Tropical Smoothie Café is easily one of my favorite spots. Their smoothies are always fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I like them. The staff is friendly, fast, and the shop is always clean.
We also use them for catering all the time, and they never disappoint. Orders are accurate, on time, beautifully packaged, and a total crowd-pleaser. Whether it’s a quick smoothie run or a catered meeting, they knock it out of the park every single time. Highly recommend!

I love Tropical Smoothie, and usually order 1 or 2 times per week.
Unfortunately I placed an online order today and it went to a chicago location (my mistake, but an honest one). I noticed when I went to pick up my order, I spoke to the manager/owner who was working and explained the mixup and requested if they could help me out and make the order. They flat out told me no, and stated they cannot help me because they wont make any money from me. Most respectable business owners understand good customer service, however this franchise clearly doesn't value it's customers, only their profits.
