Mixed berry Greek yogurt
Valeria A.

Small spot to have a study session. Clean area. a refreshing lunch, I have only tried the bowls & they have been well made every time!

Detox Island Green Smoothie
Tiffany J.

I kept seeing Tropical Smoothie Café all over Yelp and had no idea it was a chain establishment. This whole time, I thought it was some small local spot in Pearland. Once I realized that this place is everywhere, I figured I need to hurry up and try it already. I ordered the wrap and smoothie combo online. I received confirmation that it would be ready in about 15 minutes. When I got there, I was greeted immediately by a nice employee. They have a cubby area for to go orders and my order was ready. I was in the store for less than a minute, but as I grabbed my food and headed to the door, another nice employee said bye. Something as small as saying hi and bye really left a good impression. Also, they had some great music playing and I wouldn't have been mad if my order wasn't ready so I could enjoy the music haha. Supergreen Caesar Chicken Wrap - I was expecting the wrap to be served cold for some reason, but it was warm and it was delicious. It was a tad salty, but the flavors were good. The tortilla was toasted nicely and I liked the Parmesan crisps. It had a good amount of Caesar dressing. Kale and Apple Slaw - This was okay. It had a bit too much dressing for my preference. I liked the contrast of sweet and tart flavors. Detox Island Green Smoothie - This was good, but it was heavy on the banana. If I were to order this again, I would 86 the banana. It's not as good as the Ginger n Greens smoothie at Jamba, but it was decent. You can modify ingredients like the type of sugar (the standard is turbinado) or do add ins or supplements for a fee. My order totaled $13 even which isn't too bad. I wish there was a way to add tip on the order form (if there is, then I missed it). I'm a sucker for a good sandwich so I suspect I'll be visiting Tropical Smoothie Café more often.

Smoothies are great and I believe this is a black-owned franchise, so I'm happy to support! However, I must say the customer service is shit. Please train your employees to speak and greet guests, to have enthusiasm when speaking, and to not just stare and expect me to start talking. That really ruined my experience, however, I will be back because the smoothies are good. I came September 23, 2023 around 12 PM noon and one of the workers (slimmer Black woman with cap and moles) was very cold and rude. I don't know if she wasn't having a good day, but we all have bad days. I try to be empathetic, but again.. fake it until you make it or call off if you're not in a mentally sane mood for your service job that day. Just my opinion. Overall, please don't let one employee deter you from these delicious smoothies and supporting a black owned business!

DETOX ISLAND GREEN with Pea Protein my fav!
Mahwish S.

I love the fresh ingredients they use. I feel they use more natural fruit in their smoothies instead of fruit juices. My favorite is the Island Green smoothie. I fluctuate between the regular one and the detox version that has ginger. I've also tried and loved the Avocolada green smoothie and the chia banana boost that is sweetened with dates! I have their app which I order ahead and pick it up. The app also gives you rewards for a free smoothie. The more you visit the more rewards.

Here for National Flip Flop Day!! Didn't know they had a location in Pearland! I used to always go to the one in a Westchase. Love everything about them. The food, the smoothies. Always fresh. Super clean. Always friendly smiles from the staff. They're so nice!

Stopped by after my morning walk to get a smoothie but ended up getting the yogurt bowl. When I say GOOD...I mean it was slap ya mama good!!! The fruit was fresh and the granola was a good blend. The almonds added e nice crunch. The service was very pleasant and friendly. Check 'em out y'all!!

French bakeries, in general, make me throw all diet caution into air and go crazy with food-  but, not this particular Paris Baguette- not my favorite Variety is great, no doubt. Staff is super sweet and friendly.No problem there either.  The food itself:   For example- I bought the garlic croissant excited that it would be savory and interesting, but it came with a sugar coating ! No... Then the simple bread and butter, soft and all, but that also has a sweet tinge...I got the NY cheese cake, found it too hard.., a cake, I forgot which one , it was dry....So... I love to go here, because I can avoid going crazy..... ha ha..... I am fond of their soufflé cheesecake and the rainbow cake- haven't had any trouble with those yet.  Today I tried their berry croffle, melt in the mouth, light sweet, just right !Also, would like to try their baguettes, I reallyy hope those don't have sugar tinge in them.  Keep savory as savory and sweet and sweet, separate, why make all savory sweet too !  The color of the chairs sets the French tone. They have a vast selection and there is so much I am yet to try.  Its pretty popular in the area so am sure I will be brought back by others,  like a place to meet for coffee or something....

We tried the roast beef and cheddar sub ($17) and spicy Italian #7 ($15), both in the giant size to…read moreshare. They were good but didn't wow me. I thought they were both a little dry and needed more sauce even though I'd already added extra while ordering. The roast beef in particular needed more of the horseradish sauce as it was a bit dry, and there weren't enough of the fried onions. The spicy Italian was a little better, with a bit more dressing on the lettuce on the edges of the sandwich. The bread was simple, nothing fancy, but good toasted. They put a decent amount of meat on the subs. The veggies tasted fresh. The sandwiches came out in a reasonable time. There were a few people who came in for pick up as well, as you can order online if you're really in a hurry. They're in a small plaza, and parking was easy. The employees were friendly. It's a very casual place. There's a good amount of tables inside to enjoy your sandwiches if you want, and it was mostly empty with a quiet ambiance aside from people getting take out when I was there.

Finally another worker walked in and said we're not open. I said why didn't the other person say something and he just shook his head. Edgar who was working shrugged his shoulders. I went inside and placed my order. I asked for easy mayo and mustard, especially since they tend to be heavy handed. I saw one worker putting too much mayo in my sandwich and I told him thats a little too much and asked if he could take some off. He did, but he seemed bothered. When I got my sandwich, there was no mustard, so I told them and presented my sandwich back to them. I was frustrated because this seems intentional or at least careless. Edgar says it was his fault, then proceeds to tell me that they are really busy, as if I wasn't also being served, as if I was asking for something extra. He argues back and forth with me, apologizing while making excuses, the whole time being rude. I had to beg him to fix the sandwich, he asked me if I want a mustard packet, I said can you just put the mustard on the sandwich? He finally does it and gives my sandwich back to me in a hap hazard way, crumpling the paper instead of wrapping it back nicely. I asked if he could wrap my sandwich like normal, he acted like I was asking for the world. He finally did it and asked if I wanted a bag, I said yes, then he slung the sandwich at me rudely. I did not accept it...and I told him not to give it to me like that. I told him you dont throw things at me I don't throw things at you. He did this in front of others and there were several people. This was extremely rude and unprofessional. The staff member's name was Edgar. I d been going there for years. I will never be back!

I love Schlotzskys, and I was so excited to see one close since they aren't around where I live…read more Unfortunately this store was a total let down. Not a single thing was right in the order. We ordered two meals (admittedly it was on door dash)- but both sandwiches were soggy and cold. Both were missing the pickle spears. Probably the fault of delivery time on the sogginess, But disappointing all the same. The salads were both wrong. Missing ingredients and the wrong dressing on one, the entirely wrong salad for the other. And both drinks were entirely missing. I did receive a partial refund for the missing items, but still felt what I received was not worth what I paid for even after that.

Wednesdays are Buy One Get One free (BOGO) pizza day. A good deal especially if you eat on it over a few days or freeze some for later. Each pizza comes with 6 slices. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Schlotzsky's pizza is really good. The dough, the fresh toppings, the cheesiness. All on point. I've had the pizza twice. Ordered via mobile app and picked up in the drive thru. Both times the food was fresh out of the oven and the customer service swift, courteous and professional. Shout out to the hardworking young man in the drive thru line! During my last visit he seemed to be there alone. If so kudos to him for also making me some delicious pizzas, that I'm still eating on days later and that still tastes just as good.

The app shows you previous orders which makes it easy to select quickly what you ordered before, if that's what you want. I can also use Apple Pay through the app. Once ordered, I typically am given a pickup time which is about 20 minutes. When I pick it up at the counter inside, it's always ready and there's no wait. A great user experience. I always order the Smokey Jack Panini (pic attached). It comes with nitrate free smoked turkey (the main reason I get it), bacon, pepper Jack cheese, Roma tomatoes, and guacamole on sour dough bread. It also comes with thousand island dressing but I leave that off. The app allows you to easily delete or add items to your sandwich. The sandwich is served warm, as it is put on a panini press. I generally really like this sandwich. Ordering through the app is a quick and easy way to order something relatively healthy and decent tasting, especially when you're on the move. My constructive feedback for this restaurant is the need for quality consistency. Sometimes the sandwich is better than other times, but is overall generally good.

We have been to this Jason's Deli at least a dozen times now but unfortunately, the last few times…read morehave been disappointing. First off, we feel like this location needs a bit of a deep cleaning and/or renovation. My husband and I were joking about the "sketchiness of the cleanliness" as we were pulling it. Joking they "toe the line" of "should we eat here or not?" Secondly, I ALWAYS get the salad bar. Always. The items haven't been fresh here. The biggest culprit has been the artichokes. I usually put a big ol' mound on my salad. The last 2x they have been FIZZY... which lends me to believe they are topping off old items with fresh items and it's never getting changed out/is old/fermenting. This particular visit, in addition to the fizzy artichokes, the sliced red bell pepper tasted off and the romaine lettuce was brown. (Sigh). I hope my salad stays down. My husband enjoyed his New York Yankee and luckily, this visit they correctly subbed his chips for "steamed veggies" like he asked. Last visit he asked for "steamed broccoli" and unknowingly the guy rang him up for a cup of broccoli cheese soup for an additional $5... we never went back up to get our money back and my husband didn't eat the soup. The kids always enjoy their meals: usually cheese pizza or pasta with meatballs and marinara. Then they gobble up ungodly amounts of the free ice cream. Today's visit, for whatever reason, the ice cream was extra "soupy" and so runny it couldn't even be put on a cone. The highlight was the girl at the register was friendly. It's getting to be hard to want to come back to this location. Might have to only treat ourselves to Jason's when we're out in Webster.

I have been looking for same white mocha and had yet to find it in over 10 years! Then Hando popped up across from my brother in-laws place. I was in absolute heaven when I tried their white mocha cookie frap. I require one everytime I visit manvel/Pearland. Staff has been so nice. No complaints here. There is a drive through where you do order and pay at the window. Hubs is a fan of their cold brew and lattes. I would say decently strong coffee. Havent tried their food options as i just run of coffee. I appreciate the hours of operations opening early enough so we can swing by to pick up coffee on the way to work!

I went through the drive thru since I had my dog with me. They do have plenty of parking tho. The drive thru was very convenient. The artwork along the drive thru menu is nice. It adds a great personalized and distinguishable touch to their establishment. The menu has tons of yummy unique sounding concoctions. Since I'm back to lowering my A1C like I'm on a GLP1 commercial, after totally wildin' and eating whatever the heck I wanted over the holidays, I just stuck with my usual Americano with a heavy cream splash and SF Vanilla. It was tasty and didnt taste at all watered down which is always my fear with ordering an Americano at a place new to me. The service was cool. I've got this place starred as a reliable Americano spot and look forward to supporting this exceptional black-owned business again!
