Tucked in the side of LA Fitness is an Emerald City Smoothie. My friend was having an off day and wanted one of their signature smoothies. I thought no biggie, I will pop in and buy what he wanted and then leave. I know the LA Fitness in the Landing. It is impossible to miss. As I entered I was surprised that no one was at the reception desk. I figured since LA Fitness is a membership gym they would want to verify if someone has membership when entering but no one was there. Behind the circular desk there were a few other workstations. There was a gentleman at one of these computers who just silently stared at me as I wandered to find Emerald City Smoothie. He didn't move, smile, nothing. His eyes just followed me. Kinda feeling odd by this point I saw the Emerald City Smoothie to the left tucked in. You can't see it when stepping into the space and the one sign is on one wall eye level. But I guess they don't really need to advertise. One young woman was alone cranking out smoothies. She was diligent in her job treating her smoothies like someone on an assembly line. She spoke little and moved fast. There were a few people in front of me and each was served quickly with no commentary. Made me wonder if they should just install a kiosk where customers could put in their orders and she could just make them with no interaction. I left much as I entered, being stared at as I walked away. I don't think I will be back. It was weird. read more

Love the smoothies!! Are they expensive yeah-- but if that's really a worry go buy the fruits and mix-ins yourself! Gals working seem shy but they are kind and quick! Plus it's in a Gym read more

Girls think there hot sht & are worried about how they look than good customer service . Was not helpful at all and gave dirty looks . Specially blonde girl working there . I'm very disappointed . Looking like that and act like that is wild . Get a grip . have good customer service or hand ur job off to someone else . There was no need for that kind of behavior AT ALL. I wouldn't order here they're very catty and have attitude and are to busy worried about how they look mind you this was my first time ordering . I was excited knowing they opened it inside here . But wow just the first approach tll checkout was ridiculous. Definitely recommend skipping this place . Even tipped them good and there was no thank you have a good day . She handed the drink and was quiet . Girl go work at hooters this is a dam smoothie place not a H0oker bar . read more

Emerald City Smoothie - My Mocha Bliss smoothie and other snack they offer - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Renton, Washington

See all

Yum, yum, yum!!! I love getting the sambazon from this location. The smoothie always has the perfect consistency and the staff members are so friendly! I definitely recommend stopping by and grabbing a smoothie when you're in the area! read more

I visited this place for the first time. I thought it was pretty good. They have a lot of options to pick from so I'll definitely be going back. read more

Yum Tried every smoothie on menu.. can't go wrong .... Wish there were more Emerald City smoothie all over the area read more

Always gotta get my PB&J after my workout! Drinks are always consistent no matter who is working. The staff here are always really nice and friendly. read more

1-What they advertise online, and what they offer in person are different. My sister wanted a berry crunch bowl and they straight up told my husband they don't offer that. They told him that if he didn't know what he was ordering, to please step aside. It's just annoying because it wasn't even his fault for ordering something on their menu. Maybe the website developer should remove items from the website depending on the location, to prevent further confusion. 2-Though I was hoping otherwise, as others said, the smoothies are overly sweet. Something tastes off.. like there's some kind of sweetener or syrup. It just doesn't taste fresh or refreshing-- overly ripe, is what comes to mind. read more

Great experience with the gal working there. I couldn't use the whey protein due to dairy allergy , so she suggested the vegan powder and helped to add stuff to the drink to mask the earthy taste. Once she was done making it, she made sure I liked it or she would make it again! I appreciated that a lot , but actually enjoyed it and got one for a friend that loved it as well! Drink: Straw/banana/mango with Vegan Powder and Pineapple + Apple Juice read more

Best emerald city location in the South Sound! Great smoothies and always customer service!

I love you! You are one of the reasons why I go workout at LA Fitness at the Landing... and what a reason you are! You captured me with your Lean Body replacement meal. You taunt me with your lucious flavors... I cannot get you off my mind! read more

Flavor was good on both smoothies I got. But sadly both were liquid, not textured like a smoothie. More like a juice! Super disappointing!

Best customer service ever! Nani is always so nice and welcoming when I come in for my daily smoothie! I when in during a day the owners were onsite and was super impressed with how nice, welcoming, and hands-on they were! Best smoothies in town for sure! read more

Dat shit BUSSIN!!!! I come here every day after my workout and it is the sustinence my body needs. 10/10

Solid smoothies always open at reasonable hours and quick service. Been to other ECS and this one is the cleanest

Great service! Never any wait times. Ray is awesome and remembers my orders. My favorite ECS to go to ever!

This smoothie spot always has quick service and very respectful staff! Absolutely love grabbing it after my workouts

super quick and tasty! super convenient after a work out at LA! I learned you don't need a membership to go inside and enjoy a smoothie.

Sadly writing this as it's not even closing time and they were already closed and someone was there working. Gave an extra star only because the time prior I've been here the smoothie was good, but not sure why they closed before they said they would be. read more

Ive had good peanut butter smoothies here. But the last one they used too much banana syrup make sure to let the perso n workink here know how you like your smoothie. Also too many loser muscle heads trying to hit on the girl if she's cute so it takes longer ato get ypur order because there's too much yapping going on instead of just simply ordering getting your smoothie and going on your way. I'm giving three stars because I have gotten some good smoothies at this location. But they do need a better system on making smoothies quickly and getting your order in faster PS. I hope the owner of this location leave this review and starts making some improvements especially on timeliness of your order and getting your smoothie, and of course making sure your servers don't use too much syrup syrup. For example I would like more peanut butter than banana syrup in my peanut butter whey protein smoothies and of course more real banana and real fruit then syrup. read more

Fruits they used aren't fresh. Pineapple chunks for instance are the triangle cut that are found in BPA metal cans and with concentrated and pasteurized juice. Apple juice as well. I know what real 100% juice taste like. And for sure this one isn't. PS. The manager needs to update his training in customer service (e.g. How he speaks without any condescending comebacks) if you work in a customer service industry, the customers need to be 100% satisfied! The juice I ordered came with the Immunity Powder mix and it's not vegan. I said I don't drink cow's milk. So she suggested the vegan powder. Came back and requested if they can remake my drink without the powder which I don't normally put in my smoothies, well except for L-glutamine, acidophilus, and Lipoic Acid supplements. He said if you put a powder in the smoothie it will have a powder taste. (ok) I said I am aware of that. Then he resumed saying it taste vegan. (Now this made me laugh) what does vegan taste like? Haha.) and he continues on saying if you buy a car with a stick shift you don't return it to the dealer. Ha? He must be moonlighting as a comedian, a horrible one. First of all we are not in a car dealership, it's only a smoothie. That was a horrible analogy. Because you research a car first before you buy one and make sure you have what you want. Can't wait to go back to NYC to get great quality food and excellent customer service! read more

Workers here are never up front, so you pretty much have to holler to get their attention. I mean how hard can it be to make a smoothie that has a very specific recipe? Workers are constantly making mistakes! I've even had them unaware what certain berries were, that go in to your smoothie. Only reason that this location isn't a 1 star is because you're still getting a smoothie in the end. read more

This location uses syrups. Really bad ones. And a lot of it. I threw out the smoothie after 2 sips.

Oh, ECS, why I have only started coming here is beyond me. Yesterday, I decided to push it and do my p90x workout AND try out a Zumba class. My bf wanted me to bring him a smoothie home after the 2nd workout (gooooooooood idea!) so I was calling around to see which locations from the Federal Way area up to Renton were open the latest. Well... nobody I called won. They all lost with 7:00... my class didn't get out until 7:15. Finally, I remembered that the ECS @LAFitness was open fairly late, so I called the gym to see what time they closed. 9:30. 9:30!!! Hooray! Sweet. Sweat & smoothies tonight!! The girls there are friendly and there isn't usually a line, like I've experienced at some other locations. I'll be back. Especially since I reactivated my gym membership. read more

I really have grown to love this place. Dee and Raul are always in a good mood and cheerful (maybe a little to cheerful for as early as it is). read more

This place has definitely stepped up their game. Candy, is usually the girl working when I pass through and generally is working the busiest shift. She's always got both blenders going, multi tasking and getting the next order prepped. Best part of it all is she's doing it with a smile. The other gals working are just as amazing. Providing recommendations excellent customer service even when they're swamped. So glad this is available. read more

Great location. Convenient to work. POS System slower than molasses. So, me and a couple work ladies typically walk over on our break at work to get a healthy smoothie instead of lunch. The girls are super friendly at this location. They used to know us by name, but then that girl left (sadface!). Never a problem at this ECS. Just fix your slow POS System, please. It added like 10 minutes onto my last transaction to where I just paid for my co-workers so it wouldn't take twice as long. A+ for Boeing Discount F for POS System read more

After my work out it's such a relief when I go to this emerald city smoothie. The girl here named Candy is so awesome, and don't forget cute. She's super nice and helpful. I also met Melanie today, shes dope! Very fun to get my protein on here! read more

Went here today, during regular business hours, and according to LA Fitness door person the ECS employee decided not to show up.

Not happy. One of the employees said they haven't had a lunch break since she started. She said they can only take breaks when it's slow. It's the law to give a 30 minute lunch break when employee wants to take it at least once every 8 hour shift. Common sense! read more

Always looking for emerald city smoothies. Used to be a bunch by my house but now just this one is nearby. Friendly service and the smoothies are always good. Prefer these over Jamba. Less sugar less added stuff and more of good fresh ingredients. Would give it a 5 out of 5 but sometimes they run out of ingredients. read more

been at the la fitness for quite some time now and it never fails to have a fresh smoothie made the way you want
