I am here just about everyday. Under new ownership and the new owner has stepped it up. First, I have to give a shout out to my Girls, they take care of me everyday and do it with a smile every time. The new owner has made great improvements to not only the Establishment, to the entire Restaurant. Much needed upgrades have been made and he plans to make it even better. I wish the new owner great success and to my Girls, I couldn't make it through my week without you! Thank you! Chelsey
I love Tropical Smoothie Cafe, BUT I WENT TWICE. There were 3 ladies (I want to be specific) I ordered one smoothie with coconut, pineapple and blueberries (I used to ordered that every time I would go to another Tropical Smoothie because I am highly allergic to Strawberries. But a this store the smoothie was terrible one sip of the smoothie and it tasted like the Fruits were old or the water was from the sink, I went back in two seconds later and they had to remake me THE SMOOTHIE again; JESUS HORRIBLE(AGAIN) I TOOK LIKE 3 more sips and I had a STOMACHACHE. The Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Downtown Sarasota is not WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY and most importantly your health. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Not to my fiancés peers from Ringling College or mine.

Worst service I’ve ever experienced in a tropical smoothie. I used to go to the North Port location all the time when I was working in that area. Ordered ahead for curbside here, notified the staff I arrived and 10 mins later nobody brought my food out so I go inside and both employees are on their phone. One of my wraps was supposed to have no cheese, it had cheese so had to throw that away when I got home. Also, the wrong chips were given to me as well. Terrible service and incorrect food.

Terrible service. Drive thru with only two cars in front of me took 14 Minutes just to get to the window. I paid, young girl disappeared for another 3 minutes. Did not even apologize for the wait. Never again.

My daughter and I went to this cafe and brought two wraps and two smoothies. First off, the smoothies were not appropriately blended every couple of sips, there would be chunks that would block the straw. The wraps went to the trash. They were practically cold, and my wrap was missing ingredients. I frequently go to Tropical Smoothie, and, unfortunately, this is the first time they have disappointed me. I was hungry and looking forward to this meal. I think this smoothie location needs to provide better services or change its name to McDonald and I'll be less disappointed with the service.
Was my first time very nice staff nice and clean and cool

We were visiting Sarasota and I had to have a smoothie from a local Tropical Smoothie franchise. We got 2 fruit smoothies that were 100% not edible. Horrible taste and so watered down. We spent almost 20.00 on those an a Thai Chicken Wrap. The wrap tasted ok, but was more of a super fat burrito that fell apart when you bit into it. Everything went into the trash except for the bag of chips that was initially a apple in spite of ordering chips. Had to return to the store to swap that out. Stay clear of this store.

If you want the 3rd degree when you walk in, burnt food and literal ice with fruit backwash blended together this is the place for you. Have given the place many chances, Tropical Smoothie is not cheap so it is upsetting to be given this quality of food.

I placed a to go order. Got to the store to pick it up and the staff was dismissive pee usual. The cashier had the nerve to take some guy’s order when she was supposed to be giving me my TO GO order, seeing as l was there FIRST. It’s clear that they don’t fancy black people at this location and l will not be back!
