Healthy options for smoothies, salads, sandwiches, and breakfast in LELAND?! Hip Hip, Hooray! I was so excited to learn at TSC was coming to Leland. I'll be honest, I'd only ever had one item from there and tasted an item that my friend ordered, but I loved it! I just never went because there was never a location that was convenient to mine. We checked it out earlier this week a few days after their opening. Lots of healthy options to feast upon. I got a hummus veggie bowl and couldn't have been happier with all the flavors. The hummus was extra garlicky, which I loved and it mixed well with the smashed avocado. It also had black beans, corn, and rice, and pickled onions. Those onions were the perfect touch of tangy! Served over kale, spinach, and romaine blend and topped with lite ranch. Man, I was impressed! As I sat eating my salad, I couldn't help but notice all the other diners sipping their smoothies. When in Rome...we had to order one to go to check it out. We went simple and tried the Kiwi Quencher which is strawberry kiwi and yogurt. It was simple yet delicious. The Green Apple Matcha is on my radar though. Also, all their smoothies are made with turbinado as the sweetener. That is a derivative of pure cane sugar and it is named by the way in which they make it. You can substitute splenda if you'd like. read more

Service was ok, food was god awful. Ordered the chicken pesto, it was like they just dumped a whole thing of pesto on it and called it a day. Salty and not edible, couldn't finish. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Chicken Pesto Flatbread - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Belville, North Carolina

If you are hungry and want bugs roaming around in your food this is the place to go. Got home with mine and my girlfriend's food and there were bugs playing hopscotch in our salads. Never going to this place again, they are nothing but trash. read more

The smoothies are really good and the food is okay, But when I sat down to eat the employees that were working today started cussing at each other and screaming. I never had this problem before. read more

Well, I started out liking the place. I really like the Blimy Limy drink. So I decided I would try some of the food. The cali breakfast chicken flatbread is ok. No really excited about it. I tried the kale salad and the dressing they add is horrific. But the worst was the wrap my BF got. As you can see in the photo the bacon appears to be uncooked and the apple has a warm hole. I was super disappointed when I got home, and BF could not eat the food. So I took it back. The young girl that originally took my order could really not help me. All she said was that the bacon comes there already precooked and she doesn't know what to do about the apple. I asked to speak the a manager and she did attempt to contact the manager by phone. No response. I left my name and number and was told 8 would hear back within the hour. Its been 7 days and I still have not heard from anyone. I attempted to call them several times this week at all different times and the only thing you can do is order online or press a number for a text link. So disappointed. I will never be going back there. Shame. read more

I've given this place multiple chances even though I enjoy the smoothies (sometimes) there are times they can't get them right. The employees at this location give my experience a low rating for service. I've ordered a peanut butter cup smoothie before but this time it was liquid rather than a balance of liquid and a solid. I also had the chicken pesto but when I opened it up there was barely any meat and it looked pathetic. I'm glad the meat was cooked right cause sometimes it's like biting on rocks. I don't think I'll return to this location anymore for having multiple bad experiences but this time I've had enough, not to mention the sanitation score is a 93. read more

went in today at 8:30 to grab two smoothies and two flat breads, got told that i couldn't have the flatbreads because they turned the ovens off. closing time was at 9. this is the third or so time i've come in and they have either been apparently irritated with me ordering food, or just have straight up said no, that they already clean the area or turned the ovens off. seems ridiculous to me. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - time stamp of when i ordered - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Belville, North Carolina

1-I received the wrong order, did not realize the mistake until 10miles down the road. I ordered a Bahama Momma with B12. I received what I think was a Beach Bum with artificial sweetener. I suffer from chronic migraines and artificial sweetener will trigger a migraine episode. 2- Also the young man making the smoothies was not wearing gloves and pulled something from the bottom of his shoe and continued making smoothies without washing his hands. I live 30 miles from this location and have visited numerous time with great clean service. My health was put in jeopardy as well as a serious health code violation. read more

just walked in to get 2 smoothies. I was told I couldn't place my order in person, I had to place it online or there would be a 15-20 minute wait. Super annoying. had to go get my phone to do it. Meanwhile, the employees are busy texting on their phones for several minutes, not even paying attention to us. Next customer that comes in places order right at the register quickly! Really??!! Never coming here again. read more

As a lover of Tropical Smoothie Cafe and a loyal customer for years I can truly say that my experience at this Leland location was terrible and by far the worse customer service EVER! I placed an online order at 2:47pm and waited 42 mins for my order which consisted of one Immune Boost smoothie. Long after the pickup time of 2:57 I continued to wait. At 3:18 I called while waiting outside for someone to bring the order to my car, since the inside was closed due to COVID 19 precautions. The woman who answered the phone assured me that my order was next as they were running behind. 10 mins later I see a male employee holding 5 or so smoothies yelling someone else's name and passing out smoothies to others, cars that I literally watched pull up long after I did. I asked the male employee who the manager was and he stated it was him. I asked his name and he replied Tommy, he asked for my name and I responded, then he went back inside. Still waiting, I attempted to call again but the line was busy. At 3:30pm Tommy comes out with my smoothie. I explained that I had waited for over 40 mins for one smoothie. I understood that they were busy however I asked why orders weren't being given out in the order they were placed? Tommy, the Manager, looked at me, put his hand up in the air and said "I don't have time" then rolled his eyes and walked away. Not only was he dismissive but the lack of customer service was beyond appalling! I have never been treated so rudely by someone in a managerial role and expect more from those in such a position. If you can't take a simple question from a customer who is not being irate or even raising their voice, then there's a problem. Even if you're having a bad day there is no excuse to be so unprofessional. I certainly expect more from this chain and will think twice about supporting this location or recommending others to patronize here if this is the type of service being rendered. read more

Quality can be very irregular as there is alot of staff turn over. Overall, the price is a bit high for what you get. Smoothie King gives you a better tasting product and what seems like more ingredients . TSC uses more ice, less ingredients. However, there are no sSmoothie King stores in Leland so TSC gets a star for showing up. read more

Good food and fast service! Always prompt order confirmation and delivery! Tired of writing this review.9

If I could give this place a negative star I would. I kid you not I hit into my buffalo chicken wrap & their was a 1/2" piece of thick METAL in my food. I'm assuming it came off their equipment & I wonder what other poor soul got metal shards in their food. Hopefully no one else. I'm already paying for overpriced "healthy" food, I don't want metal in it. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Metal in Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Belville, North Carolina

In a pinch i will. Their fruit smoothies a generally too sweet for me. Not a bad experience just not a fan of super sweet smoothies.

This Tropical Smoothie is now my favorite in the area! The inside was super clean which is always a good start! The staff was working hard to complete all of the grab-n-go orders on top of the walk-in orders! They seemed to all be in a good mood which makes for great service! I had one of the quesadillas and it was perfect! Very fresh and cooked just right! Worth heir smoothies being so big, my friend an I decided to split the Peanut Butter Cup smoothie and they even put it into smaller separate cups for us! Lastly, they offer reusable mugs for such a good price so that they can join in on using less plastic!! read more

The girls running this tropical smoothie are by far the most incompetent, disrespectful children I have ever experienced. I literally just waited 20 minutes for them to make a wrap, drop it on the floor, re make it the. Look straight at me and walk away with my food and had the nerve to call me rude when I said I'm standing right here. Mind you they had 6 people working including a manager and only 2 other orders on the screen. Do better. read more

Tried this place again.. Not sure why only placing 1 person on smoothie...1 on grill...1 on cash when at least 5 are messing around in the back doing 'prep' ...it lacks training and a manager...so disjointed yet again! Finally got a smoothie. The orange juice based sunrise sunset...if I wanted to drink over half the cup of ice I should've just asked for straight ice cubes! It was lacking. Overall, The place still needs actual management and work on their food.... Yikes. read more

Quesadilla was burnt... flavors were ok, but couldn't get over the burnt flavor. Ordered online and had to wait when I arrived to go home with a burnt quesadilla. You could smell the burning in the store, why a manager would allow a customer to leave with a burnt product is beyond me read more

While the smoothie's are good, you always end up waiting 10 mins with one person in front of you for a smoothie. Often there is only one person "capable" of taking your order while everyone else is walking around doing something else or nothing. Terrible management. read more

This location always forgets my curbside order so I have to wait for them to remake it. And if they do make it, they forgot to bring it out. And if they actually bring it out, it's normally missing some items. The food is always good, but almost not worth the trouble here read more

Food will always be wrong or rotten. Ive gotten both moldy chicken and pineapple from them. Used to be my favorite breakfast place in leland and now its terrible. read more

After ordering our smoothies we waited approximately 20 minutes at the curbside pick up just to be brought the wrong smoothie.

Clean and friendly and convenient.

I've visited Tropical Smoothie twice in the past and was overwhelmed by their menu - so many options! So this time I ordered a smoothie online through their website. This allowed me to take my time and see all the choices available and how the calories add up. The website was very user friendly and easy to navigate. I chose to order it so it would be ready as soon as possible. Website said 10 minutes. I walked in exactly 10 minutes after my order was made and the smoothie was waiting for me. What's really nice is the smoothie wasn't kept out in the open, it was chilling in an ice bath behind the counter so it was cold and refreshing. The cashier even double checked with me that I had the correct order which I appreciated. I got the mocha smoothie with Splenda and a boost of protein powder. Highly recommend! read more

So I ordered the hummus veggie bowl. There are literally like 7 ingredients in it. They managed to forget to put in both hummus and avocado. My expectations were pretty low to begin with, but I expected better than that. read more

I like the fact you can order on the app but pick up is confusing. There was no designated area to pick up mobile orders and found myself waiting in line to pick up order. To me, this defeats the purpose of a mobile ordering system. My smoothie was very icy and watery - almost tasteless. Definitely not worth the calories. These are definitely "treats" and not healthy meal replacements. They have as many carbs as a pint of ice cream! Lol. read more

Went to Tropical Smoothie for a Sandwich and a Smoothie. Couldn't believe that we were turned away because they had a big call in order and said we could only get a Smoothie. This is no way to run a business. If they had such a big order, where was the extra help to build the sandwich's. It will be a while before we get back there. Was good when it opened, but seems to be missing the point now. Hope they make a correction before we try again. read more

I ordered a chicken caprese sandwich yesterday with a smoothie yesterday, it was great. Today i ordered the same thing and the sandwich had no tomato nor balsamic glaze. The girl who made the sandwich today needs more training. This is quite disappointing when you bring it home, ready to eat and find the sandwich made incorrectly!!!!! read more

They really need some more staffing you can tell the employees are rushing and overwhelmed. I came around noon for lunch they are rushing to take orders the girl messed up my order saying i ordered a three cheese quesadilla when in reality i ordered a three cheese chicken quesadilla. I don't even see a plain three cheese quesadilla on the menu. Then when i came back in to say my order was wrong the man looked at me and was like well this is what we have on the ticket yes cause y'all clearly took my order wrong. So finally he said he would remake it. And like a previous review they have one person on smoothies which is also the one taking orders and one on the grill.. wasted almost my whole lunch break read more

The staff here is kind and courteous. The smoothies are good and the sandwiches are delicious. One of my daughter's favorite places to go in Leland. read more

Best smoothie place in Leland. Can be kinda expensive but you get a lot of smoothie for what you pay. Food is really good and they can customize how you would like it. Employees are super nice. read more

When they first opened I was so excited to have a healthy fast food place in Leland. The staff was rude and not at all helpful. I prefer not having milk added to my drinks. I'm not allergic but I never feel great after eating or drinking anything with dairy. No one at this place suggested anything. I would not go back there. I prefer going to Panera's. Their staff is always nice and helpful and the food is delicious and fresh. read more

Food is good but service is horrible. I made an online order today, walked in and waiters at the counter for online orders forever, well at least 5 minutes. I finally asked a girl sweeping the floor if I was at the right spot for online order pick up and she replied yes and walked off. Finally I flagged down another girl and asked the same question and she said yes and asked my name. She pointed at food on the counter and said there and walked away. Wow! This was my fourth time there since grand opening and unfortunately this past visit will be my last. I am not a fan of being treated like a nobody and standing at a counter looking like a fool! Bye Bye, my business will go somewhere else. read more

first time ordering online from Tropical Smoothie and it was amazing. Sandwich was perfect. Nice guy that gave me my order. they seem to be handling covid procedures very well! read more

Way way friendlier than the one in Porters Neck. Bright, clean and seems to be a lot busier. I always get a different smoothie and it's always deeeeelish. Consistently hits the spot. Expect a little wait, unfortunately. The smoothie makers are a little slow. We waited 15 minutes. read more

I come here often and the smoothies and food are both great! The employees are always extremely nice as well. Love coming here (:

Stood at the counter for a few minutes waiting to order, I was not helped or even acknowledged despite the employees making eye contact.

Great place for a quick bite to eat and huge delicious smoothies to go! Everything is always fresh and delicious. The bahama mama is their best smoothie in my opinion but you can't go wrong with any of them! Their app is really easy to use and gets you good deals. Definitely a new favorite spot for me read more

I visited the Leland, NC location two weeks ago. Since it's only open for carry out I called in my order in transit. I knew what I wanted, but my wife wasn't sure. So I asked the person on the phone, other than the smoothie I ordered, what others do you have. To this he replied, "Do you want me to read the whole menu?" In a very rude tone. A better chose could have been something like "So does she like or does she not like ?" Better customer service training is needed for this young person. read more

We had a take out and it was awesome. The smoothie was excellent the the ultimate club was fresh and very tasty. We will certainly be returning. read more
