    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a cafe that was born on the beach in Florida. We can now experience beach…read morevibes in Mayfield Heights - fruit smoothies, acai bowls, salads, and other healthy bites. The cafe feels like a vacay - fruit and beach decor, funky lighting, faux wood walls, and vibrant furniture. The only things that are missing are the surfer boards, palms, and the beach! This is my second visit to this cafe chain. My first experience was in Boardman, Ohio a few months back. I like the Boardman location more due to more energetic staff, but my experience at this cafe also was pretty positive. Food/Drinks: I ordered a Beach Bum Smoothie ($7.19) with strawberries, banana, and chocolate. To my delight, I learned that you can customize this smoothie with dark or white chocolate. I asked the cafe employee about the most popular choice, and he recommended white chocolate. So I selected white chocolate! If we're being honest, the smoothie is more like a slushie in consistency. When I think of a smoothie, more milky consistency comes to mind, which is not the case at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. It's just a different take on a smoothie! This particular smoothie had a distinct taste of strawberries and banana, which overpowered the chocolate. I couldn't taste chocolate hints at all Drink size is a great value for the price! Not my favorite smoothie due to the consistency but good to try on a hot day. I'd be curious to taste the difference in dark chocolate smoothies. Menu Choices: This cafe is conveniently open 7 AM - 9 PM meaning that you can grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a snack. The menu includes fun seasonal choices like Watermelon Mojito Smoothie, wraps and sandwiches like Hummus Veggie, flatbreads like Chicken Pesto, salads like Thai Chicken, bowls like Acai Bowl, and many smoothies. You can customize your choices, which is especially convenient to do online. Most add-one cost extra but it's fun to create. For instance, you can customize your smoothie sweetness, add extras or supplements. I found that all servings are pretty generous - flatbreads, salads, and smoothies. There are so many choices on the menu, you'll never get bored! Cafe: Every location I visited is very similar - identical decor, seating arrangements, and furniture. If you decide to hang out at the cafe, there are multiple tables, high tops, and a small bar top. Chairs are metal, not very comfy for prolonged sitting, but good enough to finish a smoothie. Order Options: You can order online, on the app, or in store. If ordering via app or online, conveniently pick up your order at the labeled shelf in store. I ordered in the store (to go), and my order was up in no time! There were very few customers in the store ordering to go. Service: Service at this cafe is quick and efficient. Employees offer recommendations. The employees weren't super enthusiastic but I also stopped in at the end of the day. Location: The cafe is conveniently located off Mayfield Road in one of the plazas. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. It's very easy to get in and out of this parking lot, back on Mayfield. Rewards: Check into their rewards program if you're looking for great deals! QR codes to join are available throughout the cafe - at checkout and even on your smoothie cup! I'd visit this cafe again for a healthy lunch. I'd love to try the Watermelon Mojito Smoothie and perhaps pair it with a bowl.

    Great spot located in Playhouse Square! Options for a smoothie, bowl, or oatmeal with toppings…read more The overnight oats are made with water, so they are dairy free! I ordered a regular size with banana, strawberries, and blueberries. They do not skimp on the toppings! The upstairs seating was great to get some work done and the staff was super friendly and helpful!

    I am in my acai bowl phase of my life at the moment. But it is an expensive treat and I rarely seek…read moreit out. But I have heard good things of the new-ish Fruit Stand, located right by Cleveland's Playhouse Square, so I resigned to paying $13 bucks for a bowl of fruit and granola, and tried it out for lunch before a show in May 2026. This place was HOPPING at 12pm on Sunday in May 2026. And the music they had on were all early-2000s BOPS! It is also very instagram-friendly inside. If I had more time, I would have gotten better pictures. The young girl behind the counter was very sweet and helped me create the best bowl for my mood that day. I ordered the medium acai bowl ($12) although I was worried if I was going to be able to finish it in time for the Broadway show I was going to next door. (Spoiler alert - I definitely finished it!). I got the mixed soft serve base of strawberry acai and peach soft serve. It had melted by the time I got to it as it was on the bottom. #life of a slow eater Then I got to choose 3 fruits. I chose banana slices, strawberries, and pineapple. As for the crunchy toppings, I got half and half of birthday cake granola (yes) and oreos (yes yes)! Then had honey as my drizzle. They were VERY generous with the honey! My creation looked gorgeous! I went and ate it quickly in their upstairs seating space and dealt with a little bit of a sugar crash later in the day! I wish they had some healthier crunchy and drizzle topping options! And my strawberry slices were still a bit frozen. But overall, I loved my lunch from The Fruit Salad. I wish I had had more time to enjoy it since I had to eat it really fast. Next time!!
