Blimey Limey
Jason P.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe recently opened near CCSU. They serve smoothies, sandwiches, etc. The inside is clean and modern. There are a few tables. My son and I were nearby and decided to stop for Smoothies. He also ordered a Kids Classic Grilled Cheese. I ordered the Blimey Limey, which has strawberry, pineapple, lime and orange juice according to the menu. It was huge and cost $6.99. As my wise friend Alicia noted in her review, smaller size options would be nice because I will probably never drink that much smoothie. I'd rather pay less and get less. I didn't see them make the Smoothies or add the ingredients, but it didn't have the flavor or texture my smoothies have when I make smoothies from fresh fruit at home. It tasted good. Sweet and acidic. I just don't know how healthy it was. I had a bite of my son's grilled cheese. He liked it and I thought it was pretty good for a place I picked for smoothies. 3.5 Stars

Stopped in to give it a try and everything was still new . Staff was very friendly, menu looks great! Paninis, salads. Sandwiches and smoothies! I ordered a smoothie and ohh man! That thing was huge! Only comes in 1 size, payed almost 9.00 for it ( ordered a PB and banana shake with no Protein) but it was like a slushy instead of like smoothie and it just didn't taste like fresh fruits in there! Tasted processed to me and not made out of fresh ingredients. I honestly didn't pay attention how it was made but I just wasnt too happy. A small or medium is filling and that large was HUGE!! And I just didn't like the taste. Maybe I'll stick to a salad next time?? Maybe if they had small drink Size snd trying something else?! I'm Willing to give them Another shot and Try something else. Just wasnt happy as a 1st timer with my smoothy .

Staff was SUPER helpful! At 32 weeks pregnant I went in knowing I wanted something with watermelon but the menu was just too intriguing to decide! I ended up walking out with a Watermelon smoothie (it also had mint and i believe lime -- it was super yummy but unfortunately just a summer menu item) and the Chia Oatmeal Pudding Bowl which was MIND BLOWING!! I was satisfied, refreshed, and hydrated. The service alone made me a customer that's going to come back for sure!

Yesterday I stopped by Tropical Smoothie Cafe, it's just a short drive away from CCSU. It was filled with college students, even on a Sunday. The inside has some bar stools, and some regular chairs and tables. It is very clean, vibrant and inviting inside. The menu is large, I had to let a few people go in front of me in line, while I made my selection. They have smoothies of course, flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches and salads. I think they should add açaí bowls to the menu. I decided to go with the Island Green smoothie. This is a blend of spinach, kale, mango, pineapple & banana. Or they'd like us to think that.. I never saw a single fresh fruit. I saw them scoop powder. My smoothie was massive, this must've been 20 ounces. I paid $7.99. I'll have to agree with some of my friends who've already reviewed Tropical Smoothie Cafe, that less smoothie for a lesser cost would have been a nice option. There are no size options. This was a tasty smoothie. The banana was the most prominent, then the mango and kale. It was bright green. It stayed cold and fresh in my car, while I ran some errands. I might come back, if they had smaller size options of smoothies. Also seeing some actual fresh fruit, would be beneficial for everyone.

5 stars for the customer service provided by Izabella!She was so nice and knowledgeable! She was able to keep her calm with a lot of customers and made the orders in no time!Lovely ambiance and I really liked my Island Green Smoothie !

I grew up with tropical smoothie in the Midwest, so I'm happy we finally got one right down the street in Newington. It's your typical fast casual smoothie/ sandwich & salad spot. Decent sized menu with good prices. I got two smoothies and a sandwich for 23 dollars. I like the option of adding a smoothie to your meal. The drinks were huge!! You for sure get your monies worth and beyond. In my opinion, it's definitely worth checking out.

Island green smoothies were fantastic! In addition, the best part of the visit was how friendly the staff was and how accommodating they were to their customers' needs. We will be back!

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is great! As soon as I walked in, this establishment took me right to island vibes. The decor and colors were so bright and cheerful. There were orange stools all along a bar top and turquoise chairs and table sets on the other side with fun artwork on the walls. I received a coupon from a flyer, so I decided to come check this place out, and I'm glad i did. There were options of flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, and salad bowls. I decided on the chicken bacon ranch flatbread that had chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, and ranch sauce. It was yummy. The meal came with a side, and the options included chips, a kale salad, or a choice of fruit. My coupon also included a 24ounce Smoothie. There were so many options, but I got the chocolate peanut butter and banana one. Everything was fresh and tasty. This place was super clean and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed my visit and will come back to try the breakfast options they offer.

got the supergreen caesar chicken wrap and received what i kinda expected from a food chain. i would've liked a bit more chicken and a little less lettuce so i could capture the crispiness of the chicken. the greens could've been more crunchy. it is served warm, for the record. i prefer wraps served cold but it was a decent quick bite for the cheap price. what was notable though was the island green smoothie, which was flavorful. could've been a bit more thick in texture but it came in a very generous portion for the price!

The large meal sized shake is $12 which I think is reasonable. I've found my favorites and they've all been delicious, even the ones I don't get anymore. If you ask, they have a menu behind the counter you can look at for the macros, which I LOVE!!! I'm always looking for the most protein and fewest calories. The Crave is currently my go to shake based on that info. Service is good and there's an app and a drive through, super convenient and I feel like I've had something healthy after a shake! My hubby likes the protein bites too; but the macros don't work for me. LOTS of calories and not enough protein to justify it, for me personally. I was reluctant to go here, and now I'm a regular and a huge fan!

Definitely worth checking out & can't wait to already be back! The staff were also pretty nice.

I walked in with the intent of getting a smoothie, which I did, but also ended up purchasing the shrimp wrap & a Mac & cheese dog. The seating is in abundance, with the choice of booths, tables & high tables. The decor is hip & chic with their colorful painting & graphics directly on the walls. I would have sat to enjoy the ambiance but I had the furbaby in the car. I went with the Pure Bliss smoothie & it hit the spot. I definitely tasted the fresh ginger & also chunks of the fruit. They don't have a designated dog smoothie, like I've seen at other places, but you do have the option of building your own. In addition to smoothies, they also offer acai, oatmeal & dragonfruit bowls. There's something for everyone! If you get the cheese dogs, get extra napkins. This is isn't your typical topping. This is a whole lot of mac & cheese shells drowning a 9" hotdog. I was in cheese heaven. The wrap was also tasty. I without a doubt loved the corn dusted medium sized shrimp. With all the healthy ingredients, there was not a feeling of guilt in site as a ate every crumb. The side are their house potato chips. Normally, I'm the oddball who does not enjoy this kind but I found my hand dipping in the bag multiple times. They are well salted & peppered, no soggy ones included. There menu is so extensive, it'll take a few trips to get through it all. No complaints here.

He is a tough critic when we go to other smoothie places. I don't usually opt into getting a smoothie myself because of my strawberry allergy. Most of their smoothies have strawberry in them. This location in Newington, went above and beyond. The staff were able to swap out the strawberries for another fruit! They were so kind and helpful. I got the Pineapple Surf, replacing the strawberries for raspberries! I don't know if all Smoothie King locations would make this accommodation and if you are highly allergic to something, take precaution for chances or cross contamination. It was just nice to enjoy a smoothie! We return to this location often because we are always in the area. Last time, I learned they had a special menu that the shop put together. The smoothies were dessert themed and I got Blueberry Cobbler--which didn't have any strawberry. This Smoothie King's service is always fast, never too busy even in summer, the shop is cool, and very clean. Without a doubt, we will be back soon since we are always in the area. It's been a must this summer.

I certainly haven't had one of their smoothies since then, nor have I stepped inside. Well last week I decided to see what's new on the menu. This Robeks' location is very tiny. It can only sit two patrons at a time. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. I decided to go for the toast with peanut butter and banana. There were only two people working here, they weren't particularly friendly. They did make what I requested. The bread was a very generous slice of toasted Sourdough Bread. I certainly hope it came from The Hartford Baking Company, which is next door from this Robeks, but I don't think it did. There was an equally generous spreading of peanut butter, followed by sliced banana, honey and chia seeds. It arrived in a to go container. Which is wasteful, since I planned on sitting inside. This was pretty delicious! I love peanut butter with banana, it's sweet and nutty! This was $6.99. Their other options of toast also look pretty tasty! If you like juices, smoothies, and the similar, stop by Robeks and give them a try!

They have a variety of standard shakes and also seasonal flavors. I went with the chocolate, covered strawberry, a standard favorite of mine, as well as the scoop of peanut butter powder as well. They have small, medium and large sizes with calorie counts between 200 and 500 cal depending on what size you order. It's a great way to get a nutrition shake when you're on the run and you don't have time to grab something more substantial. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors.

"You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as…read morestrawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time" (Chris Stapleton) Smoothies at Liquid Nirvana may not contain any Tennessee whiskey or wine, but their sweet concoctions contain strawberry, honey, and a ton of other naturally delicious and healthy ingredients. Two things struck me right away when I walked into Liquid Nirvana. The first was their humongous menu board offering dozens of amazing juices, boosts, bites, bowls, smoothie bowls, granola, seasonals and specials. You might be well served to check out their menu before you visit, because reading everything will take you a while. The other feature that jumped out at me was the large number of games and kid-friendly things everywhere - a pint-sized blackboard easel with chalk and pastels, table sized tic tac toe boards, a full-sized Connect Four game, a kiddie sized basketball hoop, and a Skee ball game. If you didn't know you were in a juice and smoothie bar, you might think you were in a daycare center! The interior is adorable! Plenty of bright popping color, interesting artwork, gorgeous color art on their storefront glass, Bric a Brac décor, and three small tables that can seat a total of nine customers. Everything here is made fresh to order for natural ingredients -yogurt, milks, fruits, and vegetables. No powdered scoops of anything. They have a sign on the wall letting you know that "since we make everything from scratch, your order may take 10-1 minutes to make". Well, let me tell ya that every second of our wait was worth it. We bought a medium sized Almond Joy Nirvana Smoothie ($9) with coconut, honey milk, almond, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and banana. The banana and chocolate flavors really popped.
