Best smoothie on the planet!!! The berry berry is delicious as well as the breakfast buzz!!! We try to go once a week as they are kind of pricey but well worth it. Staff is super friendly and not hard in the eyes either read more

10/10 Love this spot! The ladies here are super sweet and always on it--line moves fast and smooth. It's a small place but packed with great options, even a kids menu and açai bowls! My go-to is the Banana Berry Crunch bowl--so light, refreshing, not to sweet at all. It's the perfect post-workout pick-me-up. If I'm not super hungry, I grab the Guava Sunrise smoothie... tastes like a tropical vacation in a cup without the guilt. It's healthy & tasty I'm super Obsessed. My kids love it too. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to a lot of smoothie places, and I really don't like having to give a negative review, but I was there after working out and ordered the Lean Body smoothie. I found that it had I fake taste to it, very artificial. Also, it just seemed to have a couple of ingredients-it just wasn't what I expected. the price was reasonable, but the smoothie itself was just not good. The young women behind the counter were nice, but at the same time they weren't all that helpful. The place is clean, great location at Evergreen Walk in the section where LL Bean is located. One note: the place for me was hard to find. There needs to be a sign visible from the parking lot-now there's one that just isn't that easy to see. read more

I got the acai fusion smoothie and it actually tasted like how dog puke smells. My whole family agreed it tasted and smells horrible and all the other things there was so bad and expensive. read more

Been coming here for a while and I've always had amazing service, fast service, and they have never messed up on a single thing for me. These girls are super workers and always greet me with a smile! Anyone who wants free stuff or gives them attitude for the customers own lack of attention deserves lack of respect. I see ppl come in and just be nasty, it's just smoothies.. it's just a aćai bowl. I guess we never learned from our mothers when they said no running. read more

Açaí bowl was very watery and small for 12.75 It tasted ok but I'll stick to playa bowls for açaí bowl. For it to be more of a smoothie shop I was shocked they do not have ginger or turmeric for smoothies read more

I love a good açaí bowl. I recently got one at Emerald City Smoothie in South Windsor. This is a smoothie shop mostly, they also have a small selection of açaí bowls. The shop it's self, is very basic, there isn't much aesthetic to it at all. They've also eliminated all of their indoor seating. There is one table outside where you can sit. I got the Health Nut açaí bowl. The base is made of açaí, strawberries, blueberries and banana. Topped with plenty of granola, dry goji berries, almonds, and sweetened with agave nectar. This is a great choice for a hot day! The açaí is so cool and refreshing, and the size was perfect for my friend and I to share. It was a bit sweeter then I'd like, I could probably do without the added agave. It's filling with no questionable ingredients. I enjoyed it a lot. Everything was fresh and a great blend together. While this smoothie place doesn't look very inviting, they make an excellent and healthy açaí bowl. I'd for sure get it again. read more

I ordered an Acai Bowl but what I received was a smoothie in a plastic container that should be used for SOLID foods (cakes, pies, cookies), nothing liquid based. Needless to say it melted all over both myself and the interior of my car and I literally live 5 minutes away. I'm not sure why the change was made from using actual bowls but it's definitely not beneficial to the customer. The container holds a much smaller portion than what you used to provide but your prices haven't lowered, the Acai melts RAPIDLY and the container leaks profusely! I've been supporting the business since you've opened and have never had any issues until now so I hope my complaint isn't falling upon deaf ears...... read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Not a BOWL at all! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

I want to give a big shout out for Faith and Grace. They make the best smoothies, are always such a pleasure and are excellent at making my order right when I forget to request it! They are the best! Thank you Faith and Grace! read more

Great smoothie but terrible and triggering messaging. There were slogans that said "make me skinny" or "lose weight"... along those lines. I think it's unacceptable in this day to allow advertising like that. read more

Delicious. Was very satisfied with my mango smoothie. Will be returning in the future!

Located at the far end, away from most stores however close by to the L.L.Bean! Im a big fan of smoothies and I see slowly how im addicted to Emerald! My favorite smoothie is the "emerald" its a mix of greens n fruits so delicious! Have tried a couple of other smoothies, each one of them is so different with the flavors. They have a smoothie which has papaya, guava too. The service is quick however the staff is not friendly nor welcoming but this fact won't stop me coming here. read more

Want a cool and refreshing smoothie made from natural ingredients, blended right before your eyes? You've come to the right smoothie place. Tucked away in an Evergreen Walk plaza with LL Bean, this smoothie shop is a hidden gem, off the beaten path from Buckland Mall. I've been going to Emerald City Smoothie for much longer than I've been writing Yelp reviews, and this is why I felt so compelled to give a five star rating. This place is quick and efficient. They typically have a couple employees working, and even when there's a line, you get your smoothie within a few minutes. It's totally worth the wait. The options are nearly endless. Want something fruity that feels like you're replenishing your body after a tough workout? They can make that. How about something to make you feel like you're not stuck in quarantine, but are actually on a tropical island listening to a lively steel drum band? There's a smoothie on their menu for that. Or, are you feeling more of a peanut butter chocolate banana concoction? Oh, you'll love the smoothie they come up with for that craving. You can customize anything on their menu! As you can see, Emerald City Smoothie is versatile, a total crowd pleaser, and reliable. Also, this business has really kept up with all of the COVID-19 regulations. I stopped in a few days ago and noticed how seriously safe I felt there, even for only 5 minutes to order and pick up. Masks are required, they have the six foot floor markers, and they established a one way entrance and exit set up, clearly posted. This just goes to show how much they care about their customers. I highly recommend you consider supporting this business by treating yourself to a delicious smoothie the next time you're in town! You won't regret it. read more

Usually come here to grab an Emerald Smoothie; 32 oz. with PB to add to it for about $9. Large size that pretty much fills me up for a couple hours through work. Located in Evergreen Walk, you know that you are going to be paying for what you want. I haven't tried anything on the menu but they have a large selection of different options and drinks. I did ask about a membership card and I hope that they bring it back as I will come back for their smoothies but getting a free one once in a while would put a smile on my face. read more

Tucked away near the LL Bean store this cute lil smoothie shop is great! My friend's nephew wanted something sweet so instead of ice cream we came here. The shop was busy as it was a gorgeous day for winter in New England. I was shocked how many smoothies they offered for children. I had the nutty banana which was like amazing! I am a peanut butter freak so anything with peanut butter this girl is down! I would be here on the regular if I lived closer. They offer a lot of seating and you can purchase additional health products at the store. read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

Be prepared to wait and pay more than you might expect. Also, there is no rhyme or reason behind how they make the smoothies so just because you're the first to order doesn't mean your smoothie will be the first one made. read more

I've been coming to Emerald since 2013 (think that's when they opened), and their shakes are so yummy especially after the gym. I usually get the rejuvinator and any other flavor that has banana in it. The reason why I'm only giving them 3 stars is their customer service is horrendous. No matter how pleasant you are as a customer, the workers are so rude. Think I've encountered one nice person ever. I don't go there as often anymore but it's worthwhile minus the service. read more

The smoothie's are great! Having an allergy is also something that is looked out for at the place. Of course the smoothies are not allergy free, but the service solves the problems of allergies by using separate blenders. The smoothies are fresh and healthy, with lots of variety's to choose. The place itself is nothing to special, it is located in a small plaza on evergreen walk. Making it be a smaller, more simple store. The inside of the store consists of a small siting area with a wall of protein brands. Occasionally the place will have a chalk wall with polls written on it. Emerald city Smoothie concludes to be a great place to get a snack. Nothing more, nothing less. read more

So many smoothie options! Smallest sizes start around $5+. Looks like they're also trying to appeal to the juice crowd with separate additions of foods like kale to some of their other menu items. Has about 10 seats and a handful of healthy snack options. There seemed to be a lot of regulars here. read more

The staff is friendly and the location is clean ! It's a bit small inside but they make great smoothies (:

Wow..... I've been getting more and more disappointed with this place but today takes the cake!!! Hours online say open until 9pm but I got someone locking the door on me at 7:58 and gave me the look like she didn't care and just wanted to go home early. Just a poor display of customer service to turn away a paying customer over just wanting to be lazy. Had a bad day, dying of hunger and thirst and she could have totally saved me but turned me away....... sad read more

I was on my way to Cold Stone (got wisdom teeth removed) and happened to see there was a smoothie place in this outdoor mall. I hotfooted over there to be served by "Dara" (total sweetie) who explained all the drinks and what her favs were. I ended up with a Coconut Passion Smoothie consisting of: Coconut, banana, pineapple, almonds, nonfat millk, wheat germ, protein The yummiest smoothie I have had in a LONG time. Please stop by and give them a try---you won't be disappointed! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Mmmmm good!!!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

This is my go-to place for smoothies in the area! The smoothies are delicious and there are tons of variety. This place also has drinks categorized by wellness goals so you can choose your beverage accordingly (e.g.; "Help me lose weight", "Bulk Me Up", etc.). Moreover, the smoothies can have ingredients for certain occasions (e.g.; if you just worked out, one should get a drink that has the "Recovery" supplement in it). The smoothies are also made very quickly so after ordering, there is hardly any wait at all. So far, I have tried the "Energizer", the "Orange Twister", the "Fruity Supreme", and the "Rejuvinator". As a Strawberry & Banana lover, the "Energizer", "Fruity Supreme", and "Rejuvinator" were delicious. The "Energizer" and "Fruity Supreme" taste *very* similar, except the most obvious difference in taste are the supplements they add in "The Energizer". In particular, the "Rejuvinator" has the supplement "Recovery" in it, which adds a distinct (yet yummy) taste to the smoothie. The "Orange Twister" definitely tastes orange juice in frozen/slushy form since it does not have milk in it. I recommend this place to anyone in the area craving a delicious smoothie! read more

I'm going to preface with this review with the following: I understand this was my fault and the people working there had no obligation to make another bowl free of charge. With that being said....I came in and ordered an açaí bowl, it was pouring rain so once I left the door I started running to the store I work at in the same plaza, as I was running I hit a corner of the wall and dropped the bowl and everything splattered on the concrete. I went back in a few moments later, dripping wet and bleeding, and explained what happened, I waited in line again, and was charged again for the açaí bowl. Like I said, I'm aware they are under no obligation to give me another one free of charge, and it was not their fault. I've worked in retail/the food industry for a long time and everywhere I've worked it's always been customer focused, "how do I turn this customer into a returning customer?" I know it wasn't their fault but from a business standpoint it left a really bad taste in my mouth and unfortunately will probably not be ordering from them again. I work in the same plaza and visit at least once a week so it's a shame. read more

I love coming here after my workouts at Orange Theory up the road. They have convenient hours to accommodate those who workout after work. I really love the Island Breeze smoothie and they had a hocus pocus Halloween smoothie that was super tasty. They offer a lot of varieties of flavors and nutrition options. I have a nut allergy and they have always catered to my needs. I do wish they listed their nutrition info for the açaí bowls. I really want to try them but have no idea of how much protein, calories, sugar, fiber, and carbs they contain. The website doesn't offer this info and the employees do not know (I asked). Are they nut free? We come here a few times a week and it would be great to have this information. read more

Dear Ki O.(Manager), Thank you for taking the time to talk to me this afternoon. You and your entire staff have been so kind to me. They held the door open for me as I am using a rolling walker currently. They were so very patient and accommodating It warmed my heart beyond words. I truly appreciate all of you. May God Bless all you and your families. Sincerely, Annette Foisey RN,BSN read more

Terrible customer service. Employees are miserable, and not welcoming. Smoothies are good, but they're not using real fruit you can tell by how sweet it is. They use syrups instead. When this spot first opened everything was much better. read more

Came here before Planet Fitness for a smoothie (needed an energy boost). I ordered the Vegan Berry Blast and was pleasantly surprised. It contained no dairy or added sugar, but was incredibly sweet. They added flaxseeds and some other goodness to make it a healthy, satiating, but tasty treat. A little pricey, but not sure you could make something like what I ordered at home for that much cheaper, honestly. And who wants to clean a blender? What a pain! There was a really weird smell here when we stopped in. I'm not sure what it was. Like they were drowning in some kind of cleaner to cover up some other smell? Not really sure. Another reviewer mentioned the smell. I think they ought to do something about that. I wasn't impressed with the customer service -- maybe they just couldn't hear me over the blenders? The seating in the place was pretty awkward, honestly. It is currently set up to allow two groups of about four people to sit, but I think it could be rearranged (with different chairs/booths) to permit four groups of two people, which would be better. As the weather gets better, you can head right around the corner to sip your smoothie in the sun on some seating around a cute fountain though so there's that. I plan to return. There aren't many places where I can get a healthy dairy and caffeine free smoothie in Manchester. read more

Hands down my fav place to grab a meal-replacement or snack!! Tried different smoothies place around the area and this one never lets me down. Also love that there are so many options to choose from! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Acai bowls! There are different options to choose from & they let you to make some modifications if you want. Banana berry crunch is my fav! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - South Windsor, Connecticut

I had pineapple with the acai booster. It was delicious. Service was quick and polite. Price was a little high for not many extras added in. I will go back though to explore more options. read more

We've all been there, right? You're in Manchester, it's a hot day, so you want a cold drink. You get a milkshake from Sonic or Johnny Rockets, and it tastes good, but it comes with a free side of guilt over the high caloric intake. Emerald City is a new, healthier option. This place is a new addition to Evergreen Walk, over by LL Bean. I must say, it was not what I expected, although that's not a bad thing. Emerald City is very much a must-visit for health nuts. When you enter, you are immediately greeted by displays of protein bars and mixes, as well as energy supplements. The smoothy menu displays not only ingredients for each smoothy, but also the calorie and protein totals for each one. The smoothies are divided by health category: some are low-calorie, some are high protein (and higher calorie), and some are in between. As for the smoothies, they have a good taste and consistency. They're better than your normal gym smoothies. The chocolate flavors are especially good. Overall, this is a healthy option if you're in the area and don't want to deal with the guilt of Sonic or Johnny Rockets. read more

I come here really frequently and all the staff are unfriendly. It took months for one to even warm up to me. If they mess up your drink and give you a smaller size, they just add water, which I find inappropriate. The atmosphere is overall crummy, and if it weren't so close to my job and my gym, I wouldn't go there. read more

The stars are for the smoothies. This is the third time I've been to this store, because the smoothies are good, however, each time I have gone, I've been disappointed with the lack of customer service. Usually, the two young women who are working there think they're doing you a favor by selling you a smoothie. No greeting, no smile, no thank you, just order you brusquely to sign the charge slip. Not sure how busy this place gets, but I'm sure there is enough time to empty the overflowing garbage can next to the pick up area, and clean the very few tables they have. There are not a lot of options for smoothies in the area, so I hope management cares enough to train employees to provide better service. read more

I was excited to try the açaí bowls but I was sorely Disappointed. I was also disappointed to find that my bowl was more ice than actual açaí. Also they gave like 4 slices of banana. Will never ever ever be coming back! read more

I've been to Emerald City Smoothie many times and was always satisfied, but not impressed. There are not many smoothie places in the area so this is one of the only options. My boyfriend and I were craving a smoothie and stopped by after running errands. We walked in and almost walked out. The place smelt like dog poop. I could not pinpoint why it smelled so awful, but it did. I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to leave and we decided to just get the smoothies and leave. He ordered the Just Peachy smoothie. This had peach, papaya, strawberry, nonfat milk, protein in it. The smoothie was refreshing and completely satisfying. I ordered the Pineapple Bliss smoothie containing pineapple, banana, orange, papaya, and Protein. This smoothie was not good at all. It tasted like soured pineapple. The service was basic, nothing to rave about, nothing unpleasant. Little pricey for a small smoothie ($5). I have been to Emerald City Smoothie many times before and it has never smelled so bad. Possibly, there was an issue they were working on? Therefore, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. If it keeps smelling like this during future visits I will not be heading back. read more

Any smoothie served here is top tier quality. Staff is extremely nice and helpful, and prices are fair for what you are getting.

Loved it! Not a huge fan of protein smoothies, but this place is actually really good!

I was shopping at Evergreen Walk and I was looking for a snack and I wanted something healthy. There are a couple of restaurants but nothing that sells snack type food. I saw Emerald City Smoothie and thought I'd give it a try. I'm not a smoothie guy and I didn't even know if it would be low calorie or not. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the menu. There were a lot of options and the calories were listed. I decided on the Energizer since my shredded wheat breakfast at 8:00 AM wasn't cutting it. The Energizer had strawberry, banana, whey protein and some other energizing stuff in it. I had a 24 oz. size for $5.25. It was plenty and it was very good. Best of all I felt energized and satisfied. I think I'll add smoothies to my healthy eating menu! read more

Acia bowl was great, I went back two days in a row. The women working the counter were so nice and provided exceptional customer service. Definite recommend. read more

As delicious as the smoothies are they aren't using real fruit for most of it and are turning to a completely unhealthy flavored syrup, which can have up to 30 grams of sugar in two pumps. She put 6 in my smoothie. Rather disappointing. read more
