My experience at Tropical Smoothie Cafe was top-notch. I decided to try both the Acai Bowl and the jerk chicken burrito, and I was blown away by the flavors. The jerk chicken was incredibly tasty and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning. As for the Acai Bowl, it was perfectly chilled, and the fruit toppings tasted incredibly fresh, adding a burst of flavor with every bite. What impressed me the most was the quick service, even for takeout. Despite the busy atmosphere, my order was ready in no time, making it convenient for me to enjoy my meal on the go. Overall, Tropical Smoothie Cafe delivered delicious food with speedy service, making it a go-to spot for a satisfying and hassle-free dining experience. Althrough the portion size could be a little bigger

We ordered an açaí bowl and jerk chicken burrito. I was expecting the açaí bowl to be good, but honestly didn't have much expectation from the burrito. The açaí bowl was great as expected, but the birrito was amazing. The flavor, the tenderness of the chickens the filling to tortilla ratio - everything was great! It was a pleasant surprise for us. I knew they did their smoothies and juices well, but now I know their savory items are pretty good too.

This has been my go to place for a quick and healthy smoothie back in Phoenix, especially after a long morning run like today. Knowing we will be having happy hour and a feast later this afternoon/evening, this was the perfect stop for something light. First time to this location, conveniently located next to Trader Joe's where I'll be picking up drinks and food for tonight's happy hour at our house. I've gotten both their food and smoothies in the past at other locations, but I have learned throughout the years that the food is a bit bland so I have stayed away from it. Their smoothies are outstanding and this location did not disappoint. I usually get a smoothie or a bowl and have them throw a scoop of protein in if I've already done some exercise. I got the Island Green smoothie today (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana) with added protein. Fresh and delicious, 5 star smoothie as always. The girl at the counter was super friendly, and the place was very clean and tidy. 5 star service for sure. So why only 2 stars? As soon as I walked in, the music was playing abnormally loud. Not only that, but F bombs were flying from the first song I heard as I was placing my order. I made eye contact with another patron who was very surprised as well. I've been known to throw a few sassy words out there myself here or there, but this was definitely out of place. For an establishment that serves families and kids, or any restaurant for that matter, this is highly out of the ordinary. It was definitely a staff member's personal music, and not the typical satellite radio or radio station. If my kids were with me today, I would have walked out right away. Speaking with a manager may be in order so it doesn't happen again, especially if a family with younger kids walk in.

This place is great for a quick bite to eat, drink or both. You can dine in, grab and go or order ahead/delivery. The place was very clean and there were plenty of places to sit inside. The smoothie menu is located on the left side of the menu and your heartier foods are located on the right side of the menu. I ordered a smoothie (Pomegranate Plunge). Very easy to order at the counter. The cashier was super friendly and you can leave a tip. My smoothie was ready within 5 mins of ordering. Their smoothies have always been top notch. The coldness of the drink, smooth texture and freshness of the ingredients will give your taste buds a kick. Smoothies come in a nice filling size. I will definitely visit this location again. The parking lot may seem small because it is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have a problem on a Saturday afternoon.

Detox Green Smoothie
Shawna B.

I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe on New Garden Road. And this is why. Every time I have gone into this store, the staff is welcoming and super friendly and the store itself is super clean. The only downside is most of their smoothies add turbinado sugar except for the Detox Green smoothie. You can request no sugar added though which is a plus if you remember to do so. My order was the Detox Green smoothie(spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, and banana. With no added sugar) with add ins: whey protein, collagen, B12, fat burner! This store also offers an App where when you sign up, you can earn points and many food options as well. Thank You Tropical Smoothie! Ciao for now.

Triple berry oat
Reagan B.

I've visited this tropical smoothie cafe twice in the last couple weeks. I stopped by one afternoon after school for a quick pick me up and decided on the Triple Berry Oat which included whey protein. I prefer smoothies with the protein powder, not necessarily for taste but for nutritional value. It was a little slow but they were clearly busy and working as fast as they could. The next time I decided to place the order ahead on the app. I ordered the same smoothie since I loved it so much! Ordering ahead worked well. I arrived right at the time the app said it'd be ready and was handed my smoothie two minutes later. Again, they were busy so I accepted this. I haven't tried the food yet but hear it's tasty. Maybe next time!

Dine in | Lunch | $1-10 Normally do not review chains but tropical smoothie cate is a favorite of mine-- just the smoothies! Not the biggest fan of their food options as they're a hit or miss depending on the employee. Sometimes too much sauce, sometimes under cooked; wouldn't recommend. Now, if you add white chocolate to any smoothie, it becomes perfection! My favorite would have to be the Bahama mama for sure. This is my go to location in Greensboro. Store is clean for the most part. Smoothies are made very quick in my opinion. Not a bad spot to grab a snack after a workout or while running errands. Food: 4 Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Kiwi Quencher, Island Green, Mango Magic, Paradise Point

I cannot express how much I love this place! It has become a favorite of mine. I want to say the employees are fast and super kind. They are always on top of their work. And the few times I've seen them busy, wait times aren't long. Such a great morning crew! Now the food. The smoothies have been great I've tried about 6 different kinds and they never disappoint! Their seasonal ones are the best though! So make sure to check those out before they are gone for the season. I've had their quesadillas, flatbreads and wraps. I think the flatbreads are amazing. And their quesadillas are always super cheesy. 10/10. I highly recommend you check them out! Because you're missing out!!

Service was quick and efficient. My wrap was made exactly as I ordered. The server was pleasant and friendly. I like the simple wood block tables.

Jamaican jerk wrap... I guess?

The gentlemen working there are so handsome and helpful. They were eager to assist and the service is top notch. They get you in and out quickly, without sacrificing quality. Dats what I'm talkin about! Their artichokes look so good. I can't stop thinking about them and am kicking myself in the pants for not getting some. Oh well, I guess that means I'll be forced to go back and get some. Ha! What I did get was the Italian Stallion sub and the Meatball Parm sub. First. Let's talk about the bread. FRESH and slightly crunchy on the outside, with the perfect amount of chewy, and pillowy yet dense on the inside. The BEST bread on a sub that I've found in NC. The Marinara on the sub is authentic Italian marinara with just the right amount of cheese, but those MEATBALLS...I've never had a meatball quite like theirs and they are homemade, delicious with the perfect seasonings. Yum! The Italian Stallion. Absolutely the BEST sandwich I think I've ever eaten. They don't skimp on the meat that's for sure and its QUALITY cold cuts all the way. And the best thing about getting food from here? Their prices. They have kept their prices on the lean side while still keeping their sandwiches fat. Love love love! So what ya gonna do about it? Go back for more! That's what! This is a 100% YES and I will be recommending to everyone.

I told the girl behind the counter it was my first time visiting and she walked me through my order. She was very patient, polite and professional. I ordered a 6" Classic Italian and a 6" Meatball sub with an order of Homemade Chips. I cut them in half so I can sample both and still have another meal or two for the next day. The chips were the best homemade chips, cooked until crispy. And both sandwiches were delicious and on fresh bread but I especially liked the Classic Italian which was fully loaded! I also got a couple of cookies to try. I e only tried the peanut butter cookie so far and it was really good. I can't wait to come back to try some of their other sandwiches. I would recommend.

It's whimsical in decor, lots of seating options with booths, a row of barstool seating, lots of individual table seating, and it's clean. The staff are friendly and eager to help. My food was prepared as I waited and they got it out to me quickly. I ordered mine to go due to another obligation but next time I'm dining in. They have lots of choices on the menu with lots of meats, cheeses, homemade and salads, homemade desserts and so many drinks to choose from. I ordered the Rachel on a Kaiser roll, warm German potato salad red skin potato salad, and a snickerdoodle cookie. The sandwich automatically comes with a pickle spear (the good kind mmmm) and a bag of Utz chips. They thoughtfully wrapped the warm potato salad cup in foil to keep it warm and double wrapped that precious pickle spear so none of its juice could escape...and I appreciate the gesture more than you know. It's called going above and beyond. The sandwich was delicious! Pastrami, sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese with a slightly sweet Russian dressing mmm. The Kaiser roll tasted fresh. The sandwich unfortunately had to ride in my passenger seat for 30 minutes until I got home and the bread took an unfortunate beating before it met my lips. Nonetheless, it was still a very good sandwich. The warm German potato salad is VERY GOOD. The red skin potato salad is good. The chips were fresh. And the pickle was fresh and crisp and juicy. They have good pickles. I will be back to try more sandwiches, sides and desserts and I recommend.

Unfortunately I do not remember what my dad ordered but as you can see in the photo it looks delicious and he loved it. All subs/sandwiches comes with chips(not homemade) and a pickle.

My husband and I were in downtown Greensboro on a Saturday afternoon and decided to hit this place up for lunch. When they called the place The Bodega, they really mean it's a bodega. It's decked out like a small convenience store from the second you walk in. We ordered our food at the cash register to eat at one of their tables outside. The cashier brought our sandwiches out about 10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the Turkey Caesar. It had turkey, shaved parmesan, marinated cherry tomato, house-made Caesar dressing, onion, and romaine lettuce in an 8" sandwich roll. It was a little pricey at $15, but it was worth the splurge. The dressing and parmesan cheese were unbelievable! Since this is in downtown Greensboro, there is no dedicated parking lot but we easily found street parking nearby.
