I come to this location frequently and usually never have issues. However, today when I came in one of the employees was bashing one of their coworkers and being rude for no reason while other employees watched and said nothing. This same employee made multiple comments to customers about "poisoning their food" while this was said as a joke, some people may not take it that way. A shift lead/manager was there during this time and didn't say a word. I'm very disappointed in the staff here. read more

there was a glare on the floor that i really hated. ruined the vibe and also my kiwi quencher tasted like the styrofoam cup it was in and even though i didn't mind i was still sad. i will be visiting again but i will complain about it every time i go. get rid of the ceiling fans it hurts my eyes. nobody yelled at me for having my crocs off so that's why it's at least 2 stars. beachy vibe serving realness though read more

So sad. Last Saturday we ordered at 7:30. we were the only customers in the store. the cashier was on his phone and didnt look up until i asked to order. one smoothie we received quickly. We asked twice about our food. once after 20 minute and then again once it had been 30 minutes. After 40 minutes we received our "ok" food. Not worth the wait. I had two more coupons to use for the future but i tore those. I wont be back. I really love the island green smoothie and have been going to T-smoothie for years. But no more.. read more

Love it! Lots of natural light, brightly colored, friendly service, open spaced atmosphere. Beach vibes in the to-go waiting area. Smoothies are so good, large sizes! Fresh tasting food. I love the maple kissed sweet potatoes and chicken quesadillas. read more

Came here after a run with my friend. Perfect place to get hydrated and nutritioned (is that a word?). The lady at the counter greeted us and explained to us what's the most popular items. I got a turkey BLT sandwich (her favorite), and a green smoothie with the least calories. My smoothie did not have additional sugar in it, so I really liked that. My sandwich was pretty good, nothing too impressive, but it was quite good. They also gave us some hot sauce! Yay! Lol. read more

My wife and I ordered a salad and a flatbread. We were the only car in line. We pulled up to the window at 7:55, we did not pull away from the window with our food until 8:20. If o had not already paid the $20 for said food we would have left. Very slow service. To top it off they brought 2 orders to the window that were drive thru pick ups that weren't ours either! There were 5 people working at this time, surely the speed of the service could have been way faster! Food was good once we finally got it read more

once i got my food i checked my bag to make sure it was all there, which it wasn't. i sat in the drive thru, didn't even pull away and it took them almost 7 minutes to ask what i was there for. will not return to this location. read more

The food is good, I ordered takeout a few months ago and the service here was very helpful, even for beginners like them.

The smoothies are good, but the menu keeps getting more corporate and generic. They've taken off some of the unique items they used to have. Aside from the food, I really wish the staff would wear masks. Not 1 worker had a mask on. With the loud music and blenders going, the staff have to speak loudly to communicate, and they're talking right over the prep areas and food ingredients. As a corporate organization, you would expect them to have better safety measures in place. read more

Great place for a quick lunch! Great variety of different smoothies you can order from. They also have a pretty good selection of sandwiches as wraps as well. They also have combos where you can get a smoothie and choice of sandwich or wrap. I always stop by here for a refreshing smoothie , especially when it's hot. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We came here for lunch and after waiting for 25+ minutes, they said they must have lost it. We had to leave to get back to school so we asked for a refund. We left with a refund and a "free" bag of chips. Nothing else for the major inconvenience. read more

Not to sure how u feel about smoothies maybe it's a texture thing, but when I first went here I tried the pumpkin pie smoothie... Not to back tasted the spice tasted the pumpkin but it wasnt for me.

Highly recommend! Great food and smoothies but can be incredibly slow during busy hours.

Repost, The bearded man working the window at 2:18 pm on 2/23/2024 was extremely rude. I guess he wasn't capable of grabbing a $20 bill that was folded or saying have a nice day or anything required or expected of a service worker. The not so pleasant experience was made worse when I asked for a drink carrier (Who legitimately thinks that anyone ordering more than two drinks wouldn't want a drink carrier) instead of speaking, like a normal person, he slammed the window yet again, as if I was asking him to do something out of his job description. After the smoothies were put into the carrier, the bag was slung out the window, and the door was slammed yet again. To make it even worse as I was still sitting there I heard him yell something about people needing to get their shit together. Whether it was me that triggered this response or something going on within the business he needs to drop it when that window opens especially considering this is a locally owned establishment. I felt like my purchase was not appreciated and worst of all the last name on the receipt matched the last name of the owners... I also find it peculiar that they will respond to Google reviews giving them one star rating if you're vague otherwise they feel no need to make things right. It's sad that it's mostly made up of high school students that are underappreciated and yelled at a lot. read more

What a amazing place. I have to admit I'm a total smoothie king person. However Tropical Smoothie Cafe has my vote on places to go for a quick , healthy, low cal stop. Since my discovery I've been at lest once a week. I first ordered the blimey limey - super tasty smoothie that has OJ strawberries and some lime juice. It gives you the perfect pucker. Tropical smoothie also offers additives to your smoothie. Not as extensive as smoothie king but enough options to make you feel as if you are really living it up healthy style! The best part about this cafe is that they offer food. I've order a wrap , flatbread and quesadilla throughout a variety of visits and not a single one disappointed me. Not to mention that when ordering food you can a a smoothie for only $3.75. Something that I cannot get enough of is the kale apple slaw. Never have I've ever had such a delicious slaw, a total must try for all the kale lovers out there. Overall this place is a must for a quick lunch , or snack if you are always on the go and don't want to have greasy fast food. I recommend this place to all those looking for a healthier option that is not only tasty if extremely satisfying. The good thing too is that you can spend around $8-9 bucks for food and a smoothie or just around $5.00 for just a smoothie and my fav, the slaw is only $1!!!!!! read more

Love this place! The Caesar is out of this world and for the price you get a heck of a meal! One of my too lunch spots!

Unfortunately, I have had to return to Tropical Smoothie on two separate occasions after getting a smoothie in the drive thru that tasted like bleach. Both times it was handled by staff members with grace, for which I am appreciative. I still return to Tropical Smoothie every time we are in town; I just cross my fingers that the first sip doesn't remind me of cleaning supplies now. read more

Açaí smoothie is amazing. Not sure about food yet. Didn't get a chance. I love love love that they have national flip-flop day. And you wear a flip-flop in there and you get a free smoothie. That is some good marketing! Especially when someone hasn't been there before or hasn't tried the one free that they are giving away. My nephew now loves that one because of that. He orders all time read more

I sat in line for 20 min and my food was incorrect. I specifically asked for a wrap and didn't get a wrap. I don't understand why people can't get orders right anymore. It's super frustrating. If I didn't have to be at work I would make them make it right but I can't chance being late. read more

I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe and it pains me to give them a 1 star rating. However, in the midst of a global pandemic, NOT A SINGLE EMPLOYEE- even the ones making the food- had a mask on. Only the people prepping the food had gloves on. I am appalled. How can a restaurant not enforce a mask policy for their employees, who honestly should be wearing one even if there isn't a virus being spread. I am never returning. I am so disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I order from here a lot. Although, there isn't much gluten free (at least certified gluten free) options, I love their smoothies! I have to watch my sugar intake and with all the fruit, I select Splenda. My 2 favorite smoothies (Pineapple Delight & Tropi-Colada) were discontinued at our location but they'll still make them for me! I love it!! read more

I like the smoothies! They are really good! The price is a little outrageous for what you get. And the drive through seems to take forever.. I've pulled in, and then changed my mind because I saw a line, and knew how long it would take.. read more

Some of the best smoothies I've ever had... yummy!!! They have healthy options such as high protein smoothies as well as yummy dessert style smoothies. They also have tasty sandwiches and other options on their menu. read more

Fantastic smoothies great for healthy diet and just for the taste of a sweet smoothie. I recommend everyone to try it. My favorite is definitely kiwi quencher it has kiwis, strawberries and non fat yogurt. DELICIOUS!! read more

I have had both the food and the smoothies here and both are excellent! The hummus veggie wrap is very tasty and fresh, stuffed with pico de gallo and plenty of hummus and vegetables and enough cheese to bring it all together. I've had a couple different smoothies, but the Blimey Limey is my favorite. Sweet and tart at the same time, LOVE! The staff is always friendly and smoothies come out quickly! read more

Tropical smoothie is a great place to go out to eat!! It's also a great place to go after your done working out just to cool down with a refreshing smoothie. But I like this place alot! It's got a great atmosphere and its just good food and smoothie. I usually get a different smoothie every time I come here and I haven't been disappointed with any of their smoothies yet!! I would definitely recommend this place to everybody I know! read more

I really enjoy Tropical Smoothie for lunch. I get the Thai Chicken Wrap and I like it so much I've settled in as a regular. It's got chicken, lettuce, and other veggies in a thai peanut sauce. It's got a big flavor and lots of crunch. I've been working my way through the smoothie menu and I can say they're all fantastic - even the ones with things like kale and avocado. They're all really good and you would be fine to choose one randomly. Try the Sunny Day for a nice refreshing lunch read more

I was in Columbus this weekend for a shower. My Girlfriend recommended me to this location. We had smoothies and subs, overall it was good tasting. By no means a high class establishment, but it would return. -Atmosphere? C+ -Food? B read more

I love this place! The decor is really fresh and relaxed. Their food includes options for vegetarians. They have the soy based "chicken" strips and their smoothies are delish. read more

Always enjoyable. Best buffalo chicken wrap I've had. I try different smoothies and have enjoyed every one attempted. Fully recommend!!!! read more

They are so nice and the food is so worth the price!! Everyone was wearing a mask. I strongly recommend this place!

Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Columbus is a terrific place for lighter fare and a laid back atmosphere. Tons of different kinds of smoothies and supplements you can add (almonds!) along with breakfast and lunch wraps for a healthy (ish) meal. The staff is always friendly and efficient. Plan to wait just a little bit in the drive thru as they custom make your order (suggest ordering online before you head that way.) I'm local and visit about twice / month. read more

I always enjoy the smoothies and food (especially the quesadillas) at this Tropical Smoothie Cafe, have never had issues with the quality or taste. But the drivethrough experience lately has been TERRIBLE. Today I sat and waited in the drivethrough line for over 20 minutes, and the cars ahead of me were just getting smoothies like myself (I would expect more of a wait if there were food involved, to account for cooking time/etc.). Once I finally made it to the pay window, there was no acknowledgment of the wait time, just more waiting and then a curt interaction with the employee. I don't know if this place is understaffed, or just poorly staffed, but either way I'll be taking my business elsewhere (wherever doesn't have a 20-30 min. drivethrough wait time). read more

The smooty gude. The fude gude. But most importantly, the service gude. And everything else is very gude too.

I have always had good service at this location, it is a very clean place with plenty of room to accommodate the lunch time crowd....They have different options for people who don't eat meat as well. read more

Great place, high quality ingredients and very courteous staff!!!

Good place to visit. Smoothies and food is great. I'm trying their new noodle bowls today

The Smoothies here are great. They not just hints of fruit flavors, they are a blast of tastiness. The wraps are delicious too. This place reminds me of the smoothie shop I frequented in college. read more

Had catered Tropical Smoothies twice on Wed-at my office luncheon and an evening meeting. The wraps and smoothies were all great. The chicken salad sandwiches sadly had almost no chicken salad on them. I'd definitely pass on them til T.S. steps up and delivers. read more

They are really good but they need to work more efficiently and faster because I sat in the line for about 45 minutes for a smoothie. That's ridiculous! Their drive thru makes it to where you can't leave if the line is too long so you're stuck in there until you run out of gas read more
