Tropical Smoothie Cafe (which I will shorthand to Tropical Smoothie) has always been promoted as a…read morehealthy yet delicious alternative to most fast food for as long as I have eaten there. Case and point: almost every major gym had a Tropical Smoothie nearby. These days, Tropical Smoothie is no longer the powerhouse they used to be. However, at times, I stop by and find their selection nostagically delicious. As for this particular location? It has "fallen from grace" from the first times I been here, but overall, they are not bad. But on the other hand, there are better Tropical Smoothies out there. This Tropical Smoothie is located on Babcock St., south of Hibiscus Blvd. and north of US-192. Remember what I said about gyms always nearby Tropical Smoothies? Fitness Society and Club 4 Gym is nearby. Getting into the parking lot for Tropical Smoothie is not hard. Easier to make the right turn in for sure, but there is a left-turn lane in the center of Babcock St. Just respect the right-of-way and you're golden. Inside, the biggest take-away I found was how minimalistic the decor was. It is no longer the vibrant beach theme it used to have. Instead, we get simple tables and chairs and certain painted walls. No pictures, no fake plants, nothing. However, the addition of online ordering might be where most of their business is now. There was a line and it seemed as if there were only two people working that day. Ergo, service was kind, but slow. This was probably the most glaring issue I came across, but I do not want to dunk on the workers. They were great. However, businesses seem to not know how to keep up with the times. Restaurants, in general, are having a hard time keeping staff. I ordered one of their protein smoothies as I am a protein hog, and the classic PB & J with banana flatbread. Both were delicious and maybe it was me, but the prices see adequate for inflation. Nothing too expensive actually. Overall, not a bad visit, but I remember the heyday and this is not what it was. I will say my visit was average and the food is still good for what it is. However, I did check macros and just like back then, I stopped drinking too many of their smoothies because the sugar content is quite high. Whenever I go to church on Sundays, I may make the stop to get more flatbreads and a smoothie every now and then. I will have to see if they have a sugar-free option with Stevia sweeteners. If they do, they'll definitely get that boost.

This location is severely understaffed. Not only do they have orders to take in person, they have…read morephone orders, online orders, and orders through a third party. Online orders stare they will be ready in 10 minutes but that is not the case when it is busy. Their online system should account for this and not always give the same time for every order. During the lunch hours it can get ridiculous. I would recommend ordering online 20-30 minutes before you would like to pick up. There is seating inside, cubby squares to put up online orders that you look for your name on the receipt and take yourself. The ambience is casual and noise level is average. Their straws for me are very difficult to open, maybe I haven't figured out the technique. The food I have tried is pretty good and they even have kids sizes. Some of the smoothies are high in sugar so don't think their smoothies are all healthy. I believe the quality of service would greatly improve if this location could be staffed with more employees or they need to get rid of phone/online orders (I would greatly miss this gesture) if they cannot staff it well enough to keep up. I witness an employee almost have a meltdown during the rush one day.

Plenty of seating and the area near the counter seems to be a bit cooler. An extensive menu with plenty of choices. I settled on the T Street wrap which was chicken salad in a spinach tortilla with carrots spinach and avocado. Flavor was pretty good and plenty of crunch from the carrots. The chicken salad was a tad dry for me so next time I will ask for extra mayo to add in. It came with tortilla chips (from a bag I would imagine and they tasted like it) and some of their homemade beet hummus. A hard pass next time. Not my thing apparently. Also it says it comes with tomato. Missing on my wrap. Just noticed reviewing the menu. That may have helped with the dryness. They had a cooler that had drinks in it, but the bottle of tea I grabbed was warm. They also have a thing of water you can help yourself to. But it could have used some ice. It was room temp. But free. Busy cafe and they were pumping out the food and drinks. Coffee drinks appeared to be very popular from my vantage point. Gonna have to give it a go again and try a bowl. Normally I would have only done three stars but the staff was very friendly and smiled when they brought my food to me, extra star for the vibe.

I usually…read moredefault to Tropical Smoothie because they offer protein add‑ins, but their reviews weren't looking great lately, so I gave this spot a try -- and it ended up being the better choice. Every smoothie here already comes with protein, and you can stack on extras like greens, collagen, or creatine. I went with a large PB & Banana and added greens, and it was honestly one of the best smoothies I've had in a while. Super flavorful, not overly sweet, and you can taste the quality. They also serve coffee, espresso, and some really tempting muffins. I only tried the smoothie today, but I'm already planning to come back for the coffee and a muffin next time. The shop is tucked into a small strip mall, but parking was easy. Inside, it's clean, organized, and has a calm vibe. The woman behind the counter was incredibly kind and knowledgeable -- the kind of customer service that makes you want to return. If you're someone who works out nearby or just wants a healthier smoothie option that doesn't sacrifice taste, this place is a gem. Prices are affordable too, which is always a win.

We picked this place because we could get breakfast and a latte in one stop. Ordered the Veggie…read moreBreakfast Bowl with tofu instead of egg, sweet potatoes as the base and vegan siracha mayo. The bowl was tasty but saddle the sweet potato were soft and mushy rather than crispy. With the soft tofu, plantain, tomato, and avocado it was a lost opportunity for texture to have them be crisp. My husband said of roasted potatoes was also soft and mushy so I think there is just a timing issues rushing the potatoes for the first guest of the day. I'd still order it again. - Knowing we would be in the middle of nowhere without a vegan option on our drive home, I ordered the Veggie sandwich with added tofu to pack for a lunch later. It was delicious but probably even better hot and fresh rather than chilled.

I ordered the "Kahili" Rainbow Bowl and my husband had the biscuit sliders with delicious tiki bacon!!! Both dishes were flavorful and absolutely delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portions were generous without being overwhelming. You could tell care went into the preparation and presentation. We both ordered the Frothy Coffee, which ended up being one of our favorite parts of the meal. It was such a unique and fun touch and made the whole breakfast feel a little more special. It was delicious and different from your typical coffee drink. Everything from the food to the service made this a memorable stop during our trip. We enjoyed it so much that we're already hoping to come back again before we fly home. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Melbourne and looking for a delicious breakfast with great service.

The place is built so you can sit inside a shaded area, even though it is outside, and it's most likely a fun place to bring the kids.

The prices are what you get for on the beach ice cream, but... we could not finish our ice creams due to it being frozen in the center, so.. we threw ours out. As far as where to bring some kids to keep them entertained, why not? But.. not for us.
