Tropical Smoothie Cafe

I use to love this place. Literally use to buy a smoothie and a sand which here everyday ! They got a new owner probably a couple months back and since then I haven’t gone back. The smoothies don’t taste the same at all. Extremely disappointed in the place. Hopefully they hired new workers and taught them how to properly make a smoothie

Disappointed.
I usually stop here for a salad & smoothie when I am in the area (which is usually every weekend). I am allergic to cheese and don’t eat red meat, so I usually get the spinach salad, sub chicken for bacon and no cheese. The kids here are great and for the last few years my order was never a problem until today.
I did not get the entire order finished when this man (not the normal kids I usually see) started to tell me he how he «not supposed to sub the chicken» because of a «cost difference». I told him I do this all the time, then he questioned when the last time I had it done! and waited for me to give him a date!!!
(well gee, let me grab my day timer since I note all the times I come here and sub chicken for bacon on my spinach salad), like really???
Then he said he would do it this one time.
I told him to forget it, he just lost a
customer and left.
Did they change the management or something???
If you want a smoothie, I guess it will be fine; but if you need accommodations due to diet restrictions, go elsewhere.
Mel (ex-​customer).
BTW– other Tropical Smoothies are more accommodating. Gainesville Rocks! the owner of that store has happily accommodated my request and not once mentioned any thing about cost.
Front Royal– a word to the wise,
it is never in a business best interest to be a jerk to a customer.

Whoops. I got food. I like the smoothies typically, but we were trying to grab a quick bite. Not impressed. Their advertising mentions eating healthy, but there is no way the stuff covered in sweet sauces and cream sauces are very choice in the health conscious category. Back to this place– the staff was very nice and overall was a nice place to eat. We were the only ones there and there was no music or noise. Kind of boring. Keep it simple. Get a smoothie and get on with it!

I usually love coming here for the chicken pesto. It’s really good. I went there today and it tasted different. I really hope they aren’t using that chicken-​free crap in it. I couldn’t even finish it. Maybe it was freezer burned I don’t know. Wasn’t the best experience here. Next time I’ll ask before ordering.

Sooo good! Loved my totally turkey wrap and large smoothie! Can’t wait to go back again and try a different smoothie. Service was great and very helpful helping me make my first order.

Wonderful service! Stopped off the highway; what a great choice! I’m so happy with this experience! There was a teenage cashier who really was a too notch curator to the sandwiches and smoothies.

I’ve been here a few times so far and I have no complaints. The Blimey Limey smoothie is great — a combo of strawberry, pineapple, lemon, and lime. First time, I got it with the default turbonado sugar. Meh, but I don’t add sugar to tea, coffee, anything, so it was too sweet for me. Next time, I got it with half of the regular amount of Splenda, as the cashier told me that it is really tart and some sweetness helps. Halved splenda was decent but I’ll try it next without any sweetner. Just the fruit, please. They have an array of wraps and sandwiches — the southwestern chicken wrap was good. They have dessert smoothies and coffee smoothies in addition to the traditional fruit and healthnutty stuff. Oh, and the girls that work there are very friendly. Happy to have a healthful option in Front Royal for a quick lunch.

Best Tropical Smoothie I have ever been to (no lie) and I’ve been to about a dozen. The décor is the same as every other tropical smoothie, though it’s a little bigger than most. The staff is courteous and friendly and haven’t gotten my (somewhat complicated) order wrong once. The smoothies always come out just right, and the food is always top knotch. My favorite wrap is the early bird which can be really bad is made wrong, but the chicken is always tasty, and eggs are always firm but not dry, and the salsa tastes fresher at this one.
I’m so glad to have a little slice of nova in my back yard. I eat here like two or three times a week. :X

Ok, I have to write this, even at the risk of sounding like a smoothie snob!
While reading please keep in mind i am a HUGE fan of Jamba Juice, So i may be spoiled!
I tried the Rockin Raspberry and My husband had the Blimey Limey.
Neither one of us liked or finished even ½ of our drinks.
We found it strange that sugar (we choose splenda) was added. Doesn’t fruit produce enough sugar on its own?
All i could taste was the splenda making my drink way too sweet ;(
On a positive note the staff were extremely nice, patient and kid friendly! They even cut the straws so they were kid sized!
I have considered returning and asking for no splenda/​no sugar but, unfortunately i don’t think I will not be going back =(
I’ll just have to make my own until they build a jamba juice near me!

We have been here before and the food is very good as well as the smoothies. They have an extensive selection, and will readily customize your order for you. My wife loves the Blimey Limey with extra lime. My daughter ordered some smoothie that had Ghiradelli chocolate and asked if she could have the white chocolate instead. They gladly made the adjustments. I had. .. forget the name, but it had Ghiradelli chocolate and yogurt in it. My wife and daughter both loved theirs, while I thought that a regular chocolate shack would have been better. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad, I will just try something else next time. The one with strawberries and yogurt sounded really good.
