5 Shawn was so incredibly helpful and kind to us. My friend was feeling sick and our interaction with him made her day so much better. This location is so much better than Greensboro. If you have the chance, DO NOT HESITATE TO COME TO TROPICAL SMOOTHIE IN BURLINGTON NC!!
5 Dropped in today for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The smoothie was great, the chicken pesto flatbread was done right and the employees seemed to actually be enjoying their jobs! I’ll be back!
4 Great service from the time we pulled up to order to the time I received my pomegranate plunge. I knew what I wanted so it wasn't an issue but the menu lights were out. Overall great visit and I'll drive from Graham again.
4 This Tropical Smoothie Café location is super neat and well-kept, making for a great experience as soon as you walk in. The staff was friendly, and service was quick and efficient. I ordered the Peanut Butter Cup smoothie with whey protein, and it was absolutely delicious! The blend was smooth, creamy, and had the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter. The added protein mixed in well without any weird texture, making it a great choice for a post-workout treat or just a satisfying snack. Overall, I had a great visit and will definitely be coming back for more smoothies. Updated Review for Tropical Smoothie - 2/27/25 I have to bring my rating down a star because of a recurring issue with my orders. I always get the Peanut Paradise with whey protein after my workouts, but lately, they’ve been giving me the wrong smoothie. It’s frustrating, especially when I’m looking forward to my usual post-workout treat. Consistency is key, and unfortunately, they’ve been slipping in that department. Hoping they can get it together because I really do enjoy their smoothies when they get it right!
5 The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly and approachable. My husband had ordered a peanut butter bowl with no cacao nibs, and they were still added to the bowl. I brought it back in and the staff immediately remade the bowl correctly and apologized for the mishap. Service was very fast, and our bowls were wonderful! I got the açaí bowl just the way it comes.
4 I go to Tropical Smoothie Burlington location almost every single day and get the same thing. I love their food from there. But every now and then my flatbread will be stone cold when I pick it up. I'm not talking about it got cold while it was waiting for me to pick it up I'm talking cold like it just came out of the refrigerator cold . I usually get food before I go to work and don't have time to go back and complain and get them to remake it or heat it up. Today it happened and I've tried to call the store and all I got was a message that the mailbox was full no one picked up the phone. That's a little frustrating. And I love their sweet potatoes and lately they're not cooked all the way through and they're a little crunchy.
4 First time at this location. The girl who took my order was great very attentive and friendly. I will say that the amount of employees that were behind the counter you would expect your food and smoothies to come out in a timely manner. The flatbread was great and very fulfilling.
Many guests enjoy their fresh smoothies like the Peanut Butter Cup or Pomegranate Plunge, along with savory options such as the chicken pesto flatbread.
