Nektar is the best quality, tasting, and value for any fast casual juice and smoothie chain today. This location also had fast and friendly service, with a clean and cool store interior. With everything being more expensive, Nektar is the best value. It's slightly more expensive than Jamba Juice and Juice it up but the quality difference is easily noticeable. I had a Health Nut smoothie, which was refreshing and with more than 20 grams of protein without being overly sweet. The service was very friendly. The staff all seemed happy to work there and answered questions that I as well as other customers had clearly and in a friendly manner. The store is also clean with multiple open clean tables. If you have to get smoothie or acai bowl from anywhere in there area, this is by far the best intersection of quality and value! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Health Nut Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

This place wasn't too busy we were the only ones in line but we had to wait almost 30 min to place the order. Good: - Loved the juice shots! The liver detox and the caffeine energy one especially - The superfood açaí bowl was delicious - also huge portion size - Staff are nice - Good places to sit and chat Bad - Wait time was egregious - Seemed like the organization could have been better Overall this place was tasty on a hot day, just could have done a takeout order. read more

Went here twice, decent experience once while long wait during 2nd visit. Staff was welcoming on 1st but 2nd visit they were not willing to talk at all it seemed. We encountered different staff during our different visits so must be person thing. The option we selected was not available and had to settle with alternate selections. Heard other customers going through similar issues while ordering as well during both visits. While priced will surprise you when compared to Jamba juice pricing, but we felt quality was good and definitely value for the money. read more

Stopped by recently and had such a great experience! Susana & Valerie were both super sweet and welcoming the entire time. The store was really clean, the service was quick, and everything tasted fresh. I got the Strawberry Shortcake Bowl and my friend Lupita got the Radiant Raspberry Bowl and both were genuinely delicious. You can tell they actually care about quality and customer service here. Definitely one of the better Nékter experiences I've had and I'll absolutely be coming back! read more

Need more staff at this location. Every time my husband has gone he waits more than 30 mins for 2 drinks and this last time I tried to DoorDash I placed my order at around 8:50-9:00am and it barely got door dashed at 9:59am after my other DoorDash driver left because it was taking long. I understand if there's a couple problems but at this point I think it's just this location. I've tried the PD location and the other one further out and never have issues there. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Smoothie bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

I have been waiting 1 hr for my order. I have literally never been so frustrated waiting for food and drinks. Management needs to be retrained or replaced. Every single customer in this store is upset and the manager is doing nothing to address the issues (wrong orders, missing orders, EXTREMELY delayed orders). Not even apologizing for the absurd wait time! There's no way this is actually how Nekter operates. They lost hundreds of dollars today in sales in the time I waiting for my order as ppl were waiting 30 MINUTES and walking out. You guys good? read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Incredibly unorganized, slow and rude on top of everything! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

First time customer. Last time coming! Walked in ready to order.. but the business doesnt accept card payments or apple pay.. employee said "cash only" went to go get cash.. the was told "no bills over $20" in other words "we dont want anyones business" also the employee was not too excited to help us at all. 3/17 5:30pm read more

Waited 15 minutes for 1 smoothie. I was the only one instore. They didn't have ice so they added in extra bananas. Came out super thick, chunks of banana as well. Employee was sweet but terrible smoothie. read more

This place is horrible, not on par with their sister stores anywhere else. They stop serving juices 45min before they close, customer service is ALWAYS an issue here. Lack of acknowledgment when customers walk in, they prioritize online orders over guest coming in, and it seems like they make up their own rules. This is an embarrassment to the brand. Called customer service to complain about issues at this store that I noticed when I come here, they don't care, why would they, the transfer goes directly to the manager at that location. This has been ongoing issues for the last 3 years. This type of service isn't at the other local locations and especially not in the OC locations. Today, the had a cute little sign up, I wasnt the only one that took a picture of this sign "closed for cleaning and prep" t's a shame that this locations isn't better managed. When you complain to the other store about this location they tmw ton That the Indio store get a lot of complaint at their other locations . I hope you fix this please! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - The sign of them not serving bc they are prepping and cleaning. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

The juice is delicious, staff was friendly, and store was very clean. I would go back again.

I've always had a positive experience . All employees are very kind ! They need more than one worker. This is management problem and unfortunately it the one worker on shift that gets the horrible attitudes from rude customers. Currently have waited more than 30 min for my smoothie. read more

Staff was rude and did not want to do her job. There is no one in the store and I walked in and she told me that I could only place an order online (even though she was actively taking a guys order; the only other person in the store), then a couple walked in after me and she told them that she wasn't taking any orders. Super poor management or a worker that can't handle the "stress" of making smoothies. On top of that I asked for the bathroom code and she said it was out of order, but as we were waiting for our smoothies I saw the worker use it... Either way save your money on these over priced, poorly made shakes and go elsewhere! read more

Staff never acknowledges anyone I've came here 3 times and all times they're all so awkward never welcoming they were busy doing online orders and stocking up there fridge rather then help me out since I've been standing there for 10 min. They also don't let you know when your order is ready. They just set it on the table and have you assume it's yours there's no thank you there's no have a nice day. They're literally rude and the worst customer service ever. read more

Service is mostly non existent here and they close early often including 6 minutes today when it probably takes 90 seconds for my order.

the new owner smita is so kind! we came visiting from az and stopped at this nektar and she welcomed us immediately! shes so outgoing and sweet. i got a bowl from this nektar and it was impeccable. the liver shot was also quite the boost. great location and service! read more

I would give a zero, the guy preparing my smoothie had gloves one but touched everything with the gloves. He scooped out the fruit and grabbed the spinach then proceeded to grab a rag and wipe the counters, pour juice from a jug and operate the blender. Cross contamination galore. He also had long hair with no cap or net. I was so grossed out I got a refund and left. Don't know how they have an "A" health rating. Health department would probably shut them down. read more

For the prices we pay service can be better. Unless the boy at the counter yesterday 10/19/25 around 5pm doesn't get paid. Was in the restroom waited about 3 mins, store is a skeleton zone. He walks out completely doesn't acknowledge my daughter and I walks straight to his working area has his back to us, I said "Hiiiii" hes like "pick up right? Im assuming you want a cupholder" I bought 4 smoothies spent almost $60, little boy acted like I walked in his house and I inconvenienced him. So rude. In this economy and with other options for smoothies unless owners is purposely intending to close down then they're doing a great job at hiring those type of kids. read more

Good customer service but they should have more than one employee in the mornings when they are the busiest. Overall 10/10!

We checked google to make sure the place was open. We double checked Apple Maps too and when we showed up the door had a sign saying open 7 am to 8pm. It's 1 pm and the door was locked. There was a worker inside and she looked at us and said they are closed. It's 1pm why are you closed??? Idk not a great experience at all. read more

The girl working today September 10 at 10:30am has great customer service, very efficient, but to have her by herself working is unacceptable she had to deal with impatient customers. Which made me feel bad please take in consideration whoever owns this franchise that people aren't robots. Give the girl a raise for this. Very valuable worker. read more

Came in today and waited 20 minutes for one small juice. Ask yourself how is this fair considering the fact that I asked for a second and the young woman working the morning shift of June 13 , continues to fulfill countless smoothy bowls and did not check in until AFTER all of the posted orders had been fulfilled . Very inconsiderate. Also her shorts are way too short. Consider re-enforcing the dress code & also customer courtesy. Never did she ask if I was ready now or check in. Just completely disregarded the customers in line. There was multiple walk outs due to this inconvenience. read more

The acai bowls and seasonal parfaits are delicious! There was one employee working and she made all 3 of our items very quickly. The inside is very clean with a coded restroom for customers. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Superfood Bowl, Pumpkin Chai Parfait, PB&J Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

This place deserves a zero star, but the minimum is 1. We went there 3 days apart and ordered the same drinks, but received completely different products. They tasted and looked completely off from 3 days before...same place. The açaí drink was green, which is quite impossible to achieve because açaí is deep purple. The peanut butter drink was watery. Service on the first day was slow, and we thought the person was new. Service on the second day was not good, but faster, however the drinks were whatever the person felt like preparing. (A) if you're a customer, go somewhere else get your fruit drink/bowl (B) if you're from corporate: please audit and train this franchise. It's highly deposing against the brand. We're not going back there. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Popeye's Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Indio, California

Placed an online order 12/26/25 at 1pm. and went to pick it up at the pickup time (which is was 20 minutes after I ordered by the way) when I got there at pickup time my order had not been started, there was one single employee working (shame on the business for making her work alone) while I feel for her, she she did not have any sense of urgency, and she was not making a single item. She then informs me that my order will be 20 more minutes and shows me the row of order tickets on the wall. I was very confused at this because she was moving like she didn't have anything to do! Then I notice there is an entire lobby full of people at empty tables, so there are twenty people here, waiting for their orders and I'm sorry but to say she was taking her sweet time is an understatement. They either need to hire more staff or at the very least put someone on who is more efficient because I'm very understanding but this is ridiculous and I can see by the other reviews this is nothing new at this location. read more

15 minutes no one in sight to take my order. They might as well close the spot. I'm writing this review than Gona head out if no one shows up to take my order read more

I went to this location a few months ago and my smoothie was good but I moved across country a month ago and saw they have been charging my card this week! I called my bank to dispute it but that's super sus that I'm getting these charges. read more

Cute spot and good location. Açaí bowls are literally a smoothie and low grade granola on top (wish this wasn't the case) and to top it off they give you "toppings" which was literally 6 strawberry slices and chopped apples. Back to the drawing board team. read more

Service-1 Professionalism-1 Quality-1 Ordered two smoothies. Both tasted like the fruits were wither rotten or not ripe when frozen. Took one sip and asked for a return. Alisa said they don't do returns. The least offer should have been for us to purchase something else. I can see why the ratings are so low here. I don't expect this business to be around long. read more

Don't go to this location. I had a fraudulent charge of $10 on my bank statement yesterday from this location. Haven't been to this location in months! Very disappointed in this location, along with Nekter Corporate for their lack of urgency with this issue. My sister, who was also was charged, has reached out via phone AND through their website, and crickets. Not to mention we tried calling the actual location and no answer there, as well. Not surprised because the service is always meh. Don't go to this location. Something is fishy. We aren't the only ones with this issue either. Many others have posted about it on Google reviews. read more

I completely agree with the previous review. The young man who works here has a horrible attitude bad customer service. He doesn't greet you when you walk in and also doesn't let you know when he has finished your order. We were also trying to say cash but apparently he had already closed the cash register so we had to pay with our debit card which we were trying to avoid. Anyways he has a horrible attitude I don't know how the manager of this store has not payed attention to this guys customer service. I wasn't able to get his name but we came in on 5/19/24 at 7:40pm. He also rejected the other 4 customers who came in after us he told them he was closing already when there still was 20mins left. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

I decided to try out this place and I enjoyed every aspect of it!

It took a long time to take my Oder and no costumers was in the in the store.Also my drink had an after taste. There was no toilet paper in the restroom and I asked for toilet paper the staff gave me a roll instead of doing it themselves read more

The service her is exceptionally terrible. I walked in to order a drink, and no one was at the counter. I made eye contact with a woman seated in the back room and said hello. She looked at me and then turned around and looked at her computer screen as if I wasn't there. I waited another 20 seconds and had to leave due to the fact that it was clear the employee did not want to accept my business. read more
