The flatbread that they serve here is one of the worst food items you could ever get at a fast food spot. First of all, they put almost 0 chicken and it all happens to just be at the very bottom of the flatbread. They also put a a lot of cold cheese that never even gets close to melting. The bread itself is toasted way too long and just completely burnt. The açai bowl is decent. The way they serve. It gets the granola too soft by putting all the wedding ingredients on top of it. Service itself was fine, however, staff are just sitting at the tables that patronseat at, so it was pretty slow for any of them to come take my order. Ambiance is average. Nothing too fancy and the seating is decently clean. read more

Exceptional customer service, food and smoothes were delectable. The staff was friendly, inviting, knowledgable, and patient.

Smoothies good, service is really bad. I felt like I was doing them a favor by coming into the store and when I ordered I wondered why they were Talking and then over charged me by adding 3 smoothies instead of two. 20 minutes later I'm waiting for somebody to refund me. read more

Terrible service, giving us rude looks and not very social, like the person doesn't even want to work there.

Service was absolutely the worst! The girl only spoke to ask if I wanted whey or pea protein and then it was in a mumble so low I had to ask her to speak louder. Then it took 10 minutes to make 2 smoothies because she was moving at the pace of a snail. There were 2 others doing nothing and the manager seemed oblivious. This isn't the first time I've had a bad experience at this location but it will be the last as I will not go in here again. read more

Food was amazing, staff openly committed merchant fraud, charged me for a tip without consent or query. 15% tip typically wouldn't cause anyone problems, but ignoring the aspect of consent and choice is unacceptable. read more

I come here all the time. It has become one of my regular spots. I often get a smoothie plus the peanut butter banana crunch flatbread. It's a breakfast item but you can get it all day. It is pita bread with peanut butter spread all over it, banana slices and granola thrown in, plus drizzled with honey. So yum. Today I got the peanut butter cup smoothie with yogurt added. The yogurt makes any of their smoothies a lot creamier. I love it. I didn't know I could add yogurt til a couple of months ago. Best discovery ever. I tried the chicken bacon ranch flatbread sandwich last time I was here. It's very much more savory than the banana thing I usually get. It's a nice change up for me. It was good. I ate it all. That means I liked it. I like this place pretty good. It's conveniently located at the corner of Sam Ritt and 61. It's right next to Metro Diner in the same shopping center as Barnes & Noble. Try it out next time you're around. It's worth the visit, especially if you like smoothies. read more

Management might think about checking in on their employees at this location. They were making about 10 smoothies for their friends while ignoring actual paying customers. Not sure you can run a profitable business this way. read more

They took forever to take our order. They sat in the dining area eating their food and drinking smoothies as we stood there waiting. The girl who took our order had her finger in her mouth while taking our order. She then proceeded to make our smoothies without washing her hands. The 4 girls working October 18 talked for 10 minutes before they made our smoothies. They were complaining about their jobs and talking about walking out one day the whole time. Absolutely no greeting or any pleasantries. What looked like the manager had an AirPod in her ear while talking to a customer. The dining room was disgusting. Terrible experience. read more

Service is always rude. The drinks are always tasty. People act like they have an attitude every-time customers come in.

Love coming here but I would really check on the people working. Every time I go I wait for service while the kids working are jamming on their phone. If this is the social normal then I'll live but, I figured I'd say something. Otherwise great food! read more

I was craving a smoothie, so I thought I would give them a try. The service was fast and friendly. I ordered the detox smoothie, which was delicious! Just the right amount of ginger to give it a little bite. This may be my new go to smoothie! read more

I always enjoy a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie, and today was no different! I ordered a Jetty Punch and it was delicious. I feel like the prices have gone up, but I think that's everywhere. They were busy, but with about 5 people working, they were efficient. The employees were all very friendly. read more

Curbside Door Dash app quoted 2hrs but was ready in 20 We actually ordered curbside and went to pick up. Door dash App quoted 2 hours till ready...so we decided to just go there and ignore the time. We got there about 20 min later and the order for 10 of us was already bagged and ready. I had the jerk chicken and roasted sweet potato side with the Peanut Butter Cup smoothie. It was DELICIOUS!! I hope there are some in Dallas! I will be back. read more

Love tropical smoothie food, but customer service at this location today was terrible. Ordered curbside and no one came out after 10 minutes so I went in to pick up my order. 2 employees were behind the counter and completely ignored me, avoiding eye contact for 3 minutes while I stood there. Eventually someone came out from the back and handed me my order which was behind the counter and not at the designated pick up area. read more

If you complain about this TSC then crawl back into your hole. Food was fresh and the smoothies were really good.

I've been here quite a few times but always forget to check in! It's a great spot to grab a quick lunch or dinner. My go-to is a chicken quesadilla and Sunrise Sunset smoothie. The smoothies are so delicious and filling! The service is always fast. Parking is terrible in this plaza. It's always easier to park further away from the building and walk because it can be a tight squeeze right in front. read more

This has been often good but is going downhill fast. Got two smoothies, one for me and one for my daughter and both were awful. Both were smoothies we'd gotten before and were usually good but not only was it awful the staff was dismissive and just didn't care. It's too bad but I definitely will not come back again. read more

I was craving a smoothie today, so I stopped by to pick one up. I got the Lean Machine and my husband had a chia, banana, and peanut butter smoothie. Both were great! The Lean machine was fruity and sweet and the Banana one was more savory. It's exactly what I wanted! This location was very clean and fast. read more

When we came in it was moderately crowded and the staff seemed to be struggling with orders. Placed the order for the "make your own smoothie" and ended up waiting a good ten minutes for it. Staff was friendly just struggling with the orders. The smoothie was fresh and tasty, a tad over-priced, but worth the fresh ingredients. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Sam Rittenburg Boulevard in West Ashley is a well managed Tropical Smoothie location that is a consistent source for smoothies and quality food that is fresh. The location is convenient when you are in the area and need something quick. I have been happy with all of the orders that I have made from here. read more

Today I decided I will not eat at this place anymore usually I get a chicken pesto for some quick protein before gym if I don't eat breakfast @ home. But today since I took the last and first bite I knew something was off but I was like maybe it's because I sub the parmesan with pepper jack. I ate the first half before the gym and the rest after and during my workout I puked A LOT not normal later @ home I ate the other half and not even a hour later I needed to puke mine u I've ate this multiple time in the previous years i never puke regardless of what I eat or when I don't . before or post workout read more

Went in for the first time and had the Island Green and cannot wait to go back. Their line moved smoothly, even with social distancing and the staff was very nice. My sister and 8 year old nephew loves this place and now so do I. read more

Unfortunately no smoothie bowl, but the protein shakes are good. The place was clean, and the staff friendly.

I've been here on and off since they opened and I have never had any issues. I have done mobile ordering and ordered in the cafe, both with ease. I am always able to customize my smoothie and I really, really love their salsa that comes with the quesadilla. I've only had two smoothies (pom plunge and a sunshine or sunrise something) but they are so good it's hard for me to stray and try something else! The parking lot is a bit hard to get in and out if they are slammed, and it is always crowded in store during prime lunch time, but they work quickly and clear it out pretty fast. Definitely one of my go-tos for a quick and yummy lunch. read more

My first time ordering from Tropical Smoothie Cafe and I ordered through Uber eats. I ordered the green goddess plant-based wrap and received real chicken. I was supposed to get a side of sweet potatoes but did not receive it. I also ordered a hummus wrap but the lettuce was dark and wilted. I called the manager and she checked with the kitchen and confirmed that it was indeed real chicken that they put on my wr and said they were sorry but the cook is a new guy. She asked if I could come there to pick up another order. I explained to her that I'm at work and can't just leave, which is why I ordered delivery. She started talking over me reiterating that the kitchen guy was new. So I tried to get a word in to say regardless of how new your cook is, how can we rectify this situation? She let out an exasperated sigh and hung up on me and refused to answer when I called back. Wow! Very poor, I'll-equipped management skills. Inferior at best. I will never order from this ghetto azz restaurant again. Maybe the other locations are better. But this one on Sam Rittenberg is sub par. Warning: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS RESTAURANT! read more

I really really wanted to like this place and all the healthy options, but it was just eh for me. I checked in and while there were a few customers and what looked like a full staff of about 5 employees. I figured out what I wanted right away but the people I was with had a more difficult time because so many options looked good. I ordered my Caesar salad bowl with chicken and was offered an apple, an orange, or chips as a side item, then a chicken Caesar wrap with an orange as the side item, and last a chicken Apple club sandwich but with no bacon and no cheese and apple as the side item, and a sunrise smoothie. From when we placed the order, it was about 35/40 min wait until it came out. I always check my take out orders and thankfully I did because they forgot the side fruit that had been offered for all 3 orders. My salad was good, but it was way smaller than I expected and they forgot the dressing. The Caesar wrap was good. The chicken apple club came with the bacon that was requested to not be included. They then remade that sandwich for another 8-10 minutes. So long story short, this is a new business and they might need a bit longer to get in the groove because sadly the only thing that went smoothly was the smoothie. read more

I come here to get my usual of a mango smoothie with a chipotle flat bread and it is amazing! 10/10

Tropical smoothie is one of my favorite quick service places to eat - so when this location opened up, of course I had to try it out! The food is very consistent and tastes great. This place is always packed around lunch time, but I have never had to wait too terribly long for my food and/or smoothie. Be aware that parking can be hard to find, especially so during peak hours. There are a lot of businesses in this shopping center so I'll usually grab the first spot I can get even if I have to walk a little bit! read more

(Quick heads up my bf and I are vegetarian so we got the veggie hummus wrap and can't speak for any other wraps) When we ordered our 2 wraps and one smoothie, it took them around 30 minutes to give it to us. When they realized they forgot about us there wasn't any apology, they didn't say anything. The wraps were... weird. They were overly simple, and we easily recreated them at home. Overall mediocre and the staff seemed over it. read more

My wife and I really like Tropical Smoothie! I have been to the West Ashley location twice since they've opened. Once today and once when they first opened. I love that they have lots of healthy and fresh choices and that they have calorie counts of everything on their menu. We've had great experiences both times. Today, I had the buffalo chicken wrap which was on point! I think people are too quick to bash new businesses and typically only come to Yelp to complain. I just wanted to write a good review as I think most people really like this place. Welcome to West Ashley, we are happy to have you! read more

What a nice surprise! Jacked up prices! Not just a little bit either. My usual order, which had previously cost $6.83, now costs $9.37. This may not seem like much of a difference, but it's a nearly 40% price increase. I'll let them do the math on the difference between $6.83 and $0.00. read more

I love tropical smoothie but the staff is super rude it's amazing how people just don't even try to be nice anymore this is your job put on a damn smile and make your customers happy don't be rude and nasty read more

Rude. The employee who thought it was ok to sling water on a customer after being made aware of it- multiple times- NOT OK. Then, the food order was wrong. That's not an "off day," that's bad service. read more

I stopped in for a smoothie on the way to work this morning because I didn't feel like going to the "other" smoothie place on the same street, and this one is closer to my office. I've been to a TSC before, but this is the first one in West Ashley, so I kind of knew what to expect. I ordered the triple berry oat smoothie because I was feeling like I needed something really healthy today. It was prepared quickly and checkout was smooth. My reasons for not giving a 5 star? When I walked in, I was barely greeted because they were working on the one other customer order in the café, and when I checked out, there was no discussion about if I had the TSC app, was a rewards member, or anything brought up to address the potential for me to come back. Small stuff, I know, but it makes a difference and is what would keep me from going to the "other" smoothie place up the street. The smoothie was really good though, and I'll probably be back when I catch a craving again. read more

There was a odor when I walked in a 7 am. This is my first time trying Tropical Smoothie. There were also flies in the building. The smoothie tasted good! read more

I feel like every time I go here I need to watch how they make my smoothie. I order no sugar and protein every time (3 times now) 2 out of three I noticed they didn't add protein and the last time they added sugar. The employees are always nice enough but they really just don't seem to care enough to read the ticket. After I ask them if there was protein added ( even though I know there wasn't ) they say "it wasn't on the ticket" then I ask them to read again and they find it. Usually I have to go to work so can't have them remake it. I gave them 3 strikes but now they are out. read more

Tropical smoothie cafe is served at my high school every friday and I come here at least once a week and i am satisfied every time! Their smoothies are delicious and very healthy, their food is made in perfect portions, their food is fresh, and they make it very quickly! And above all of this they also have additives for food and smoothies such as peanut butter, chia seeds, whole grain oats, etc. I highly recommend tropical smoothie cafe! read more

Terrible smoothies and terrible service. The employees were sitting around on their phones while I was trying to place an order, I asked for no sugar in my smoothie and they added sugar so they had to remake it again and I was late for work because of this. Will never come back to this location. Also I was very concerned for the cleanliness, I got the avocalada and the avocados were brown! I had to ask them to get fresher avocados. Will never be back. read more

The food and service is amazing!! I just wished they didn't use plastic packaging and styrofoam cups.
