I had a small PB&J smoothie bowl, Golden Butter Curry Bowl, and a Chai Latte; my buddy had a smoothie bowl, Buffalo Tofu Wrap, and a fresh pressed apple juice that was a lovely light chartreuse color. He then topped off with a Blueberry Poptart and a coffee. Yummers! We were going to eat on the nice covered patio but the thunderstorm moved in and the rain was lashing in so we ate inside comfortably situated watching the light show outside. After eating we shopped for supplies in the attached natural grocery then headed home in the sunshine.

This cafe is attached to a health food store. It is not open too late, but it fit my needs well. I…read moreordered a salad based on classic flavors of sundried tomatoes, pesto, and goat cheese, and boy they sure did not skimp on any of those things. The result was robustly flavored and fit my need for an early meal. The location is part of a mixed residential and retail complex that was a bit odd to navigate. They also had a bunch of smoothies and such, and I noted one customer who actually asked for the non-dairy nut milk to be replaced with dairy milk. I found it amusing that we've gotten to a point where someone ordering food has to explain that they're not a vegan. If you are avoiding dairy, however, there's plenty for you here, and I could not expect a small place in a town like this to fill its niche much better.

In all honesty, the base in the Lynchburg smoothie bowl was hard and icey instead of being the creamy consistency of a smoothie hence the name "smoothie bowl."

I didn't know my love for Palmera House could grow even more, but after renting their space for a…read moresurprise birthday party for my boyfriend, my heart grew 3 times bigger. On a normal day I'd go in with my bestie, we'd order smoothies or a smoothie bowl (my fav), & enjoy the greenery & finely decorated ambience. The love & thought poured in Palmera House is visually evident, a true reflection of the designer/owner's essence. Owner, Erica, made booking this space a no-brainer for me. She responded to my inquiry form the same day I sent it & by the end of the day we had a contract in the works. She promptly answered all of my questions, soothed all of my doubts, &, when the original bartender could no longer make the event, she & her husband stepped in to help serve us at the party. Your perspective of a place changes when you become more familiar with the people running it & in this case I've become even more inclined to support this business. Thank you Palmera House!! P.S. they've recently expanded their menu & while you wait for your food you can walk around the adorable plant store that's attached!

She consistently creates an inviting, positive experience for both customers and staff. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication are evident every time she is on shift. During the brief period when Keri was out, the overall atmosphere noticeably changed. Customer service declined, and the drive‑thru was closed, which was disappointing. The individual covering her role did not demonstrate the same level of customer‑focused leadership that Keri brings daily. Keri is truly exceptional. Having worked in multiple fast‑food environments and management positions myself, I can confidently say that she is a rare find. She is hardworking, caring, and naturally gifted in customer service. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is fortunate to have her, and she deserves recognition and continued opportunities within the company.
