I enjoy going to Tropical Smoothie. It's a fresh new twist for this area, and is Caribbean themed. It's a smoothie based menu with simple and healthy ingredients and meals, which speaks volumes here. The food and smoothies are light and refreshing, especially when it's hot outside. The sauces and salsas are unique. They give ASU and military discounts, but I'm not sure about Howard College or senior discounts. They even have a kids menu. They also let you choose a side of either appleslaw, a fresh fruit, or chips. If you order a meal you can add a smoothie for less than what you'd pay for buying a smoothie alone. The prices are very reasonable. The portions are smaller than most places, but the smoothies are very large. If you want to lose weight and/or eat healthier this place is a great choice. They have a drive-thru as well. You can also count calories, as they appear on every menu. If you're watching calories pay attention to the smoothies, as they can range from 180 to over 700 calories each. They built the building from the ground up, so my only complaint is that they should've built on a larger lot to leave room for more parking and a bigger dining area. The dining area, parking lot, and drive-thru can fill up during lunch and...
Read moreSo me and wife get food from Tropical Smoothie either by drive thru or delivery via Doordash at least once a week. Generally everything is good, this time however is sadly not the same.

Due to the fact that our food was delivered, we couldn't just have the order corrected. I did call the Tropical Smoothie on Kickerbocker and reported the above stated, the lady only said "oh im sorry". As much as this Apology means, we still are missing our sides. Tropical Smoothie on Knickerbocker, please just read the damn orders and ensure that the orders are complete before sending the orders to families that are awaiting their PURCHASE. Step it...
Read moreTropical Smoothie Cafe is such a cute place with an amazing selection of smoothies and food. Their menu for smoothies offers basic fruity drinks, "superfood" drinks, which are smoothies that contain certain ingredients like chia seeds, protein, ginger, and kale, and kids drinks. Their food choices consist of various flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas, sandwiches, bowls, and sides. If I'm not mistaken, you can order most of the menu with vegan/vegetarian substitutes and options. If you're in a hurry, their drive thru is efficient and fairly quick. Overall a great place to eat or stop by for a drink. Although some complain that their prices are too high, I personally think it's worth it; no matter what you order, you get a whole lot of food that's healthy and...
