Tropical Smoothie Cafe - Columbia

This is by far the BEST Tropical Smoothie Cafe in the area! The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the smoothies are full-bodied and flavorful—very different from some other locations where they can be a bit diluted. Don’t just come for the smoothies; you definitely need to try their wraps too. I’ve tried several, and they are all delicious, generously filled. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I frequently order the Sunrise Sunset with whey protein. I appreciate being able to enjoy a piece of fruit alongside it. Additionally, I love that they let you select your preferred sweetener.

Additionally, the food portion sizes consistently disappoint. They tend to overstuff the dishes with lettuce while skimping on dressings, proteins, and other ingredients, often leaving them in very small amounts. I’ve had much better experiences at the Harbison location, so this one has significant room for improvement. I won't be returning.

I stopped by to get a smoothie with my friends after an afternoon of shopping. I ordered one of the mocktail smoothies, but it was overwhelmingly mango-flavored. I'm not sure if it was the ingredient ratio or if mango just has a strong taste!

Normally, I’m satisfied with food and service but today my sandwich was made wrong and I drove all the way home and had to drive back. No apology handed me my food like it was my fault and the chicken was cold like it wasn’t cooked long enough.
