Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a Fast Casual restaurant with a tropical twist. At Tropical Smoothie we inspire a healthier lifestyle by serving amazing food and smoothies with a bit of tropical fun! It started on a beach in Florida. The calm gulf waters, friends enjoying games in the sand and a need for replenishment from the warm Florida sun. We started by blending fruits and vegetables together to create unique and refreshing smoothies.

And customers lined up for our tasty creations. Then in 1997, we opened our first cafe in Tallahassee, Florida. Guests now had a place to sit and relax while we made their favorite smoothies. Two years later, we added a range of wholesome food options to complement our smoothies, all made fresh. We started as a destination for flavor, and it’s a proud heritage that we continue today.

We are guided by a simple belief: when you eat better, you feel better. Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s menu boasts bold, flavorful smoothies with a healthy appeal, all made-to-order with quality ingredients. We find that real fruits, veggies and juices just taste better. Our toasted wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads and quesadillas are made to suit your individual tastes with quality meats, fresh produce and flavorful sauces.

Combine that with a fun, relaxing atmosphere - and unparalleled hospitality - and you can see why people return again and again for the Tropical Smoothie Cafe experience. Our mission is to inspire a healthier lifestyle by serving amazing food and smoothies…with a bit of tropical fun.
