Traysha always has the best suggestions and a big smile! I come back every time I am in town. Highly recommend. The island green with coconut is one of my favs - tastes like fruit - not veggies. read more

Ordered 15 minutes in advance, got there left me in front waiting for 10 minutes. Manager acts like it's my fault she only has two people working, said she couldn't give me a refund right now or have my bowl ready. Horrible service never again. read more

Traysha was amazing!!! She gave my friend and I great recommendations as to what to get. She was so kind and welcoming. 10/10

always friendly, smiling service. clean facilities! General Manager Traysha is fantastic! read more

The smoothies are fantastic and you can adjust the sweetness (didn't know this until they told me). I like everything I've had here and the people couldn't be more welcoming and ready to help. Download the app! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Breakfast Quesadilla - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

Friendly atmosphere! Great location! Customer service is impeccable. Trayshon is so welcoming and makes your food with care. My high school Sophomore orders here at least once weekly and she takes good care of him. I definitely recommend. read more

The Staff and manager are always friendly, smoothies are great quality and never taste watered down. Food is consistently good as well. I've never had to wait too long for my order and they get things done efficiently on busy days. Definitely recommend this Tropical Smoothie location! read more

My first visit ever to a Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Went in on the recommendation of a friend that I try the 'Immune Blast' smoothie to help out with this blasted cold virus I've been fighting. Ordered the smoothie - light on the sugar as instructed. As far as I can tell it has oranges and bananas and Vitamin C and who knows what else? The smoothie certainly was tasty and refreshing! Have no clue if it will aid my body in fighting off the creeping crud - but at least it was enjoyable! read more

You may not want to order from this place after a certain time. I came here last week in the evening, after 7pm. I ordered 2 chicken Chipotle club sandwiches n 2 smoothies. The sandwiches were disgusting. They had so much Chipotle sauce on them n the bacon was so oily that I threw them both in the garbage. Usually, I order during the day around lunch time n never had this problem. What a freaking waste n we were starving. read more

The quality of food has really gone downhill at this particular location and the manager can't be bothered to return a phone call or make things right when an order is messed up. I received a basically empty sandwich with my last order. I didn't receive any of the extra ingredients that I paid for and the turkey sandwich had zero turkey in it. It was unbelievable to me that someone could make a sandwich that was basically just two pieces of bread and a sprinkling of shredded lettuce and charge me almost $11 for it. I called the restaurant about it and was told the manager would call me back with his decision and it's been 3 days. Clearly management is not worried about losing customers, as this will be the last time my family gives our business to this place. read more

Must one be on an island to cool down? Not at Tropical Smoothie. Because of the brain-freeze effect, I've always shied away from them---until now! Detox Island Green Within the blended ice, some of the ingredients get lost. As a result, I'm convinced this concoction is better served as a juice vs. smoothie. Not overpowering, the nutty banana is the main ingredient you'll savor the most. Subtle notes of ginger, pineapple and kale can also be tasted. Southwestern Wrap: When getting a wrap, my must-haves: Spinach/Egg/Cheese; grilled chicken is the added protein bonus. The pepper jack cheese was stringy, but in a wonderful way. I also relished the Chipotle-Mayo(Smokey, creamy and alittle volcanic). A three hour tour? No way, man....I'm staying!! The wraps and smoothies are too good to leave. read more

See all

Usually place online orders and still end up waiting forever, they have frequently messed up the order and some of the employees seem like they are stoned... read more

I do enjoy fruit smoothies throughout the year. I am rating a fair middle as they are good, but a bit more expensive than most other chains $4.79 for a 22oz (I believe). Service is a bit unprofessional, I really do not need a charity request to go beyond the first NO, and the chattiness of the guy at the counter led to long lines. They do have all the basic ingredients, but I am betting with the gritty texture, their may be a bit of ice in there. With the making's going on behind a windowed counter behind the front counter, you really can not see what is going in. Good/ fair product at a higher price marred by service- 3 stars I can only imagine people giving this 5 stars because they have never been to a classic west coast Smoothie bar and received Starbucks caliber service at one. read more

Ordered through door dash. Sandwich bread had been layed in a pile of liquid of sorts. Entire sandwich was saturated and falling apart. NO CARE FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND QUALITY OF SERVICE. Stay clear of this establishment! read more

I do a lot of smoothies, but this team seems to think you're doing them a favor by going in this store. they are very inflexible considering you are ordering a $9 smoothie. Not a good experience. read more

Nice location. Cute staff. Quick service. They have a small outdoor seating area:) I definitely recommend that you stop by here. read more

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

They messed up my order. Bunch of teenagers who work there. They totally give you a small amount of meat on your sandwiches. In my situation barely any meat on it and the whole time the manager was in the back laughing at me and embarrassed me for when I asked about why there was a small amount of meat for something I paid $8 bucks for!!! Why go there, when you can go to Wegmans and make yourself a wonderful clean fresh sandwich!!! Horrible manager, horrible service and horrible food!!! I will never return to this damn place again!! read more

I usually go to this TSC due to it being closest to me. They have the beyond meat "chicken" here which is great, although last time I went they had run out. My last visit they got both my order and my grandmothers incorrect, but fixed it and gave us coupons for free wraps/bowls because of the long wait. Overall good spot though, the food tastes like it should and the outdoor seating is nice! read more

This little shop is tucked into the back of the Wegmans plaza. It doesn't get the traffic it deserves. Delicious smoothies, great "boosts." The staff is friendly and easily adapted my order to my special request several times. (I've asked for no sugar and for 1/2 sugar b/c I don't like artificial sweetener.) The food looks fresh and delicious but I haven't tried it yet. The owners are often behind the counter when I go; ask them sometime about why they opened the cafe and you'll hear the passion they put into it. read more

I literally stay up at night worrying that Tropical Smoothie Cafe will discontinue their "limited time" artisan tacos. They are so delicious, every one. $7.99 for 3 is a great deal. Bacon is crunchy, Thai one has nice heat, and everything tastes fresh. The staff is polite but more importantly low key. I also bought a side of kale apple slaw as well as a fruit medley. Both were brilliant and only a buck each. Can you bare superlatives? Best tacos I've ever had and best fruit salad in recent memory. read more

Been here quite a few times now and I have always enjoyed what ever smoothie I have gotten because they are all really good! It's definitely not an everyday kind of this because of the price but it is a good treat or post workout reward! The staff and service has always been good with the food being really enjoyable! It a four star just because I the price but I guess all that fruit probably drives up the overheads In all I would definitely go back because it is very good! Try the bahama mama if you want a recommendation read more

I absolutely adore tropical smoothie and would go even if it was snowing like today. Any person commenting that it is terrible and some fruits aren't in order but how are they supposed to have everything? It's a small business growing and competing they aren't going to have all the ingredients and neither are big time smoothing CO's. Love what you guys are doing just keep it up. It would be nice for a rewards system and punch cards but best of all to add in more smoothies or a create your own system. read more

Come before school lets out.It took almost an hour to get two smoothies,a wrap and a flatbread.The guy who opened the door for us said he ordered one smoothie and was there an hour. The food and smoothies are fine.Nothing too great,especially with the price.Watered down smoothies are 4.99.Wraps are 5.99(i believe). read more

I like Tropical Smoothies cafes, but the one in Gainesville is one of the worst ones I've been to. They often can I get your sandwiches correct and the smoothies don't seem to have the same consistency and flavor as smoothies at other Tropical Smoothies. Here's my latest example, ask for the turkey club sandwich, with toasted bread, no cheese, extra bacon. What I received was the top bun was toasted, the bottom bun was not toasted, and no bacon. When I put the sandwich back to the register the girl at the register said she would give me some bacon in a container for me to put on the sandwich myself, because I guess I have to partially make the sandwich myself when I go there. She came back with some old dried-up flavorless bacon in a tiny little plastic cup, the size of the McDonald's little plastic ketchup containers. I asked her how was this possibly extra bacon, and she said we only put a tiny piece of bacon on the sandwich. At best the cup contain 1/2 a slice of bacon. Smh... I thought why didn't I just drive to the Chantilly, Daly dr Tropical Smoothie( absolutely excellent, excellent service food & smoothies)... why can't everybody just receive the same training for their franchise. Only reason this Tropical Smoothie could possibly have gotten three stars is because people haven't driven to other great Tropical Smoothie locations. read more

Teenagers with shitty attitudes, giving shitty answers to easy questions. Service sucked, short blonde cashier with glasses was rude to everyone we saw order. Someone (the owner) needs to get it together. read more

Worst location I've been to! They constantly run out of ingredients, and they don't offer a rewards program.

I love tropical smoothie. I find the staff at this shop to be friendly and the shop was easy to find. I was extremely excited to get a Tropical Smoothie out near me but I'll be honest I find myself driving to the Manassas or Centreville location the last 5 times I've gone to this location the flavors weren't as robust. At first I thought it was just a bad fruit day, but I've spaced it out just to be sure. read more

5 people working here midday. Still took 20 mins for them to make 2 smoothies. Figure it out.

Love this place, great smoothies and food, and always friendly staff! Was back in today to by a cranberry truffle smoothies, so glad they extended the stay of this flavor past the holiday season. read more

If Tropical Smoothie was a song, it would be Ain't It Fun by Paramore. It just makes me so happy! And I'm sure they could kick ass at breaking world records in their music video too. But straight up, this place is my jam. read more

I used to go to King Smoothie, but I have changed my mind due to staff here. Love the staff at this location. Everyone looks so happy while they are working and really patient with me. Obviously they makes yummy smoothie!! give 4 stars for great customer service!!!! read more

Get up and Goji = awesome. They do smoothies right. Location isn't as close as the other for me, but perfect for most Gainesville and Haymarket folks. They have good food too - don't pass it bye. read more

I'm not a big smoothie guy but I really enjoy the ones they have. Every time I go to the store it's clean and the staff is always friendly and professional. read more

Love the staff at this location! Everyone always has a smile on their face. The last time I was there Bryan was helping me and he noticed my school badge and offered me an educator discount. Great customer service!! read more

One of my favorite places to eat with my family. The service was wonderful and the owners were so nice. Not only did the owners treat us like they knew my family for years but they also provided our kids with material about healthy eating. We will be returning to this wonderful establishment in Gainesville VA. read more

I'm a huge fan of Tropical Smoothie Cafe but not a huge fan of rude and lazy employees. While I will enjoy Tropical Smoothie Cafe, it will be done locations other than this one. My first and last visit here. read more

I had an unbelievably disappointing experience at this establishment today. And because of it, I will never return to this location EVER again. I happen to be a big fan of Tropical Smoothie and really enjoy their food and smoothies. Their staff (which consists mainly of teenagers) are always very friendly. Unfortunately, the teenagers were not led by example. The female owner is extremely rude and unpleasant. I've noticed this in the past, but just chalked it up to her having a bad day. But today was the final straw. I learned today that (at least while she is working) Tropical Smoothie is NOT kid friendly. My friend and I, along with each of our two children were enjoying lunch. Toward the end of our time there, the female owner asked if there was anything they could do to "help' us. Confused for a second, I wondered what we may need help with. Then I realized that she was implying that our children were being too loud. Appalled by her ignorance, I informed her that they are children and children are loud. She then, in a very snippy way, suggested that we tell them to use their "inside voices". With all of the refrain I could muster, I gathered up my things and started the process of leaving. I told her how offended I was and how I thought that this was a kid friendly establishment (considering that this is a fast food style cafe' and not a fine dining establishment). She quickly started to back peddle, suggesting that maybe she could turn on kid shows on the tv (which she did...and blared the volume). I told her not to bother and that we'd be leaving. She agreed in an overly polite/ rude tone...and then we left. I am still furious. Is she implying that kids are no longer tolerated at fast food restaurants? If she were looking for a place that caters to no children, perhaps she should have invested her money elsewhere. So, unfriendly female owner, I wish you had tolerance and tact...because without it, you have lost a loyal, well paying customer. Congratulations. read more

Best smoothies ever...especially since you can get them made with Splenda! The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and it will satisfy your sweet tooth, without all the bad calories. So, why not five stars? Because its $5 per smoothie...and I had two...in one day...oops! A bit pricey, but oh-so-good! read more

The food is fine. My biggest gripe is that the service was a little unprofessional but they were polite. I expect the teens to be social and it doesn't really matter to me unless the order is incorrect. read more

Smoothie was really good, buffalo wrap was good but lacked proper amount of buffalo sauce maybe next time make it seem like a buffalo got murdered, I will definitely be back. read more
