Reviews for Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Birmingham, AL
My son introduced us to this little niche restaurant and while it does seem very... 'millennial' for lack of a better term with... its look and young teens working behind the counter. Shock and amaze, their service (which could a tad better) was good and thefood was simply great! We even had an online order issue once and they did fix it at their own expense for another location, soanother time we did get food at that other location another day. Their food is healthy with an interesting menu. There issomething for everyone here even with the small menu! And the smoothies are the real treasure here! Always come back. With theever increasing prices in fast food, if you're going to spend $8 on yourself for a lunch try Tropical Smoothie Cafe. You won'tregret it! Read more
There is a really nice staff here. I?ve eaten here twice in the past week and the food/smoothies were really good
On August 21, 2022 my boyfriend and I attended Tropical Smoothie Cafe where we experienced racism and unwelcoming gestures from... the manager. We ordered a smoothie from inside the restaurant around 5:45 pm and decided to sit down as we wait. There wereother customers inside that were loud and rowdy who also brought in food from another restaurant but nothing was said to them.We were the only African American customers inside the restaurant at the time. After we got our smoothie I went to use therestroom and my boyfriend sat in the dining area to wait on me. While my boyfriend was waiting on me, the manager walked up tohim and stated how ?they were about to close and that they were short staffed.? He basically asked us to leave shortly afterthe other group of customers willingly left, this was around 6:00 pm. As we walked out, new customers proceeded to walk in andthey continued to take their orders. The website also states that they close at 8:00 pm. They made us feel very uncomfortableand unwelcome. I will NEVER go back to the Tropical Cafe Smoothie on Inverness Corners, Alabama. Read more
Very busy at 1:20pm on a Friday. Waited almost 25 min for two smoothies. I?m sure it was partly staffing issues, partly... lunchtime rush. Smoothies were alright?not huge on flavor/kinda flat. Expected a wow flavor but they were just ok. We didn?torder any food but it looked really good. Read more
I came during lunch hour. Mike was hustling on the register. It was busy, but he and the staff keep the line moving. My order... was unique because the item was no longer on the menu. Mike let me know that they no longer had that item on the menu but didthey have it on the register (their system is being updated). However, he talked to the staff in the back to see if they couldaccommodate me... And they did!!! ???????? Truly made my day, as I was doing a food run for coworkers as well. Always love theirsmoothies as well as wraps. Stellar service!! 6 out of 5 stars! Read more
When I was attending the college, went here for lunch or dinner all the time. They have the best smoothies around and use real... fruit unlike some other places nearby which use flavored syrups and powders. Went here today and it's just as good as Iremember. I like that they make your order fresh. Lots of tables and chairs inside and it's clean and friendly. I waitedabout 5 minutes for my smoothie and wrap and both were delicious! For the side item which comes with the wrap, I chose thejalapeno corn, yum! This is the spot to go if you're looking for a more healthy place to eat, the dining area allows you to sitdown and enjoy your meal during your break and to get away from work or school for a bit. The menu has lots of smoothies tochoose from, salads, sandwiches and wraps. Highly Recommended! Read more
Smoothies are amazing, food was very lacking in flavor. If I could split up the rating I would give then 5 stars for Avocolada... smoothie, 1 star for the Baja Chicken Bowl, and 2 stars for the Chicken Caprese Sandwich. The bowl had mostly iceberg lettuce,a few small pieces of chicken, fake avocados, and about 6 unseasoned black beans. It was very hard to eat. The Chicken Capresewas better but still had minimal flavor. The Avocolada was superb and would get that every day if I could. Read more
This is the slowest tropical smoothie I have ever went too! Please do not stop heading to work. Absolutely one older man behind... the counter! Keeping you on hold standing there.I would never go here again. Read more
