I'm leaving this five star review. Because a young man by the name of Jaden, that's working there was kind enough to offer to open the door for me for another location. Even though he was hard at work doing what he needed to do. He was still kind enough to help me. It is very hard to find young people that are willing to help. Thank you very much. read more

I got to Emerald City smoothie locations all over and the Burien location is my least favorite. They charge more than other locations, they tend to be a bit rude and just not a pleasant experience. I won't be back. Other locations $7 for 24oz about $7.70 with tax and $8 for 32oz about $8.80 with tax. Burien 24oz is $8.32, not sure if they charges tax on top and a 32oz is $9.62. Its just not pleasant... read more

Absolutely delicious. I always get the banana Body Builder. This time, I didn't know they put peanut butter into it also. The ECS on Aurora at 100th didn't do that. Anyway, its a meal replacement with lots of protein, dairy, Vitamins A and D especially. Lots of expensive food bars all around and expensive protein powder in big juggs. I've never liked the fact that all of the jugs, which are huge, only are half full. So half your jug is air. I never liked that. I would respect the company that sells them (not ECS, but the third party protein manufacturer) a lot more if they reduced the jug size to match the contents. Cost is about $10 to $13 per smoothie for the large, depending on what booster you add (protein, vitamin, health, etc.) read more

Popped in to grab a smoothie during my lunch break, they were super busy but did their best to get everyone taken care of quickly. I ordered the passion peanut and it was super good- peanut buttery with a hint of berry tang. read more

Paid $16 for a LARGE AÇAÍ BOWL. I went to the auburn location yesterday and the federal way location before and their large is 3 times this size for THE SAME EXACT PRICE complete BS. They said they only have one size. Plus it takes gross the other stores were way better. read more

"I had a disappointing experience at Cutie. While the smoothie was okay, the manager's rude attitude overshadowed it I hope they improve their customer service as it's essential for a positive experience Unfortunately the manager doesn't know how to respect customers if I could I would give her negative Zero read more

I'm a daily customer at Emerald City Smoothie in Burien but my last visit was shocking I ordered my usual low carb high-protein mango smoothie no syrup. After paying, staff said they couldn't make it with fresh mango and the manager yelled that fresh fruit isn't available due to sugar false Even though I paid for extra protein they didn't add a single scoop my smoothie had no protein at all and was loaded with syrup Completely unacceptable When I go to Emerald City Smoothie in Issaquah, the staff are great they always have fresh mango, and my smoothies are made correctly This Burien manager shouldn't work here anymore I will not return until management fixes this read more

Adding an additional start because I'm obsessed with their berry crunch Açaí bowls. Full of berries, bananas and delicious Açaí. I drive out of my way to get this treat. I am disappointed at the price charged to use credit/debit. A 4% fee is outrageous to charge. I tried to get around the fee by using a third party app but they also mark up the price even if you select pick up. This fee is not charged at the Tukwila location. Definitely will be back but will make sure but maybe not this location due to fees. read more

It was pretty good until I realized that I was drinking plastic pieces. Mind you I'm currently 2 months pregnant, and to come here often to pick up a few drinks here and there, just to find out that I'm drinking bits of polymers, was disappointing. I love this place but it's probably America overall that's fucc'in up since this kinda happens often at multiple different places. Not sure if it's the hiring process or the training process or just lack of wanting to do things right in the first place :)) will be updating reviews later once I move closer to Burien. :) happens way too often with my pregnancies, but I know .... I do need to cook and make my own drinks at home though #GoAmerica 2 stars for cleanliness & great taste & 1 star for trying :) read more

I have always received great açaí bowls from emerald city smoothie in Burien but today instead when biting into what I thought was granola I found it was crunching ice. Paying over $11 for this bowl I should expect to get what I pay for not a bowl full of ice. read more

Consistently good smoothies with a ton of options to please everyone. The selection is a bit overwhelming.

Very nice customer service! Very friendly. Prices are great. Can't get enough of Guava sunrise.

Yummy and one of the friendliness spots in all of Woodinville! Go spend your money with this gem :) and get a healthy dose of smiles with your vitamins! read more

Have been frequenting ECS a lot as of late while my husband has been admitted at St Anne's. His appetite has been limited and yet I still need to make sure he has nutrition and something he enjoys. He's now hooked on the tropical sunrise açaí bowl (with raspberries on top instead of bananas) and I'm loving the pineapple bliss smoothie service has been great and cost is on par with everything else. We will definitely be back!!!! Keep up the good work!! read more

Kind and eager team. Busy breakfast spot. Great pastries. Decent self service coffee. You can ask folks behind the counter for a milk alternative. Veer away from the breakfast sandwiches. We tried two different options, both were listed with "medium eggs". The eggs were hard to the point of being dry, and the sandwiches were next level hot. Once it cooled, their gorgeous bread was rock hard, and the sandwich bone dry. It was inedible. I could see others using their teeth to saw through their breakfast sandwich. Definitely not worth the $10 plus tax and recommended 15% tip. read more

Received excellent service from the staff the whole team is friendly and Keylin's service was outstanding! Highly recommend this spot to others ! read more

Latina woman with curly hair behind the counter had airpod in and couldn't hear my order once and gave me a rude attitude and then made my friends smoothie wrong and then gave me someone's else's smoothie and then didn't even make me my own smoothie and when i asked them to make it she gave a rude attitude and was mad when she had to make it. read more

Worst customer service, I am a regular customer and I always order the Matcha blended drink. Every time I go in every workers makes it diffrent which is very frustrating. Spoke with the manager Jessica she was not helpful at all. Resfused to remake my drink or give a refund. Maybe she needs to start training her staff better. Honeslty I was really dissapointed. Would not recommend this location to friends or familes. I would rate this location 0/5 but Yelp won't allow me. Worst customer service. read more

The smoothies are amazing. There's nothing but good things to say about this place. There's plenty of parking so there's no need to stress that. The boss is amazing and tries to interact with his customers when available. He does a amazing job with his staffs to keep this location clean. read more

I absolutely love Emerald City Smoothie and will continue to be a loyal customer not only because their Sambazon recipe irreplaceable but also the health snacks/drinks that they offer can't be found anywhere else in town. My husband and I have been going to the Burien location every weekend for over two years and we always order the exact same thing (although I am confident that everything is good)! We noticed inconsistencies and were so impressed with the response that we received from the owner, Dan, once these were brought to his attention. He immediately reached out with a solution and a smoothie, on the house. It's refreshing to see a business owner so passionate and it's obvious that he will continue to make great smoothies for years to come. read more

Best smoothie, I've only done the mocha bliss and that had me coming back. My new favorite spot, happy I randomly stopped in when grocery shopping at Safeway. read more

I've ordered from this store multiple times and get the usual Health Nut Smoothie bowl. And every time the same ingredient is missed. The agave syrup. I thought they must have sold out but it doesn't seem to be the case judging from the previous comments. The smoothie bowl taste dry without it. read more

A HUGE THANK YOU to your Burien/148th St. store's staff for finding and so very kindly mailing my husband's lost D.L. back to us. Your job may be health and smoothies, but it was definitely above and beyond their responsibilities to take time to personally mail the license to us. It really is crazy appreciated. Take note, others- there are so many different ways to earn customers and a following...... Good deeds on a company's part are absolutely one of them! Thanks again, Emerald..... We will see you soon read more

A bit of a drive; I wish there was a closer one. But the staff here was great and the smoothies I ordered both tasted great.

I have been coming here for years and just now am leaving a review. I am leaving a review because Jessica makes the BEST mango berry smoothies (my go to) I have had from this establishment. Not to say they are not all good. But when she makes it my taste buds are extra joyful. I'm going there tomorrow and I hope she is working. read more

Wondering how I paid nearly an extra $3 for a "vegan upgrade" and the non-cash fee. The smoothie I ordered is near identical to the vegan dream (I ordered the emerald) , but have a dairy allergy so I asked to substitute the vegan protein in place of the whey. Mind you, both these smoothies are the exact same price $6.25, one has blueberries the other has chia seeds. I can see being charged $0.50 to substitute the protein if there is a price difference, but $1 a piece is a bit ridiculous. I feel like all these unnecessary add-ons seem to come from this location frequently. I've been to kent and the tukwila locations where the staff is way nicer and don't have all these extra costs when a substitution would be nice for the customer and shouldn't be a cost issue as stated about with a near mirror image drink. May as well have said forget the blueberries in this case and just had the vegan dream. Oh well, won't be back. read more

Emerald City Smoothie - $16.60 for two smoothies (includes the $2.00 vegan "upgrade" and the non-cash fee) smh - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Burien, Washington

I LOVE the smoothie I get. I get the triple berry because I am dying of kidney failure and CAN NOT have bananas or milk/yogurt, and this particular smoothie has ingredients that I can have and taste good to me, when I am not able to eat much of the time, I rely on this smoothie. HOWEVER...half the time when I order it, someone puts in yogurt or milk. A few times I got a peanut butter and jelly smoothie instead of triple berry....I dont know why. It has always been very disappointing receiving these because I am disabled and get my caretaker to get the drink. He doesnt just taste the drink for me, as he shouldnt. Regardless, when he brings one to me, usually when I cant eat anything, and receive dairy or peanut butter, I'm not able to eat for the night. Drinking something like that might put me in the hospital or worse. You guys REALLY need to pay attention to that kind of stuff...I've stopped going to you more recently because I am super frustrated paying so much for juice and having it be completely wrong...I noticed y'all make "special" smoothies at this particular shop as well, maybe the employees should not partake in the special smoothies, while making them read more

Oh god !!!Haha no wonder these are closing down ... Customer service is lacking haaaarrrrdd... Greet people, smile .. it's really easy !! Smoothies aren't cheap And if you have a cough - stay home . Kinda gross to hear you coughing behind the counter on my protein ...uhhh read more

Super clean store and yummy smoothies. Mango mania, PB&j, and sambazon are my go tos. Staff is friendly and nice that it is open til 9pm

What happened to Emerald City? Horrible quality. Watered down and not thick AT ALL. So glad that I paid over $10 for juice. 100% unhappy.

Emerald City Smoothie is my go-to spot for a post-workout treat. The smoothies are good and refreshing. It's a great hot-day refreshment and meal replacement shake. The shakes are made with real fruit, so you know it's fresh. Sometimes the protein powder, powdery flavor comes through - but that's honestly to be expected with protein powder in a drink. It's a bummer that prices have went over the years. I used to go a lot more often in the past, but it's still a good treat. I'm a fan of the Vanilla Lean Out, Pacific Splash and Sambazon. read more

Jessica and Betty (it was hard to hear with the mask on) were very nice and helpful. I've been having a peanut butter obsession lately and asked them what fruits go best. They made some helpful suggestions. Only thing that's kind of weird-i notice when I use my card here it charges me like .80 something fee. And no it's not because of the type of debit card used. I've been to other emerald city places and haven't had this problem. Or maybe i never noticed? Anyways. Will definitely be back. This place is way better than Jamba Juice imo. read more

Omg you guuyyysss this place is a MUST. Wether you're a gym junky or not, their smoothies are so delicious, healthy and filling! My favorite is the Emerald and another Green drink, that I don't remember the name of.. but they are so tasty! The Emerald actually includes some Whey protein so it makes it extra filling, without needing a full meal. The 24 oz is what I usually get, it comes to about $6- but they also have a 32 oz option. They're very quick and friendly, parking right out front and good business hours. Definitely recommend you make a stop! You'll never go to Jamba Juice again lol read more

Great location and a place I visit every time I am Burien. Never had any issues with any of the smoothies I ever ordered. Always taste delicious and healthy. The team members are always smiling and helpful. I did notice the price increases are pretty often on product but that's becoming very common everywhere and anywhere. read more

I've been a customer for several years and after reading a few of the comments I will confirm this.... * Dan the owner is a good guy but not so much on the customer interactions. * 4 1/2 stars for quality, if the drink is incorrect they are willing to remake the drink. The reason for 2 stars is for the recent price increase. I'm a creature of habit and order the same drink; I was never happy with the .70 charge for peanut butter but now they have added a 4% fee if you use your credit card which brings my 24oz drink to over $8. I like to support local business but the price out weighs the benefit. read more

Dear Emerald City Smoothie, I visited one of your stores for the first time after receiving a gift card and would like to make two comments: 1. I was literally amazed that you do not offer some form of ginger (root/powder) as an ingredient option. I'm sure you must get suggestions for ingredients often, and I understand that you can't include everything, but ginger?! It's too obvious. 2. The side of your cup states; "We use the best ingredients available to make the perfect smoothie." In the case of Emerald City Smoothie that statement couldn't be more nebulous. Please forgive my sarcasm, but have you ever heard of the term: organic? How is it possible, in your business model, that you could amass so many different "healthy" food products, and ingredients, under one roof and not offer at least one organic item in your store...not one? Not even an organic energy bar. ...Almost like you went out of your way to exclude organic. Organic protein powder even exist now. In the meantime I'll stick to my home made smoothies where I do in fact use the "best" ingredients available. The staff was friendly! read more

I'm really thankful to the only staff member of color that noticed that I had been waiting for my smoothie for quite some time. One man that came in after me received his drink before me and I just stood there. Will not come back. read more

Owner is not friendly. I was there he was Training a new employee to make drinks and ring up customers. Meanwhile I'm there-in front of the register, he walks by 3 times and doesn't greet me or ask to get my order started. The vibe when he's there is so intense and I feel like I'm "intruding". I go there for the smoothies though. read more

I used to live in Burien and this was one of my favorite stops in the mornings before heading to the bus depot to head to work. It was either this place or the Starbucks across the lot. But the smoothies were just a better breakfast option than an americano. For one thing, this place made a kick-ass passion fruit Slim'n'Fit. And it was consistent everytime! I'm sure all of the passion fruit Slim'n'Fits at every other ECS tastes the same. But what made it taste better was DEFINITELY the outstanding service I received every morning I was there. And I really liked the fact that the owner wasn't one of those invisible guys behind the scenes that leaves all the hard work to his employees while he sits at home and rakes in all the dough. No. This guy was there every morning, bright and early to help customers, train any new employees he may have had while maintaining another store (Southcenter Mall) and opening a new drive-thru one (Boulevard Park)! And by my third visit, the man already knew what I wanted and was throwing my drink together as I walked in the door! Don't you all agree that your food oddly tastes better when you receive outstanding service?? Okay...maybe not. But it definitely does for me! So if you're in the mood for a tasty, healthy treat or meal alternative and live in the areas of Burien or Southcenter Mall, definitely check them out! If I find myself down in Burien again for some odd reason, I'll definitely be hitting them up! read more
