I am out visiting Barstow for work and was pleasantly surprised by this place. The serving size was…read moremore than enough, but WOW talk about taste! I got the banana macadamia protein shake and was blown away. Normally I feel that protein shakes either get that telltale, chalky kind of flavor or are waaaay over-sweetened to hide the taste. But this shake was delicious, the perfect balance of sweetness with the banana and nutty flavor and a hint of cinnamon. It also uses plant protein which is a huge win since I have a whey allergy. Service was quick and friendly, and the big windows and board games give this space a bright and friendly feeling. Very pleased with my purchase, highly recommend.

I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get their supps for a reasonable price.

Had a great first experience this afternoon :)…read more We tried the flamingo bowl - it was delicious but I agree with other reviews that the base is "watery" compared to other açaí/smoothie bowl places where the bases are thick & stay frozen longer. A small bummer was that the mango fruit toppings came frozen, but I loved the bee pollen & shredded coconut! The server was very kind & helpful, too. Lots of menu options, as well, so I like the variety. Ambiance - there's a sign by the register that encourages customers to take their orders to-go & the available seating is for customers waiting for their order since they don't offer "table service." There's outdoor seating but it's limited (2 tables) & not that pleasant (somewhat dirty). I'm hoping to go back to try the juices in the future

I LOVE THIS PLACE! My friend recommended it to me and so glad he did…read more Food: I got the Krakatoa and got extra spicy sauce. It was really good. The poke was fresh. It was a stacked bowl. I asked for extra crunchy chips and they gave me a whole bowl of it. I will definitely come back. I want to try the other flavor bowls. (For the record, you can't compare this to Hawaii poke or Orange County. Let's be real here. It's Big Bear..and there's not that many bomb places to eat, most are mediocre, so with that being said, Tropicali was bomb!) Service: A1. The workers there are so awesome. So friendly and welcoming. Very chill, fun, kind vibes. Every single one of them. And also very attentive. Walked by me while I was eating several times to make sure everything was okay. They brightened up my mood and set the tone for my day. Ambience: super cool and hip. The entrance has a cool huge shark where you enter in through the mouth. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I would usually sit outside but it was really hot during lunch time when I went. And the inside decor looked so cool so I just wanted to stay inside and sat at the bar top which faces the outside patio. If you sit at the patio you can see the lake view from afar too. Everything about this place was amazing. I think this is the best food spot in all of Big Bear. I will 1000% come back & recommend Tropicali to my friends.

FINALLY! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO REVIEW YOU GUYS FOR MONTHS!…read more NOW THAT I'VE GOT YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU... i'd like to leave a 5 star review. :) Tropicali is the best thing to happen to Big Bear. The food, service, and atmosphere is all top tier. I have tried: the Pele bowl (FAV), Krakatoa bowl (Great), Kraken bowl (other FAV), Island Style Coco Mac Nut Cold Brew (Tasty), Why Tiki cocktail (YUM), Baja Bubbles cocktail (When you want something not sweet), and one of the waffles I dont remember the name (not for me). On my last visit, I accidentally spilled half of my Why Tiki drink all over the table and the staff was quick to clean and even remade me a new beverage. They were all smiles while doing so too. Everyone I've interacted with at Tropicali is so awesome! The food and drinks are always super fresh and delicious and the place does feel like you stepped into a tiki wonderland... They have the coolest decor! Anytime I'm in Big Bear, Tropicali is a must stop!

I hate to write this, but my first time there will be the last. I ordered the Orange Chicken Rice…read moreBowl and asked if I could have fried rice instead of steamed rice. No, I could place a second order to get the fried rice. Ok, whatever, I'll take the steamed rice. The Orange Chicken was like rubber. I tried to bite a piece in half and it wouldn't pull apart, so the whole piece went in my mouth and I had to use my fingers to pull it apart which was embarrassing on a first date! It didn't taste good either. I looked for a knife in the plastic silverware, but there was none. I then went for a bite of the rice and it was so stuck together that I really had to jam my fork into it. It had no flavor at all and I was not offered any kind of sauce for it. I got some salt, but it didn't help. It had obviously been in a cup and turned over on a plate (there was no bowl) so I don't see why they couldn't have substituted the fried rice. The carrots were rubbery too. The only thing half way good was the broccoli. I opted for water to drink because I couldn't see paying over $6 for flavored ice tea. I didn't want my date to feel bad for buying me such a horrible meal, so I managed to get a couple of bites down. He asked if I wanted a box. No, but I said yes, again not wanting him to feel bad. I tried the Orange Chicken again when I got home, using my paring knife, and it was still so bad that I threw the whole thing away. There were only 6-8 people in the place, but it was so noisy that I had to keep asking my date to repeat what he said because I couldn't hear him. I was looking forward to a new place to eat and the online menu looked so great... How sad.

I love this place! Have been twice in the last two weeks. The first visit I had shrimp fried rice…read moreand crunchy tofu. Both were great! I normally do not like fried or grilled tofu but this was different. Nice crunch on the outside and super creamy on the inside. They have a pink sauce in little packets and it is really good on the crunchy tofu. Not too sweet and just the right flavor. I also had a mango green tea with Boba. Of course it was delicious just the right amount of mango but it was sweet. The second time I visited I tried the shrimp chow mein and the crunchy tofu again and I tried peach black tea with Boba. The tea was delicious and sweet but really nice. I'm not sure how you could make that horrible. The shrimp chow mein was just OK to me. The noodles seemed gummy and I'm not used to that. We also had the sautéed gyoza. The first batch came out burnt, but they were very nice and very accommodating when we brought them back and they brought us another order that was perfect and delicious. By the way we ordered vegetarian Gyoza and it was surprisingly good. I have also had the Ramen at this restaurant and it is also excellent . Many choices and they're really good about cooking what you need. This is not a fancy place but the food is great and the girls at the order desk are really sweet!

I waited approximately 15 minutes for a single juice, and during that time my order had not even…read morebeen started, despite there being only one other customer in the restaurant. One employee appeared to be focused on tidying and cleaning rather than preparing customer orders, and another was brushing her teeth in the kitchen area, which I found extremely unprofessional and off-putting. The overall experience felt disorganized and inconsiderate of customers' time. Due to the unnecessary delay and the lack of professionalism, I ultimately canceled my order and requested a refund. Very disappointing experience. Edit in response to the owner: I don't believe it's rude to ask about my drink after waiting what felt like an unreasonable amount of time. I think most people would understand feeling frustrated by a long wait. That said, even if the wait time hadn't been an issue, seeing an employee brushing their teeth in the same area where food and drinks are prepared was extremely off-putting. I found it unhygienic and frankly unacceptable. That, combined with the poor service experience, is why I ultimately felt compelled to leave this review.
