Just stopped by this location, and Chezzie's kindness made all the difference. From my app glitching and my gift cards not working, and then walking me through some order options, Chezzie's patience, expertise, and genuine heart to help made this visit a joy. She loves her job and the customers (she even made sure my drinks weren't shortchanged on top), and it shows. I love meeting people who are great at their jobs and genuinely care - that epitomizes Chezzie! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Nektar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Irvine, California

What a great place to get something healthy and cool off. This was my first time at this location and it is pretty good. Pretty staff and pretty knowledgeable about the various superfoods and combo that taste great. I got the dragon fruit açaí bowl and it was delicious. Cost $11 around and it's packed with vitamins and screams all time healthy. One less star for dirty and sticky table but overall interiors of store is nice and bright and colorful. I got my order right away and chose to have agave drizzled on one side. They do have a coed bathroom that's convenient for guests. read more

Acai Banana Berry Bowl 02/08/2025 (9:31 am) -- HORRIBLE QUALITY!!! It looks like they poured a smoothie into the bowl and topped it with fruit. We frequent this location every other month or so and this is NOT the quality we are used to. We were very disappointed! I sent a message to Nekter through the app. I hope the owners are aware of the sub par food quality produced and lack of speed of service on 02/08/2025 at 9:31 am. read more

Love their shakes, especially their Health Nut Smoothy. I love bananas and dates in a shake with protein powder. I wan to try other recipes. read more

Great place to stop by on a weekday morning after a workout. Located right next to Pure Barre. You get a free ginger shot on check in. I ordered the açaí mango bowl. If you have nut allergies, you must look at the ingredients carefully as most bowls and smoothies have cashew or almond milk in them. The Açaí mango bowl had no nuts. The bowls were freshly blended and made so there was a wait time. But totally worth the wait! Easy to order at the cash register. The staff were friendly and kind. They have a rewards program so you can get the app and order online as well. Plenty of free parking outside in the strip mall. read more

Nekter Juice Bar is my favorite place to get shakes and juiced. My favorite ones are the health nut protein shake. My favorite one was the health nut with cashew nut instead of peanut butter. Their mangoo shake is also delicious. The service is friendly and quick. read more

Left the same review on class pass since used it to order my drink. - The guy who prepared my drink used the same gloves to ring me up and make my drink. Used his hands with the same gloves to take out extra ice from my cup before blending. Very unsanitary read more

I made my own smoothie with coconut water, açaí, banana, strawberry, blueberry and ice. It was so refreshing and delicious! I ordered online and was greeted immediately upon entering the shop. My smoothie was brought in a timely manner and the establishment looked clean and well maintained. I love that it's right next door to my sauna studio so it's perfect to conveniently grab a smoothie either before or afterwards! :) read more

I've stopped twice on my way to the community park next door and I've made it 15 minutes before closing and those two times the guy has already locked the doors ‍ Twice already! The second time I got there 6:46 thinking I'd be able to enjoy an açaí bowl but he signaled that they were closed. read more

I am really dissatisfied with Nekter's service, especially at their corporate office. I was so excited to do the cleanse, but unfortunately had very poor results. Halfway through the second day of this cleanse, I broke into a rash on my forearms. I scoured the website for warnings about side effects like this but found nothing. I called The corporate office the following morning and had to leave a message as, "all representatives were busy helping other customers". When I didn't receive a call back after six hours, I called again. This time Michelle answered and said, "oh, I got your message. I'm sorry I didn't call you back." I explained again about the rash. I've done other cleanses before without this result, I drank plenty of water, and followed the instructions to a T. She said it could be a "result of the toxins" but that she would look into it and call me back. After I didn't hear from them for another five hours, I called again. I was connected to the same person who didn't offer anything more than to repeat what she had already told me (which was very little). She spoke with zero empathy, said I should call my doctor, and left it at that. I've tried multiple times to call and reach a supervisor today, but I've only been able to leave a message and I have not received a return call. What if I got a bad batch? What if this is serious? Thankfully I don't think it is as I have no other symptoms. But even if I did, it doesn't seem like the people at Nekter care at all. read more

they always get your order wrong they put wrong things on your bowls that you don't want

Popeye Acai smoothie was amazing. I subbed cacao (+ $1) for spinach. Free ginger shot with check-in. Taste: amazing when fresh. The cacao nibs give some yummy texture. The smoothie tasted CLEAN and wholesome- not full of added sugars. A huge plus. read more

Love Nektar juice bar! Their ingredients are fresh. I usually get their Acai superfood bowl. I do wish they still offered hemp seed as a topping. I feel they are on the pricier side for their bowls, but each bowl is two servings for me, so when I do the math, it's a very good deal. Can't say I'm fond of their app for iphone. Clunky and not user friendly, especially if you want modifications. I've tried ordering on it before, but I just end up getting frustrated and waiting until I get there to order at the counter. read more

By far the worst nectar I have been to. I go to nectar a couple times a week, but I will probably stop using this location. I place my orders using the app and when I arrive the order is never completed at the designated pick up time. And it's not a one time thing, it's constant. They won't even be busy, but they will take 20 extra minutes to make a bowl. It's insane. Also, check out the half empty bowl container (are pic)....I have been getting açaí bowls from nectar for ages, but this location seems to skimp you badly. I don't know if it's the owners, the managers, or the staff, but someone here really sucks, and it is not what people are paying for when they visit nectar. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Half empty nectar bowl.....smh - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Irvine, California

Terrible service waited 30 min for a bowl. Wasn't worth the wait either. I really like their menu but would not go back to this location

I used to come to this location when my work location was a bit closer. The juices taste natural and not disgusting like other juice bar places I've been to and not going to name. The prices are adequate and the service is good. I haven't had a bad experience yet. The crowd that is here is usually younger and fitter looking people, which helps motivate me as well. Would definitely come back since it's summer time. Good to go! read more

I've been to many stores within the OC area of Nekter since I'm a big fan of açaí bowls. Yesterday was my first visit to this store, and I had a banana berry bowl, with only acai as the base for the blend. Their manager told me that they can't do this because, without the ingredients, the amount of base will only be half of the original. And to make what I ordered, I have to pay an extra charge. I am surprised because none of the previous stores has told me to pay extra for a choice that I can make directly through the app. The only concern they will have is the quantity and quality of the base blend, and I will tell them it's all right, I have no problem with the consistency, and they will substitute the three ingredients with açaí automatically. I hate to cause inconvenience for others, and it's not like I'm allergic to any of the ingredients, so I told the manager I'm fine to have it as it is, meaning keep the original recipe. However, the manager ended up doing me a favor and give me a bowl with only açaí as the base. I am pleased with their service and decided to come back tomorrow, which I did. With last experience, I have check the "add açaí"box for the extra charge and patiently waited for my bowl. One of the baristas, who is black hair, Latina, walk to me with no expression on her face, and said as her manager stated yesterday, this is prohibited, and I shouldn't order like this anymore. I thought she has misunderstood something so I told her I have paid for the extra charge through the app. I asked her several times if she scans through my order carefully, and her only reply was her manager said no, yesterday was an expectation, and today will be the last time. It's very embarrassing because I came back because I confirmed with the manager yesterday, that it will be fine as long as I pay for the acai. However, I decided to not waste my time with her arguing about this, and said ok. She puts the container on the table and walked away right after. What's even worth is that I received a bowl of açaí cashew milkshake. I had many pure açaí based bowls, and even compare with the one I get yesterday, it is not hard to find that they are trying to fool their customers by replacing the ingredients, including paid portion with their house cashew milk. The reason why I spent so much time talking about this is that it's such an unfortunate thing that I can't. This is the closest store near my home, and their fruit is the freshest and sweetest compared to other stores I've visited. The environment was great and the baristas are all young and good-looking ladies. I even preordered a pickup for tomorrow around the same time. I ended cancel it right after I exit the store. What's funny is that I finally decided to try the blend with everything instead of just açaí. All I have to say is to train your employees. As a person who worked in the customer service field, some of their performance is the bare minimum. If you are telling your customers this is their last order, then that will be the last time. read more

yummy Nekter Juice!!! This is my go to place when i'm looking for a detox after eating too well for the week LOL! ugh foodie problems! Nekter is located in the Quail Hill strip mall near the Starbucks/Chase side.

My go to drink here is the Apple Ginger Detox: Green Apple, cucumber, lemon, fennel, kale and ginger. You can have it served either plain or with ice. It tastes like a green machine but without all the sugar with a slight spiced kick from the ginger. The newly launched Skoop vegan ice creams are also super yummy!

Prior to arriving at this location I ordered 4 drinks online for my family . I don't live that far and I arrived little early at 933am on 5/16/21 . Upon entering the store, I told the female worker that was juicing at the front that I placed an online order. She snapped back that I was too early(turns out she was working on my order). I said ok I can wait. 5 minutes later a Caucasian male walked in. She greeted him nicely and respectfully asking him if he had an order and what his name was. As an Asian American this was a strange and uncomfortable encounter. Hoping this wasn't a racially driven encounter. I was expecting her to just say that she was working on my order and I was going to tell her that I had no problems waiting. But instead from the outset the encounter was very unpleasant and hostile, contrary to when the Caucasian male walked in. When I did picked up the order and we said thank you, she didn't even respond. Management please review this encounter read more

Nectar is one of the better juice bar trains. I really like their pink flamingo as well as the toxin flush, the flavors are delicious. Be prepared to wait a bit or call your order in if you are in a rush, the drinks are made to order which does take a bit. Service is nice and the store is very clean and well-maintained. Be sure to sign up for their email club to receive coupons. read more

Nice, clean store with friendly personnel. Special orders (extra ginger, replace strawberries with banana, etc) are accepted with no complaint. This place gets busy at lunch, so come in early or order (and pay) online. The peanut butter acai bowl is my favorite but it comes with 55 grams of sugar (sweetened with dates). The other bowls are less. read more

Terrible service! After waiting over 20 minutes, I had to check on my order. The employee checked in the refrigerators for the 1 Açaí Bowl I ordered and placed it on the counter with a "have a nice day". No apology, no "sorry for the wait", barely any eye contact. I completely understand that the establishment is busy preparing online orders, but for those customers who are waiting patiently in store. It would be greatly appreciated if we got the same attention. read more

It's a hit and miss here. Sometimes it is great, but sometimes it just doesn't taste right. Come here if you really like the brand.

Most tasteless smoothies we've ever had. Not sure if the girls made them wrong or their fruit is just bad or what, but all three of us agreed they were the worst. Threw mine out half full. read more
