    Cracked black pepper in dragonfruit smoothie

    Serving up Spicy Smoothies My educated guess would be someone who was restocking got cracked black pepper mixed with chia seeds. Cause the dragon fruit doesn't taste spicy Subbed the pineapple with blueberries And subbed the lime with kiwi Both kiwi and dragonfruit do have small black seeds but neither give off a pepper taste or smell

    Pickup area

    I ordered online in advance. I arrived at the location and the staff was not very friendly. I mentioned that I had mobile orders, and they were listed as complete in the app. One was finished on the pickup counter but the other was not. I mentioned it and they said it's not ready yet. I stood and waited for 10 mins while they kept making beverages for other customers. They completed orders then acknowledged me again and I asked if I'm ever going to get my order. They looked at my order and the smoothie was sitting behind the counter the whole time. It had not been brought out. I got no apology, just had the smoothie handed to me. It was a bad experience to say the least. The staff didn't seem to have any enjoyment to be there and customers were just looked at when they came in. The location was clean in the lobby but not behind the counter and the ambiance was relaxing. Not a quality experience. Quality: the smoothie was tasty and was made correctly. The quality was as expected.

    I was in the mood for a great smoothie and that's what I got! I really enjoyed the mango magic smoothie. It consisted of mango, pineapple and non-fat yogurt. My mom chose the jetty punch smoothie and she enjoyed it as well. Her smoothie consisted of strawberries and bananas. This location does have a drive thru as well. The inside is clean and has plenty of tables to sit down. There were quite a few people inside. The bathroom was clean. The cashier was nice and helpful. Our smoothies came out quickly! I will be back to try something off the food menu!

    Disappointed the system let me order something out of stock on the mobile app. But the staff was friendly, and made a chia pudding bowl with the toppings I wanted on the acia bowl. The chia pudding bowl was so delicious. And I definitely would have it again.

    I am a frequent TSC customer in various locations. I love writing reviews (I don't like to leave negative ones) and I'm heart broken to say that this Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the WORST location that I have ever visited. I got a green dream bowl and there was a piece of RUBBER in the bowl... yes, RUBBER. It was the first bite and I literally chewed it and am so thankful that I didn't eat it. I love the green dream bowl, but lost my appetite after that first bite. I was on a road trip and they said that the only way I could get a refund/new bowl is if I returned to the store. So I drove out of my way back to the location like an hour later to only be told that I couldn't get both a refund/return. That was confusing and miscommunication as I thought that's what the solution was. I went out of my way for a mistake, which I tried to be nice about to only leave with a customer service experience that left me disappointed... I work customer service as well and I really try to be kind-spoken... but this experience could've been made better but was left feeling dissatisfied. I wish there was clearer communication and more attentiveness towards resolving a situation like this... I love TSC and I understand that mistakes happen, but this was a bad experience.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe (TSC) has been blazing a trail around the Low Country lately! They opened this location in Pooler and most recently in Savannah on Abercorn in the same year! I first discovered TSC when we lived in Virginia Beach many moons ago and liked their healthy offerings among the many chain restaurants. We like to visit a TSC location while we're traveling especially, because the choices of road trip eats is really limited, not very enticing and generally not very healthy! We recently visited this location at the drive thru for a quick boost just before heading over to Tanger for a morning of shopping. - Parking - Center lot. It is located on the small strip of businesses just before you enter the Tanger Outlets on Tanger Outlets Blvd. I believe it's still considered a part of the Tanger Outlets. It's the business on the end and it has a Drive thru! - Vibe - They've definitely gotten a face lift in the past year or so. Not sure how long ago, because we've only been back on the mainland for about 1 1/2 years now, but it's bright, colorful, fun and fresh looking. Exactly what a smoothie shop should look like! - TLC - The lady who took our order and took care of us at the window was very nice. - Sips & Noms - My husband ordered the Peanut Butter Cup with a shot of Whey protein and I ordered the Island Green. His smoothie tasted as usual, but mine just tasted bland. Maybe too much ice and not enough ingredients? I've enjoyed it in the past, but maybe the smoothie maker didn't measure the ingredients properly that day? I would have definitely asked for a new one had we dined in, but we had already made it over to the main Tanger Outlets complex and didn't feel like lopping back. Eh, it hapens. Smoothies are one size at 24 oz, priced at $5.19. Supplements are at an additional cost obviously. The Whey was $0.99. They also have a pretty decent selection of eats that range from salads, sandwiches, wraps and quesadillas. In the past, we've had a variety of things to eat and all have been great. - Kiddos - Kids smoothies are 12 oz at $2.99. My kids love smoothies so they slurped it right up! TSC is definitely a great addition to Pooler and in that area specifically. A lot of people are traveling up and down I-95 and if I was a hungry traveler, I would definitely consider stopping here before some of the other spots, for a quick, healthy bite before hitting the road again!

    I an ecstatic to have one of my favorite food spots finally here in town. I have searched since moving from Florida and the closest was in Jacksonville but today was the grand opening of a new one in Pooler! Being one of the first 50 winners to get smoothies for a year is the highlight of my day today! Make sure to get down and try the awesome natural smoothies of Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Every bit of flavor is experienced in their drinks and the wraps are made to devour cause you won't want to miss a bite. Whether its to detox or workout meals TSC has the perfect blend for you. Plenty of island flavors also to choose from, you'll for sure make this a top spot. Welcome to Pooler TSC

    It should not take 14 mins to make 2 smoothies. We were the only car in the drive thru and only 1 customer in the cafe. The server Sequoiya acted like she did not care to be at work. When handing us our smoothies she just said "here you go". Horrible customer service especially when we had to wait so long with no apparent reason. Once we got our smoothies there was no taste at all. I order the same smoothie every time and this was by far the worst.

    Bad apples and bananas
    Angelynn J.

    This is probably the worst Tropical Smoothie I have ever been to. The server Jessica was rude and the food is taking forever to be ready. The bananas and apples were very bad. We ordered a sandwich and a salad; 20 mins later we got two sandwiches. They offered to make the salad but we didn't want to wait another 20 mins to eat so we jus took it. That was the longest wait ever for a tropical smoothie. This is the worst tropical smoothie I have ever been to. I will never come back to this Tropical Smoothie. I'm very disappointed.

I first visited a franchise location in…read morethis chain a couple of years ago in Northwest Arkansas, and found it to be serviceable, but not anything memorable. However, fast-forward a couple of years later and a couple of relocations later and now I have expanded my view of 7. First of all, my in-laws were in town and we were headed out for a day of touring the city of Savannah. Before we left, they wanted to get something specifically from seven brew because my stepfather in law is a diabetic and specifically frequent seven brews back in Kansas City because they serve sugar-free drinks. Go figure. For someone who doesn't have to observe that type of dietary restriction, but who does have friends and family who are diabetic, that felt like a fact I needed to know. So I could totally appreciate his need to specifically go here. And so we headed over on a Saturday morning. Now let me tell you, if you are coming to this location during any sort of peak traffic time, I would assume the line is going to be wrapped around the building because this location seemingly does not enjoy any downtime. Both lanes were full all the way through the parking lot and spilling into the CVS parking lot next-door. While we didn't quite realize that you could walk up and order after parking until after we had gotten in line, I would definitely recommend that option for anybody who has the time and the ability to do it. And while the line did move somewhat decently, it still took us about 15 minutes start to finish to get in line, place our order and pick it up and pull out of the parking lot. But that being said, everybody in the car enjoyed their drinks. Which surprisingly, did not feature coffee. Everybody either ordered one of their energy drinks or sugar-free drinks. So there it is. Seven brew is a nice alternative to your local sonic and smoothie king, which are both up the street. If finding alternative coffee drinks at a coffee spot alongside of sugar-free drinks is your thing, I would definitely recommend them!

But we did not let that deter us and we went in and used the electronic device to get us on a waiting list. We were told 15 minutes, but we waited no more than 10. I am going to take into consideration the massive crowd, and say that our food and drink came in very reasonable time considering. We were not in a hurry, and kind of enjoy the bustle and the people. Our waitress was exceedingly friendly, very helpful and very accommodating. My friend and I each got a fancy Sunday brunch cocktail. Mine was strawberry, and it was delicious. She loved hers as well, she got the grapefruit one. They were lovely to look at and delicious and refreshing. A very fun way to start our Sunday morning. We both ordered the California club sandwich and I asked for gluten-free bread. The sandwich was delicious and the gluten-free bread was good. If you know about gluten-free bread and the heartache of searching for a decent slice, then you'll appreciate this bread on your sandwich. I got french fries which seems I have to order every single time even as I contemplate the healthier side choices. They were great, hot, fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My friend got a side salad which she was happy with, obviously far more willpower than I have. She was not happy with the dressing she had chosen and the waitress happily brought her a different one. While we were there, I noticed everybody was working so hard and the customers all around us seem to be very much enjoying themselves. I don't know if this should really be relevant in my review but there was a group of four people who were sat down in a table nearby who upon being seated asked the waitress immediately if they could get their food quickly and she told them that it probably would not be as fast as they would like it. At which point they got up and left. The waitress seemed to feel bad about that, but when the manager came over to investigate, he simply took it in stride and then started to clean the table off for the next group. My friend and I had to wonder who would come into such a bustling and packed restaurant and think that they were going to get served especially fast. Another thing about we noticed about the manager is that he seemed very much hands-on and all over the place in the restaurant. He was very friendly when we looked at the check-in device and wondered what we were doing ~ he made jokes that made us feel less Luddite like. He bussed tables and sat people, and checked on things, and generally looked like the kind of manager of that Gordon Ramsay would appreciate. The menu has something for everybody! And some very exciting options that we have to go back and experience. Lots of add-ons for everything, a huge variety of choices. My sister-in-law had recommended the avocado toast, and I was tempted. I was also tempted by the biscuit and gravy and the eggs Benedict, which are hard for me to resist at brunch. but I reasonably only ordered one meal for me. It's been a long review, but I have to say the meal really was that good and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Not only will I be going back but, I will be recommending it, wholeheartedly, to everybody. Thanks for a great meal!

From being greeted to our delightfully cheery & attentive waitress, the service is stellar. Plenty of booths and tables, there are different rooms throughout the place. Plenty of Breakfast & lunch options. Amazing coffee, but no real cream. You get the little international delight containers. I am not a fan. I like it in little pitcher to pour in. Food came fast! I only gave 4 stars because it was clear my sides got plated long before my eggs. Eggs were piping hot. My hashbrown casserole was barely warm. I didn't say anything because we were in rush to hit the road for a long ride home, but they were delicious. I wish i could remember our server's name, because she was pure sunshine & gushing with southern charm. Place is great. Strong choice for breakfast.
