    Love knowing they cater!
    Kim S.

    I really like Tropical Smoothie. I feel extra healthy when I grab a smoothie or a sandwich here. The other day I had a ginger apple smoothie and it really hit the spot. The Lenexa location always has plenty of employees on hand to assist hungry customers, and the store itself is always clean. I do wish the smoothies came in smaller portions but on the other hand I never have a problem finishing them because they're so good. This is a fantastic place to grab a quick and healthy treat when traveling down 87th street.

    avocolada smoothie with added ginger! it was HUGE

    Smoothie Spree Chronicles - Part 11: Step aside, Smoothie King! There's a new smoothie monarch in town. (Not that I ever liked Smoothie King anyway...) I was really impressed by the size of their smoothies (24 oz!!!) and their reasonable prices. I tried the avocalada (avocado, pineapple, spinach/kale, coconut and lime) and added ginger, and it was pretty great! It wasn't the best smoothie I've ever had on my smoothie spree around KC, but it was still delicious, and the reasonable price + friendly service earned them 5 stars. I haven't gotten the chance to try their food yet, but I really want to because they can substitute the meat in some of their menu items for Beyond Meat strips (aka fake chicken). I also noticed that if you buy food you can add on a smoothie for just $3 which is fabulous. FABULOUS. (Oh hey apparently this is my 100th review... glad it was for you, Tropical Smoothie Cafe. xoxo.)

    Peanut Butter, Banana, granola with honey wrapped in a grilled pita. So good!

    This place is killin' the smoothie and flat bread game right now. They have a daily happy hour, believe it's still from 3pm to 6pm, that is a buy one get one half-off smoothie (incredible deal and unheard of to hear daily smoothie happy hours unless you're visiting Sonic). Additionally, their peanut butter and banana flatbread (peanut butter, banana, granola & honey) is incredible and oddly extremely satisfying. Don't knock this 8th wonder of the world until you try it and then you'll instantly get what I mean. Their menu, for being a smoothie cafe, is quite extensive (wraps, bowls, sandwiches, flatbreads, breakfast, seasonal food) and constantly changes with "Seasonal items". They do offer breakfast and kids foods as well. Even their smoothie list is impressive and breaks it out into "Kids Smoothies", "Superfood Smoothies", "Classic Smoothies" and "Seasonal Smoothies". My favorite smoothies here are AVOCOLADA (made me a firm believer that avocados in smoothies is actually a great thing) and CHIA BANANA BOOST . Trust me on these. Go ahead and treat yo' self. They also have an app that you can download and skip the line (order ahead) which is nice.

    Grabbed a Baja chicken bowl (without cheese) to go for lunch
    Lyndsey S.

    Disclaimer: Giving this two stars based solely on the food and smoothie I ordered today but I've heard good things from coworkers. There's ample parking and it's easy to find. The interior is spacious and clean and there are places to sit whether it's just you or a larger group.The staff is friendly, which is important to me when I try a new place. (It's never fun when the staff seems inconvenienced by your questions.) I had the Detox Island Green Smoothie (can definitely taste the ginger) and the Baja Chicken Bowl sans cheese. The smoothies only come in one size and it's huge. I didn't finish mine because it was pretty sugary, which is to be expected since it's a smoothie. The meal bowl was really disappointing, especially since it's almost $8. You'll see in the photo that the avocado was brown, so I didn't eat any of it.The rice was dry so I was glad I had the salsa. The chicken was fine but I threw most of the meal away. Overall, not a great first impression.

    Haven't had any of their food but all of the smoothies i have tried have been very good and big for the price. My whole staff orders from here and the orders are always spot on! Great customer service and a fresh product

    Feisty Feta Chicken Wrap
    Steve D.

    The impressive menu features wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, and tacos with flavor combinations from around the world. I tried a feisty feta chicken flatbread and a Korean BBQ steak taco. Both were delicious, generously sized, and reasonably priced. The service was very friendly, and helpful. Very nice!

    Buffalo chicken wrap
    Summer F.

    I came here for lunch with a friend. The prices are super reasonable and the staff is friendly. I had a buffalo chicken wrap. It was good and was served warm, which was nice. My friend also ordered a wrap, but hers didn't come out until 15-20 min after I got mine. People who came in long after is were served smoothies before she got her wrap and I had almost finished eating by the time her food made it to the table. I would give this place a second try because I liked my wrap, but if timing doesn't improve, I won't be a regular.

    Love the vibe!

    This place is amazing, similar to Jamba Juice on the west coast and the best smoothie place in KC in my opinion.

    I've been to almost every boba place in the KC area and Ari Delights will always come out on top…read more It's a super cute place and everyone who works there is wonderful and kind. Their prices are also a lot more reasonable compared to most boba shops in the area. Their milk tea is delicious and their blended drinks are so refreshing. I've tried everything on the menu and my favorites are: 1. Mint To Be -- a super tasty matcha milk tea with refreshing mint flavor. It's great with brown sugar boba. 2. Ari Godness -- a classic brown sugar boba milk (it doesn't have tea, so no caffeine) with delicious flan and boba. I love the textures of both toppings. 3. Peach On Da Beach -- amazingly rich and flavorful peach tea with peach chunks. So good on a hot day. 4. Frozen Sunrise -- refreshing sweet and tangy smoothie that goes really well with fruity popping boba. 5. I'm Panda Frappe -- incredible drink blended with oreo that is great for a chocolate craving. Brown sugar boba is good in this too, but not necessary. Honorable mentions are the Oh My Taro, Hokkaido milk tea, and Deep Blue Sea!! Seriously the best boba place around. I feel at home there!

It takes up most of the store and is easily bigger than the back counter area. Seemed a little out of place, but who am I to judge, i'm more mentioning it as it almost gave me pause. Wanting an after dinner treat I walked the few miles here and sitting in a strip mall I was expecting more cafe vibes rather than chuck e cheese. Granted there weren't any kids here, the rest of the decor was pretty appropriate to a boba cafe. Menu was large, clear. Prices were affordable (aside from the disproportionately high tax rate). Service was friendly and quick. Serving sizes were large, weren't overloaded with ice and foams. I was hoping to get offerings on sweetness levels as Boba places are notoriously sweet or even caffeine offering levels. I was hoping for the hokaido sugar milk tea, but went with the milk tea with the flan and boba which was a nice change of getting just boba added. I'll definitely be returning as it's the only boba place in walking distance.

    I've been a loyal customer for years - until today. Your prices are high, and you have one of the…read moreweakest rewards programs I've ever encountered. There are never any good coupons, promotions, or discount days, but even so, I continued to support your business, spending on average $17 a visit. I kept hoping that once you were more established, you'd start showing some appreciation to your customers. But today was the last straw. My bowl wasn't even filled to the top. When I politely asked the employee for a bit more fruit, especially since there were only five blueberries in my bowl and plenty of room left, I was told that management has instructed staff to put no more than five blueberries in each bowl. They are not allowed to fill the bowls anymore. This is a lousy business practice, and it speaks volumes about how little you value your customers. There's a new açaí bowl establishment just miles away that offers BOGO days, a rewards program that actually counts, and bowls filled to the brim. You can keep your five blueberries. I'll be going elsewhere from now on.

So if you can't decide what you want to get, this option is very helpful so you get a little bit of everything. They'll let you sample it if you're unsure what it is too. My favorite bases to get are Pitaya, Coco Love, Mango, and of course Acai. The chia pudding is my favorite add on every time as well! Highly recommend.
