**Disappointing Customer Service Experience -- August 24, 2026, Around 6:00 PM** I've been coming to this store almost twice a week, so I'm very familiar with what my usual smoothie should look like. Unfortunately, my experience today, **August 24th around 6:00 PM**, was extremely disappointing. I ordered the **Berry Banana Burst** with an added spinach. While watching my smoothie being prepared, I noticed the employee added what appeared to be an entire bag of spinach. I immediately knew it was significantly more than what I normally receive. I politely asked if it could be remade because the amount was excessive and completely different from the usual amount I receive. The employee went to the back and brought **Cassandra S.** out. Cassandra told me they could not remake the smoothie simply because the spinach had already been added. I was honestly shocked. I explained that this was clearly not the normal amount, but she still refused. I then asked for the other employee's name so I could provide accurate feedback, and she refused to give me her name, which I found very odd and unprofessional. Ultimately, I asked for a refund, which they provided. While I appreciate getting my money back, it raises a bigger concern: if a customer receives a drink that is incorrectly made, is the response really to refuse to fix it and simply refund the customer? That doesn't seem like good customer service or a good business practice. I actually work in the ingredient industry and sell ingredients to **Nekter**, so I have a particular understanding of how important consistency, preparation, and customer experience are. I would strongly recommend additional training for the staff at this location, particularly around customer service, product consistency, and having a customer-first mindset. I've been a loyal customer and would have much rather had my smoothie remade correctly than receive a refund. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'll be visiting another location going forward. I hope management reviews what happened during the **August 24th, approximately 6:00 PM shift**, because this was a very disappointing experience for a regular customer. read more

Easy parking & plenty of outdoor seating. My smoothie was yummy, I got the Almond Butter Smoothie without agave. 3 stars because service could've been friendlier & my cup (size small) wasn't filled all the way (and I could see more smoothie left in the blender). read more

This place is great f pure celery juice. The biggest one is only $12.99. Its like a commercial juicet your juice is ready in just a few minutes. I got mine b4 my pilates session at Equinox! - the taste was the best out of all diff types of celery juices i habe tried - the place is very clean - this is a winner! I'll be back! #grateful read more

A great place to fuel up on protein after a long bike ride. I recently joined the Orange County Wheelmen biking club and we meet every Saturday behind this juce bar to start our rides. Whether we go 26, 37 or 54 miles this is the place I stop to get a drink before driving home. I like to get the PB&J with extra whey protein and oat milk. The inside is nice as well. The restroom is clean and let's me change out of the cycling gear while waiting for my drink. Service is fast too. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - PB&J Smoothie Add Vanilla Whey Protein - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

got the orange crush, it is not good at all. I let the worker (Emily) know and she wouldnt let me choose another drink, instead she just poured more agave into it. Thanks but i don't like this drink even more now. My wife's drink was better. this is for forcing me to drink a drink that sucks! made the drink undrinkable on purpose and scammed me out of a drink. never go here this place needs to shut down read more

Nekter Juice Bar - this drink is the orange one, it sucks. do not get it. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Stopped in here a few times to redeem a ClassPass order (cause you can do that here now apparently)! Every time, the staff was kind and made it easy for me to redeem my order. They work quickly despite having a small staff and kitchen. Every time, my smoothie or juice was ready in 5 minutes or less. I tried the Orange Crush and the Green Juice, both were delicious and refreshing. There's ample seating indoors and outdoors and a parking lot with dedicated spots for pick up orders. read more

Hard to imagine a slower branch. Only one person working it feels like at all times no matter how busy. Not the one you want to visit unless you love waiting. Every time it never fails. read more

Needed a refreshing drink and this was one of the nearest juice bars. I'm a smoothie king type of girl but this was an excellent substitute! I ordered for pick up online via their website which was cheaper than DoorDash. I'm a very specific person so the make your own smoothie option was great. I did a fruit smoothie of pineapples, mango, strawberries and blueberries with apple juice and an immune booster shot. It was delicious. I wasn't sure how the apple juice would taste but it worked well. When I arrived there wasn't anywhere in the store. The person came from the back promptly and gave me my smoothie. read more

Extremely expensive for what you get. I like the idea of our smoothies being made with cashew milk, but for over $11? Holy smokes that's unnecessarily expensive. I got the Berry Banana Burst and the Pink Flamingo. They were good, but don't warrant the steep price. :::: I've just read the response from the owner, and still feel the inflated cost is unjust. I would have bought four drinks if the prices were slightly lower, and they would have gotten more of my money. The price hike is far too steep for what the patron gets, vs the minor expense of some berries, a banana, and a few cashews. I make an *entire blender full* in my own kitchen, for ~$3.25, paying full retail on my ingredients. This is just my 2¢. read more

Soooooo slow. You should probably have more than 1 person working on a Saturday morning!

Unprofessional and rude staff won't be coming back.... Instead of saying hi welcome what would you like I get an attitude from them saying hey like we can see you from the back you don't need to greet us we know when you walk in... so you know I'm there but ignore me and walk out with an attitude.. no thanx!! read more

Came back after a long hiatus due to sub par service , required mask wearing and denial of the free ginger shot checkin offer. This time there was smooth and warm transaction to get my delicious nutritious beverage. read more

Eh. Neither good nor bad; mediocre. I know back in the day people loved Nekter and it was really hyped up. I don't think I could ever follow that bandwagon. This place is ok at best and like many of the other reviewers, the prices are astronomical for the portion and service received. Generally not pleased, you can get an açaí bowl that is locally sourced, organic, whatever elsewhere at a much cheaper price, elsewhere. I can't even say the service is what would bring me back. read more

My friend and I got their elderberry smoothies while in the area--- overall, service was quick and smoothies came out fast, but it wasn't busy when we came in. The female employee was ok in terms of customer service. Nothing too memorable. Decor and ambiance was welcoming and nice. We sat inside to chat and enjoy smoothies; it was enjoyable and we didn't feel rushed out at all. Smoothie was really good. It packed a punch and I loved how I could taste the different fruits. It wasn't watery or too much ice. It's one of my favorite smoothies! read more

Had an online order to pick up 01/24 morning & Delaney (i hope i spelled that right) was tending to all the customers while making everyone's orders all by herself! She was very impressive and deserves a raise :-) happy with my order! read more

Such a disappointment at today's visit to this location. I've been going to Nekter for years since ~2017 and have always had great service and ingredients. Today, this location was out of half their base layers and half ingredients and then the employee proceeded to give out bowls minimal amounts per scoop. Won't be returning to this location ever again. read more

This is the worst nektar I've been too. The two girls working did not acknowledge my presence and took about 10 minutes to even take my order. And there was no line in front of me. This is apparently the only nektar that has different sizing for the " build your own bowl" so I got a smaller size for the same price at other locations! The açai tasted bad and different than all the other locations I've been too. Very disappointed with my experience here. read more

I really liked this place. Great place to be able to easily place an order on the app and easily pick it up. Was able to get a smoothie and then got there and was able to get my drink. The people there are kind and helpful. The place looks nice and ver chill. There are seats and tables. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Build Your Own Bowl (regular size) & Orange Crush (small). - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Located near John Wayne Airport. This is the only Nekter I know of that has BYO acai bowls (and trust me, I've been to almost all the Nekters lol). This is my FAVORITE place for acai bowls (yes, it beats Blue Bowls for me :D)! It is build-your-own. It is everything that Blue Bowls is BUT better because of the yogurt they use. I absolutely LOVE the yogurt. I even asked the employee what it was and he showed me the container. I have never had it anywhere else. It's a very unique flavor that makes all the difference in their bowls and sets them apart from other acai bowl shops imo. I usually add every topping available minus the cacao nibs (too bitter for me). LOVE the dried goji berries, adds the perfect texture. I do wish they were open on weekends though, but I understand they're catering to the offices nearby and probably only get business on the weekdays during lunch. Seriously, my favorite acai bowl. I wish I had discovered them sooner, and I wish more Nekter locations had the BYObowls! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Where to begin. Firstly you need lower sugar options not everyone wants a high glycemic smoothie. To make my own smoothie w one type of fruit, protein and almond butter it's $15 and tastes like water. Second, your manager needs a manager. You barely know how to utter a hello and want to turn the iPad around for a tip. I politely told the employee my smoothie didn't taste good and asked could you please add banana or something bc it's flavorless. He looks annoyed and said he had to talk to someone who had to talk to someone to get the original "manager." she goes well you made it yourself so basically it's your fault. Making my own smoothie doesn't mean the fruit should taste like ice and your protein powder tastes like nothing w chalk powder. She goes I can make it for you but it would be a small "because you tried it." Are you kidding? I paid for a medium. Just straight up the definition of bad customer service. I won't be back and want my money back. read more

DO NOT COME HERE/give business so another business can come in with quality. This is a repeater issue for this location: There is rarely a situation where I feel "ripped off" but thus is absolutely one of them. Got a large but ended up with a HALF filled container. Paying L price for M amount. Not to mention low quality (translucent pineapple) and low quantity (half strawberry) toppings. read more

Very nice and courteous young people working here. I believe the business owner should be proud. They get 4+ stars. $15 for a small açai bowl...Is rent that high here? How much could the owner absorb without sending the wrong message to his customer base? More importantly, how much can that land/leaseholder absorb in order to not hurt his owner-tenants? At what point is the landowner unjustifiably demanding an exorbitant monthly rent from small businesses, who are then forced to pass on the expense? A business owner's cost of goods is based on supply and demand of the goods, especially now with international energy conflicts ensuing in Europe and Asia. A landowner, however, is frugal and will use a theoretical "market-based rents" approach in order to extort a business owner/tenant. This landowner selfishness mentality is a stain on our beautiful American Culture. It is leading to poverty, food degradation and a cold community here in the United States....it's so sad! While not imposing guilt to the business, $15 for a small açaí bowl is a joke and a great way to dampen someone's day as they walk out the door. A portion of this may be caused by international conflict being felt here in the states. However, an unselfish landowner could fix all that by not unjustifiably raising rent if they wanted to. I wish you much success and prosperity, but how about another scoop of açaí base for that $15? read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Fits in the palm of my hand......$15. And the landowner continues to charge exorbitant rents to his small business owners.... - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Irvine, California

Very nice and quick spot, for my visit the employees were very kind and helpful with my annoying questions. I liked the açaí bowl overall (especially their granola) the only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because I just wished their base was less sweet. A bit too sweet for my likings! Overall: cheap and fast açaí bowl tho! read more

Looks very promising but tasted like nothing. We got the Berry Banana Burst and Mango Delight smoothies. The consistency was good and the sizing was pretty good for its price. While I wasn't expecting super sweet drinks or anything, there was absolutely no taste at all in either smoothies. The Berry Banana Burst had a very slight unripe sour strawberry taste, but it seemed like both had too much ice and it ended up tasting very bland. read more

Honestly, this was the best decision ever. I came here for the new Bowl Bar launch special/promo, and I was so thrilled with the changes they made to their superfood bowls. Nekter acai bowls were always at the bottom of my rankings when it came to all of the other options/locations I could get acai bowls at. But after trying their new style bowls, I've definitely become a fan. I like how they have so many good options for bases and toppings. My concoction was glorious. Of course I gotta do the large size! xD My only issue is that without the promo pricing, this is a bit expensive. Even compared to the superfood bowl places I normally go to, this is on the high end. I think this factor is why I probably won't come here often. If they were maybe $1-2 less, or maybe had a rewards/stamp card system, or if it were cheaper than like Paradise Bowls and Berry Brand, I would come here probably once a week. Otherwise, I'll probably stop by once a month or so. Overall, highly recommend trying them out. If they ever lower their prices, I'll probably be back more often ;) read more

I have been craving my usual nekter combo lately so I stopped by the closest store to me on my route home. I hate to say it but it has been such a disappointment because this location is a "build your own bowl" type of location ( which... what? ) and they are unable to blend anything more solid than the frozen açaí into the base of any bowl. The original staff member I placed my order with was super helpful but did not properly explain that he'd be unable to add the coconut flakes and cocoa nibs to my bowl. I always get the "PB Protien Power Bowl" and add one extra scoop of PB on top. The first picture is what the bowl looks like... the screenshot is of the actual protien power bowl sold at normal locations, and the third pictures the replacement bowl. I did go back in to have my bowl remade as this was a $23 stop & i refuse to be okay with spending that much to get a runny smoothie and the worst bowl i've ever had.. haha. The employee that was at the counter was super helpful and we worked out how to make the bowl where it was as close to my usual as possible. While I was working this out with the employee, the woman i believe to be the manager turned to tell me "Just so you know we won't be able to do this again here" in a off-putting tone. I nicely replied with "That's okay I won't be coming back here" and finished going over the ingredients. I was very happy to see this bowl, he also upsized the bowl for me which was very kind of him! BE SURE TO CHECK THE LOCATION MENU AND SPECIFICS BECAUSE HAD I KNOWN THIS LOCATION CANT BLEND EVEN COCONUT FLAKES INTO A BOWL I WOULDVE WAITED UNTIL I GOT HOME TO BE ABLE TO ORDER AT MY LOCAL/ REGULAR STORE. 8/10 for service! All employees were kind and generous! 0/10 for food, or availability of menu items. Smoothie was thin and gross - fruit didn't look very fresh & the menu overall is limited. I will not be returning to this location unless necessary (meaning i really just want a smoothie and it's the closest to me, but that most likely not halogen read more
