    I placed an order online at 9:57 Am and was given an ETA set by system at 10:07. 10 mins is not bad at all if the expectation is met. I get to the store to pick up at 10:05. I fully expect to wait a 5 to 10 more minutes as there are 7 other customers ahead of me. After 20 mins of standing there 2 customers walked out, 4 more still standing waiting to give their orders, I was finally addressed by an employee to see what I needed. Gave my name to find my drink had sat on the shelf behind the counter for 15 mins and my food had been on the shelf above the mixing station for 10 mins. I got my food as the employees continued to ignore walk in customers at the counter. Been shopping at this location weekly since August and his shop is getting worse weekly. Poor staffing by ownership, poor customer service and communication by employees.

    If I could give 10 stars, I would. Tropical Smoothie Café isn’t just a place to grab a drink it’s an experience. The second you walk in, you feel it: the energy, the vibe, the color, and the smiles from the staff that make you feel like you’re part of the family. Let’s start with the team, these people care. Every smoothie is made with precision and passion, like they’re blending sunshine and good energy right into your cup. You don’t just taste it you feel it. The way they greet you, the speed of service, and the positive energy they bring every single time? Unreal. Now the smoothies… man, they’re on another level. Each sip is fresh, cold, and bursting with real fruit flavor and none of that fake syrup stuff. You can tell they actually use quality ingredients. Whether it’s the Bahama Mama, Sunrise Sunset, or Peanut Paradise, everyone is a hit. Even their food deserves its own applause. Flatbreads, wraps, and bowls everything is flavorful and perfectly balanced. It’s healthy, filling, and still feels like a treat. Let’s talk marketing and vibe whoever’s running their brand knows exactly what they’re doing. The music, the colors, the layout it all screams energy, freshness, and good living. The moment you walk in, you get that “I’m doing something good for myself today” feeling. Tropical Smoothie Café is more than a stop it’s a destination. Whether you’re starting your day, grabbing a quick lunch, or looking to recharge after a workout, this place hits every mark. If you haven’t been yet, GO TODAY. Treat yourself to something that tastes amazing, feels good, and lifts your mood. Tropical Smoothie Café is the real deal fresh, fun, and full of life

    My favorite tropical smoothie location! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming the moment I walk in. Team members take the time to explain smoothie options when I’m having a hard time deciding.My orders are always ready fast, and they make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The manager Ty is always so accommodating and makes sure all of his customers are happy!

    Tropical Smoothie Café has become one of my favorite places to treat myself. The atmosphere is always bright and welcoming, and the team genuinely makes you feel cared for. You can taste the freshness in every sip — their smoothies are smooth, flavorful, and made with love. Whether I’m getting a quick lunch or relaxing with a smoothie bowl, I always leave feeling good inside and out. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out!♥️ keep up the good work !

    Probably the most rude customer service I’ve ever experienced. Young lady with the braids was seriously unhappy to see us walk in the door. We ordered anyway - she tapped her nails when we weren’t fast enough making our decision. Disagreed with me when I asked to sub an ingredient, “it’s not in that drink” but it was clearly written on the menu. Smoothies were great and delivered by another employee - who was clearly scared of her and avoiding any interaction. Might want to have a meeting with your team members about customer service.
