    Pomegranate Plunge
    Dylan M.

    I came to this location with a sibling and a friend, looking for a nice cold refreshment. As far as first impressions go, the cafe had a good one. Walking in, the temperature was chilly but comfortable in the summer heat, the place was relatively empty of customers (except 2 or 3), and the tables, chairs, and counter were kept clean. I analyzed the vast menu of both smoothies and food, and decided to go with the Pomegranate Plunge while my sister and friend both got the Sunrise Sunset. We were quickly attended to by a member of the friendly staff and we also got our drinks promptly after. The smoothies came in styrofoam cups (considerably detrimental towards the environment) with no flexibility towards size as the only size was 24 oz. Nonetheless, the Pomegranate Plunge was a nice dark pink color and I was able to taste the individual fruits that were incorporated in the drink. However, after about halfway through the drink (12 oz.) the smoothie became average and a little tiring and hard to drink. Although the thicker consistency was a little hard to drink through the straw, the smoothie remained simply average at a 6/10. Moving on to the Sunrise Sunset, the initial taste was good with a peach-ish color. The ingredient list of the smoothie was extensive from mangoes, strawberries, pineapples, to orange juice, however, the taste of mangoes was lackluster and virtually nonexistent. I would not recommend this drink to somebody who is aiming to taste every individual fruit in the smoothie equally. Overall, the Sunrise Sunset was a 6.8/10 and also an average smoothie. Ultimately, Tropical Smoothie Cafe is an average, nothing special, smoothie cafe that I would voluntarily go once every two months. Although I would not recommend this specific smoothie location, it is by no means bad.

    Two star for the smoothie only. If it was up to me I would not give no stars. The food was ok. Behind the counter was dirty with stuff all over the floor. Told the lady what my last name was and she put my name on the ticket as sally. I am a 6 foot 1 Black guy. Do I really look like a Sally??? Asked about a military discount and it was not put in after the lady told me that this place had one and she was going to give me a military discount. Got no military discount. Once I asked about the discount all I got was a sorry. This is the last time I come to this location.

    I come here regularly because it is convenient to my work. Staff is friendly, the dining area is clean and the smoothies have been consistent. My only problem with this location is that the price of my smoothie recently increased without any warning. I tend to order the same thing every time I visit and the total amount appears to vary up to $1 difference. Maybe the staff needs more consistent training. Other than that, I always find Tropical smoothie to be a refreshing way to eat without being weighed down. My favorite smoothie is the chia banana smoothie.

    If you love burritos, you need to track down The Coop food truck. Hands down my favorite food truck…read morein Virginia Beach! I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene. Can't wait to catch them at their next pop-up!

We both got smoothies and they were large and tasted very very fresh with lots of fresh ingredients (not the watery ones you know only had some concentrate). Order at the counter and find your own seat-type place. Seating was mostly full but we lucked out with one available table that they had to bus and wipe down for us. The patio is really cute when the weather is warm. I liked the menu and could see this being a cute place to come with friends for lunch or bring out of town folks if they want to try a new brunch or lunch spot.

My sister in law is a huge fan of old school hip hop and she was singing and having so much fun reading the menu. What I love is that they have vegan options and regular options. My brother's family is vegan and it can be challenging for him to find places he can order food for his family. I don't mind eating vegan, but it's nice when places can do both. You may not believe me but this vegan friendly spot has THE best bacon I've ever had... so don't sleep on them!! The guy who was there when we picked up the food was very gracious and accommodating, I am not sure if he was the owner but he seemed genuinely appreciative of our business and it's nice to feel that as a customer. I got the breakfast burrito - it was very good, full of root veg and eggs, I would have liked a little more sauce or salsa for some flavor dimension but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The salad that came with my breakfast burrito was very tasty and I added it to the burrito for some acid from the vinaigrette. I appreciated the side salad option because it can be so hard to get your veggies in while traveling. My husband and the kids got waffles, the waffle portion was great for the kiddos but left my husband wanting more. I also got The Warren G smoothie which was yummy.

We have two little ones, and they are always so gracious and accommodating. Second, the food is 10000000/10! Wow talk about flavor!

Their rice and beans are cooked to perfection and my son who doesn't eat a ton of meat, will eat the shredded beef here! Our favorite thing about the arepa is the sauce they put on the steak with the freshness of the cheese and creaminess of the avocado with the tomato. omg my mouth is watering as I'm typing!

The Pabellon arepa with shredded beef, cheese, beans, and plantains? Omg - perfection. Add a dash of their hot sauce and garlic sauce and it's literally the best thing ever.

Will absolutely be back, and this is definitely a place I'll bring friends and family when they come visit from out of town.

The owner told me April 2026 will be there 1 year anniversary here. The food was really flavorful and the rice was good too; not dry at all. You can't see from the photo but under the pita bread was a fried green tomato or egg plant (not even sure really) but I would order a dozen of them if I could it was that good. The wings were cooked to crispy perfection, the only thing I would add would be that the wings are not fully covered in sauce so you may want to ask for extra, but I would definitely order again. This place also has a small shop inside and butcher in the back. I saw they had some tomahawk steaks in the back hanging and offered oxtail which I would love to try the next time I'm at home for a longer period of time. Definitely 5 / 5 for me.
