"the Peanut Butter Dream smoothie is so delicious and fresh <3"
"The bowl is great. Could be a much bigger portion for the price. Overall, very fresh and well made. The matcha latte is smaller than I expected. Paid $10+ for a large drink. This is a small drink. It barely tastes like matcha, more milk flavor. There's no strawberry flavoring in it which I paid extra for. It's a bit disappointing as two items were over $40 for me. "

Will definitely be ordering again"
"This was my first experience ordering from The Tropical Cafe, and I was looking for something healthier, which they certainly delivered. It was also my first time trying the PB Flatbread and the Chia Banana Boost smoothie. Both were fantastic! The flavors were excellent, and everything was nicely assembled and packaged. I wholeheartedly recommend The Tropical Smoothie Cafe and will definitely be placing more orders in the future, as well as informing my coworkers and friends about how wonderful this place is."
