- SSSir Retired Slim2 days ago5.0We’ve been a regular at this Tropical Smoothie for years, but never had the chance to write a review. Yesterday, we popped in, and wow, the store was spotless! The manager and her team were working hard and seemed genuinely happy with their place. Even though it was after Gen Z rush hour, I was so impressed with the store, staff, and overall vibe that I just had to share my thoughts. I couldn’t leave without mentioning the real star of the show—our smoothies! They were made to order and came out perfectly. Maybe I didn’t mention it before because people tend to focus on the negatives these days, but I wanted to say a big thank you to the ladies. Keep up the fantastic work at your store!
- CMCare MarieNov 3, 20255.0I always come to this location after work ever evening and order the same thing.One peanut paradise with extra bananas and extra peanut butter.At first I would only prefer the young lady with the curly bun to complete this order , But I quickly realized no matter the staff member I receive the same quality and care with each experience.keep up the good work
- SGstarlight girlNov 3, 20251.0Came in at 8pm and stood there for about 10 mins and no one came out, they looked at me and kept doing dishes so I left.
- HSHannah SajiNov 2, 20251.0I had to wait 30+ minutes for just 1 smoothie when there was 3 staffs working. They were all just super slow working with no sense of urgency! Very bad customer service!
- JPJessica PacettiOct 24, 20251.0I order breakfast each time I decide to visit this location. Not many options for breakfast at 7am. But every single time these past few months I've placed a online order, it's almost never correct or it's over cooked and they give an attitude when you go back in to have them correct it. The all American wrap is either falling apart or they don't put cheese inside or they decide to put whatever meat selection inside. The smoothie as well didn't have any flavor. So overall just disappointed in this location. If y'all don't want people to order online at 7am, then please disable the app orders until y'all can figure a better time frame to accept online orders in the morning. I've held out long enough on not posting but I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing this issues.
