Stopped here for lunch after an appointment. First time customer and it didn't disappoint. I had a Bahama Mama smoothie and a chicken bacon ranch flatbread and both were amazing! The staff were very friendly when taking our order and bringing out our order. The establishment looks small on the outside but was very roomy on the inside. Tables and bathroom were very clean as well! Will definitely be back when in the area again. read more

I was looking forward to eating my chicken caesar super greens wrap before heading to a late evening meeting and tipped on my order, however I didn't receive the super greens I was looking for. Instead, my greens were brown, some pieces almost as brown as the chicken. I took it back and the employee offered to remake it. I told her it was okay and was hoping to have a better experience the 2nd time. I get all the way home, take a bite and something didn't taste right. Brown and spoiled lettuce, AGAIN. this isn't just unprofessional but it's not healthy for your customers to consume this. I will not be returning and will continue to purchase my healthier "fast food" options from Roots, Mezeh and Chipotle. The pictures are of the remade wrap. read more

My smoothie was great. So was my yogurt bowl. I loved the vibe of the place. The employee was nice too.

5 STARS HANDS DOWN for this TSC location. I came here a couple times over the past month - once pre-move in for the 20-21 school year and a couple times during move-in. With the Covid restrictions for eating establishments, this shop has it down. The kids running this place are superb. Super nice, polite and respectful to the 'older crowd' aHEM! lol and quick quick quick. No dilly dallying. Everyone is pulling their weight behind the counter to get everyone served, in and out. Impressive. I've always liked TSC in general. I love their Thai Chicken Wrap - soooooo goooooood. Just the right combo of ingredients and the Thai peanut sauce is just the right amount of oomph to kick up the wrap next level. I have them make it cold, not warmed. Try it that way. So good! Add a TSC smoothie but OF COURSE. you're not going to TSC and NOT getting a smoothie! My favorite is the pina colada knock off - Tropicolada. So good! But truly what makes this place special are the student workers. You guys ROCK IT and make the place ROCK. Thanks for all you do and for hanging in there throughout this pandemic. It's a crazy crazy world out there but you guys have managed to give us something to smile about so THANK YOU and keep up the good work!! Oh - and STAY SAFE! read more

I normally LOVE Tropical Smoothie. It has been my go-to all undergrad. Lately, I've been catching little shards of plastic when drinking my smoothie. I let it go the first time, thinking it was a fluke. Today, I ordered yet another smoothie and to my dismay found little shards of plastic! I felt obligated to share -- some people may not notice when drinking, but my sips catch about all of the pieces, with the rest getting caught in my teeth! I was about two sips in when I gave up and wrote this review. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - They curl like a ribbon when I run my fingernails on them - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I love the tropical smoothie here! It's very convenient to get to as there's convenient parking right next to the restaurant and right next to campus! My "go to" drink here is the açai berry boost smoothie under the superfood smoothie category! This smoothie blends together rich flavors with a nice mellow taste. Quite soothing I'd say! This place is perfect after a rough night, a relaxation beverage, or even something to cheer you up for the day! I just came here to celebrate myself after I completed my first final for the spring semester of my sophomore year! I hope you had a "sblended" time reading this! read more

Just another typical Tropical Smoothie except this one is so healthy they don't even have a soda machine or a water fountain so you can get some water. I came in here for a breakfast smoothie and it took a second for someone to come out of the back. They were quick and polite and even filled up my water bottle, though I guess normally it's not allowed? I think they should offer free water in a water bottle at least but I guess that's a lot to ask for a business. read more

Extremely slow service. Took 25 minutes to get a smoothie. Would not recommend if you don't have a lot of time.

Consistently understaffed, funky policies, and poor customer service. I typically love tropical smoothie but man this location is rough. Have been told on several occasions that the store is too busy and that I'd have to come back later, that I have to order online despite being the only one in the store, or today that it would be a 20 minute wait before I can even come up to the register and place an order. Employees seem stressed and this causes them to be rude to guests. I think I'm giving up on this location ever getting their lives together read more

My son got sick off strawberry banana smoothie yesterday. The berry oat and island green weren't as good as usual.

Worst quesadilla I've EVER had. Pathetic and highly disappointed. Could've bought a tortilla from the grocery store and it would've tasted the same. Would've been cheaper than $5.99 too. Will never eat at tropical smoothie again. read more

It's tropical smoothie-- they've obviously taken upon themselves to have a massive rebranding. Props. Here's what keeps me coming back to this place: the.vegan.chicken.substitute. I don't know how or why or when this place got hip to beyond meat, but if you are vegetarian and want to feel like a normal person, go here. Smoothie favs include bahama mama, orange carrot thing, green one, and the acai blueberry one. Food favs are the cali chicken club ALL DAY BABY!!!!!!!!! HOLD THE BACON AND ADD THE VEGAN CHUCKEN ILY read more

We ordered online for our son and everything was ready when I arrived. I decided to order a smoothie for my wife, anything with Mangos. In the meantime I mentioned that I was looking for a low sugar option for myself. The young lady went out of her way to help and told me all of the option she had. I was very pleased with the extra effort and the end result. Thank you! read more

Yesterday I came in for a smoothie and I was shocked by the poor management that I witnessed and the lack of team cooperation. I came in for one smoothie and I saw this one youngish looking blonde girl working, doing everything by herself. At first I thought she was alone, but I later saw at least two other employees in the back, and the girl in the front was doing everything by herself and a little help would've been great and probably helped the huge crowd of people waiting for smoothies and food. I waited a while to get my smoothie and when I realized that someone could've helped get me my order faster I got increasingly pissed. I understand that this generation nowadays don't want to work. Tropical Smoothie: get better employees that want to work and help each other out. That girl seemed overwhelmed after having to do everything such as the register and making all the food. my order should not have taken so long. The smoothie tasted good at least read more

Had enough time to consider downloading this app. Been here 20 minutes just for 1 smoothie... I see 5 other people in there waiting just as long read more

I ordered online, when I got there my food was made just as I walked in so that was nice. However I got home (3 minute drive) and the smoothie tastes like water (I ordered a Jetty Punch). The flatbread I ordered was also folded poorly with half the chicken hanging out. Just seems like the workers dont care. read more

Glad to get a good smoothie place! Tropical Smoothie Cafes are a fave when we see one. The food is light and small portions. The smoothies are the main attraction for us. Service was a little slow but hopefully the training will continue and kinks get worked out. Give them a try! read more

The smoothies here are usually so bad. Unless they are made by the general manager, they are straight ice and have no taste.

I love tropical smoothie and always go to the location in my hometown. This tropical smoothie has the longest wait time. It took 30 minutes to get a smoothie, I understand that they may have a lack of staff but I swear they just move slow. I am usually very understanding but this has happened every single time I have gone too this location and it is very unfortunate. read more

I love going to this restaurant! It always puts a smile on my face when I am sad! I generally get a bahama mama and flatbread by an employee named Zoe. She always knows that I do not like the tomato and lettuce on my flatbread without me reminding her. She knows exactly how I like it when I get there, and never fails to compliment me! The workers here are truly a blessing. They always keep the bathrooms and facility so clean and never have anyone wait in line for long periods of time. They have a great assortment of chips and sides. Thank the lord for this restaurant and everyone have a blessed day! read more

I"ve been going to Tropical Smoothie for years back home and I always order a cordon bleu wrap which is technically no longer on the menu. They always make it and it's not an issue. Today I went and asked for one and the girl had no idea what I was talking about, My worst nightmare, time has caught up. However she proceeded to ask me what was in it and give it a shot anyways so to the girl working the food side today 1/9/2017 in the morning YOU KILLED IT! it was delicious! i'm posting here so your boss sees it. read more

I usually order my smoothies through the app and pick it up to "skip the line". But guess what? The last two times I've done this, they're super busy and make me wait until someone is free to hand me my order from the fridge. Is not like Starbucks where you pick up your order from the desk. So I didn't skip the line at all... I also have to add that the last time they got my order wrong, and I didn't realized it until I got home. So I made a call to the store and the lady was so nice and offered me a new one. I drove back to the place and got the right one this time. read more

I came in this morning and asked Casey for a Blimey Limey with a ton of pea protein. She did not disappoint. This smoothie is bomb.com, thank you for hooking it up Casey! read more

Smoothie is good, but the young woman who took my order was very rude. I was actually shocked how she wasn't listening to me and had a very curt attitude. read more

I love tropical smoothie and when I found out one was coming to Blacksburg, I was ecstatic. Luckily, this new location did not disappoint. For being such a new location, the service here was great. While there are a few kinks, I'm sure they're going to get everything worked out soon, as they're not even a month old! I'll definitely be coming in regularly for a beach bum with dark chocolate and a turkey bacon ranch sandwich. read more

Barely flavored ice at a higher price than Smoothie King (if you can believe anyone could cost more)!

Do NOT come in here within 1 hour of their listed opening time (7am/8am)! They won't be open. I mobile ordered to pickup at 7:30am and the store was closed when I got there. My credit card was still charged for it regardless and I've had to call customer support twice (once to report, once to get an update because it's been a week and they haven't responded/refunded me)! Some other Google reviews suggest that other people are having the same problem when they go within an hour of opening: they're not open!! I never write reviews but made a Yelp account just to warn others about this so you don't have to deal with the same problem. read more

This place is great! Quality smoothies for a good price! It was a little crowded when I went but I think that is due to it being new. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Glad there is a delicious smoothie bar close by wish there was more variety in smoothie choices or easier ways to make then dairy free.

For a fast food joint, the dudes working are nice, place is clean, chia banana boost is great!

Update your closing hours on the website!! It says 11 pm on Friday's and we pull up at 10 pm and they're closing, doors locked! The sign out front even says 11, yet the doors were still locked. This is ridiculous, make the hours correct or stop closing early!! read more

This is the best tropical smoothie I've ever been to, the workers are all so polite and accommodating. There's a smoothie that was discontinued months ago but they will still make it as long as they have the ingredients without any hesitation. The manager is wonderful and always willing to correct any problems with a smile. read more

I downloaded Yelp and made an account just to write this review. I am very disappointed in this smoothie place. I went there a couple of weeks ago because I heard it was pretty good, and I got my smoothie and left. Not only was the smoothie bad, but a week later I heard that the strawberries they served there are linked to cases of hepatitis a. So not only did I have strawberries in that garbage smoothie, but yesterday I had to get a hepatitis a vaccine. I don't think I can go there again, I am deeply disappointed. I absolutely do not recommend, but the hepatitis problem is fixed now apparently. read more
