    12 oz. JETTY JUNIOR
    Katie G.

    The smoothies are delicious. I do wish they'd offer a mini size for those that don't want a full 24oz smoothie. The inside has always been clean and there's usually seating available. I'm giving 4 stars only because the food and speed has been hit or miss anytime we've went. Ordering a head does help with that but again it's a hit or miss.

    I went to Tropical Smoothie Cafe several times during a week when they had one of their smoothie specials. The deal was you got a free smoothie when you bought any food item. The app is nicely designed and easy to use. When I picked up my order, the service was hit or miss. During most of my visits, the employees never acknowledged me, and I stood at the counter hoping someone would let me pick up my order. When I got an employee's attention, they did nicely package my smoothies and food. The smoothies were satisfying and refreshing. On the other hand, I dreaded eating the food that came with the smoothie deal. Every food item I tried was bland and generic at best. You have been warned: get the smoothies, NOT the food. Overall, I'll return to Tropical Smoothie Cafe if I get any special offers, but I prefer other smoothie joints in Tucson.

    I went here on Monday after hitting the gym with a friend. It was around 8pm & we had the place to ourselves! It was bright and clean, and the staff was nice and patient while we asked questions and figured out our order. There were tables and countertop seating that faces the menu and kitchen. We ended up getting a Baja burrito to share and it was yummy. It tasted exactly like you would expect it to taste. It had beans, avocado, chicken, cheese, and supposedly a salsa though I saw none in the burrito. However the staff easily gave us a cup of it and all was good. It came with fruit or chips. We also both got Acai bowls. That's what brought us here as Acai bowls are my current obsession. I wish there were more options but they had 3 bowls to pick from, one with a Acai base, one with an avocado base, and one with a Greek yogurt base. I chose the Acai. It was incredibly small compared to other places I've been, at least 50% smaller, at the very least for $10.49. I also noticed the granola seems like a nature valley bar broken up in it... which was different.. and very crunchy. The mangos I subbed for bananas were a bit hard too. Everything else in it was cool. My friend didn't like the Acai, she said it had an aftertaste but I didn't taste it. It definitely ranks lower in my list of Acai spots in Tucson. Anyway still a spot to look into when looking for a healthier choice. They seem to be sprouting up a lot. And they have not just the bowls and burritos, they also have flatbreads, salads, and smoothies (which would prob be a better choice). I would go back and try another burrito, salad, or flatbread.

    Yummy!! Smoothies are healthy and delicious. They have fresh wraps and flatbreads too. My new fav for healthy meals. The building is new so everything is nice and clean. The staff is friendly. Give yourself some time they aren't very fast.

Folks behind the counter are very friendly. The only thing I noticed is they seem to struggle with a really clunky point of sale system. There were many looks and gasps of bewilderment from the two folks trying to ring up orders. This significantly slowed down the long line. They have weird policies around adding chicken to the Bobbi salad. It literally makes no sense to charge $3.50 to add chicken to that salad when it costs $2.99 to add it to any other salad. It's the same amount of chicken, according to the folks behind the counter, but they have to do what the clunky point of sale system tells them to do. Otherwise the food is good and it's a decent spot to grab a note to eat. I recommend the bullrider wrap. Don't add chicken to your Bobbi salad. Mayhem.

I've been here at least 100 times and usually get the exact same thing: a plain Jane on white with turkey, mayo, provolone, avocado, and lettuce with kettle chips as the side. I also get a cannoli when they still have some. The food is always amazing! It is single-handedly the best bread and sandwich I've had anywhere and I get it every time I visit Tucson now that I've moved. The bread is so good that buy a large loaf and take it home with me to make sandwiches with. The people who work here are super sweet and friendly. They work quickly even when they're completely packed. I've never once had a problem with my order being incorrect or how I've been treated there. It has only ever been a positive experience. The restaurant itself is lovely. There is a good amount of seating but sometimes you do have to troll for a seat when it's really busy. The space is clean and easy to move around. The bathrooms are also clean and are kept well-stocked. The parking in the shopping center is difficult but that's because both Beyond Bread and Bookmans share the parking lot so there are just a lot of people there in general. I love this place and I hope you do too. If you haven't been, you just don't know you love it yet.

Their veggie shawarma is so freaking good--warm, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. It's hearty, satisfying, and proof that vegetarian options don't have to feel like an afterthought. And major bonus points for the vegan version of their Unreal Reuben. Finding a plant-based Reuben that actually hits the spot isn't easy, and this one does. Savory, comforting, and done right. Yes, it's usually busy--but that's because people know what they're doing here. Orders move quickly, the food is consistent, and it's an excellent go-to for lunch when you want something filling without feeling heavy. Busy, beloved, and very easy to get hooked on.
