Was hankering for chia bowl and a smoothie so I decided to place a deliver order and get a trifecta of a Chia bowl for breakfast, a smoothie for whenever, and a flatbread for lunch. FOOD: The Chia Oatmeal bowl was absolutely delicious with chia seeds, red quinoa, granola, coconut milk, and steel cut oats topped with Chobani plain Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, fresh sliced banana, chia seeds and honey drizzle. My only complaint and I feel it's a valid one is this is called a Chia bowl, but there was very little of the Chia pudding and the whole reason I ordered it was for the Chia pudding. But sadly it was more granola than anything else. Still very yummy but not what I was hoping for. For lunch, I ordered a chicken pesto flatbread with grilled chicken, tomatoes, shredded Parmesan mozzarella and pesto. I had not tried this one yet so decided to give it a whirl. It was good with moist chicken and the pesto was not overpowering. DRINKS: I got my usual Detox Island Green smoothie which consists of spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana and fresh ginger so it is naturally sweetened. And it is always delish and refreshing! 4/14/26 read more

Very fast service! Waited not even 5 minutes for a fresh smoothie and açaí bowl. I tried the berry tropiboba bowl and it was absolutely fabulous!! Will be getting it more often. The ingredients were fresh and not too sweet. The vibe of the atmosphere was okay. read more

They've got the worst customer service to ever exist. Never been treated so poorly. They called me fat and a pig and that I should never eat there ever again all because I asked if I can add an extra smoothie to my order. They rolled their eyes at me when I asked if they could make it for me. It's crazy how disrespectful they were to me especially the lady that knew more Spanish. SAD. I'd rather spend my money ar the dollar tree than eat there. Guys please don't go here even if it's the nearest to you. They need to watch their mouth. read more

Obviously the food is great, but this location has screwed up my orders twice now, not caring whether or not the delivery driver has the full order before leaving the store. Incomplete orders, nobody held accountable. Also, the phone number listed is wrong. They've lost my business. read more

Decent spot. The chicken meals are rather small for their price. Yes inflation is real, but one would expect a bit more filling. I like the variety of smoothies they have here. Also you can get a protein choice with them. My recommendation for bulking up and general health is the whey. Their smoothies are quite delicious. I haven't found one I don't like. The employees here are very friendly. This is a good spot for a first date. It is close and convenient to a lot in the area. Parking is usually fairly easy as well. The store itself is very clean and organized. read more

Every time I visit this location, the service is always prompt and everything is served really quickly and efficiently. They are also super friendly and professional :) Don't forget to utilize the mobile app to collect points, if you happen to frequent Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I usually will order a smoothie & wrap for myself, and then another smoothie & sandwich combo for my partner, so they have been consistently getting it done promptly. read more

Read caption. Uncooked chicken, none of the ingredients listed, two peices of chicken, bread is over cooked and very hard. I only had thirty minutes for lunch and Now my day is ruined. Hoping I'll get a refund because I'm going back as soon as I get offf. Please don't go here. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Chicken uncooked, none of the ingredients listed on the website, bread is hard and it's three pieces on here. I'm so disappointed - Sandwiches Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I found 3 fucking hair in the wrap I got ! As much as I do love the concept of their drink menu but they're suck at hiring good employees! This is my second bad experience with tropical smoothie cafe ! read more

Tropical smoothie is bae... I repeat, tropical smoothie is bae!!! I like this location because it close to my house and the parking is really easy. As a creature of habit I only get the Paradise Point and of course add ginger. If you've never ordered from Tropical Smoothie please know that you'll get your monies worth as the cups are humongous!!! I also had their Sunshine smoothie (with added ginger) last Summer when they were doing their donation drive for their camp. The food is also pretty delicious as well. I LOVE their salads and will sometimes get a smoothie and salad, save the salad for lunch as the smoothie seems to fill me up. Lastly be sure to check in prior to ordering because sometimes have additional discounts when checking in and they also have Yelp cash back offers. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - I didn't know they had all day breakfast - Sandwiches Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I ordered a smoothie and was very specific about what I wanted in it due to certain things upsetting my stomach. When I heard the next customer specify that she did not want sugar in hers, I made sure to confirm that they were not adding sugar to my smoothie. The cashier said they already made it with sugar. I nicely told her that I cannot drink it because it will upset my stomach and since I was specific on what I wanted and paid $10 for the smoothie I would appreciate them remaking it correctly. The cashier was extremely rude and mumbled under her breath I guess they're remaking it after arguing with me for a good 5 minutes and then dismissed me by yelling next . I didn't hear what she mumbled so I confirmed that they were remaking it. She then said that's what I just said and rolled her eyes. It's very disappointing that I had to argue with the cashier to get the correct smoothie that I paid for. I will not be coming here again. read more

Friendly people, efficient service, tasty food/drink (favorites are chicken pesto and Blueberry Bliss. And a nice rewards program -- spend money, earn rewards. Another bit that sets them apart is corporate customer service -- I had a minor issue with a reward, might have been that it expired during pandemic Folks at call center -- via call and email -- were perfect. Accessible and responsive, couldn't be better. All too rare. read more

Ok, I'm really glad we went with Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch instead of a different, larger sandwich chain. I ordered online, so I do not have any experience at the actual location. But the food we got was delivered really quickly, still warm, and tasted delicious. Co-workers and I all ended up ordering the same flatbread with a different smoothie. The Chicken Chipotle Flatbread was inhaled by all! I liked the little bit of kick from the chipotle mayo and didn't find any one ingredient overpowering or over-represented. A good mix of flavors and textures throughout the whole thing. The flatbread is more like pita bread, soft with some grill marks from getting toasted. I personally loved it and loved that it was folded in half for easy handling. We each got a different smoothie: Strawberry Beach, Pomegranate Plunge, and Sunny Do. The guy with the Sunny Do finished his first and let out an audible sigh when he was done. He liked it that much. I think it had mango and banana in it. My other co-worker stole my Pomegranate Plunge....so I'm still a bit bitter about that, but he seems to enjoy it. My unintentional Strawberry Beach smoothie tasted good. I was most surprised by the amount of smoothie we got! Smoothies were only $4.99 when added to a flatbread and this is like 24 oz of smoothie goodness! $6.99 on their own. I did not read the size on the menu when ordering and was truly surprised when they arrived! Overall, super happy with the food here and may order again this week. read more

Service 0/10 the cashier didn't notice I was at the counter because she was on her phone . I kid you not 5 seconds after I ordered my food it was done . I checked my sandwich and it was filled with raw bacon. I won't be returning to this location. read more

Located next to Starbucks and in the same shopping center as LIDL. I usually come here if I want to get something fast and to go. They have an app that helps too. I usually either get their sunrise sunset or kiwi quencher. They have options you can do for their smoothies such as supplements you can add or sugar substitutes. Their wraps are great too. The caesar wrap and Thai are my favorites. The chicken caprese was also delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

i've been here buying a Bahama mama for the last three months. The new cashier charged me for extra coconut when I asked for no pineapple. I was only in the shop for about five minutes they make a very good smoothie but the red Beard gentleman working behind the counter don't know if he's a manager or not. White his nose on his shirt because he ditched her something four times quite disgusting. Plus they charge me the $.99 over. Will not be coming back to this one. read more

Delicious and healthy smoothies made with fresh ingredients! Their smoothie menu consists of low-fat (fruits), nutritious (with veggies), energized/supercharged (workout), and indulgent (with chocolate, etc). They offer a wide variety of fruity goodness that cater to anybody's craving. There is also the option to add supplements such as protein, flaxseed, probiotic, etc. In addition they offer wraps, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast food options. Any of these can be made vegetarian. Great location, quick service, and clean environment with plenty of seating for a low-key, casual meal. My personal favorites are the Mango Magic and Acai Berry Boost with protein. I like to order smoothies that I normally don't make at home-- like a special treat to myself after Zumba! read more

Free birthday smoothie! Large one!! Lately I eat out a lot and feel chubbier, so I chose DETOX GREEN smoothie. Taste: Great! Ginger, kale, banana, ... I felt much better after I drank it. My heart burn was gone. Price: Many healthy things are under $10. Interior: Nothing special but clean. Staff: They are not that friendly but fast and patient with my indecisiveness. Parking lot: Lots of free spots right in front of it. Cheers! read more

If I could have a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie every day, I would never have a savings account! Therefore once a week is the going rate! So glad I have willpower! Let's see how long I can resist,counting 1-2-3! read more

If your diabetic do not drink smoothies from here. 100 grams of sugar per smoothie. Tastie but dangerous. Don't do it

A consistently inconsistent smoothie shop. I live right down the street and have been to this TSC three times so far in the past two years hoping their service and efficiency has improved and every single time I had to wait over 20 minutes for one smoothie. This time though, I decided to plan ahead and place a mobile order and once again, had to wait an additional twenty minutes after the order was supposed to be ready. After sitting in the shop waiting I noticed several things that raised red flags: 1) they had messed up 3 orders before mine 2) the workers who worked in the back wore gloves then came up to the register to take orders and handle money using the same gloves 3) some of the workers in the back did not wear any gloves 4) they had 3 smoothies that were discarded because the orders were given to the wrong customers 5) the chad asked me my name and name of the smoothie i ordered a whopping total of 4 times before receiving my smoothie 6) a majority of the employees in this shop look like kids (meaning i don't believe i saw a manager on duty) 7) never received an apology for waiting 20 minutes in the store and 35 minutes total for a smoothie (should have demanded a refund and walked out but i really wanted a darn smoothie). EDIT: My husband picked up a smoothie for myself and him because I am pregnant and desperately wanted a smoothie. All was good, except his wait time again, an additional 15 minutes after calling ahead 10 minutes... and my lovely orange ginger glow smoothie with surprise sticker that I sucked up from the straw from what I am guessing is the orange. read more

They really screwed up my order. I ordered and paid for one smoothie online. Wife came along and decided she wanted one too, but a different flavor. The cashier asked wife if she wanted protein (added) and she said yes. So she took that to mean she wanted two smoothies. She rang up three smoothies on the tab and I said we only want two smoothies and one was paid for online (that is, we only should be charged for one smoothie, not three). She showed me "Brad's" order for three smoothies. I said, I'm not Brad and we want two smoothies and already paid for one online. We went back and forth for 15 minutes with the cashier and the manager on duty. After about 10 minutes MY online order with receipt showed up on the counter. But they never got the order right. We ended up with two smoothies that were the same when wife ordered a different one. Very frustrating for such a simple request, just add one more smoothie to the one already ordered and paid for online. I will drive out of my way to other locations to avoid a repeat of this major FAIL. read more

Ordered food today, the door dash delivery person took my food from the location and kept it. No problem, I called to get a replacement. When they answered, I was cut off and handed off 2 separate times without any type of customer service and being asked to hold temporarily and such. I understand these are mostly young kids working there, so this type of behavior is simply from poor management. When I was finally given to a manager, I explained the situation, and I was told I could not get a replacement because they were too busy. Really? That's that? This type of service must be a result of the employee shortage and they chose from the bottom of the barrel. Some poor franchisee owns this location, and they are really hurting their ROI. read more

Every time I come to this TS, I always have a problem. Whether it's the system not taking cards, wrong order, or not having certain toppings. There's never a sign to let customers know in advance. Staff is very rude! It's always the Latin woman that work there that don't seem to give good customer service. I only encounter this location because I just happen to be in the area doing errands. This will be my last time coming here. I rather go out of my way to go to another one. read more

I'm giving this location 3 stars because the smoothies are very yummy. The employees are ready to take your order as soon as you walk in the door. This could be due to them trying to move customers in and out as fast as possible, because they are always busy! (Im not complaining, this is a good thing) They don't suggest items, but you are free to sample the smoothie flavors before you purchase. + The atmosphere is clean. One restroom, but it was decent. Im pleased with this establishment. read more

First let me say that I love tropical smoothie BUT this location usually messes up my order, has poor customer service and the food doesn't even taste as fresh as the location in Dunn Lorring. Online orders here are also super slow! Sandwiches/wraps are sloppily put together as well. I do not recommend this location however it's the closest one to my house unfortunately. read more

The smoothies and food are good but once you give them your contact info you receive a steady stream of marketing pop ups with no way to opt out. read more

This location like any other has been excellent smoothies, flatbreads, etc. The cashiers are generally nice, and they are usually relatively fast although I had to wait more than 10 minutes on one or two occasions. The one issue I had with this location was that they wouldn't give me a side item with my flatbread, sandwich, etc. because I had a discount. The side item always comes with the sandwich, and they shouldn't not let you have just because you have a discount on the Trop Smoothie app or coupon. read more

Great spot for a quick and healthy meal. I would highly recommend coming back. Did a takeout order and it was super simple

Have you ever believed in love at first sip? I do now, after hearing so many good things about Tropical Smoothie and finally having the chance to try it out. There are three categories of smoothies: Low-fat, supercharged, (with different boosts like acai, vitamins, etc.) and indulgent, (AKA fattening but oh-so-delicious!) which all come in 24 oz. Along with smoothies, there's food such as wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, and breakfast foods. There's also a kids menu with their own smoothies and food. I ordered the Paradise Point, and my boyfriend ordered the Bahama Mama. The Paradise Point was simply refreshing, and the Bahama Mama had a hint of white chocolate that made it taste similar to a pina colada. I can't wait to come back to try a different flavor! read more

Very inconsistent service at this location. Ordered an island green and what I got was a drink that was extremely watered down and NOT a smoothie texture at all. It was more of a juice that lacked any sweetness of the island green smoothie I am used to getting. I asked for them to fix their mistake since I was paying good money for it and what they did was just add more ice which made it taste EVEN MORE watered down than it was before!!!!! The JUICE (not smoothie) went to the trash and so did my money. Either let them know before you order to make it thick or just avoid!!! These people do not know how to make a proper smoothie read more
