Tropical Smoothie Cafe

I don’t know why I even bothered to try out another TSC. If you are a smoothie lover I guess this is the place for you but if you’re just going for the food. please keep looking. The chipotle chicken club flatbread was appropriately spicy but so ridiculously salty. Salt is a seasoning folks. it’s meant to season, not to be the ONLY flavor one tastes. Gag. I guess they want you to eat their food then buy a smoothie to dilute the saltiness. Next time, I’m gonna keep on driving.

Love these smoothies & the food is pretty good too.
They have a large selection of smoothies, to which you can add things like protein boost or immune boost. Many of the smoothies have banana so if you don’t like banana your selection is significantly less.
I always get the Very Berry Green Tea smoothie, I love it. I’ve tried others but this is my fav.
The food is mainly healthful ingredients but the calorie counts are much higher than you’d assume. The sandwiches aren’t stuffed, more like what you’d make at home versus the portion size you’d get in a deli.
The sandwiches are yummy. Try the banana, peanut butter, honey & granola flatbread, so good.
Price: the smoothies are huge, filling & around $ 5. The food is a bit over priced for the portion size.

I’ve seen TSC for many years but never had the cohones to walk inside and see what this place is all about. So the bodyguard calls me up a few weeks ago and says, «yo son let’s meet at that deli smoothie place on the corner of 25 and 83». I was like «the smoothie place? really? it’s good?» He says, «yeah son it’s aite, I think you’ll like it»…so we went.
I ordered the Hawaiian Breeze smoothie because it said it had 179 calories (24oz) and was 45ish grams of carbs and all natural. Yeah. Not quite… it was 380 calories and like 90something grabs of Carbs because I didn’t get the «Splenda» version and I got the «turbinado» version. Overall the smoothie seemed healthy and was filling however I’d much rather spend 90g of carbs eating a cheesecake from the cheesecake factory or on other fancy desserts and not a damn smoothie.
I may go back if I have a honkerin’ for a smoothie I can’t make at home or a quick cold refreshing twist. Why so much sugar & carbs? ugh.
