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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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?

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.

Great service and smoothies. Got a mango magic smoothie with whey and soy protein - recommend the half and half split. You could hardly taste the protein. The smoothie only took a few minutes to take and was very fresh.
