Enter the door and you are whisked away to the beaches of the tropics. Smoothies on the beach, good food. I was never going to leave, but they closed and kicked me out. But seriously, the smoothies were good and so was the food.

I just moved to Huntley and I was so excited to see there’s a TSC next to me because I go a few times a week. I will be going to Lake In the Hills due to the horrible ownership and management at this location . I had 1500 points to use for a free smoothie. I showed the employee that it wasn’t working from my app. Asked if I can scan the code in store. He scanned and said it didn’t work… I said ok? So what are you going to do? He said there’s nothing I can do. It’s the smoothie you’re ordering. So I tried another smoothie and changed the ingredients. Didn’t work again. Now it says I’ve used the points already and I need to wait to redeem more (I hadn’t used any, all of this is app misfiring). At this point I’m getting a little frustrated because I’d think a manager could just come and manually adjust the register? I asked to speak to a manager to see if he’d be willing to help their app error, the kid told me no.
I looked at him confused, said ok, and walked out. I will be making the drive to lake in the hills to avoid such trash customer service. I can’t imagine running a business and being so cheap that you don’t even correct your own wrongs over a small $7 smoothie. I wrote to corporate and I’m assuming they’ll have to makeup for this individual owners lack of business skills.

I arrived at the location 10 minutes before closing. They stated they were closed. Open sign was still flashing. No worries; I’ll go to Smoothie King. I arrived at Smoothie King at 8:57 and was serviced. I made sure to tip as they were closing.

I usually enjoy ordering the Açaí Bowl from Tropical Smoothie Café, especially when I visit the Vernon Hills location. It’s always served properly — with Greek yogurt and fresh ingredients, never frozen. However, my experience at the Huntley location has been disappointing.
Yesterday, I ordered the same Açaí Bowl through DoorDash and received it completely frozen. Thinking it was a delivery issue, I gave it another try and visited the store in person today (June 12 at 7:15 a.m.), hoping for a better experience.
Unfortunately, I received the same frozen bowl again. I politely told the staff member that it was frozen and not edible that way. Instead of offering a solution, he rudely insisted that “it’s supposed to be like that.” When I asked how I was expected to eat something completely frozen, he responded in an unpleasant tone and showed no willingness to help.
After I requested a refund, he continued insisting that this was the correct way to serve it. I’ve never had this issue at other locations, and I was surprised by how defensive and disrespectful he became. I had to agree with him just to end the uncomfortable exchange.
This kind of customer service is unacceptable. It’s frustrating to be treated poorly for calmly voicing a valid concern. I won’t be ordering the Açaí Bowl from this location again — and I hope management takes this feedback seriously.

Love coming here. Everyone is always so nice. The store is clean and the food is fresh!
Always fantastic! Never disappointed
The smoothies are delicious! So many options and flavors to choose from. As a mom, I appreciated that they took part in the local Boo Thru and passed out coupons for free kid smoothies for my two littles. It’s a fun place for a treat to us, and I watched many people come by for their full meal.
Kid-friendliness: Greatly appreciated the free kids smoothie coupons we got at the local Boo Thru this year.
