Just found this place, it's definitely a gem. The smoothies are amazing - even the kale one. How…read moreyou can make a kale smoothie a delicious treat with nothing artificial and no freaking sugar is an amazement to me. The Cuban sandwich is fantastic, even on gluten-free bread instead of the traditional ciabatta roll which I'm sure would have been even better. The have an excellent selection of organic and natural foods, with specific items that you actually can't get at other places in town. All that wrapped up into the vibe of the small town deli/market makes for a very relaxing stop.

It was large and almost overfilling for just a sandwich, but the size of it kind of justified the price. They didn't skimp on the pesto. I kind of wanted to buy something else from the store, but a lot there was expensive so I passed. The store and the bathrooms were clean and pleasant.

Was staying right above the place while visiting and went for a quick lunch. I got a custom banana…read morebowl with granola, banana, strawberry, blueberries and nutella. The bowls are pretty dense, and they do not skip on the toppings. It was quite a refreshing meal. I was happy with the quality and quantity of food for what I paid. The staff was helpful to ensure us they could support our allergens which i really appreciated.

So I think it would be pretty obvious by looking at me, that this would not be my ideal place to…read moreeat. And you would be correct. Not that I don't enjoy healthy food, I just want as much food as possible and in as much quantity as possible. But, sometimes when you're traveling with other people, you have to give in to other options. That being said, I'm glad I was able to find something enjoyable. Which would have been difficult because there were so many choices to be made. I could come back three times a day for fifteen years and try sketching new each time. I could also be lying. But seriously. Choice variety 10/10. My choice bowl was a kale/banana/pineapple/coconut milk base (green bowl), with sliced bananas, blueberries, granola, and hemp seeds. I like fruity/citrusy/juicy fruits, so this sounded the best. I had zero expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The decision to mix it all together was probably a good one and I ended up eating it all like a weird green bowl banana blueberry cereal. It was a little less fruity than I expected, but still had solid flavor. Taste level 7/10. Because I'm a gluttonous hound, I also thought it would be fun to get a smoothie to add to my already expanding gut. I chose the kowabunga with included banana, blueberry, pineapple, and coconut milk. I expected it to sweeter than it actually was. Though I expect all my foods to be sweet. Flavor profile 6/10. The atmosphere was pretty much par for the course for an establishment like this. Nice open area, waiting chairs, dine in. Several people waiting for to-go orders. The service wasn't terrible. Two workers running the show. That could very well have been the reason there was such a wait on our food. Though I can't imagine putting all the things we ordered together was a speedy situation. Service speed 6/10. Service accuracy 10/10. The three stars ultimately came from the flavors of the items I got not meeting my flavors criteria. And as a certified Chunky Monkey, I need my flavors.

Takeout/Delivery review…read more I've now ordered delivery 4 times from Tropical Smoothie cafe. It's been great and speedy every time! For food, I've gotten their Thai chicken wrap, club sandwich, and their breakfast "All American" wrap. The only one a little disappointing was the breakfast wrap as I wish it was filled more but was still tasty. Smoothies are so good and a good size (24 oz). I've been trying the superfood ones. I like that they let you adjust the turbinado level. Overall, would highly recommend.

As an obnoxious California Bay Area coffee snob, I was blown away by this place. Really, really,…read morereally good coffee with friendly service and a cute little shop in the heart of downtown TC. As a testament to this place's service, we were actually recommended this place as a place to use the bathroom without needing to pay by a worker at a clothing store across the street. But, we smelled the delicious coffee beans and saw that they roasted their own beans in the back of the store and decided to try it. My gf said the mocha here is better than at Cat and Cloud in Santa Cruz (extremely high praise, formerly her favorite). I agreed, even as a person who prefers a latte or a cup of drip. Really smooth and creamy chocolate without the usual mocha grittiness/graininess, with a great roasty coffee flavor to balance it out. The craziest thing is C&C (or any Bay Area/NorCal coffee shop) will charge you $7-8 for a mocha. This place was less than $5! Amazing deal for some high quality, house roasted coffee.
