Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Oberlin Road in Raleigh blends smoothies to order and turns out wraps, flatbreads, quesadillas and Tropic Bowls. The menu is built for a quick meal, and a group with four different appetites can usually all find something they want.

Breakfast gets real attention here, with high-protein wraps, flatbreads, smoothies and bowls meant to carry you through the morning. The room is bright and casual, the sort of stop you make between errands, and a good share of the counter business is takeout.
