Go for the spenda, save some calories While I don't mind spending time waiting for a fresh squeezed beverage, the time to wait for it was unreal. We were there in the ostentatious room full of overpriced B12 and Vitamin C our two drinks took over 20 minutes to make. Walking out of there, wasting 20 minutes of my day for some crushed berries was not worth it. I will not be back to this location. The local owner needs to see how the staff treats it's patrons. Do not go.

This is a really great lunch option. I used to be a huge smoothie fan, but don't really partake very much anymore. When I do - I will go to TS. I go to this location frequently for the Buffalo Chicken Wrap for lunch. It is a light and delicious option with the perfect amount of spice. They also have a sandwich and smoothie lunch combo deal and they offer employees of my company a discount. I will definitely continue to visit Tropical Smoothie for a quick, nutritious, and delicious lunch!

Let me first say that I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe. But don't sh** on me and tell me its a tan!!I recently ordered their new Mojo Fish Tacos, this order comes with (2) tacos. When I got my order. There was only 1 Taco. I cannot understand what happened. I go over and speak to the clerk and she tells me that they put 2 tacos in one. I opened the taco and there was only 1 serving of fish. I was mad. I will not be going back there. Good food and being disingenuous do not go together!!

A great place to stop for a quick bite or get something to go. Their smoothies can be beat and the Sunrise/Sunset is my staple. The food I have had on my trips here has been hit or miss, but I guess that just depends on individual tastes and if you like the varied combinations they put into their wraps. I do love that they give employees of my company a discount. That always makes it all the worthwhile.

This is my spot right after I leave the gym. The staff is super friendly and the service is great!! The best that I can recommend is the Island Green smoothie w/Splenda add whey protein.

Katelyn B.
Every time I go here the service is friendly and fast. The smoothies are very good no matter which flavor you get. I love the strawberry lemonade one. The food is good too. Its a little expensive but what smoothie place isn't. My only complaint is my friend used a frequent smoothie punch card but I wasn't even offered one. When I asked, they looked annoyed. I will most definately return!

I COMPLETELY disagree with YerMah L. I frequent this place- seriously. 2? 3? times a week for lunch with HALF OF MY OFFICE. We all adore this place. The options, the diverse menu (including breakfast) and delicious smoothies are beyond words. I'm a vegetarian so sometimes it's a little hard for me to go out, but honestly, this place is fab. Also! They have a punch card for discounts. If you go try the combo: a half sandwich or salad and full size smoothie for $6 or something. Great deals. Great food. Great smoothies. Great overall experience. I definitely recommend it.

I work right around the corner, so I come here at least once/week. They offer PGR employees a discount...thank you!! They are always friendly, prompt, and fairly priced for the quality of food you're getting. I've sampled a lot of things from their menus...sandwiches, wraps, smoothies...they're all great. My favorite smoothie is the Island Green...YUM!

Tropical Smoothie is a great option for catering lunch and smoothies for your office. I order smoothies regularly for big meetings and they always have them packed in ice to make sure they don't melt on my drive back (my employees love this healthy option). The buffalo chicken wrap is the bomb and has a nice spicy kick.

This is my second time here and the smoothie menu is so expansive that you're sure to find something you'll enjoy. I love that they give you the option to add supplements like weight management, whey or soy protein, vitamin c, and numerous others. Service was pretty efficient for having a good amount of people in the cafe, which is always a plus. I recommend the blue lagoon and paradise point smoothies, SO good!

The food here isn't terrible for what it is. If I wanted a quick smoothie this might be the place to come...if they could do anything in a remotely timely fashion. I live nearby and have often stopped by for lunch over the years but I always remember why my visits are infrequent every time I go in. They take forever. Even if you're the only one there, it takes almost 10 minutes for them to make a smoothie. The other day I waited nearly 20 minutes for a sandwich that I'm pretty sure was sitting on their window for half of that time. I'm done with this place.

AMAZING SMOOTHIES!! Lots of different flavors to choose from. My personal favorite is the strawberry limeade smoothie! The food however, not so great. This is not the place to get lunch or dinner. They offer sandwiches and wraps but the quality is very poor.

Prices are very good with a wide variety of fruit smoothie options. Service is really quick especially given the fact that each order is personally mixed. I would recommend the Kiwi Quencher personally. Throw in almonds and flax seed as a health additive without changing the taste of any drink. Staff is really friendly and the facility is very clean.

The first time I experienced a Tropical Smoothie sandwich was at an event where they were the catered fare. I don't know what the wrap was called, but it intrigued my tastebuds and I knew I wanted to try it again. Upon venturing out to the Brandon/Causeway location, I had checked around by my house to see if there was another location close by. Unfortunately, there was not. So I decided I would have to wait until I was in the Brandon area to give them a try. Thankfully, the experience was well worth the drive. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Club Flatbread and a Green Tea Citrus Smoothie with Basil. Both were absolutely outstanding. The flatbread had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The tomatoes tasted fresh and the bread was soft and fresh. The smoothie was a spectacular surprise. It had just the right amount of citrus blended with the other ingredients to make it refreshing without tasting sour. I will definitely be making another trip to this location soon to taste out a few other recipes. I would give the location 5 stars if the restrooms had been a little more tidy. The women's bathroom was "Out of Order" so I had to use the men's facility. There was quite a few unsightly things present in the men's room that could improve my overall rating, such as the soap stained walls and no paper towels available in the dispenser.

I love their smoothies! You can't go wrong when it comes to what you order. I almost always order a chocolate banana one. It's not on the menu but they are nice enough to make it for me! My only complaint is the last two times they have been slacking BIG time. Once they have me the peanut butter cup (not my chocolate banana) and I didn't realize it till I had gotten in the car and drove away. It was ok but Im not a fan of peanut butter in my smoothies. The last time they made a peanut butter banana no chocolate. I luckily caught it this time before I left and they made me my chocolate banana promptly. Despite the last 2 smoothie errors I will be back because they do such a good job when they are right :)

I use this place for last minute catering and I always get compliments on the quality of the food that they prepare. Brandon is the manager at this location and can almost always throw together a sandwich tray for a catering event at the last minute. Another bonus to this location is that they open early - 7:00 am if I remember correctly. I order a breakfast sandwich tray for pickup sometimes in the morning and I'm the hero at the office. The only draw back is no coffee.

This place got some great employees lately and it looks much cleaner now! I got a bit weird with the sandwich I wanted and requested a few things be taken off and the bread switched from ciabatta to 7 grain wheat. Do you want that toasted? Awwww yisssss, I do. So they toast the whole sandwich, but wait to put the spinach on until it has been toasted. Perfect! The gentleman who took the order was warm, friendly, and repeated the exact order as he handed over the sandwich and delicious smoothie.

I was introduced to this place a few months ago and whenever I am in the area I love to stop by for a smoothie and a wrap. I find the prices to be very reasonable and there are so many selections. Smoothies and sandwhiches are made fresh to order

Wow YerMah, you're the reason that people working in the food industry hate their jobs! This place is the bomb-diggity, you can even call in your order before you get there if you know what you want, which is an awesome perk. The smoothies taste great and you can choose to go with natural sugar or splenda, which cuts calories and carbs (good option for fitness buffs, it doesn't effect the taste) The sandwiches taste great, and the Earlybird wrap from the breakfast menu is AMAZING. Highly recommend! I would give this place 4 stars because it does get a little crowded and it's a little pricey, but the one star review from YerMah was completely uncalled for... Give this place a try if you're looking for a filling nutritious meal!

Always fresh and tasty. Buffalo Chicken wrap and a Get Up And Goji smoothie rock!

Tropical Smoothie was probably the restaurant that made me realize healthy food exists...in restaurants....and at all. Everything changed. But it all began here, in this clean, narrow hallway that ends in a kitchen that sends out freshly-made wraps, salads, and [have I mentioned] smoothies. You can probably go wild even if you have food allergies, just make sure your smoothie doesn't have yogurt or milk, etc, and get a salad instead of a glutinous wrap, etc. Everything is always so delicious, though, and they are way more creative and tasty than the All-Hated Planet Smoothie (they even sound like bad guys, am I right?).

I've gone to this place since they first opened. I'venbever had issues with my orders. The owner and staff are very friendly and nice, and food is out and delicious in no time. Clean, vibrant place. Highly recommended for smoothies or wraps/sandwiches.

Good concept----the execution however was like trying to rollerskate on your bed--pillows and comforter included. I wanted something light in between my meetings, figured a salad and a smoothie would take no longer than an hour. I say an hour because I'm an incredibly slow eater and I wanted to read the paper. Well... here we go. The way it's set up... you walk up to the counter that is manned by 15 year olds on their summer break who hate the world. The actual little cafe looks cute enough. You place an order (over priced order) they give you a metal stick with a number to take back to your table... and then you wait. 1. I ordered: a chopped salad, no meat or onions with a raspberry vinaigrette. I received: A cobb salad with ham, turkey and ranch dressing. 2. I ordered: a soy, banana and peanut butter protein smoothie. I received something with the semblance of what i ordered. It tasted like a milk and peanut butter liquid. Not only was the food not what I ordered, it took 30 minutes for the 13 year old anxiety ridden boy to find me and bring it to me. I would have flagged him it down while he was running circles, but I couldn't recognize the salad, as it was topped with carnage. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was the wrong salad. I thought for sure he would start crying. The best part was that this mess cost me 14 dollars. So... needless to say, I tossed my food, read some of my paper, drove to the gas station on the way back to my meeting and slammed a v8 and had two cigarettes to hold me over. Oh Tropical Smoothie Cafe, how you let me down.
