Decided to try this place it’s pretty good we just got 2 normal smoothies we will have to go back to try the food! Free smoothie on the receipt if you download the app is very nice!

This place and brand new and I’ve came twice! The manager is incredibly kind! I’ve witnessed him communicating with his new staff and he is always encouraging and helpful. Opening a new store has to be a lot of work and these people are doing it well! When I ordered a sandwich and it didn’t have all of the ingredients he insisted on making me another even when I was fine. I’ve always loved Tropical Smoothie Cafe so I’m glad it’s in our local community now!

Tropical smoothie is one of my favorite places and I frequent the Ames location when I am in uni. When this store opened I was very excited, but have been disappointed time and time again. (I typically go through the drive-thru so this may just be relevant to that.) On one of my first visits I was given smoothies with no labels, the wrong food, and had three separate people handing me things through the window. I have had my food messed up, not received parts of an order that are supposed to come with menu items, and I have been given the wrong smoothie on multiple occasions. Today I was given a smoothie with banana, which I don’t eat and was not what I ordered. I would like to trust that I will be getting EVERYTHING that is included in the description of what I order and be given the correct items, but every time I have to correct them or ask for something that they forgot. I will keep going, but I just wish there was better coordination with the drive-thru.

Nice newer franchise. Food and drinks taste great, are reasonably priced and healthy! We will definitely return for more. Staff was friendly and helpful. Store was clean. Bathrooms were clean.

The smoothies tasted very good. They were smaller than expected and more expensive than they should’ve been.

Best fruit smoothie I have had. Good option for a light healthier bite to eat. Everything is always fresh

Ok, but why say you’re open until 9 if I show up at 8:30 and the girl tells me they already shut everything down? Disappointed!
