    JETTY PUNCH™ and MANGO MONSOON™ SMOOTHIE

    i got a jetty punch smoothie and it was fucking horrible. watered down and not very flavorful. i go back in and ask them to remake it and they do. i try it again and it tastes fucking worse. even more watered down. also i couldn't taste any banana. i've been to so many other tropical smoothies and this is the worst one ive ever gotten by far. the mango one was so good but you can't even mae a smoothie right.

    Is it smoothie or water blended with ice??? No flavor. No fruit tasting. First and last time came here

    These guys are pretty quick when making your drink, and they taste good. But I have 2 issues..... it doesn't seem like they are consistent (taste wise) and they use a TON of ice. Seems like a bit more than other smoothie places. Maybe I am wrong, but its g=hard to tell because like I said before, my drinks dont consistently taste the same. And that's too bad because all that ice they use it brings down the fruit flavor combinations. But its still a decent spot. And since it's closer than any Jamba Juice location, I am sure I will be back more than once. Side note, it's "Gene", not "Jean". Are there any American black males with the first name of "Jean". LOL (I kid).

    Thai Chicken Bowl ( slimy cilantro )

    This is my favorite salad to eat at Tropical Smoothie and I always looks forwards to eating it. So flavorful and the cilantro adds a fresh taste to it...but I was so disappointed to find that all the cilantro in my salad was bad. I ended up not eating it because not only was it bad cilantro and looked wilted but it was also slimy. By that point I was afraid to eat anything else from it food quality control needs to be practiced at this particular location!

    Tropical smoothie is one of my favorite smoothie chains. They use to have one near my job in midtown but sadly they took it away. I happened to be riding home on 485 & noticed their was one on an exit coming up so you know I had to jump off & get me one of their yummy drinks. My favorite is the Sunrise Sunset smoothie.

    I can't imagine anyone giving this place less than 5 stars. Through Yelp I discovered a TropIcal Smoothie Cafe last month on a business trip to Tampa and had 3 green smoothies within a 24 hr. period. When I got back home to Matthews NC, the first thing I did was search for a TSC near home and was very happy to find this one! I'm a regular now and have enjoyed meeting Kevin the owner and his great team. The smoothies are great & healthy & delish and the food is equally yummy! Everything is cool at The Trop :)

    Hard to enjoy the smoothie when the straw constantly gets clogged by chunks of fruit. Poor blending skills and bad customer service.

    Absolutely love this place! Everything is so fresh and clean. I've tried so many things on the menu…read moreover the last 3 days. There is an app you can order in advance on. When you sign up the first time you get a free drink. The service was really nice. They hound adults and provided great customer service. I loved the avocado toast although it was a little salty. I couldn't finish my acai bowl because the granola was stale. All three of my fresh juices were refreshing and tasty. I will be back the next time I am in CLT.

    Recently started going here not too long ago. I have a lot of food and chemical sensitivities, so…read morethis place allows me to eat out from time to time, being all their ingredients are fresh and certified organic (truly healthy). Hard to find anywhere! Everything sounded so yummy! I could tell based on their ingredients and how they combined them in their menu options, that they were thoughtfully created. This is what made me really love this place! My first trip was my best! Everything tasted so good, flavorful, and fresh! I was telling everyone about it. Also, parking is good and easily accessible. Based on these few things alone, I would have given it 5 stars. However, my times going back since, have not been so positive. I typically order the same thing, but each time it tastes different from the first one I had (as if things are missing). They have tasted flat with little to no flavor. I was disappointed, especially being the flavorful ingredients that come in it. Also, the windows could use some tinting....the sun beats in so much, that there is often nowhere to comfortably sit (only seating was by the window). We have had to leave the establishment numerous times to enjoy our food. Last, but not least, the napkin holder was dirty and the staff were NOT wearing gloves to prepare the food. This was a big no-no for me! This is a health/safety concern, especially being they are prepping and serving raw, uncooked foods. I also did not see any hand washing. This is NOT ok with me anytime, but especially during flu season! These sanitary issues alone may be enough to stop me and my family from going there in the future. Just hate to see such beautiful food, at this price point, being served so carelessly. We may try their other location in the 28277 zip code area, to see if they're any better with their sanitation procedures or if it's just the company as a whole. This location is farther away, so won't be able to visit as often. Hope the Stonecrest location tightens up on their cleanliness/sanitation, as well as consistency with their products taste, because I would love to keep going there!
