    This has been my go to place for a quick and healthy smoothie back in Phoenix, especially after a long morning run like today. Knowing we will be having happy hour and a feast later this afternoon/evening, this was the perfect stop for something light. First time to this location, conveniently located next to Trader Joe's where I'll be picking up drinks and food for tonight's happy hour at our house. I've gotten both their food and smoothies in the past at other locations, but I have learned throughout the years that the food is a bit bland so I have stayed away from it. Their smoothies are outstanding and this location did not disappoint. I usually get a smoothie or a bowl and have them throw a scoop of protein in if I've already done some exercise. I got the Island Green smoothie today (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana) with added protein. Fresh and delicious, 5 star smoothie as always. The girl at the counter was super friendly, and the place was very clean and tidy. 5 star service for sure. So why only 2 stars? As soon as I walked in, the music was playing abnormally loud. Not only that, but F bombs were flying from the first song I heard as I was placing my order. I made eye contact with another patron who was very surprised as well. I've been known to throw a few sassy words out there myself here or there, but this was definitely out of place. For an establishment that serves families and kids, or any restaurant for that matter, this is highly out of the ordinary. It was definitely a staff member's personal music, and not the typical satellite radio or radio station. If my kids were with me today, I would have walked out right away. Speaking with a manager may be in order so it doesn't happen again, especially if a family with younger kids walk in.

    This place is great for a quick bite to eat, drink or both. You can dine in, grab and go or order ahead/delivery. The place was very clean and there were plenty of places to sit inside. The smoothie menu is located on the left side of the menu and your heartier foods are located on the right side of the menu. I ordered a smoothie (Pomegranate Plunge). Very easy to order at the counter. The cashier was super friendly and you can leave a tip. My smoothie was ready within 5 mins of ordering. Their smoothies have always been top notch. The coldness of the drink, smooth texture and freshness of the ingredients will give your taste buds a kick. Smoothies come in a nice filling size. I will definitely visit this location again. The parking lot may seem small because it is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have a problem on a Saturday afternoon.

    Detox Green Smoothie

    I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe on New Garden Road. And this is why. Every time I have gone into this store, the staff is welcoming and super friendly and the store itself is super clean. The only downside is most of their smoothies add turbinado sugar except for the Detox Green smoothie. You can request no sugar added though which is a plus if you remember to do so. My order was the Detox Green smoothie(spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, and banana. With no added sugar) with add ins: whey protein, collagen, B12, fat burner! This store also offers an App where when you sign up, you can earn points and many food options as well. Thank You Tropical Smoothie! Ciao for now.

    Triple berry oat

    I've visited this tropical smoothie cafe twice in the last couple weeks. I stopped by one afternoon after school for a quick pick me up and decided on the Triple Berry Oat which included whey protein. I prefer smoothies with the protein powder, not necessarily for taste but for nutritional value. It was a little slow but they were clearly busy and working as fast as they could. The next time I decided to place the order ahead on the app. I ordered the same smoothie since I loved it so much! Ordering ahead worked well. I arrived right at the time the app said it'd be ready and was handed my smoothie two minutes later. Again, they were busy so I accepted this. I haven't tried the food yet but hear it's tasty. Maybe next time!

    Dine in | Lunch | $1-10 Normally do not review chains but tropical smoothie cate is a favorite of mine-- just the smoothies! Not the biggest fan of their food options as they're a hit or miss depending on the employee. Sometimes too much sauce, sometimes under cooked; wouldn't recommend. Now, if you add white chocolate to any smoothie, it becomes perfection! My favorite would have to be the Bahama mama for sure. This is my go to location in Greensboro. Store is clean for the most part. Smoothies are made very quick in my opinion. Not a bad spot to grab a snack after a workout or while running errands. Food: 4 Service: 4 | Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Kiwi Quencher, Island Green, Mango Magic, Paradise Point

    I cannot express how much I love this place! It has become a favorite of mine. I want to say the employees are fast and super kind. They are always on top of their work. And the few times I've seen them busy, wait times aren't long. Such a great morning crew! Now the food. The smoothies have been great I've tried about 6 different kinds and they never disappoint! Their seasonal ones are the best though! So make sure to check those out before they are gone for the season. I've had their quesadillas, flatbreads and wraps. I think the flatbreads are amazing. And their quesadillas are always super cheesy. 10/10. I highly recommend you check them out! Because you're missing out!!

    Service was quick and efficient. My wrap was made exactly as I ordered. The server was pleasant and friendly. I like the simple wood block tables.

    Jamaican jerk wrap... I guess?

    This place really needs to be cleaned. The floors are sticky and there is food on floor that was clearly from yesterday.

    Continuing my quest to try more açaí bowls brought me to OrganicAF. I ordered the Funky Monkey bowl…read moreat the counter to go. While I waited for the employee to make my bowl, I took a seat. The inside is very interesting space wise. There's just one long bench facing the counter and a couple of high top seats facing the window. After 5 minutes, my bowl was done and I took it with me to eat during my lunch break at work. I don't know if it was just the day I went but the to go container looked different than others I have seen from reviews. Mine looked like it was in a soup container you would get at a Chinese restaurant - the kind with a flat lid. Because of that, a lot of the peanut butter and chia seeds stuck to the lid because the lid wasn't curved. Secondly, I ordered the Funky Monkey bowl and it was missing a few ingredients. The bowl is advertised as organic açaí base with granola, banana, strawberries, peanut butter, Nutella, and chia seeds. My bowl was missing the strawberries and Nutella part. Despite all of that, the peanut butter was good and tasted natural. If I ever go back here, I'd probably just go for their smoothies.

    I wish this place had more seating. The inside has a pretty large empty space without tables and…read morethe tables outside were covered in pollen so we had to go sit somewhere else. I loved the sunset bowl. It tasted really fresh and all of the flavors went great together. One thing that was pretty annoying is that they put the honey on top of the toppings so when you open the lid half the fruit sticks to the lid. Might make more sense to put the honey under the topping. It would also be nice if they had a protein bowl since it's literally walking distance from a big gym.

Had the quality been up to par and the value received worth it, the price could have been justified. Went with the Sunset Breeze bowl. Overall tasty, but the proportions were off. Seemed like there was half a bottle of honey poured in, where the fruit and granola were swimming in it. A little hint of honey is always nice in a bowl like this, but not as the main event. Definitely not worth it for $14. This could have been super tasty had it been made right. Smoothies also a bit on the high end compared to many other local smoothie and bowl joints. Regular juices, most at or above $10 each, also pricey. Don't know if the quality is any better than my experience with this bowl, but for $10 and my already so so experience with the bowl, I'm not about to try it at this point. The spot looks great. Clean, open with plenty of light and a wall of windows. Comfy seating with chairs and even a couch. Too bad we won't be enjoying this lovely space unless they increase their quality and/or reduce their prices. I'm hopeful they do, and this is just a bit of growing pains during their first few months of opening. I will try it again once they're further along and hope to leave a better review. For now, there are plenty of other less pricey and better quality smoothie/bowl/juice joints locally and nearby.
