    Ahh..Greek out bowl
    Amanda A.

    My husband and I tried it for the first time today at lunch. The staff were very nice and accommodating. Ordering was easy, the restaurant was clean but a little loud, metal chairs scraping the floor, but that's is definitely not a restaurant issue just a personal issue. The veggies in the bowls were very fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Since getting back on the health train, I've been wanting to try this place. Finally stopped by for lunch the other day & wish I went earlier! Walking in to an open atmosphere & seeing all the ingredients was neat. Everything was so fresh, workers were welcoming & answered all my questions. I love that they post the nutritional value & have options for everyone. I'll definitely be going more often!

    Golden Hour Curry
    Risha S.

    The concept is exactly the same to a sweet green, a salad chain from the East Coast. I love that they brought this back to West Des Moines! Service is quick and convenient and functions similar to a chipotle order line. Overall the atmosphere is fresh and vibrant and the staff is really enthusiastic. The place has great healthy options packed with protein. I got the Golden Hour Curry bowl, which is my new favorite! It has chicken, black rice, spinach, and various roasted veggies. I swapped the golden raisins for jalapeños to add some heat. Highly recommend and if you love it, join their rewards program through their app.

    LTO HONEY SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE salad
    Sumita B.

    I was looking for a place for a healthier fast food option and came across this place. As we walked in, we were greeted. This was our first time here, so we were trying to figure the menu out. We told the person at front that we have never been before and asked for recommendations. The person recommended the popular items but never mentioned you could create your own. There are several standard salads and bowls to choose from. Otherwise, you can make your own creation as well. Standard base, add-ins, and protein are included in a certain price. Overall, there are lots of healthy options to choose from. I would definitely come back again to try something different. There are plenty of seating area and water/ice station. Two salads and a smoothie came out to about $36 for lunch.

    Wild Child
    Andrew P.

    Consistently high quality fast casual salad chain. This location had hustle and bustle during the lunch rush, but the staff had it all under control :) The salads always taste fresh and tasty. Seating did get a bit tight inside, so would recommend taking to go unless you're coming on off hours. I ordered the Wild Child, a seasonal warm grain bowl. The spicy arugula was balanced by the dressing. The chicken was cooked right and seamlessly blended in as the protein option. The wild rice was nutty and relatively soft for what it is. Would order again.

    a salad in a white bowl

    We stopped here for lunch. It's a short drive off Hwy 80 so a nice stop when you are traveling. It was quite busy and the line to order never really went down. I chose a build your own salad and basically built a Greek salad. Wish they would have that option on the menu. By the time I added some Kalamata olives and feta cheese the salad was $16. I like the salads and the ingredients are fresh but I find this place to be very expensive for what you get. I think build-your-own should be able to choose from any ingredients for your 4 options, not have to pay an up charge of $1.25 for a tiny scoop of Kalamata olives. And cheese should just be a standard ingredient not another up charge. Would have liked to see staff wiping off tables as well.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch salad
    Lee D.

    We finally had a chance to try this place out and are so glad we did! It can be a bit overwhelming at first - should we try one of their signature salads or grain bowls or a build your own? In the end, I decided on the Fiesta Bowl with some customization: instead of chicken, I added roasted cauliflower (I'm a vegetarian) and I added pickled onions and left off the queso fresco. It was very filling and had a bit of a bite due to the jalapeños and the jalapeño lime vinaigrette. Very yummy! Hubby had the chicken bacon ranch salad and instead of pickled onions, he added craisins. He enjoyed it very much. I love how the bowls/salads can be customized. Staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was light and bright - just don't scrape your chair on the floor as it makes a screeching noise! We'll definitely be back especially after pool time in the summer!

    Teriyaki bowl
    Kelli R.

    Fresh and delicious! Think Subway but better ingredients and all salads. The variety makes it hard to make your first choice. We were planning our next visit while we were eating our first salads. Yum! Awesome selection of smoothies and aqua fresco. The pineapple ginger was fantastic. We tried the teriyaki and the Greek options. Both very good. Welcome to town!!

    Stephanie P.

    This place is wonderful! The food is fresh and the staff are so helpful and friendly. It is bright and cheerful and you would never know it was a converted convenience store.we had a Greek grain bowl and a Thai salad both were huge with flavor and size. I really can't wait to return to get an açaí bowl and try some of the other offerings. So happy they came to market. We were missing this.

    Fiesta Bowl with quinoa
    Brady W.

    The Fiesta Bowl and Big island was recommended by the staff, All I have to say is I'm full and it was delicious. Experience was 10/10 I will be back! So much better than fast food

    The bold and buffalo
    Gary S.

    First time trying this place, and the flavor of the salads is wonderful. I had the bold and the buffalo my date had the fiesta bowl. Both salads are amazing, the staff are extremely efficient and friendly. The restaurant is very clean although I will add that the design makes it very loud inside.

    AHH... GREEK OUT
    Sabas H.

    Great recommendations from staff regarding my first time visit. I got the AHH...GREEK OUT and the pomegranate lemon drink.

There are several premade bowls you can choose from or you have the option to make your own. I decided to make my own and loved it! For my bases I had coco love, açaí, and the pitaya. The coco love was delicious which surprised me since I am not a coconut fan, but it went so well when you got a bite of everything. The pitaya base was also incredible. The taste is very tropical and fruity. It paired very well with the coco love. My last base was the açaí which was good, but not the best I've had. Next time I would probably try another base. I did also receive a sample of the Blue Majic which I was told was the least popular base. Aesthetically I love that it's blue, but it tastes like nothing. I would not recommend getting it. They have a lengthy list of additional fruits and toppings you can choose from to add to the top of the bowl. I truly don't think you can go wrong! Everything I added was fresh and tasted delish. Go with your taste preferences here! The service was also wonderful. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu, but the gentleman working was so kind and happy to give me samples and answered any questions I had. I will definitely be back as I am already planning my next order!

The second bowl was filled by I'm assuming a new worker (who didn't even put gloves on?! gross) and she put significantly less of everything in while watching the other worker fill the other bowl appropriately and it's just a bit frustrating since there's such a discernible difference in amounts. I asked if it was done when she put the lid on and tried to hand it to me and she just blank stared at me and said "Yeah." Would not waste almost $15 on a bowl here!!!

Big Acai bowls charges extra for all the toppings and I thought they were either less flavorful or just not sweet enough (or both). The coconut was like little tiny flakes instead of shavings and the peanut butter was just globbed on in one big spoonful instead of drizzled. Frutta Bowls has just the right sweetness, has a good variety of toppings that are included with the price, and the texture/consistency and presentation of the bowls is the best. I agree that the bowls are on the small side but they fill them to the brim. I wish the peanut butter topping was warmed up like some of the acai places do.

    First time ordering from Tropical Smoothie Cafe…read more.. I decided to go with a Caribbean Jerk Chicken Wrap, a bag of Miss Vickie's Sea Salt & Vinegar Chips, and a Sunrise Sunset Smoothie. Service and the ease of ordering was great! The prices aren't bad at all. However... When I went to set the smoothie down on my desk...I must have gripped it too tight...and my thumb went right through the cup towards the bottom. As my smoothie started to empty out the hole made by my thumb I frantically laid it on it's side praying the lid wouldn't pop off while I tried to retrieve a couple of cups from the break room. Carefully I drained it from the bottom into each cup. While normally I would take full responsibility for this... The cups for that heavy of a drink could stand be a little more sturdy. I'll be more careful in the future... Lol The Sunrise Sunset smoothie itself tasted very good. A mix of strawberries, pineapple, mango & orange juice. The Caribbean Jerk Chicken wrap tasted fantastic too. Grilled chicken, rice, black beans, cheddar, roasted pineapple salsa, romaine and jerk sauce in a gluten free wrap. It has some heat too! Not enough to be overwhelming, but enough that it lets you know that it's there. The accident with the cup aside... A very good first experience!

I highly recommend NOT getting the new Cali Breakfast Flatbread. I would give this zero stars if I could.
