Tropical Smoothie Cafe at 2465 Centreville Rd Ste. J-23, Herndon, VA 20171 Very few times I actually go somewhere and never take a picture. I drank the green Avoclada smoothie, had the Thai chicken salad with a jerk chicken wrap. This place is pretty big on the inside with lot of seating. This was early in the morning around 8:30 am. I was surprised at this place was open but they service was pretty fast and efficient. I did not like the jerk chicken wrap but the Thai salad and the smoothie made up for the score. The jerk Chicken wrap just did not taste like jerk chicken at all read more

I like their food. The pre-pubescent crew needs attitude check. They're stingy with their sauce. They always give theatrical, bitchy looks when you ask for more sauce. I've made it emphatically clear you can't order more than 1 sauce on the app. read more

I mean it's tropical smoothie. It's fairly consistent with service, quality, etc.... I always get the same thing a chia banana boost with no sugar added and I love to get the peanut butter crunch banana flatbread. I always like this spot cause the smoothies are super filling! read more

Today I decided to stop by Tropical Smoothie as I'm new to the area. The inside was nice and ambience good. I waited 10 min just to be noticed by anyone in the store. Finally a worker came out of the bathroom came walked by me without acknowledgment for waiting patiently and said what do you want. When I asked what are the sizes for a smoothie, the lady at the counter for no apparent reason got irritated and said we only have regular size. I asked kindly again is there a smaller size? And she proceeded to tell me (with attitude) that I already told you sir that we only have one size. If you can't answer a simple question from a customer without attitude you need to fix your customer service. Won't be returning again with this experience, very sad. Smoothie was okay. read more

I came here to get a protein smoothie after my workout and everyone was super nice! The staff was cleaning so things looked tightly kept. Their smoothies are the best lots of options. I highly recommend to anyone looking to stay fresh and tropical during this summer. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Tropical vibes all day - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

I've always loved tropical smoothie and their food. I tried ordering their bowl for the first time and it was very good! They give you the right amount of salad and dressing! You don't feel too full eating the bowl, either! Everything is always on point with Tropical Smoothie! Also, their chocolate chip cookies are very soft and they use the boujee chocolate, Ghiradelli! Can't beat that! Ordered: SuperGreen Caesar Chicken Bowl with the MISS VICKIE'S salt and vinegar chips. Chocolate Chunk Cookie, yummy! read more

This location will send fruit that is rotting and opened. Dont order from! unsanitary. I will be reporting you to the health board. read more

I thought my tastebuds were too good for this smoothie cafe. My hubby asked me to give them a try. And I have to say I can't wait to come back. I do recommend changing the interior. It's kind of boring. It doesn't give off that vibe that I'm at a happy place or "tropical" paradise. The front is dim and the wallpaper doesn't stick out. The food isn't anything special. It's simple, healthier and meets the lunch requirements of a balanced meal. And it's very affordable! Even the smoothies are more affordable compare to Robeks and other local shops that sell smoothies. I ordered their seasonal watermelon mojito and now it's all I think about. I like how their smoothies are thick. I drank my smoothie within two hours and the consistency remained the same. That's not common. How do they do it? What's their secret? Guess I'll have to find out when I go back for lunch and get another watermelon mojito. read more

Let's play the numbers game: 260 calories 24 oz $5 This is the quick, numerical breakdown for the Sunrise Sunset smoothie, my favorite at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Start the day loaded with mango, pineapple, strawberry and orange, iced out. You can even throw in a multi-vitamin in for free. What I love most about the smoothies here are that they are well blended and rather thick. I swear, it took me close to 2 hours to finish my smoothie as it did not melt quickly, one of my biggest pet peeves with smoothies. Additionally, I felt full for hours afterward. They also sell a bunch of fresh, creative, tropical inspired wraps, sandwiches and salads that look great but for now, I've stuck with the smoothies. This store location is rather new from what I understand. I don't remember ever noticing it in the past, so when I inquired I learned that this location had just opened up at the end of the summer. Tropical Smoothie Cafes seem to be popping up all over the place recently, so I really hope one pops up closer to me soon. read more

I'd gotten coupons from them in the past, but my punchcard & travel cup discount at Robeks had kept me a loyal customer. When I randomly read the business name out loud to Greg, he practically swerved off the road in the rain to make the turn. I had to try one of their smoothies to test his enthusiasm. Lots of booth and table seating, generic decor, pretty friendly service. Bus your own trash, thanks. Gets pretty busy during the weekday lunch hour, but the line gets processed much quicker than items are prepared. Equipment is in the back, but there's a fair amount of visibility. Blonde behind the register is definitely easy on the eyes. The menu's extensive enough that I was still skimming the options long after we'd placed our order. He went with an Island Combo of his usual modified Get Up and Goji, and I opted to try a Sunny Day. Our names were called after 5 minutes or so when our smoothies emerged in the queue. Ingredients were fairly evenly distributed and it was slow to melt. The bananas used were decently ripe, so any chalkiness that might've remained was cut by the kiwis. Mango and orange elements definitely perked me right up. Chicken soup had an extremely salty broth, but at least the noodles weren't criminally overcooked. Even so, I won't be getting this soup when I come back. Three and a half stars. If we had forgone the chicken noodle soup, it would be a pretty easy four. Either way, I'll be happy to let my friend drag me back here since it's well within walking distance. I'm particularly interested to see how Tropi-colada ranks against its Robeks doppelganger, but honestly the fresh fruit combos all sound pretty tasty. Having less frills than my favorite Robeks/JJ smoothie bars isn't a bad thing. read more

Super frustrating when you drive across town 20 minutes to get a smoothie and they turn you away because there system is down and are only taking cash. This location is much better than the Reston location as far as service and quality product, but what a waste a time today. read more

Came here as an alternative to a burger since fat me is trying to loose a few pounds. Just got an Açaí smoothie. It was pretty good and service was good and fast. Smoothies are huge ! I would like to come back and try a salad. read more

Our company orders from this place quite a bit. However, the customer service at TS is terrible. This is not the first time they have messed up our order and REFUSED to take accountability for it. Once, we placed an order. One order was not in the bag when we got back to the office. We called and they MADE US come back to the restaurant. When we asked for a refund, the guy had the nerve to tell us that it was our issue we did not check the bag before we left. Today, TS was supposed to be at our location at 11:30am. It is not 12:16pm and they are still not here. We have been calling and no one is answering. Someone finally picks up 10 minutes ago and says there was miscommunication and the order will be here in 30 minutes. We fully intend on getting a refund, apology and then we have learned our lesson and will never order for you all again. If you can't admit your own fault, and we have to suffer the penalty, we'll take our business elsewhere! read more

Ordered online and picked up within 10 mins. I got the mango magic which was delicious and chipotle chicken club flatbread. Bf got the all American wrap which he thought was an okay breakfast wrap, but probably wouldn't order again. Staff was nice and it looks like it's only take out currently. read more

As Robert M. tipped 6 months ago, they do not participate in Corporate offers. Went in to redeem a free smoothie from a promo, but they told me they don't accept offers of any sort. Stricter than other Tropical Smoothies in the area; Reston and Ashburn always honor the promos. They let me redeem it here this one time as an exception. read more

A nice alternative to Roebek's and certainly easier to get in and out of (especially if you are on that side of town and can avoid the Elden Street chaos). Smoothies are 24 oz. and a tiche pricey at $4.29 each. My favorite is the Blimey Limey - strawberries, pineapple, orange and lime. It's one of the few without banana or mango. I've not added one of the supplements, but they offer lots of options. Go early in the morning and treat yourself to a Salsa Sunrise breakfast wrap -- eggs, bacon, ham, cheese and salsa. It's filling! The service here isn't fast, but it's not slow either. The owner is kind and is usually working with the staff to take and fill orders. read more

Same great smoothies and sandwiches and wraps. Service isn't as fast or efficient as the other locations I've been too. That's only my opinion as I still love tropical smoothie cafe. This location is on the way to Reston so I'll still continue to frequent here whenever I'm in the mood for a peaches n silk smoothie or their turkey bacon ranch sandwich. They need to do a better job during bad weather. That's my only complaint for this place. read more

Cute place. Plays good music. Nice casual vibe. The Carribean jerk chicken wrap is so so good, my husband ordered that and I had several bites. I got the Baja chicken salad which is really good also (love the pickled onions). Was craving something clean after a two week trip and this was perfect. Was in Herndon for training and came twice because the smoothies are on point. The Grange Ginger Glow is great if you want something like a creamsical- it's quite refreshing. The Acai Berry Boost is delicious too!! I'm not a huge smoothie person but the ones they make at TC are so good!! read more

YAY! Tropical Smoothie...what's not to love? I've only ever had smoothies from this place, so I can't speak to their food options, but other Tropical Smoothie's I've been too have had great food options (albeit it a tad pricey). Came in here for my new fave Pomegranate Plunge and was greeted quickly and within minutes my smoothie was ready! It wasn't too packed when I came in (around 1115) and only a group of four dudes eating and one guy waiting on his smoothie. If you're in the mood for a smoothie swing by! read more

I was early to work today and thought "hey, I haven't had a smoothie in awhile," so I stopped in for one of those amazing peanut butter cup smoothies. They made it perfectly and in a timely manner. There weren't many staff, but there were only two customers anyway so it didn't make a difference. The music is calming and It's a nice cozy atmosphere to escape to when you're stressed. Nice place to hang with a few friends after school or work! read more

Pretty quick, but customer service could be better. The girls working during my purchase were so involved in their personal conversation that no one turned around after I tried to ask them a question 3 times. Nice girls, but could use a lesson in being attentive to guests. read more

I've lost track of the number of Tropical Smoothie Cafes where I've eaten, but this remains my favorite! The wrap portions are generous and the ingredients well-balanced. (Some of the other locations skimp, or load up on the dressings.) The staff are always nice, and they are fast! Many of the other locations also deserve five stars, but this is my go-to for wraps! read more

This is what I know: Owner does not permit substitutions due to cost differences in ingredients, therefore one needs to omit an ingredient instead. Substitution was requested due to allergies. Can't prove one has allergies. Maybe *everyone* lies about having allergies just for substitutions (big eyeroll), hence the policy. I can't think of any other place that won't accommodate a substitution of a key ingredient. It's one thing to say, omit sprinkling nuts on Pad Thai (no biggie), but I feel that this is a bit different. It's fruit. Come on! The smoothies are delish, so it is worth a try. Maybe you'll get lucky with a substitution. Good luck! read more

Savory and semi-healthy smoothies (depending on your choices) that hit the spot. The wraps are quite satisfying as well. Service is always on point and fast. read more

I am truly loving my morning smoothies! I love breakfast food...just not first thing in the morning. But I need something to get me going and I highly prefer that its something healthy. For the Lenten season this year I decided to fast until 12noon everyday...nothing but liquids after dinner the previous evening. Prior to this, I frequented Robeks. However, TSC was on my way to work and had pretty decent reviews. Fast Forward three months later....I am continuing to do my smoothies on a daily basis whether from TSC or homemade, dropped 18 pounds and loving it! If you purchase their ginormous insulated cup you will receive 50cents off of each smoothie! For $3, it is definitely worth the investment. Also, the smoothies are all one size here so if you are like me, plan to freeze the other part for the next day....just dont freeze the ones with banana...they look gross the next day :) I fully recommend TSC and in particular this location. The owner is always onsite and truly is passionate about his business. All in all, quick, accurate and pleasant service here and my health appreciates it! read more

I love tropical smoothie! I didn't know this place originated here in the East coast. I was afraid departing from AZ there wouldn't be a tropical smoothie. In season is the Green Tea/ Lemon. I like mine w/ no sugar so I think it's perfect for me. I love all the flavors and keeps me full until noon. It's on my way to taking the shuttle into DC or if I choose to go to Ashburn I also can stop at that location. Love the supplements, always a friendly vibe and the kids love it. read more

Good customer service, however they are very inconsistent with their hours. It seems like they open and close when the please which is extremely frustrating when you need a pre or post workout meal. read more

Great smoothies and awesome service. The staff is always speedy and friendly. I often stop in to grab a smoothie for lunch. The designated parking spaces make getting in and out a breeze. Highly recommend. read more

I will come here When I forget to pack lunch at work. It is really affordable and I love that you get a decent amount of food for what you pay for. I normally get the half smoothie half salad deal. my favorite smoothie is the detox island green, which comes with kale, banana, ginger, and pineapple. I think more goes into it but I can't remember. All I know is that you get a huge smoothie and the whole thing is under 200 calories. I also get the loaded spinach salad and add kale slaw on top. The kale slaw adds more substance to the salad and it is satiating for the rest of the day. The spinach salad by itself is pretty bland. I'm not sure about whether or not their food is organic, but it's a huge step of you normally have greasy food. I haven't gotten the 2pm slumps after Eating here, but I don't get anything that contains wheat or processed food either. They do definitely have less healthy options and just because you are drinking a smoothie doesn't mean it is healthy ( some of the smoothies might as well be milkshakes), but at least there is an option between the two. If your looking for a healthier lunch option at an affordable price, I would recommend tropical smoothie. read more

This was my first visit to Tropical Smoothie Cafe, after a 12 mile run in the July heat, I was craving something fruity and delicious, a smoothie came to mind. I yelped the closest smoothie shop around me and searched their menu, everything looked delicious but the Detox Green Smoothie caught my eye. Excited, sweaty and exhausted, I got in my car and speeded over here, placed my order, the workers here were not very friendly but how can I complain when my smoothie was beyond delicious? SO GOOD. It was very large and filling with only 182 calories! I will definitely be returning. This is my new go to. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Detox Island Green. YUMMY and super filling. - Sandwiches Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Overall rating is more like 3.5 stars. I don't have any major issues with this particular tropical smoothie besides that when packed during lunch it can take a while to receive your complete order. Also entering, exiting, and parking in this parking lot can be a bit painful but not bad if you have patience. I've ordered the flat breads and wraps and honestly, they aren't anything mind blowing but they do get the job done. The reason for the .5 star boost is because, I absolutely enjoy their smoothies. My favorites are "Sunrise Sunset" and most recently discovered "Bahama Mama". Just a heads up you would think that tropical smoothie is healthy to eat but think again if you take sometime and do some nutritional checking on the tropical smoothie website you would discover that it isn't as healthy as you may think. I do know if you ask for your smoothie with no sugar (Which is what I typically do now) you will be able to knock off about 100+ calories on your meal. In the end I think this tropical smoothie is a must visit if you have the time and feeling smoothie-ish (I know it isn't a word but sounds good). Last but not least, for all my health conscious folks if you plan on going to tropical smoothie don't be fooled by the looks of the foods and smoothies because they can pack on the carbs., calories, and sugars. I say if you're really serious about eating healthy then you can always get a salad (Which tropical smoothie does offer) and get a smoothie with no sugar and I don't feel it will do much damage from a health stand point. Then again you can eat whatever you like but you will have to workout that much harder. read more

Pretty much a Jamba Juice with food options. I got the strawberry, banana, pineapple low-fat smoothie, which satisfied the intense craving I was having. It really bothers me that they say that their smoothies include turbinado - I had no idea what this was and had to ask. Apparently it's raw sugar, why can't the menu just say that? It sounds like an artificial sweetener or even a diet pill - no thanks! read more

Its been a while since I was at a Tropical Smoothie location. I actually came across this one while I was running errands in the area. While the line was pretty long when I got there it didn't take too long everyone ahead of me to get waited on. I ordered the peanut butter and banana smoothie and it was really good and made very quickly. The inside of the location appeared very clean and I did not see any real issues with anything. Definitely deserves a return trip the next time I'm in the area read more

Working in Herndon, VA means there are a few choices to get your morning smoothie at. The main reason I keep coming back is by far the service! The manager or owner of the location is very friendly and all the staff makes an effort to remember the regulars name & order. Great service & delicious smoothies :) Always a bright way to start your AM! read more

I go to Tropical smoothie at least once a week. I don't usually go to this location, but the last time i did it was the worst experience ever. No line... and it took 15 minutes for my sandwich to be ready, WHICH was cold when I received it. They had to redo my smoothie 3 times and kept telling me I was being picky and had to pay extra to sub yogurt for water in the smoothie. At the end my smoothie was still not how I get it at the Centreville location (best location), and she said "well I don't know what to tell you." Definitely wouldn't recommend this location, but I had to stop there because it was more convenient for me that specific day. read more

All depends on who is back there making the smoothies. I've been coming here so long I can always tell before hand if it's going to be on point or not depending on who I see on the blender..... you of course can get the occasional wild card read more

I just happen to be in town found out about this place and it was great. Movies are awesome. I will be back in the future whenever I am in town again! Great customer service! read more

Great food, great value, and exemplary service. The staff are courteous and professional to a fault, and the manager (owner?) is one of the nicest franchise operators I've met in years. He's quick with recommendations and definitely knows his product. Anyone can operate a fast food franchise these days, but with their healthier options and inviting atmosphere, these guys raise the bar. Significantly. The place gets pretty busy during the weekday lunch rush, so get there early ;) read more

My wife and I traveled to OBX recently and while we were there, we decided to try out Tropical Smoothie and it was delicious. The chicken salad sandwich was nice and toasty. The Jamaican Jerk wrap was excellent as well. The wrap was nicely wrapped so nothing would fall out easily. The spiciness of the wrap had a good kick to it if you're into spicy foods. The chicken salad sandwich was by far our favorite from the items we got from there. The smoothies were really good as well. The food experience at our local Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the exact opposite compared to the OBX locations. Mind you, I came on an empty stomach and I couldn't even finish my food. It was that bad. And I always finish everything I eat! The chicken salad sandwich was all bread and barely any meat at all. The food was really bad. I only gave it two stars because the smoothies were on point. If you go here, just come for the smoothies not the food! read more
