With it being Spooky Season, I ordered the Fanta Phantom smoothie (available for a limited time only) from TSC today. The smoothie is made with mango, banana, non-fat yogurt, cinnamon and Fanta orange concentrate. Then it's topped with purple vanilla-flavored popping boba. I substituted Splenda in replacement of Turbinado sugar. It was really good! Definitely worth a try this month - especially if you're a Fanta fan. As usual, the Livingston Circle TSC location never disappoints and always serves well-made smoothie drinks, wraps, and salads. The Hummus Veggie Wrap with sweet potatoes as a side is a repeat order for my husband and me. His go-to smoothie is Peanut Paradise, while mine is the Avocolada. The staff here are hard working and friendly. There is seating inside and the shop always clean. This is a very good TSC location! read more

Super Solid Tropical Cafe here in Livingston. The Food is always delicious, the Drinks are blended to perfection, and the Service is friendly fast and efficient. Big fan of their Wraps and Sandwiches plus that Island Green Detox Drink is always my go-to. The energy boost it brings me is outstanding and doesn't have any added sugars or sweeteners, just pure natural power from fresh fruits and vegetables. My last visit had me Shaking Hands with their Buffalo Chicken Wrap which came loaded with Tender Juicy Chicken Breast, Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Mozzarella, all slathered up in Tasty Tangy Buffalo Sauce. I threw in some Sun Chips to keep my delicious Wrap company which when all was said and done left me in a super satisfied Lunchtime Munchtime mood. They say that "location is everything" and this spot definitely checks all those boxes with plenty of parking available and alot of other shops and businesses nearby it's definitely a place worth checking out. They're open everyday so anytime can be Tropic O'clockic !! Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

I've been wanting to stop in at Tropical Smoothie Cafe for a while now. Today, I stopped in for a really good lunch. They have a special where if you buy food, you can add a smoothie for $4.99. I ordered the Southwest breakfast wrap, which is made with chicken, eggs, and spinach. To go along with that, I ordered the Sunshine Smoothie which is made with mango, pineapple, orange juice, and banana. The sandwich was good, but the smoothie was outstanding! I ordered takeout, but there are tables for indoor dining as well. This cafe is located in a strip mall with some other food places on Eisenhower Pkwy, right off Rt 10. Easy parking and good lunch spot if you're looking for something different. read more

Dionne, the assistant manager, has finally resolved the ordering issues. The smoothies are great! The employees are very helpful.

Preordered their Bahama mama bowl for pick up on a Thursday morning and everything was seamless. The order was ready when I came in. As for the bowl itself, it was delicious! I subbed strawberries with mangoes. Love the granola and coconut toppings, and the refreshing smoothie base read more

Ordered: Super Sunrise Sunset (free with coupon): strawberries, pineapple, mango, orange juice & multivitamin supplement Aya's take: I'm honestly impressed with Tropical Smoothie Cafe's selection and well-crafted smoothies that combine different flavors well. The Super Sunrise Sunset was tropical, refreshing, and none of the flavors overpowered the other. It was not overly or artificially sweet which I appreciated! The multivitamin supplement was a nice touch, as well. I definitely recommend trying this new menu item! read more

OMG, can't lie, everything I tried to order was on point! Let's start with the three cheese quesadilla which had a great amount of grilled chicken, queso blanco, cheddar, a smoked cheese blend & roasted tomato salsa. That side of salsa verse was so damn good. Just a perfect quesadilla, it was perfect for me!! Even tried some of the Baja Chicken which contained grilled chicken, rice, black beans, smashed avocado, romaine, pickled red onions, cheddar & roasted tomato salsa. This too was excellent. Washed that down with the Bahama Mama, just frozen goodness of strawberries, pineapple, white chocolate & coconut. Weird combination but it worked. I got two cookies for those late night cravings. I'll definitely order from here again!! read more

I had an offer to get a smoothie and was looking forward to trying it. I ordered through the app, the peanut butter chocolate banana smoothie. I walked in and was greeted and the nice lady said the smoothie was almost done. It came out and it was pretty big. I sipped and it was tasty. I enjoyed the smoothie and it was filling. I had a good experience. read more

I'd like to take a moment to recognize the *outstanding service* of this locally owned cafe. We have been in contact with the owner, Chris, to help us send nutritious treats (the most delicious smoothies in town!) to the heroes on the front line of this unfortunate pandemic at Saint Barnabas Hospital. My father's been fighting COVID and due to appropriate hospital regulations, we have not been able to visit him - the incredible doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, technicians, and support staff have been faced with not only caring for patients but being their bedside cheerleaders. I've gotten feedback from the nurses that the smoothies are a huge hit! Not only are they tasty, but they are extremely nutritious! There's a huge variety to choose from and the mechanism for ordering/delivering was so easy (they even attached personalized notes from us!) that we've utilized their services several times to help treat the hospital heroes. Also, of note, is their special attention to sanitary mechanisms as they prepare food/smoothies during this scary time. *The cafe has donated a tremendous amount to the hospital heroes as well, and for that, they must be commended and supported during this difficult time for local businesses. read more

So i came here for the first time couple of weeks ago because I was craving a fruit smoothie and this is the first place that popped up. I didn't have my wallet with me but i was so glad that they have an app that's paired with level up which had my payment saved because 16handles also uses level up. I was able to order online and it was ready for me to pick up when i arrived. At first, i was confused why an order of smoothie was $6 but when I arrived and saw the cup, it's HUGE!!! It's a 32oz so it's definitely worth the price of the drink haha. I got the sunshine smoothie which is orange juice with a bunch of topical fruits and then second time i came i got the mango smoothie-both were really good! I don't know how organic the fruits are but it doesn't taste artificial which is a good sign. Definitely recommend this place if you're craving smoothies like me! I don't know about anything else they sell here though, so I'll keep you all updated! read more

Can someone tell me WTF is going on here? Literally every time I decide to go out for lunch in Livingston I end up here. I guess it's summer or end there of and I'm trying to eat as healthy as possible. Not a whole lot of choices where I can get delicious food and still not demolish myself calorically. I have tried virtually everything on the menu and (drum roll please) and the winner is the peanut butter, banana crunch flat bread. Of course it also has about the highest fat and calorie content so I rarely order it. I usually stick with the Jerk or Buffalo Chicken wrap but literally everything I've tried has been great. Smoothies are also yummy but a bit on the massive side. I'd suggest offering a smaller size. But all and all, if you're in the Livingston area and want some damn good healthy, fresh food or just a smoothie to pick up your day, I highly recommend them. And if it's lunch time on a Friday, please say hi. I'm almost always there. Kudos! read more

A brightly lit unassuming cafe sandwiched between mega chains like Shake Shack and Starbucks....yet it offers something these places can't--healthy meals and smoothies. I got the chia banana PB smoothie + jamaica jerk chicken bowl. they have a deal where any smoothie is $3.5 with food purchase so it's totally worth it if you want a super smoothie since those are normally $6+. The chicken bowl was very plain, came with about 5 strips of chicken, beans, rice, mango atop a large bed of shredded iceberg. Comes with a side, I got the kale slaw which was better tasting than the bowl itself. The bowl had no flavor aside from the very distinct artificial sweet/salty taste of the dressing and the mango fruit, which was the saving grace. The smoothie on the other hand, was delicious and SO large. It could've been an entire meal by itself, with enough fiber and protein! (and definitely the calories...) Would probably come back a second time to try their sandwiches since the smoothies are so good. read more

Got take out from this place today. Let's say, I'll definitely keep this in rotation for awhile. The smoothie is huge, definitely worth the $5-6.50 price range. I got a bahama mama which is a strawberry, pineapple, white chocolate and coconut blend. I was unsure about the white chocolate part of it but was interested enough to order it. Glad I did. It was a delicate flavor. Not one flavor outweighed the other so it was well balanced throughout. I decided on the Apple Kale chicken flatbread and I was super excited for it too. It was as delicious as I had imagined. I love Kale but not too fond of it raw, except paired with apples. The apple kale slaw definitely caught my attention. Grilled chicken, kale apple slaw, smoked cheese and thin sliced bacon really threw my tastebuds for a spin. My colleagues commented on their delicious smoothies, quesadillas and sandwiches as well. Everyone was satisfied and I was happy it was healthy AND good. I'll be back soon! read more

Strip mall with busy Starbucks store. Looked forward to fresh fruit veggie concoction. Figured using their mobile app and curb service would make it easy. NOT TO BE! Ordered two drinks online after importing the usual info. Pressed order and received BOTH a text from my bank as PAID AND a text from Tropical that it was denied. I tried to correct this three more times and for three more times my card was charged and denied. Called the manager who said the charges are PENDING and she summarily said she had no way to reverse the charge error on their part. We went around the corner to purchase a similar product for far less money and aggravation. Some retailers have their apps together and some do not! read more

Went back many times after my initial review. It was definitely just a hiccup. Really delicious and good service. I usually really love this place. Today was a bit of a hiccup. I got the Baja chicken bowl, with no chicken. Took It back to work, opened it up and quietly wondered what else I could have for lunch because this was not going to do a thing...one top layer of the most minimal amount of rice, cheese and onions. Avocado was fine. No tomato salsa like it's supposed to have. Good thing I asked for lite ranch on the side (and yes, I specified in addition to the salsa when ordering). The lettuce is all going bad, I'm about four bites in and basically done because there's nothing left...usually this place is great, the smoothies are good and I normally get the hummus bowl, which I've never had a problem with. Maybe it was an off day. read more

I enjoy going to this place if I'm craving a smoothie in a pinch. It's comforting to know that their staff adheres to COVID guidelines. The first couple of time I went there, I noticed how busy it was, which was a good sign for me. Every time I order my smoothie, I look forward to the little message on the cup left for me by the staff. It's the little things, you know? read more

The mango magic smoothie taste like you're on vacation the food on the other hand is not worth spending your money.

I'm so happy to discover this spot! It's ADORABLE. Very healthy, fresh food... you can never go wrong with their food... to top it off they have a deal where you can get a big smoothie for $3.99 ... love this place and will be back soon! read more

Ordered the chia banana boost, which sounds awesome based on the ingredient list! However, the actual smoothie just tastes like crushed ice with a hint of peanut butter. I'm basically just chewing ice. This is NOT a smoothie. read more

I have been to tropical smoothie just about every day since it opened. There is a large selection of smoothies to choose from and lots of add-on. The staff overall is very welcoming and has great energy. I have only experienced one interaction that was not pleasant. Today, I was serviced by nicole. She took my order and I was taken back by her attitude and interaction. She just type away at the register without informing me of anything or advising me of my options. I kept having to correct her because she was just assuming. Nevertheless. My order was placed and I waited for my smoothie and my sandwich. Nicole, again was the person making my smoothie. Initially when she made it, it was wrong. I got her attention and whispered to her that it was no right. Her respond "I don't know. I guess I can make it again" with the slight roll of the eye. I'm going to chuck it up to her having a bad day, and hopefully this will not be my next experience read more

[updated review] I appreciate the quick response from Bethany H.! Because of her response I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I appreciate the attention and suggestions pertaining to my dissatisfaction of their smoothies. I'm definitely aware that fruit is naturally high in sugar/carbs, It's exactly why I believe no added sugar is necessary! I also understand that sugar is addictive and in this means it could help with repeat customers when added to food. Its a factor that gets considered way too often in the food industry. In my health quest I've learned that most places don't put it in your face, you must seek and find in order to make informative decisions in regard to food consumption. Sadly, many people don't give it a second thought, and so we have obesity and multiple health issues rampant nationwide.... I appreciate your suggestion to request no added sugar. I will keep this in mind if I ever do come back. It's just a turn off to me when I discover a business is adding sugar to items that really do NOT need it. And so, I stand by my review. If nothing else, I hope it will help those concerned about their health be aware. Maybe others will want to come in and ask for no added sugar!?! [original review] I found this place on yelp and got pre-excited. My take.... + atmosphere (simple, clean, inviting) + rewards membership + mobile app + convenient (other than parking availability and hours of operation - would like to see slightly earlier hours) - a place that leads you to believe your eating healthier than you really are (take time to read their nutritional info, only one smoothie has less sugar than a can of soda and that's their detox island green at 29 grams per the 24oz size)!! - for those accustomed to fresh, flavorful and/or less processed foods, you will notice the lacking of such in the taste. (ie: my berry smoothie tasted too much like ice and not enough like fresh fruit, was bland). If it wasn't for the later things, I would be a regular customer of this place. However, due to the importance of those things to me, I don't plan to come back to purchase anything. :( It's a franchise company so I don't really expect this to change, unfortunately. read more

New to the area and came here too get a smoothie. My first time here and the cashier was beyond rude. He just looked at me and said "do you need something" and he turned to his co-worker and told her to hold on from their conversation. He acted as though I was interrupting their conversation. Asked about the products they had and he stated he has "no idea" but that they taste bad. I asked what flavors the whey protein powder was and told me their not flavored. Experience here was very unprofessional and will not be back ! Customer service is key to a successful business. read more

So good! You know how most take out salad places have that sad rubber chicken? Not here! I got the Thai chicken salad bowl with the smoothie "make it a meal" add on. All the ingredients are fresh and nicely prepared (still surprised by that chicken, actually really good). Also the smoothies are great, I added the Island Green smoothie (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple). It's basically the texture of the Icey's you'd get at the movie theater, nice and cold no chunks. read more

I would not come back. I ordered curbside pick up. There is a big sign outside the store that states call number for curbside pick up. I called the number three times 973 486 6231 and no one answered the phone. It was sent to their voicemail. I had to go in the store that was crowded during the pandemic. This was my first and last time using this establishment. read more

The smoothies here are meals within themselves! Very filling and delicious! The sandwiches are also great and you can tweak them how you would like. If you download the app, you'll be able to join their rewards program and gain points. Service is always on point. The wait could be a bit long when it's lunch time but that's normal considering they are rather popular in the area. read more

amazing smoothies, get one at least once a week. the acai one is the best. Terrible food though.

I love this place. Usually smoothies are ready less than 10 min if you order online. When I order smoothies with peanut butter it doesn't come well. Once big chunk of protein powder was stuck bottom of a cup. Today big chunk of peanut butter was stuck bottom of a cup. I love peanut butter and I appreciate you use lots of peanut butter but hope it comes little better way next time. But I still love this place. I'll definitely come back. read more
