    GREEN DREAM YOGURT
    Adam L.

    Made a mobile order for a bowl and a smoothie. Arrived at the store 15 minutes later. It located in the Gaithersburg Square Shopping Mall with a lot of complimentary parking. The self pickup shelves were on the left hand side after walking into the store. The Green Dream Yogurt had all ingredients as expected. The Avocolada was delicious as usual.

    Sunrise Sunset, Beach Bum and 2 Mocha Madness!!!

    The food and the smoothie were tasty! And the ladies working there are so nice and personable. Great place to pickup a meal.

    Reusable cup - saves you 50 cents on each smoothie

    We live only a few minutes from this location, and we'd been hoping for a good smoothie place for a long time now! We are already regulars. We even bought the reusable cup for $4 - it's better for the environment and you save 50 cents every time you use it to get a smoothie. The smoothies are delicious. We've also tried their chicken pesto flat bread which was good! The customer service is also great; the employees are very friendly. We'll definitely be frequenting this place. Edit: I also just realized from reading the other reviews that Rafi, who took our order this morning, is the owner. He is great!

    I hadn't even heard of this place until this afternoon when somebody said, hey let's order delivery from Tropical Smoothie Café. I had to look up the menu to you even begin to know what to consider for my order. Everything looked delicious -- flatbreads wraps, pressed sandwiches and bowls, quesadillas and all sorts of other things, and yes, tropical smoothies.. And when it arrives just a short time later, it was in fact, as delicious as it looked on the menu. The food was well seasoned, and arrived hot. The prices are fair. Quesadillas are rather small compared to the size of the wraps and sandwiches -,but they didn't come up short in flavor and seasoning. Nothing came with extra sauces, which is always a nice thing to have to dip your wrap and your quesadilla or your sandwiches in. And the Irene come with a bag of chips. The Carribian Jerk Wrap with pineapple salsa and black beans and rice and other nifty goodness was hefty and delicious and had a nice kick of heat - but not overwhelming. All that and a bag of chips, really, for $9.99. I look forward to ordering from this place again.

    If you want to eat something healthy come and eat here. I ordered food for me and my two co workers and I wa surprise. We ordered three smoothies (bahama mama, berry blast and avocaldo), bacon sandwich, and two super green cesear wraps. It was already prepared once we got into the store. The place inside is a yad small but once the pandemic is over there are benches outside to sit down.

    Best tropical Cafe in Maryland Nicole coustomer service was great also Chris assisted me with a great smoothie this is my first time ever

    Rice is super HARD :(

    Love this place! Smoothie are always really good. Unfortunately I purchased a wrap and my rice wasn't cooked all the way. I called and spoke with the Team Leader who was super helpful and actually allowed me to come back the next day to pick up a Wrap at no charge. I'm giving this review to inform the company, the owner. Whoever (NOT THE EMPLOYEES -- they're doing great they can only be as great as they equipment they have to work with) Can you guys purchase a new rice maker please! Thank you. ILL TRY again in 3months.

    The menu is so much!

    I just got a steak and cheese sandwich from here. I got a small size because this area always lets…read moreme down and when I say this area, I mean the DMV but specifically Montgomery County, Maryland. When I got home, I was absolutely shocked! The sandwich was actually the real deal. The meat was super tender, no connective tissues, no chewy meat. The bun was super fresh and soft. This area seems to think that CheesesteakCo up in Baltimore County somewhere or Glen Bernie is the best but no it's not sorry! This Beers & cheers jawn needs to be talked about way more because it was absolutely a good cheesesteak sandwich that is damn near Philadelphia quality.

    Tuesday 1/7/2025…read more Came across this spot randomly on Yelp a few years ago and saw they had some popular items like wings and cheesesteaks but what caught my eye most was the different empanada flavors. I made a pickup order over the phone and everything went well. One thing I got notified by the worker was that the empanadas will soon be leaving the menu permanently, so luckily I could try them before the change went into effect. For my order I got: applefest empanadas (2 ct) $6.49, steak and cheese (provolone) $12, and the 12 ct Mexican BBQ wings $16.49. - When it comes to the Applefest empanadas they were decent and they kind of reminded me of the McDonald's apple pies (an item I last tried YEARS ago). But I didn't like the $3.25 cost per empanada and being forced to order the empanadas in 2s-4s-6s without having the opportunity to mix flavors. - The steak and cheese was alright. It didn't wow me or anything but it gets the job done. - The Mexican bbq wings are a pretty good price, but I made a mistake with the flavor as the dry rubbed "Mexican bbq" wings were weak. Luckily, I had some BBQ sauce at home, and adding it to the wings enhanced the experience. Overall, Beers and Cheers is a cool little spot. The wings for the price are pretty good and something I'd recommend, but I honestly can't see myself returning.

    By now, I am sure you're getting tired of my string of 5 star reviews for the Firehouse Deli in…read moreGaithersburg. But I don't care because this little sandwich shop deserves all the praise I can heap on it. I had a tuna salad sandwich that was perfection! Heaping with luscious tuna, crispy lettuce and a sharp slice of cheddar. Heavenly! But, as good as that tuna sandwich was - as always - it is the professional, perfectionist, friendly and hard working people who run this place that actually keep me coming back. They are good at what they do, nothing more, nothing less. And they do it all with a smile! I will be back, of course, to the Firehouse Deli because it's at the top of its game. But I will also be back because the woman at the counter treats me so well. Bravo to the Firehouse Deli!!!!

The service was good both in person and over the phone. The lady taking my order was helpful and made sure I was all good when picking up the food. - The steak & cheese was alright and was even better with some BBQ sauce. I think the sub could've greatly benefitted from having a house sauce paired with it to make up for the meat's lack of flavorful juices that you would come to expect from a typical Philly. - The seasoned fries were solid, they get the job done. - The fajita melt was solid and the chipotle sauce on it highly elevated the experience. I'm going to need more of that Chipotle sauce, please. - Now I'm more of a hot sub guy over a cold sub guy so I'm testing the waters with the Italian sub. Luckily, the Italian sub is a solid option. It's made very well and the bread is fluffy. Overall, I'd best describe this spot as simple, basic food that's executed very well. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend a stop for a quick lunch or quick snack.
