    Tropical Smoothie Cafe has THE best customer service in addition to having fabulous smoothies. They have wide variety of flavors healthy & sweet. We had a neighborhood event & asked for 30 smoothies of five different flavors including: Margarita, Piña Colada, Mango, Very Berry . . . Isaac made sure the order was spot on accurate & on time:) The smoothies were such a hit ~ half an hour later we ordered another 30. Isaac really paid attention to details & "left room" for everyone's favorite supplements. Thank you Tropical Smoothie Cafe

    I ordered their açaí smoothie and it was good and refreshing. The only thing I wish the company can do is to become more environmental and discontin using micro-foam containers. But taste and service wise, it was good!

    I absolutely loved my mango smoothie... totally recommended. This place was so nice and clean. Fast and great service.

    The Jerk Chicken wrap was an absolute delight!!! It is not traditional in that it's jerk chicken, sauce, wrap, rather it is a lovely combination of Jerk chicken, rice, beans, pineapple and more...all optional to remove if one prefers. The wrap is a nice healthy size, cut into two halves (this photo is of the surviving half which will meet its demise for dinner! ) I wanted to highlight the wrap because this is a smoothie cafe but don't sleep on the food, my meal was exceptional!!!! I got the Detox Island Green which tastes so good but after my wrap, it was a wrap and I have to save it for later enjoyment! I'll definitely order from here again. Oh, if you are ordering for delivery, let me share that the food and smoothies were properly wrapped and contained for travel. I really feel like this is a great find!

    I was visiting DC and while downtown, my cousin and I decided to make a pit stop to get smoothie. I had the sunset and my cousin had the blimey limey. It was delicious and yummy!

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.

The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office.

The Crunchy Boi is probably their most popular sandwich and it's lighter than you would think considering it's filled with potato chips. I think it's worth trying once. The Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, has never failed me. It's balanced with an absurd amount of arugula against the meat, and it's never dry.

The sandwich was stuffed with fried eggplant, grilled zucchini, stracciatella, tomato, arugula and roasted red pepper spread. The Parmigiano sandwich with eggplant was more like a Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese, greens, tomato, and crispy thinly sliced eggplant stuffed between scrumptious moist Focaccia bread. This isn't a traditional sloppy Joe's Eggplant Parm sandwich (there's no marinara sauce!) While the ingredients were neatly tucked inside and I enjoyed the sandwich, the sandwich particularly was a little bit dry and I think a bit of sauce like pesto or marinara would go a long way. The Nutella Brownie is best eaten at room temperature, it tastes chewy and pretty awful cold. Let it thaw.
