One of the few reasonably-priced options in the area that's open on Sunday! Staff is friendly & efficient. Food is fresh and made to order and took just a couple minutes. I appreciate having the calorie content on the easy-to read wall menu. The "flatbreads" on the menu are actually folded in a soft, grilled bread resembling naan or pita. My chipotle flatbread was generously stuffed with chicken, bacon, tomato and tangy sauce. Not much heat at all. Blueberry bliss smoothie is light and fruity. Both were super tasty. There's cozy seating inside and out, but no shade on the metal chairs outdoors (ouch.) Metered street parking, and easy walking distance from the Ritz-Carlton. Room for improvement: 1. there are two single-occupancy bathrooms, marked MEN and WOMEN. There's no need for these to be gendered. 2. no recycling available, and drinks are in foam cups (which I can't recycle at home either). read more

Here for work for a few months and this location is consistently very bad. Almost always takes 20-40 minutes. Employees are always on FaceTime, texting, listening to music, and will not greet customers due to their phones. read more

I stopped in here with a friend on a hot summer day. The cafe was nice and clean and very cool after being outside for an hour or so. Since this was my second time at this chain (different location) I had to review the updated menu. We settled on Mango Magic and Blueberry Bliss. It was a bit icy more than smoothie in some parts of my smoothie but it still got consumed, nonetheless. read more

I got the açaí bowl with Nutella for lunch when I was in the area. All the ingredients were super fresh and the açaí bowl was pretty frozen which I enjoyed since I took it to go and it held up. Quick and easy service. read more

I work directly across the street from this location and every time I tried it has always been really good. I typically go for lunchtime and get the smoothie and wrap combo which also comes with chips so it's a really good deal. It's always made fresh and fast and I've never had to wait because my order has always been ready upon arrival. The place is kept really clean and the customer service is always friendly. I've never had any issues at this location And now I am a frequent buyer. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite when I was in the area. Very cute and spacious with outdoor and indoor seatings. I only got the hot chicken wrap to go ( don't remember the name). It was better than I thought. Service was okay. read more

On our travels through St Louis, we decided to stop by Tropical Smoothie Cafe that was close to the hotel we were staying in. I walked in to see 3 women working behind the counter. It appeared that they were busy making the online orders; HOWEVER, I stood at the counter for several minutes before anyone spoke to me! 2 of them looked right at me and still didn't speak. They were having a personal conversation while getting the orders ready. I guess this morning while I was getting my dressed I accidentally put on my invisible outfit today. Silly me! Smoothies were good and i can definitely appreciate hard workers trying to get orders out in a timely manner, so that's why they get the 3 stars. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Outside/ entrance - Sandwiches Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

Customer service was great and that's what that star is for. Ordered a peanut butter cup smoothie and a jerk chicken bowl. The smoothie was very rich and the bowl was very bland. There was only a spoonful of rice, 90% of it was lettuce, and the only real flavor was the jerk sauce. I personally can't handle spicy, but the sauce was too good not to try to keep eating. There were a group of ladies sitting outside eating so maybe something else on the menu is better. read more

The smoothies taste great, but when my friend asked for a water cup while we waited, he was rudely denied by the manager. Needs kinder management but all other employees were pleasant. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch or dinner -- and honestly, I'm surprised by the reviews. I've had nothing but good experiences with Tropical Smoothie Cafe. As a vegetarian with a severe dairy allergy, I often find myself faced with limited options. Still, the ability to customize every part of my meal is one of the things I love most about this place. My go-to is the Caribbean Jerk wrap without the cheddar cheese and substituting plant-based protein for the chicken with the Sunrise Sunset smoothie - sub-Splenda. I'm not going to pretend this is the healthiest option on the menu, but I'm fighting a brain tumor, and while I've lost my appetite for nearly everything, this is something I still crave consistently. read more

Quick smoothie place. Pretty liquidy smoothie but the taste was good. How's the food here? read more

The service was awful. The whole vibe was off the minute I walked in. It took the employees like 1 and 30 minutes just to take my order and when they did everything was wrong or not made properly. Tateum was so rude and honestly wasn't the best server there which made the experience suck more. The food was meh but I would not come back. read more

My friend and I headed to Tropical Smoothie Café after a jog in the park. I'm not sure if St. Louis has Jamba Juice, but it definitely gives off a colder more empty version of a Jamba vibes if that makes sense. Anyways, my girl had highly recommended their wraps, but unfortunately, it was the first and last time I was there. When we were served our food, the girl who gave us our smoothie didn't secure the lid, and it spilled on our table. She said sorry very nonchalantly and just gave us napkins, and she had on extremely long acrylic nails. Very cute, but I really hoped she didn't handle our food or make our smoothies. The wrap was delicious. My experience there is what prompted me to leave 3 stars. read more

I ordered a wrap and smoothie via DoorDash. The smoothie was the wrong order and clearly contained bananas which I am allergic to. The wrap was not appetizing, so I couldn't finish it. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Smoothie with bananas - Sandwiches Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

The employees seemed very mad and had no customer service skills. They did not say hello or greet anyone and had constant angry expressions.

Not a bad spot to grab a quick lunch for a good price! Good sandwiches and pitas, and of course the smoothies are pretty good too. Be aware the smoothies are very sweet! read more

The service was good, but the smoothies... not so much. First of all, they sweeten their smoothies, which defeats the purpose of the health benefits of the drink the cafe is named for. I asked for mine not to be sweetened, and now I know why they do it: the smoothies simply aren't good. I got the blueberry smoothie without sugar and it is mostly ice. Thats not a smoothie, it is a slushy. Also, there is no fresh fruit in the smoothie. At least mine didn't come from concentrate as some of the other "fruit" ingredients did, but I'm not sure I'm better off because the drink is just so bland. There is like one handful of frozen blueberries, and 3x as much ice and water added. If you want to spend $7 on a mediocre slushy, this place is fine. If you want a real smoothie, you are far better off not having one at all than getting it here. read more

Come here often for lunch during the week. I order ahead on the app and it's always ready on time. Food and smoothies are great! Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I used to go to these all the time when I lived in Melbourne, Florida I'm happy to see one here in the St. Louis area now.

We placed an order through the website and picked it up ourselves. We ordered 6 of the lime straws but they were not in the bag. We understand that happens but when trying to call and get our refund, the phone said "this voicemail box is not set up". We had no way of reaching anyone, called back the next day and was told the general manager would call us back. Still no call so we called back again and were told they didn't call back because they assumed is was a Uber Eats order or another delivery service and we needed to contact them for re-imbursement. Spoke to someone who said they were a manager and explained we picked the order up ourselves and ordered through the website, they stated they would have the general manager call us back. Still nothing...... Make sure to check your order BEFORE leaving the building because trying to get credited back for something we didn't get is not working. read more

I'm glad a place like this popped up in the heart of Clayton. Fresh fruit smoothies (well priced), good sandwiches and wraps. The owners are such kind and generous people. It was clear to us that they're working tirelessly to do a good job and provide quality for their customers. Impeccably clean inside with great upbeat music. The peanut butter and banana breakfast flatbread is yummy. Turkey bacon ranch sandwich was light but filling (fresh ciabatta bread too). Free parking in the garage was a bonus. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their smoothies, starting with Orange Ginger Glow! read more

I cannot say enough great things about the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The food is healthy and delicious and the owners are fantastic. We order dinners from them every year during tax season, and they are responsive and quick. We added smoothies to the dinner line up this year and they were a huge hit (get the Sunrise Sunset). Would be a great place anytime to grab a meal or smoothie! read more

Delicious food for a great price. A variety of toasted sandwiches, flatbreads, wraps, and quesadillas. Smoothies incredible. read more

I wanted to like this place and honestly didn't even know it was there since I usually just go to Kaldis and another shop over in the Carondelet space. But, just walking in I knew it didn't belong in this high end location. Staff really couldn't have cared less if I was there. Being in the area often I expect a better attitude and top customer service. The wait for a smoothie of 15 minutes when there was only one person in line in front of me is silly. Smoothie is just okay. More ice than necessary. Not familiar with this chain, but its not for me. I'll be surprised if this lasts too much longer in its current location. read more

I order from this place via uber eats at least three times a week. They almost always forget my lime or strawberry edible straw. Even though it is ALWAYS on the order ticket. Which leads me to further believe that they probably don't even get my smoothie order right. Those straws are not expensive, but not receiving them does start to add up. And anything that you pay for, you are supposed to get. It is frustrating. Especially when I call them to rectify the situation and nothing is ever done. Count your days Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I would give it zero stars if I could. read more

The owner does not care at all. They never make anything right. I've been overcharged, shortchanged, constantly get my order incorrect, cold or up charged for add ons that I don't receive. Myself and I believe my entire 400 and something firm are done with them for the most part. They are convenient but we order from them all the time and they screw up 9x out of 10. I give feedback too and I have never once been contacted or received an apology. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Was about to take another bite of my sandwich and noticed something in it. Pulled this sticker out it. Nice quality control. - Sandwiches Near Me - Clayton, Missouri

I've been here twice and both times, I experienced the worst customer service. No surprise that there is barely any customers when I've gone. No plans to ever come back here. Too bad...smoothies are decent, but I'm not sure about the quality of the ingredients either. read more

This is one of those locations that destroys the brand... no fruit--all ice smoothies... wrap was all rice & lettuce & corners folded tight so it was mostly tortilla with no ingredients... plus the prices are much higher than normal--instead of $5.99 for a smoothie it's like $6.79 so, it was $30 for 2 people... My sunrise sunset smoothie is right in front of me making me want to barf! Sheesh! I wish they had a business consultant that would teach them good food equals repeat business and repeat business is the only thing that will make a business profitable... an extra scoop of ice will never make a business profitable... don't punish the customers because your rent is too high!!! Ugh!!! read more

Amazing food and smoothies but horrible people. The staff if slow and rude. They take longer than needed and sometimes forget about u and your food or drink. I still go there all the time evan though the people Theo loooooove my kiwi quencher. mmmmmmhmhhhhhhh read more

Best smoothie ever!! I have been to a million Tropical Smoothie Cafe's all over the east coast; I have never had anything but a fantastic experience. I order the same thing every time and it has never once tasted different, they are very consistent with the recipe! Not only is it a great place to get a refreshing drink but a quick, delicious lunch! read more

I have always loved Tropical Smoothie and was excited when it moved into the neighborhood. Everything started off ok with this location, but lately it's been off. The past 3 times my order has been wrong and while that's not too big of a deal, when I've let the staff know, they have been less than helpful or apologetic. In one instance the staff member even told me "well you must have ordered wrong because it says wrap, not bowl on the ticket." I'm hopeful that Tropical Smoothie can get it together and train the staff to be more attentive and more accommodating, but I won't be back for a while. read more

Fresh and amazingly tasty smoothies and food. Good variety to choose from. Combos are the best.

Great place for a healthy and quick breakfast. Service was great and good was delicious! Smoothies are top notch too!

Great prices and helpful staff. Great place to grab a smoothie and a bite to eat for under $15. Welcome to the community TSC

I placed an order through the tropical smoothie cafe app. When I arrived (10 min after time ready) I did not see my food in the cube. I asked the associate Shamyra about my order and she wasn't helpful AT ALL. She explained to me that she did not see my order in her system. I proceeded to show her my order confirmation and let her know what I ordered. She let me know that she couldn't do anything for me and that it will be a loss if she was to make my order. At that time I am baffled because not only did I show her my order confirmation, tropical smoothie cafe has already taken my money. She also was trying to explain the system to me and being a paying CUSTOMER the system is the least of my worries. She proceeded to go back and forth with me on how she was not going to remake or take care of the order I had already paid for. Finally the owner (without urgency) came over and received my order. It took maybe 15 more minutes before I was even "taken care of". I do understand I went at prime time lunch and sometimes things can get behind BUT the service I received today was UNACCEPTABLE. I love this restaurant and was so excited to have one in STL but I am VERY DISAPPOINTED. This is nothing like the Tropical Smoothie Cafe I've previously visited. read more
