On occasion, I like to park here or across the street at Harris Teeter. Then go for a walk/run down Grand Oaks and then refresh myself with a yummy mango magic smoothie and a cup of ice water for my doggie. It's just perfect, convenient and a healthy way to start the day for both my doggie and I I still wish they had a drive thru like they do by Tanger. I'd rather have the drive thru for Tropical Smoothie than the Starbucks next door. Anyway, quick and friendly service during this visit. The mango color was a bit lighter this time but the flavor was still on point. Yum! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Mango magic - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Tropical Smoothie Cafe was recommended to me by my girlfriend around a year ago. This is the location I frequent the most and it has been a pleasant experience to this day. I have ordered from here a multitude of times and mainly get a smoothie and a flatbread to accompany. All of the smoothies I have tried have been moderate to great tasting. The flatbreads can be hit-or-miss at times, but have never been bad. The service can vary depending on the day, but overall I've never been treated poorly or had any inconveniences due to staff. The look is similar to all Tropical Smoothie Cafes leaving the ambiance unremarkable. Some of the items on the menu can be a bit pricey and this is not a store I'd attend often due to the cost. Overall, it's your typical Smoothie joint and despite a few flaws is overall a solid option if you're looking for lunch or a quick snack. read more

This is a pretty good Tropical Smoothie location. Parking isn't ideal with a busy Starbucks next door but manageable. The staff are friendly and our online orders have always been correct even with modifications. If you do order online, be aware they make it quick so your smoothie or food may sit for a minute. There's space inside to sit but I've never stayed. It is clean and quiet when I pick up though. read more

I haven't been here sense the last time they made me a nasty sandwich. I ordered over the phone came in stood there for a few minutes and not a hello or anything. Finally I have to sit and wait they go did you order this I'm like no I haven't even been greeted yet. Then watch the girl take 5 min it feels like to make my sandwich which is now cold. They didn't care when I said I wasn't greeted. I work in Customer service my whole life and that's unacceptable. So I finally look up and my smoothie is just sitting on the other side of the counter I barely saw it saw my name and was like oh thanks for not telling me my smoothies ready. They go I called your name. Bs I'm the only one in there and I did not hear my name . read more

I've gone here twice now, ordered "no cheese" and saw it printed on the label, but still when I got home my wrap was smothered in cheese, both times. I was assured they take food allergies seriously.. but really, some people are anaphylactic and just one bite of dairy can make someone so sick and be deathly. I understand people make mistakes, I've worked in the industry myself, but the customer service wasn't kind either. EDIT: The employee I interacted with here saw my review on Yelp and thought he was clever enough to add a cruel comment to it, perhaps in trying to intimidate me. I wish he was clever enough to realize I would find out, and also while my intent when I began leaving Yelp reviews was to help businesses out, I also refuse to only leave the positive reviews, and feel it's necessary to leave honest reviews. But commenting on my review and saying "wow you sound like a Karen and a total B" is cruel and unnecessary, not to mention unprofessional. I hope you learn better customer service and stop trolling people who leave honest reviews. read more

I'm so happy there is now a Tropical Smoothie closer than Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. This location is well light and clean. They have a few tables inside and couple outside. I always order a chicken quesadilla. The favorite drink is the Sunrise Sunset. I like the new summer flavor, Watermelon Mojito. It even comes with a cool edible lime straw. The cashiers are always nice. It's never been super busy when I've stopped by. They usually have about 6 to 8 people working so we receive the food relatively quickly. All staff members have on masks. They do offer a military discount. read more

See all

I've stopped by the Cafe twice this week. Both times I ordered online using the mobile app, and each time it was ready by the time I pulled in. I live maybe two minutes away in Grand Oaks. Service is always friendly when I walk in, and the employees have always been masked. Plenty of parking for the time of day when I arrive. After my first order, I received a reward for a free smoothie, and that's what I took advantage of today. Smoothie flavors are consistently well mixed. I haven't tried the food yet at this location, but I'm happy with both smoothies that I've had so far. The first one was the Lean Machine and the second one was the Acai Berry Boost. read more

I'm here probably twice a week. Usually I order a smoothie on their app and pick it up in the store. My order is always exactly on time and made perfectly! The staff is always friendly and cheerful and greets everyone who walks in. Lots of healthy and delicious options for smoothies (and food) and very reasonably priced. read more

I got a smoothie and it was good but couldn't get over the fact that the men working were talking about them sweating. As a food industry you should keep things sanitary!!!!! Service was also slow took 30 minutes for 3 drinks. read more

I walked in after I long and hard practice expecting a nice refreshing smoothie. They told me at 8:50 that they are no long taking orders while I was watching them make an order in front of me. Not only is this disrespectful to my time but it also shows how poorly this business is ran. The sigh deliberately said open in bright green, yet they told me they are not able to provide a smoothie for me. I find this completely disrespectful and a big waste of time. I do not recommend coming here no matter what your craving may be. read more

Please remove your table and chairs from the public sidewalk! You have a lot of residents from Grand Oaks like myself who like to walk over but have a difficult time getting through with strollers, wheelchairs etc. read more

I sat for 20 minutes waiting for my order today. Found out after that they had lost it. They did go ahead and make it right away and give it to me. No apology for losing my order, nothing. I got home and the order was not even close to what I asked for. So I went back and told them it wasn't what I ordered. They didn't say a thing. No sorry. No will give you a free one. Nothing! In their defense. It was a crazy day. But, all I was looking for was somebody to say that they were sorry for making the wrong thing. I got all the way home, then had to come back to get it fixed. read more

Stood at the counter with my daughter and waited to order for 7 minutes. Not one of the four employees looked up from what they were doing. Not one of the four employees walked over. Not one of the four employees said a word to us to acknowledge our very existence. And there was no one else in line. Just us. It was actually funny after a few minutes...then infuriating. Walked out and went to Starbucks next door. read more

Love love love this place. Clean, fresh, fast and yummy! Everyone should try the Watermelon mojito smoothie! This is my weekly lunch go to!
