The cleanliness of the curb appeal and the interior of the store were on point! The customer service was great. The employees actually take the time to acknowledge customers and engage in light conversation. It was apparent when two workers are paired together often. They had a flow about them that made things flow well. Military discount available with proper ID. If you retain your receipt from Harris Teeter, you'll also find coupons on the back that can be used here. This store does support use of the Tropical Smoothie app for ordering ahead, and payment. Cash, credit card and tap options are also viable. Parking is generous and shared with the other neighboring businesses. The wait time during my visit was minimal and most importantly, my smoothie had the flavor and thickness I like. Good customer service makes it easy to tip. The people working here definitely were giving good vibes. When in the area, I would return and would recommend this location to others. read more

The employees are incredibly nice and helpful. I was homeless and they gave me stuff to help me and were empathetic. Xavier and Lily deserve a raise and promotion for being truly kind. Sincerely Jade Violet Black read more

used to love it here. as of lately, it seems like the employees would rather be doing anything but their job. as someone who works in customer service, i understand it--but this is unacceptable. when i went in last, i had mobile ordered 15 minutes in advance, just to get there when they just started making my food. when i walked in, everyone working was sitting around the store and talking right in front of me. nobody greeted me or even looked in my direction until an older african american lady turned around (who was an employee sitting on her phone at the bar area) said very aggressively to me " i am not in line. go. go order. " mind you i had been standing for two minutes at this point. prior to this, about a couple weeks earlier, an older male employee had been standing behind the counter, refusing to acknowledge me for minutes while he played on the register and talked to other employees. i understand wanting to have fun, but if you cannot do your job maybe this isn't the place for you. i have had my orders messed up multiple times here, even ordering online. the ambiance used to be great but now the tables always have crumbs on them and the whole place just makes a customer feel unwelcome. i will not be returning. read more

I have visited this location enough times to give them the benefit of the doubt and 4 out of 7 times they have severely messed up my smoothie order making it taste like a watered down version of what it's meant to taste like. Practically inedible if I'm being honest. Service is mediocre at best with a staff that clearly has no desire to be there. I truly enjoy the Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchise but, this location in particular is just not good. If you can make it to any other location, please do! This was my last straw. read more

My son loves Tropical Smoothie. I am sad to say that I never knew they had so many food options! I was jealous when I saw his sandwich and regretted going through a drive through for myself before. The staff was very friendly and everything was put together with care. I will be back to place my own order next time! read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Turkey Bacon Ranch Sandwich - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Dunkirk, Maryland

Tropical smoothie itself has one of the best healthy food/drink options, however, the visit here was not pleasant. I did not get a welcome vibe and was not acknowledged by the young lady at the cash register which gave me second thoughts of coming here. As soon as another guest arrived, she was immediately greeted by the employee. Not to mention, the business flow was not busy at the time. Most of the employees were ducking their heads down and moved to the back to chit chat. I understand that due to this uncertain time, at least a simple welcoming gesture would have been better. Thankfully, I gave this location a rating of two stars only because one of the gentleman was kind enough to say,"thank you and have a great day." I am all for supporting businesses with this unusual time, and I hope nothing but the best for this establishment. read more

See all

Highly recommended! Going to Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Dunkirk, MD was an absolute delight! The restaurant was exceptionally clean - the floors were freshly mopped and there was no trace of dirt or mess anywhere. The attendants were incredibly helpful - they went out of their way to ensure our order was perfect. They also had a great attitude throughout the process which really enhanced our experience. The smoothie itself tasted amazing! Perfectly sweet but not too much so - something you can only get from a tropical-style smoothie. It wasn't overly thick either, just enough that it filled us up without feeling heavy afterwards. Management at this place definitely deserves praise for running such an excellent business; we'll certainly be back soon! I would've taken a picture but one sip and I was hooked. JT's tip: try the Tripple Berry Oat with Honey. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Hurricane Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Dunkirk, Maryland

This was my first time visiting a TSC. I wanted something quick and light for dinner since it was kind of late. I placed an order online for pickup. I got a chicken quesadilla and got my kid a buffalo chicken bowl. The quesadilla and the bowl were good and fresh even though it was 30 minutes before closing. I'll definitely try this place again. read more

Most of the people that work here don't say anything to anyone when they walk in the door they just look at you. I was running 10 minutes late picking up my online order (just a smoothie) and it was milk by the time I got there to get it. The PF location has no problem putting orders in the fridge for when people order smoothies but the young lady here told me they're not allowed to so basically I needed to manage my time better. Funny, same business different location and different rules. I can say that my smoothie was made far before 5 o clock because 10 minutes late and it's was pure liquid. read more

Customer service was good but what I ordered was bad. Three cheese chicken quesadilla, easy right. First time I got it was about a month ago. It was good but still a little chilly in the center and not crisp at all. Today, no flavor, no cheese, no crust or crunch and very cold, the tiny bit of cheese wasn't even melted. Also note, before the quesadilla was put on the grill, it was microwaved at least twice, just listen to the beeps when your the only one placing an order. Step it up guys! Update: To T Smoothie, I've already provided the details. YOU figure it out. I'm not looking for anything free! What's done is done. read more

Staff is always rude and does not greet you as you walk in, they take a whole year to make your smoothie and make you feel very unwelcome.

My boyfriend and I stopped on here because it was the only healthy quick option in the area. We dropped in during a rush but I felt like the crew was handling the influx. The cashier was accommodating to my dietary needs. I made one of the chicken wraps vegan and he wrote the necessary changes. One of the workers in the back clarified my order to make sure it was right before wrapping. Good customer service and good food read more

This location has horrible customer service. The individual at the counter did not greet or talk the entire transaction like we were bothering her to do her job. if you don't like to be around people, then maybe you should find a new job. read more

Well this is my first time here and even tho the reviews I have seen are all pretty bad my experience wasn't the same. The kids working there are young and remembering how the kids of today are i wasn't too offended when I wasn't greeted with a huge smile welcoming me to the store. The girl who did take my order was nice and friendly and thorough with what I wanted. Our drinks were delicious and the guy had to add something else to my sons drink with our permission because he asked for extra peanut butter and it would have been too thick. Great drinks and great customer service. read more

This Tropical Smoothie is HORRIBLE. I do not recommend. I arrived at 6:08 and it is 6:20 and nobody else in line and I still have not been serviced. Hopefully my smoothie is good at least.... There should not be two people working and one of the two be in training. Very unprofessional waited almost 30 minutes for a smoothie. The crew member was not even apologetic about the wait. Do not get me started on the lack of food safety. The young lady and the guy were not changing their gloves OR washing their hands. She also had a tank top on and open toed wedge sandals. That is not compliant. Very disgusting, I would not eat food from here. Service is trash. read more

Manager was rude when I questioned why walk in register orders received their order before me, since I ordered my 1 drink mobile 20 minutes prior. According to him, I was standing in the wrong spot. It was a mobile order, it shouldn't matter where I was standing in the store. Not interested in ever going back. read more

One star for the fact that i like tropical smoothie, but not this location. The service is EXTREMELY slow! 3 people working on a Saturday afternoon and everyone looks confused and overwhelmed. People came in to pick up there online orders just to find out that it wasn't even made yet. I have been here for 30 minutes for one smoothie and there is still people ahead of me. They need to hire way more staff, especially for a weekend. This place is so crowded right now no one can move around. Not returning read more

Employee was wearing her mask at her chin. Mouth and nose completely out while making smoothies.

I am sooo disappointed! I gave them 2 stars because I am absolutely in love with tropical smoothie cafe! EVERY location I been to, up until now, has delivered and was delicious! This Dunkirk location is a hot mess. I got a peaches and silk smoothie that taste like water and a jamaican jerk wrap, they put jamician sauce on one side of the wrap and not the other smh. They didnt put my side order in my bag either. I wanted to put my co-worker on to the TROPICAL SMOOTHIE bandwagon because she never tried it. Her smoothie was disgusting and the sauce on her club sandwich didnt taste right! I told her try another location. I refuse to go back to the on in DUNKIRK! What a waste! read more

i happened to over hear a girl complaining about a customer there, and when a customer stepped out she complained about bringing his drink and when there was a confusion on the order he response to the customer was "what do you mean" "you must of not paid for it".... i was super shocked to hear such poor etiquette & customer service here. read more

We went there one time, and another woman who ordered a smoothie complained that it wasn't sweet enough, so the girl working there took it back, put the SAME smoothie back in the blender, added sugar to sweeten it, and gave it back to her. That has got to violate so many health codes. Plus, they're so backed up every time we go, we've had 45 minute+ waits for our smoothies, plus, we have even been outright refused service because there were so many orders backed up, and not nearly enough people to make all of them. This place is a hot garbage fire and I will never be coming back here. read more

This place isn't getting off to a good start. Open less than a month and both times I've gone in, it's a dumpster fire. Sunday at lunch time, and there's only ONE person working, and they're out of bananas. So forget about ordering half of the smoothies on the menu. Last time I came in, the online orders weren't working, and I had placed an online order. Fail. This place needs to get its act together or they're gonna go broke giving out coupons for apologizing to people. read more

This tropical smoothie that I went to in vero beach Florida near majestic theater was TERRIBLE! I ordered my smoothie the first one there and I had to wait 20 minutes for it to be chunky with ice, not blended all the way. I also go a turkey bacon ranch and that usually comes with a sandwich not a FLATBREAD! Terrible. Do not ever go there again! read more

Despite the cluster of bad reviews, this location seems to have gotten it together. Called in an order or stopped in nearly a dozen times and never had to wait more than 10 minutes. Always my first choice. read more

great smoothies, although horrible customer service and employees don't wear their masks properly.

I also was about to go and eat there only to find out from an employee that the way they handle there food is wrong. My mother went there yesterday and watched the workers while waiting for her food and didn't see the workers change gloves or have there mask fully on at all times. They have horrible costumer service. Business is very slow. And the manger/boss was saying very inappropriate things to an ex-worker. Swearing to him and implying to give him oral pleasure I don't recommend coming her at all. read more

I don't leave too many reviews but this place deserves one. I went in with 4 kids on a Thursday night. The 2 teenage girls working appeared to be completely miserable. The Smoothies had no flavor and all tasted like blended ice, it was all I could do to get the kids to take a few drinks. I suspect they won't last long here. read more

The smoothies are very tasty along with their food, customer service is great, the people are very friendly, I'm obsessed.

The two times in the last 3 weeks I drove 40 miles away to a tropical smoothie and made the same order....I DID NOT EXPERIENCE CHEST PAIN. When I returned to the DUNKIRK location...ordered the same smoothie I have each time within an hours time...had mild chest pain around my heart. This morning, I ordered the smoothie at the DUNkirk location which is closest to me.. AND I HAVE HAD THE WORST CHEST PAIN ALL DAY. I ordered the smoothie around 810am and by 920 I started experincing lingering chest pain all day. RECENTLY, theres been a lot of turnover at this location as well as a change in the customer base. They hired someone recently of asian decent, and (to be continued ) read more

this place is amazing. amazing food, smoothies, and service. great management 5 starts for sure.
