I walked up to the counter while there was one person in the store and inquired about my online order. Some blonde girlie was working the counter and said she's making it. I proceeded to wait for 10 minutes and then finally someone asked me if i was waiting to order and i said i've been waiting for my online order. he just pointed to the back, where the one girl had put the order wordlessly. customer service is not there. On my way out I said "i'm kinda surprised you didn't tell me it was ready". I got purposefully turned backs and the vibe they don't give a fuck. Not the kind of employees that are stellar in the service industry lol. In addition to this, the bowl. pictures below. The bowl is maybe 1/4 full compared to the picture? Least to say i'm kinda disappointed/dissatisfied with both the food and service read more

While Door Dashing found this delicious smoothie place. When I went inside, the dining area was very spacious and clean. I was greeting and picked up my order because I ordered through the app. My smoothie was made easy, I ordered a Detox Island Smoothie. At first taste, the Ginger was overpowering and I had to ask for a 2nd and this time I got a regular Island Detox. The regular flavor was good, filed with greens and I loved it, will visit again! read more

I checked this place out on a weeknight after my friend and I got a craving for smoothies. The menu was large and the service was fast. I ordered the Pomegranate Plunge and it had great flavor. I wouldn't be opposed to going back to try some of their food options like the wraps, sandwiches, and flatbreads. read more

I LOVE this place! I enjoy the fast service and the wide selection of smoothies. Every time I come here, I never know what to order because they have so many options! There are even options to add protein powder to your smoothie! So far my favorites are Beach Bum and Blimey Limey, but I have yet to try more. In my opinion, the smoothies are not "healthy" because they are really sugary, but they are definitely tasty! At around $5 a smoothie, they are a bit costly, but I usually wait until I get a coupon in the mail or an electronic coupon via the GCM app, so I can save a few dollars. The staff is always friendly and attentive. The ambiance is bright and a good place to study if you're looking for a place that is open late. The blenders can get noisy at times, but I usually study with headphones, so it doesn't bother me. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a tasty smoothie as a post gym snack, or a nice treat to catch up with a friend! read more

Got our order wrong and location was hard to find. Store looked closed when we pulled up and tree blocked storefront.

not the type to ever leave reviews but this is the second time I've come into this tropical smoothie both times was absolutely terrible! the smoothies did not taste good at all!! I will never be back to this location! read more

I came here for a late night smoothie and the biggest perk to this place is that they are open until midnight! A smoothie seems like the perfect option for the crazy heat we have been getting here. They had plenty of options to choose from, of which I got a berry smoothie with blueberries, acai, and other berries. There is only one size from what I could see and it is huge! I wish they made smaller sizes, because I definitely could not finish mine. The smoothie was pretty sweet but "berry" good! The music was a little loud for me, but it could be a good study spot if you don't mind some music since they have sandwiches, smoothies, wifi, and plenty of seating. Also, they are having a deal on June 14, which is National Flip Flop day so you can get a free Sunshine smoothie if you wear flip flops that day! read more

Great food. Great service. I come to this location frequently and it's always been amazing. The wraps and flat breads are my favorite!

Dee is the new owner Bought this location 1.5 yrs ago I spoke with Dee (owner) personally who would not honor the WCJB BE OUR GUEST certificate My wife had in drawer granted it's a few years old NEVER EXPIRES means NEVER EXPIRES Poor customer service Dee Not going to patronize an owner of a business that doesn't care about their Gainesville customers Also submitted a customer feedback form per the suggestion of corporate that responded to my review..they never contacted me back read more

Smoothie is good, but if I'm paying damn near 10 dollars for a drink I expect it to be filled to the top.

I love the smoothies and the wraps here!!!! Omg so refreshing and tasty! I'll upload pictures whenever I got back.

Summer is coming! And tropical smoothie will satisfy your smoothie cravings and flatbread chompings. They are even advertising that June 14 is National Flip Flop day and will get a free Sunshine smoothie if you wear them that day. The smoothies are refreshing but they are huge! I've never been able to finish one. They have a variety of flavors, including the classic combinations, aka my favorite of strawberry banana and protein add ons. But it's nothing out of the ordinary and prices are good for the size you get, around $6 just a smoothie. I sometimes get the jetty junior which is half the size and half the price. They stay true to their tropical theme and staff is always helpful. If you ever want a smoothie, tropical smoothie will do the trick! read more

Tropical Smoothie is really more like a 3.5 star but I want to round up because while it's not the most glamorous it's still a solid choice for what it offers. The smoothies I've tried, which have been many, are all delicious! Note that while they are mostly made with fruits they are not all exactly healthy. If you are concerned about nutrition facts their website does an excellent job breaking each food item down. The flatbreads are what I recommend as they are simple and satisfying. Overall the smoothies come in a large size that could realistically be a meal in it of itself but couple a flatbread and chips and you've really got a meal that takes me back to the cramming for finals days. read more

Never thought I'd be a smoothie fan but here I am! Tropical Smoothie has such a good selection of healthy smoothies. My personal favorites are the Orange Glow and the Blimey Limey. You have the ability to add any of your favorite proteins too and they're very transparent about the calories of each drink. It's a good place to study and just chill with your friends. I come to the Gainesville location at least once a month, and I leave with a sense of satisfaction! Definitely some of the best smoothies. read more

I had ordered the chicken pesto flatbread and really enjoyed it however I wished it was larger. The flavor of the chicken with the pesto, cheese and tomato was really good. I also ordered the blackberry açaí smoothie and thought it was great however found it hard to finish drinking cause my paper straw became flimsy and part of the straw would get in my smoothie. read more

I've loved Tropical Smoothie for YEARS, since high school. This location does not disappoint. It's always very clean and the employees are always pleasant.

I was excited to see there was one here. Excitement turned to disappointment. Ordered Spinach salad with Beyond Meat, fake chicken. Several pieces were hard as a rock, microwaved. I highly doubt that is how they are to be cooked, or at least let them thaw first. The cafe is a good size, lots of seating, free wifi, open 24/7, and it looked like it the way it needed renovation. (see picture of the booth seat, there is actually a hole the size of a golf ball) Booths were worn so bad it is hard to sit on it with shorts on without scratching your legs. Some tables had tape over the edges to keep them from falling apart. The staff was friendly. There is no club to join for any specials. When I asked about a text club, like the other stores, she said she did not know but would get the text number for me. She never did. Not sure if I would return. Left with my tail hanging down between my legs, sad. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Could use a renovation - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This tropical smoothie location has been my go to for late night studying. Granted, it can get pretty loud with the students and running blenders but the place is very close to my apartment and always has yummy food. My favorite drink to get while studying is the mocha madness with energizer. I swear that this beverage will work better than any coffee you've ever had. The mocha madness itself does not have that much caffeine in it so make sure to also ask for energizer. The energizer is extra and I'm not 100% sure what exactly it is, but it never fails to wake me up at 3AM. Also, disregard the hours on this Yelp. This location is open 24 hours. I've had friends who have studied here overnight. The workers also don't seem to mind if you connect tables for studying sessions if the place isn't too busy. They're very nice and will at times bring your drink/food to your table for you. read more

I used to visit Tropical Smoothie frequently before it renovated, so it disappoints me that their hours have changed and they are no longer open all night. Even after renovations, the shop seems pretty identical to how it was before, just some new furniture was installed. Sadly, you will not be able to study here all night anymore! Just like any other smoothie place, their drinks are good, and they have a decent selection. I always get the island green or bahama mama, depending on if I want something more refreshing or more sweet. I also appreciate that they have coupons on various apps and coupon books that are distributed within the city. A normal smoothie costs around $5, but you can easily get half off with the coupons! This is a really reliable location if you're just trying to make a quick stop and grab a snack. They'll have your drink out within a few minutes. I've never had an issue with the workers; they even give out free smoothie coupons to student organizations if you're looking for a co-sponsorship! read more

Although I can't say anything about the food, I definitely love the smoothies here. My favorite smoothies of all time have been the Avocolada and the Sunny Day. The smoothies are absolutely delicious. My only gripe is that they only have one size for their smoothies and I can never finish all of it so it always ends up going to the trash eventually. The smoothies are extremely filling and usually I can only finish half. However, they recently redid the place and I love their new look. read more

This is the worst Tropical Smoothy! Located at 3345 SW 34 Street, Gainesville. I've made the mistake of going here twice after knowing that they're so bad. It's just that we love Tropical Smoothy so much and never had a problem at any other location. But at this one , it seems that the blenders don't work because there's always chunks of ice and it won't come up the staw. It turns an $8 smoothy into junk, total waist of money. read more

Got a berry smoothie. 9 bucks and It was just awful. Tasteless and super sweet. I tossed it and bought a protein shake at a gas station.

Tasty, Fresh, Healthy, always good! Large selection to choose from. Great add-ins available. Healthy food choices available as well.

Yesterday was my first time trying TSC. I placed my order online. I wasn't sure what I should get but the fact that it was plainly laid out online really helped me to decide. When I went to pick it up it took me forever to find the location, they are kind of hidden. I was soooo pleased with my food, I ordered the chicken ceaser wrap and I got a sunrise sunset smoothie. I will definitely order from them again plus like that it is a healthier option.... if you haven't tried them your missing out... also customer service was top notch!!! read more

I usually have had a good experience here. Today I got tropical smoothie delivered from bitesquad and it has been really good! They followed directions and labeled everyone's food and smoothies. Mocha madness and a peanut butter and banana flatbread goes really well together. Yum. read more

Tucked away in the same sprawling shopping plaza that has a Hooters, Asian grocery store, Fresco Italian, and a multitude of other stores and restaurants, you'll find the Tropical Smoothie Café. Serving smoothies, as you'd probably expect, but also some pretty decent wraps and sandwiches: their "Ultimate Club" is simple awesome. Also, they are very willing to try to make a custom smoothie for you should nothing on the extant menu appeal to your fancy. On top of all this, the kids working there have a very chill, laid-back, vibe and the shop, at least last time I was there, is open now 24/7 which is a great fact because really, where else will you get a smoothie at three in the morning? The only bad I will say about them is their corporate website has a voice-over which sounds like a very loud version of the Geico lizard . . . I don't want to go to your website to check on your menu and hear a fake aussie accent instead of the Chanté Moore CD I was listening to, ok? read more

I'm a regular here. I love the avocolada, it's my absolute SHIT. I spritz it up with some ginger and sometimes I'll even get a cookie. Just found out they have moringa and matcha, too! Dope. I really appreciate that I can get a veggie packed smoothie on the go. It's my go-to when I'm in a hurry and need some nutrition. What's great is, sometimes I'll add on a sandwich (not bad! tbh, tho that's not why I'm here) and regret it only because the smoothie is so filling. Julie runs this place. She's the kindest and she's got a great fizz to her presence. The ever-changing cast of characters behind the counter is anchored by Addison. They're all dependable and quick* to have my order blended up. Again, love that I can achieve some semblance of a quick and healthy meal that isn't unreasonably priced. I'd find your go-to, customize a little, and depend on the tropic to have it ready for a call ahead. *Smoothies are usually super quick, the sandwiches not necessarily. Plan accordingly. read more

Not a fan of their wraps/food because they basically just microwave stuff, but that is not saying they are not good. I come here for their smoothies and absolutely love their hours - usually open 24 hours. Sometimes it may take a lil bit for your smoothie to come out, but most of the time it is worth it. They are also receptive to you customizing your smoothie i.e. add cranberries, substitute chocolate for white chocolate, being generous in amount of ice they mix in, etc, so that is a plus. I want to give them a 4/5 but because their staff changes pretty often, their smoothies sometimes are inconsistent. As a result, the taste of the smoothie changes almost each time I go there. read more

The smoothies are always delicious, very well priced, and the quantity is pretty good for the amount you pay. If you use Gift Certificates and More you can get $2 off every so often. It's a great place to come with friends and talk over a smoothie. I always come after a game of volleyball and get a nice refreshing smoothie. The food is also really good, it does just take a bit longer to make. Their breakfast wraps are to die for. read more

I've been to this Tropical Smoothie Cafe multiple times over the last several years and I've always had a pleasant experience. Most recently, I went for dinner with some friends. They have several paninis, wraps, and flatbreads that are low-calorie, healthy, inexpensive, and not too heavy. I got a huge wrap (it could easily be split into two or three meals) and a banana for around $7! They have a variety of smoothies, I've gotten them previously and love the mango and strawberry ones. I got the Baja Chicken wrap and was shocked at how big it was when I got it. It had rice, avocado, lettuce, black beans, and onions onions... it was a little sweeter than I prefer, but still delish nonetheless. I would definitely get it again. The staff was super friendly here as well. The cashier was helpful and very patient with us. We had a great time here and I would definitely come back. read more

Best smoothie place in town. I live right around the corner and eat here at least once every week. Pretty much everything is good and the prices will run you about the same as any other restaurant, but SMOOTHIE!! The service is smooth and efficient (I've only had one time where it was under par).

Loved the peanut butter/whey smoothies. What got me hooked to this place was the scratch off promos they would give out and more often than not, I would get free smoothies or wraps. Delicious and healthy when trying to studying for exams. I always see those few in groups tying to study and I recommend this place when trying to get a post/pre workout meal. You get the protein, vitamins, carbs, and organic nutrients you need to satisfy any diet. Will come back when I visit. read more

I moved to Tallahassee not long after the first Tropical Smoothie opened in 1998, and because it was right down the road I was a regular customer. That's never changed, I love this place and their smoothies. I've watched them go from a couple small, smoothie only places to an establishment with a great overall choice of sandwiches, etc. to compliment their smoothies. I've eaten at the ones all over Tallahassee and Jax, and this one in Gainesville, and this one should lose their franchise. I've been there 4 times (that tells you how much I love the smoothies) and EVERY time I've had chunks of ice in the bottom and smaller ice throughout the smoothie. They are also just poorly made with an "unequal" taste of ingredients. I know I've had over a 1000 Tropical Smoothies - at least - over the last 18 years so I'm an expert when it comes to this place. What's worse is that the owners & staff are just awful - the service is bad, their attitudes are "Oh well, I don't want to be here anyway," and good luck getting a "Thank you." I say this because I'm a huge fan of Tropical Smoothie and this particular one gives the business a bad name. They don't participate in promotions, don't honor other things (like the discount for your Tropical Smoothie cup) and act like they've never even heard about them. The 24 hour bit is not a good idea for this type of place, either. That it gets 5 stars from anyone tells me that students these days don't have a discerning bone in their body, and care more for the free WiFi and seating to study, sober up, or whatever. Just another example of a typical university town establishment that caters to kids and drops its quality because they have a steady customer base. I hope Tropical Smoothie - the business - puts the kibosh on this place. If they care about their name and have any integrity, they will. read more
