I liked Colombo's Smoothies.....for the most part. It's pretty much a secluded little "mom and pop" stand located right at the junction of the main roads - North Shore Rd. and Centerline Rd. - that navigate throughout the island of Virgin Islands National Park. For me...yeah, it was quite refreshing to have a frozen drink after venturing around fantastic Hawksnest, Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay beaches along with stopping at various overlooks to appreciate how blue the waters were around the island of St. John. Btw....if you are unsure exactly how to arrive at Colombo's, no worries....since there is fine cell phone reception located all among the island, simply plug Colombo's Smoothies into Google Maps and you'll have pinpoint directions on how to find this place. When I arrived, it was sort of situated right off the side of the road on a sloped hill. I'll admit...I had some difficulty maneuvering my car and parking along the small and tight shoulder of the road. But alas, I was able to do it. Colombo's was busy when I came in early afternoon around 2pm. I guess....it's a good spot to grab a midday refreshment as it was early enough not to spoil people's appetites before dinner. I waited about 15 minutes in line before I could order. I did notice it was just 1 lady behind the stand doing everything. And of course, tourists were in line ordering like - 4 drinks for their entire families (very annoying). Still, the lady moved things quickly along. While waiting, there was a menu for me to look the choices over. On one side of the menu was Fruity Drinks. Some options included....Berry Blast, Tart n' Tasty, Island Dream, Coconut, Strawberry/Banana, Mango and Lime-in-de-Coconut. For these selections, they all came in one standard size and prices ranged between $8 and $9....obviously....with just enough change to leave for a tip. On the backside of the menu was Chocolate Lovers Options, Specialty Drinks and Organic Cold Brew Coffees. Just to name a few.....Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Cookies n' Cream, Funky Monkey, Pineapple Sunset and Iced Coffee Mocha and Vanilla Latte's. And again...prices were the same about $8 - $9ish. For me, I went with a Pina Colada for $8.50. The lady asked if I wanted rum inside the drink and I responded...."um, I guess however you normally make it!?" I mean, not sure if she was trying to upsell me on the rum? The whole exchange was a little awkward. But, after spending $17 on a daiquiri at Mountain Top, I was just okay with whatever drink I received for the $8.50. After my order was taken, I waited only a few minutes for the Pina Colada to be prepared. There were a few benches, tables and chairs to sit down on and relax. It was pleasant just taking it easy and this little stand was situated among the lush green vegetation and forest of St. John. Overall, the Pina Colada was good. Honestly, I'm not even sure if there was rum inside the drink. I guess I was thrown off by her questioning me if I wanted it included. Though I didn't see any option on the menu for an upcharge to have rum added. Regardless, the drink was tasty and refreshing. I slurped the whole thing down in a few minutes, lol. And while enjoying the Pina Colada....wow, the line at the stand got very long! I guess I was fortunate to have arrived when I did as my 15 minute wait was a "walk in the park" compared to how busy it became. But I can understand why Colombo's could be so popular. Because....once you venture into the heart of Virgin Islands National Park.....there's not much offered around other than what's featured among the main beaches. For those folks driving and exploring St. John....this tiny refreshment stand would be the ideal break to cool off from the heat, sun and humidity. Finally, although Colombo's could have used another employee to help speed things along, the wait was worth it as my Pina Colada was a thirst quenching midday beverage. And it was nice to sit down and appreciate a drink after witnessing some stunningly beautiful beaches. I recommend Colombo's, especially for it's location. Just be prepared as depending on the time of day you stop here.....they could be very busy. read more

super yummy and refreshing smoothies freshly made only from 830am-245pm. Perfect for before or during a long day of island adventures. We got the Coral Bag (peanut butter, banana honey, and milk) and Love City Fresh (kale, pineapple, bananas, coconut and coconut milk - one of the most popular!). Remember no plastic straws on the island - bring your reusable one or they offer a paper one. read more

This place used to be the best smoothie spot on the island. Unfortunately she sold the spot and it is not the same. Service is poor. The new owner is rude and abrasive, lacking in costumer service. The smoothie's are lackluster at best. Too watered down with milk. The food closes at 2pm, but you won't find that labeled anywhere. read more

Okay, average if not disappointed in both the service and smoothies. Maybe it isn't to my liking but the smoothies were mixed with yogurt so we weren't able to taste the fruit that well. The worker also didn't greet us, and kind of just looked at us, we had to say hi first. Check out Ekaete's Pink Corner for smoothies instead! The owner stated she goes out and picks seasonal fruits to make a fruit base. Her smoothies really hit the spot. read more

Stopped by here for smoothies twice, and they definitely did the trick for a cool sweet treat after a long hot day on the north side beaches, but can't say they're my favorite smoothies on the island. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but the location is super convenient if you're passing by and need a quick cool drink. read more

I stayed at a villa on Ajax Hill and ate breakfast and lunch here almost everyday. Plus lots of snacks for the beach. My order was not always correct, which was kind of funny(I think she couldn't understand me with the mask,) but honestly everything was sooooo good! I truly love this place so much! My favorites were the cold brew iced coffee, iced mocha, Nutella peanut butter banana sandwich, ALL of the smoothies, caprese sandwich with French fries. You can't go wrong here and most mornings they were playing Led Zeppelin radio which I also loved. Fuel for the beach or hiking or exploring St. John. read more

Fresh eggs, bacon and bread. Very simple breakfast sandwich but not very big, so don't expect to get full of of it alone if you are a big eater. The service was fast and lady behind the counter was really nice. Would recommend the place if you are driving by and looking for a quick bite read more

Cash only! They just opened back up about 2 weeks ago. We were heading back to our villa in Coral Bay from the North Shore beaches and my husband was grumpy hungry when this awesome place magically appeared where you make that super sharp turn off 20 to 10. KJ is the lady behind the counter and we had a great conversation. She was very nice and easy to talk to. She made me a PB and chocolate shake with a free shot of rum, oh my goodness that is some good stuff right there! My husband had a dessert in a glass which was chocolate ice cream, PB, and Oreos also with a free shot of rum. There were so many fruit smoothie choices that looked amazing. No coffee ones right now but she expects very soon, as the coffee is a slow filter drip (um yum!!). It was $17 for two 'rummed up' milkshakes that were exactly what we needed after spending all day at the beach and still hours before dinner. read more

Have to concur with review from nine days ago. This establishment is ripping off customers for food. Smoothies were very good. Four wraps with no sides plus two smoothies and a Diet Coke. No prices posted. Used a card to pay and the attendant offers you the tip screen to choose a tip starting at 18%. $121 dollars for 4 small (but tasty) chicken wraps and three drinks is an outrageous ripoff! Almost double the full lunch for four people in sit down restaurants (lunch) in coral bay or Cruz bay. Yes, food is expensive here for obvious reasons but I know a rip-off when it happens to me. Very disappointed to be fleeced. Most everyone here are so nice and honest. read more

Stop here! Smoothies are delicious and filling! Fresh ingredients and unique recipes - thank you!! I got the Island Dream which was so good read more

One of the best smoothies we've had! Got the Cruz bay and the love city. Both were fantastic! Very friendly staff as well! Heard there was a recent change in staff/ownership read more

What better way to finish a hot day a the beach or exploring Saint John than with a cold smoothie. Lots of local flavors. (try the soursop). Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. No, I do not know why. Actual location is the intersection of Centerline (route 10) and North Shore Road (Route 20) - top of the hill read more

Avoid. Prices are not listed on the menu and they will up charge you severely if they feel they can take advantage. Asked for itemized receipt and they wouldn't give it to us. Additionally, added 15% gratuity to our bill with 0 disclosure or it written/mentioned anywhere, which I believe is not legal. Somehow 4 sandwiches and 2 smoothies were $120+. Complete scam and terrible service. read more

Probably one of the worst places on the island. Terrible service and no regard for the customer whatsoever. The workers treat the customers like a huge inconvenience. We ordered 4 sandwiches and 2 smoothies and the total came out to over $120 because they charged us wrong. They also got our orders wrong and the smoothies were dreadful. They ask you to tip when they already added a 15% gratuity for absolute terrible service. They also do not put the prices anywhere on the menu. Huge scam. Would not recommend to anyone with common sense. read more

We are so happy we stumbled across this eating establishment!! We LOVED it!! I ordered the tomato/mozzarella grilled cheese & the Cruz Bay berry smoothie. Yum, yum & yum!! I loved grilled cheese sandwiches & this one was extra special because he grilled both sides of the bread. It was hogie style, which I liked. It came with pickled jalapeños. I loved the yogurt in the smoothie. The description of each smoothie is clear. The smoothie was fresh & tasty. Don't pass up this place if you liked grilled cheese & smoothies. read more

Perfect breakfast spot each day of our stay! We especially loved a bacon egg and cheese with spicy bacon on an everything bagel. Smoothies are frothy and refreshing. Coffee is 10/10. Prepare for a long wait and parking is tricky, but totally worth it. Staff is super friendly. A great place to stop close to Maho Bay! read more

This is probably one of the best smoothies I tasted. The service was awesome and the flavors full. Hands down recommend this little spot don't just drive by. read more

Extremely rude lady serving drinks. Horrible customer service to everyone. Seemed like everyone was bothering her!

The old Colombo's is gone and these people definitely aren't the same. No more little smoothies with a dash of rum to your liking. Now you have to order a huge expensive smoothie that tastes like yogurt. My kids said theirs were okay, but maybe had 5 sips. And for the price they should not just be okay. And the owner was borderline rude- definitely not nice. She snapped when we asked about rum and said "it's healthier now" ... but looking at the menu I saw a captain crunch coated, deep fried French toast.... ha! Pretty funny. Such a bummer though! This this was the closest little snack/treat place to our house, and was such a favorite tradition to stop by for a little run smoothie on our way to or from the beach! read more

Our family of five really enjoyed this stand. Good variety of flavors, that includes local fruit. Nice place to stop especially after the Reef Bay hike. Staff is easy going, and we had fun talking with the locals while sitting here. They also carry some local items that you can take home. We would have stopped more than twice, but they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Maybe that will change in the future, at least we hope so. read more

After baking in the sun we were driving around and came across the opportunity for some refreshing smoothies. We all grabbed one. 2 strawberry, one mango and one chocolate. The rum shot was nice. Relaxing place to sit for a few. Really enjoyed it. read more

Free Rum in your smoothie... need I say more?! My family of 6 all enjoyed the smoothies- very tasty with a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view. CASH ONLY though.... read more

Had the steak and Gouda grilled cheese. Sadly it was too dry with little too no flavor. Also ordered the fig, bacon and brie grilled cheese- that one was delicious with a unique flavor! read more

Waste of time and money. Waited a half hour for our smoothies (not very crowded, no one else was being served...they said everything was premixed so who knows what they were doing?). Finally we got our.smoothies and they were warm and completely liquid. read more

Looks like a nice little stop after a day at the beach or hiking. The woman working there was sort of rude on our 1st stop. The smoothies with free rum (not sure she even added rum) were ok. The attitude was something we could ignore, maybe it was just a bad day for her. On our 2nd (and last ) stop two days later the attitude was still there as soon as we stepped up to place our order. She truly acts like your business is a huge inconvenience. read more

the women working here is psychotic. actually. DO NOT GO HERE. the smoothies are expensive ($8-$9) and the woman working actually refused to serve my family and I. this was shocking, upsetting, and infuriating. whilst slurring her words (perhaps intoxicated?), she refused to take our order and claimed she "needed a break" and told us that we "needed to leave right now". go to Our Market smoothies in town by Cruz Bay (smoothies are $5 and the people are great, I PROMISE) read more

Smoothies are incredible on the weekends. A little watered down ( too much ice not enough fruit) on the weekdays. The middle school teacher on the weekends is incredible, funny and makes awesome smoothies read more

Would give the Smoothie 5 stars; it was that good. The negative - and it's significant - is that the woman who runs the stand is incredibly rude and abrasive. Complaining about how busy she was and snapping at people in line. Cost her $20 because our party of 4 only ended up getting 2 rather than 4 because she was so horrible and we couldn't wait to get away from her read more

A great little roadside stop. We've been by several times and the smoothies had been really good every time. Try the Island Dream.

Unfortunately, my family and I couldn't even try the smoothies due to the incredibly rude service. The woman at the front told us we had to wear cover ups over our swimsuits and that people didn't wear that on St John (a phrase I've never heard- on this island no one cares how minimally clothed you are). Then they told us they were swamped with customers and just needed a break, instructing us to wait on the porch by the smelly portapotties. After about 10 minutes, we politely asked if they were ready to take our order, to which they replied rudely they weren't. I'm sure the smoothies are good, but however the service is far from it. read more

This was a great break from the beach. The service was great and the smoothies were even better. Very friendly and an amazing view.

One of the best smoothies I've had. All of the flavors are good but my favorite is the berry blast.

What can you say, free rum with every smoothie? Smoothies were delicious. Definitely worth the stop if you are on your way home from a day at the beach. read more

We just finished with our second visit while on the island. I can not say enough about the rudeness of the women behind the counter. They lost our order not once but twice. We waited while they yelled at each other from behind the bar so everyone within ear shot could hear. We actually watched the nicer of the two women quit and walk away while telling us to enjoy our smoothies!!! A truly horrible experience! read more

The smoothies are good but expensive at $8 or $9. In Cruz Bay you can get them for $5 at our fav place Our Market and Our Smoothie Market too. read more
