Quick stop on our way back to Pitt. Plenty of parking on the street. Super cute space. Loved the bone broth latte (maple cinnamon special). We got a vegan donut from a local bakery that was very good. Not super soft but loved the flavor. Would gladly return on our next trip. read more

Cute little coffee shop! They sell coffee, smoothies and lots of other goodies. I was eyeing their date-sweetened chocolate bars and unique protein bars. I ordered an iced centred latte with cashew milk. She described it tasting like French toast. I don't remember all the ingredients but it has ghee, vanilla syrup and cinnamon. I was between that and the iced almond torte latte but I was worried that would be too sweet, she said that's most popular but also the sweetest on the menu. The description of the centred latte tasting like French toast is pretty spot on! It has a really unique flavor, almost bready, lots of cinnamon which I love. Not too sweet at all. My boyfriend got the chocolate tahini protein shake (they have whey and pea protein) with cold brew added. I really loved the smoothie as well, super delicious! The coffee shop has some areas for lounging. It's a laptop-free shop which I think is a great concept. They have some board games and it feels like a great spot to come and read or to meet up with someone. Really friendly and homey coffee shop! Will definitely be back. They also offer a small discount for UPMC staff. read more

Such a cute and unique coffee shop in Shadyside area! The coffee shop is focused on wellness which I love. They have a lot of ways to upgrade your drinks for health benefits, like adding collagen. A lot of their drinks are also wellness focused such as bone broth lattes, or using pure whole ingredients like manuka honey! They also don't allow laptops which I think is a think is a nice little addition to focus on yourself or connecting with others. I had the iced almond torte latte at half sweetness and i absolutely loved it! My friend had the hot chai with a collagen boost, and it was also delicious! I can't wait to come back and bring a book! read more

Finally got a chance to stop in for a creative non-coffee drink (I got the hot chocolate) and an afternoon snack (sesame cookie). Didn't stay because I had an hour to kill, and they have a no-laptops policy. For your mental health and social well-being, however, you can bring something to read, a journal for writing or drawing, or a friend for conversation. read more

Very cool place. Nice atmosphere, my coworker from the Hillman and I like to get coffee here and chat. It is quiet but admits similarly quiet socializing comfortably. Quite relaxing. Vastly superior to the terrible UPMC Shadyside / Hillman cafes. Drinks are super interesting and delicious; their Mexican Hot Chocolate is the best I've ever had by a long way. Their espresso is also very good, I'm quite pleased with the Americanos I get here. For a quick coffee in Friendship or Shadyside, they're great. read more

I'm a stickler for good coffee and knowledgeable + skilled baristas. Here, you get both, always. Consistency is a guarantee. Cappuccinos are third-wave American style and done perfectly. The espresso pull/grind is attentively maintained. Take note! Laptops are not allowed here, so it's not a place to come work, but this does not detract from its 5-star status. In fact this feature lends the place a calm ambiance and escape from the bustle of modern life. read more

The food was ok but the actual place was super cute and I would love to come here to study (would be nice if they allowed laptops). The croissant was a bit burnt heavy and could use some more chocolate and the smoothie was super milky and thin (I prefer minimal milk and a really thick smoothie).

And they have tons and snacks, that I've never seen before. It's my go to coffee spot now. So happy to have options, although it does take some time when they get busy. It's a smaller space.

The coffee here is OK. They use West Coast sizes meaning that espresso drinks have too much milk. My cappuccino didn't have sufficient foam. The coffee itself tasted better than average.

This place is truly amazing. They have organic coffee, sourdough baked goods, raw cheese, local maple syrup/honey and so much more. No refined sugars or oils!!!!! Finally a place that doesn't believe in the narrative that seed oils are healthy!!!! They bake with real butter and it's amazing. You have to check this place out. It's so cute in there and their coffees/lattes and baked goods are soooo good. Been looking for a place like this for a while now and so happy I found it. Honestly the ONLY thing that could make this place any better is if they sold/used raw milk (but I know there are a ton of regulations so this would be hard to do). read more

I did notice they didn't finish their smoothies. They were all abandoned in the car while we ran errands. They seem to be filling.

Came to Tropical Smoothie Cafe and did a take out order back to my parents house. The drinks are…read moreexpensive, but always pretty good. To be honest I do not think I would get food again. I got a chicken quesadilla and it was ok, but kind of soggy. The people working were all pretty nice.

His kindness and light spirit were evident, and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in choosing the smoothie that was right for me. My brief interaction with him and his kindness made my day completely. I ordered the White Gummi with soy milk, and it was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this location, the food, and the customer service to anyone.

Delicious desserts, especially for anyone who loves mango or really fresh, not too sweet ones!…read more Service was really quick, with a nice seating area and WiFi to do work or chat. They also have a lot of drink and food options, all of which are good. The Mango and Pomelo combo is def a favorite, and their ice cream had good flavor too. Only thing is that the portion sizes can be a little small considering it's $10+ for most of the options, but definitely great for a refreshing treat once in awhile!

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the only place I buy smoothies…read more I love the options, the consistency and the control over sweetness. OPTIONS There are so many smoothies to choose from, to start: all fruit, yogurt-based, seasonal and featured drinks. But you can also add and remove ingredients to make a totally customized smoothie. CONSISTENCY While it might not be important to everyone, I like that I can go there and get the same smoothie every time I order it. No one is perfect, but overall, they are consistent. SWEETNESS This is probably the most important to me, as I cannot handle a super sweet, syrupy, chemical-tasting smoothie. I have tried my smoothies from here with no added turbinado sugar and then with half. I prefer the half. The smoothies here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. They mostly come in one size, a large amount, which I like. The cups are probably not great for the environment, but they do keep the smoothies cold. (If I could change one thing, it would be that.) This review is based solely on the smoothies. I have never eaten food here.

Tropical smoothie is still as good as it's always been! The prices are definitely higher and I…read moredidn't notice the special they've always run where you can get a smoothie and half a sandwich or wrap for less. But regardless, the food was fresh and the people working there were friendly and made our food quickly! I would definitely go back to this location.
