    I come here often and enjoy the food. I always get the Caribbean jerk chicken wrap with the detox island green smoothie. I do always ask for no cheese on my wrap which if I order on the app, they don't always do. Yesterday my smoothie was not blended and did not taste right which was a bummer. Normally they are much better.

    This is a good place for a quick meal on the go. They have a wide variety of acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and salads that are usually prepared fresh and ready to eat within 10 minutes. I ordered the Bahama Mama bowl and loved the base and topping combo, however, the portion was very small for how much the product cost. My friend ordered the Detox Island Green smoothie, and it wasn't blended well; there were chunks of ice and unblended greens when she opened the lid to see. The person who took our order was not pleasant to interact with, but the person who gave us our food was kind. The restaurant was clean and well-kept.

    During happy hour the smoothies are half off!!! Happy hour is min to Thurs 3-5 pm The service was great!! The smoothie was great. Loved it. Had no sugar added and I was perfect. The peanut paradise was also great and delicious. Fast service!! Walked in and within 5 min had our drink

    All good stuff and good for you. This is great to grab a quick meal and a pick me up in the evening almost like eating dessert for dinner tons of locations in and around Phoenix to choose from some big some small just depends on the location the one in Scottsdale is nice

    I admittedly hold grudge as Tropical Smoothie Cafe occupies the space formerly used by Qdoba. It is a solid replacement. It met my expectations , similar to Jamba and other fast causal smoothie concepts. I tried the Island Punch Smoothie. It was good but could have used a little kick- tajin maybe?

    Happy hour prices (Monday to Thursday 3pm to 5pm) are amazing. Got my tall smoothie for less than $5. The peanut paradise is delicious. They also made my drink quick.

    Came at 7:20AM on a Thursday and they were closed. Sign says they open at 7. I guess they are more of an afternoon smoothie shop.

    I'd like to update my review with more accuracy. I'm giving 5 stars to Robert specifically. When Robert is not working and not presently there, this location needs extra help with management. Being someone in hospitality myself I have a good idea on what to expect as an employee communicating and interacting with a customer. The place is empty with no sense of urgency in making anything. Smoothies that should take 2-3 minutes being made in 5-10 when no customers are present, food taking even longer. The management team when Robert is not at work is not professional. The pace is very slow and it feels like they genuinely don't want to be here. One person cannot carry the work load forever. Some of the other managers are teenagers with no care in the world, understandably so. it's still a business and needs to be conducted as such.

    I came here on a weekday morning around 730. I didn't realize until I arrived that it was a drive…read morethru kind of spot, although it looks like they also have a dining room and outdoor seating. I didn't really notice any good place to park, so I did the drive thru. Lots of menus to look at while you wait to order at the window. Since it was my first time, it was a bit overwhelming, as there was quite the selection of food and drink items to choose from. When I got to the window, the nice person working answered all the questions I had about some the smoothie and protein drinks they offered. I decided to order a pomegranate green tea, recommended by the service person. It was surprisingly good. I would recommend that and order again. There are multiple locations around the valley which is convenient. I would definitely stop by here again in the future to try some food or a different drink.

    Nearly 10 years later and I'm still stopping by d'Lite. I'll admit, there was a time I had to take…read morea break because I was living off Humanitarian Wraps and 40oz smoothies (basically a lifestyle) Smoothies & Drinks The OG d'Breakfast Buzz smoothie has been around since the beginning.... then came a vegan version and I was all in. My system can't handle espresso anymore (sign me out), but that's basically what the Protein Shake is, Buzz without the buzz. These days I just pick whichever smoothie sounds right in the moment, and it's always good. Cactus iced tea is my favorite, though green tea has been a nice switch... until caffeine reality sets in. JT's Kombucha (maybe)? A solid option. Any juice works. Haven't tried the Italian soda.... didn't even realize it was there until now. Food Favorites Bowls & Wraps: d'Vegan Bowl or Humanitarian Veg Supreme are my staples. I actually prefer the mushroom broth in the other bowl, but both deliver. Southwest Bowl? Yes, but hold the bock-bock (chicken for those not fluent in chicken noises). Burritos: Veggie Burro or Vegan Burro are my go tos now. Back in my meats days, the AZ Burro hit the spot. Breakfasts: Oatmeal Their Way is always a win but may change seasonally. Low Carb Breakfast? Exactly what it says it is. Croissantwich = buttery, flaky goodness. Avocado toast taught me I like Everything seasoning. Other bites: Hummus is solid. Bagels only ever tried sliced with the bowls, never the bialys. Haven't had the egg & cheese either. Sandwiches & Salads Chicken Pesto, so flipping good with mushrooms and tomato on sourdough... "Soft" is the only way I can find to describe. Turkey Club and BLTA? Haven't tried, but man the BLTA sounds like trouble (in the best way). Salads: Kitchen Sink is my pick. Nuts & Berries is good, but candied walnuts sneak up on me the same way dried cranberries do... both taste good, just not my thing. Greens & Protein I haven't had yet. Broccoli side is always a safe bet, if I am looking for a side. After almost a decade (at least), they've nailed something special. Whether I go vegan, not-so-vegan, or just "whatever sounds good today," d'Lite is consistently d'Lish (OG OGs will get that ref ;)). I always drive through, they created a kind of double line... to help with traffic flow... a bit... when it's busy. Tiny spot, high demand. Parking can still be... worth going through the drive through.

We feel the Old Town location's food, service and prices are superior to the previous DC Ranch location. We came in on a Wednesday night. I was a little surprised we and 2 other people were the only people in the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, has a nice bar and a nice outdoor patio if weather permits. We arrived and were sat immediately. Shawn our server was very friendly and pleasant. We were never left waiting for service. The menu is pretty vast with many GF and V options. For starters, we ordered the KOREAN FRIED CAULIFLOWER $21 Radish sprouts, rainbow quinoa, snap peas, toasted sesame seeds, korean hot pepper sauce. Wish it was a little more crispy but full of flavor. We also ordered the PEAR + GORGONZOLA FLATBREAD $22. Vintage white cheddar, crisp fried sage, sage pesto. This is a thin crust pizza. The flavors worked well together. For dinner, I ordered the MARKET STREET SHORT RIB MINI TACOS $24 off the starter menus. Cojita, caramelized onions, cilantro crema, micro greens, spicy roasted corn and avocado salsa and black bean salsa. I was surprised at how much meat was in this taco. Super tasty. Well worth the price. My husband ordered the SHORT RIB ENCHILADAS $29. Ancho pasilla sauce, manchego, served with napa cabbage slaw, topped with avocado + cilantro. He said these were delicious. I'm sure we will be back.

The person who brought the food told her that it was gluten free. The server, who had taken the order, came back and told her it wasn't gluten free. He told her he'd replace it and take it off of her bill. It took her forever to get the new wrap. And when she got the bill, he hadn't removed it from her tab.
