Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Writing this review as a warning for visiting any Tropical Smoothie. They DO NOT list any ingredients for their salad dressings on their website. Could not find it online anywhere either. Super frustrating. Not a smoothie person myself so was trying to find something to eat while with a group.

I have been to Tropical Smoothie several times and they never have the gluten free wraps. Save youself a trip.

Definitely NOT celiac friendly! Had a smoothie that stated that it was gluten free on the allergen list, and wound up having bad gastrointestinal problems within 1 hour.

Celiac friendly?

No

Friendly staff and lots of options

Beware, there are gluten free smoothies listed, but every time I have been here, I have been glutened. This place is definitely not safe.

Friendly staff, appeared clean inside. I enjoyed my experience and when I’m in the area again I will stop in.

I had a Supergreens Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, shredded Parmesan and tomatoes on Romaine & Spinach. You can substitute the chicken for turkey or bacon if you want and there are other kinds of cheeses too. I asked them to leave off the parmesan crisps cuz I didn’t know if those were GF and the dressing of choice is served on the side. It comes with a choice of side and are several GF options available. I had a Sunrise Sunset Smoothie (strawberries, pineapple, mango and OJ) which was super tasty. No stomach issues.

Real fruit smoothies are gluten free. A few of the other blends have ingredients that could be questionable, like oats, so we stuck to the simple fruit-only smoothies. Employees were helpful and willing to wash the blender again just to be extra careful.
