CHIA BANANA BOOST® with Whey protein

Ordered the Chia banana boost and it was made within like 2 minutes! Fast team and the cashier Xavi was super nice!!

Acai Bowl: acai base, fresh strawberries & blueberries, banana, coconut, granola, chia seeds & honey

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.

Cute signs inside the store.

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!

Caribbean Wrap

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.

CHICKEN BACON RANCH with sweet potatoes and smoothie SUNRISE SUNSET
Sarah Z.

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.

Island green

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.

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.

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.

Island Green with Kale, Spinach, Extra Pineapple & Banana.

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. :-)

THE best flavor and they have it in detox

Tried this place for the first time through a delivery app. I was craving something nutritious and…read morewholesome, and I was intrigued by the raw vegan eats on the menu. I ordered 3 items. The standout by a mile were the walnut burritos. These were deeeeeeeelicious! Perfectly seasoned and prepared, I just wish the portion size was bigger than 2 measley little wraps. I definitely could have eaten an entire plate of these things! I give this dish alone 10 stars! As for the Thai power quinoa salad, that was just "ok." Ho hum. Edible but nothing special. I've made better myself at home. Not sure what they could do to improve it, but it was missing something...maybe lime or a better dressing...that would have really kicked it up a notch. Finally, as for the "pot brownies," those were disappointing. Edible? Yes. Satisfying? No. I ended up eating one and throwing the other one away. I didn't miss it! So all in all, only 1 of the 3 items was one I'd ever order again. Even then, I have to admit I did have an upset tummy after eating it though. I think it might be because I ate the bed of greens it came on. I wasn't sure if that was just a garnish or what. But so much of the burrito filling fell onto the lettuce greens that I just ate like a salad once I'd polished off the two wraps themselves. But I have a suspicion those greens might not have been the freshest or the cleanest, in which case I'll avoid them in the future. My tummy definitely will thank me for it!

Charming health food spot, found on accident before a hair appointment. I got the sunshine smoothie…read more(which includes mango, pineapple, jamu, saffron extract, coconut cream). The inside is small and clean. A tad pricy, but worth it in my opinion for quality ingredients.

I suppose the prices arent cheap, but i used classpass credits to order from here lol. they expired…read moretoday so i just wanted something that was quick and close to me. it was very easy to order it from the app and the food was ready when i got there (less than 20 min. i stopped at trader joes so i dont know how long, but it was very quick). the presentation was good! I got a honey oatmeal and a tropical smoothie. the texture of the oatmeal was pretty good! i think the size of both of them was also pretty good. they both also taste fresh ingredient wise. the oatmeal by itself was pretty plain, but it is oatmeal and there were toppings so im not mad at that. perhaps there could be more of the toppings on the outmeal but im honestly not too too upset. the place is smallish but when i came (5.30 on a sat) it wasnt busy at all. it was actually empty. their guest wifi is password protected but i thinki the speed is pretty good. theres seating with chargers so i decided to do some work there. they also close at 9, which is a decent time to close! Im not sure that i would spend my own dollars here but i would def use classpass credits here again!

Have not had a bad smoothie from here. Prices are higher than Tropical Smoothie ($10.25-$12.25) but…read morethe quality makes up for it. They don't add any sweetener to their smoothies or ice so it doesn't get watered down. It's just fruit and almond milk or coconut water. There is one size smoothie, a 20oz cup. They also offer bottled cold pressed juices for $9 and wellness shots for $4.25. Acai bowls range from $11.25 to $15 and are a good option for the price. They offer oatmeal and toast options as well. Right next to Trader Joe's for a treat before shopping.
