Representing 2022, T is for Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I went to the Virginia Square location one time in March 2022. I had probably a pomegranate smoothie & wrap for lunch. Both were delicious. It was unseasonably warm that day, and I ate outside. It was highly unusual Arlington work travel as final part went fully online in September 2019, but I had a special task which required in person, the only time for Arlington work travel in 2020's to date. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is always a good choice for a quick delicious lunch (except for Burtonsville, MD location see my 1-star of them). read more

Solid meh. We ordered the acai bowl to start with. The acai is rock hard, and hard to scoop. They drizzle the acai bowl in honey so it's very sweet. If you like very sweet things, you will like the acai bowl. I also ordered the Blueberry bliss smoothie. It was over $8, large in size, and tasted like a mix of Smoothie King and Jamba Juice - slushy, icy, and sweet. Decent but nothing special. Will likely not return. read more

Sunday cruise included Tropical Smoothie. Customer service was on point. I was greeted as soon as I crossed the threshold. I ordered a detox smoothie with Splenda. Within three minutes, I was on my way and my smoothie tastes amazing. I have no complaints. I enjoy this location. It's around the corner from work and they always move pretty fast. Also, if you want to grab a quick bite and eat in, they have a small area As with any Smoothie place, the cost is a bit much for frozen fruit and water. But, that's the price you pay when you don't feel like doing the chopping at home. The offerings of smoothies, açai bowls and sandwiches are excellent options when you need a healthy and quick pick me up. Happy eating. read more

I love their acai bowls soooooo much! And their banana chia boost smoothie. I also tried the avocolado and it's my second favorite smoothie now. After 5pm everyday all their smoothies are $5. Definitely worth it. It's kind of small inside but still plenty of seating. Service is friendly and quick. read more

I don't care what anyone says the smoothies are the absolute best. Anything with pomegranate in it is going to be delicious and I really enjoyed the smoothie, as well as the wrap sandwiches. Great menu options and I enjoyed my experience. read more

Food: I ordered an açaí bowl. The bowl was good but it seemed to be a smaller portion (SUPER TINY) when compared to other places that specialize in bowls. The restaurant was clean and the staff were kind. 3.5/5 read more

Pros: long lasting good brand name and quality product. I've frequented here many years mainly in silver spring and have always been happy with the experience. Cons: on my last order with this company at this new site I received my drinks like this. I can't say what happened between the Grubhub driver and receiving the drinks but it was unacceptable. Also in the days of food tampering my bag was unsealed. Unacceptable. read more

Good smoothies and sandwiches! The cashier was friendly and helpful when I asked about the menu. I liked that it was very clean and they had hand sanitizer readily available. I'll definitely be back to try out more of the menu! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - destroyed food wrappers because the food was TOO BUSS - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The smoothies are good. Service is okay. Ordering ahead didn't seem to save any time. read more

This is right across from my apartment, so I'll stop in occasionally and treat myself to a peanut butter cup smoothie, which is really the only type of smoothie here worth treating yourself to. I tried the Beach Bum once - an alleged combination of chocolate and strawberries - but tasted zero chocolate. Calories wasted. Peanut butter cup is always a solid choice, though. It packs a massive sugar rush, so it would probably make a great pre-workout snack... but I wouldn't know, because if I'm having one, it's because I've already decided I don't care about anything that day, workouts included. read more

Tropical Smoothie is fine, maybe slightly better than fine. They seem to have perfected the microwave sandwich and kettle cooked chips are always a plus. But I'm not here to talk about the food. It's consistent and will always be consistent. I'm here to talk about the watermelon mojito. Get up right now and go get one. Then if you're not lazy like me, make one at home. The watermelon mojito smoothie is the best thing Tropical Smoothie has going for it and it's only in during the summer. That's right, a limited time. It's the most refreshing yet flavorful drink you can have in the summer. It was so good I drank it before I took a picture. Wouldn't really matter if I did though. Just imagine a tropical smoothie cup and red color on the inside. If I remember I'll come back and add a picture. Anyway go grab the watermelon mojito, a flatbread, and some chips. You won't regret it. read more

I never post bad reviews but this needed it. The smoothie I ordered was good (congrats guys) but everything else was terrible. The guy who took my order 1) was barely paying attention to my order 2) thought I said Chicken Apple Sandwich when i ordered the Sunrise Sunset Smoothie 3) CUSTOM ORDERED me a pizza on a tortilla when I had actually asked for just a plain cheese quesadilla. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT ON THE MENU. Don't go into the store to order. Better off ordering online or going to another storefront. read more

Okay, now I used to love this location and have ordered via Yelp delivery multiple times, but my last experience in store, well more like outside of the store, really irritated me! The BF and I were in the area and decided to stop in for a smoothie. Time-7:10 PM, Doors-Locked...Hours posted on the door for Saturday-9 AM to 8 PM. So what am I missing here...Does this location just close whenever they feel like it now? The guy at the register didn't even bother looking up despite the hours posted on the door AND online. Extremely rude-GREAT business practices and customer service Tropical! read more

Had some wraps and a smoothie for lunch. My wrap was fresh but needed seasoning. The smoothie was a bit sweet for my tastes. Will visit again if I have a smoothie craving, but will not be a lunch spot for me read more

Smoothies on Smoothies on Smoothies!! There are so many options here, it's ridiculous. I'm an avid smoothie fan and the smoothies that are produced here are fantastic. I'm a big fan of the Avocolada (avocado, lime, pear, kale, spinach, ginger) and there's always some sort of seasonal smoothie that always seem to pop up every two weeks. And I'm not exaggerating! This week was the UnBeetable Berry smoothie. I ordered it and it was delicious. The space is pretty small but there is outdoor seating, which is nice when you want to enjoy the spring/summer/fall weather. The employees are very nice and brings your food (aka smoothie) to you! That's kind of unheard of for a "fast food" joint. My buddy and I always come after our late workout (~8 pm) and there's always people in there, so you know its a good place. The location is always clean and a person is coming around the discard cups that people have neglected to throw away. Tip: Check in everytime you get here. There are always promotion offers. Last time I got a free smoothie and combo!! read more

Tropical smoothie Cafe has the fastest service. I am blown away every time i visit within moments of ordering i have a smoothie in hand. The smoothies are delicious and taste fresh every time.

the ladies that work in the kitchen have a gift the food is so consistently delicious and the smoothies are never watery (unlike the seven corners location ) no matter what you order here u will be blessed read more

I love this place bc their smoothies are so tasty! 24 oz smoothie and a flatbread sandwich = $11 (decent price for a good meal) My favorite is avocalado (so good) and chipotle chicken flatbread. 5 stars for the staff! They seem to be young and friendly. They give no problems if you have special request! Skip this: Caesar chicken wrap- needs more sauce (taste too healthy but get it if you want a healthy option) read more

Delicious Smoothies! I come here for the kale lemonade smoothie. Its a bit sweet but tasty! Remember to use their coupons. I only end up paying $1.10 for my large kale smoothie =). read more

Very very disappointed with the customer service today ! I come here with my kids once a week and always order a smoothie with 3 kids cups (3 cups of water) I have been coming to this location for almost 2 years now . Today for some strange reason the women running the register denied me the 3 small cups of water for my kids . She said to me she could not give me any cups without me paying an extra 50 cents for each cup . I explained to her I only had exact cash for one smoothie and we've never been charged for ice TAP water before . After I asked to speak to the manager she said there was no manager on duty, I asked for the managers name and she told me she didn't have the managers name . I even asked for a business card and she denied that too. If there is a manager on here for the tropics smoothie on fairfax dr I would really appreciate it if you got back to me . I'm very offended and very disappointed by this . To make things worse my kids were crying for some water and she still didn't have the heart to give us tap water unless we paid for it! (Knowing I didn't have any more money )... read more

Tropical smoothie cafe is a great place for a quite bite to eat if you want to have fresh, tasty, affordable food. Their smoothies are SO yummy, and they have enough of a selection that there's something for everyone! I had their jerk chicken bowl, and it was tasty, BUT DECEIVINGLY SPICY!! I give the food a 3/5 and the smoothies a 5/5 which is how we ended up at 4 stars. Seriously my day is always made better with a tropical smoothie. read more

I have got a very good sandwiches here always tasty never being disappointed Keep up the good work guys I will be back They also make very good smoothies all my kids like there smoothies. read more

the food and smoothies are very good and though the service was fast the employees were on there phones while I was trying to order and talking loud in the back. They also got our order mixed up with someone else. I do understand we all have those days, but I expected better costumer services. read more

Great smoothies and food. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere. They have the classic breakfast items here. The other locations I've been too stopped carrying them but this place still has them. Thank goodness! Please don't change that! read more

Maybe it makes me basic, but I love myself some Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Their smoothies have been satisfying many a serious pregnancy craving for me lately, and I think their wraps, sandwiches, and flatbreads are quite tasty as well. I particularly like their breakfast wraps and their chicken salad sandwich. Favorite smoothies are anything with mango in 'em. read more

I ordered through DoorDash at this location and after looking at the reviews I didn't expect much. I ordered one Pomegranate plunge, a buff chix wrap WITHOUT romaine due to the recall, and a baby chocolate chimp smoothie. Of course only the larger smoothie arrived and they provided me a cookie instead of chips with my wrap. My wrap was pretty cold when it arrived, even though the drive was maybe 10 minutes. They actually did remember to remove the romaine and the wrap was pretty decent. But the inconsistency of not having 2 of the other items I wanted, is probably on them and not DoorDash. Smoothie was good but they need to actually deliver what you ordered. read more

Their own app says Skip the line. Which I was hoping to do. But for some reason, I spent the same amount of time as if I'd walked in and ordered food. I waited in a line for 10 minutes with a rude lady who was catering to a customer in the walk-in line. When she finally addressed me, she didn't even know what my order was and only then ordered my smoothie to be made. What was the point of me using the app to pre-order and come at the time I was given? read more

I loved my Mocha Madness and Chicken Pesto Flatbread. Both were tasty, fresh tasting and filling. The staff were welcoming, quick and professional. I'll definitely be back. read more

TSC is a solid, reliable stop to get food and smoothies. Their meals are a ton of food at a great price and you know you're going to get exactly what you're expecting. They have great breakfast sandwiches as well as delicious lunch sandwiches and salads. They make a mean chocolate chip cookie as well. As the name suggests, they specialize in smoothies. They have a huge range from healthy green smoothies, high protein smoothies, sugary favorites, etc. They're great about customizing smoothies as well. Don't want sugar? Ask them to leave it out. Want juice instead of water? They'll make it that way. They have a really solid menu with a ton of great choices. They also make the food fast which is great if you're ever in a hurry. TSC is a quick, inexpensive place to get a relatively healthy meal which is hard to come by these days. read more

Peanut butter cup. Ahh. Bananas, chocolate protein, peanut butter. Perfectly executed at this location - smooth, no random chunks of fruit. Just perfect ratios of ingredients. Incredibly fast, friendly service. Five stars! read more

First time eating here. Used Eat24 app. I had been curious, but it kills the cat - remember?!? I will never order from here again and here's why: 1. Delivery time showed 15-20 mins. It ended up being 45-60. (Although I think they did pack it within 15-20 mins.) 2. If you are ordering a TOASTED bagel you would expect it to be toasty maybe. Maybe crunchy? And I did not order mine with a smear of mold in hole. 3. Got the kids cheese pizza which was an Oscar Mayer dough crust with tinny tomato sauce that obviously was a dollar store frozen concoction. 4. The kids cheese quesadilla might have been good if it was still warm and melty. As it ended up, a thick triangle of layers of flour tortilla and hardened cheese that was difficult to unfold. 5. The last item I was totally shocked by. Their name contains the word "smoothie." So that's what they do. The mocha smoothie was horrendous! I couldn't even doctor it up to make it taste good. I don't know. 6. Maybe the taste wasn't right because I didn't have a straw to sip it with. I mean I did get a 'straw' that was like the red ones you use to stir airplane size cups of coffee. That was probably why it tasted bad. Yeah, right. Suffice it to say curiosity was killed, check. Done. Next :-/ read more

I made a order online to keep up. When I got there 40 minutes latter my food wasn't ready and I had to wait and ask for my order. I work for a moving company so I have to be back on the road ASAP. Slow service. read more

I love their smoothies and breakfast wraps. You can order online ahead and pick it up. The salsa sunrise is my favorite. This location is great because theres always parking in front or around the building! read more

I love Tropical Smoothie Cafes but this location has really bad customer service. No one is in line when I enter the store. I ordered one smoothie. The people behind me in line order wraps and smoothies. Then another solo diner orders. I wait. And wait. I ask the cashier, "Is my smoothie on the way?" Then they bring orders out to the counter. The two guys behind me get their smoothies and wraps. Then the lady after them gets her order! Ok, I ask again. There my smoothie is...melted down on top. Epic fail. Never again at this shop. And BTW, no apologies from staff. read more

This place always puts in a good mood! I love that they have so many vegetarian options! Lean Machine with Splenda! read more
