I ordered the Very Stable Açaí Berry Boost with Splenda and it was exactly what I wanted -- super refreshing and not overly sweet. The açaí flavor really came through with a perfect balance of berry and tropical vibes, and using Splenda instead of sugar kept it light without sacrificing taste. The smoothie was blended really well and stayed thick and cold the whole time, which honestly made it even better. If you're looking for something fruity, energizing, and not too heavy, this one is a great pick. Place is clean and service is kind. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Watermelon Mojito - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Place was efficient, clean and stayed open even though they saw a rather large group coming later towards closing time. The servers let us try different flavors and even gave us extra free smoothies to go. No complaints. read more

It works for smoothies. I like the strawberry and banana, or blueberry laden ones especially. They've raised their prices considerably. A lot of this could be related to the economy. Yet I can't go as often as I used to. A shame as their smoothies are delicious and healthy. As for their meals, I give them credit for fitness enthusiast selections, but not a really exciting menu. On a plus note, their meals and smoothies have lots of protein. All of the employees are very polite and friendly. They hire good folks. If you're in the area this works, plus parking is a cinch. read more

My kids love the smoothies here because they add little crushed ice compared to cubes of ice and that other places have. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Came by after ice skating and the customer service was excellent; this is our new routine after ice skating and we've yet to be disappointed! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Waiting on our Kid's Jetty Junior Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The best place to go the food it's good and also the service is fantastic and the ambiance I love it, good music and clean

I continue to order from the App and I feel like it has additional options now as far as add ins for the smoothies. I like how it has the calories for certain parts and how much it changes with different options. Lately due to COVID they are doing curbside pick up and it worked very well. I called when I arrived and there are spots designated in the front. The bbq chicken quesidilla was very good as was the pesto chicken flat bread. read more

10/28/19 Some places automatically add sugar into the smoothies. This and one other place asked me if I wanted sugar in it. I think because I added kale to my drink, the natural sugar in the fruit was cut way down. The lady in the ponytail was the friendliest of the group there. I will call her Katalina. This place is big as far as work space goes. The chairs are near the front of the entrance. However, you can sit around the bar area and see your drinks get made. The bathrooms are not unisexed, but the very well could be. I hope in the future they are. As I keep drinking, I can fell my body craving sugar and this is dangerous. I will have to get my brain to change this way of thinking. This is my first time here, but I will return. read more

See all

By using the app I put in my order and its ready for pickup in 10minutes. The workers are always friendly and I've never had an issue with my order. My go to order is the chipotle chicken flatbread and either mango magic or sunrise sunset smoothie with splenda. The size of the smoothie can be shared between two people but I like to drink half and save the rest for the next day and its still good. I've only tried a few smoothies but they've all been delicious. Another plus is that you can customize your drink. The also have kid sizes in care you bring your kid or don't want a large cup. They also have parking spot for car pickup if you dont want to go into the store. My order is always sitting at the table with my name on it and you just grab and go. So simple. read more

The food and smoothies here are Consistently good. Hardly ever is there a wait time. I gave it three stars for two reasons: the place is always just a little dirty. The trash is always overflowing so bad that I don't have anywhere to put my trash before I leave. I ordered smoothies and food to pick up on my way home I called ahead by about 20 minutes early. when I got there the smoothies were sitting out on the counter. The staff person told me they've been sitting out for almost 20 minutes. When I asked her why she didn't keep them in the refrigerator like other smoothie places she said "we expect people to get here earlier". Of course, I'd like to point out that she did remake the smoothies after I asked. She also is pretty young and probably just doesn't know any better. Maybe from here on out I'll ask them to keep it in the fridge till I arrive? read more

Made a mess, didn't even bother to wipe down the cup. Made the smoothie too sweet. They obviously had a sign for online order pick up at a separate section, however all the staff were to ignorant to realized and didn't even bother to ask, but just to look my way and moved on. After 15 minutes standing in front of the "Online order pick up here", with no service went over to the regular order line and inquired, they had this stupid look on their face and dumb founded. read more

Good fast service if you order ahead, always ready by the predicted time on the app. Staff is efficient. Dining area is a bit small but I get it to go anyways. read more

I order from TS usually a couple times a month using Uber Eats (pickup) and they've never disappointed! I like that you can customize their smoothie options - I typically substitute Splenda and add whey protein. My order is usually available within 5-10 minutes! read more

The staff is super friendly and kind. Great with recommending items to order! My bahama mama smoothie was super and very quick service. I will be coming back EVERY EVERY often. Keep up the great job read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This location is good always make the smoothies correctly. I just wished the employees would smile I bit more, or greet guest.

I have been here several times and food/service has been great. However, recently our pickup orders on two separate occasions were missing the chips. It was different staff working each time, so it appears to be an honest mistake by both employees. Still giving it five stars here and will submit my concern to corporate. Check your pickup orders and you will be fine. read more

Mango magic - Great! Chicken Caesar wrap - (-_-) I ordered the original way they used to make the chicken wrap before it became a supergreen (with my own preferences). I asked for nothing that made it super, just the basic wrap and extra dressing on the side. She asked me again to understand what I was asking for...so I said no kale, no spinach, no crisps, no tomatoes, just dressing, romaine, shredded parmesan, and chicken. After me, a guy ordered a vegetarian Thai wrap. So as more employees came out to help make the multiple orders, somehow...someway...in some sort of midst of confusion with the orders...MY order became a wrap WITHOUT chicken...yep, they made mine like his!!! Oh let me add no extra dressing on the side, and it came WITH spinach AND kale....UGH!!!! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

My initial review: I love Tropical Smoothie, but this one is hit or miss. Sometimes the smoothies turn out great and sometimes they have chunks of ice. That was the case today in addition to getting a chunk of one of the additives. It was hard to get that taste out of my mouth after. I will make the drive to another TS next time although they have a very friendly staff! 1 week later: Bomb smoothie! Just perfect. Will come back and hopefully we can keep the deliciousness going read more

The food and smoothies are always good here. Even when they are busy they seem to get you in and out fairly quickly. I always get the sunrise sunset as my smoothie and the chipotle chicken flatbread. Definitely will be back again read more

The place is clean and it doesn't take alot of Time to get your order. I really like the green island smoothie but I wish they had an option for people who don't have sugar or carbs. I was hoping the options will be keto friendly. read more

Best tropical smoothie in the nova area. They were fast, helpful and my food was great. I've have been to the Woodbridge, Centreville, and other Fairfax location near the fair oaks mall and this is hands down the best one. I was surprised when my food and smoothie came out so fast- great place! read more

this place absolutely sucks. the service is super poor and the ppl behind the counter were rude. the smoothie wasnt even blended well and there were big chunks of food and ice. definitely would never recommend this place. read more

This has been the most efficient and yet excellent service I have ever received for any of my Tropical Smoothie experiences! Management and Staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond to satisfy ever customer that walked through the door! Thank you so much for making my morning and being super incredible despite the obstacle itself! I am super satisfied!!! read more

Smoothiesssss And a chicken quesadilla perfect to go! Will be back for more. Could be a little more clean.

Me and my great great grandson got a smoothie and a sand which and we felt like we were in a good beach restaurant

This is a great place. Attentive staff gladly split my large smoothie into two smaller cups. The green caesar wrap was one of my favorites, but I couldn't finish it! Very filling. The can sometimes be a short line, but moves pretty fast. read more

nikole and anna were very helpful with my special smoothie order! they did it quickly, and it was delicious! Definitely coming back again!

Always fast and friendly service. I have been coming here for a few years now and I love this place!

Yes! I'm happy to know that there a smoothie cafe in the area. I can't wait until summer rolls out so I can come by more often to pick up a smoothie and walk around the area. The staff here was very friendly and greeted us the moment we walked in. Clean space and I appreciated that it didn't smell like Clorax unlike some smoothie cafes that used to be in the area. They have so many options for your smoothies and I recommend the Sunrise Sunset! read more

Not loving this location and unfortunately it is the location closest to my house should I desire a late night, or weekend smoothie. Some employees have been friendly, others less so. My biggest complaint is that it is the polar opposite of the Dunn Loring location which is right by my work and is absolutely outstanding (always a perk when employees know your order before you even say a word.) But at this specific location my daughter and I have visited at least 20+ times and the employees quite simply do not care. From the time I got a second smoothie free of charge due to them making double, however the employee very loudly remarking "well that's what I get for talking crap about a customer." To last Wednesday, when the only customization I made to my chicken quesadilla was no salsa so it didn't spill in my car, and when he was ringing me up he said "so you said no chicken on the quesadilla?" And I corrected "no salsa please" only to get out to my car take a bite and realize I had nothing but a plain cheese quesadilla and both kinds of salsa. The final straw that led to this review, was that I hail from the west coast, we do not have a sonic in NoVa where I can go buy my beloved bags of nugget ice. So the next best thing I've found is tropical smoothie uses the same type of ice, and if I have them put it in one of their plastic bags it survives the trip home where I can then move it to a proper ice bag. Well I've always topped the employees when they have grabbed my two bags of ice as I know it is an unusual and time consuming request. However the manager of the location informed me the other day that it was coming from "corporate" that they would need to charge me for the ice, as it's using supplies. I did not realize that a plastic bag and frozen water were such a drain when I'm at one or both of the tropical smoothie locations just about every day, spending at least $20... Where this became an even bigger issue was that it was the employees at the Dunn Loring location that let me know the bags cost 5c approx a piece and they had no such order from corporate saying they needed to charge for extra bags. So the manager of the Fairfax location felt the need to specifically chide a customer spending at least $20 on a daily basis, over a 5c bag and maybe a penny used in water to freeze into the ice, and I'm tipping the employees to grab it to begin with. After writing this long review the only thing I can say for this location is their smoothies are generally consistent and at the end of the day that's generally what my daughter and I are there for, just would be nice if there were employees who even slightly cared. read more
