One thing about this Emerald City Smoothie: Dás 'LICIOUS The employees working were so kind, I didn't feel uncomfortable or anxious during our interactions, and the general air about the place was super cozy, not full of crazy bright fluorescent lights that tend to bring on migraines. That made me super happy :) Also, they were super efficient and my goodness I've never had a smoothie from a chain that not only was extremely tasty, but also didn't feel like I was loading up on a ton of artificial ingredients/junk that would upset my digestive issues, and I appreciate that so much. You know it's good when you immediately want another the day after. Thank you so much for such a great experience, I had had an emerald city smoothie from a different location once before that almost deterred me from wanting to try again (just very liquified and not thick smoothie consistency, which is super important to me). Thank you!!! read more

One of my favorite post workout treats if I feel like I kicked enough butt at the gym to deserve it lol. I typically get the guava sunrise or acai fusion + add a scoop of protein in that thanggg. Love me some emerald city! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - 32oz guava sunrise - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Standard emerald city smoothie. I always prefer emerald over Jamba. I love how they even have options of add ons like bee pollen! I usually go for the largest size because go big or go home. I don't get smoothies out often as it can be pricey but Emerald City Smoothie is always satisfying when I'm craving a big smoothie. My go to is the mango mania add açaí and this time added the bee pollen which was yummy. This location is always friendly and quick. read more

Definitely the best smoothies around. This goes for every Emerald City Smoothie. Way, way better than Jamba Juice. You can taste how healthy the drinks are here. Definitely worth joining the free membership to gain points for a free smoothie. read more

Edit: The owner of this location reached out to me and informed me that all the fruits in Guava Sunrise are authentic and fresh, except for the guava (which is a flavoring). She also notified me that the way I ordered my smoothie should've included different substitutes, which caused it to be too sweet. I appreciate her messaging me, and I'm planning on visiting this location once more and rewriting my review the next time I visit Seattle. The customer service here is very good. I love a good smoothie. I stopped here after a Costco trip because I wanted a variety of fruit without buying gigantic 20 oz containers of them. The workers are really friendly, like other reviewers mention. I got the Guava Sunrise smoothie and asked to remove the whey protein while also getting a free add-on from checking in on Yelp, and the worker told me she could give me another add-on since she wasn't putting in the whey protein! I got a Vitamin C boost and some acai. However, my order wasn't that great since the flavor was incredibly artificial. It might have been the Vitamin C boost overpowering everything, but I felt like I was drinking dessert instead of something that should've been packed with fresh fruits. Other reviews don't seem to have my issue, so I'd say stick with more organic ingredients that don't obfuscate the existing taste of the smoothie if you're looking to add an add-on (like chia seeds, for example). read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Emerald City Smoothie is my current favorite stop for healthy smoothies and bowls. I used to prefer Jamba Juice but it seems like my taste buds have changed. When I first tried it, I wasn't fond of the taste of the whey protein but now I keep coming back to Emerald City Smoothie. I love that there is so much options to choose from and it is categorized by your intended goals, such as weight loss, immunity support, mass building, etc. You're bound to find something you like. There is a lot of customization involved in choosing your add-ons. Drinks come in 16oz and 32oz. I usually go for the 32oz because I'll just drink it all day or put the leftover in the freezer and let it thaw out the next time I finish it. Although it's on the pricier side, it is worth the investment. The smoothies are usually packed with nutrients, protein, or antioxidants. My fave drink is the Emerald smoothie. It takes even better with peanut butter if you enjoy a nutty, creamier taste. I also recommend the Green Goddess if you want your daily intake of greens. Any of the berry smoothies are satisfying, including the Açaí Fusion and Berry Berry. There's still so much drinks I've been meaning to try. The staff there are friendly. If you don't know what to order, ask them for a suggestion! read more

I was afraid this would be just a pricey Jamba Juice clone, but it's much better! The smoothies actually taste like fruit, and there's no weird gritty texture (you know what I mean if you've ever had JJ). The lady behind the counter was flying solo and was killin it even with a line three people deep. They have quite a selection of smoothies depending on what you're in the mood for or trying to accomplish in life... bulking up, want to lose weight, want to just eat fruit? Can do! The Pineapple Bliss was lower calorie and had all my favorite things, so sold! And it's clean, cold, and tasty. The perfect car breakfast for sitting in traffic after making a trip to Costco. read more

Emerald City Smoothie - PB and J Smoothie that takes amazing just like the sammich - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Wow, this place is not what I expected. As an avid Yelper, I usually look up places to check out when I want something yummy. This time, I was at the nearby Costco and decided to stop by without any prior knowledge. It was not what I was expecting at all. I don't know why I thought this was a basic fruit smoothie place but I was surprised (not in a bad way!) to see that this is a more complex and healthy smoothie spot. LOCATION & PARKING // There is a ton of parking here BUT there are so many cars around because of the Costco and the Home Depot around here. It is a hot mess driving around this place so be careful or else someone will hit you or randomly walk in front of you. The actual smoothie place is medium sized. There aren't a ton of tables inside and it's more of a grab and go kind of place. MENU & SERVICE // The menu here is enormous! I like how easy it is to maneuver because you can select something based off of what you're looking for. I applaud them for their accessible design. The service here was great too - nothing to complain about! DRINK // I ended up ordering the COCONUT PASSION (Coconut, Pineapple, Banana, Almonds, Whey Protein, Nonfat Milk) with a shot of VITAMIN C (bonus: the shot is free if you check into Yelp). When I first got it, it was a lot more thin and liquidy than I thought it would be. I don't know why but I thought it would be thicker and colder. I ended up not being able to drink it until much later so when I got home, I dumped it into a glass and left it in the freezer for a bit. It was really good! I thought the almonds added something unexpected to the drink. I'm glad I chose this - it was the perfect blend of sweet, summery, and refreshing. The only thing is the smallest size (16oz) is almost 7 dollars! OVERALL // 3.5 stars While it was a good smoothie, I don't think it's worth the price. I don't see how people can afford this place regularly unless you actually budget it in. This place is mediocre and, while it was good, I probably won't be back. read more

My boyfriend and I just moved here and wanted to find our new açaí bowl / smoothie spot and emerald smoothie was the place to try.

Emerald City Smoothie - Acai bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Walking into this spot just makes you feel healthier. I swear the air is has detoxifying properties not otherwise found in nature. I happened by on a scorching hot day when I was in need of something cold and delicious. I had been craving a smoothie for a couple of days, but the spot I usually go to was too far away. Lucky me, Yelp pointed me in the direction of Emerald City Smoothie. I had the berry berry, and it hit the spot! I really enjoyed that it was not too sweet. You could really taste the berries. Service was friendly and efficient. The price point is higher than other places I've been, but I'll pay it for convenience sake alone. read more

Emerald City Smoothie - So many yummy choices! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

Hey mamas. Don't bother. They don't have a restroom, even if you're visibly pregnant or are training a little one. Their smoothies are fresh; but Starbucks and Costco are in the same parking lot and have smoothies and facilities. Better options to satisfy your pregnancy/nursing cravings without having to make an extra stop. read more

Acai bowls $7.50, with minimal acai. Better value than the unmentionable rip off in Ballard but still sort of expensive. Somewhat dishonest staff. Terrible web app online order system. Food 3/5 Value 3/5 Service 1/5 Location 2/5 Main gripe here is with a singular experience I had with staff. Usually when food is prepared in front of me, I like to watch. I noticed about 10-12 oz of acai mix was made for my order, of which HALF was put into my bowl. Another 5-6oz remained in the blender. I asked what they did with the leftovers and the staff said, "Since not much is left over, we just throw it out." I didn't want to be confrontational and I get that I got what I purchased, but I felt like that response was not completely honest. If that was truly going to be thrown out, why not offer it to the customer right in front of you inquiring about it? That would be putting the customer first. Second main gripe is terrible web app. I went through the arduous steps to register and wrestled with the online checkout for at least 5-8 minutes to try and order the above acai bowl but gave up. The web app is also part of your business and part of your customer's experience. Terrible failure here and needs immediate attention if 25% off first online order continues to be promoted. The food itself tastes okay. About what I could make at home if I could buy the Sambazon acai frozen and at Costco. read more

One of my favorite place for smoothies and protein shakes. My favorite flavor is the nutty butty and tropical. Lots of parking as it's located next to Costco. Quick service! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Menu - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Shoreline, Washington

TLDR: healthy fruit fix. Legit smoothies. Spendy. Fully customizable smoothies that are healthy and not too sweet. If you see something on the menu and want something taken out, they will do it if you ask. I really like the berry smoothies. Smoothie consistency is very smooth and not gritty (unless you have berries with seeds). It's hard to have any leftovers because it goes down so smoothly. Perfect place to go when you feel like your lacking that vitamin C and you need your fruit fix. read more

I'll keep this short. I love Emerald city smoothie! However a policy that tells me they won't take my cash because it's over a $20 bill is ridiculous. To offer me the excuse that the employees may not be able to count the correct amount of change back is even more ridiculous. Hire people with basic math skills or just give them a calculator. I may not patron here again depending on this policy. Thank you for taking the time respond Liz, and am sorry that there are less than honest people out there. Perhaps there might be a better solution than to restrict those of us who are honest and pay with cash. Also, there was a manager on duty this morning and she refused to take my legal tender note. read more

Really unique flavors! I got the almond coconut smoothie and absolutely loved the taste! Wow wish this place was all over Seattle!

Love love love this place after a kick ass workout...or even when I just want a fast meal and don't feel like chewing. The flavor and add-on options are neverending. I love the Lean Out, which I think is one of the meal replacement smoothies, made with chocolate or vanilla whey protein, peanut butter, nonfat milk, and banana. When I'm feeling like something more fruity I go for the Sambazon made with acai, strawberry, cranberry, almond milk, and whey protein. ECS is also great for protein snacks and a variety of workout shake mixes. I've not ever had a bad shake here and I am going to make 2017 my year to explore other flavors cuz they all sound quite deliciously amazing! read more

Emerald City Smoothie I cant thank you enough , I came here for my first time this week and got to say my Acai bowl was so delicious . My Acai bowl had protein, strawberries , bananas, granola and coconut. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Plus the price was better than other local smoothie places. I know they have other things on the menu and I can't wait to try them all. I will be returning Emerald city Smoothie. Thank you . read more

The gal working was very nice, but not especially helpful. She didn't really say anything after her version of the "Hi, there. Do you know what you'd like, or would you like some time to make up your mind?" greeting, but she did let me and all the (male) customers that flooded in after me choose our drinks in peace. I was kind of surprised that she didn't offer any suggestions or ask if any of us were new to Emerald City Smoothie. I wasn't in the mood for any cow (nonfat) or soy milk, so thankfully the menu was easy to quickly narrow down to a few tasty sounding choices. (Many of the drinks contained soy milk or nonfat milk.) I'm something of a berry addict (see: "last meal" section of my Yelp profile), so I chose one of their drinks that was berry-tastic. I'm not sure which one, but it had at least one kind of berry in it. The cost was about $4-5 for a big 20 or 24oz (styrofoam? ick) to-go cup. The employee(s) could have tried a little harder, but I definitely enjoyed my smoothie and would be happy to go back for another. read more

Do you want a smoothie more for refreshment/taste? Better to avoid this place. But for the health conscious consumer needing a boost before (or after) a workout, give the ECS a shot. I find that when I view these smoothies more along the lines what health benefits can be had from a high protein smoothie before a workout, I find that five plus dollars isn't a bad price to pay. I dock two points for how lackluster the "treat" smoothies are compared to the more corporate minded Jamba Juice, but give back a point for having some really good health smoothies (like the Lean Body for lifters or Eternal Energizer for those that need a quick pick up before hitting the gym). Give it a shot. read more

Emerald City Smoothie is straight up delicious!!! I have always enjoyed coming to this location since its less then a mile from me and it's close to Costco and Home Depot. Right when you walk in the door you are greeted with a friendly "Hello, welcome to Emerald City Smoothie." That's always a good way to start the experience. Sometimes it's really hard to decide what I want due to the giant selection of smoothies they offer. They always have fresh ingredients and fruit to make you one damn good smoothie. They also offer soy and whey protein boosts, energy, fiber, vitamin boosts and many others. Hands down my favorite is the large Tropical Paradise, which has banana, pineapple, orange, kiwi, nonfat milk, protein and energy mix. I always get an extra protein boost in it as well. It is quite tasty and it soothes the soul. read more

Smoothies! One of my favorite beverages! There smoothies are nice, thick, wonderfully tasty and very healthy at the same. I had the Guava Sunrise and it was refreshing and healthy!

Prices are high, $5 dollars with tax for a 24 oz smoothie. There menu can be a bit confusing to read, way to many words and desciptions with no picture or graphic breaks. The menu board looks like a giant Jeopardy board with the header (Good For You, for instance) then a row of drinks under it. Service was friendly and quick. I will use up my Groupon gift card though and likely not return due to the prices. read more

I have been to many Emerald City Smoothie places in the state, so if you try one of them you get the same everywhere else in terms of taste. This location has plenty of parking but it is also a shopping destination in the area with Costco and Home Depot and many other shops and restaurants so there many cars around. The inside of Emerald City was nice and clean, the staff was friendly. There have a great selection of menu items to pick from and i am a big fan of all the drink i have tried so far! I like the Guava Sunrise, PB & J, Immunity Nectar, Fruity Supreme, and the Peanut Passion. The are many other drinks available, these are some of the ones i get regularly. read more
