I've been going to tropical smoothie for a long time. Today I finally decided to buy the Nutella açaí bowl & OMG it was absolutely delicious. The staff was fast and it was pretty empty when I stopped in. I will definitely be ordering it again no questions read more

Very nice employees! A welcoming spot. The folks here are polite, efficient, and quite fun. It can be rather busy here, but they'll get your smoothie to you. I like getting whey protein. This adds a bit of boom after a workout. Seating area is comfortable enough. On really hot days inside where it's at. Good weather and kicking back at University Mall is wonderful. As for the food, I'm not thoroughly impressed. Go for the smoothies. These are quite good, and reasonably healthy. read more

Ordered their Carribean Jerk Chicken wrap. It was pretty sizeable for the price (not Chipotle big though). You do get a choice of a side with their wraps, quesadillas, sandwiches, and salads. See pics I choose a bag of chips. The wrap was well stuffed and was warm when received. They do heat up and press the tortilla before assembling. It tasted good for what it was. Didn't try their smoothie this time around. I have in the past at a different location and was not very impressed. But there are two size options. See pics. Inside has pretty limited seating. You can see behind the counter to see how the food is prepped. I saw into their storage fridge as well. Not very impressed with the cleanliness. It is located in University Mall shopping center so there is plenty of free parking in the lots and there are places to sit outside the restaurant. read more

Love love their beach bum smoothie (with white chocolate)! I eat here often and the smoothie tastes great every time. It's sweet and delicious even when I sub with splenda. I loved their mango bacon brie flatbread when they still had it, but their chipotle chicken club flatbread is also amazing. I've had some of their other smoothies, like the chia banana boost, peanut butter cup, and bahama mama, but I found them too bland. I will continue to come back for the beach bum smoothie and their flatbreads! read more

This is the worst quesadilla I've ever had. See photo to see how THIN the quesadilla is!!! Like, I'm eating 1% cheese and 99% tortilla. Awful. Someone please teach these kids how to make a proper quesadilla. Absolutely horrid. I would never suggest this place to anyone. read more

What's not to love about Tropical Smoothie? I can order online and my drink order is waiting for me?! Yes, please! I've been to many tropical smoothies, and I always feel like the employees here are some of the nicest! read more

Well I usually stop by this tropical smoothie when I'm on my way to work. The workers are very pleasant. I always order the bahama mama and I'm never disappointed with that. However, everytime I order the wrap and make a simple modification they never follow through. This morning I went in and ordered the southwest breakfast wrap with NO tomatoes. Of course when I get to work there is an excessive amount of tomatoes on my wrap and now I can't eat it. I definitely recommend that you check your food order before you leave to ensure your modification (If made) has been fulfilled. read more

Fast service, awesome smoothies, nice people. It's perfect! Even the bathrooms are clean! The only annoying thing, which is no fault of Tropical Smoothie, is the University Mall parking lot. Gah! I don't know what it is about it, but people are always terrible at driving around it. I think it has something to do with the disorganized layout of parking spots. The parking lot was not able to keep up with the amount of people who use this shopping center. Anyway...back to the smoothies. I've been there three times now, and it's always great. Every time, I get the Bahama Mama, because it contains my favorite ingredient, which is pretty unexpected for a smoothie:white chocolate. Oh my god, it's heavenly. I've gotten a flatbread (California chicken) and a wrap (buffalo chicken). The flatbreads are cheaper and better than the wraps, so I'll keep getting those in the future. Sides are pretty dope, especially the kale slaw. This is the best place in town to get a smoothie, not to mention the most economical. (I'm looking at YOU, pretentious juice places that think smoothies should cost nine dollars!!) What are you waiting for? read more

I'm a frequent customer at this tropical smoothie and typically it's pretty good. However this time while I was eating my wrap, I found a piece of paper in it... worst of all I ate a chunk out of it photo attached for reference I'm appalled Update: they reimbursed my meal so I had to update this review. Yay tropical smoothie! read more

Amazing! Guess I ordered for the wrong location but they didn't care and made me my order at this location anyways! Curbside pickup was super fast and they took correct safety measurements. Overall, I've always had a great experience at this location! read more

Was incredibly impressed by this Tropical Smoothie. We placed an order for our soccer team of 25 and were blown away by how easy they were to work with. They gave us a phone number and email to send orders into. They took my google spreadsheet and filled the order beautifully. And even labeled everything so it was simple to distribute. Showed up on time very organized. Can't say enough great things! Would definitely order with them again in the future. Thank you!!! read more

I love this place the food is extremely good the service is also good but the smoothies are delicious

Tropical Smoothie Café is my go to place for smoothies and this one located in University Mall (across George Mason University) is a awesome location with great service and delicious smoothies. College and high school students will love it. I love this place because they actually use fresh fruits in their drinks. They're not too sugary or heavy so no need to worry about the healthy aspect, this is the place to be. They do offer many drinks with protein mixed in them, those of you looking for a post workout boost. I've only tried the Mango Madness & Strawberry Banana Peach smoothies. Both of them were good and I recommend them if you like more of a light and sweet taste with good texture. I've heard some of the smoothies taste more watery, maybe tell them to add less water? The downside is that it's a small location and the seating is scarce and cramped. Not the optimal location to hangout with your buddies at. Also one of the tables was literally right next to the bathroom...nobody wants to sit there with food. Also there's only one smoothie size that is too large for one person, I would have preferred a smaller size that's also cheaper. 24 oz is huge. Plenty of parking. read more

Closing time 9pm. I got there at 8:46pm. I see two worker talking but door was already locked. I think time is one of sevice and promise with customers. If you cannot promise the specially there was no one and two of worker is talking eacher and you still have 14 mins. read more

The smoothies are usually fine, but the customer service stinks. Curbside pickup is awful - no designated spot, so you're waiting in a fire lane. They don't bring out your order - they expect you to call in when you arrive, but the App doesn't tell you that or even have an easy way to call after you order. Worst of all, after waiting a and waiting, when I finally did call in, I was treated like I'm a pain for making them run out with my curbside order. read more

Smoothies are good..food is nasty. Employees are very nice, however the wait was long and the sandwich was barely crispy. I'll be back for the smoothies but after numerous time trying different food items I'm not impressed. read more

I'm always here after I go to the gym . All the smoothies are good and I add protein too it . I like that u can't even taste the protein . My fav smoothie is the avocolado . I tried dif food here too . I had the chicken wrap , Baja salad , jerk bowl and I was satisfied with all of them . It's a healthy and protein field meals . read more

COVID ALERT - The girl making he wrap for my kid thought is was appropriate to cough into her mask and the touch the mask with her gloved hand to adjust it, then went back to making my wrap. I simply left it on the counter and walked out. I'm sorry, but this is not the time to have employees being so unsafe with cross contamination. read more

This is one of the best Tropical Smoothie Cafes I have gone to. They have excellent service and are polite and help you with whatever you need as fast as humanly possible. The food here is great and the smoothies are some of the best ever. The smoothies give a fresh taste and help get you ready for the day. They have great breakfast options and great lunch options and prepare the food really well. Online orders are completed very quickly and you don't need to wait after the expected time cause they get it ready very quickly. Most times the food is ready before the estimated completion time which makes my day even better 10/10 visit this place it's amazing read more

Live Tropical Smoothie. The wraps are my favorite. Unlike at other locations, here they make yours to order. For picky people like me who always want to add or subtract something it's great! The reason I didn't give them five stars is because they only sell soda in the can and it just sits in some melting ice on the counter. Added thumbs up... seems to be a lot of GMU students work here and they are all super friendly and efficient. read more

The last two times I visited this location, the smoothies have not tasted flavorful enough, like possibly the crew is skimping on ingredients--in comparison to the other locations. Not enough PB; not enough chocolate. Am I the only one? Now I ask them to please put enough ingredients in when I order at the counter. I should not have to do that read more

Today I was waiting from 6.30am for them to open at 7am, exactly they opened 6.55, what a joy it gives me that they are punctual. I am a frequent customer, it is good that they respect the schedules. read more

When this place opened up, I was so excited! There is something refreshing about "healthy" fast food. The menu's food options are all pretty good, if not REALLY good. And every smoothie I have had has been very good. My only complaints as to why it's not all five stars, not a lot of seating and it's ALWAYS packed. It's a small restaurant I understand that, but man sometimes I just want to sit down and enjoy my drink. read more

Brand new! Looks pretty good. Enjoyed my chicken caesar wrap. Place does not have much seating and it's really tight inside when there is a line. Otherwise so far so good! Can't wait to see how this place does in the shopping center read more

After completing my smoothie order, the gentleman behind the counter chuckled and said with a smirk something along the lines of, "we don't have kim chi here, ok?" While I would have liked to respond in the same uncouth humor, I had my son with me so I acted as if I did not understand. He continued to elaborate on how kim chi is a Korean dish, which confirmed my thought that he was poking fun at me for being Asian. While we are fortunate to live in this great country, I firmly believe that every individual is free to express his or her thoughts and opinions. However, doing so at his or her workplace, especially when that workplace is a nationwide chain, is not so wise. I'd like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor but I did not find this incident very funny. I'm more disappointed in myself for letting this ruin part of my afternoon off with my son. I've usually received stellar service at this location but I will no longer be returning here. read more

Good fresh food and drinks. The Apple slaw delicious and the smoothies are delicious. The place has extremely limited seats but most people grab their smoothie and leave. It's extremely popular with college kids as George Mason is right across the street. There is a parking lot so parking isn't an issue. read more

I went to my 1st Tropical Smoothie Café on 7/11/16. I didn't know what to expect but after working hard in spin class (right before) I could not justify getting dinner nearby fast food chain. The atmosphere for the café was typically. It is a grab and go so the seating is not seat up for you to linger there a long time. The café also had ample (and friendly staff). I was impressed while I was ordering another women was watching the register and started making my smoothie and sandwich. (This has become an A typical practice for a lot of chain restaurants. However the success of chains like Starbucks is partially based on the order process so people aren't waiting for a long period of time after placing their order.) I was really surprised that this place does not just have smoothies; and, the number of smoothies that do use yogurt (which I am allergic to). I took the women at the counter's suggestion on a smoothie and order a veggie sandwich. The smoothie was really large and after I received it I could have just had that for dinner. In a nutshell, I am disappointed I did not know try this chain earlier and will be back when I want a snack and/or light/healthier lunch or dinner. read more

Reasonably priced chain smoothy, salad, sandwich place with many options. I'm normally a big fan of the peanut paradise smoothy (banana, peanut butter, yogurt) and have had great experiences, but I got the shaft this go around. The smoothy wasn't blended well so there were chunks of peanut butter rather than being blended. So it tasted like a banana smoothy due to the lack of distribution. Bummer. read more

So excited there's a Tropical Smoothie in the Fairfax/Springfield/Burke area! I was debating between the Peaches n' Silk smoothie and the new Watermelon Mojito, and one if the staff automatically offered to make me a peach mojito smoothie, and it was delicious! There is extremely limited seating, so don't plan on getting a table at lunch. My biggest complaint is that the food items don't have descriptions of the food. You have to look on the paper menu. Didn't try the food, but will definitely be back. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a cafe with food and smoothies. The smoothies are usually very good and tasty. The staff here is amazingly friendly and somewhat quick with your orders. But the restaurant itself is usually very dirty after the morning rush, because of George Mason University and a high school down the street. The smoothies get this like watery, flavor juice at the end, which temps me to buy a smaller smoothie, but nonetheless I get the Cherry Limeade one usually. The food here is ok, nothing special, it seems like it may be microwaved to order? The best part of the food here though is the Apple and Kale Slaw, I just wish the portion of that was a little bigger than a Dixie Cup. Overall: It's a great place to just gel out and get a smoothie, but ONLY a smoothie. And add some kale slaw and even a Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wrap. read more

Had the Mango Magic. It was definitely refreshing and nicely sized cups. Will be back to try their food options next time. Quick and you could dine in or out. read more

Not the best layout and usually confused as to where I should wait. Besides all that, it's an awesome place with very friendly crew members (sometimes too friendly it freaks me out ---lol--- but I'm not complaining!) read more

They make your smoothie in no time at all! I've tried many of their smoothies, and have always really liked them! 10/10 will recommend.

The place is pretty small but it makes the best out of the space it has. Nice workers, and the smoothies and food come out pretty quick. They haven't messed up any of my orders. I highly recommend it for their clean bathrooms and good quick service. The line can get packed depending on the time of day, but usually it is pretty quick and easy. read more

The worst tropical smoothie location I've ever been to. I ordered 4 different smoothies for my family and I and ALLL OF THEM tasted so OFF. It was actually BAD. I frequent tropical smoothie enough to know how my drinks are supposed to taste. I don't know if they are not following the recipe OR just not cleaning the blender well that there's all sorts of taste mixed up...unfortunately I didn't have the chance to go back to have my drinks re-made since we already drove off...I'll skip no matter how close I am to this location :( read more

THEY ROCK! Lovely staff that greets you kindly. Always welcomes you with a smile. They know their product (which is important!). Anytime I tell them what mood I'm in and what they recommend they are spot on. Chicken pesto flat bread is a dream. read more

This location has such good customer service. I walked in for a smoothie and walked out with a smile due to their kindness n bright energy. Josh is great! Definitely my favorite location to go to :) I've also had a positive experience with the manager in the past that just came to mind as I write this from my visit there today! read more
