The smoothies are so delicious and fresh, this place also has food. I look at the online menu in the parking lot before going in because their are so many options. My husband likes their special version of coleslaw. I enjoy the vegetarian options. My Mom likes their chicken caesar salad. I am trying a new flavor smoothie once a week. It's a nice healthy treat, if you are more into chocolate chip cookies, they have those too.
Although it is a smoothie place, and yes the smoothies are amazing. I have to brag about their food. I ordered a chicken flat bread and it was amazing. I have never tasted anything this wonderful after the first bite. I will definitely be back to try different combinations of smoothies and food.
This experience was a 5, just got the seasonal tropical smoothie (pineapple, passion fruit, cherries). It was actually flavorful. The reason its a 4 (at least the 13th ave location this applies to since I usually go to that one more often) is sometimes the smoothie flavors are bland and don't really taste like youd expect if they have flavor at all, it's like they add to much ice or not enough of the other ingredients. And it varies (flavor wise) since I change what flavor I get and each time but when I get a previously tried on its not consistent quality (again flavor wise). Food I usually get Chipotle flat bread, that is pretty consistent and I think it's super good.
Placed an order and the food was great but my smoothie had huge chunks of ice and food in it.
These smoothies were huge and fantastic! We got the Avocolada and the Aćai berry smoothie. My kids loved them, and they were both delicious! Will be coming in again!
I hate the way all of these food places look—that clean, stock-photo-in-real-life look—and this place is that look incarnate. When I die and go to hell, mine will look like Tropical Smoothie Cafe. The smoothie was super good though and none of the employees looked like they wanted to be there which is a huge plus
go in and order. I love their smoothies. don't use their app. they canceled my order (20 minutes after it was supposed to have already been delivered) and I never got my food. I've left 3 requests for a refund, since I never received my food/drinks, but they haven't responded. it's been a week and a half since.
Food was amazing as always, however the two smoothies we received today just didn't taste as good.
I really wish they had a drive thru window. I would definitely indulge more often.
Their time management still lacks at this place (on 45th). They need more employees behind the counter and another food-making station. The food and smoothies that they serve is no doubt, good, but the wait time to receive a food order is insane. I (and a handful of others) waited at least 30 mins for food to be made. The wait for my smoothie was way quicker, but by the time I received my sandwich, my smoothie had pretty much turned into cold juice. Even people who made orders online in advance had to wait like 15 mins for the rest of their orders to be made. I totally understand and get that almost every place is short staffed bc of the state that the world is in right now, but on the day that I came to this place there was another employee, ON SHIFT, who eventually came out from the back to help the two young ladies who were clearly struggling to multi-task the taking of the orders and making of the orders, all while people kept walking in and filling up the place. Perhaps there needs to be a four-man crew here? That way if someone is on break, there are always 3 people behind the counter. And maybe, as stated earlier, invest in another food making station, bc it seems as if the food takes WAY longer to prepare than the smoothies. They can clearly afford it as this place is always packed with people when I go.
