On Monday I went into the Cafe and I was pleasantly welcomed by an Employee who would go on to take my order. His name was Justin and he helped me order a smoothie. I went on to buy a Bahama Mama which was a recommendation by Justin. The smoothie was done quickly and tasted really good. He also mentioned a survey at the bottom of the receipt for a $1.99 smoothie which I appreciated because most of the time I just throw out the receipt. Overall he made my visit at the Cafe over the top. read more

I see that there are different types of bad comments but I really think that all the guys who work at tropical smoothie cafe try to do their best because sometimes it can be difficult, sometimes many do not understand that. In my experience being there they have always been respectful and coordinated, they recommend new smoothies and they are really very good. good job they keep improving read more

The staff was very accommodating and the service was quick. They allowed me to order a custom smoothie despite there not being an option on menu. I had a smoothie with carrots, apples, pomegrante, ginger, and lime. The smoothie was about $6.50 for a large cup. read more

Complete and utterly disrepespeted before I even got to step foot inside an employee was giving me an attitude because I asked a question. Sorry I'm supposed to know all the answers and your mad sitting in a shake costume. read more

Horrible service & horrible smoothie. One smoothie taste like water the other powder & artificial sugar. Instead of staff trying to make it better you rather whisper to each other. Be mindful of how you treat your customers never know who I am could be a secret shopper rating on performance. These 2 would have definitely failed & need a customer service class. I'm entitled to return something if I don't like it. I wasn't loud nor rude when requesting a refund I actually whispered so other customers wouldn't hear. These 2 young ladies still went and had side talk and kept looking back at me. I will never come to the establishment again because of these two. Very uncomfortable read more

First time and last time here. Being the first time.. I got a smoothie and a flatbread. As I was ordering I had two people speaking to me at the same time. And the person making all the food kept cutting me off and not let finish my question. The cashier was very nice. The girl making my chipotle chicken club did not give me what I ordered. No pepper jack cheese and ranch dressing instead of chipotle mayo. Sandwich was cold as well as her attitude. I watched her throw a bag a chips at some other patrons sitting at counter. I saw their reaction. Wasn't good. All I have to say is if you don't like your job quit! I know everybody has bad days but this one likes to take it out on her fellow employees and paying customers. read more

We love this place. Service is friendly and warm. They help you figure out which coupon gives you your best deal and the food is exceptional too-new sandwiches are great-salads were always good and smoothies are tasty too. It's a great little place that feels really comfortable to walk into. read more

Smoothies are good service is not...am there a lot probably about 3-5 times a week because i do like the smoothies. Just very frustrating when they are busy and their employees can not handle it. Ive waited 5-10 minutes at the counter clearly waiting to order and just see 2-4 employees continuously taking care of online orders and not caring about who is in store. In my opinion in store customers should be prioritized. I think they need to reserve one employee to just take care of in store orders because at times it is ridiculous. read more

I've had tropical smoothie cafe plenty of times here and in other locations, some in FL that's where I grew up. This doesn't necessarily apply to just the Merrick location, and granted I'm looking on Uber eats but I can't help but say my god have prices gotten outrageous. Even in the age of this hyper inflation, $9.49 for a smoothie? Prices are already higher on Uber eats/door dash menus so restaurants can make up for having to pay these companies to use their services. But seriously. $10 for a smoothie and $10 for a subpar wrap is insane. The food is not that good, it's literally microwaved and portions are small. By the time it gets to my door with fees and tip it's pretty much $30. Some might say that's the age we're living in but I'm just here to say it's simply not worth it and I'd love to have a conversation with someone who thinks it is. I also remember when you used to get a deal with smoothies and a sand which or wrap but nope, they took that away so they can continue to make more $$$ read more

I Ordered smoothies for my boyfriend and I like I always do , This time his smoothie literally tasted like someone poured the dirty water from the blender into a cup and just put a lid on it . It did NOT taste like a peanut butter cup smoothie. This was such a disappointment . read more

Ordered via Grubhub - a smoothie and a chicken quesadilla, the bag the was left at my door had a greasy box and a straw. No smoothie. I called the store and was told "oh well I gave the drink to the driver". Plus the quesadilla had no chicken, just some cold dry cheese. read more

I came at 2 Pm on a Thursday, there were about 3-4 other people already waiting for food/smoothies. My smoothie came out in about 5 minutes, my food (a wrap) on the other hand took 30 minutes, No joke. I waited for about 15-20 minutes after ordering and finally said something about the wait. The staff served about 4-5 people first & I ended up waiting for another 10-15 minutes...I finished my smoothie by the time my food was done. When I got my food, the plastic bag was soaked and the food looked like it was slapped together. Terrible customer service & all around bad experience. read more

I usually go to the one in Levittown but today I went to merrick never again. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich my usual well this location gave me a lettuce and tomato sandwich...I went back to the store and was pissed 9 bucks with no meat....I took my sandwich back and went to Panera...do not go to this location. I warned you. read more

The first tine I tried this place the guy who took my order wasn't paying attention and he sent me home with an apple as a side when I had ordered an orange, Next time I thought I'd try their recommended combo. I don't know why they call it a watermelon mojito because all I tasted is the strawberries. And the bbq chicken flat bread said it contained pulled chicken, cole slaw, cheddar cheese and sweet bbq sauce. That's it, They didn't mention anything about the hot peppers they threw in there and that burned up my mouth. Sheesh. Sorry, I gave you two chances. Don't think I'll go back. read more

Though tropical smoothie is amazing, this one is terrible. We typically order tropical smoothie to get picked up by ourselves or through ubereats. The drinks are NEVER labeled which has been a huge issue. The peanut paradise is never fully blended and we always have chunks of peanut butter found at the bottom. Truly disappointing, as this is the closest one to our school and staff often like to order from here but no longer will. read more

First time here, it's a typical smoothie spot, clean, that was a plus!!! nothing really didn't wow me, I ordered the watermelon mojito smoothie it was pretty good. read more

First time here. I live one town over. The girls attitude SUCKED. It wasn't busy at all and i waited about 8 minutes before someone acknowledged my presence. I was the only one on line... one girl was clocking out and she was holding up the register for the others to take my order. The smoothie was sub-par. Very watered down. Hence why i should make my smoothies at home read more

I honestly love this place I can go in everyday and order a smoothie best place . The smoothies and sandwiches and really constantly crave them. Nice cute store the employees are really nice and always seem happy to help also answer any questions that you may have from the menu . I recommend this place to all my friends and family and they love it too read more

I love this place. The food is great the place is clean and Peter is so nice. My fab smoothie is the kiwi quencher. The Baja wrap is amazing. I can't wait to try the jerk. read more

I came here to get a smoothie one afternoon. I waited about 30 minutes to get just a smoothie, it was very frustrating. They only had two people working and they were both working continuously the entire time I was there. They were clearly short staffed and customers were waiting ridiculous amounts of time waiting for their orders. I felt bad for the workers and even though they made a great smoothie I would not come back here. read more

Just wondering if the staff is capable of reading? Every online orders instructions were ignored or messed up at least 5 times ive ordered from this location. Smoothies are great but clearly the staff has some trouble reading at a first grade level or choose to ignore instructions. Seriously frustrating. read more

I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe, I tried this location and it wasn't the exception, I ordered online, it took me 7 min driving there and my smoothie was already in the pick ups fridge. I also noticed they have a sign with a promotion of 3.99 smoothies before 10 am which I think it's fabulous. read more

Amazing, fresh, very friendly staff. I'm glad I came and tried it. They have different selections and you can tell that they put their time into making things here. Love it read more

The detox smoothie is so refreshing and tasty. I was concerned about no sweetener but it is fantastic

Smoothie was good, made quickly, and so refreshing, also good advice and engagement from staff. My cousin loves her smoothie as well.

I will not be patronizing this location again. Within a few days of each other my husband and I both had horrible service experiences.

I'm a fan of Tropical Smoothie in general but this location is ridiculous. They seem short staffed and overwhelmed all the time. They REALLY need more people working the counter and the orders. Also, this location is always out of a certain product, whether it be almonds, turkey or bananas. BANANAS! That's the main ingredient in almost all the smoothies. How do you not have bananas?! They really need to get their act together. Other than that the service has always been good and I save myself a lot of headaches by ordering online. read more

I use to love this place. Tonight, I experienced the absolute worst customer service. We walk in and we're the only customers. They look at us like we have ten heads and don't say a word until we order. About ten minutes goes by, more customers come in and they give our food to the wrong people. These people open up the sandwich are picking at it, trying to see if it's the right one. We go up to the counter asking if ours will be ready soon because we saw others getting there order. The people realize that they got ours by mistake, roll it back up and give it back to the girl. The girl behind the counter then takes it without even looking and hands it to me without saying anything. This is how viruses spread. I told her I do not want that after someone else touched it! She offered 0 apology, took it back with an attitude and continued helping someone else. This is extremely unsanitary and unprofessional. Why would I want food that I just saw a stranger open and touch?! Especially with the corona virus being a concern for New York, you would think people would take better caution. We got our order another ten minutes later and again, not one apology for the wait or for the mistake on their part. We won't be returning to this location. read more

The staff is beyond rude here I stood at the register and waited 5 minutes before some one even acknowledged my presence. Then when given my smoothie I tasted it and it didn't taste like what I ordered so I said something and the girl behind the counter goes "trust me I made it it's what your ordered" so beyond rude never coming back here again read more

Every time I come in here, everybody has an attitude like it's a bother to assist the customer in front of them. 0/10 for service.

I have been to several Tropical Smoothie locations before and I have always had a great experience...that is why I was completely surprised that in the Merrick location, it was not the same. The staff is completely RUDE! The first time I went, my order was wrong. When I brought it to their attention, the girl rolled her eyes. I am understanding to the fact that mistakes can happen, so I gave them a second try. Upon walking in, I was not greeted, I had to ask if I could place an order and again, the attitude from the staff was horrendous! Will NEVER go back to the Merrick location again! read more

I love most of the Tropical Smoothie branches, but my visit to the Merrick location was awful. There were three employees working who did nothing but talk to each other and I was ignored for a good 5 minutes before they even took my order (there was no one else on line and only one other person waiting for their order). I waited for about 20 minutes to get my smoothie and sandwich and the employees couldn't seem to care less. When I finally got handed my order the employee didn't even look at me and just kept talking to the other employees. Would not recommend. read more

Laura J...how do we contact you directly about issues at this location...quite disappointed

Last time I came to this location I ordered my food and drink paid for it I got my smoothie right away but while waiting for my sandwich the whole time I drank my whole smoothie cause they took so long to give me my sandwich the service is very poor it seems to me like they need more help the guy seem like he had completely forgot to make my sandwich until I said something to him then that's when I finally got my food read more

Their smoothies are excellent. Sarah who works there is fabulous. She always gets my order right. The only reason that I didn't give he rating 5 stars is because the menu could be a little more varied. read more

I always enjoy a trip to Tropical Smoothie, and I was excited to see a new location I wasn't aware of. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad with no tomatoes and a Mocha Madness smoothie. The salad was great! The lettuce was crisp and the chicken was warm! The cheese was nice and moist and the Caesar dressing was very flavorful. The smoothie was very good as well! On an unrelated note, the girl who made and brought out my order was super cute. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Merrick, New York

This is one of the best smoothie places. My friends and I go here all the time and we are absolutely obsessed it's so delicious. The staff is always nice and helpful and the line normally goes quick read more

I went there few times and I always liked it. This place is affordable and smoothies are delicious. They are a little short on staff, but employees are very nice and helpful. I would totally recommend it for summer afternoon with friends. The reason I do not give this place five stars is becuase some of their sandwiches have toooooo much sauce on them making them inedible. But overall the drinks are amazing. read more

The actual smoothies and food are fine, but i had a very unpleasant experience. The lovely woman who took my order was being yelled at by a horrible old Spanish woman with orange hair. She was shouting at the sweet girl "STOP HELPING ME" over and over. It was extremely uncomfortable to witness. She shouldn't be allowed to speak to the other employees this way. It was disgusting. read more

I've never written a review before but figured that this needed one . A few months ago I came in to purchase a smoothie and I asked for a specific supplement in my smoothie & a young lady at the register did not know how to put it into the system because she was new so she called over her store manager Wendy . She then continued to ask her how to put it in the system . Wendy responded in a most sarcastic and unprofessional way she began to question her employee infront of me asking "right my employees don't put that in smoothies?" The young lady then proceeded to say no and Wendy turned to me and said MMYYY employees don't do that at MYY store in the most disrespectful way . After this incident I decided to give them a second chance but this place is getting worse and worse every time . When I walk in I see people standing around looking clueless and not willing to attend anyone . It looks like there is no management at all or supervision going on, they need to get trained all over again specially the store manager so she can be a better example to HER employees. read more
