    Love knowing they cater!

    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.

    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.

    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.)

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

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great little bar & grille establishment in the Shawnee Mission West area. If you're looking for a…read morelocal watering hole, a great burger, or maybe some bar trivia, then Beck's is the place. Easy to find off of 87th, the space is not huge, but there's plenty of seating, especially at the bar. Daily specials and a happy hour that runs until 6 PM during the week, so there is plenty from which to choose. Burger night (Mondays?) is $2 off the specialty burgers, and I recommend that Diablo Burger if you like a little heat. Sliced jalapeños & pineapple atop a 1/2 lb. burger with a sweet heat sauce, this burger will hit just right. Service is friendly and fast and the prices are right on par with the market. You can get in and out with a couple of burgers and a couple of drinks during special time for around $45 and that's a pretty good deal with a better value to boot. If you have a kid at SM West, then you might make this a pre-game event spot or a place to have refreshments afterwards. Great spot!

I cut it in half and took the rest of it home. I got horseradish and mayo to top it with. Fries are amazing- thin cut but still like steak fries.

However, I've visited this place at least 20 times, and I've only been able to get one about 2-3 times. Either it's so popular that people buy them right away as soon as they're put on the shelf, or they simply don't make enough. As everyone knows, their products are a little pricey, which means you can only grab a small selection, about 2-3 pieces with a coffee, and it's already $20-$30. So they're definitely on the expensive side for a bakery. The cake was great, but I wish the price range were around $30-$40 (it's currently about $55-$60+). The staff are welcoming and attentive. However, there can be a long wait, even when there are only 3-4 customers checking out. Overall, great bakery and more cream puff please!
