First off extremely friendly staff. I really like the folks here. They make you feel right at home. All are kind, polite, and quite efficient. I now make my own smoothies for the most part, but this is a good place to see if right for you. Like many Americans, inflation is cutting deeper every day. The prices here and app, aren't what they used to be. This is industry wise, but I just can't do it as much as I used to. One positive aside from the employees, is this chain has proteins to choose from. Whey is my recommendation for those into fitness. All of the smoothies are delicious, but the meals aren't anything exciting. I don't find the portions generous also. Then again am a fairly big man, and taste/sizes is subjective. If inflation isn't a concern, by all means stop in here. These are really nice people and a comfortable place. read more

Love tropical smoothie typically but the staff here are terrible. Unfriendly, unhelpful, and location is consistently out of several menu options. read more

I love TSC, but I especially love this particular location. The service is outstanding. I live 5-10 min away by car, and I come here probably 3-4 times a month. I'll usually order ahead on the app and leave immediately to pick it up, and when I get there, my order is ALWAYS done and ready to take away. The staff is also friendly and they always greet me when I come in. Still working on getting to that first-name basis- I order so often that I think we can get there someday. In terms of the actual food/smoothies, you really can't go wrong with the smoothies- they're all great. They only have one size and it's pretty big, but trust me once you start drinking you'll want to finish the whole thing. On the food side, I really like the wraps- they're decently-sized and pretty filling. I get the Supergreen Caesar Wrap every time and it still slaps. I would recommend downloading the app because you can get rewards points with each purchase that you can use to get free items. The app also makes it very easy to customize your order to be exactly how you want it. Can't recommend TSC enough. I would have photos to go along with this but I devoured my meal before I remembered to take a picture... read more

6/15/21 Upon driving past this place more times than I can remember, I finally decided to come here for a smoothie and walked out with a chicken quesadilla with bacon as well. The Magic Mango with Watermelon was a special treat. I did forget to add peaches, peaches for me. A combination that would simply be considered... Outstanding. My smoothie simply will not last the day I am afraid. What would the business owner say...they would probably say "y'all come back now here." I would have to say, "I would." The food is outstanding and so is this smoothie. What could make this day even better is Knowing The Baltimore Ravens win the superbowl this year...yeah, my teams time to shine. Right now this is the happiness the magic mango with watermelon is bringing. Football season hasn't begin yet, but there will be lots of watermelon smoothie to make my day until that time. 6/16/21 Back again, But this time I wanted to replace the Magic Mango with Peaches and Watermelon instead of mango and pineapple. I was informed Tropical Smoothie no longer carries peaches. This is very bad. This is a nightmare. This can't not be happening. It is, it was and never will be again... peaches are the best there is, best there was and the best there ever will be. By adding watermelon to the peaches, your looking at the most electrifying fruit in Tropical Smoothie history. By not having these two mega powers together, I feel were looking at the greatest disappointment mankind ever messed out on. Think of Undertaker VS Sting. Today I saw Alejandro and Maria working today. Alejandro did not see a happy as he was yesterday. No greeting or thanks for coming by as he did with other clientele. Different strokes for different folks. The ambience felt different today, but maybe it had to do with peaches being out of the equation. Maria said "peaches have been gone for a long time." The large cups have been gone too..Pity. Guess we will see what tomorrow brings. Millions of peaches, no peaches here you see...disappointing. read more

This is a really great location situated near the Dunn Loring Metro and Harris Teeter. The customer service is excellent and the employees have such a positive attitude. I had the Sunrise Sunset smoothie and it's my favorite since it has mango, pineapple, strawberries and orange juice. Very tropical indeed and it makes me feel like I'm not stuck in cold Virginia. I also learned on this visit that they have a rewards app so if you come here often it's nice to have. You get a $5 credit for every $55 you spend. read more

Love real quality fruit smoothies but don't want to pay the Jamba juice / Robeks prices??? This is your place!!! I'm a smoothie-holic. A smoothie aficionado. Thus far, I've tried the following smoothies: Sunshine - 5/5 stars - hands down, the best smoothie on offer; unique and sensational Blimey limey - 5/5 - unique and kind of similar to sunshine in flavor Sunrise sunset - 4/5 - unique tasting but nowhere as good as the sunshine Acai berry boost - 4/5 - honestly, not expensive as Jamba but also not as good as Jamba juice's acai Health Nut - 4/5 - pretty good, slightly weird blend of blueberry with banana; good for every now and then Blueberry bliss - 3/5 - OK, not impressive I am also a fan of Jamaican jerk chicken, so when I noticed that they have jerk chicken wrap on the menu, I was very excited. After tasting I thought they did a fine job - not authentic but still close enough! read more

I'm a regular here because the food and smoothies are consistently good and prepared very quickly. All the staff is very friendly and some even greet me by name (shout out to Larry)! Cannot go wrong with the Baja Chicken or Caribbean Jerk Chicken wrap. If you're not as hungry then go with one of the flatbreads. Opting for a combo with a smoothie is always a good move--my favorites are the Acai Berry Boost and Island Green. If you come often enough, downloading the app is worth it because you will get $5 off every couple orders and even free supplements in your smoothie. read more

Love this tropical smoothie in general but this location is top notch! Service is consistently quick and the staff is very friendly! Their fruits and veggies are always fresh. Also they are very good with online orders and using the rewards app. You can park in the parking garage across from Harris Teeter that has a 2 hour time limit. read more

I'm a fan of the Tropical Smoothie Cafe brand and was very happy with this location. It might be my favorite TSC that I've been too, except there are not many places to sit. Given the metro site and being near a lot of apartments it may be ok for those to order and go. It is very clean and the employees were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Hopefully it lasts. I had the fiery chicken flat bread. It actually wasn't on the menu anymore but I had looked it up before coming and they luckily made it for me. In the past I loved the chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich on the menu looks a little different but look forward to trying it in the future. Smoothies are generally good and getting a half sandwich and smoothie is a good deal too. read more

TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE IS THE BEST!!! Every location is pretty much consistent with their food, smoothies, and service, so this review can apply to other locations as well. There are so many delicious and healthy items on the menu to choose from, but my go-to is their Chicken Pesto toasted flatbread, Bahama Mama smoothie (GREATEST SMOOTHIE EVER), and a side of chips (you have the choice of a bag of chips or fruit for your side). The smoothies come in one (large) size, but you can ask to split one into smaller cups. Staff always greets you when you walk in and they bring your order to you whether you're dining in or carrying out. This specific location has some outdoor seating which is always a plus and is conveniently located near the Dunn Loring metro station. read more

I cannot say enough about how great this Tropical Smoothie is! I have lived in the Dunn Loring area for the last two years and was actually able to stop by this location for it's soft opening, and have been going there at least twice a week ever since. John, Larry, and the rest of the staff there are amazing. They seem to know everyone by name and are all very personable. The atmosphere of the cafe itself is great too. The walls are covered with tropical pictures and there is always music playing. Both the inside tables and outside tables are always clean and the napkin holders are always full. The food is great too. I have tried almost every smoothie on the menu and have tried a good number of their sandwiches and wraps, including the breakfast options, and can safely say that I've never had something that I didn't enjoy or couldn't finish. The food and smoothies are ready quickly too, so whenever I stop in on my way to the metro in the morning, i'm in and out in less than 5 minutes. My favorite meal is the Southwest Breakfast Wrap with a Kiwi Quencher smoothie with Splenda and Whey protein. The only negative thing about Tropical Smoothie is that I probably spend way too much money here :) read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - The morning routine: tropical smoothie, express, waiting on the metro.Thanks #tropicalsmoothiecafe for making this morning a little brighter - Sandwiches Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

When I grow up, I hope I am cool and rich enough to live in a place like the Modera Avenir Place Apartments. This hipster utopia is hard up against the Dunn Loring Metro station outside DC. Although the Tropical Smoothie Cafe is underneath the Metro Parking Garage, it is part of a group of shops that includes everything one might need if they did not want to own a car. The oddity of being in the bottom of a parking garage is that parking is very tight unless you want to enter said garage. Most TSC locations are located in suburban strip malls with so much parking you might think they were selling cars, but that is not the case here so driver beware if you are hoping to swing in and grab a quick smoothie on your way somewhere else. The location is pretty typical in size and I got a tasty smoothie - one can't go wrong with an Acai pick me up late in the afternoon, right? read more

Best T.S. I've ever visited. Top notch service. Very personable and friendly. BBQ Chicken wrap was the best item I've ever had here; also made better than other locations I've had it. Peanut butter Paradise is a fave of mine. Only wish is that it was closer to my office! read more

One of the best smoothies i have ever tried! My favorite one is the avocolada, i have to go there on daily basis,10/10. Plus the service is really friendly read more

I was in the area for work for almost 3 months and found myself here at least once a week. I can only speak to the one item I ordered every time off the menu (the Island Green smoothie with an extra scoop of soy protein powder), which was my favorite and most consistent meal alternative when I was coming home from the gym and not in the mood to eat a real meal. I thought it was a delicious combo and it was always consistent! The staff were all very kind and service and food quality was always consistent. They even gave me an extra cup with the "leftover" smoothie one time! Now that I've moved on to another location for work, I'll be sad to leave the Tropical Smoothie Cafe behind. Hopefully there is a location wherever my next project is! read more

The staff here is always bubbly and nice. Not really a long wait for a smoothie even if there is a line- maybe 10 minutes or so. They also have different choices of proteins that you can add to the smoothies. They serve food as well and breakfast is all day long. Their breakfast wraps are a decent size and very yummy. Smoothies are also large and filling. read more

Great smoothie shop. I've had the Peanut Paradise and Chia Banana smoothies many times and I love it. The Chia Banana is also very filling and can almost serve as a meal replacement. The sandwiches and pitas are also solid. I like the pesto chicken pita and turkey bacon ranch sandwich. The Tropical Smoothie Cafe app is very convenient. You can order and then pick up immediately at the store. Staff is really friendly and the service is really fast. Great addition to the Dunn Loring shop corridor. read more

Hi, my name is Annie and I'm addicted to Tropical Smoothie. I'm glad that it's close by, but far enough that I won't be going on a daily basis and burning a hole in my wallet from doing so. The cafe is located in the Avenir Place shopping center, which is the new strip by Dunn Loring metro. They have a variety of different smoothies and there's something for everyone! My personal favorites are Avocolada and Island Greens (I'm all about that green juice!). You can also add supplements (chia seeds, protein, etc.) for an additional cost. They also have fresh food such as breakfast sandwiches, salads, flatbreads, sandwiches and wraps. Also, the employees here are always very friendly and smiley which is always nice. All smoothies come in one size. Download their rewards app via LevelUp so you can rack up $5 credit for every $55 spent! read more

Do your body see good and take care of it. I got the detox smoothie with kale and it's delicious. The wraps are also tasty but good for you. Download the app! read more

So I frequent TSC in several locations. This one, the one in McLean when I am at work, and the one on Little River Turnpike. I get the same smoothie 90% or the time which is the detox island green smoothie with two boosts of protein. Normally, it's perfect no matter where I go, but at this location, there is on person in particular that makes it incorrectly. I've asked her to fix on two different trips as the consistency is always way too creamy, which I'm always polite about it. However, I get pushback with a response of, "Well, it's because you asked for double protein." No, ma'am as I get the same smoothie at all of these locations, and have never had this problem. I guess I feel miffed because the person helping me gives me an air like I'm wrong for what I'm asking for with my order that never tastes like this. I love the manager that is split between the two locations, as he's super great. Plus, most of the staff here is wonderful too, but it's just this one. I just want my smoothie right every time I go. :( read more

I love tropical smoothie on a regular basis. This was the first time I ordered from this location, and as I was finishing my drink, I realized there was a hair stuck on the inside of my cup. I hadn't been opened since being purchased and the hair is caught on the lid. I guess from the way I was holding the cup I didn't see the hair until later. Luckily, it was stuck. I can't imagine what it would have been like to find that hair in my mouth after slurping it up if the hair was in the actual drink. read more

Nearby location at my place, this is my second time at this location. However, overall experience is 5 stars rate. The people here are very nice, pay attention to details, and also always smiling. Some factors are very important when we run the hospitality business. They even know the regular customer's order which is the most important thing to have customer's royalty. I normally only get smoothie, but today I tried island chicken which is very good. I will try something else next time. read more

I have frequent a few tropical smoothies locations in the area, Reston, Herndon, and Chantilly. My disappointment with this location unlike the others when you order ahead your smoothie is not waiting for you in their fridge remaining cold. I assumed it was a general practice, if not it should be a common sense practice, especially today. Today the temperature 88°F, I need my smoothie to be a smoothie when I arrive. Luckily I was not too far away this time, but other times it may be 15 to 20 mins before I get there and I am banking on the fridge to keep it cold versus it sitting on the pick up counter getting warm. Other than that, the place looked clean and welcoming, but it was a major fail for me not keeping my smoothie refrigerated till I got there. read more

This Tropical Smoothie has an awesome vibe with very attentive staff! Smoothies are refreshing and sandwiches taste great! I recommend you stop through when your in the Dunn Loring area read more

We started stopping by here before work and the handful of times we've been here, our service has always been 5 stars. The second time we came, the really nice man taking our orders remembered us from the week before and already knew what we wanted. He makes our smoothies within a matter of minutes so we're always in and out. And they always send us off with a "see you tomorrow!" Which is super friendly and welcoming. Awesome energy, awesome vibe, awesome location. read more

I order pick-up from this location almost on a weekly basis, and I've always had a great experience. In the past two years, I've had my order made wrong twice but I never told them of the issue so I can't fault them, as I didn't give them a chance to correct it. My go-to is an Avocolada with a Southwest Breakfast Wrap, and it is perfect to me. This is a great location- convenient, clean, and friendly employees. read more

This place is known for three smoothies they have different fruits and vegetables along with protein powder and peanut butter etc to make some of the best smoothies in the area. However I'm a big fan of the Thai Wrap! It's crunch and the peanut sauce is a game changer in my opinion. I usually get chips with my order but you get the option of fruit as well usually an orange. The smoothies have different aspects to it and they tell you some are good for muscle growth (ie protein) or healthy like Kale etc. it they're all very delicious just be weary of the sugar content on them. read more

I can't remember the last time that I've had Tropical Smoothie but ever since this visit I think this will be a staple. I am so ecstatic that I was in the mood for a smoothie to actually taste this again. I loved the set up of the location. There was a little bar in the front and the menu was really clean and easy to read. I went for the classic smoothie, the Paradise Point and I added my favorite thing, ginger! This smoothie is the absolute truth, just thinking about it makes me want to hop in my car and grab another one. This smoothie is sooo good that I'm afraid to try another flavor because it may not be as good *sigh*. In regard to the customer service I really like that when the cashier took my card she actually used my name when she gave it back as well as when she gave me my smoothie. I love this little area, the only downfall is there is no parking in the front. read more

1. Ambiance: I am loving their decor and wall pictures. The color gives off a happy and island vibe. Light green and coral are the theme colors of this restaurant. It is a casual environment that you can hang out and kick back with friends/family. 2. Food: I ordered the Pom Plunge and had bought Blueberry Bliss and Acai Berry Boost for a few kids that I was with. The Pom Plunge consists of pomegranate, banana, strawberries & cranberry. I love the combination that they had put together for these drinks. The Pom Plunge was delicious and refreshing. You can turn it into a protein drink by adding supplements (powder) and/or fresh add-ins, which I will do so next time. The kids also loved their Acai Berry Boost and Blueberry Bliss. 3. Service: Abel helped us with our order. I do have to apologize in advance if the kids that I was with were staring at him. I was supposed to meet a guy for a date, or lack thereof. The jerk canceled 15 minutes prior and the kids thought it would be best if I try to date Abel so that they can get free smoothies. I tutor these kids on Sunday and they're getting too clever. Anyhow, Abel was very really sweet and patient with us because the kids and I took forever ordering the food. Great service all around. 4. Costs: The Blueberry Bliss was $5.19, Pom Plunge was $5.69, and 2 Acai Berry Boost was $11.38. The drinks are pricey and range above $5, but their drinks are very fresh. They serve the drinks in a large container that took a while to finish, so you're definitely getting a lot for your money. 5. Overall Experience: I would definitely come back since I am a fan of their drinks. I would try other flavors under the superfood smoothies. It was a fun experience, lively environment, and great service and foods. Side Notes: An abundance of parking spots behind the restaurant near the Dunn Loring Metro. read more

I called in a fairly large order...for our office lunch. 9 meals. Only 1 ordered fruit as the side. Me. I SPECIFICALLY ordered NOT an apple, as I'm allergic. I told the person on the phone about the allergy. What did I get as my side? An Apple. All the salads are advertised as Romaine lettuce...guess what, it's not. It's nasty Iceberg. NOT as described, at all! Our food was placed in a box with a weak handle. The handle broke, and one of my co-workers was out a lunch, this was, however, replaced. But still...not listening, AND a weak handle? I was excited for lunch, but not anymore! I won't be back. read more

Not healthy at all, unlike most reviews state plus the Virginia Department of Health issued news their frozen strawberries risk Hep A infection. They use frozen and canned fruits for their smoothies so if you think about what "healthy" means, think again. I wanted a simple acai and pineapple smoothie, and if they use fresh fruits, sweetness would naturally occur between the two when combined. The server asked me if I wanted turbinado sugar on my smoothie, and I said no. She then proceeded to say, not even Splenda or a fruit juice to make the smoothie a bit slushier and easy to drink. Umm gross. Luckily I used a free coupon and I threw my smoothie away after the first sip because the canned taste of pineapples were disgusting and quite dominant. I scrambled to check when my visit was and this was back in May, and phew thank the heavens for that time frame and the simple fact that I did not consume any frozen strawberries from this place as the Virginia Department of Health just issued an update stating the frozen strawberries here have been contaminated with Hepatitis A. Frozen strawberries that were genetically tested and modified. This is why I always go for fresh, organic, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the farthest thing from that. I'm not a fan of businesses that masquerade as "healthy" but are really not. Stay away.

Review #36 Location: 2672 Avenir Place, Suite O, Vienna, VA 22180; off Prosperity Avenue; Orange Line: Dunn Loring/Merrifield Metro Area, west of Gallows Road, south of I-66, north of Hwy 29. Across the street from Modera Avenir Place Apartments, in between Orange Theory Fitness and Association in Eyecare. Parking: Street & garage parking, Orange Line Metro: walking distance within 1-2 blocks Hours: Mon-Fri: 6am-9pm, Sat: 8am-9pm, Sun: 8am-8pm Specifics: Today, 15 March 2016, at 6am, was their grand opening. I ordered the Avocolada Smoothie, since it looked refreshing and healthy with avocado, lime, coconut (my favorite), spinach, kale, and pineapple (another favorite of mine) ingredients. I got there at lunch time, 11am, and they had a steady flow of customers walking in, and plenty of helpful and friendly staff to help customers. Yesterday, I was in the area looking at the new restaurants for lunch, and after getting Thai food, walked down to the Smoothie Café. I was outside looking in, and a man motioned for me to come inside. He told me they weren't officially opened today, but were making sure everything was set up and working properly for their grand opening tomorrow, 16 March. He let me look at the menu, ask questions, take pictures, and was extremely helpful and polite. He told me to come back tomorrow for their opening. I asked if they were going to have any opening specials, and he said not yet, but they are looking into offering specials once they are settled. Discounts: They have a military, fire, and police discount. Menu: So, not only do they offer their namesake, "smoothies," but they offer tacos, flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and sides. Since this is a chain store, most people know the menu, and that they offer add-ins and supplements to their smoothies for an extra punch of energy and healthy nutrition. Unfortunately for those who have to be or choose to be gluten-free (GF), the only non-liquid food offered GF is the Fruit Medley and the Loaded Spinach Salad. The other two salads aren't GF. If they offered the tacos or wraps in corn tortillas, then GF eaters would be good to go, but they are flour tortillas. But I come here for the smoothies anyway, so they are all GF. However, some of the add-ins and supplements aren't GF, and if you look at their menu, you can see that the ones that aren't GF are the: energizer, vitamin-c, fat burner, spinach and kale, and whole grain oats. I didn't ask what they put in the spinach and kale add-in for it to have gluten, but next time there I will ask. Maybe it's just a mistake on the menu. (Posted on 15 Mar 2016) read more
