COLOMBO'S SMOOTHIES

Great little spot on the hill top. There’s a great view and outdoor tables. The smoothies are a bit pricey but the ingredients have to get there somehow. The smoothies tasted VERY good and they were refreshingly cold on a hot day. Chef was not there so couldn’t try the food during my visit.

Smoothies are good, not great. They’ve got salads and sandwiches, which is nice. Prices are reasonable. The views are tremendous though on a nice day - and it’s honestly pretty darn convenient if you’re over near Annaberg Maho or Coral Bay.

The service was not good, the slight attitude from the sales staff is not cool. Then pushed expected gratuity when paying by credit card. Smoothies are ok but prepare for a long wait and I’m not talking Island time wait. They also did not have açaí bowls as they advertised. Do not recommend.

Good smoothies and even better grilled cheese. Really friendly staff too. Buuuttt....

I get "island time". However, when we pulled up there were six people between two parties waiting for their orders. We were asked to wait until their orders were filled before placing ours. Fine. 20 minutes later and we finally had a chance to request our two smoothies and one grilled cheese. At that point we were the only people there. Yet it took nearly a half hour for our two smoothies and one sandwich to be made. And there were two people working.

Nearly an hour wait for two smoothies and a sandwich is a bit ridiculous. I can't imagine what it's like when they're actually busy.

I'd love to be able to leave a 5 star review, the food is great, and there are some good options. They were a bit busy, but an 80 minute wait for 1/2 dozen sandwiches and smoothies is even long for island time. If you aren't in a rush it's a good option, and I would definitely recommend their grilled cheeses.

This makes me truly sad to say but avoid Columbo’s for smoothies.
Back story: I’ve owned in St John since right after the hurricanes. Driving around during our first visit, we came across Columbo’s Smoothies. We fell in love. We put up with it being cash only. We even let them coast on having wonky hours. They were that good. I never missed a visit when I was here. I brought my family and friends.
Today we drove up to Columbo’s which I was sad to find out on my phone on our way was closed on Monday. We drove past anyway and was thrilled they were open!! We looked at the menu and the woman working there informed us they only had three smoothies available because their kitchen was closed and they were shutting down. It was 3:20. They close at 4. I asked when I’d have to be there by to get the full menu. I was informed they start closing at 3. Strike 1.
My bf chose a smoothie and as I didn’t like any of the 3 offered, I asked for a water. Total? $16.00. Seriously.😑 Strike 2.
It took 20 minutes to get that one smoothie. Strike 3, you’re out!
I couldn’t have wanted to leave a good review more!! I am so sad. What used to be fun, vibrant and friendly with cheerful staff has turned into an overpriced tourist trap with sullen “groovy” tweens behind the counter. It’s a real loss.

Nice place but they hedge their bets on supplies for their food items. Shortly after I arrived (about 930 and didnt end up getting our order and leaving until 1030 ish) other customers showed up and tried to order food and most of the items were sold out.

The whole family really enjoyed the Cruz Bay smoothie.

Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good place while traveling through the center of the island.

I had previously panned this place because the woman who always seemed to be there was so rude. But the owner let Google reviewers that said employee wasn't there anymore, so we tried again. Night and day difference. The set-up is great, the service is friendly, and the food and smoothies are wonderful. If you've been turned off by past experiences, try it again. It's a totally different - and massively better - experience. Recommended.

Very overpriced, smoothies were not great. No flavor and fluffy. There were very few people there and the food took forever. Would not recommended. Otherwise nice atmosphere

Went despite the bad reviews, the smoothie recipes need to be upgraded, just didn’t have a lot of taste. Bagel was pretty good though!
