    Tropical Smoothie Cafe
    Rachel S.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a great spot to take a break or grab a quick meal. They have a smoothie for pretty much everyone's taste and their food is delicious, as well. This location is next to a Sam's Club in a small strip mall, right as you turn in. The parking situation is not ideal. There are only a few spots directly in front so you may find yourself walking a little. I had to circle a few times to find a space close by. As I walked in, I was warmly greeted and I stood back with the others waiting for their orders. I had ordered ahead with their app, which is quick and convenient. I highly recommend using it. Unfortunately, curbside isn't available at this location, so you will have to go inside. Their seating area is nice, we'll spaced, and clean. They have a gender neutral family restroom. If you have not ordered using the app, their menu is posted above the work area. As I waited, I chatted with one of the employees as he made my smoothie. I got the Sunrise Sunset - strawberries, pineapple, mango, & orange juice. I substituted Splenda and added a B12 shot. I also got one of their edible lime straws, which was quite tasty with my delicious smoothie. Way to go for helping the planet! Their menu is large enough you should be able to find something you like. Their smoothie line up is great. You can choose from Super Veggie, Balanced Fusion, Fruit Blend, and Tropical Treat menus. You can't go wrong, no matter what you choose and they always have a featured smoothie to try. Right now it's the Hurricane. Yummy! You can customize your smoothie in a number of ways and you can choose an edible or regular straw. I encourage you to try either the strawberry or lime edible straw. They keep the plastic ones out of the landfills and taste great, too. It's 99 cents. You can choose to leave out any of the ingredients you choose. You can customize your sweetness by subbing Splenda, half Turbinado, or no Turbinado. They offer fresh add ins of Açaí, almonds, avocado, banana, blueberry, Chia seeds, coconut, cranberries, dark chocolate, ginger, Flax seeds, kale, kiwi, lime, mango, non-fat vanilla yogurt, OJ, Peanut butter, pineapple, pomegranate, spinach, spinach & kale super pack, strawberry, white chocolate, and whole grain oats. Lastly, you can add supplements. They offer Collagen, Energizer, Fat Burner, Pea Protein Powder, Probiotic, Multi-Vitamin, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin C Complex, and Whey Protein Powder. Their food menu offers offer Breakfast wraps, flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, quesadillas, salads, and kid's menu, some and offers fruit, chips, and cookies. They also have maple kissed sweet potatoes and Jalapeño corn. You can pair a main with a smoothie to save a little cash. Don't forget their app to earn rewards for free smoothies. I can highly recommend their Chicken Caprese Sandwich. It's grilled chicken, fresh Mozzarella, Parmesan, tomatoes, Pesto, and a balsamic glaze pressed in a Ciabatta roll. I can not tell you how delicious this was the last time I got it. It was so good, Please give Tropical Smoothie Cafe a try. You won't regret anything except the fact you can only try so much in one visit.

    I came here a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning to try a specific smoothie that my sister told me about. This was my first time coming here but I ended up not getting the smoothie she told me about. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the smoothie I decided on but I added spinach to it .... to make it "healthier" and for an additional .99. I really loved the consistency of the finished product but I felt like an ingredient was missing . Something was just missing! The smoothie in general was good and priced fairly. Like most shops in this category , they offer food items as well in addition to smoothies/drinks. They serve Salads , sandwiches , etc. The inside isn't huge but has tables to dine in. There was ample room available for patrons to practice social distancing, while waiting on their orders. The service was fast and friendly!

    Sunrise Sunset with the Supergreen Caesar Chicken Wrap

    I visit Tropical Smoothie quite often and they never disappoint! For years, I didn't drink any smoothies. But about 2 years ago, my coworker brought me to Tropical Smoothie and I have been hooked ever since. To me, out of all the franchised smoothie companies, Tropical Smoothie is the best! I typically get the Sunrise Sunset smoothie and on my 1st visit, a Tropical Smoothie employee made the suggestion to substitute the orange juice for kiwi, and that combination is what I always get. The smoothie itself is served in a large cup so if you ever wanted to share, you could. It's enough for 2 people. Also, the Sunrise Sunset is not too sweet, but just about right. With my kiwi substitution it also has strawberries, pineapple, and mango. It's very refreshing, especially on a hot summer day! Also with my Sunrise Sunset smoothie, I order a Supergreen Caesar Chicken Wrap. I love this dish. It's just like a Caesar salad, but in a wrap! The ingredients are always fresh and taste great. Within the wrap itself, it has grilled chicken, Caesar dressing, romaine lettuce, kale and spinach blend, shredded parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and parmesan crisps. Also this dish comes with a bag of chips or a side of fruit, which is an extra bonus! The only negative I will say is that they usually put a lot of Caesar dressing on the wrap and therefore if you don't eat it immediately, by the time you get home, your wrap will be soggy. My suggestion is to ask for the Caesar dressing on the side. But other than that, the sitting area is always clean and the employees are always nice so I highly recommend you try a Tropical Smoothie out for yourself!

    Always a pleasant experience when I come to this location. I always order from the app to cut down on time.

    The guys working tonight (12/16 6:30p) doesn't make the smoothies right... always taste very watery and not good literally taste likes NOTHING! Guess I'll have to stay away when they're working or just stay away all around. This isn't the first time I've had this experience with them, It's never good when either of them are making it.

    The village idiots that run this location.

    Y'all I had the worse experience ever here. This is a circus!!! It must be new owners that don't have a clue about what they are doing. On my lunch break, ordered in app, went in store to pick up food 10 minutes after it was to be ready. Food not ready, my smoothie still sitting in blender. The male pours the incorrect smoothie in cup and gives it to me. I tell him it's the wrong smoothie and he proceeds to make it over all while waiting on customers at the cash register. He stops remaking my smoothie to operate the cash register, then tells the lady ( which he said that is his wife) that she would remake the smoothie She starts to remake it then stops and make a sandwich. I asked for a refund at that point. And it took 10 minutes for them to refund my money. This place is a joke! I am so unsatisfied with is establishment!!! Will never visit again!!!

    Chicken Caesar wrap
    Neema K.

    I used to come here all the time, and I could've sworn their portions are bigger lol My experience wasn't necessarily bad, but it wasn't what I expected. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap which was delicious but it was so TINY. I felt like I was eating an appetizer, haha. I guess I should've read more reviews ahead of time.

    Green apple with spinach and kale.   Delicious!!!

    I'm a huge smoothie fan when I make at home, oddly enough I never go to a smoothie cafe for some reason. We wanted something cool and icy but not ice cream so when we drove by Tropical Smoothie Cafe it grabbed our attention. When you walk in there's a Muriel of a dock and beach, tropical themed decor. Menu items are posted on board above the work station/cashier. So many options! The staff was pleasant and gave good input of top sellers and taste presences. They have some really neat looking creations and yummy looking sandwich/wrap options. But today we got smoothies and a snickerdoodle cookie. That cookie was one of the best snickerdoodles I've had- almost had a cake like texture. Yummm!! Jimmy got Chia Banana Boost with peanut butter. Very creamy, good mixture of peanut butter, cinnamon, coconut, dates and bananas- seems like a lot going on but the flavors worked well together and was really nice! Satisfied the ice cream craving. I opted for a Green Apple smoothie with green apple, kale, spinach, pineapple, lime and I forget what else. I loved it! Cool smooth icy texture, flavors blended great. The prices aren't bad at all! Around $5+ each. I was expecting a small cup but much to my surprise the size was very generous- maybe 22oz? So much it was hard to finish. There's several I'd like to try later. Top of my list is something with ginger! Second day here. I think I'm hooked!! Avacaloda is fantastic!!!!

The seating inside is a bit limited, so it can feel crowded during busy hours, but I noticed that they do a lot of to-go orders, which makes sense for a place like this. It seems perfect for grabbing something quick and healthy. I ordered the kale salad, and it was really good. It tasted fresh and light, which is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes it's hard to find something filling without meat, but this salad definitely satisfied me. My friend ordered the vegan wrap, and we were impressed that you can substitute the wrap for a gluten-free option. She said it tasted just like a regular wrap, which is great for people with dietary restrictions who don't want to sacrifice flavor! I had a great experience at Kale Me Crazy! It is a solid choice if you're looking for fresh, healthy options in the Homewood area. I would definitely go back!

And add on olives. It might have been the peanut dressing, but it's certainly not over-dressed by any means (more like massaged in). It might have been the sweet, chewy dried cranberries (I refuse to say, "craisins.") I also had a mediocre vegan wrap which desperately needed seasoning. I had ordered it with olives and paid extra for the add-on, but they forgot to put them on. Honestly, if I had only ordered this, I wouldn't come back here again because this wrap was not only not good, it was fifteen dollars. It really needed something to give it flavor, even a little salt would have gone a long way. But, that salad. Just do it. Unless you have a peanut allergy.
