I like this place, but the only person that’s nice in there is Brett. Every time I walk in and he’s not there, everyone else is rude. I literally witnessed someone greet a customer that walked in after me. When I walked in, I was not greeted. This was not the first time it has happened either. Brett is the only one that says “hello” when I go there. Starting to wonder why.

Love the Chia Banana Boost - had one today and it was perfect!

Really enjoy my all natural sunrise and sunset fruit smoothie. Always quickly prepared with friendly customer service!

I did order the Turkey Bacon sandwich no ranch sauce because I don’t like it they did put it there live in Ankeny. Thank you for giving me this bad experience

Only able to order drive thru through the app an advance .. I know each business is different, but I’d spend more money here if I could call in a smoothie on a drive over. The convenience was no longer convenient. .I’ve been going to tropical smoothie chains for years, my smoothie didn’t taste right. this was worst location

Food is really good but the last several times I’ve been they’ve screwed up my order. Even when it’s not busy, it never comes out right. Also no difference when I order online (meaning my order goes through 100% correct and there’s no chance of it being messed up while ordering). I think it’s just a lack of attention to detail/not caring enough to do it right. As someone who literally works in the restaurant industry, I can’t imagine not paying enough attention when the order is right in front of you. What if it was because of an allergy and not preference? Really annoying.

Looks like a new store when I was there. No lines. More staff than customers makes for fast service. Nice smoothie.

First time ever going to Tropical Smoothie and wow, what an experience as soon as I walked in.

The staff were super friendly and helped me choose a delicious treat. I believe her name was Mady (I could be mistaken), but she was over the top nice and excited to help me choose my next meal. I ended up going with what she recommended, which was Bahama Mama, and I was not disappointed! Will def be my go to smoothie now every time and I plan on being a regular!

Thank you to Mady and the staff! You have a new loyal customer for life!
