Literally right across the street from our hotel. Reasonably priced and clean. Their main forte are bowl, wraps and flatbreads. Staff was attentive but not exactly friendly. Wife got a pesto chicken flatbread and I opted for the Caribbean wrap. Wife really enjoyed her flatbread. The flavor was light and the flatbread was soft and the fillings were ample. My Caribbean wrap was 10/10. Rice, beans, pineapple salsa with Caribbean spiced chicken. Would definitely order again. Perfect amount of heat and the flavor was spot on. Came with one side your choice of whole fruit or chips. With. Drink, we got out of there for $22. Not bad for Raleigh area. 4 stars for two reasons: it wouldn't hurt to smile and welcome your guests and 2) my wrap wasn't cut through the bottom. I tried tearing it but fillings were going everywhere. It's just a pet peeve of mine. Got up and got a plastic fork and cut it completely. But the flavors here are worth the trip read more

I wanted to post a positive review since I saw others were negative. My husband stopped in for a smoothie for me tonight. The staff were cleaning up and immediately stopped to help him. He told them I wasn't feeling well. My smoothie was delicious but most importantly, the staff member wrote a message to me to feel better soon! That was a very kind gesture and we both appreciate it!

While at work- ordered smoothies for my self and fellow nurses. The delivery never arrived! Called store- confirmed they were not picked up. Over a week has passed. Three phone calls and Corprate message - still no refund. Today I was told it was a system error. Something is not right. read more

I just picked up a açaí bowl to go because I was in the area and not near my normal place. Huge mistake. I was shocked how fast I got it, should have been a red flag. Got home, it's frozen solid. Everywhere else in town makes a fresh base. This base was a frozen chunk of base. It's chunky and ice crystal filled. At 12 bucks, it's also so much smaller than their direct competition n the area. Never again. Waste of 12 bucks! read more

This my last tropical smoothie! The staff have terrible attitudes minus the manager and the smoothies have no taste whatsoever! The consistency in making the smoothie is poor. This goes for the one in crossroads as well! The staff are nicer at crossroads but the smoothie is no better. All you taste is ice. When you are hungry having a poorly made smoothie is the last thing you want! This was my last smoothie. As you can see it's pale and not blended well. But more than that it has no taste! None! read more

I visited this location to pick up a drink for a friend. However, I will not be returning for myself and will recommend my friend find another location to visit. 1) Upon entering the store, you see a worker talking to someone with what seemed like a personal conversation. No greeting. No nothing. I walked around to the ordering station to be greeted by another worker that looked like they were already busy. I could see why they couldn't greet you as soon as you walked in, however, the other could have given a smile or something as a welcoming gesture. 2) This location was NOT clean. There was sooo much "stuff" by the mixers. All I could think about was cross-contamination with food having nuts in it that should not; someone with an allergy having a reaction not understanding why! If it was extremely busy I can see not having the time to do it. That wasn't the case! I was the only one and they only had two orders on the screen. read more

I had never visited a Tropical Smoothie Cafe before this but I must say I love their menu. It is very comprehensive and you can pretty much get any kind of smoothie you want! This location is small and in a shopping center. The staff was not super nice and I didn't feel extremely welcome, despite being the only person in the store. I was feeling sick so I got an Island Green smoothie with a few boosters. It was really tasty considering how much spinach and kale was it it. The prices, though, are high. You will probably have a better experience supporting a local business over getting a corporate smoothie here. That being said, just like McDonald's this place appears to offer consistency. Give them a try. read more

Beware, a bunch of high schoolers work here. I ordered 2 simple food items from the menu and neither of them came out correct. My chicken PESTO flatbread had 0 pesto on it, but instead had some orange sauce that tasted like honey mustard. I have no idea what it was. I also ordered a mixed berry greek yogurt with no almonds, but almonds were still chucked on top of it. I went and asked them to remake it and I got it back with peanut butter inside of it. Disgusting af. read more

I go here 2-5 times a week and they have literally never gotten my order wrong and the staff is really nice.

It was amazing I got a kiwi quencher and it was amazing and a quesadilla and they cooked it fast and you can choose chips with your meal

This is the tropical smoothie is in North Carolina right next to wal mart, barre, and various other shops. They did a good job on my smoothie and the manager was a little strange. She didn't greet me and looked at me strange as I took pics of the store. Can't you tell a yelper when you see one?! read more

Rude staff. Really bad. They never smile or anything. It's a turn off. I used to enjoy this place but not anymore.

This was my first time at this location, and first impression of this place was the customer service though the young lady was polite once she got to me, the store was empty she appeared to be prepping in the back which is fine, coming from years of customer service experience a simple good morning I'll be right with you would be great, as i stood at the counter for 2-3min she came over with no sorry for your wait, I can say she finished strong and got me what I needed, but my advice would be from the first entrance of a customer to the final exchange show each customer that they are a value, because majority of business comes from word of mouth. read more

I ate here on a Saturday afternoon with two other people. These are my thoughts and observations. - The smoothies are huge. - You can add a variety of vitamins to your smoothie for an additional charge. - We waited 10 minutes for our smoothies and I noticed some customers had been there longer. - The clerk gave us a coupon for our troubles. - I really enjoyed my Beach Bum. It wasn't overly sweet. Overall, I'd stop by if you need a quick snack. read more

Always friendly service and smiling faces! Exactly what you need after an intense Pure Barre workout. We usually head to this smoothie cafe after our workout to refuel our bodies. I'm a huge fan of their Peaches and Silk smoothie but I get yogurt mixed in instead of bananas just because I'm not a big fan of bananas. Definitely a good smoothie place. Consistently delicious smoothies, fast and friendly service, and if you're a member at Pure Barre you get 10% off your bill. read more

This location is not the usual Location we stop in. The place is a mess, the staff is very confused and rude. The smoothie had nuts that expired years ago. If you want the consistency of gravel in your smoothie and the fear of breaking a tooth then sure, check this location out. Otherwise, hit up midtown or holly Springs read more

The only reason it gets 2 stars is because the actual smoothie is decent. The quesadilla I ordered was a joke and the employees couldn't care less if you are there or not. Horrible place. Stay away. read more

I was going to Tropical Smoothie 3-4 times a week and last month I decided to try their sandwiches. The first one was really good so I went back on August 23rd. and ordered a smoothie and a sandwich only to see all the customers in line behind me getting their food and I am left sitting there. I finally spoke up and the girl went over to the sandwich prep area and my ticket had gotten forgotten. They threw a sandwich together and handed it to me ignoring my order. I was shocked when I got home to see that what I had was not even close to what I ordered. I went on their website and filled out a feedback to the store and quickly received a computer generated email saying they would get back to me soon. Nobody in Management felt it was necessary to contact me about my experience. I was shocked that after my feedback they did not even follow up with me. I did contact corporate and they found my sandwich to be unacceptable. I can't believe that local management did not address this issue me at all. read more

Train the staff on customer service. Disclaimer: I am not racist. I in fact am multi-racial. I experienced extreme racism, bullying, physical harm and fear growing up during childhood. I will be referring to racial bias/preference, which I consider RACISM! I can name names and kept the receipt but will not advance down that route. Yesterday a woman audaciously skips the line. I walk up asking for clarity regarding the name of the smoothie I keep ordering and suddenly the cashier says: "well since you don't know what you want already, can I take the orders of the guys behind you". O.o She also said all the smoothies have the same amount of protein and I proceeded to show her that is a false statement based on fact i.e. I showed her on the smoothie chart provided to me. Sorry to say this! I could not help but notice: all the staff behind the counter are black, and the woman who skipped the line, and the two men behind me. read more

We were so excited to see a smoothie place going in this shopping center! We finally were able to step in and give it a try, and we were pleasantly surprised! The cafe itself is very clean, and everything looks new and bright. The colors are very tropical too: bright orange and a nice ocean blue. There are some wooden benches and a wooden wall too. It does have a somewhat beachy feel inside. The service was polite and friendly. The young woman who took our order made sure to read it back to us to make sure everything was correct. They brought our drinks out to us when they were ready and the food came shortly thereafter. (I found this table service a nice bonus...I'm used to Jamba Juice places where someone just shouts your name and everyone is standing around waiting.) Another bonus: there are several seating options inside and outside! There are a variety of smoothies, and some special seasonal offerings too. I tried the acai smoothie and it did taste fresh and sweet. My husband had an option that was green that he really enjoyed because it wasn't particularly sweet! There are sandwiches, wraps, tacos and other quick bites here. It's nice that there are some warm food options and not just cold ones. There is also a kid food menu and a few kid-sized smoothies. Overall, our first experience here was a good one. I can definitely see us returning and trying some other smoothies and food. Everything seemed fresh and clean, and with friendly service it was a very positive experience. Welcome to the neighborhood, Tropical Smoothie Cafe! read more

New business in Cary! I randomly stopped in while waiting for car service nearby. I ordered a triple berry smoothie (was cheaper than expected as they have early bird specials) and was very pleased. Was cool, thick, and fruity. The "tropical" decor was warm and inviting, and there's plenty more than tropical smoothies (e.g. there's a PB and chocolate one as well as sandwiches). No need to travel to Smoothie King or Planet Smoothie - this will do it. Hope to see more traffic here soon. Try it out! read more

We love Tropical Smoothie. I have been a fan for over 10 years. The first time I ever tried it was when I lived in Chicago. When we found it there was one in Cary we had to go! The difference in this one compared to the one in my hometown is that it is a lot more "trendy". This may be how they are all designed now, but I love the layout compared to the one that I have been too. Very friendly staff and FAST service. We always go with the Health Nut and since we don't get it a lot it is hard to stray from our favorite. It is definitely worth the 30 min drive. I hope one is built in South Wake (preferable Fuquay). read more

I wish I could leave negative 5 stars, as they won't accept customers without masks, it's bullshit, I won't be eating here ever !!!!!!

Don't trust their hours on the website or the sign on the door because their hours are all over the place. They open and close when they want to. Night crew is super rude and the restrooms are always a disaster. I'd recommend the Apex location. read more

This location is not clean. When it opened it appeared to be well managed, not so anymore! Also no employees wear mask.

Yay! A new healthy place to grab lunch near my workplace! Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers sandwiches, wraps, salads, and of course...SMOOTHIES! There are such great options available that everyone is sure to find something they like. I've tried their tacos and they're all GREAT! My favorite so far is the Cilantro Lime Fish. A couple of my coworkers got the Korean BBQ tacos and said it was awesome. Also, they offer breakfast wraps all day long. I got their Caribbean C-burst smoothie and that was great...not too sweet. But, they did mention that they can make their smoothies without sugar if you prefer. The interior is very nice and modern looking. We were able to call our order ahead (as we had 6 people ordering at the office) and it was ready in less than 10 minutes. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

Tropical smoothie café is my #1 go to location wherever I travel and even when I am local to home. Unfortunately I chose the Cary location today (home-ish), where I was disappointed that the young man making my smoothie didn't see a need to actually fill my cup. This happens occasionally and while it is not really a big deal at all, I'm beginning to get annoyed by it because it is happening more often. Some locations do a very good job and appropriately fill it up. I've even had some locations throw the overflow from the blender into a smaller cup for me to take along as extra. For almost 6 dollars a smoothie, one might think it wouldn't t hurt them to put the extra 2 ounces in the cup. Jus' sayin'! I simply like to believe I receive a decent value from the establishment I choose to give my money. The only other comment I will make is a total sidebar that I hope the local manager will read. Every single lamp shade in that location needs dusting and could not have been dusted in weeks. didn't bother me because I obviously still ordered, but I'm sure it would deter some. read more

Smoothies are ok but the staff is ridiculous. I went there to get my 3 and 6 year olds a healthy treat and thought they may have something Keto friendly for me. When I asked about Keto friendly she was clueless which is fine. However as we sat and they enjoyed their smoothies we could here the staff constantly telling each other to shut up. They acted as if there was no one in the place with their behavior. High school staff at its finest. read more

Come here alot especially during my lunch breaks from work. Never a problem. The staff is friendly. Highly recommended.

Love smoothies-- but this shop has terrible service. Four times I have placed mobile orders, stood in the mobile order pick up line and have been ignored. Today, I went over to the checkout line, bought an additional item, told the cashier I was waiting for my mobile order and she let me stand there another ten minutes before someone went to the fridge to grab them. This is a training and management issue and I will not come to the Cary location again. Ignoring customers in the mobile pick up line while chatting with co workers is a bad customer experience... good food isn't worth the bad service read more

I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe in general. Island green smoothies are heavenly and the wraps are really good too. I regularly visit the franchise in Durham that's close to my office, and I had a craving today on the weekend so I stopped by the closest Cary location. The employees at this location seemed clueless and lazy. There was a line and only one person was (very slowly) attempting to take orders, while ignoring the entire line. After being blatantly ignored for over 10 minutes, I decided to get my lunch somewhere else. I haven't experienced such bad service ever. This location needs to get their sh*t together. read more

I was in the mood for a smoothie so I checked my Yelp app and this place was close by. What immediately struck me about this place was that every single employee looked unhappy. There were three or four people working and no one smiled the entire time we were there. Our order was taken by a lady with a dour expression and everyone else apparently felt the same way. Bummer. And my tummy was VERY upset about an hour after drinking my smoothie. Double bummer. read more
