Kids and adults alike look forward to a bite to eat or a smoothie at this spot in Belle View Shopping Center!
The smoothies are delicious at Tropical Smoothie Cafe, obviously. They offer classic smoothies, as well as those packed with superfoods for an added healthy boost. There are a variety of supplements to add to your smoothie, which have different health benefits, and a great selection of kids smoothie options as well. Their menu is diverse, but they are also flexible and you are welcome to make substitutions. I love the Orange Ginger Glow with mango, fresh ginger, green apple, pineapple, carrot and orange juice, while my little ones love the Lil' Limeberry with strawberries and lime, and the Jetty Junior with strawberries and banana.
What you may not realize is that the food menu is also delicious. It is not huge but has something for everyone. They have flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas, and sandwiches as well as healthy bowls and a kids' menu. They add special items fairly often, but the classic Chicken Caprese Pressed Sandwich is my go-to.
Their side options include fresh fruit, a variety of chips, and also a kale and apple slaw.
This is a great stop after a hike on the Mount Vernon Trail near Belle Haven, or a visit to Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve. It's also really close to the trails of Mount Vernon District Park, as well as Belle View Elementary School Playground if you happen to be there during non-school hours. If you'd rather avoid Old Town, this is a short drive into Virginia after a visit to Jones Point Park.
