was outstanding. You really could tell that there was a difference in the quality of their ingredients. The fruit was fresh. The base was smooth. It makes me wonder, if this is the real thing? What was I being served at other places? From pastries, poke bowls, salads, soups, lattes, and other additional breakfast and lunch items, they offer so many options to keep you coming back for more. As someone from out of state, I'm a bit envious of the locals who have such a wonderful cafe to visit. However, I'm excited to see how this business grows. Not only do they nourish the community from the inside out, but they also have an event space on the second floor, where they hold yoga classes through Pink & Powerful Fitness, as well as hosting other group events. If we lived closer we'd be returning customers for sure. I hope in the future they consider franchising because we would love this in NY. This is definitely a business worth supporting.

Live Fresh is a local chain restaurant that serves cold-pressed juices (e.g., green, citrus, root,…read moreand immunity), smoothies (e.g., fruit, green, coffee, and nutty), bowls (e.g., açaí, green, and tropical), toasts, fruit cups, and parfaits. Many add-ins (e.g., milks, nut butters, sweeteners, proteins, seeds, crunches, and produce) were available. This restaurant would be a great choice for people who want vegan, gluten-free foods. I visited this restaurant one time. The two employees' service was friendly but very slow, which was probably due to one employee being trained. I rate the Island Glow bottled juice as 3 stars. It contained orange, pineapple, and coconut but tasted mostly like ginger. I rate the Pink Dragon bowl as 5 stars. It had a pitaya base, and it also contained granola, strawberries, pineapple, coconut, hemp, and my choice of drizzle, which was honey. I greatly enjoyed the sweet flavors, and I would order this bowl again.

My frittata was excellent. Stuffed with spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes and a nice side salad. I was most impressed by the kid's menu. It wasn't a sugar overload; it was good, whole foods. My daughter devoured her eggs, seasoned potatoes (I was fighting her for them-- rosemary potatoes were amazing!), and her toast. Excellent service, and any restaurant that gives you a piece of delectable crumb cake when you sit down is 5 stars!

My husband and I ate one lunch here. We had no reservation, and we wore casual clothes. Our hostess/waitress served us well, although perhaps they could have lowered the window blinds for us. I ate the Portabella Mushroom Ravioli (4.5 stars). Several large raviolis contained mushrooms and were covered in tomatoes, basil, and a rich parmesan sauce. My husband ate the Chicken Parmesan (4.5 stars). Two large pieces of chicken were covered in a crispy breading, marinara, and three cheeses. On the side was an arugula salad. It was a generous serving size, so he had leftovers to eat at home later. At the end of the meal, our waitress gave us two free mint chocolates. My husband commented that this restaurant is decent for being in a department store. The total price for our two entrees and one soda was $48 plus tax and tip.
