Ilove açaí, and for me the best açaí in California is Açaí Republic. The taste reminds me of the same flavor we have in Brazil.

The açaí bowl was loaded with fresh strawberries, blueberries, granola, and coconut--refreshing without being overly sweet. We also tried the avocado toast, and I loved the presentation.

The smoothie/drink was another hit--cold, refreshing, and the perfect addition to everything else. I especially liked that the food felt light and healthy but still filling and satisfying. Everything came out fresh, the portions were good, and nothing felt thrown together. Definitely a great spot when you want something fresh without sacrificing flavor.

I drank it down fast and would like to try other things, but it's one of those sorts that keeps you in a holding pattern I suspect.

I thought to myself that it's fine, I'll opt for the plant-based protein smoothie options, so I asked for the açaí smoothie. However, I'm aware that plant-based protein supplements have lesser grams of protein per scoop than conventional whey supplements, so I asked how many grams of protein come per scoop. I was told that each scoop contains 0.5g of protein. I was like, maybe they don't understand my question, so I asked once again how many grams of protein does the "protein smoothie" come with and they continue with 0.5 grams. I'm confused because that wouldn't make it a PROTEIN smoothie. How can 1 scoop contain just half a gram of protein!? I kindly thanked them and walked out. I had to go to another smoothie place.

I ordered a hot vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant. He let me know they were out of the chocolate croissants but they had my second choice, an almond croissant. When my order was ready, I took a seat at a table. The croissant was fresh and the frangipane inside was plentiful and delicious. The latte was a proper one with the perfect amount of foam on top. It was served at an immediately drinkable temperature and was made with a good brew. The vanilla flavor was on the weak side but the sweetness it brought was spot on. Oddly, no restroom.

I was surprised and disappointed that they didn't have change. What bothered me most wasn't that they couldn't break the bill--it was the complete lack of customer service or willingness to find a solution. I'm a consistent customer who comes in almost every week, and it would have been a simple gesture to say, "You can just pay us next time." I even made a comment saying, "I guess no juice for me, huh?" hoping they might offer some kind of solution, but there was no attempt whatsoever. For a well-known company like Nekter, I honestly expected better customer service. It's unfortunate that something so small could have been handled with a little understanding and ended up leaving a loyal customer disappointed.
