Whilst visiting the Shoppes at Carlsbad, popped in here to grab a smoothie before leaving the mall. Lots of good, customizable options for smoothies. Fast service, friendly staff. Small store but clean and orderly. Prices are a wee bit expensive but that's to be expected for a mall shop. Regardless, a very tasty smoothy that hit the spot when needed. Would definitely go back again if the mood were to strike. read more

I always stop by this place in the mall whenever I drive down to SD. I've been here multiple times, and the quality has stayed consistent. Their smoothies are always really good and taste fresh. My go-to is the Thai tea smoothie, and I love the agave they use in it. I also like that they offer tapioca. It's super chewy with a really good brown sugar flavor and goes perfectly with the smoothie. The store itself is small but cute and clean, and the service has always been really friendly. Definitely a solid spot that I like coming back to whenever I'm in the area! read more

Great drink especially with the hot days. Try it out. I usually get the strawberry and banana w/protein.

I always come here when I'm in the mall, the smoothies never disappoint. My go to is still the strawberry banana. Lines can get long but they be whipping out smoothies super fast. read more

You could've gotten 5, however peach mango is the worst drink at the place. by the way, take your time to make the extreme oreo, the escondido location is way better made than the one here in carlsbad. stop adding too much drizzle, it's mid. friendly hospitality, except the asian guy, he kinda scawy. read more

Ok hear me out. We were last minute Christmas shopping in the shoppes at Carlsbad and my hubby decides to stop and get a smoothie while I'm shopping. As I finish in store #3, I stop to regroup with my husband and he tells me "you really need to try a smoothie, it's really good, and service is FAST".... Me, being impatient first said "no"....but my stomach said YES. Now, if you've ever seen the "Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld...the ordering system is VERY similar so make sure you know what you're getting-the owners don't play games . I am a simple person and a traditional Strawberry + Banana sounded good. They asked my order while I was in line-by the time I paid my smoothie was ready. They had 3 people on the blenders, and let me tell you, they were on it!! Kudos Surf City squeeze-your system works and the quality of drink was wonderful and definitely hit the spot! read more

This place is so good! I love their smoothies and my favorite is strawberry Mango . Yummy! I think it's my favorite smoothie place this far. read more

Service was great and really fast but these are really not smoothies. They're more like milkshakes or dessert drinks. We got the peach mango and the mermaid bay - both were so creamy and sweet we immediately threw them away. I was really disappointed since I was expecting a Robeks or Jamba type smoothie that tastes like actual fruit and not marshmallow. There's also no indication of what ingredients are actually in the drinks besides the fruit (which you can barely taste). I'm allergic to dairy and did not expect there to be dairy in my drink but it really tasted like there was read more

My favorite smoothies! They aren't like ur typical fresh fruit smoothies taste wise, they taste more artificial to me I think I saw them put some powder in it but whatever that is I love it... I'm assuming it's whatever gives it their "signature flavor" because it has that taste in all their smoothies. Idk what kind of crack they sprinkle into their signature smoothie mix but I'm addicted. I crave these smoothies in my free time. The strawberry banana and the blueberry banana are my go to flavors! read more

Wow I must be late to the game! It took me having kids who love smoothies to try this place. My son ordered the peach mango and I got the peanut butter banana. JUST PURE DELICIOUSNESS. My sons drink had a nice creamy sweet taste to it which made me go wow! my drink was a delicious dessert drink that tasted like a reese's pieces. I crave their smoothies now. Way better than jamba juice. read more

Favorite smoothie place in Oceanside / Carlsbad area . Staff is friendly and service is fast :) .

The best place to grab a strawberry banana smoothie hands down! Even after the remodel of the mall, this place was still kicking when most of the stores were gone and I'm really happy to see them back but at a new part of the mall with actual seating. In a sad sense they took over Cinnabons old space and I really loved Cinnabon but I'll take this trade to compliment the loss. There is always a line most of the time but they are quick to prepare your order and get you going. They have tons of other smoothies and healthier options to choose from and even the owner of this place can be found working diligently with the staff to get through the busy rush hour. Overall, great staff and delicious shakes and you can bet your hard cold cash that I'll be a returning customer from here on out. read more

Hate that they are closed right now. Loved stopping by before work to eat a nice Strawberry, Banana and Kale smoothie. Best smoothies ever. Can't wait for them to open up. I definitely recommend going when they do open up. read more

Do not order the açaí bowl here ! It is tiny for the $6.50 dollar price !! When I ordered it I was shocked to see the tiny container it comes with. It is way way too sweet! Please so don't waste your money here! The portion seizes are ridiculous for their price. Never coming here again! read more

Surf City Squeeze - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I have been to different Surf City Squeeze locations. My all time drink is the strawberry-banana smoothie. It still taste the same from when I first had this drink... Years ago at the Plaza Bonita mall in San Diego. There have been a couple times I opted for a different drink- mocha flavored with boba. I have to say I was disappointed. The girl that made the drink put too much powdered mocha. It tasted like it was missing a key ingredient. As far as service is concerned, the girls here are pretty quick. Some are more helpful and knowledgeable than others. I really dislike the girls that give you this uncomfortable blank stare. That teaches me to stray away from the strawberry-banana smoothie. read more

Disgusting. Just wasted $8 on a açaí smoothie that she add a huge blob of white stuff and it was so sweet and tasted like garbage. I threw it away. And I'm pretty sure I heard her tell the guy that I was watching them. Yikes read more

Totally love the strawberry banana smoothie. There is always a line here but it's good. If ur looking for healthy kind of smoothies they have a few but this place is more of milkshake smoothie. The owner is usually there and he makes it on point, some times the young bucks are there n they put too much ice but just tell them easy ice and problem solved. Ask for a punch card they have it from time to time. read more

Surf City Squeeze - Strawberry banana - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I LOVE Surf City Squeeze smoothies! Fresh, tasty, best in town! I work in customer service and rarely complain but, the young lady that helped me this afternoon was rude, short, and far from personable. Surf City Squeeze makes delicious smoothies but needs to hire better customer service! read more

So the reason why I'm giving one star is because all 3 smoothies that I have bought from this place were complete trash. The first one I bought was the Ginseng Fling, which has protein in it. When I got it it tasted nothing like ginseng and very much like protein powder which also sat at the bottom of the cup. My sister got this other fruit smoothie that ended up being very watery. The third smoothie I just bought today was the Apple and Peach "fresh fruit" smoothie. I was sadly disappointed once again because I'm almost positive they used APPLE JUICE in my smoothie. The lady was pouring some white cream like stuff in it. When I got it, it tasted exactly like a whipped up marshmallow, or something similar. And it was VERY NOTICEABLE. I took the first sip and made a weird face because it was so unexpected. read more

It's back! I was sad that they were gone for a while since this is the only place I'll get smoothies at. I always get their strawberry banana smoothie, it has that perfect banana to strawberry ratio where it isn't too watery or too thick- and they used condensed milk as sweetner which adds that extra layer of flavor. Love it. Unfortunately the mall its in is kind of dead, hopefully with the new re-model it will bring life into that area and I will have more reasons to go there and pick up a smoothie. read more

I love their smoothies but don't ask the "kids" behind the counter for special orders or nutritional information. They give out wrong info and got my special order wrong. If you're looking for lo-cal...their "Chillers" would be the way to go--in 12 oz you'll get less than 200 calories. I love the way the smoothies taste--unbeatable! Try the seasonal peppermint smoothie--yum yum. read more

5 stars because the staff punches out a delicious smoothie in very little time at all! Sometimes there will be one person working in the little kiosk managing many drinks, sometimes I've seen 3 employees handling a few drinks each. No matter the staffing situation, drinks get delivered quickly. There is a gentlemen that seems to constantly be there (perhaps the owner?) but he is laid back, awesome, and makes a tasty smoothie! Got me hooked on the Power Smoothies! Love the flavor, texture, and added "power"! Who couldn't use more power? Prices aren't horrendous either! Wish it wasn't a kiosk, but rather its own shop. Gets way too crowded around where a line should probably form and the people traffic mixed with the sound of blenders make for loudness of an annoying sort. I'd give it 4 stars for this, but again, I'm fond of the service provided by the staff. No 16-year old drama or lack of work ethic like I thought you'd see at a mall-staple like Surf City Squeeze. read more

I was shopping at the mall with my husband and toddler. I purchased 2 smoothies, spending almost $10 and asked for a small cup with a lid so I could give some to my son. The owner tried to charge me for the cup and was extremely rude and obnoxious. Absolutely the worst customer service I've encountered. Not kid friendly... not people friendly. read more

The best tasting smoothies I have ever had. I love how you actually see them put REAL fruit in the blender rather than cheapy powder. Makes me feel like im being somewhat healthy ;) read more

Super good smoothies, but the girls that work there are always so rude. I ordered a citrus blast smoothie in a regular size and she said she couldn't do that one in that size, I offered to pay for a large size, she finally seemed annoyed and just made it. Calm down its just a smoothie read more

Luv the Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate smoothie! It was delicious & they made it fast too!!

I love this place!! Any flavor I try is great. My favorites are the banana strawberry and orange coconut! They even give you options for boba, which I also love. read more

Coming here has turned to an everyday occurrence. Mall has been completely transformed and this place fits right in. Owners are great people as well. Always friendly. read more

The "healthy veggie" smoothies are not healthy. They just add kale and spinach. Same amount of fat and calories. If you're looking for something healthier and fresher, robeks is 20 yards away. They don't wash their hands and they use hand sanitizer every so often. read more

My 6-year-old son and I ordered 2 smoothies from there at exactly 8:21pm. The girl who helped us went by the name of Lissette. I don't understand what her problem was with everyone ordering. She had a disgusting attitude. We waited for our drinks and she placed our drinks on the counter very aggressively. I asked her co-worker for her name, which is how I know her name. I asked if they had a survey I can fill out or something and to write it down including her name. Lissette came over and told me I can google it. I then proceeded to tell her that I know but I want her to write it down. She then attempted to make a phone call and then hung up and printed the phone number and handed it to me. I then tell her to write down her name. Throughout this horrible experience she told her co-worker "ha, it's going to take a lot for anything to happen". I'm sure her assumption was that I would try to get her fired? I didn't say anything else to her. I know my limit, especially when my kids are around and parents try to teach them how to treat others. I'm sure she'll get herself fired with that nasty attitude. I'm hoping the manager takes into consideration the reviews and complaints of this girl Lissette because eventually he could be dealing with a lawsuit because of an uneducated person. I've dealt with other employees there, including the manager and it's always been pleasant. read more
