I spent $9 and I got what is a handful of salad. This was in Winchester, VA. I like the smoothies and some of the wraps. This was the first time I got a salad here. This is a pathetic excuse for a salad for $9. What the heck are they doing. read more

Pro: delivery app. Con: price, bad food Was working at the hospital and my coworker suggested that we should order some random food through the door dash app. So, while randomly scrolling through the app I remember eating some good food from tropical smoothie back in Maryland a while ago so we decide to order here. I had the chicken bacon ranch flatbread and the mango magic smoothie. The flatbread was very dry and the flavor profile was flat. The only good thing was that the smoothie was very tropical tasting. All in all, my experience with the food was very disappointing and the cost was high. I don't see myself ordering from here again in the future. read more

Got my order wrong, strange fibers in my smoothie and watered down. Just overall not happy with my experience. I got a pesto flatbread and a buffalo chicken wrap, was given two pesto flatbreads. Please do better read more

While the employees were very kind, the store was very dirty. When entering, I immediately noticed trash all over the floor and dirty tables. Despite nobody else being in line to order and nobody being in the drive-thru, we had to wait a couple of minutes for an employee to come up to the register. This did not bother us much as we needed time to decide what to order. I ordered the Kiwi Quencher, my husband ordered the Bahama Mama, and we ordered a Jetty Punch to take to my dad. While waiting for the smoothies, I had to use the restroom. I was shocked at the uncleanliness of the bathroom. The toilet paper holder was empty and literally falling off the wall. There was nowhere to hang my purse and the floors were quite dirty, in addition to every other surface. It was obvious the bathroom hadn't been maintained in quite a while. The smoothies were all delicious, as always but for $23 for 3 drinks, I'd think the store would be kept a bit cleaner, especially during slow times. read more

Absolutely awful. I used to love this place but it has seriously gone downhill. My mom and I just waited half an hour for our order (one smoothie, one wrap, and an açaí bowl). The guy working in there was pulling the weight of the whole team while three girls behind the counter just goofed off and couldn't even greet customers waiting in line. When I finally got my wrap it was wrong, I had asked for ranch on the side instead of in it. Not a big deal except I didn't have another 30 minutes to wait for another one. The only reason I'm leaving two stars instead of one is because the manager was very sweet and quickly remade it for me. My mom's Açaí bowl was frozen, it's not fresh. We are so tired of spending money on food that isn't even halfway decent. I hope the guy working in there and the manager get appreciated for their work because they were the only ones doing any work out of the 5 people I saw in there. read more

Waited in the drive through line for over 30 minutes. For a smoothie. Took over 15 just to get my order and another 15 to get it.

Walked into an empty restaurant with one employee behind the counter. No greeting what so ever. She walked towards the back of the store and left me up front. My order was waiting for me to pick it up but I needed a cup holder. I can hear all the chatter in the back so literally had to yell "hello " a few times to get someone's attention. Finally a young lady came out and I asked her for a drink holder. She reached up on the shelf to get a cup holder then tossed it across the counter to me without saying a word. On the plus side, I expected to wait on my order but it was already prepared when I walked in. read more

This place is disgustingly dirty!!! The service is so slow I'm not sure how they stay in business!!! Ordered, waited and waited while server made two smoothies, neither mine. Let them both sit, then handed them out, nice and watery my favorite!!! Then I asked if I had been skipped... she said no... hard to find good help these days! read more

I never even write reviews, but my experience was so bad here today that I just had to warn other people. There was not a single employee there that was not extremely rude. So disappointed because I love tropical smoothie so much, how does it take 20 minutes to make one wrap. read more

food is okay. service time is awful - 20 minutes for a sandwich with noone else in the store and four employees present. read more

Placed an order, it was accepted and paid for. When I went to pick it up, the store was closed. Called later and was told I would be issued a refund. I was never refunded. Terrible service and management. Also reached out to corporate customer service and no response. read more

On hot days like these, you need something ice cold, refreshing, filling, and flavorful. The smoothies at this tropical café are all that. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great playlist too, included some real bangers. If you don't like smoothies, they have other options for you! There's really no reason not to come. IN RESPONSE TO THE HATERS: it is very clean here, no ceiling fan dust read more

You will sit in the drive thru for 10+ minutes even if it's only you in the drive Thru. Multiple cars, you'll be there forever. I just watched the three employee make my smoothie, set it by the window, then proceed to all go laughing together into the back out of sight, take literally over 4 minutes before returning and handing the smoothie that just sat inside the window instead of handing to me. Mind you, I had two customers behind me so their smoothies clearly werent being made either. The way these children act is ridiculous and they need some sort of managemen, it makes no sense. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - My smoothie, sat down by the kid with died blonde hair tips, sitting for almost 5 minutes while him & 2 other employees didn't do their job - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

First time at this location. Wait time was high. quality and customer service was extra low Customer engagement was little - we were not greeted when we entered - we were not serviced or acknowledged until we were standing around for 5 plus min - the smoothie we purchased was 3/4 full and was barely blended, large chucks. Lastly the smoothie did not taste like it had all the required components read more

This is now the second time I've waited 30+ minutes in line not to mention a separate occasion where there was no one answering the drive through window yet the business was open and no signage displaying they are closed. Do not waste your time here. There are numerous documented complaints/reviews of this location yet nothing has improved. read more

This is a sorry ass establishment. If i could leave negative stars and get this place shut down I would. The absolute worst service i've ever seen on this side of the Mississippi. Why does it take 2 people to put fucking straws into a cup? Especially when there are 6+ cars waiting in the line. Nobody came to the window or the speaker for 40 minutes. I hope the manager completely changes their staff and gets more competent people read more

I've come here multiple times in the past both drive through and walk in. There's never more than 3-4 cars in front of me but somehow I wait 20 minutes to place an order on drive through and ten more to pay and get my one smoothie, that they always make wrong. It would be faster for me to drive to target and buy my own blender and make my own smoothie at this point. Also I'm currently writing this waiting for my smoothie. The workers on drive through also don't have good customer service and you can never tell if they're listening to you. read more

Don't waste your time. They grow the fruit while you're in line. It will take 30 min to get a "smoothie" which is just ice and sugar.

Overpriced considering you never know how your smoothie will turn out or how long it will take to throw a couple of oddball ingredients together for what amounts to a watered down 711 slurpede read more

Unfortunately the first time we waited in the drive thru line for 20 minutes, we were told they were out of ingredients (as we watched someone walk in saying they had them). Oh well, stuff happens. Then we decided to try again on a different day and at 6:00 pm on a Thursday, we were told they were drive thru only. No signage on the door. Nothing. After seeing the line backed up and not wanting to risk them not having ingredients, we decided to go to the other tropical smoothie 10 minutes out of our way. Yes, I understand staffing can be an issue but based on the average rating, I shouldn't be surprised this happened. But if you are going to close the inside, lock the door and put a sign up. While we parked, three others hopped in line. Just a bummer. read more

HORRIBLE. I am never one to complain about terrible service but I feel compelled to write this review. This is my 3rd and LAST visit to this place. Not only have all 3 of my experiences involved 15+ minute wait times, my smoothies are watered down, bland, and over priced. I honestly don't understand how this place remains operating. It's almost as if they intentionally create a terrible experience?! It's frustrating because the only other smoothie place I know of is in the mall, but they are not open by the time I leave the gym. read more

my first and last time ordering from here. I ordered a strawberry and banana smoothie and a turkey bacon ranch sandwich the smoothie tasted like I was drinking frozen water. I don't mind paying the price that's not the problem it just tasted bad. I wasn't going to ask for money back just to replace it The worker gets on phone and calls someone gives me the phone and I explained to him the smoothie tasted like water and he said we never have any complaints and hung up phone them when I get my sandwich I had no bacon on it and a tomato so small my child could eat it. terrible customer service read more

These people take forever to make smoothies and even take orders like wtf spend your time and money somewhere better

My husband and I went through the drive thru this evening. It was our first time, and it will be our last visit. The line in the drive thru was quite extensive. We sat, patiently, for over 15 minutes. So, of course, we presumed that this place must be the best of the best, right? Wrong. After ordering 4 smoothies and a turkey, bacon, ranch, we then sat at the window for another 7 minutes to wait on our order. The employees were all very lax in their demeanor. None of them moved with any sort of a purpose. It was a despicable display of what their customer service looks like. Once we received our 4 smoothies, all of which were oozing from under the lids, we were asked to wait, yet again, for the sandwich. After another 6 minutes, we were handed the bag with the only food item they "prepared" for us. It should've been THE BEST thing I'd ever eaten after waiting all that time, right? Again, wrong. The turkey was dry and brittle, it was like it had been sitting out all day under a heat lamp. The bacon is that prepackaged filth that you see at every fast food place around. The ranch was put on in such a haphazard way, it was impossible to hold the sandwich, without being drenched in it. The lettuce was the star of this sandwich. Really?! Lettuce? The owners/ managers should be ASHAMED of the product they're putting out into the world. I would be absolutely mortified if I was associated with this establishment. read more

Foods decent. Depends on who is working. Only come here if you have an hour to spare waiting on 2 people in front of you. I usually choose tropical because it's healthier than most "fast food" places. Staff are usually very amazing. But some other times you'll get teenagers doing their own thing not caring. I think they should pay their staff better and it would improve this location a lot. Bring in more serious people who are there to work, not play. I'd say just my opinion but the rest of the reviews agree with me. Has to be bad management. read more

i just waited in the line with my three children for over 30 minutes while the teenagers talked to themselves and took care of the customers inside and left us people in the drive thru. this was horrible my children really wanted a smoothie, and after waiting at the speaker for 30 minutes I left. I'm so upset read more

First I waited in line for 30/40 mins. Then the girl had an attitude as if I was bothering her. When I got to the window she again acted annoyed because I was using my app to pay and it took me 10 extra seconds to get it pulled up. I get handed my smoothie w no straw here t I waited to see if or was in my bag and it wasn't.. so I attempted speaking to the same girl w the attitude problem and she ignored me so I had to knock on the window and she said wait for a straw annoyed once again by me asking for a straw that is required to drink my smoothie. I ordered a hummus wrap w no cheese which this comes w lettuce avocado hummus pickled onions and black beans- I get the wrap- there is cheese, no pickles onions no avocado.. it tastes like watery rice. I had to turn around to go back to the store and as soon as I pull up they lock the door. So I knock on the door and they're looking at me but ignore me so I had to knock harder and the same nasty girl comes to the dole while talking on her cell. She once again acts bothered, I proceed to tell her the issue w my order- no apology was given and she made sure to emphasize it's 9 and they are technically closed. Well ma'am I was sitting there 30/40 mins- it had been maybe 1 mins since I got my order- it isn't not my problem that you messed it up - and no one should make the customer that patient enough to stay in line - feel line they're in the wrong for needing their food made properly. I am vegan and can't eat cheese. I'm addition aside from the amount I spent, I waited a long time for the food. She had an attitude, took my bag, said fine I'll remake it but I have to close the door. Again didn't say an apology, didn't ask what was missing, didn't say you're welcome when I said thank you... nothing. Literally one is the worst experiences I have ever had with the service industry in my life. I will not allow my kids to go there anymore after school and spend their money on this place. If she doesn't like her job, I recommend she find another and def shouldn't be working w the public. I was extremely nice but the way she spoke to me, well made it clear I was not happy. Don't go to Tropical smoothie folks- it isn't what it use to be read more

I entered this location on Sunday night, 20 October 2019, at 7:30pm. The store sign states it closes at 9pm. I ordered and sat down to eat, the only customer in the store. About 7:40 the lights were turned off on me. I got up to see what was going on and an employee told me they were closed. I mentioned the sign and was told, "Yeah, we'll, we're closing early." I asked for the manager's contact information and was told, "I'm the manager, my name is Tristan." I had to leave my uneaten meal at the table. So, if you like that kind of service then this is the place for you. The auto-reply below is all that customers receive. I had already entered the information from this atrocious experience in the link for Tropical Smoothie and they paid no attention. No wonder the in-store service is so atrociously poor. read more

I waited for so long for 2 smoothies and a quesadilla. Do not come here if you are looking to make a quick stop

Stop here frequently when doing errands nearby. The food is all made to order. The smoothies are about all I can eat. That is because of surgery cannot consume solid foods. So what otherwise is a boring diet, they offer such an amazing variety of tasty and healthy smoothies that this is my go to place locally and whenever I travel. read more

Went into the cafe to order a smoothie today (5/3/21) and I was told by a rude employee that they were only taking online and drive though orders. There was no sign on the door to indicate this so I was extremely disappointed. I will never return to this location. read more

This places drive thru takes ridiculously long. I ordered one island green smoothie and have been waiting for over 9 minutes now.

The amount of time you have to wait is ridiculous!! We ordered 2 smoothies. They took our payment and we sat for well over 30 min. How can 2 smoothies take that long?! We couldn't leave because we had paid. Didn't even apologize for the wait. Very poorly run!! Don't go there!!! read more
