    I usually love tropical smoothie Cafe, and have never been disappointed but today I grub hubbed my usual order, a carribean jerk chicken wrap with extra sauce and a side of potatos. It took forever to get here, over an hour, which could be grub hubs fault but immediately I noticed the bag was so light. I open it up to find a half empty wrap, about the same size of a taco bell burrito honestly, hardly any sauce let alone the extra I had paid for, the sweet potato bowl had 5 little potato pieces in it. Very disappointed and won't be coming back for a while for sure.

    The worst Tropical Smoothie location I’ve ever been to. I have given this place 3 chances to get it together and each time I am left disappointed and regret spending $8 on a smoothie that’s made horribly! First occasion I order a Mango Smoothie no sugar. It was incredibly sweet. I took it back and the employee admitted they added sugar and politely agreed to replace it. I left satisfied. The next occasion I ordered through the app and went in to pick it up , 20 minutes later the smoothie was still not ready. I asked the employee about my order , they hadn’t even started making it!! The employee quickly made the smoothie and it tasted horrible. Not blended properly I had chunks of mango and ice all throughout the drink. I left very disappointed and told myself I would never go back. A week later I decided to give them ONE LAST CHANCE!! I went back ordered my usual mango smoothie no sugar and omg it was AWFUL! Tasted like mango puke. I went back and asked for a completely different smoothie (kiwi quencher) made regular because how could you possibly mess that up. Well they messed that up too , the smoothie was incredibly sweet. Like drinking pure liquid sugar. I was livid and left disappointed yet again. 3 strikes you’re out!! I WILL NEVER GO HERE EVER AGAIN !!! 0/10

    I came through Tropical Smoothie last week for the very first time. I’m just getting to write a review, but I couldn’t let too much time pass without sharing about our amazing experience! The food and smoothies were delicious! My kids loved them! It took me a while to order because it was my first time there and there were a ton of menu options! The team working was fast and efficient. The manager on duty was kind and personable. She very kindly gave us one of our smoothies for free since it was our first time coming through! I lost the receipt, so I can’t remember her name (I think it started with a K)! But what an incredible experience! Thank you for making my day!
