I like the drinks here. They are expensive and contain a lot of sugar. The blended fruit already has sugar and it seems that they add more to it. read more

very nice staff, however the chocolate covered strawberry drink is very misleading. there is banana in it, and as known, banana is an extremely overpowering flavor. it was not listed as banana in store, which i feel should be told since the banana is so strong, i was truly upset to be honest. read more

Finally gave this place a try through Grubhub and I was pleasantly surprised by the menu variety. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I ended up getting several things to try. Peanut butter banana crunch flatbread- perfect mix of PB&B with a sprinkle of crunchy granola. Yum! Jalapeño corn side- Smoky and sweet, ten out of ten. Kale apple slaw side - fresh and crispy, slightly sweet Detox smoothie - I loved the refreshing ginger and greens mix, though I was disappointed too see that it was served in a styrofoam cup The prices were very affordable and the portions reflect the cost, which is a nice change from the typical large portions served nowadays. Smoothies come in a variety of flavors and can choose many add-ons such as flax chia and pea protein. Would return read more

Really poor customer service wouldn't give me a drink holder because I had two drinks and not 4. Makes zero sense. 20 dollars for 2 drinks and can't even get a drink holder. read more

I don't know what just even happened. My teenage daughter says this place has amazing smoothies. Just went in and grabbed a strawberry - banana smoothie. I feel like I'm in a bad sitcom episode. Especially after reading all of the great reviews. My smoothie is watered down and bland and doesn't taste good at all. I'm shocked. I'll stick with my own smoothies that I make at home. Much better. read more

If you are only wanting a smoothie great place to stop in. Looking for lunch or dinner I would not recommend the wraps as they do not add much chicken (strange texture) even when requesting and paying for extra. The other ingredients are also scant. It doesn't cost that much to make this food, and I don't mind paying fair market value if the restaurant offers a fair value product. read more

Unfriendly workers (perhaps owner/ appears they are all related) that don't appreciate your business. Too bad because this would have been a nice place to frequent. read more

My daughter and I had lunch here yesterday and were really disappointed in the quality and taste of the food and smoothies. I ordered the Thai Chicken Wrap with a side of Jalapeño Corn. My daughter ordered a Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Sun Chips. After ordering water we were talked into a smoothie when, after we initially declined the upsell, we were told that we could buy one and have it put into two separate cups. My daughter chose the Strawberry-Banana (Jetty Punch). Awful lunch. Just awful wraps. The worst part was the artificial tasting chicken. The cheap chicken was so terrible tasting that we both pulled it out of our wraps. It had the soy based flavor of cheap school burgers and an odd texture. The seasonings in the wraps were so mild that there was no way of telling it was a Thai or a Buffalo wrap. Neither one of us could finish even half of it. The jalapeño corn had not a hint of spice or jalapeño and was bland. Now to the smoothie. How can they call what they serve a smoothie and how do they rate so highly? We did see mostly teens and young adults coming and going and none ordered food. The smoothie has so much blended ice in it that it is just a slushy. A bland, watery slushy. Again, just very cheaply made. This is a place I would not return to again. read more

My mom was craving a smoothie and we happened to drive by this place. Looks fresh, clean and additional food items in case you want to eat (not just drink). I noticed the smoothie menu didn't have multiple prices so I asked the young woman behind the counter about their size options. There are non. It's one size only. And the cups are huge! There was no way I could drink all of that. The woman suggested a couple of things and I chose the kids size jetti junior which is a 12 oz. strawberry and banana smoothie. It was good, the bananas took over the strawberry taste. My mom had the peaches N silk and substituted the bananas for pineapples. She liked it but said the flavors weren't strong. read more

never fails for a good smoothie or a good açaí bowl! definitely a morning addiction of mine!

Wow! I can't believe I've never been here before when it's so close to home & work. I went with the Chicken Bacon Flatbread with a Blueberry Bliss smoothie. The flatbread was very flavorful & the pita light & fluffy. The smoothie was HUGE. I'd definitely hit it...again. read more

The first time I've tried Tropical Smoothie Café was in another State (Georgia) and was hooked. The only time I got to eat there if I traveled back home. Recently I just found out that we had a location in Cincinnati and was ecstatic! I truly love it here! The food is always good, smoothies are reasonable pricing, and the service is fast! Besides smoothies, they have sandwiches, salads and serve breakfast all day. The calories are listed next to the meal for those who are health cautious. With every meal you can get a smoothie for additional $3.50 (they only have one size, large). My fave is their flatbreads! I am absolutely obsessed with the Chipotle Chicken Flatbread which has the chipotle mayo, lettuce, bacon, sliced grilled chicken breast with a side of the Kale apple slaw (you can choose a side between that and chips). My Mr. was with me and he got the Tropical Chicken Salad Sandwich with Kale apple slaw as well. We split the Avocolada for our smoothie. The food is always good. Very consistent! There are perks as well! If you download the app, you get $5.00 off for every $50.00 dollars you spend (they may have changed it). Also if you look at your receipt, there is a survey you can take and you write a validation code so your next visit you can get a smoothie for $1.99. What a deal! I'll always rave about this place! read more

My colleague on Weight Watchers was looking for a good lunch spot outside of the burgers and Panera-like places in Blue Ash and we landed here. The place was busy during lunch but the line went quickly and we were able to find a seat easily. I ordered the pesto-chicken flatbread and a strawberry lime smoothie. Both things I ordered were good but I was still hungry after my flatbread. For a $10 lunch I wanted to be full. I've seen other colleagues come back to work with salads from tropical smoothie so I think I will get a salad or sandwich next time. The smoothies are legit, much better than Smoothie King IMO. read more

A smooth destination with a refreshing tropical taste waits for you in Blue Ash. Take a break from the current oppressive summer heat with a tasty smoothie and a delicious sandwich, flatbread, wrap, or bowl. No matter what you choose, you're certain to enjoy it. The first time I visited a Tropical Smoothie location, it was in Georgia, and I thoroughly enjoyed it all. So you can bet I was pleasantly surprised to find out there's a location here as well. Did I still enjoy it? Absolutely! The place itself is fairly simple but very clean. They offer a wide variety of smoothies along with a selection of sandwiches, wraps, bowls, and sides. They also have breakfast sandwiches and wraps served all day and a nice kids' menu. I opted for the tropical chicken salad sandwich along with a side of their kale apple slaw. My lady had the chipotle chicken flatbread and the kale apple slaw as well. (Trust me, that kale apple slaw is fantastic!) We also split a avacolada smoothie (avocado, pineapple, kale, spinach, coconut, and lime). The employees were all very friendly and worked super fast to get our order prepared and to our table. We definitely enjoyed it all from the first bite to last sip. So do yourself a favor and escape the heat with a taste of tropical goodness. Get your smoothie on! read more

I like this place. Lots of options! I've tried the Korean BBQ taco and Cilantro fish taco - Both were spicier than I expected but I like heat so that was a pleasant surprise for me. I'm not a huge fan of the Cranberry pecan chicken sandwich. When I ordered it there wasn't enough chicken salad near the edges so you're just eating bread. But the Moho mojo club sandwich was very delicious, great option. I got a Fruit medley with my to-go order and it made everything sticky because the fruit syrup was on the outside of the container and got everywhere. Small detail but not cool. Lastly, I've tried the Acai berry boost smoothie. Tasted good, can't complain. I'm not sure if everything on the menu fits with the tropical theme of the restaurant but I don't really mind. In my opinion this place is a solid choice for a quick bite to eat! read more

I'm usually not a fan of smoothies. I personally feel they are overpriced for what you get. However, my wife tends to like them quite a bit. Lol With that said, I tried the Watermelon Mojito, and it was absolutely delicious! The mint may have been a little strong, but it was a nice refreshing summer smoothie! The staff was friendly and efficient working through the customers who were waiting. read more

I was just driving by and found this place, looks like it had just opened! For lunch, I got jalapeño chicken and Korean BBQ steak tacos and the Acai berry boost smoothie. Everything came out really fast, less than 10 min. The tacos were okay, definitely needed a little sauce to boost the flavor. I asked and got some hot sauce, it was pretty good. The smoothie size is pretty big for the price, two of us shared it. It is soooo good, my new favorite smoothie! Definitely great to have this healthy new addition to Blue Ash. read more

If you need something quick and healthy for lunch this place should be at the top of your list. I haven't had a bad sandwich or smoothie yet. My go to meal is the Island green smoothie and the Cali chicken club. The apple kale slaw side is also a yummy item if you are looking for a side other then chips. read more

Wow I honestly don't even know where to start. This is by far my favorite place to eat at. If you are looking for a great lunch or just something different to eat, this is the place. One of a kind food and smoothies. The flavor choices in any of the menu items are incredibly well picked. The owner is the nicest person you will meet. I go out of my way to come and eat here as I travel around the area. If I am anywhere within an hour distance I will always make the drive. Excellent portions and well worth your money. Anybody I bring here loves it and reminds me about it on every conversation. Hope you decide to try it as I promise you that will thank me later. Bon appetite :) read more

I do not eat fruit with any regularity (can go years without apples, bananas, etc., don't even eat berries) but wanted to try something light and on the healthier side so hit this place up with a buddy for lunch. I have seen other health food places that want to charge an arm and a leg for a smoothie, so was pleased to grab a lean machine (strawberry and banana with fat burner and energizer) for under 6 bucks. It was great and I was full after consuming it. It was ready quickly and I was impressed with the service. The only thing (which is not a big deal to me) that could bother people is it doesn't say what the fat burner or energizer are but I'm sure if you asked the cashier they would be able to give you the details. read more

I gave 1 star for the service. Went there April 5th at 6:00p and the young lady there didn't bother to greet me, even when taking my order she walked over the the register and just looked at me. She didn't have to greet me but at the LEAST just say SOMETHING, a hi would've sufficed. I went there the day before and the same thing happened with a different young lady, not a hi or anything just walk up to the register and look at me. The 1st time I went she was busy with another customer so I was just looking up at the menu waiting for her to finish so I did not pay attention that she was ready waiting on me until another customer came in and said "are you ordering?" So I looked and the worker is just standing there looking at me! SO WEIRD!!! They're happy go lucky with the other customers as I'm walking in so be that way with everyone! I hope the owner sees my review and have a training on customer service and train the employees to greet customers & treat them all the same no matter their skin color. read more

I eat lunch here once or twice per week. The food and smoothies are really tasty, affordable, and healthy. I recommend the buffalo chicken wrap and the superfood smoothies. The staff move quickly and the lunch employees are kind and even remember my name. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is because I have been given other folks' meals on at least two occasions (I always get it to go) which is a pain. I just attribute it to the lunch rush and occasional human error. Overall, I like this restaurant. read more

I feel like I say this a lot (which invalidates what immediately follows) but I try not to review many franchise restaurants. As far as I know, there is only one of these in Cincinnati and while I generally prefer local places, I really enjoyed my visit to Tropical Smoothie. I wish they were a little closer to the city center, Blue Ash kind of feels like the middle of nowhere and is hard to justify the drive for a smoothie, but if we get a few more of these within city limits I'd be a regular! read more

Fresh & Fruity is the best way to describe this restaurant. I met a friend after work for smoothies instead of coffee, the joys of getting old & not wanting to drink caffeine after 5. We didn't really know what to expect but saw that it had good reviews on Yelp & decided to give it a try. I would have given them 5 stars but I had to dock them for the initial slow service, though they made up for it. There were several people in front of us & we waited patiently as they started taking care of their orders. There were 2 employees and I guess only 1 of them was allowed to work the register b/c while 1 kind of cleaned up the smoothie area, the other was preparing sandwiches. We just kind of stood there waiting at the register for over 5 minutes trying to make eye contact with the employee who wasn't actively making an order. However, once the employee who did work the register was able to take our order it was smooth sailing & fast service on our food. The quality of the smoothies was great. It actually tasted like real fruit & not sugar with a little added fruit that you get at other places. Plus, it comes in a huge cup. I wasn't expecting so much for under $5. It might seem weird to talk about the quality of the cup it came in but I must share that it was also great. The styrofoam cup kept it well insulated & the cup didn't sweat with condensation which was a huge plus. I got the Mango Magic & would definitely get it again. As far as food, I got a 1/2 club sandwich with a full smoothie & I was pretty stuffed. The sandwich was good and nearly presented on a little platter. My friend got the 1/2 Caesar salad & she was very happy with it as well. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would definitely go back for lunch or light dinner. The atmosphere was nice, not too loud or quiet that you feel you can't have a good conversation without intruding on someone meal. The employees were friendly & patient with first time customers. read more

It was time for refreshment during my delightful morning walk. The options on Reed Hartman Highway and Cornell were Starbucks and Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I picked TSC. The big poster on the window did what it was supposed to do. I nearly licked the red right off of the plastic graphic advertising the featured Watermelon Mojito Smoothie. I placed my order like I had just dragged myself across the Sahara Desert. I watched every move of the lovely attendant who prepared my fruity delight. After whipping up my selection she looked at it and paused for a moment. Clearly she had forgotten how large the Sahara in my head had become. "I'd like to redo it." She told me "It doesn't look right", she added. Well it looked GREAT to me, but I was mighty impressed with her ambition so I nodded my approval. The second time was the charm. I quickly paid and grabbed it before she saw further room for improvement. There were, after all, other customers awaiting their turn. I simultaneously stabbed the straw into the insertion point and secured my lips to the open end. It was well worth the wait! Rejuvenated, I dashed out to complete my journey. Go get one for yourself! read more
