Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Upon walking into this fine establishment, customers are greeted with the over-​welcoming smell of 100%, pure electrical fire. It’s really a magical thing, always keeping my eyes just a’bouncin around the room, looking for what hazardous material will soon swallow up this sad building. So there’s that.
Following the invisible electrical fire, the next thing one would expect to be greeted by, would be a friendly face and a hello. False. I believe they setup their hiring booths outside of Hot Topic, hiring only high school girls who appear to have a 7 or higher rating of straight pissed off. I’ve even heard that if you arrive to Tropical Smoothie at the break of dawn each morning, you can catch a glimpse of the mythical 53 Foot Truckload Of Pissed Off that is freshly delivered on the daily. That could just be a rumor, but you better believe that I believe it. For example, the past two times I’ve been in here, I ask the register girl how her day is going and she’s just stared at me, no answer. I would equate the collective charisma off their staff to a half eaten waffle. Which I’ve also had better conversations with, in case you were wondering.
Next is the $ 6 deal on Tuesdays. Savvy customers, unaffected by angry robots, often take advantage of this deal. After we had endured the potential airborne biohazard a few times for this deal, the manager rudely pointed out that we only visit for the cheap deal and no other time. What a warm and welcoming soul he was. God bless you Craig (name changed for his protection). Here’s another thing though: the last three times I’ve got this deal, I’ve been charged three different prices, ranging $ 13 – 15. No upgrades, just the same exact two combos every single time. I’m starting to wonder if the electrical fire smell is their cash registers slowing melting into the slime they are.
Sadly, I will be back here for that God-​forsaken $ 6 deal. The food and the smoothies are actually delicious, which makes me sad for how many times I’ve compromised my own morals to return. If management ever reads this, please stop training your employees to be the most depressing people on the planet. A smile, a thank you, a welcome… these things go a long way. I’m not the first person to point out that your employees are rude. And I won’t be the last, unless you pretty much fire everyone. Which, if we’re lucky, that electrical fire will eventually do for you.

I visited Tropical Smoothie Café for my first and it will be the LAST time I visit. The female who took our order, who was apparently a shift leader, was very rude. She rolled her eyes and had a very bad attitude. She got our order wrong, which probably would have been made correctly if she’d read the order back like we asked her to do. She didn’t have a clue as to what dressings they had or what balsamic vinegrette is. She also couldn’t tell me what the drink choices were. They didn’t serve coffee or tea, yet had sweetners by the soda machine. The napkins were empty, which I mentioned to her but she didn’t even acknolwedge that I’d spoken. There was no cutlery available. I had to ask for utensils to eat a salad.
When I brought the smoothie back to her and told her it was incorrect, she act insulted, rolled her eyes, and said she made it like it was ordered and wasn’t going to do anything about it. Fortunately another worker came along and made the correct smoothie for us. The smoothie was for a four year old, and there was only one large size available. Four year olds won’t eat or drink what they don’t like.
I think that everything is way over-​priced. I ordered a casear salad and it was extremely chinsy. It had browned lettuce, a little bit of stale parmesean cheese, some baked chicken and tomatoes. The dressing was their homemade raspeberry vinegrette, which wasn’t bad, but looked awful. It looked like a neon pink crayon had been melted into a cup.
Needless to say, I will not be returning to any of the Tropical Smoothie Cafes.

Their smoothies do not taste as real as Jamba Juice or the ones at whole foods… They taste fake like they added something artificial to them… This is every time I go there. Their wraps are delicious though! :)

First time here and it stank so bad I just wanted to run, but I needed a smoothie first. I ordered a get up and goji and a acai berry boost. If this review was based on pure smell, it would have been a one star. Luckily the smoothies were really great so that bumped them up to three. Clean your stank!

Went into Tropical Smoothie Café this morning. The workers there are extremely friendly and very suggestive. Even saved me some money from what I originally came in to order. The cashier also suggested the chicken pesto flat bread which was simply fantastic and the Acai Berry Boost smoothie that is also amazing. And on top of that the service was really fast. Will definitely go back there again.

Went here when I was in South Tulsa running errands. It is in a good location surrounded by many places and there are not any other smoothie shops around it to compete with. I’ve been to a tropical smoothie before in another state, so going to the one in Tulsa was a first for me.
Smoothie shops in general are a favorite place of mine to grab something without sitting down to get food. The service here is quick and most of the workers are young high school/​college students. They also have food here so if you are just wanting a snack this is a good place to go and gran something. It will be a lot healthier than the fast food places that are close as well. Definitely worth a try if you are close and also have never been here beofore.

The flat bread sandwiches are delish!
