I've gone to this location a few times today was my first bad experience. The entire time I could tell the employees were having issues. Then all of a sudden they start yelling and cursing at each other. Not exactly professional. They also forgot part of my order I would've said something but they were too busy fighting so I walked out even though I paid for it.

Decent. Not as good as the location on Valencia by the airport. Smoothies and wraps are consistently worse. Didn’t bother me enough to leave a review until they decided to start asking for tips IN THE DRIVE THRU. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants a card reader jammed in their face in a drive thru. Just take my card and swipe it like every other drive thru. Having to leave a tip before the food is made is extortion tactics
Edit 1: The death of the triple berry oat smoothie is sad. Edit 2: Don’t come at night, the service sucks and only 1 employee was taking and making all the orders. The other employee was too busy making out with her boyfriend. Edit 3: Now only 3 flavors of chips are offered. Baked lays, cheddar SunChips, and Salt & Vinegar. Also a wrap and smoothie costing $15 is absurd.

As a local resident, I’m so glad to have Tropical Smoothie Cafe in the area! There aren’t many options for smoothies or healthy snacks nearby, so this place has been a refreshing and much-needed addition. Every time we visit, the service is quick, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating.
My go-to order is the Blimey Limey smoothie paired with a bag of chips—such a perfect combo! The smoothies are consistently delicious and made with fresh ingredients, making it a treat I feel good about enjoying. The inside of the cafe is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming, which makes it a nice spot to stop in when we’re not grabbing our order to-go.
The only downside I’ve noticed is the lack of size options for their smoothies. It would be great to have the flexibility to choose a smaller or medium size, depending on my appetite or mood. Having just one size feels a bit limiting, especially for those who may want a lighter snack or are trying the cafe for the first time.
That said, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is still a fantastic spot that we’ll continue to visit often. It’s a wonderful addition to the community, and I appreciate having such a convenient and healthy option close to home!

The location on old vail is the worst, all these girls do is talk to each other rather than making the food when you order, my average wait time is always 10-15 minutes even when no one is in the restaurant because they would rather socialize than work, I am done coming here I’ll just go elsewhere

Got my order wrong twice. Ignored me as I tried to fix their mistake.
Placed order through door dash, store did not have what I ordered, sent me something else, when we got our food there was a 3in long hair in both of our flatbread, mixed in with the cheese and Chipotle sause.......... BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! Note to staff WEAR HAIR NETS, it is nasty, stop being lazy

My food was absolutely delicious. I ordered an Acai bowl and southwest wrap. The only thing that needed improvement was the wait time. I waited more than 20 minutes for my food.

The wait time was 8 minutes to get order. There was only one car ahead of us. They were already sitting at the window. She got 2 smoothies. And she waited, and waited. Girl there, said only 5 minutes. But only received the smoothie. Then still has to wait a other 3 minutes more for the quesadilla.I timed it because we had just enough time. Were late, thankfully we were not penalized.
More expensive than Salad & Go AND not as good.
Staff is always very nice and the food is great!
