Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Alexandria

I was excited to try the new Tropic Bowls from Tropical Smoothie, as the pictures advertised online looked delicious, and it was a good way to switch up my normal smoothie order. I ordered the Green Dream Yogurt bowl with no coconut, no honey, and pineapples instead of blueberries, as I thought the pineapple would taste better than the blueberries with the other ingredients listed. If I could go back in time, I would have stuck with the blueberries instead of switching to the pineapples, as my order came with canned pineapple chunks on top of it. Tropical Smoothie advertises itself as selling products with the freshest ingredients; there is nothing fresh about canned pineapple. I would have preferred not being able to substitute the blueberries at all rather than being served canned pineapple on an almost $10 yogurt bowl. I was highly disappointed by the quality and won 't be ordering this item again, unfortunately.

I rushed over to this location right before they closed because I had the urge to indulge myself this evening. I wasn't close to the location where I go regularly, but I was able to search this place out and it was only about fifteen minutes away from where I was. My favorite smoothie of all time from here is the Jetty Punch which comes in at less than 380 calories. It's a special smoothie blend of strawberries and bananas and it really has captured my soul! I went for it again, and the cool employee who was behind the counter took my order and had it prepared in less than five minutes! My second favorite smoothie is the Blueberry Bliss, but the is one is definitely up their with the calories, so I can't get it all of the time. A friend of mine always get the Mango Manic and brings it to work. One of these days I will go for that one!

My son left my credit card and they worked so hard to try and find me and finally were able to call me!! The sweetest and most helpful. Went way beyond a business... so refreshing to know there are good kind people out there. I will be loyal to Tropical Smoothie, always!!

This place is the equivalent of Jamba Juice on the West Coast, which is a pleasant surprise. I always remember getting the classic smoothies way back, and these five you the same sweet taste. Might even be too sweet for some people (they probably add sugar), but it's a great place for a refreshing drink.

Several smoothies to choose from, but also wraps, sandwiches, and salads. I got the island detox green because I'm on a health kick, and it was surprisingly good! Will be back to try their array of both healthy and healthy-ish options.
