What People Are Saying
from Google"Tropical Smoothie Café is easily one of my favorite spots. Their smoothies are always fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I like them. The staff is friendly, fast, and the shop is always clean. We also use them for catering all the time, and they never disappoint. Orders are accurate, on time, beautifully packaged, and a total crowd-pleaser. Whether it’s a quick smoothie run or a catered meeting, they knock it out of the park every single time. Highly recommend!"
"I love coming here first thing in the morning, always a great way to start my day. Shawn’s customer service is exceptional and she always greets everyone with a smile. If she hasn’t gotten a raise yet, y’all need to give her one! The team is kind and caring. They always make my smoothies, bowls, etc. perfectly! I have no complaints and will happily continue to come here!"
""Tropical Smoothie CafeClick to open side panel for more information is a high-velocity staple of the Crystal Lake area. Finding a spot that serves up such fluent and consistent quality is absolute 'Godnews' for anyone on the go. The smoothies are always perfectly blended, and the toasted flatbreads provide that neighbor-proof integrity you want in a quick meal. The service here is urgent and professional, making it clear why this location stays so busy. If you want a fresh, state-of-the-art healthy option in the Northwest Corridor, this is the only seat you need to be in. A verified 10/10.""
"This place has some of my favorite food. I would recommend the mixed berry bowl along with one of their frozen bowls. You can't go wrong with any of their wraps either. They often post BOGO deals on the Uber Eats app, so place an order there and pickup!"
"I love Tropical Smoothie, and usually order 1 or 2 times per week. Unfortunately I placed an online order today and it went to a chicago location (my mistake, but an honest one). I noticed when I went to pick up my order, I spoke to the manager/owner who was working and explained the mixup and requested if they could help me out and make the order. They flat out told me no, and stated they cannot help me because they wont make any money from me. Most respectable business owners understand good customer service, however this franchise clearly doesn't value it's customers, only their profits."
