    Fruit bowls are not good at all here. It was not worth the $10 at all. To start off the size is too small for the price. The fruit is from cans. I ordered a dragon fruit bowl and both the pineapple and mangos were from a can and not fresh at all. The goji berries were dried out and not fresh at all. Very disappointed and will not be ordering bowls there anything. Everbowl is a lot better and fresh.

    Tropical Smoothie Café is always such a solid pick — the smoothies are fresh, the food’s tasty, and the staff are usually super friendly and quick. Everything always tastes bright and clean, and it’s one of those places that somehow makes you feel a little healthier just walking in. Definitely my go-to when I want something easy, refreshing, and actually good every time!

    I’ve been to so many smoothie places in my life. Tropical Smoothie Café? That’s literally lifestyle. A spiritual experience. I walked in feeling like shit and walked out feeling revitalized.The staff at my usual location? 10/10. They’re actually angels in aprons. You can tell they’ve been worked HARD since it’s the only good smoothie place in town — yet they still smile, still blend that smoothie, and still hand me my green detox within seconds of taking my order. The smoothies are smooth (obviously), the wraps slap, and the vibes are top tier. Now… let’s talk about the Blairs Ferry location……. If you wanted to know what disappointment tastes like, just go there and order literally anything. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle of smoothies I swear… Your happiness, your order accuracy, and your will to live all mysteriously disappear. Every time I’ve gone there, something has gone wrong in a new, way. Once they forgot the banana in my banana smoothie. Another time, I swear I waited so long for a burrito that I started rethinking all of my life choices. It’s not even that the workers are rude, they just suck. They look you in the eye and say “it’ll be ready soon,” and you just know they’re lying but also kind of respect the confidence. Meanwhile, the other Tropical Smoothie is out here are building community, curing hangovers, and blending joy itself into a cup. Blairs Ferry? They’re blending regret. So if you’re ever craving a smoothie and want to actually enjoy it, drive across town to this location. I beg of you. Because Blairs Ferry location? That’s where good smoothies go to die. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1000/10 for Edgewood, -100/10 for Blairs Ferry.

    Tropical Smoothie Café is honestly the best — their smoothies taste super fresh and full of real fruit, not fake or watered down like the blairsferry rd one. Every time I go, the drinks are blended perfectly and always hit the spot. You can actually taste the difference in quality! Their food is just as good too — the wraps, flatbreads, and quesadillas are flavorful and made fresh. The staff is always friendly, and the whole place has a chill vibe. Overall, Tropical Smoothie on Edgewood is way better than the blairsferry one and it’s totally worth going to!
