Tropical Smoothie

The lines move pretty slow here but that might be because I always come in the middle of lunch rush! Other than that my order is always correct and the good is always yummy!

The food always tastes great, the service is so-​so, but the wait time is insane. I’ve been here a dozen times in the last few months. One time I walked in, stood in a line that was out the door, and ten minutes later I realized the line wasn’t even moving. I had to leave without getting anything. Another time, I ordered within a minute or so of walking in because there was no line, but there was no where to stand to wait for the smoothie because there were at least 10 other people waiting.
Average smoothie wait time: 20 minutes. Average food wait time: 10 minutes.

Anthoine ally dharini were all very awesome!!! The food was awesome and they we’re awesome :)

I have shopped at three separate locations in the past two days. My first stop I was at the Fordham Drive location off of Kempsville and Indian River. I had the Lean Muscle and it was spot on. but the wait was about 10 minutes. I did get to use a coupon that saved me $ 3 on the shake. The second location was at the corner of Kempsville and Volvo, the staff was friendly and there was absolutely no wait. I had the same smoothie but I had to pay full price at $ 5.99. The third location was today near the Lynnhaven Mall. I had the peanut butter blast with whey protein and flaxseed. Once again I got to use a coupon for the free add-​in but they had a problem breaking change. I love stopping by for a smoothie but I am not a big fan of their expensive prices. Their food is pretty good as well, unfortunately for me, that will have to wait a few weeks.

I’ve gone to this location twice now and I’m ready to write a review. The food and smoothie tastes great, my biggest and only issue is how long it takes. I always order Chicken Pesto Flatbread and a Hawaiian Breeze smoothie for lunch. Twice, I’ve spent my entire lunch time on waiting for my food. Today it took them 20 minutes to make it. The smoothie came out in like 3 minutes, there were two girls making them and like three people in the back making food. I just don’t understand why they take so long. It’s just frustrating. Like one of the comments mentioned the place itself is in this weird, what looks like abandoned shopping center. First time when I went looking for it again I wasted 30 minutes looking for the place. They need to make a bigger sign or something! In all, food tastes good (but it doesn’t matter on the «cooks» back there, everything is premade, they just need to put it together and slide it through the grill) so if you have extra 20 – 25 minutes for your lunch then great, but if you’re like me, you will get your food and then will have to shove it down on a way to work! Just disappointing…

This seems to be a forgotten TroSmo :(The shopping center as a whole is pretty dead. but at least there’s TONS of parking!
Throughout the years the prices seem to have gone up a lot for the smoothies, but it’s still a rather large drink so $ 5 for one isn’t highway robbery or anything. Service here was pretty quick, but then again, there weren’t a lot of customers either. They also have add-​ons like protein (soy, whey, and pea???), vitamins, oats, etc etc for 99c each I believe. Overall, Trosmo is my preferred smoothie shop and as long as they never stop making my favorite Sunrise, Sunset smoothie then I’ll be a customer for life!

TSC is my go-​to quick lunch (even though I wish they would offer their smoothies in smaller sizes) & this location has to be my favorite one in Virginia Beach.
The place is kept clean and service is pleasant & very accomodating. I was really sad when tropical smoothie revamped their menu and took out my favorite flat bread (peanut butter banana crunch), but I took a chance and asked if they could make it for me…& they did!
I also tried their tropical fish tacos, and they were pretty decent for a chain. Their chicken pesto is always a good, safe choice. I highly recommend their new spinach & kale smoothie (w/​Splenda). It’s nutritious and very yummy!
