Açaí split w/ blue berries, strawberries, granola and almond butter

Andrew G.

The place was cool. It has a really nice fruit mural. The açaí was good and a pretty good value at $8. It'll definitely be my snack/treat spot in the area.

Madison W.

Obsessed. Blendees has THE BEST açaí splits- I get mine with extra honey and granola (you can customize). My fiancé loves their smoothies, too! Whenever we have visitors Blendees is always a must! Ms. Monique and the young ladies at Blendees are all so welcoming and kind. If you haven't been here yet, run, don't walk!

Mikaela J.

Great service, they're so kind! Love the blueberry matcha btw. the place is so cute!!

Smoothie was really tasty and great customer service. I was unsure about the place since its a small hut but never judge a book by its cover!

To keep it short and sweet, I would highly recommend coming here for smoothies! The person working was so sweet and totally made my day so much better! Thank you for providing wonderful service and delicious smoothies!!

charlyn s.

Delicious smoothies!!! I'm always greeted with a warm smile and attentive care. A refreshing pick me up on a hot San Diego day. The açaí bowl/split is another fave of mine. Only one downside and it's that it closes at 5.

This juice is spot is located in El Cajon in the same plaza as Popeyes chicken and $10 store. Great healthy breakfast or snack for me. The açaí build a bowl was deliciously I added mango, strawberry, granola plus almond butter only $7. The açaí was delicious so smooth and creamy. Excellent assortment of menu items teas, smoothies and açaí bowls. Great portion sizes. Reasonable price. Excellent customer service, the owner is awesome! Overall positive experience. Will positively return in the near future

The owner was so sweet! Loved her, she recommended a really good smoothie! Will be coming back 10/10.

Delicious! and awesome customer service. I stopped by for acai while out and about running errands. First of all the price is quite reasonable, and the flavors equally as good. It only took a few moments for them to whip up a tasty creation just for me full of my favorites - strawberries, coconut, almonds, strawberries, mango, honey, granola, and banana atop a healthy serving of acai. I took my time to savor it in their small shaded lounge area. Happy to support this small business and will surely return.

Haven't been here but I heard good things about this place I'm glad to be the first to review this place noticed that it's not being advertised and I also notice they have the most affordable açaí bowls from $7 everywhere else they want a pay check amount like $10 can't afford that sorry Jamba Juice I will be eating açaí bowls from this little hut by Popeyes well can't wait to try one thanks Blendees for staying strong I will be showing up soon I catch you late today

I have wanted to try this place for years but was never around when they were open but I finally got to try it today and we left incredibly happy. I believe Monique owns the place but she was there with the best attitude. She was so welcoming and kind that I knew we would return even if the flavors were mediocre. Thankfully, our smoothies were delicious. I ordered a large Royal for $11 and my daughter got a medium Majestic for $8. Sounds kind of pricey but considering the superb customer service (which is hard to find these days!) and fresh ingredient smoothies, it was well worth it. The large was also HUGE with perfect consistency. I would much rather support Monique than a corporation. We will definitely go back. Hoping to make it a weekly stop for us! read more

If You're Reading This Its Too Late. You already want something other than Jamba Juice. Why not try something different and also support a local family owned business! I am glad I tried them. I could see that this wasn't just a job for them, it was a passion. I had the Acai Split, which was huge and more than I expected for only $7. I also had the Incredible Hulk smoothie which was also delicious. The real kicker I saw was that you could make any smoothie you wanted for the same starting price, and only 50 cents for additional ingredients. Awesome for those know exactly what they need while on the road. read more

Was around the neighborhood and was craving an acai bowl, but specifically one where I could add blackberries (it's my new favorite!) and was surprised to come across this little building that I've been driving past daily! I'm so sad I haven't found it sooner. The owner (or worker?) was the SWEETEST person ever! She walked me through their menu, gave me a punch card and made my bowl promptly. It was fresh, and absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go back and try some more menu items! read more

Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

We waited about 45 minutes but we can assume it's probably less crowded during the week. As first time visitors, it takes so long because the staff is really nice and they let you try samples of their rotating daily flavors before you decide. I opted for a basic mix of vanilla & chocolate in the Junior size, with sprinkles and Reese's PB cup crumbs. Super awesome that they fill 3 layers of the toppings so you get a little something each time. It does freeze pretty well so if you don't eat it all it can last you a few days. A little bit of parking out front in the shopping area. No shade while you wait but others brought umbrellas. Lots of seats inside too. There was a bathroom but it was located in their staff area and you needed to be let in.

To top it all off, I ordered a caramel latte, and it was amazing. The coffee was smooth, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the desserts. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You definitely won't be disappointed.

I have been coming to "Blendee's" a few weeks now...when I say service was great, I mean that! The smoothies and açaí bowls are the best I've ever tasted during my 9 years of living in San Diego. I feel refreshed. Healthier and I feel valued as a customer. The açaí bowl was rich and the fruit that accompanied was fresh. I am a regular now and would recommend them to anyone looking for healthy alternatives, good service, and good prices! I love it! Please try the water blends. read more

The owner, Monique, was so courteous and polite. Her smoothies are so sweet and delicious. Her smoothies did not taste watery nor did they come with chunks of ice in it. I recommend everyone to go give them a try. I promise you will love them. Her prices are super low for such a mouthwatering, appetizing, tasty, flavorsome smoothie. Blendees, in El Cajon, off second street (same parking lot as Popeyes) has my vote. Sincerely, Elunda Hodges read more

This is the best place for a smoothie. She does customized drinks and you can tell each drink is made with love. On a hot day Blendees is the best, my favorite is the Acai Smoothie. I started with a regular size because I couldn't finish it, now Large is the only way to go. Monique, I am headed your way really soon, Thank you for the great customer service and the wonderful smile. read more
