Tropical Smoothie Cafe

This place has good food and smoothies. My favorite is the chipotle chicken flatbread. Their island green smoothie and jetty punch smoothie are delicious. They give a lot for the smoothies, which is great. When you get jetty punch, you can get it in a kids size which is good because the regular size is a lot. There’s only a few smoothies that can be ordered as a kids size and jetty punch is one of them!

This location is always busy, but the line generally moves quickly and orders are pumped out within a few minutes. I usually get the Avocadolada smoothie and it seems to vary in taste depending on which location you go to. That being said, I think this location makes it the best and I can usually depend on their consistency with each visit. The employees are always really nice as well. Parking is always available but I feel like their lot just seems a little more cramped vs others.
PS– sign up for their fan club and every once in a while you’ll get a coupon via text. I got one yesterday for half off any smoothie, valid only at participating locations.

My most frequented TSC location and it’s always so, so busy. Despite what seems to be an all around the clock rush hour, they never get my order wrong and always have it ready in a timely manner.

Fast service despite the lunch rush! We were getting takeout this trip.
We both went with the smoothie and half sandwich combo. We had the strawberry limeade and avocolada smoothies and club sandwich.
Smoothies were incredible. Sandwiches tasted great as well although a half was pretty small.
Service had a slight hitch though and I’m attributing it to the rush. It was nice that they came from behind the counter to bring us our order, but it was more of a chuck and run.
Nonetheless, would definitely order from here again.

Idk what yall are complaining about but I like the smoothies, its kinda pricy but I mean, its smoothies, if you dont like you can go and lick these.

Jamaican jerk chicken wrap is my all time favorite. If you like spicy, try. Acai berry boost with it. Mango magic for the summer season. Fruits are seasonal therefore if you get summer fruit item during winter, it just taste likr ice.

I’ve been to this location at least a half dozen times. It’s not in an area I frequent that much, but it works great when I am.
Location it self off of Princess Anne is great, the parking lot not so much. It is congested and seems haphazard when busy. The lot was clean on my visit and walks clear. The sign for this TS is different, I like it.
Not busy on a Friday evening around 6:30 and was immediately waited on. Order placed for a kids cheese quesadilla combo as is usually the case for my son and request it be lightly toasted. The male staffer was pleasant.
The dining room clean and the restroom utilized and was clean with proper supplies.
Food out quickly and was cooked correctly. The Jetty Punch out at the same time. Unfortunately the smoothie was off and lacked flavor, but I decided to deal with it since we needed to hurry out.
Based on several experiences I can comfortably provide a 4. However, with the issue on the smoothie it was a 3.5 visit. I will be back to this location.

I usually come in here before work to start my day off with a delicious smoothie. Everyone is very kind and of course the smoothies are sooooo good. They even have happy hour upon opening, I believe.

Smoothies are always great; can’t complain.
The prices have gone up by a maybe a quarter? But the smoothies are still good. The sandwiches are good; my favorite is the club. If you don’t like spicy stuff, don’t get the Thai sandwich or salad — it’s spicy. (To me anyway.)
The place is always clean and employees are nice. Not much else to say.
Oh, maybe that my favorite smoothie is the «Beach Bum with white chocolate instead of regular chocolate.»

The setup of this one is absolutely terrible. You walk in the door and you’re immediately in the backed up line. Which blocks the middle of the walk way. Then there is one table right next to it also in the middle of the floor. If there are more than about 5 customers in the building there is a massive traffic jam. And for some reason the dumbell gym nuts that go here don’t care at all that they’re in your way.
The food itself is pretty good. Nice to have a healthier option but it is EXPENSIVE. Especially kids menu. The kids wrap costs several dollars and is laughably small.
I won’t bring the kids back, it’s not a kid friendly place.

I’m pretty excited that they’ve changed the décor and setup in this place. Their new menu items are a hit as well! Snag a tasty slider while you’re sipping on your favorite smoothie. You won’t regret it!

Something about this location is off. Idk of its the management or costumer service but it seems everyone who works there doesn’t want to be there. I don’t see the point in spending $ 5-​$ 10 on smoothies when I can make it myself. So I’m writing for the every once in a while during school or during my breaks that I stop by here to get a quick bite. And because it’s out of other places in the 3 mile radius it’s one of the only restaurants that are considered «healthy.»
With that being said, I usually stick the same thing and do a switch-​a-​roo when they have season specials. Kiwi Quencher, Get up and Gogi, Island Green are my favorites. The indulgent smoothies are pretty good too. I really like the flatbreads and wraps. I’ve been getting the Jamaican Jerk Wrap since high school. The beans and spiciness hit the spot. The toasted sandwiches are pretty big and filling. Overall, the food and smoothies here are pretty decent.

I go to this one & the one on lyhavenn Rd. Both are great with customer service with helping with whatever questions I have & are super nice! I love the extra shots u can add overall great place for breakfast, lunch, a snack to tie u over & great in the summer time! Gift cards are a friend of mine also =P

I would have liked to give it four stars. When my wife ordered from here they seemed to forget that mornings are half price smoothies. When she asked the manager about the problem she confirmed that the cashier overcharged her. And then told my wife that the cashier wasn’t trained right, um OK… why would you admit to not training your staff. Whats up with managers these days anyhow… really hope this isn’t a sign of more bad things to come I really like this place!

I love this place! I always get a lean machine with a little dark chocolate and extra strawberries instead of bananas. They always sanitize my blender because I am allergic to bananas. Dont even have to ask! So far I have only tried there turkey bacon ranch… replace the turkey with chicken. Its amazing. Everything here is great but the prices. Not much you can do about that. People are friendly and store is clean.

I come here a couple times a week for the early bird specials. Love the peanut paradise smoothies.
Place looks great since they remodeled.

This has become a regular early morning stop for me. The outside of this store doesn’t much resemble other Tropical Smoothies, but the inside is recognizable. Staff is reasonably courteous and accurate, although not overly friendly. There have been a couple times, also, that I have really felt they were moving at their own speed, which was way slower than mine!
I generally get the Health Nut, the Island Green, or the Triple Berry Oat. All are calorically reasonable if you avoid the sugar. I’m not crazy about artificial sweeteners so some days I just request they not add sugar OR splenda. Because I go early morning, I take advantage of a pricing special. If you get a smoothie before 9 a.m. at this location, you get two dollars off your smoothie. Not a bad breakfast for three bucks and some change.

Recently remodeled, and is my favorite tropical smoothie in Virginia Beach! They carry my favorite smoothie kiwi citrus green tea. The good is also good as well

Good smoothie but it seems like they have one size — massive. That’s probably a lot of calories. Healthy calories, but they’re still calories.
We also had a couple of wraps. I chose the Buffalo Chicken because I like spicy. My mom chose the veggie and specifically asked for it to be not spicy. So when she had to send it back because it was still spicy, we found out that the default cheese is a pepper jack. Uh, what? Anyway, they were fine to remake the sandwich with cheddar instead.
And just so you know, this seems to be the hangout for the yoga pants and spandex crowd.

I am enjoying a great smoothie and flatbread as usual. The only thing about this spot is that they don’t offer military discount like others do. That’s why I only gave then 4 stars.
