Came into Açaí Republic in Laguna Niguel and had such a great experience. Alejandro was the one helping me and he was honestly super genuine and friendly. You can tell when someone is naturally kind, he really made the visit feel welcoming and easy. The place itself is clean and has a nice relaxed vibe, and everything feels fresh. My bowl tasted great and the toppings were high quality. Overall, great service and great energy. People like Alejandro are what make you want to come back.

Went on a stroll with my toddlers and decided to stop in for a healthy refresher! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the friendliest girl who helped us by explaining the menu and making recommendations. Very spacious and clean space to sit back and enjoy something cold, sweet, and refreshing on a hot day ;)

Love, LOVE the Acai bowls. Service is fantastic and ambiance is amazing. The ladies and gents are fun, hospitable and very friendly. Easy peasy to order. No awkwardness and you will feel the love and care.

The ambiance is really relaxing. The service is great everyone is friendly and helpful. The açaí bowls were sooo refreshing on this hot day. The fruit was crisp and sweet. Everything tasted fresh. Definitely coming back!

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon after work. Felt extra warm today so an açaí bowl was an optimum choice. The so Paulo bowl is deemed the most popular, and that is what I went with. The bowl was spectacular. It was refreshing, sweet, cool and healthy, I also ordered the cheese bread. To get the full taste of the breads cheesiness, I would recommend eating it in small bites. The tables weren't really clean but it could have been after a busy shift. The decor seemed tropical and I did notice tables were big and chairs were comfortable. The service was friendly and made the food quickly.

Another gem on our quick trip to SoCal. Found this place after a day at the beach. Nice vibe inside, quick and friendly service. We ordered the Tahiti bowl- lots of plump and fresh fruit, refreshing and tasty açaí. We had fruit in every bite. One of the best acai bowls we've ever had. Well definitely bookmark this spot!

This is my second time here at this location. Bowls are fresh, delicious, and decent sized. Prices aren't cheap, but they're in line with other açaí bowl establishments. The two girls who were working that day were kind, sweet, and helpful. I needed some advice regarding the kind of bowl I wanted and they both helped. The massive screen you use to build your bowl can be a bit overwhelming, (as well as all of the different bowl options and add-ons) but once you get it, it's easy to use. They only take card, NO CASH IS ACCEPTED. The interior is decent sized and designed well. The ambiance is actually very nice. There's also plenty of outdoor seating for all of the shops around so if you prefer to go outside and enjoy the SoCal sun, which I did, that's an option. They don't have a bathroom inside the establishment, but there is one for any customer to use--you just need a key, and it's part of the entire business complex. It's located next door, so it takes about 20 seconds to get to here. I will definitely be back.

The Cali Bowl with chia pudding!
Jackie D.

Haven't had an acai bowl in a while so decided to stop by and fuel my body with something sweet and healthy before work. There were two other people inside when I arrived which was perfect cause there was no line. The woman behind the counter was very sweet and walked me through the steps and different options to build a bowl. I believe she was the manager and was genuinely very kind our entire interaction. I kind of panic ordered and said the first thing I saw. It was the cali bowl with a layer of chia seed pudding. For toppings I got all the fruit, coconut strips, and granola which made the bowl taste that much better. I sat down in one of the more comfortable chairs and enjoyed my bowl. I was thinking about that bowl my entire shift at work and will definitely coming back to try some more of their yummy acai bowl and other items on their menu.

Açaí bowl perfection! Not too sweet and very yummy- large is HUGE.  Probably meant for splitting but I gobbled the whole thing....

i always had this place on my to visit list and finally did yesterday…read more did not disappoint. actually will be visiting ther newport location because its actually closer to my gym/house. drinks taste a great as they look. not too sweet and you can actually taste the flavors. it was bliss. thanks to the staff so kind!

SERVICE - located in a big shopping complex…read more- plenty of parking available in lot - good amount of seating indoors and outdoors at at tables for up to four people - need to order at counter and then they call out your name when your order is ready - staff are very friendly and welcoming - depending on the time the order can take a few minutes to be made - ambiance good for a casual meal or snack MENU - smoothies, juices, and other refreshing treats - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - launch bowl (6/10): banana date coffee base topped with chia pudding, berries, granola, and cacao nibs. This one sounds like a decadent chocolatey treat with mocha flavors. I am not a huge coffee fan but wanted to try the mushroom blend and the chocolate protein that comes in this one. The coffee flavor is quite strong and there is a significant punch of caffeine so if you need something to wake you up the get this. My favorite part was the chocolate drizzle on top. The smoothie itself was very icy. I got multiple chunks of ice as I was scooping through the bowl. I am not sure if that is a one off occurrence or because of the nature of the ingredients. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes but I would get one of the fruitier bowls rather than this one.

Today was a good experience! I ordered my drinks through the app. The drinks were ready shortly…read moreafter my arrival (as planned). The drinks were delicious!! The young lady was pleasant and professional. The shop was very clean. 2 x Raspberry Riot 1 x Small (2 x $8.59) = $17.18 1 x Vanilla Whey Protein (2 x $1.00) = $2.00 1 x Immunity Boost (2 x $1.00) = $2.00 1 x Greenie Up (spinach & kale) (2 x $1.00) = $2.00 1 x Add Straw SUBTOTAL $23.18

Nekter has unfortunately been one of the more disappointing customer service experiences I've had…read morein the area. When I walked in, it took several minutes for anyone to even acknowledge me--no greeting, no "we'll be right with you," nothing. I arrived about 35 minutes before closing, which is more than enough time to make a juice and still close by 7, but the blenders and juicers were already "done for the night." The frustrating part is that the business itself is actually spacious, clean, and has plenty of seating for customers. They also offer a decent selection of grab‑and‑go items, which makes the experience even more surprising because the setup clearly supports people coming in up until closing. They're generally accommodating with substitutions, but they can be a bit stingy with higher‑value ingredients, which doesn't help justify the price point. As someone who previously worked in and supervised the Whole Foods Market juice bar down the street, we would never deny a customer a beverage during business hours. Cleaning a blender takes about 30 seconds, and it's part of the job until the doors are actually closed. It was disappointing to be turned away when the store was still open. For feedback, the team could have at least offered an alternative option instead of shutting down the interaction entirely. I understand most of the staff are likely high school or college‑aged and eager to clock out, but a little courtesy and effort go a long way. I haven't been back since, which is a shame because the space itself has potential.

My friend and I had just finished the West Ridge hike and were looking for somewhere nearby to grab…read morea coffee and sit for a bit to catch up. I found Milk & Honey Café on Yelp and it looked cute, so we decided to check it out. It's tucked into a shopping plaza but has such a charming little café vibe when you walk in. The service was quick and super friendly, which is always appreciated when you're fresh off a hike and just want caffeine ASAP. We both ordered iced Americanos and they were honestly perfectly smooth, strong, and exactly what we needed. While we were there it started getting pretty busy with people coming in for coffee and grabbing food, which is always a good sign. We overheard a few people talking about how good the food is, so now I'm definitely curious and will have to come back to try something off the menu. Overall it was a great little post-hike stop. Good coffee, great energy, and a cute spot to hang for a bit. We'll definitely be back.

The atmosphere…read morewas great--calm, cozy, and filled with students studying, which made it a nice spot to unwind. Service was friendly, especially considering there was only one person working. They were doing their best, but because of that, our food took quite a while to come out. My husband ordered the ube boba, but unfortunately it wasn't drinkable--the boba was very mushy. We didn't send it back, but it was disappointing. On the bright side, I did enjoy my parfait--it was fresh and really good. Overall, I'd consider coming back, but probably earlier in the day. Solid spot with a great vibe, just needs a little consistency.
