    Protein Power Bowl (not the best presentation) kinda sloppy looking.
    Mari B.

    Okay so I'm here again ans my first review I gave them a one star for terrible customer service and terrible drinks as well. This was four YEARS ago, the owner said to give them another chance so here I am. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and they've succeeded (they deserve a 3). The ambiance was busy, they have a lot of people coming in and taking out orders but not really sitting inside to drink their smoothies or juices or eat their bowls there. We sat inside and finished our protein bowl with vanilla whey protein and it was delicious. The service was good nothing amazing, I used the restroom but they should have a sign that says "no code needed" since I was standing there until they looked at me and said "you don't need a code." And well, I felt dumb. But how was I supposed to know? There were only two employees and for how busy it is I feel three employees would be ideal. One at the register, cleaning organizing and the other two making bowls and drinks. Ever since I've come here they seem to be short staffed maybe they don't make as much money to pay employees.

    We wanted something quick for the road and was already near here, so stopped by. I got the Dragonfruit Bowl, and it was really good. Nice, fruity, and refreshing.

    I've been going to Nekter for years. Every time I go to Nekter I usually order the berry bowl without bananas. I'm not a huge fan of bananas. Nektar usually blend their açaí base with bananas. I had mine blended with just the berries. I think that option caused the base to be very thin and watery. I was not thrilled with my order but since I opted out of the banana base they may have caused the bowl to be more on the soupy side. I must say the fruit is always so fresh at nektar. The service and ambiance is always great when I visit nektar. The place is always clean and the to-go food and drinks are always organized. I will definitely continue to visit nektar even though I recently found other locations (not nektar) that were closer to me to purchase my açaí bowls.

    Today I got the tropical cooler and added mango! She was so patient and helpful with me while I was so indecisive hehe. It's just I didn't want anything too sweet like last time but I also wanted coconut water instead of cashew milk. That's why I'm SUPER DUPER HAPPY with my choice. Not too sweet and super refreshing!!!! Def recommend. #BetterThanMovitas

    I always say: "if it's free, it's for me"! ;-) I've had my eye on this place and the Pumpkin Smoothie for a little while now. {I need all the pumpkin things this time of year}! I decided to do a google search to see if any coupons were and available. To my surprise, I found that if you download the app (as a first timer) you get a FREE 16oz smoothie. Score!! So that I did... It didn't take too long to make my drink (I asked as I had an appointment to be at). I really enjoyed it! Very tasty. It was nicely blended and smooth. A good pumpkin taste. Light and not too "spice-y". I would definitely come back but I'm not sure how often that will be as $7.55 for a 16oz. drink is a bit steep for me. If I can find another coupon I'd be more likely to visit.

    They have an interesting drink selections. I got the pink flamingo. I taste mostly pineapple juice and this interesting taste afterward that I think is from coconut water. They have a Kirby special. Service was good. Drinks makes me feel more healthier or energetic. I'd probably get an acai bowl next time.

    After seeing some of my health numbers deteriorate during this pandemic, I realized I needed to make some changes to my eating habits. While brainstorming ways to do that, I had suddenly remembered seeing a Yelp friend post a review of a Nekter Juice Bar where she was encouraged to download the app and register for their rewards program to earn a free 16 oz drink/smoothie. Knowing that there was a Nekter in Long Beach by the traffic circle, I decided to check it out for myself. After browsing Nekter's website www.nekterjuicebar.com, I noticed that was indeed true. If I provided my email address and downloaded their app, I could earn a reward for a free 16 oz drink/smoothie as a welcome to the Nekter family! I could have redeemed the reward anytime within the next two weeks, but I chose to use it the same day. As previously mentioned, Nekter in Long Beach is located by the traffic circle. It's in the same plaza as Chipotle, Halal Guys, Vons, Planet Fitness, Baskin Robbins, and a few others, so parking definitely shouldn't be an issue. I arrived on a Saturday late afternoon at the same time as another customer. We were the only two customers inside at the time, and since I needed time to look at the menu, I let the other customer order first. As I looked at the menu, I saw that the Functional Smoothies were 50 cents more than Superfood Smoothies and the Fresh Juices. Because my health numbers were getting worse, the Health Nut, a Functional Smoothie, caught my eye. I asked the cashier if the 16 oz free drink/smoothie could be a Functional Smoothie, and she answered affirmatively. I also asked if I could redeem the Yelp check-in offer of a free ginger wellness shot. However, she did not think both could be done in the same transaction, so I just settled for the Health Nut smoothie, which consists of peanut butter, banana, dates, housemade cashew milk, vanilla protein, and agave nectar. You can substitute the peanut butter for almond butter for $1 more, but I stuck with peanut butter. Next, the cashier asked if I wanted Vanilla Whey Protein or Vanilla Pea Protein. I wasn't familiar with these proteins, but she did mention that pea protein was plant-based, so I went with that. The wait wasn't too long. Maybe about 3-5 minutes I'd say? And that was with the first customer ordering a bowl and another drink; the staff member who handed him his order also offered a paper bag. When I got my smoothie, I thought it looked like a milkshake, but it sure didn't taste like one! I wasn't exactly a fan of how it tasted. The smoothie was incredibly thick, and the straw was pretty thin, so you can imagine how much I struggled with each sip! It was easier to drink as the smoothie got warmer, but I left it in my fridge for the next three days. In addition, I could taste the individual dates, which I'm not sure if I was supposed to? Overall, my taste buds thought the Health Nut was "just alright." On my next visit, I ordered a Cold Brew Protein, another Functional Smoothie, and I liked that one better than the Health Nut. A Cold Brew Protein smoothie consists of cold brew coffee, banana, vanilla protein, housemade cashew milk, and agave nectar. I don't remember how my mood was around the time I ordered that smoothie, but I remember that with every sip I took, I felt better knowing that I was drinking something that was good for my body. If you've been used to milkshakes, milk tea, and other drinks that may have a ton of sugar, you'll notice the taste difference because the drinks at Nekter are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that are necessary for your body to function properly. Anyways, I almost gave Nekter 3 stars, but I liked the Cold Brew Protein well enough to give it the 4th star. On that same visit, I had a reward for a free wellness shot, and I chose elderberry. The elderberry shot came in a small cup, but I needed two gulps to finish it. It sure packed a punch, and it sure came in handy at a time when I was feeling kind of drowsy and needed that extra jolt to get me through the afternoon. Nekter might not have the best tasting drinks, but at least they are healthier than In-N-Out milkshakes! It's good to know that there's an option for healthy drinks and bowls, and I could get points for every purchase I make! However, the drinks seem pretty pricey for the size, and I don't want to fall into the habit of being too healthy. Or a better way to put it, I don't want to splurge too much on the drinks not knowing how much of a benefit it will really have on my health. Only time will tell I guess!

    Acai Banana Berry Bowl
    Bryan T.

    I live nearby so I frequent this shopping plaza often and I thought I'd try Nekter today since it was hot. I was craving an Açaí bowl and ordered the one with banana and berries and it was $10. I thought it was okay, portion was good but it didn't really taste sweet. I prefer Berry Brand and Blue Bowl more for açaí bowls. They also make juices and smoothies as well.

    She has horrible customer service, and she admits it and she says she doesn't give a f¥k

Friendly/fast service. 2. Line moves fast even when it is long. 3. They don't skimp on the scoop sizes - portion size + price + taste (quality) = return customer. 4. Plenty of parking. Cons 1. Limited seating options. Things to note - Not an indoor establishment. Either you picking up and eating on the go or you can find nearby seating options and enjoy the location. Handel's is located in a busy shopping center. Plenty to see or main food course options available.

Not only am I a fan, but my dog is too. When I came in I was immediately greeted by - Lelan and Alec. They knew it was our first time so they gave us some time to think about what we wanted and they did not rush us and they were not super annoyed that it took us a few minutes They were really friendly and helpful. Asked if we wanted to sample any of the flavors and etc. they don't have a HUGE variety, but they have the standard flavors and my favorite, birthday cake (which looks amazing. It's so colorful) You can tell they use good quality ingredients We ended up getting a scoop of Vietnamese coffee And a birthday cake scoop and made it into a sundae They have merch (clothes, but also they have the cutest pins and keychains) They have a private parking lot They have ice cream cakes They have ice cream bars Now, for my dogs favorite part. My pup only has a few teeth left and she's gotten stubborn when it comes to drinking water. So I'm always looking for treats she can have. They have pup ice cream (we've tried so many and they always have preservatives / all this added stuff, Or she doesn't like it) This is a peanut butter ice cream with just 4 ingredients and she goes CRAZY for it They have private parking Vegan options Service is extremely helpful and friendly And my dog is their biggest fan Don't forget their ice cream bars, floats, sundaes, milkshakes and more Also, 5 stars for Alec and Lelan If you have a dog, you definitely have to try the doggy ice cream PS before coming look up their hours. They don't open very early
