I usually order from this Trop Smoothie through DoorDash as it's much easier to do than the app in my opinion. My go-to is the Chia Banana smoothie. Usually it's fantastic, but the last two times I've gotten it, there has been weird chunks at the bottom (thought it was banana at first, but upon inspection, it doesn't look or taste like it). Overall usually a great stop. read more

The smoothes ate good for the price. Have yet to try the bowls. The staff is not very friendly. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - ISLAND PUNCH SMOOTHIE - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

The Island Green smoothie is my favorite and they did a great job blending, although the ratio of banana was higher than other ingredients but I don't mind that But this was the first (or maybe one of the first) time I tried food from Tropical. Now I know why I stick to smoothies. The Supergreen Caesar Chicken Wrap was good but. It phenomenal. It seemed bland, or simply not worth ordering again. The sweet potato bites were nice. I could taste the maple, and I appreciated the portion size! But also not something I plan to get again. Staff was polite. read more

See all

First time at this location. Got Peanut Paradise with Pea without added sugar. Something about it though was off. Although I liked the amount of sweetness (e.g. not too sweet) there was a grainy texture that I think was the protein powder which I assume is just how it is. Maybe if I got the other peanut butter smoothie it would not taste this grainy and the texture would be better. But otherwise this may be how the smoothie is if you want protein powder in your smoothie. It wasn't a bad smoothie, just wasn't great. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Peanut Paradise with Pea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I am a tropical Smoothie goer and this is by far the best location! The taste of all their options are just that much better. It's almost like they are made with love and my mom is the one making each smoothie :) enjoy! Only negative is the extras are listed as 99 cents but they charge 1.09. 10 cents isn't much, but I had to try and find something wrong with this location! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

The man that makes smoothies on weekday mornings/afternoon makes the MOST AMAZING smoothies ever! Please have him teach the rest of the crews how to make them also teach the rest of them that when people ask for no turbinado, it doesn't mean they want Splenda. Otherwise, this location is probably the best TSC I've been to. Clean and friendly. read more

Very polite servers that know what they are doing and even better food! Great environment by the way!

My husband likes to get his smoothies here over most other places. He's been to all of the TSC by our house, including the BHam location. He's had the the blueberry bliss and mango magic as well as the chia banana boost with PB. He was there last over a week ago, he had the Chia Banana boost that time. Service is good and the smoothies are always consistent across all of their locations. read more

Love this place and the food is yummy but found a long black hair in my sandwich today..... otherwise all good but yikes read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Hair - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

Service is great. Employees are all nice. Extremely fast service and great food each time. Maria was great!

My smoothie was ready very quickly, the other two were claimed by another worker who took 25 minutes to make. No other people in line. She just disappeared into the kitchen and was chatting with someone else. She saw that I was looking at her. When she came back, it took her one minute to make both. She wouldn't hand me the bag because she's "supposed to put the bag on the shelf and then I pick it up." There was eye rolling too. The first girl (teenager) was working so hard and had a smile on her face all the time. Second one looked like the manager or more senior... read more

I don't understand why this establishment got poor reviews. Maybe they came on a bad day but this was the best TSC I've tried. The smoothies we ordered were perfect and we didn't have to wait long at all. Now I was charged for mint when i removed banana from my smoothie (should have just been a substitution) but honestly, it's a MINOR inconvenience. This place was worth the visit and anyone complaining about wait time during a lunch rush is an impatient snob. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Detox Island Green, Lil' Limeberry, and Chocolate Chimp - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I live in the area and come here often. Todays visit was horrible. The lady working tossed our sandwich across the counter and walked away, and our smoothies were not blended at all. Really disappointing as we spent $30 on 2 smoothies and a sandwich and are not at all satisfied with anything we ordered. If you want Tropical I'd suggest going to any other location in the area for better service and quality products. read more

I am updating my review. Actually totally changing it because my opinion about this Tropical Smoothie Cafe location changed from 2 to 5 stars. Originally, I was upset about poor customer service plus my lack of knowledge about their food and smoothies. After posting my original review about poor customer service and my frustration, the owner of the Cafe contacted me about solving this situation. The owner went above and beyond to resolve my issues with my order and spent a good quality of time to make sure I was happy as the customer of his business. After returning to this location for my next order, everything was handled in very friendly and professional matter. Many popular businesses can learn from this business how to handle situations like this. Food: Originally I didn't know what to order and was unhappy with kids menu items. But! My 4 yo son loves their strawberry/banana smoothie and rice and chicken bowl they can make for you. My 14 yo plays hockey and he loves Thai chicken wrap with sun chips and smoothie: detox green smoothie, pomegranate plunge, triple berry oat (yam), and much more. My first review was influenced by poor customer service that has been resolved and I will happily be back to order more healthy food here. read more

Came here for the first time for breakfast and ordered a half sandwich and smoothie. I asked if the breakfast wrap counts as a sandwich, so if I could get it as a half, and the girl at the counter said "I think so". She charged me for (and gave me) a full sandwich. When I went back to the counter to clarify because I received and was charged for something I didn't order, one of the other people working argued with me about it being a wrap, not a sandwich, so not counting for the 1/2 sandwich deal. That's fine, but I wish the counter girl who took my order would have clarified or the girl who had responded had been less abrasive with me, as I didn't get what I ordered and was told something different. The food was fine, but I'll stick to beyond juice just down the street because their smoothies are as good or better and customer service is much more pleasant. read more

I just want to compliment Monika for her excellent customer service. She was so nice and patient. She helped me order the best salad in a jiff and I wasn't disappointed with the Beach Salad. read more

I love this tropical smoothie location, my favorite smoothie only tastes good here and one other loco. I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD ENFORCE MASKS FOR GUESTS COMING IN!!! Save your poor employees and their families who are working for $11/hour (slave wages) so all the Karens can drink the smoothie they could make at home. It's such a small space, no one is social distancing, no one is wearing masks. Every time I've gotten a smoothie from here in the past few months, I choose to wait outside even with a mask due to how people just don't care about others LIVES. It's clear that the American public are not intelligent enough and are fed misinformation, the businesses need to step up and enforce this. I've lost people, I've been sick, and I can't understand why businesses will allow folks to come in without one. read more

Definitely the greatest place to visit in downtown Birmingham. The staff are exceptional and they make sure their customers leave feeling happier than they came in as. Don't delay, stop in today. read more

I go to this location almost everyday and it's pretty decent during the weekday. I think this is because an adult manager is there M-F. However, on the weekend there is a younger lady running the show and it's a hot fire mess. Employees were using Sharpie permanent markers to label the styrofoam cups and the result is that the smell of the marker overpowers the smoothie itself. This is one of the few locations I've been to that uses Sharpies versus crayons. That's not a huge deal, but that smell is nauseating while eating. Also, the same lady kept removing her mask to talk employees while adding ingredients to the drinks. A few seconds later, she pats her visor and hair with her prep gloves. Then, she dropped the top of the blender lid in my drink while running back to the station to add items she had forgotten. It was an unsanitary, potentially infectious mess. I'll be driving far away from home to visit a different location on the weekends. read more

This was my first time today. I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and it was so awesome and refreshing. They whipped it up so fast and it was delicious and the man behind the counter was very professional. I want to go here every day for the rest of my life. read more

decided to try this place out for lunch. The beauty of a wrap is that it is self contained. here, they cut it in half which caused alot of the filling to fall out. We also got a salad. there is a reason one should not heat chicken in a microwave. it makes it rubbery. If you go here, stick to smoothies and stay away from the food read more

Love this tropical smoothie the workers are always polite and very nice. When I do an online order I pull up 5 minutes after I place it and it's always ready to be picked up. read more

Just don't - I have never had more of an hassle to order something for twenty dollars in my life. Place order online then get a nasty phone call asking if I had the credit card and I'd for the order. Go to pick up the said order then lady rudely asks for it again and then snatches out of my hand. Just not worth it. Service is slow because in 2019 people are not used to showing id's for 6 dollar smoothies. Ridiculous. read more

If I could I would give this zero stars. I was the only one in the place for a few minutes and put my order in. It took about 20 minutes for me to get my one smoothie while other people walked in and ordered just like I did and was given their drink in less than 5 minutes. The 2 ladies behind the counter were filling orders for pickup and not tending to the people in the place. Then when I got the smoothie it was all watered down. This has never happened at the other places. I will not be coming back to this tropical ever again. I'll be driving an extra 10 minutes to get better service with more experienced workers. read more

Well, I have a few recommendations about Tropical Smoothie Cafe. 1) Don't go here during lunch if you're expecting fast service 2) almost every smoothie has sugar added to it unless you specifically ask them to omit it. Personally, I find it ridiculous when places that pretend to be healthy ruin their smoothies by adding sugar. There is plenty of natural sugar in fruit. Why add more?! read more

I've only purchased the smoothies, and they are quite decent. Pretty much what I expect in comparison to other TSC locations. The staff here seem to be pleasant, friendly and attentive. I usually go early morning, never had to wait more than 5 minutes for two smoothies and it's a quick stop for me. I especially love the location, easy access to the cafe and parking - makes it a very quick stop before my commute to work! Keep up the great work TSC. read more

The best customer Service ever. Zach, went out of his way to be helpful. Five stars

The service is amazing! I had an amazing encounter with a worker named Charlie! He was so nice and my smoothie was delicious!

Have been to this location several times and service hasn't gotten any quicker. Walked in being the only person in the store and ordered and then still waited for over 25 minutes while they took each new customers order before filling any of them. Always seems to be short staffed and food/drink quality suffers. read more

Haven't been to a Tropical Smoothie in years but 2 days ago I stopped at the one on Telegraph/Square lake road. Cute inside, clean, lots of customers, employees filling orders in a timely fashion, etc. Loved my Detox smoothie!! Absolutely delish! Fast forward to today. Decided to stop at the one on WOODWARD in BIRMINGHAM for the same smoothie for me and one for a friend ~ because hey, when you've found something delish, you want to share it!!! WRONG. This place wasn't as clean behind the counter (yuk), there were only 2 customers sitting that ordered already and 2 inline ahead of me. It took over 20 minutes to get my 2 detox smoothies!! WORST PART~ totally different from the taste & texture than the one I had from the previous location. This one was watery and tasted mostly like the crushed ice; the previous one was super thick, delicious and filling!!!!! So disappointing. Won't go back to this location EVER. Be Well Cafe or the Telegraph Tropical Smoothie Cafe next time. I was so disappointed I had to warn everyone. By the time i left with my order there was a line (no kidding!) of 15 people waiting. Good luck folks. read more
