A year later and I still find myself here from time to time and the service is still as good as it used to be! Still my go to spot whenever I am craving a smoothie!! The customer service is still stellar and I like that they still greet you upon entry. I stuck with my typical, Jetty Punch and it was just as delightful as I expected. Since the onset of their app, I do use it every time I go because once you earn rewards with each person. Even if you do not have a method of payment on the app, you can still scan it with each visit. In a hurry? No worries, you can order from the app as well and retrieve it from the designated area in store. read more

Very tasty smoothies. Fresh fruit and quick service. Only downside is the price. Service was pretty quick. Store was very clean. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

This location does not honor the "Happy Hour" deal that most do (roughly half off a smoothie if you buy in the early AM). AVOID

Very bad service , i came to order but i needed to use the bathroom first since i was coming from very far and passing by there . They refused to let me use the bathroom before me purchasing something or as he said by something then u can use the bathroom : which i found very weird . read more

I rated this location with 5 stars simply because of SARA! i've visited this location multiple times in the past & each & every time, Sara is ALWAYS bubbly & eager to provide the best customer service! It's easy for us to jump on Yelp to complain about bad service, but when we experience the best service, it's always good to jump on Yelp as well & scream it from the mountain tops! So i say Go Sara! Keep it up & give this girl a raise!!! read more

I use to live coming here, today I noticed the girl at the register was high. Don't believe drug test her. Short girl with brown and blonde hair. I paid extra for extra fruit multivitamins etc. I asked if the remaining smoothie be put in a small cup. Obviously if more things are added there would be more left over. Well, as I watched them make my shake and fill up my cup, I also noticed there was left over in the blender. The girl doing the blender immediately grabbed the blender water in the blender. The short high girl -comes over and tells me there was non left when I told her there was more left she said oh there was only a little bit left. Clearly there wasn't just a little left, she instead ran her mouth. To the owner it's a shame you have this type of costumer service in such an establishment. At least tell them to not be high at work. Order ID: 33821080684732 read more

I've visited this location a few times. The island green smoothie is always my go to! It's healthy and delicious. Today I tried the pumpkin chai, not my Favorite and probably won't order again. Chicken pesto flatbread was awesome, I've also tried chicken bacon ranch which is awesome. Get the app so you can get rewards points! read more

They don't pick up the phone and when they did the guy tells me I can't order on the phone I have to online and has an rude attitude and just wanted to hang up read more

I still have hope for the day when I order a smoothie and it doesn't taste watered down. It's always hot it most here and it's something so simple. In think employees need to be more constant, and knowledge on measurements in drinks. Same for sandwiches, sometimes a little lettuce other times a bunch it's a wasterv of product and money when you don't follow a recipe. read more

Avocado grilled cheese sandwich certainly has some avocado, but if I asked for mayo, that would have been more than the avocado I have. Pretty crappy given that AVOCADO is the first/primary ingredient that sold me on getting this item read more

We love Tropical Smoothie!  I try to visit one whenever I can around lunch time.  Alexandria, Fairfax, Reston, Arlington, Baltimore....wherever I'm at I look for a Tropical Smoothie. We used to love coming here to the Prince William Parkway one, but frankly it has become 50/50.  50% of the time my order is right, and 50% of the time it is not.  50% of the time my Mocha Madness smoothie tastes like the brand standard, and 50% of the time it does not. The people here are great.  Everyone here is incredibly nice, friendly, and sweet as can be, it's just inconsistent which is not what I want when I order the same thing every visit.  Some of their competitors, for instance the one in Lake Ridge about 2 miles down Smoketown Road from this Tropical Smoothie location, nail every order exactly the same.  They get the consistency part down pat. I hope Management or Ownership can pinpoint what's going on here.  I'll probably not be back for a while since today my sandwich was made wrong, and my smoothie tasted the worst it has ever tasted.  It was corrected, but still just avoid the extra step to begin with. It's a shame.  Again, I used to come every single weekend. read more

The customer service could have been better at this location. Upon walking up to take my order I was not greeted by Magaly. I waited a few more days seconds and still no greeting so I proceeded with my order. I also ordered the avocado grilled cheese which was not grilled as should be. Not sure if i would ever go back to this location. I hope your employees on better customer service. read more

Bottom line up front- good smoothies and friendly service with a staff who was willing to substitute items if you need to, or just want to. I'm not a big banana guy, but I got the Pomegranate Plunge that comes with pomegranate, banana, cranberry and strawberries. I asked the lady if I could switch out the banana and add extra cranberries and she said yes. Boy was I glad, because this thing is awesome. I'm really glad that my daughter Dottie wanted to take me to this place for our Dad & Daughter date, because I have a new place to swing into to get something good and tasty, not just one or the other. If you can do it try this place out it's right near Potomac Mills across from Hobby Lobby and the Noodle Company. Pluses: +Selection +Size +Flavor +Staff friendliness +Clean Minus: - I can't really think of one, Other to say I've never seen it before because it's tucked in the corner. You'll enjoy it! read more

First visit to this store AND this chain, will not be our last. On a rather hot day, boyfriend and I were shopping at nearby 2nd & Charles when I brought up that smoothies sounded really good. He agreed and we walked over. Lots of people waiting for drinks and they were served quickly. We were able to order within a minute of walking in the door and our drinks were out in less than five. We were both *very* pleased with our smoothies and will be returning to get more and possibly food as well. More of a 3.5 vs 4.0 star visit but it was very good so I'll boost it to 4 :) read more

I have to start off by saying how much I love tropical smoothie, and that I frequent the all the locations in Woodbridge and Stafford. Yesterday 5/4/20 my husband and I placed our order through the Tropical Smoothie app; after about 15 minutes he went in to pick up our order which was ready. He puts his mask on and goes into the restaurant and comes back to the car with our drinks but was explaining we should toss them (he was like $13 drinks are not worth getting sick). He explained that even though we are the middle of a PANDEMIC the staff preparing food and drinks are not wearing face masks or one had one on but tucked under her chin. The staff were laughing and talking as they normally would over customers food and drinks. We spoke about it for a moment and decided to go back and return the drinks and request a refund. We ask for the manager and the women said she was; I politely explained that we felt uncomfortable eating from any restaurant where sanitary protocol (they do have shields up at the register) isn't in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. She giggled, and said she can't complete refunds but her boss would be in later and would process the refund through the app. To the store manager, I hope you take this opportunity to improve the COVID protocol at your store. Many people similar to myself would love to enjoy a break from cooking at home, but want to do it with out the risk of getting sick from your staff. read more

Since I moved here in January, the shakes I've ordered at this location have always been consistent. Other Tropical Smoothies around the area are usually consistent - I did have a couple watery ones at other locations, but it's not a reoccurring problem. I came in on a busy Thursday during lunch. The line was long, but the staff cranked out the food and drinks quickly and consistently. One thing to note: I don't mind Spanish music! However, I hear it every time I go in. I think it would be nice to mix up the track a bit considering the different age groups and demographic differences of their customers. Another thing to note: The Santa Fe Quesadilla tasted yummy for a quick pick-me-up. But wasn't as meaty or thick as portrayed on their menu picture - then again, since when did food pictures actually look like that in reality? Customer service = B- read more

Don't come here expecting to use the coupon for the $1.99 smoothie if you order a wrap or flatbread. I was told I have to fill out the survey for this location and can only use the coupon at this location. read more

I was in the area and visited. Polite employees, no liquified smoothie to go, hot and large portion sized food, short wait time, and gave me a receipt with a survey for a coupon. I guess there are still some good TSCs out there. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Thai chicken wrap. Very good. Definitely Worth the price if all TSC's make it this way. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Today, I received the worst smoothie ever from the Smoketown plaza location, I ordered aChia Banana Boost at about 355 this afternoon. It had no flavor and was mostly a frozen ice ball. Sorry for this note but quality sells! read more

This spot has been consistently good for the many time that I have been here. The prices are reasonable BUT even though the smoothies are good with good ingredients they still use quite a bit of sugar unlike Robeks. Good location not to far from Potomac Mills. Not a whole lot of healthy options in the area and sometimes you get tired of the same ole same ole. read more

Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Avocolada - yummy but a tad bit sweet. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

This location is not the best at all! I came in a few months ago and got my favorite smoothie, a paradise point in the wee hours of the morning. I was the only one in there so i watched them make it. It was a pre made smoothie I saw them poor into my cup and blend with more fruit and sugar. I was not happy about that so I complained online. The manage Josh called me (very very nice and great manager) offering me to come in for a free smoothie just to tell them he sent me. He also explained that if a mobile order doesn't show up and orders the same thing they will use it for a new smoothie later in the day. Fast forward to when I was finally back to the area. I came in, asked for the smoothie. The cashier got the in store manager GLADYS came up and asked "What's the problem?" I explained to her the situation & played the voice mail, & the in store manager Gladys was not helpful and very rude and nasty about it. She proceeded to say you need to call Josh, this was months ago, I can't do anything for you. You need to come in when Josh is here on Monday. I explained to her i do not live in the area so I need to stop by when I'm here. She in no way shape or form was she helpful or accommodating. Just overall rude and nasty. And to do that in front of other patrons is embarrassing to say the least. I purchased my smoothie and actually called Josh back. He was supper helpful and understanding and I why he is in the position he is in. He's manager material. Regardless of how long it took me to get back (as I told her I don't live in the area) she could of been way more understanding and accommodating to a customer. Especially after I paid. It's just ridiculous. Where is the customer service at?! read more

I'm updating my review based on several unsatisfied experiences. And this time... was much different! After having issues on my last visit, the owner contacted me and apologized for the service I received and ensure that he would discuss with his staff on efforts to improve the service. I went back yesterday and maybe I was on a good day? The staff is friendly as always. They finally got my order right and they did it in a reasonable amount of time. All I need is for my order to be made right then I'm super happy . read more

The cashier at this location on Thursday, June 11 at approximately 11:15 AM did not enforce the requirement to wear a mask for two customers. When I asked if patrons are required to wear a mask, he stated, "yes, but I'm not going to enforce it...what will I do, call the cops? There's no one in here." There were two other customers. I would not expect an establishment to call the police for a customer or two for not wearing a mask, but I do expect establishments to enforce the rules to the best of their ability. If this location isn't following state mandated protocols, what other laws and/or codes are they ignoring? Sharing for others that are trying to be vigilant during this time. read more

What's the purpose Of the staff wearing masks if they only are going to wear them over their chins half of the staff did not have their mask over their mouth and nose the other half were not wearing gloves while preparing the food. Several of the young ladies had long hair one of them brush their hair out of the way while they were preparing food whatever happened to hairnets this is a nasty restaurant. However, they were friendly and fast. They are youngAnd need guidance read more

Absolutely, undoubtedly the most horrific smoothie I have ever tried in my 25 years of life. I don't know if the person who made this Muscle Blaster is a new employee but damn it tastes like f***ing Pepto-Bismol. The flavor is nowhere near sharp or tastes like Strawberries and Bananas. I can't even act like Randy Jackson and say "Yeah that's gonna be a no for me dawg". This is the most horrendous abomination I have ever had. The worst Tropical Smoothie I've ever been to. Do NOT go here. I would almost pay you guys to not go here. Hold your money and go to a different Tropical Smoothie. read more

Paired the mocha madness smoothie with the chicken caprese! Yum. I thought it to be amusing to have Latin music playing in the background.

Back to eating! read more

Update (24 JUL 14) : I was contacted by the owner Josh last week. He thoroughly apologized for the lack of service that I had received and genuinely appreciated how loyal of a customer my wife and I are. I was very happy to see that the owner is actively involved in the YELP reviews and is interested in the growth and welfare of his store, employees, and even his customers. Josh had offered a few complementaries and I assured him it was appreciated, however unnecessary. My wife and I intend on frequenting this store and Josh's level of professionalism just makes us that more comfortable with our decision. Thank you again for contacting us Josh. I have edited my review to reflect four stars, as opposed to two. This was a one off situation that has not been a repeated occurrence; your level of professionalism in handling the situation was most appreciated. read more

Just to be clear, this rating is not a reflection of Tropical Smoothie or its food, this is about the mediocre staffing in the Woodbridge location. The Tropical Smoothie chain is fantastic. They got great food and awesome smoothies. My regular location I visit in Herndon is on point. This Woodbridge location, not so much. I've been here at least 5 separate occasions. The first 3 visits, my orders were wrong. I keep coming back only because I like the food. Imo, waiting for almost 20 minutes for a sandwich is crazy. Especially when you see a staff of about 5 people back behind the register... (Only 2 other people in front of me waiting for their food, otherwise the place is empty) Herndon has 2-3 people working (one register and 1-2 prepping) and I manage to get my food much faster. (This is during prime time lunch hour too btw.) Is this a comparison of store locations? Kind of. If I go to one store and get good service, I expect the same service at another. If you're in no hurry and don't mind the occasional goof up of your order, this location will make do. read more

Love the smoothie and the best part is that you can add some protein after a good workout. They also have vegan options!!!

Ordered the hummus veggie and I got mostly wrap and lettuce. Mind you, I have had this (usually delicious) wrap several times at other locations. However, at this location they did not compare. Not sure if they are trying to be stingy with their ingredients or just incompetent. Reason I say that is because a simple question when I was ordering seemed difficult to the staff. Needless to say, I won't be coming back to this location. read more

I am pleased to report that my second visit to a Tropical Smoothie franchise went FAR better than my first. I went to their location in Reston (Plaza America) about a year ago and got crappy fish tacos and that turned me off on the franchise completely. But the wife and I needed something to eat before we got on I-95, and the IHOP in the same shopping center was PACKED, so we decided to give this Tropical Smoothie a shot. While they were offering tacos, I decided to stay away from them this time and went for their Wasabi Caesar Roast Beef sandwich. The toasted ciabatta breat was very tasty and the sandwich was yummy. The wife opted for the King Caesar wrap and gave it her approval. She also ordered the Kiwi Quencher smoothie and loved it. And they both came with choice of chips, and Sun Chips was an option. Loves me some Sun Chips. On the down side, we paid $21 for two sandwiches with Sun Chips, a soda, and a smoothie ... and the sandwiches and wraps were a bit on the smallish side. They did have a couple of specials that we missed (didn't see the board) that were a bit better value for the dollar. And I don't mind paying more for smaller, high quality portions. This turned me around on the Tropical Smoothie franchise as a whole, and it will probably be our go-to stop if we need to grab a bite to eat before heading south. read more

Not what I was expecting. Not like other stores this one you have to ask for napkins and forks even if you ordered a bowl they didnt put it in anyone's bag and my quesadilla was not cooked right and barely any cheese.... customer service was ok they just take forever read more

I came in this morning for a cranberry truffle smoothie. First of all I was told they don't have happy hour?? I showed my military ID & my total was still $5 and some change when the discount makes the total less than that. I didn't argue & proceeded to pay. I waited for my smoothie and when I tasted it, I thought it was too sweet & didn't have any white chocolate but still manageable to drink. The more I drank it, I realized I could not finish it so I returned to the store for them to remake it. I told the cashier my problem with the taste and white chocolate & she told me there was some in it but they'd still remake it for me. It took 2 seconds but that's only because they poured my super sweet smoothie and some chocolate into the blender and gave it back to me. Now I had an extra sweet smoothie with added chocolate that was super runny. I didn't want to cause havoc so I left. It's not hard to NOT mess up the smoothie. If a customer complains about the taste of a smoothie don't be lazy..... just do better & make it over. read more
