Tropical Smoothie Cafe — Restaurant in Dearborn

1st mistake when I walked through the door that it smelled so bad that my dad left to wait in the car for me because he couldn't stand the smell. I've been to other locations before and they don't smell bad!!!! I gave my order and waited for my smoothies... 5 minutes later a regular I think comes in gives her order sweet talks to the employees and bam! Within the minute she gets her smoothie when I've been watching behind the counter and they hadn't even started making mine!! And than when (the very nice, knew what she was doing) employee named Jamie props to her because she knows the place in and out asked me if I was waiting for a smoothie??? When Kassidy the girl that took my order stared at me as if she never saw me before? Ok kassidy... Jamie made my smoothies and the one I ordered I said no banana but she didn't know so it wasn't her fault. Thank god I took a small sip because I'm allergic to banana. It it weren't for Jamie I would of called for management but I decided that I'll just stick to mc local cafe in Plymouth where it doesn't smell like...

While some argue that certain smoothies can be high in sugar (you can often ask for less turbinado or no added sugar!), the ability to customize and choose healthier options is a huge plus. It's a fantastic alternative to traditional fast food when you're looking for something lighter and more vibrant. The atmosphere is usually bright and casual, perfect for a quick stop or a...

This location is a little smaller and a little more inconveniently located than the east Dearborn one. If you usually place your order online or via the app like I do, be prepared to either still wait after your scheduled pickup time or to call in to make sure your scheduled order is ready at the time you request it because I've recently had an issue where they didn't start making my smoothies until I actually arrived at the store, and I had arrived expecting that the smoothies were already made!

Other than that, I enjoy their smoothies from time to time, especially the acai berry boost and the paradise point. I don't really go here too often because honestly, the smoothies are kinda pricey for what you can make with fresh fruit at home on your own but it's definitely great for when you're in a time crunch and they always seem to have some sort of promotion going on especially if you have an...
