I haven't had a bad experience ordering from Tropical Smoothie Cafe in NYC, and this visit was no exception. My go-to pick-me-up is the açaí bowl with Nutella, and it was prepared well. For some reason, this location has a C health rating, but nothing felt unhygienic or unclean. My order was prepared faster than at most other Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations, though that may be because this location receives less foot traffic. read more

I walked in to order a smoothie at 9:40pm today and the woman working said they were closed already even though they close at 10pm. She mentioned she was by herself and has to clean but she was clearly making another smoothie. This is unacceptable for turning away business. I don't live close by and was about a 20min drive for me. She also had a bad attitude and did not seem to have a friendly customer service. Would not recommend coming here again. read more

I ordered online through their app. When I arrived not only was the order not ready but I noticed that they had a 'C' health grade! I do not think I have ever seen a C before! The actual violations are quite disturbing also. (https://www.nyceatsafe.com/restaurant/50128998 ) I tried to cancel order and get a refund but was told by the employee he can not process refunds that were done online and I have to contact corporate. Unfortunately, I will not be visiting this particular location again. I would not recommend for others to go here. Pick one of their other locations. read more

This spot offers a ton of different options that go beyond smoothies like wraps and bowls! I ordered two açaí bowls and made some substitutions. For one bowl, they forgot one add in but overall - the acai bowls are so great. Very flavorful and full of fruit - I highly recommend! The space is pretty small but there is seating! I wouldn't eat here though bc the lighting is pretty jarring read more

They made the order wrong but added the items. 3 tables to sit at. Clean bathroom. Bright lights. Order açaí (7.99-6.99) or smoothies. It's kindness day but the 3 females working here are nonverbal- The glass door is broken and banging when people come in. Suggestion- put a sign up - use one door. Looked at me like read more

My go to smoothie place in Astoria. I love their detox island green- it has lots of greens, has slight ginger taste and it's so refreshing. Order on their app for pick up if you want it to be ready by the time you arrive. when you call and order, they will not make it until you get there. Service is great though. read more

On my way to work this morning, I saw that Tropical Smoothie Café has finally opened here in Astoria. This is my first time in a Tropical Smoothie Café. I found out that they are a chain with hundreds of locations nationwide. Their newest location opened yesterday on busy Steinway Street next to Prince Tea House. It's nice to have more healthy food options here. The menu offers made to order salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, wraps and (of course) smoothies. They also have vegan, gluten-friendly options and a kids menu. I ordered a Sunrise Sunset smoothie and an All American Wrap. The Sunrise Sunset smoothie is made with strawberries, pineapples, mango, and orange juice. It was really refreshing, slightly sweet and tangy, thick, and delicious. Their regular size is pretty big, and I had trouble finishing this. I thought it was a good bargain for $4.99. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the same about the All American Wrap which consisted of eggs, bacon, cheddar and mozzarella. It was also $4.99 and it tastes fiber but the portion was kind of small. I would probably skip their Breakfast options and stick with other items like the flatbread which looks amazing. I'm planning on trying that on my next visit. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Their recommendation of the Sunrise Sunset smoothie was spot on. They are giving out vouchers for a Buy One Get One Free on any smoothie or food item. Make sure to grab one by the Registers read more

Had the peanut butter paradise. One of the worst tasting smoothies I've ever had! Dunno what she mixed in it Service: D No energy. Didn't look happy to be there or even remotely pleasant. Ambiance: Cold Will definitely try the smoothie place down the block next time instead read more

The only location in New York City area. Limited selection but have entree and smoothie options. I like the healthy minimalist menu. I ate the açaí bowl and drank sunset smoothie. The açaí was decent, was a lil frozen than smooth but delicious assortment of toppings. Definitely will order again. The sunset has heavy citrus taste due to ingredients. I drank it with their edible strawberry straw ( saving the environment). This should be a thing. Since I needed the vitamins, this smoothie was a decent option. Lastly, the space has tables with outlets available. Not sure if there's a restroom but I like the open space and fast service from the bar staff. I ordered via app and their system was fast. read more

Some of the employees are rude and racist I got moldy blueberries the service was just bad all together I would NOT recommend this tropical smoothie works were even sleeping on the job and I'm baffled this establishment is even open I have NEVER experienced this and I love tropical smoothie but this just ruined it read more

Great place to grab a smoothie! I like the Detox Island Green the best and also the Acai Berry Boost. They had the morning happy hour special of 50% off the smoothies before 10am, such a good deal. The flatbreads were just ok. That's more of a side meal. The smoothies are the main thing. They have a few tables for eating and drinking there. It wasn't too crowded. Comfortable enough to drink the smoothie there. You order first at the register in the back. Sometimes there's a short wait to order. The wait to get your order is a little longer, especially if you're ordering more than one item. They also have an app you can preorder for pick up and also earn rewards. read more

Stopped by here while I was in the area to pickup a smoothie. There weren't that many people inside at the time so it didn't take too long to make my smoothie. One thing that was off putting was there seemed to be a problem with the door, so the entrance glass doors would slam really hard whenever someone came in or out, so much that it seemed like the glass would shatter any minute. The workers didn't seem phased by it so not sure when that'll be able to get fixed. read more

I enjoy getting smoothies from here frequently, the smoothies I choose usually come out pretty good. I like to go here in the mornings and afternoons so I usually see different staff. I think the staff overall is pretty welcoming except this one lady who works PM shifts. I have been there while she is on shift multiple times and I have gotten ignored and have gotten very reluctant service. I understand that everybody has their bad days, but I've waited more than 15 minutes for a drink while sitting right in front of the pick up spot; she has even gone to the back and not come back. I've had to call for somebody from the back to ask for my drink which was placed in the fridge as if I ordered online. Again, I feel like this place is great but this worker really makes the service unfulfilling. read more

Jetty punch tasted like ice they put to much ice don't recommend sometime:(" Good customer service.

This place is super clean and cheerful, but the smoothie was awful. I went in because they have a half off deal from 7-10am and it's a great bargain. I got a strawberry banana smoothie and was asked if I wanted sugar in it. I said no because I've never had anyone ask me to add sugar to a smoothie - fruit is sweet on its own. It was the most foul tasting smoothie I've ever had. It was not sweet at all and kind of bitter. I get the same kind of smoothie at Uncle Drink on Steinway all the time and they DON'T add sugar and it's amazing. I didn't get any protein powder or anything else added so how could the taste be so off? I literally took two sips and threw it in the garbage. It was a total waste. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for a bad experience. I will not be visiting this business again in the future. UPDATE: The company sent me a $6 gift card and I gave it a second try. The smoothie was just as disgusting as the first time and ended up in the trash. I appreciate them trying to rectify the situation, but I'm going to stick to Uncle Drink where I know the smoothies are always good. read more

Came here on a weekday after work because I was craving for a healthy drink. Tropical smoothie cafe is located not far from the Steinway station so I decided to give it a try. Ordered the drink ahead on their mobile app so I didn't need to wait much longer. Decided to get the detox green smoothie because it has both veggie like spinach and kale and fruits like banana and pineapple. The staff is very friendly. However, the drink tasted very watered down. It looks green but I couldn't taste the ingredients at all, I think the proportion might not be right and it does taste like water. My friend got the peanut smoothie. It tasted VERY sweet, too sweet.. I see they have a deal for $3.99 a drink between 7-10am. Not sure if I should give it another try though. read more

I'm so happy I had a craving for something refreshing and stumbled on this place! You can tell all of their ingredients are quality, and the machines clean. It was such a good value, I got a huge smoothie for $7! Only in Queens. The Blimey Limey is superb. Will come back because the staff are great. Romania, (I may be getting that incorrect) was the best. read more

Simply put, quality? Yeeeeessssss!!!!!! Good, tasty treat. Nice for a casual day at the bookstore or walk in the park. You know, the simple joyous things in life :D Quantity? Nooooooo......... Flatbread smaller than my hand (I don't have big hands at all) and they were stingy with the spinach....SPINACH. So imagine how the rest of the ingredients went. Listen, it's a good thing I had a discount from T-mobile Tuesdays to have a free flatbread entree. They don't have to worry about me paying for anything there. I'll stick to the freebies. read more

What a great discovery, fresh fruit smoothies and breakfast sandwiches late at night. I will be back again!

They're amazing. Super friendly staff. Very clean. Smoothies are tasty and wraps are great too. I don't shut up about this place

Haven't had this in years and it opened up on Steinway by where I live. A little blast from the past. Don't sleep on the Buffalo chicken wrap. read more
