This Tropical Smoothie has gone downhill as far as food is concerned. Their quesadillas used to be very good, but my latest order was very disappointing. The quesadillas were mushy and tasteless. There was barely any chicken. I had other issues with this location as well. Even though they have a sign that says you can combine a smoothie with a meal for a discount, they refused to help me when I placed an order online. The order did not give me the discount so I asked about it when I got there, and the crew refused to help. They just told me to call an 800 number. The final issue was with their new offer of boba to a smoothie for a pretty steep price of $1.49. Even so, we ordered two of them. Got them home. No boba whatsoever. So there is $3 more wasted in exchange for nothing. So, no help at the store with a pricing issue, no boba even though got charged for it, and the food was sub-par. I did contact corporate and they told me this location refused to issue any refunds, although they (corporate) were willing to give me a $25 gift card for my troubles. So, thank you Tropical Smoothie Corporate, and boo on you Centreville. I will take my business to a different Tropical Smoothie in the area - there are plenty to choose from. Just because you are a franchise doesn't mean you can't extend customer service to your local customers. read more

Love tropical smoothie and this is a great location. Order is always correct, service fast and polite. My favorite smoothie is the island green (so fruity you can't taste the spinach or kale). My favorite flatbread is the pesto or chipotle chicken club. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - CHICKEN PESTO - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

This is a great spot to grab a smoothie or a quick panini. The atmosphere inside is fun and bright, and the staff is friendly. I order the Bahama Mama smoothie which has sweet strawberries, pineapple, coconut milk and hints of white chocolate. I think the chocolate really puts this smoothie over the top as it adds a subtle sweetness that makes it feel like a treat, without being too overpowering. The coconut milk also gives the smoothie a rich, creamy texture that is just heavenly. Overall, if you are looking for a delicious and refreshing smoothie, this place is definitely worth checking out and the Bahama Mama is a must try in my opinion! read more

Smoothie is amazing so fresh and refreshing it is perfect for the summer staff is so friendly and service is quick and not over price

This tropical smoothie is the best! Service is always quick and the staff is very friendly. The smoothies are high quality and they have a variety of selections for healthy individuals or customers looking to indulge in something sweet. I'll be coming back here again.

Note: 5 Stars for the smoothies, food on the other hand I had deprived myself of lunch and really wanted a salad so I thought of checking this place out. It had gotten good reviews on yelp but I didn't notice most were for the smoothies. I was really hungry and thought I would go for the Baja salad since it seemed to have the standard ingredients. There was no line, no wait and since it was 4:20 pm, it was pretty empty. The smoothies came out super fast and ordered my food to go. When I got home, the salad did not look too appealing but I was hoping the flavors would kick in. I realized the cold avocado and some cold salsa were on the side. I mixed it in and the avocado was way to limey and noticed it had a weird taste to it. The salsa just had no flavor and seemed like a tostitos salsa for chips. The lettuce was old(see pic) Cheese was stuck to chicken and the beans were dry. I couldn't eat anymore (I stopped eating and took a pic). It just was not worth whatever I paid for since the cashier never gave me a receipt. I recommend this place for smoothies BUT for food BEWARE and proceed with caution. read more

Went here 5 days in a row for my detox green smoothie and loved it! I was traveling so it's the best for breakfast. The 6th day I was discouraged from ordering though. I called saying I wanted to place an order for pickup and immediately was told "it's 1-1.5 hours wait. Do you still want to order?" It threw me off bc it's a smoothie but they were really busy. Nice of them to let me know upfront:) Detox is less than 200 calories and no added sugars. I love it for weight maintenance. Give it a try! read more

This place is great. Everyone was so kind. Usually at a tropical smoothie my order is messed up but this time they got my order right. The smoothie was crazy good too. read more

This place needs a very strong management! There's no way that employees like Claudia treats guests like garbage! Her attitude is incredible bad! She goes mouth to mouth with guests! Horrible service! We are Centreville's people and we support local businesses, but this one not anymore until we see a major change! read more

This is my favorite tropical smoothie location that I have visited the staff is very kind. The woman who works as the cashier noticed that I was coming in quite often, so she suggested that I download the app so I can start receiving points for my smoothies, which I did. I like to utilize the order ahead option and everytime I do have he woman already knows my order and who I am when I walk in and I am greeted by name every time I come in to pick up my order and I really appreciate It. The store is always very clean. read more

As soon as you walked in you know you are in a happy fun place. Bar seating and limited tables available. Most of the people order their smoothies to go. Sandwiches and panini also available on the menu, Will def try it one of these days. I had the orange glow and it didn't disappoint. Will be back. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Restaurant was half open, not cared for, no sitdown, no bathrooms. Walked in, turned around and walked back out. Covid seems to be a bit more than this franchise is able to manage. read more

Food: Typically, Tropical Smoothie quality and deliciousness Wait Times: The wait times can be substantial- especially, is in the summer months. This is a smaller location, but it is intriguing how customers will wait about 15-20 minutes to get in and out. Recommendation: Use the app and order ahead to avoid this. Otherwise, you will get stuck in the line to order and the line for prep. read more

i had the worst experience at this location in regard to customer service community plaza suite 130 sterling va. One of the cashier directed me to a hispanic cashier just because i looked hispanic. I felt offended because i speak fluent English and she pretended that she did not understand what i was saying when i tried to order my food. The staff needs to be trained better. They should not racially profiled just because of the physical appearance of anyon. They need to do better. read more

I just wanted to let y'all know that this is literally the best tropical smoothie in northern VA hands down. All the others ones are complete and total GARBAGE compared to this one. They always get my order right, they are quick and polite no matter how many people are there, and my smoothie and food is always PERFECT. I mean, I was so spoiled with this location until I moved for a minute and had ones in other cities in NOVA and they are ALL. TRASH. This one is the goat. Hands down the best tropical smoothie in the area. Please keep doin you cuz I appreciate y'all read more

Good place to grab a smoothie. I don't think it's very healthy considering all the sugar however, it's really yummy. I do wish they had a medium size though because the one size is huge and the smaller size is waay too small (which you can only get kids smoothies for the small). I normally get the chicken pesto with lettuce instead of tomatoes or the chicken Caesar wrap. Both are delicious. The employees are also really kind and patient. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Chicken pesto flatbread - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I love Tropical Smoothie! As a transplanted California Girl, I really missed my Jamba Juice and the whole smoothie concept in general. I love adding nutrients to my goodies! I was really excited to see that we were getting a Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Centreville. How convenient! It's sandwiched between Panda Express (yummy Chinese) and Panchero's (yummy burritos). I have been there several times and have tried different items each time. I enjoyed their version of a Cuban sandwich but have not tried any other food products. Mostly I go for the smoothies. My favorite is Rockin' Raspberry, while my son loves the Chocolate Banana, and my husband has been asking for the Mango Peach. Last fall they gave us samples of a Cranberry White Chocolate smoothie which was quite delicious. All of the ones we've tried have been excellent. The reason I give them a four is because they can be a little pricey and I haven't tried anything to eat except the Cuban. They were giving customers a punch card for awhile, and that saved me money because if I bought enough of them I would get one free. Now they have discontinued the punch card but are doing something new. You text a message to their number and they will text you coupons a few times a month. You then bring in your cell phone and show them the text message to get the discount. I dunno...I kind of liked the punch card better. Overall, though, clean restaurant, cheerful atmosphere, and excellent smoothies. It never seems very crowded, however, so I'm crossing my fingers that they will be here for awhile. read more

Tropical Smoothie is the best place to get a smoothie! It doesn't hurt that the sandwiches are pretty good also! The employees are always nice and greets you with a warm smile. They are fast and the service is quick and smooth. Most importantly, they don't grunt or mean mug you when your indecisive and stand there looking at the menu for 3 minutes. I stick to the Mango Magic which has mango, pineapples and non-fat yogurt and the Bahama Mama which has strawberries, pineapple, white chocolate and coconut. Both are fresh and refreshing! For food the chicken pesto flatbread and thai chicken salad is the best. They put alot of chicken in both and it's both very flavorful. If you want a delicious smoothie come to this location, you won't be disappointed! read more

Definitely a great location! Much better than the location in Chantilly, but this is definitely busier and tends to be more congested

Wait times can be substantial at times, talking 15-20 minutes for 1 smoothie. If you order food as well, there's potential to receive your smoothie & food 10 minutes apart from each other. That's definitely annoying. However, it doesn't ever seem to stop me from ordering... there's plenty of smoothie options ranging from indulgent to vitamin rich to protein packed. Just be mindful of the sugars, which is ridiculously high. Even if you substitute with Splenda, which will cut your calories about 50%, but still far exceeds an average adult's daily sugar intake. I personally opt for no added sugar, though not quite as tasty. Additional supplements & add-ins can be added for additional cost such as protein, vitamins, almonds, flax seeds, peanut butter, etc. Food options have been satisfying, though I am thinking their cooking methods only include a microwave & a heat press. So nothing to rave about, but good enough to order when in need. The wraps have stood out to me the most, the buffalo chicken & Jamaican jerk. I haven't tried it yet, but excited about the new kale & apple slaw they offer as a side option in lieu of chips or apple/banana. Plenty of vegetarian (with meatless chicken) & gluten free choices, as well as several kid's options. Perhaps if I started utilizing their call ahead service, I could up their rating another star... I'll have to test it out first! read more

I really have nothing negative to say about this place. Then again I typically get the same thing every single time so I can't speak on the food. Customer service is always pleasant. Sometimes I feel rushed when it's busy; I know that comes with the business. All in all, no complaints. Maybe a small improvement though.. ...the "order here" sign is to the far right which to mean means, go far right to order. It takes maybe one or two people to head to the left side when sad to say majority of people are followers and the line forms under the sign that states "pick up here". Not a big issue at all. Simple stating the obvious I guess. When the line is to the left the "bar/stool" area is irrelevant due to the fact you have people hovering behind you when you are attempting I enjoy your food or smoothie... read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - To the right to the right.. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Well Im not sure how many stars to give this place since we went when they had a event free smoothie for national flip flop day . Apparently a very popular event between 2-7pm . The line was outside the door with a lot of school kids . Just loved the crowd for a change !The giggles and the chatter of the high school-kids . read more

I love getting tropical smoothie especially in the warmer seasons. Stopped by for breakfast and this time I got the sunrise sunset. It was okay, but by favorite is the sunny day. My boyfriend got something with kiwi which was pretty good too. In the past I've tried the wraps and flatbreads, and they seem to be pretty good as well. They only had 2 people working so service was a bit slow. I usually call in ahead to save time! read more

I typically go to smoothie king but I must say I was thoroughly impressed with how delicious the smoothies here are and how fast they are made! Will certainly keep coming to this location ! read more

We stopped in here for a quick bite to eat! Nothing quick about it. My daughter ordered the quesadilla with the fake chicken in it as she doesn't eat poultry, red meat or swine. We waited for a pretty long time. People that ordered after us got their stuff and left. When we went to meet up with my wife and eat she had already finished eating by the time we got there. My daughter opened up the quesadilla to make sure the fake chicken was used and it had real chicken in it. Not sure if they were in a hurry to make this since they were behind or if it was intentional? She has limited places to eat as it is. read more

Wow, I haven't been to a Tropical Smoothie in a long time. They have a small space, and you feel crowded very quickly if there are more than a handful of customers. The couch seats were old and had deep holes where you can see the foam inside. Smoothies themselves were pretty decent. The texture was great, but my Paradise Point Smoothie (strawberries, banana, pineapple) was a bit too sweet. The boyfriend's Sunrise Sunset (strawberries, pineapple, mango, orange juice) felt too OJ-y in the beginning, but it grew on us. It was actually really refreshing, especially paired up with my sweet smoothie. By itself it can be a bit too tart. We did wish they had green tea smoothies.. we saw that it was offered up as a powdered supplement, but that would be weird adding it to a fruity smoothie. read more

Tropical smoothie is one of my go to breakfast and smoothie spots, particularly the one located in Herndon, but this location is great too. Great location, although on the small side, and I have never had an complaints with the service. This is a great place to go for healthy smoothies and food options. From breakfast wraps, green smoothies, sandwiches and more, there is always something for anyone who walks in. They just added tacos as well - I have tried the fish tacos with the cucumber salsa and they are so light and refreshing. Definitely a most try! It is awesome paired with any orange/citrus based smoothie. All their smoothies are 24oz too so you can literally get full just from one of those. I highly suggest Tropical Smoothie if you are a health nut looking for a good drink or bite on the go! Faves: Salsa Sunrise on wheat tortilla & Acai Berry Smoothie read more

I'm giving this smoothie shop a 4 star rating only because I have yet to take real advantage of it during the colder months and because I haven't tried any of their food. I was excited to see that Centreville was getting a smoothie shop. So when they finally opened I stopped in for a well deserved treat. After a mild anxiety attack of reviewing the menu (it was completely dead in there and rightfully so because it's super cold out.) I finally figured out what I "wanted". I ordered a Sunny Day smoothie under pressure and to my surprise it was fantastic! I took a menu with me so I could review it and order like a pro next time YES I KNOW I'M A LOSER. Good to see they offer acai flavors as well. I'm curious to see if they would do an acai only smoothie. I had one in Ocean Ctiy this past summer and it was so freaking good because it wasn't that sweet. I am secretly hoping that their business picks up with word of mouth and with the hotter months. Anyhow the place is super cute and clean (I'd be a little scared if it wasn't, being so new!).. All in all, I'm excited to tear this place up after a long day at the pool next summer because it's so close by. They also have combos where you can get a sandwich and smoothie for $10 I think. Which will be great once my finances get back in order - jeez. AND serve breakfast wraps all day. read more

Green smoothies are my jam. I started off my obsession with Tropical Smoothie Cafe's Island Green, with mango, kale, spinach, pineapple, and banana. I've also had their Rockin' Raspberry and Sunrise Sunset, which I can also vouch for as equally delicious. Forget Smoothie King and Jamba Juice, these are the best smoothies I've had in the area and their sizes are huuuge and well worth the price. I love their option of the Island Green Detox. I don't get the concept of adding extra sugar to an already naturally sweet, healthy smoothie. The Island Green Detox is naturally sweetened and has ginger in it, which I'm a huge fan of. When I can't make my own smoothies at home, this place is my go-to! Can't wait till they open another store at University Mall. read more

My friends have gotten me hip to their smoothies, specifically the Avocolada, but after a long drive from visiting a friend, I decided to order something for myself. I went in and was warmly greeted by one of the employees. I decided on ordering my usual smoothies, plus a Three Cheese Chicken Quesadilla for the trip home. As usual, my smoothie was excellent; the flavors were not overpowering and the texture was great. I saw that they also offered supplements for the smoothies but I saw it too late (next time though!). My quesadilla was delicious, warm, and gooey with the cheeses. It's probably one of the best quesadillas I've had in a long time, and I'll definitely come back for more! read more

Every time I go here.. sigh everything tastes so good. I love the wraps, the smoothies... Basically everything you order is AMAZING. The combos are worth your money. Everybody is really nice as well! The ambiance of the place is fun, and I really like the "do not use your cell phone while ordering" sign. Haha I wish I had that at my workplace :) read more

Tropical Smoothie is a hidden treasure in Centreville. So far everything on the menu has been better than delicious. I do prefer the Muscle Blaster smoothie over the others though just because of the added whey protein. So far my favorite has been the Turkey Bacon Ranch, but the other items on the menu are not far behind. read more

Delicious. For my first visit I loved it! The register girl at the time didn't seem very happy to be there (she was very quiet) but they were very prompt with their service overall. I got the half sandwich and smoothie... Don't expect much for the sandwich- it's quite small but the smoothie was very talk and very good. I will definitely be going back to Tropical Smoothie!! read more

Love this place! Believe it's better than other smoothie places! My favorite is the "get-up-&-goji"!!! not only is their smoothies tasty, but their sandwiches are delicious!!! :D **local favorites!** read more

I absolutely love going here! I've tried pretty much everything on their menu - meals and smoothies. The smoothies are delicious (I love the Island Green and Mango Magic) and the food is great as well (I always get the king chicken Caesar wrap). The employees are nice as well. I took a star off for the space. There is an awkward wall that divides the place in half and it can get very crowded when it's busy. And though the line usually goes down the left side of this awkward divide, some people stand in line to the right and so the line splits weirdly into two when it gets really crowded. Also because it might take a while to get your order. But other than that, I highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered from ubereats the new bbq shrimp quesadilla and it taste ok but very bad portion. Hardly shrimp in there and I was eating a cheese and bread. Of course the smoothies are good which I give 5 stars. Definitely should not sell that item. Very disappointed. read more

Great place to pick up a healthy breakfast instead of mcdonalds. Don't have to wait that long either 5 mins tops. Got the chipotle chicken club and my boyfriend got our usual salsa sunrise wrap. The chipotle chicken definitely has that chipotle flavor that I do love, however the chicken was a tad bit dry. Salsa sunrise wrap is always consistent from the different places I have been to. It's scrambled eggs, salsa, ham all wrapped in tortilla :) Tropical smoothie maybe a bit pricey for some, but its a nice indulgence from time to time especially for breakfast. Love most of their smoothies as well! read more
