I love coming across a Nékter location because they have a great selection and high-quality options. This Desert Ridge location was just as I expected -- I grabbed a Wellness Nut protein shake, a couple of juices, and some wellness shots, both premade and freshly prepared. Everything from the menu is fresh, and you can really taste it. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. It's a convenient spot and a perfect wellness go-to for anyone looking for healthy, flavorful drinks or a quick, nutritious boost! read more

I've given Nectar more chances than they deserve, and this latest experience sealed it for me. This is the second time I've ordered delivery through their app and had the order show up absurdly late -- or not at all. I normally pick up my smoothies, but I recently had surgery and can't drive, so delivery wasn't optional. I placed my order at 10:38 AM, was told it would arrive by 11:20, and it didn't show up until 12:20. An entire hour late for a smoothie. When I called the store to cancel once it was clear the order was going to be extremely late, the employees told me they "aren't empowered" to issue refunds -- but somehow are empowered to charge my card. Make that make sense. Their only solution was to email the same customer service address that ignored me the last time this happened. I emailed repeatedly back then and never received any real help. To make matters worse, ordering through DoorDash would have at least waived the delivery fee because I'm a DashPass member -- but Nectar doesn't give loyalty points unless you order through their own app. So I tried to support them directly, and this is the treatment I get. Between the high prices, the nonexistent customer service, and the complete lack of accountability, I'm done. Thank goodness Tropical Smoothie opened out west, because Nectar clearly has no interest in taking care of their customers. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - It's text messages time stamped 11:17 AM from the delivery company. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been going to the desert ridge location since it opened. I love Nekter. The only issue is they say that they open at 7am. Today is the third time in the last month or so that I tried to go there at around 730am but the door was locked even with the open sign on. I will say, the service and quality overall is great. read more

Questional music playing inside- all 3 songs were explicit and about sex while I waited for my order. Extremely inappropriate. Workers should also be required to wear caps that cover their hair and at the very least should not be allowed to wear sweatpants to work. read more

The guy and lady today was very helpful and so nice, told me about the app and got me set up! Food was delicious and made perfectly. Should look like the picture every time. Very thankful for those 2 today! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Go Bananas - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered three smoothies through the nectar app for a total of $51. Apparently they outsource to DoorDash for delivery and although I never received my smoothies, nectar takes no responsibility for them not getting here. DoorDash cannot reimburse me as the order was not under my DoorDash account and nectar refuses to work with me. I think it's ridiculous that I paid $51 for three smoothies that I've never received. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Receipt - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered online and they said that everything was in the bag and it was missing items from the order. when I reached back out they told me I can come back in and I asked if I could just have it reimbursed and they told me I have to send an email which I did and I never received a response. Their customer service is definitely lacking and I won't be going back to this location read more

The service was exceptional this afternoon. There was a young lady training another young lady with so much patience and kindness it was definitely noticed. And the trainer also mentioned she had gloves and couldn't touch register which I REALLY appreciated!!! Great job and very clean! read more

Visited Nékter for the first time after my son's barber highly recommended a visit. I ordered the Açaí Peanut Butter bowl with almond butter, pea protein, and blueberries added and honey drizzle. It was by far the most refreshing delicious and satisfying healthy treat I've had in a while. I read their various fresh juice options and plan to take advantage of one at my next visit. This is a better alternative for the sweet tooth than cookies and ice cream. 10/10!! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great healthy drinks, staff was very friendly! Emery made us a great drink. A bit noisy with all the juicing would be my only complaint. Can they put a silencer on those things? read more

The noise level in this place is awful. The constant noise of the machines could be easily deaden with a some acoustic panels. As a customer I only had to be here a few minutes but the employees I few are going to have long term ear problems. Take care of your employees, they are young and don't know better... read more

I took my son to get an Acai bowl today and it wasn't even half full. I should have said something to the girls working but I didn't have time to deal with it. The girls working were not overly friendly either. I paid $12.26 for this. Ridiculous. Definitely won't be back. There are plenty of other places to get an acai bowl that will be served with a smile and FULL. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Slender Greens - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The staff here act very inconvenienced when taking your order. 3 separate times with the same attitude- Ordered to go, the girl said it's ready then quickly went to the back- no lid, no bag. The " protein" açaí consists of a big cup of the açaí ice cream, with a tablespoon of peanut butter sauce and a tablespoon of coco nibs... Im not going back read more

We've had great luck with this location! We love their açaí bowls. They are not like the real deal, but are delicious nonetheless! We like to order online and then pick up in store. The orders are always done on time and correct. They keep the orders in the freezer until you arrive. We love the mango coconut bowl. Make sure you download their app so you can build points with your purchases! read more

They moved! They are on the Target side now (or the map was wrong to begin with! ) spent 20 minutes looking for them. Excited to find it and got to the door to read online orders only! read more

I was craving something fruity, so I stopped by Nekter after my morning yoga class. I tried one of their açaí bowls. It was much larger than I expected and loaded with fruit and granola. It looked so good that I couldn't wait until I got home to eat it - I just ate it in my car. I've had a smoothie from one of their other locations, and that was good; however, I think an açaí bowl will be my item of choice whenever I come here again. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Açaí peanut butter bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

*****Read the comment from management in photo below**** I emailed them like they asked and 22 days later no response!!!! Came here for a smoothie for my daughter and it took at least 20 minutes to get it. Once I got it they didn't even fill it up to the top. You spend over six dollars for a smoothie and you expect to get six dollars worth. I believe I saw the owner or at least manager in the store but he was too busy talking to someone rather than looking at all the customers just sitting there waiting for their items they purchased. This store is dirty and the bathroom was disgusting. If you are providing a service make sure your store is adequately staffed. I highly recommend going to other Nekter stores and avoiding this location. The "business owner" should be ashamed of themselves for not holding up to the Nekter brand. Ready other reviews for this location. Shame on you for not doing anything about your poor service. read more

I absolutely love going in and getting my ginger or turmeric shot. And the açai Smoothie with a serving of Chia seeds and you've got the best smoothie! I will definitely be back. read more

Love this place! Actually healthy ingredients and not too bad in calories and sugar- unlike Jamba Juice. I actually felt good letting my child order a drink here as the ingredients are amazingly healthy with consideration of sugar content, etc. Check it out! My juice tasted so fresh. We will make this a frequent place to take our kids. read more

The staff is friendly and quick. Was in and out in like 5 minutes. I got a Acai Mango Bowl and ate every last bit of it.

Went in this morning for a smoothie bowl and wanted to try something new. The girls were very helpful in giving me recommendations. I ended up going with the new pitaya passion fruit bowl and it was DELICIOUS! I was sad to hear that the passion fruit items are seasonal:( Will definitely be coming back! read more

I love Nektar! I've been coming more than usual lately. Pretty much every time I come only two people are working which seems to cause issues. I love the açaí berry bowl! It's so good and I highly recommend it. My son absolutely loves just a strawberry banana smoothie with agave as the sweetener! They're wearing masks and gloves now which makes me feel a lot safer. I'm a covid nurse and I keep my eye on that everywhere I go! And they require all customers to have masks on! If you haven't tried Nektar you're missing out! Update: I wrote my original review while I was waiting. I ordered an açaí banana berry bowl with gluten free granola. Not only did 10+ people who came in after me get their order first but they completely forgot mine. Once it was made it was made completely wrong. In total I was there for over 30 minutes for a simple take out order. The girl behind the counter was very sweet and apologetic but I thought it was a bit odd that not only did they not offer to refund me, they took the original berry bowl that was incorrectly made and put it behind the counter instead of offering to just let me keep that one as well. Again, the girl working was super sweet, apologetic, and seemed genuinely sorry which is why I'm giving them three stars. read more

I have now waited 45 minutes for my acai bowl, this is the second time I have waited extremely long times at this location. Never again. Update, found a hair in my acai bowl. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Not even busy - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

First off I want to start with this review is coming from a barista, I totally understand how hard it is to work in customer service and what it's like to need tips, but the two girls I came in contact with today were just plain so rude to me, they were two blonde girls with eyelash extensions probably around 17-20, I go to Nékter probably two or three times a week but not often this location, I walk in and they go to the back immediately just to talk with each other.. I understand if they are short staffed but there was only one other person in the store ordering, a couple minutes later when I tried to get her to notice me she was very short and rude with me, I left a $1.00 tip because I still wanted to leave something but don't have a lot and I got scoffed at, When I finished my order the two girls started laughing making my bowl and when they handed out my bowl it was basically half full and my bowls never look like this, she didn't say anything to me when she slided the bowl to me and I said "have a good one" and got ignored and just watched them snicker and laugh to the back, I have Never left a review before but these girls just honestly gave me very mean girls vibes and my bowl was half full with spoiled looking fruit and it was all around just a bad experience.

Successfully placed an online order at 6:25pm this evening, they said my order would be ready at 6:40pm, they close at 7. Arrived at 6:43 to lights off, stools on tables but door was open. I ran in to get my order and the girl said they didn't have it, online orders stop at 6:30. NO APOLOGY , no "let me make it for you now" Just a refund receipt. Bizarre. They were open for another 15 min and she wouldn't make my order. Horrible customer service. read more

Went there for a açaí bowls after paying the employee at the register. I walk to sit down and watched the lady who took my money grab my food for the açaí bowl with the same gloves she grabbed my cash with !!!!! It was so loud in there the lady could hear me say change your gloves . That's one of the grossest things ever and unsanitary!!!! I will never be Back!!!!! read more

I like the concept of eating super healthy, but I have to say, the value for the money is just not there. I ordered one of their seasonal bowls and paid over $11.00 (with tax). It definitely was not worth it. I mean, it was 'ok' but for 11 bucks I should be WOWED and I just wasn't. All I can say is I hope they pay their staff well because I can tell you the ingredients in the bowl don't cost $10.50. I don't blame a business for wanting to make a profit but c'mon, the bowl probably costs MAYBE $2 bucks to make... Probably won't get a bowl ever again. MIGHT come back to try a smoothie. But so far, NOT impressed. For the record, got the Pumpkin Almond bowl, one of their seasonal items. There was literally nothing 'pumpkin' about it. Too much banana flavor for my taste. False advertising. read more

How could you guys possibly not take apple pay? Why are you guys so behind? Way to lose out on a 100$ order!!

On two separate occasions I've come in to order a bowl and twice they're out of gluten free granola. I order the same thing at locations all around the valley. This location apparently does not know how to order their inventory. I will never come back to this location. Waste of my time!!! Plus the app won't let me order it the way I do in the store. I would love the gas money I've wasted driving to this store. read more

DISGUSTING. I HATED EVERY SECOND OF IT. IT WAS LIQUIDY AND JUST TASTED BAD! YUCK! I will not be returning to this nekter. You've lost your best customer and it saddens me to say that. I hope your business fixes their problems so i can enjoy my daily açaí bowl once again. read more

Came in for skoop. It seemed busy in there and I'm patient, but the girls working completely forgot about me. My friend who ordered well after me got his order before me and the two guys after him also got their order before mine as well. I sat at the front and they ignored me, until I finally went up and asked where mine was. read more

This location doesn't even deserve one star. It's unsanitary, the equipment wasn't clean, the countertops were filthy, the tables haven't been cleaned, bathrooms are filthy. The staff doesn't practice sanitation / one of the female staff members sneezed, wiped her face while holding our drink in her hand and proceeded to bring it over without cleaning her hands or offering to remake the drink after clearly contaminating it. Absolutely DISGUSTING. Don't work in the food and beverage industry if you're incapable of practicing good cleanliness/sanitation while serving the general public. DON'T GO HERE. read more
