1553 US Hwy 70 store closed 30 mins before closing hours they even locked the door and stated that their manager told them to lock the door. If that is the case then the management should be reprimanded

Terrible service they take their own sweet time and even though you have ordered before others, they do not get your order out to you. They clearly do not know how to make the smoothies and have not memorized the menu because they always have to blend them like two extra times and add things to the smoothies. Will never go back.

Review of Service at Tropical Smoothie Café – Sunday (3:34–4:00 PM)

I’m writing to share a disappointing experience I had at your location this past Sunday between 3:34 and 4:00 PM. I frequently visit this Tropical Smoothie Café and have always appreciated the service—until now.

I called to place a pickup order and spoke with a staff member named Michelle. I was surprised by the sarcastic tone she used when informing me that pickup orders were not allowed at that time. I politely accepted the policy and attempted to end the call, but Michelle continued speaking in a condescending manner, making it difficult to hang up. Despite me saying “it’s okay” multiple times to try to defuse the situation, she persisted in being rude and ultimately hung up on me.

I was only five minutes away and decided to come to the location in person. When I arrived, I calmly explained that her phone behavior was unacceptable and unprofessional. Rather than apologizing or acknowledging the issue, she appeared stunned and showed no effort to correct her attitude.

What made the situation even more disappointing is that the other staff members—young teenagers—were all polite and respectful. The only issue was with the shift manager, which makes it all the more concerning. This isn’t about getting someone fired; rather, it’s about highlighting a missed opportunity in leadership. As a shift manager, Michelle sets the tone for the entire team, and unfortunately, her customer service fell far below expectations.

Customer service is the cornerstone of any successful business. It costs nothing to treat people with respect, but the cost of poor service can be significant—like losing a regular customer. Sadly, after this experience, I will no longer be visiting this location.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously and used as a chance to reinforce the importance of respectful, courteous service—especially from those in leadership roles.

Great smoothies,
over priced for very bland food.

As you can see in the photos the chicken pesto flat bread was smeared with too much garlic oil which made it less desirable to finish.

Not enough chicken and tomato’s,
each bit tasted like flatbread..
$7.69 before TAX.. for this!

(Only order smoothies from this location)

P.S.
after the pre-option for tipping it read out
“BAD TIP”.
I have never had a machine ridicule how I tip before…

Was nice, seems like they had some change in management about a couple months ago, which is nice, the old management seemed painful to be around even as a customer.

I randomly chose to eat here today so I had no idea what I wanted. I did notice the menu changed from the last time I was here. The server Tyrese M helped me choose a delicious wrap that paired so well with my smoothie choice. He was friendly and patient! I will be coming back soon !

Tyrese made our dining experience fantastic! From the moment we walked in, he greeted us with a warm smile and welcoming attitude. He was super friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu, answering any questions we had. He even recommended a dish that turned out to be delicious! His attentive and personable service really made our visit memorable. Thank you, Tyrese!
