My family and I love going to Tropical Cafe and this was my first time at this location. No one acknowledged me when I walked in, they're too busy w their tasks. Not friendly at all. The cashier rushed me and looked bother that I was there. When the guy gave my drink I said thank you and he didn't respond and turned around. I then asked for a napkin and he pointed to the napkin dispenser that was by the exit, in which was empty. All of the dispensers were empty. Not cool! read more

The customer service at this restaurant is the worst and it starts with owner down to the cashiers/employees. Everyone acts like they hate the job. I see why the location has two stars. He got upset because I said the store has poor customer service and didn't want to serve me . Do yourself a favor and visit the next closest one on Neptune or Tampa better rating and cheaper prices. read more

Wow! This location was so fast! I paid for my Island Green smoothie, which I highly recommend, and their staff instantaneously curated this delicious smoothie within 60 seconds. It could probably be considered the Guinness world record for a smoothie order delivery. Great food options too here! The vibe inside is a bit rustic/modern - it has a nice feel! Love what they have to offer - recommend coming here big time! read more

Newly opened (like 11-15-2020) and they have a drive thru!!! This TSC is nothing short of clean, delish, efficient, and convenient. I got a smoothie & an edible straw! Amazing. So glad they're here! read more

The Acai Bowl is pretty good. The business looks clean. I enjoyed my food very much. Will probably come back again.

Horrible service I walked in not greeted but the lady that I held the door for was greeted immediately and waited on. While 2 people behind the counter saw me never greeted or even waited on me as I waited patiently one employee was looking at the other to see if they were going to help me. I continue to stand there not only to be ignored but then a drive thru order was taken. I walked out not one word said to me. Maybe I'm not the right race to be at tropical smoothie cafe because that's how I felt. Very humiliating and degrading!! read more

If you're thinking about having lunch here please rethink it. This particular tropical smoothie is very disorganized. Ordered a chicken Cesar veggie wrap and hummus veggie wrap. Waited almost 25 minutes for it. Then when I get the bag with the wrap in it , it only had the chicken Cesar wrap done. I was told the other wrap will be out shortly. Another five minutes past and I had to rush back to work before even getting to eat my food. Like I said if you're thinking a quick lunch for a lunch break I would think again. Also they were out of many chips and drinks. read more

Still waiting on a refund from two weeks ago per my last review and no one has gotten back to me. They sent my request to the same manager who said that my order was "my mistake and not his problem and he won't refund it" read more

Very disappointed I got a reward for a free smoothie and came in to the store to use and the guy told me to come again tomorrow because it wasn't working on his screen it said item not found, I came the next day to buy more food and use the free smoothie reward and he tells me the same thing , very rude , he keeps telling me to try again tomorrow had me waiting for 5 minutes pretending he was doing something on the screen. read more

Very clean and new dinning area. The peanut smoothie was very smooth and well. It's flavor did not disintegrate over team. This place is much better than Smoothie King. read more

Smoothies are good but the service is literally shi* was waiting in the drive thru for 30 min on a week day ... I understand the location is busy but y'all should make a better system. Maybe put in waiting spots do people can park after they order so orders are much quicker. Legit a one star. read more

Love the place good a lil pricey but good all these negative comments are just Karen's tbh

Went in for national flip flop day promo on the free smoothie that they kept promoting in their app and on social media, went into the cafe and the cashier and manager did not honor it let alone know what it was. Cashier gave dirty looks and wasn't welcoming at all, horrible customer service. Smoothie also tasted watered down right after they served it to me read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! They move so slow. Everything takes forever at this location. We were so happy when they opened. After giving them a third chance and even calling in the food first we still had to wait 15 minutes. DONT GO HERE read more

Just had the worst experience at this location on dale mabry. Very bad customer service. I ordered a detox island green smoothie which cost $6.41. The smoothie was watered down. They added too much ice and water. Everyone knows mango pineapple and banana will over power spinach and kale but i could only taste some bits of green and water. I told them the smoothie was watered down. The lady replied I made it perfect. Usually when a customer isn't satisfied with there product they make it over. She refuses to make it over. I basically wasted $6 dollars. I will never go back to this location. If you are reading this dont waste your money here go to the location South Dale Mabry much better service and they know how to make the smoothies! read more

Service was great. Store was very clean. Not a complaint towards this location, but all tropical smoothies put way too much water and ice. Smoothies hardly have flavor and that's even after asking for extra banana :( read more

you know, i come here a lot on my lunches because i work right across the street and i have a horrible experience every time. they're slow as hell, take forever to come to the window and they're just rude. i don't know why i always come back thinking it's going to be different but never is. i know they're hiring i'm about to get a job here and whip this shit into shape. read more

Today evening I visited this store for the second time ever. Upon arrival there were three employees working. My friend and I placed an order for three smoothies and one flat bread. I requested for one of the drinks to be a custom drink made with banana, strawberry, milk and frozen yogurt. I stepped outside and waited for my order. When I came back the manager on duty (04/19/2021 8:20 PM) was not sure which to go bag belongs to me. She handed me one of the bags that was on the pick up counter and told me this is it in a unsure tone. So I checked the receipt and it was not mine. She told me even though the receipt is wrong the items in the bag are correct and then tossed the incorrect receipt. So I took my order and left. As soon as I got out and tasted my drink I realized it is not what I ordered. It was straight up water/ ice and food artificial flavor. No strawberries, no banana, not even the taste. So I went back inside and explained exactly what ingredients I wanted more than four times and told the staff that I will be waiting outside for it to get ready. After 5 minutes I went back inside and the store manager told me in a rude way "we do not have milk here so we can't make your drink". I asked if it can be made with frozen yogurt and water in leu of milk and she responded in the same rude tone "we don't have frozen yogurt neither". So I requested for a refund since she already took my drink back. She ask me for my receipt that she actually through away because it was not the right one in my flatbread bag. I ask if she can give me a refund using my credit card and she refused to do so as well. This is not the type of customer service you want to run a business in this line work. I will await a response from the store owner before I post this in every possible review platform; in hope that they actually care about their business and don't want one bad employee reflect on others. read more

The smoothie was very weak (it collapsed after 5 minutes). They messed up our order three times. It smelled like a combination of diarrhea, poop, and vomit. read more

Slow service. I was in the same spot at the drive thru for so long that the guy who took my order greeted me twice. I ordered, both, the peanut paradise and the beach bum all you could taste was banana and ice. Extremely watered down and flavorless. read more

I hate it when places stop serving food before closeing!!!!! If your gonna be open then serve food!!! It's just lazy.

Food is good and great smoothies! Nirav is a great manager, he told me about rewards program. He always makes sure that my smoothie taste great. read more

Slowest place ever. Need more workers to speed up the drive thru line. They'll have you waiting in the same spot for 20 minutes.

Worst experience, bad customer service. Food was cold and look at the picture and how they make it. Tell me if you will eat that... I went to ask and they say that's how they make it, lie I'll been eating the same thing for years. It was easy fix, add to pieces of chicken and tomato, but instead Rene say NO, I ask for return and he call the manager, and they wanted to refund me just $3 when they price before tax is $7 and change, and the excuse was because I order also a smoothie which anyway was wrong because I pay $12.67 for everything, then he gave me $6 back, by the I was already upset, finally after keep talking on the phone with the manager Nerav they give me back all the money, first didn't even want to give me my receipt, finally instead of at lease leave me with the smoothie for the bad experience Rene took it back. I can continue and I will give 0 star if it was an option, they lost one customer for ever. read more
