Tropical Smoothie Cafe

I have Celiac. They were so kind and accommodating. They cleaned the blender with soap and water and they checked the ingredients in the smoothie I wanted. I felt comfortable and safe ordering here. Plus it’s delicious!

On my way to work this morning, I saw that Tropical Smoothie Café has finally opened here in Astoria. This is my first time in a Tropical Smoothie Café. I found out that they are a chain with hundreds of locations nationwide. Their newest location opened yesterday on busy Steinway Street next to Prince Tea House. It’s nice to have more healthy food options here. The menu offers made to order salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, wraps and (of course) smoothies. They also have vegan, gluten-friendly options and a kids menu. I ordered a Sunrise Sunset smoothie and an All American Wrap. The Sunrise Sunset smoothie is made with strawberries, pineapples, mango, and orange juice. It was really refreshing, slightly sweet and tangy, thick, and delicious. Their regular size is pretty big, and I had trouble finishing this. I thought it was a good bargain for $4.99. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel the same about the All American Wrap which consisted of eggs, bacon, cheddar and mozzarella. It was also $4.99 and it tastes fine the portion was kind of small. I would probably skip their Breakfast options and stick with other items like the flatbread which looks amazing. I’m planning on trying that on my next visit. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Their recommendation of the Sunrise Sunset smoothie was spot on. They are giving out vouchers for a Buy One Get One Free on any smoothie or food item. Make sure to grab one by the registers.
