    Well the reviews are true! Not a good experience at all! Ordered through Uber eats and when I goy my smoothies they had hardly any flavor and were watery. Ordered the same flavor for both smoothies (blimey limey) and they both tasted completely differnt! The larger one was definitely mango with something. Very disappointed. Will not be ordering from this location again.

    This place gets pretty packed during lunch hour during the week. However, the service is actually pretty quick and has been consistently "good" each time. You can choose to have chips or fruit as a side when you order items from the food menu. Heads up: If you work in this plaza, they don't give the 10% plaza discount.

    About 15 customers waiting for orders.

    Dear Owner, Great Menu. Great Place. A couple of issues though... The kids working on the weekend hate working there. This is further compounded by the fact that it's a really popular spot on Saturday...Gym traffic, Shopping traffic. Lots of customers not enough motivated employees on the weekend cause long lines and lots of confusion. Also, the air conditioning is kept very low as in it's probably 80 degrees inside the store. According to the employees the owner doesn't want to spend too much money on air conditioning. Best time to go is during the work week first thing in the AM. Adults are working. Maybe higher an Adult manager for the weekend? Also, maybe hire a couple of folks who just work the online orders? A smoother operation will get more stars.

    Bahama mamma instead of strawberries get mango ;)

    This location is so fast and they are very nice as well ! I tried the Bahama mama but replaced the strawberry with mangos for the first time ! And it was actually amazing ! Thanks Beatrice !

    This is the lady who identified herself as an EMPLOYEE of this location. Who started a blatant argument with me over my smoothie order.

    I had the absolute WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! I ordered my food on the app on Sunday and went in to pick it up at the time it was to be ready. When I tasted my smoothie, I could barely taste any peanut butter, and asked them to remake it because I couldn't taste the peanut butter I had paid for. They didn't even respond when I told them that. They were going to take the one I had already tasted back, and I told them they probably didn't want to take it bc of COVID etc. and I threw it in the trash. There was a lady standing at the register ordering who became immediately involved with the conversation and I was confused. She started yelling at me and telling me I should have told them to put double the amount of peanut butter in the smoothie. As if I'm supposed to know as a customer how much peanut butter is put in the smoothie. And I said to her that I didn't even know why she was involved and speaking to me. She said she worked there. However she was not working there at that moment and should have shut her mouth and minded her business. She was yelling at me across the store and was very aggressive, angry and told me that I was wasting smoothies etc. It was AWFUL!!!! I asked her her name and she said I didn't need to know her name! And then proceeded to continue talking to me crazily. I will NEVER return to Tropical Smoothie and this chick needs to be fired!! There is no way she should be talking crazy to customers working clocked in or not!! She's very rude, unprofessional, and ignorant an ignorant bih, and needs to find a new place to work. I have never experienced anything like it. The customer is always right and she did this to me in a store full of other customers. I am the reason why you all have a job!!!! Paying customers pay your salary and your bills!!! She is the worst kind and a despicable person!! Her picture is attached. She's the thing in the red shirt. It's hard to believe you have people working for you all like this!!! I've told all of my neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family about this experience and they will not be returning and have shared with their networks too. This is the lady who identified herself as an employee who I was talking about and her picture!! She's the one in red. Also note, the smoothie tasted horrible!! Very watered down and no peanut butter flavor at all! I have filed a complaint and STILL have yet to hear from this business as this awful experience that I had and that was Sunday!! Today is Thursday! It says A LOT!! Avoid this place at all cost!! They are the worst and their quality of food AND service has gone to hell. And that employee in the picture who is an evil witch needs to be terminated ASAP behaving like that!!

    Don't go to this location. Very unsafe.

    I went in while wearing my mask. There were two young ladies working in there, one with a mask and one without. Why can't all employees wear their masks? I wore mine only so they can feel comfortable. Why can't they do the same? I placed my order and felt nervous the entire time.

    Stopped in for a quick treat and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The space is…read moreclean, modern, and inviting, with a fun and vibrant aesthetic that makes it a nice spot to sit and enjoy your drink or take it to go. The ordering area is well organized, and everything from the tea options to the preparation station looked fresh and well maintained. I also appreciated the clear display of different tea bases, which made it easy to choose. We ordered a couple of drinks, and they were both refreshing and well balanced in flavor. Not overly sweet, which I always appreciate, and the presentation was fun--especially with the themed cups. The seating area is simple but comfortable, and the overall atmosphere feels relaxed. It's a great place to stop in whether you're running errands or just craving a good bubble tea. Overall, a solid spot for tea, boba, and or smoothie with a clean environment and enjoyable drinks. I would definitely return to try more flavors. Pro: Clean and modern designed restrooms Con: The napkin dispensers were empty.

    Service-wise, probably one of the worst Kung Fu Tea places to go. I was there on March 22 around 6…read morePM, and the young ladies behind the counter were quite rude. We ordered a piña colada drink, and when it didn't taste right and I told them it was chalky, they laughed amongst themselves and responded, "Well, we followed the recipe card." When I noticed my friend still wasn't drinking it, I went back to the counter and asked if it was possible for it to be made with less powder. When we got the new drink back, it was the same problem, if not worse, and we were told they could not refund it. No other option was offered, not even a different drink. I have been to plenty of other Kung Fu Tea shops, and if there has ever been an issue with my drink order, pearls, or anything, they are more than willing to fix it or offer a new drink. I am unsure why this one and its employees could not.

    Representing 2023 & 2024 in alphabet series, K is for Komma Tea. I didn't have a K place for 2024…read morethat I hadn't reviewed, but I visited the Komma Tea at Potomac Mills twice. Both times I had 5-star Komma Tea & 5-star Pokerea (see my Pokerea Yelp review from June 12, 2025) in the food court for dinner. Komma Tea is not in the food court, a bit of a walk in this big mall, but worth it! There are a couple of locations, but I went to the one with a bit of an inside area with kiosks for ordering. October 2023: The first time I tried Komma Tea was on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. I had work travel to Caroline County, VA. On the way back I got a movie on my AMC A-List at AMC Potomac Mills, then walked around the mall & debated what I was going to eat for dinner, there was still traffic getting back to MD and would've been 9 before getting home, and looked at the food court and decided to try the Poke place, Pokerea, but went to Komma Tea beforehand. They were efficient as I watched them make the drink. This is the best bubble tea I've had in the DC area, which is funny because Pokerea in the food court was the best Poke I've had in the DC area! In summary, Potomac Mills is great! September 2024: Coincidentally, the other time I visited was a Wednesday too. My girlfriend & I were traveling back from Myrtle Beach, SC on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. We got to the mall in time to eat dinner before the movie we wanted to see with a little bit of time to spare to walk around the mall in addition to simply eating. I told her how great Komma Tea & Pokerea was. Everything was just as great as I remembered, and she thought both were great too. If I'm back down that direction, I'd definitely be back at Komma Tea.

    Stopped by Komma Tea at Potomac Mills and got the Thai Tea. I actually really liked the drink -- it…read morewas made with real tea, not powder, which makes a huge difference. I did 75% sweetness and that was just right for me. I feel like anything more would've been way too sweet. The ordering process is self-serve through a kiosk. You pick your drink, add boba, adjust the sweetness -- the usual. At checkout, it even prompts you to leave a tip, which I thought was a little odd considering there's no real interaction happening at that point. Speaking of interaction... the customer service was seriously lacking by 1000. There was a young lady working when I came in. She clearly saw me standing there at the kiosk, but didn't say a word. I had to speak to her twice before she finally responded, and when she did, she looked at me like I was the problem. Definitely not the warmest experience. The drink came out fast, but a heads up -- it's easy to accidentally skip the boba option on the screen. It's not super obvious, so pay attention if that's a must-have for you. Overall, the drink was good, but don't expect much in the way of customer service.
