I honestly don't remember exactly what smoothies the family ordered, but we loved every single one of them. I ordered the watermelon mojito--mostly because I told myself it was a lower calorie option. I don't know if that's true, but it was delicious, regardless. The space conveyed a tropical vibe with bright colored murals and furniture. The staff were quick and efficient, and there was limited outdoor seating. The establishment is right around the corner off the main Woodmont Ave drag on Elm St. Keep an eye out, or you're likely to miss it! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - CHIA BANANA BOOST® with Whey protein - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Staff is really nice and the smoothies are awesome. I always get the Mango Monsoon, is my favorite. Also, flatbreads are really good

workers are always rude especially the guy in the skullcap. the foods fine but the workers always have attitude,

The cost to make smoothies are expensive. Tropical Smoothie sells 24 fluid ounce smoothies for around $8.49 plus tax. While it is expensive to treat oneself sometimes, the smoothie options are endless and delicious. I recommend coming here. read more

We tried the acai berry boost, the peanut butter cup, and the acai bowl. We loved all of it, so we went back a 2nd and 3rd time this long weekend. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. Ordering through their app was convenient and easy. Pick-up was fast and painless, and the staff were nice & chill. read more

Happy National Smoothie Day! My granddaughter and I started our adventure for the perfect smoothie. We looked up smoothies on Yelp and Tropical Smoothie Cafe had 4 stars, so off we went. Unfortunately, they didn't know about any specials for National Smoothie Day, but that didn't stop us from ordering smoothies. We ordered the Sunrise Sunset. It had strawberry, pineapple, mango, and orange juice. One sip and I could feel the island breeze, hear the steel band, and wipe the sand off my toes. It was the best smoothie I have ever had. It was sweet, fresh, fruity, and a healthy guilty pleasure. The place was packed and they offer lots of sandwiches and wraps to go along with your smoothie. Parking is a little tricky because they are doing construction on Elm Street, but we parked on the street and we were okay. The service was good and I enlisted my granddaughter's help in taking pictures. A future Yelper in training and she gave her input to the review. I would definitely go back and order a sandwich to go along with our smoothies. It is not cheap, it runs about $6-$7 a smoothie. But, Yelp has a check in order, so they take $1.50 off of one. It was worth every penny. I loved my smoothie! read more

I love the food. This location does not have their act together though. God forbid there's something wrong with your online delivery. These people never pick up the phone! Door dash couldn't reach them, I couldn't reach them. I've ordered enough from them while I am at work to have one wrong order delivered, an item missing from my order, and my food not getting delivered (DoorDash fault, not the cafe's, but not picking up phone to get refunded) on separate occasions. I'm not risking it anymore. read more

Great service and amazing smoothies/bowls! Love this place! The staff is always so friendly!

IT's cheaper to get a smoothie with the meal that way. I always get the meal with the smoothie. Instead paying sparely. Paying sparely for the food and smoothie that will cost around $16. If get it with the meal it will cost around $13. I very like the chicken beacons with ranch. It is very delicious, I like the tasters. The bread wasted to burn that is the good thing. read more

Let me first say that Im happy this place came to Laurel. I have been feaning for a good place for healthy food and smoothies. If they didnt open I would've opened one. I have been here twice so far and both experiences were good. First time I dined in, 2nd time was for pick up. The place is clean and the service is good. Friendly staff. And the food is great. So far I've had the Caribbean wrap and the Thai Wrap. The Caribbean is my favorite. read more

They honestly are horrible at picking up the phone i called 17 different times because i need to cancel my order and i didn't want them to make it for no reason and get charged if i wasn't able to pick it up but they never answered once. I had to put in a complaint with the the actual website because they did not answer. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This is my favorite juice bar in Bethesda! The portions are huge for the amount that you are paying. I'd recommend getting the smoothies without the sweetener added (they are too sweet for my taste with the added sweetener). Also make sure that you check this place out in the early morning (before 9AM) when they are running their happy hour special- all of the smoothies will be half the price! My favorite smoothies are the following: - Island Green - Can't go wrong with a classic green smoothie filled with superfoods. - Triple Berry Oat - The oats in this smoothie make the smoothie a little chunkier so don't get this if you want a smooth consistency. But the added oats definitely make you fuller for longer (get this if you want a breakfast replacement). - Acai Berry Boost - Classic berry smoothie. I generally ask them not to put in the pomegranates because I believe they use a syrup for this. read more

I had just wrote a review for TSC in Columbia this morning and I started to crave it again. This location is only 7 minutes from my job so I ran over for breakfast to satisfy the craving. I came to get a Paradise Point + kiwi and the first thing I asked was if Happy Hour was still going on, the cashier said the store didn't do Happy Hour. I asked is it different for each store since I went to the one in Columbia the day prior and they clearly had it, she just shrugged. Okay....cool. I just moved on to order my meal. I went to Check In on Yelp & a discount came up for $3.49 for any smoothie popped up. I showed the cashier and she wasn't able accept it. I asked why and she said it's not from them. I explained to her that this discount is from TSC... through... Yelp. She was frazzled and I was completely patient because there was a slight language barrier, however I was running late for work so I let her know that I understand you're trying to figure this out but I'm pressed for time. She called someone (I assume a fellow employee) explaining the problem and I just asked for a manager to expedite the process..no one was there except her. The other employee was running late and I had to wait for her. The other employee came after 7 minutes and she came to the monitor and told the other woman it was the happy hour option...the one that this store didn't have as she said earlier. The other employee rushed to fix my order and she DID NOT WASH HER HANDS. The sign behind clearly said employees MUST wash their hands. I don't care if she used tongs to get my fruit. It's against policy and it's disgusting to touch customers food with dirty hands. I didn't say anything since I was pressed for time and I was already over it. It was a horrible experience. Listen, I understand language barriers first hand, but I waited for a smoothie and breakfast sandwich for 35-40 minutes. Something that's supposed to take 5 minutes. Horrible experience. read more

The best run Tropical Smoothie Cafe I've ever been to. Super friendly staff, too. Highly recommend.

An office catering need for the monthly COO luncheon (I didn't take pictures of the attendees food) that TSC provided us with a platter of delicious & creativity of sandwiches & smoothies. Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich, Hummus Veggie Wrap, that I was prepare to battle for until the ranch dressing presented itself, & Thai Chicken Wrap. Chips & Smoothies, with a double consumption of the Blimey Limey, consisted of Strawberries, Pineapple, Orange Juice & Lime. Others on deck were the Sunny Day; Mango, Banana, Orange Juice, Kiwi & Paradise Point; Strawberries, Banana & Pineapple. Not sure how an unattended attendee was consuming their Artisan Tacos of Korean BBQ Steak & Cilantro Lime Fish...duly noted TSC is more than just a Smoothie place. Even with the order being delivered by 3 people was late, the turn out from the majority was satisfied. Since it's a 10 minute walk from the office, I will mosey on down to Elm Street & delve in some other selections to my liking, i.e. the Hummus Wrap w/o the Ranch Dressing. :-) read more

My go to smoothie: Sunshine: Mango, banana, orange, pineapple & orange juice *I add the spinach and kale superpack to this smoothie. Pros: *The smoothies are delicious *The ingredients seems really fresh *The store itself is nice and has ample seating *I got this Peanut Butter, Banana, Granola, Honey Flatbread sandwich thing and it was freakin' delish! *It's on Bethesda Row (It's close to my apt) *The smoothies are a really nice size *I think the price is pretty reasonable. $7.05 for the smoothie (But it's larger than your typical smoothie). And compared to the $9.50 small juice place right around the corner... there's no question which one is the better deal. *I just found out that they have a check-in offer on Yelp for a $3.50 smoothie!!! *They have a really wide variety of smoothies *The store is usually very clean Cons *I won't even go into these minimal cons, as the pros far outweigh them. It's not even worth a mention, cause I really love this place. I'll be back soon. read more

In a perfect world happy hours would be 24/7. Well now you can add 7 am until 10 am at TSC. All smoothies are $3.50. We chose the avocolada with avocado,pineapple, spinach, kale, coconut and lime. The second drink was the chia banana boost with coconut, almonds,dates,chia seeds, banana and peanut butter. Both were delicious. Both were generous 24 ounce servings. However, both had more sugar than necessary. I don't know if less sugar or no added sugar will get me to the right place, so some experimentation will follow. Regardless, it is a great way to get your superfoods. read more

I ordered the thai chicken wrap with baked lays chips and a chocolate chunk cookie. I love this place!! The wrap was toasty and the cookie was soft. Thank you! My new favorite spot for well priced, healthy food (the wraps anyway) :) I ordered through uber eats but will try to get take out and patron this cafe when things are back to "normal " read more

I placed a delivery order, when it arrived, my smoothie was missing, called the bethesda store and first was told the driver had the smoothie, then was told the smoothie was never made, she then said i could come pick up the smoothie though i paid a delivery fee, so she said i could get a refund, so i asked if i wld receive a confirmation of the refund, she asked someone if that wld be the case, and was told no, i said i need to speak with a manager...guess what, she was the manager!!! the manager didn't know the process...hilarious!! but she did know that i should receive the refund within 7 days, if not, i should call back, but it's no record of this transaction...interesting!! read more

i first found out about tropical smoothie when i was Ohio and so sad that they didn't have any in Maryland near me and now they do!! I've been driving to Frederick or Virginia... and it would take me like 30+ minutes just for my island green ! but it's worth it everytime. i love tropical smoothie lol it's my Starbucks. I also love the smoothie that has banana chia seed with peanut butter i forgot the name but you should definitely try it as well! read more

Consistently good! Tried something new: Muscle Blaster with pea protein. Yummy. This location is out of the way, but worth the search!

Check in offer for yelp members is a great plus! I tried the Detox Island Green for 160 calories of yummy healthy juice! The ginger can come out a bit strong but its a natural antibiotic what do you expect?! The cashier was very helpful and patient, store was clean, and parking is a bit difficult so make sure you know how to parallel park! I am a huge fan of tropical smoothie and all that it promotes, especially considering there are no powders and all real fruits/veggies! read more

Go here probably 3-4 times a week. The service here is always on point. Time from arrival to leaving is maybe 3 minutes. The people working are very friendly and the smoothies taste great. Be sure to ask for them with no added sugar otherwise they add a quarter cup of sugar which is really not needed as the smoothies are plenty sweet with the fruit in them. If you go in the morning they have a happy hour which means you get almost any smoothie for $5. They also have a rewards system where you get $5 after spending $55 you just have to download their app. read more

I love this place. The smoothies are amazing. The wraps are great! My ONLY issue is that i specifically said no pickled onions on my wrap and they ended up on it. Even the receipt said "no pickled onions". Thankfully, I'm NOT a picky eater so i ate my wrap anyway! Cause it's delish!!! But the reason I'm posting is so that the employees pay close attention to orders - as somebody placing an order may have a serious allergy and a minor oversight could have serious consequences. However, we are all human and make mistakes.. I'll be back but hopefully this mistake gets ironed out :) read more

They said they completed my order for curbside before I ever got there and when I had to go inside to pick up my order because they won't answer their phone, the cashier has head phones in and couldn't even hear me at without taking them out . This has happened the both times I've ordered. When I asked what was up last time the same cashier huffed "well I don't see your car". They said my order was completed before I ever got there that's why you don't see my car. read more

Poor customer service; unprofessional. Avoid this location. Smoothie King close by, nothing but great experiences there.

My favorite smoothies hands down. However, the employees need a kick in the ass because it ruins the experience. Good thing is that you're only there for less than 10 minutes with minimal interactions but still, those 2 minutes of ordering and paying are enough of an impression to leave a good or bad taste in people's mouths. One young man usually has his iPhone headphones in, he doesn't smile, doesn't repeat back the order, just stares at you blankly like you're supposed to read his mind lol either way, I truly love and crave these smoothies daily! read more

My favorite Tropical smoothie in DC area! Staffs are always friendly and helpful

At first I was extremely disappointed after waiting 1 hour for a delivery that usually takes at most 20 minutes. The delivery person shows up with someone else's order. Prior to that, an order made earlier took 2 hours long so that was cancelled. This is my favorite place so it's disappointing when your order is incorrect and/or missing items, which has also happened recently. Instead of saying what I really felt when I didn't get my correct order, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt saying these exact words: "Let's try this again shall we?" (via Doordash) and my personal favorite "You're better than this (via Uber eats). Don't let there be a next time... P.S. I still want my refund through Uber eats since this is the most generous critique ever made via Yelp. You're welcome. read more

Tasty treats! And I love the wraps too! My colleagues and I are addicted to the smoothies.

Nice Place! Had the pleasure of trying this place out when I ran out of protein powder at home. The owner helped me out and made the smoothie. He was cool and offered suggestions based on what I liked and didn't like. The place is bright, roomy and with plenty of seating and a few chairs outside. Ended up with an awesome smoothie! read more

I love tropical cafe but this location is really disappointed me. I ordered through their website for delivery and my food was not delivered with my smoothie. I spoke with someone and they told me that it needs to be handled through doorsDash but it was odd because I ordered from their WEBISITE. I called back right after to confirm if that information was accurate and no one answered! I called at least 15 time b/c I do not play with my food. No one answered! I'm not sure if I was being ignored or if they were really busy, but I'm very disappointed. read more

Horrible customer service. My curbside order "never came through" and I waited outside while the girl kept going back and forth to check the tickets that had printed. It had been 30 minutes since my credit card was run (and I got an alert from my bank), but she just kept shaking her head and asked me if I had the right location. Twice she walked away and closed the door on me while I was still talking. I triple checked that I had ordered from the correct location on their website. I came inside (even though we are supposed to be social distancing and I preferred to wait outside) and good thing I did because she wasn't even working on my order. It seemed like she was just gonna let me sit outside forever and was going to do nothing to help me. So annoyed. It didn't help that I am 9 months pregnant and I was STARVING. She finally made it and never apologized or said anything friendly at ALL. read more
