Asked if the chocolate banana peanut butter shake or whatever was vegan off the menu, they said yes. I call another store and they said no cause they use the Girahdelli powder chocolate packets inside the smoothie. Ok maybe it's vegan? She said no there dairy in it. (Like a low %) I said huh. I google if maybe there a chance it was a dark chocolate. Ok I guess that company of chocolate only have a dark chocolate bar that's it. It's unlikely it was dark chocolate chips that's vegan since it's from a powder packet and said said it has dairy in it. Ok tropical smoothie cafe, maybe she was misinformed what vegan is. Still why on your website you only acknowledge vegetarian and gluten free diets but not vegan... Anyways. If your vegan, don't bother your money here if they going to lie or be misinformed or maybe... don't care if you exist... at all. Lol. read more

Such a kind young man at the POS. He made our smoothies so well. The place was impressively clean. Love the smell in here too

October 1, 2025 Stopped to get a smoothie I wanted to taste the apple cinnamon protein smoothie and I'm not gonna lie. It was very good. The girl was very good and she did a great but I was leaving taking it with me in the car. when I went to take a sip of the smoothie it was in a Styrofoam cup that split on the side and needless to say broke open, what a mess. Nothing I could do about it. I wasn't going back as I was driving on I 55. Got home cleaned up the mess. I did not call them. I might call today cause that was like throwing almost $14 out the window but again it was the cup that broke so I would go back but I would absolutely make them double the cup, it's extremely flimsy. Not the fault of the employees. Smoothies are thick and heavy should've been in a plastic cup, which is the companies fault I just wanna make that plain. This was the Cresr Hill store.

#44/2023 Well the tropical smoothie Cafe located here in Lockport. I came here once a few years ago but never did anything on Yelp. I was here though in 2020 I ended up with my very first rotd ever during the covid height. Few things have changed through the times Gone a few of the sandwiches they used to have. I have the summer specials that you should just call them smoothies now they have a fancy name for them non-alcohol mocktails with three different kinds for the summer they have the watermelon mojito the strawberry margarita and the island punch. I came in and I ordered a chicken pesto flatbread sandwich. Basically flatbread Chicken with a mozzarella and Parmesan mixed kind of cheese with tomatoes and the pesto sauce toasted. I went with the combo got some Sun chips harvest cheddar and I tried the watermelon mojito whatever they called it it was a little different than what I remember of a straight watermelon smoothie because it has a few extra ingredients in this one now they put a little strawberry and lime but it was tasty. As for the staff well they're young kids here now. Can see they haven't been working very long at this location or in general you can definitely see they were definitely high schoolers so I'm not going to fault them for not knowing a lot of things as far as the full menu and having to look at myself and figure out what I wanted. All in although it's still a good four star experience and I'll just not change it after over 3 years and keep it like it is. read more

Just brought home our food and didn't check it before we opened it. Wow. This is the second time I've gone there and both times have been a waste of money. Never again. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Lockport, Illinois

This location is getting 3 stars because the smoothie was good. I ordered a wrap. I asked for no pineapples and no lettuce. However, it came overloaded with both. And to make it worse, the lettuce was welted and the wrap tasted disgusting. I forced myself to eat almost half of it because I was starving. The smoothie's ingredients wa blended very well. read more

Employees were so kind. And they are very speedy. Definitely one of the best smoothie places in lockport.

First time coming here. My sister invited me here after coming to Jewel. It's been a while since I've been to a smoothie place. We went through the drive thru and let me tell you that drive thru is a sharp 90 degree turn. The momma Bahama was really delicious. Service was great and friendly. Prices aren't bad read more

Sam was AMAZING!! Helped me and was QUICK! Smoothies were great! Couldn't ask for more.

I've been one of the very first most loyal customers to this business from the beginning the morning workers no longer write your supplements on the side of your smoothie causing a major problems when I bring multiple smoothies to customers/coworkers they are accusing this place of not putting the supplements inside, I asked the worker if it was company policy to write each supplement on the side of the smoothie when purchased she told me NO we no longer do that service and she was too BUSY (10 Am) (no one in the store no one in line) It's the little things Like this adding up that makes me want to walk away from this company. Would Starbucks do this or say this? This has happened multiple times however the afternoon staff ALWAYS writes Each supplement I pay for on the side of the smoothie. What gives?? Are they Lying? Why? read more

Super good, service is always fast and nice. Only problem is food and smoothies are expensive.

I will never eat here ever again. I ordered food the girl who took my order was immediately rude. I asked her name at the window and said she was being very rude and the employee told me "to go kill myself". I'm pregnant and came here for a quick lunch will never recommend this place ever. Can't blame the girl I would hate my life too if I worked at tropical smoothie. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon they weren't too terribly busy but the place was alive and jumping. My son enjoyed the peanut butter banana crunch flatbread sandwich it was so good I ordered him a second one. I purchased a chicken bacon ranch toasted flatbread sandwich for my wife that comes with grilled chicken bacon tomatoes Romain lettuce cheddar cheese and light ranch. They have a deal here will you get any flatbread sandwich and a side for five dollars! Everything is made fresh and prepared in front of you, even though it is made fresh it is delivered to you quickly. This place is great for kids they are very friendly lots of smiles, there's plenty of places to sit and it was very comfortable inside. They truly have something for everyone and the menus are very descriptive and they have pictures of everything and everything looks really good. I enjoyed the Paradise point which has strawberries banana and pineapple and I found that to be quite delicious and a good value for the money. My son enjoyed the peanut butter cup which has peanut butter banana and chocolate and he found it's quite delicious, it reminded me of a Reesie's peanut butter cup only via a straw. Definitely a great place to check out if you're in the area they also have a drive-through, not your typical place check it out read more

Tropical smoothie never lets me down. Always delicious and fresh. My favorite is peanut butter paradise with protein in it. Not to be mistaken for peanut butter cup witch has chocolate in it. (Not for me..too sweet. The chicken jerk burrito with pineapple salsa is outstanding. Definitely a 5 every time. read more

This is probably my new favorite smoothie and quick bite to eat place. Got the flatbread chicken bacon ranch, and OH MY LORD!!! It was soooo good. Looked just like the picture in the menu, and tasted even better than it looked. My co-worker has the bbq chicken flatbread and even that was amazing looking and he loved it. The only downfall is the slightly depressed looking/acting coworkers. And i don't feel exactly welcome, no greeting, asking how i am, etc just how a normal place should be for food service. Other than that the food made way up for the somewhat unsatisfactory greeting. read more

My first time here and I'm happy with my order. I ordered the Sunrise Sunset with no pineapple and it's amazing! They only come in one size which is 24oz. Great prices! read more

Good how do you really mess up a smoothie good customer service last time the floors were a little sticky though four

Love it! The size of their smoothie is huge and always perfect. I'm a frequent flyer of the drive thru. read more

So happy I found this place! I float to different locations for work and first fell in love with the menu at the New Lenox location!! Anywho - Absolutely love this fresh alternative for lunch! I love the Thai chicken wrap .... And their smoothies are phenomenal too! My current favorite is the pomegranate plunge!! Thanks for great staff, excellent service and food! read more

I have not ordered something from here I did not like, wraps are good, smoothies are delicious and service is even better. Beth is sooo hospitable and recommended the cranberry truffle smoothie and you guys I just had to come back the next day to re-order the drink and give her a tip for her recommendation that hit the spot! Thank you Beth! read more

Brightly decorated interior with tables and counter, the counter seating and a larger table has outlet/usb charging ports The dinning room can be a bit loud from the equipment used making the smoothies. There is of course a variety of smoothies on the menu, plus sandwiches and wraps There is also a basic children's menu of smoothies and basic food items to appeal to children. On line ordering and a drive up window is available. No televisions in the dining room read more

I usually go here for lunch when I'm out of snacks! Great little treat if you're trying to watch what eat or stay healthy. Not too expensive. read more

So glad another smoothie place opened back up in this spot in Lockport. Have come multiple times since they opened and everything I have tried is delicious. I would recommend the pomegranate plunge or the blimey limey (I personally add kiwi to the blimey and it's just delicious)! Pricing is super cheap especially for the size you get. Have not yet tried the food but my brother and his girlfriend got lunch here and have only said good things. I will definitely be getting something to eat the next time I stop in! I do love their little reward system, just have to download the app and every $55 you spend you get a $5 credit! Very convenient that they have a drive through also. read more

Great smoothies. Made fresh to order. I wish they offered two different sizes for adults. Their sandwiches look great, but some are pricey. The drive through is nice, but expect to wait a while. The inside is so clean! Great decor. Please do try this cafe. We love coming here. read more

Don't get me wrong me wrong, we all enjoyed our smoothies. They were delicious and loved all the add-on options. However, I'm not quite sure having "smoothie" in the cafe's title when each smoothie we ordered was so full of large ice chunks that we had to individually re-blend each smoothie at home. Sort of defeats the purpose of going out instead of just making our own like usual. The food was just mediocre, so the crunchy smoothies were unfortunate. read more

Wish I could leave zero stars, I went in to order a smoothie and walked out because I was not helped there were two girls working the counter who seemed to be more preoccupied with their friends who were sitting at the counter who were also grabbing things over the counter. than with paying customers. This was very unprofessional plus I didn't get a smoothie because I got tired of waiting. There was only two other people sitting in the store so it's not like it was busy. I will be going somewhere else to get a smoothie. read more

Love this place. We stop wherever we're in the area. Friendly staff. Efficient. Good food. Love the Chia Banana Boost and the hummus bowl. Great for this vegan and her carnivore husband who loves Blimey Limey and Thai chicken wrap. read more

Just had a smoothie there today. I would definitely go back. I got what was called "Paradise Point". Very good.

This was a total joke. I walked in and not a single one of the employees said hi. They were all rude. I waited at the counter 10 minutes to put in an order and ask about the smoothies as I had never been here before. Not one of the employees even made eye contact with me. One of the girls was chit chatting with a couple customers that seemed to be her friends. The one girl in the drive thru window was busy. The last girl walked by and side glanced but then didn't say anything. So how about someone says HELLO or WELCOME to customers when they walk in the door. And maybe be willing to offer assistance? I had to walk out as it was upsetting to be standing there waiting not getting any help. I'll never come back and hope my 1 star review brings down the rating of this place because bad service will put them out of business eventually! Karma will come around. And to top it off it's my birthday and getting even worse than crappy service straight up being ignored is bull. There was 2 older people that had been helped enjoying there smoothies. And no one in the drive thru at this time. And they are still just chatting. I'm outside writing this review to warn others to be prepared to be ignored. read more

I usually love this place and it's normally never disappointed me! However, yesterday this was the only thing i ate in the day (got a sandwhich and smoothie), and i had horrible food poisoning from it! After eating, a few hours later i started getting really nauseous and was throwing up all night! Has definitely scarred me from wanting to come back :( read more

Definitely the best chicken caprese sandwich I've ever had! They also have a drive-thru, so that's awesome.

I love their smoothies. Bahama momma extra strawberries. Made just right. Their chicken Cesar salad wrap is really delicious too.

great smoothie place with many options. peanut butter cup is personably a fave. and it's nice to have especially when you don't have an appetite for anything since most of the smoothies have fruits and other things. and the wait isn't too long unless they're busy then i understand. read more

I haven't had the food yet, but the smoothies are fantastic, there perfectly blended with really nice flavors. It's about 5 bucks per smoothie but they give you like 20 ounces so I guess it's worth it. read more

Been here four times in five days, so yeah, I guess I'm a fan. Staff is super friendly and efficient and the locale is perfect. The smoothies are delicious and perfectly blended - no ice clump at the bottom of your cup. Prices are very competitive and selection is huge (I have yet to have the same thing twice). My five and two year old love it and would rather have this than ice cream - that says a lot. A great healthy alternative for meals and treats in a sea of fast food in the area read more

Yo I literally downloaded yelp just to say how fucking fire your food and smoothies were. First time going , we took the drive through , I shit you not I took longer to order then it took to make the food, and jerk chicken wrap with pineapple salsa ?!?!??! Brilliant. Makes me close my eyes and picture the the cool ocean breeze of a Jamaican beach . keep doing what you're doing , and stay classy read more

Absolutely my favorite smoothies (Island Green) and sandwich (chicken caprese)! The flavors in the sandwich all blend together perfectly! The same goes for the smoothie, which is the perfect size and mix of tastes! This is one of the best places for healthy, hearty foods around! read more

This is the second time I've been to this location and both times my "smoothie" tasted like pure ice with a hint of flavor. The New Lenox location actually knows how to make the smoothies correctly. Considering the smoothies range from $4-7, which I understand isn't outrageous..but you would think they would at least taste decent. Very disappointed. read more

I love this place! Best, healthy smoothies ever! If I find myself not having enough time to get breakfast, I'll come here and get a smoothie. I usually get the banana chia boost with strawberries and no added sugar. It's so delicious and I always find myself craving it often. I'm craving it now to be quite honest. Compared to places like Jamba Juice and other smoothie places, it's decently priced for the amount they give you. Probably $1-$2 cheaper than other smoothie places. read more

I have visited Tropical Smoothie Cafe multiple times and had a good experience with service/drink & food quality. However my last visit was not the greatest. I ordered a drink from the app on my mobile device. When I arrived I was not greeted and my smoothie took well over 10 minutes to make. I tasted my smoothie and it was so chunky that I was chewing chunks of ice. Not happy and could not drink the smoothie. Wont be visiting anytime soon. read more
