Came here to get my usual strawberry-banana-blueberry smoothie, which I order at least three times a week. I know exactly how it's supposed to taste, and I've always had a great experience when certain employees make it because they are friendly, attentive, and consistently provide excellent customer service. Unfortunately, none of my usual employees were working today. I ordered my smoothie, and it was not made correctly. I politely asked for it to be remade, but instead of actually correcting the issue, I was told that it had been fixed when it clearly had not been. To make matters worse, as I was walking away, the employees proceeded to laugh. I'm an adult, and I don't have the time or patience for childish or disrespectful behavior. If I'm spending my hard-earned money at your establishment and tell you that my order was made incorrectly, I expect the issue to be corrected without attitude, excuses, or disrespect. I spend a significant amount of money here every month, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Mistakes happen--that's understandable. What matters is how you handle them. I hope management addresses this because customers should not be made to feel disrespected for simply asking for their order to be made correctly. read more

Amazing sweet smoothies here! Concord is by far my favorite Surf City Squeeze location based on the quality and taste of the chocolate covered strawberry smoothie I got this past weekend, with low cal smoothie mix of course. Super fresh and tasty, generous with the chocolate sauce, the perfect blend of strawberry and chocolate flavors. Too bad I don't live nearby, I didn't know what I was missing at the other locations till I came here. Service was sufficient, I'm not even mad that there was a little bit of a line, based on how good they make their drinks, and the line went fast anyway with no shortage of workers on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Surf City Squeeze is literally my favorite smoothie place. Dare I say, I like it better than even Jamba Juice. Never had a bad experience or bad smoothie from here. Honestly, one of the last good food/drink spots in the mall, I hope they never close read more

I visited Surf City Squeeze at the Sunvalley Shopping Center in Concord, CA on Friday, 3/29/24, around 11 AM. I decided to customize my smoothie by including strawberries, pineapples, and peaches. I requested for the drink to be prepared thick in consistency. The smoothie was blended to perfection; it was truly refreshing and delicious. The customer service was quick and pleasant. The smoothie bar was easy to find inside the shopping center. I recommend coming here. read more

My son and I were thirsty after walking around the mall. We wanted a drink that is healthy and nothing like powder. We came across Surf City Squeeze serving real fruits. We got a large mango with boba and shared the drink. The drink was good. The boba was chewy, just perfect. We would come back to try another drink next time. read more

I honestly prefer their taste over Jamba! It's creamy and super tasty. I tried getting THE Kale Smoothie at other Surf City locations but they do NOT hit the same. I highly recommend getting the Kale Smoothie here! It gets super long for lines during the weekends per usual, but they're fairly quick for a smoothie place! I've waited longer at acai places. It's loud, but that's given per smoothie place and mall. Totally fits the on-the-go vibe! read more

Tried this place for the first time. It was delicious. I tried 4 different smoothies: Kale, Pineapple coconut, banana with boba, and a strawberry one. Each one was its own unique flavor. I can't believe this place is only in the mall. We need one on each corner. read more

Oh man oh man. Came here on Thursday on by break from work and I needed caffeine so I decided to get a large blended coffee milk tea with boba. I was excited to try it. The service came with a smile & good people; in which is unfortunately is the only reason they got an extra star. The boba was a little over $7, which seemed pretty pricey but I was willing to risk it for the caffeine, but it had little to none flavor. It was very watered down from start to finish. Yes, I still finished the drink... for the caffeine. But, as stated, not much flavor at all, not much from the coffee, none from the boba pearls. The boba pearls were chewy which is expected, but other boba shops I've been to would have a sweet honey flavor to them, which these didn't have; just flavorless chewy balls of calories. I was very disappointed because every time I'm at the mall, they seem to have quite a line. This also was not my first time here; I had been here several times in the past, when I was younger, & from what I remember, it was good! Maybe their other flavors are great, but as for this past experience, it unfortunately was not that good. read more

Service was fine. We got our order quickly. I got the strawberry banana smoothie and my friend got something mango pineapple. If you want something that satisfies your cold and sweet cravings then get this, but if you are craving anything fruity and tarty, then don't get this. Our smoothies tasted weirdly milky and they aren't very thick. The fruity flavors arent strong at all. I tasted neither the mango or pineapple in my friends drink and something about my drink tasted more like sweetener than fruit read more

I love the strawberry banana smoothy and have been drinking it for years. Good service and quick. Thanks.

My favorite smoothie place of all times. I have been going here since I was in middle school. Located in the Sun Valley Mall, right below the escalator on the JC Penny side. All the employees were wearing their masks and they implemented more plexiglass around the area to promote for more safety measures. My favorite go to drink is the Strawberry Banana smoothie. Sometimes I add Kale if I want to get more healthy with it, but this time I wanted to try their traditional flavor combo. The smoothie was ice cold and had the right amount of thickness to it. I do notice a difference from time to time, but they are more or less consistent with how it is made. Whenever Mrs. Kim is working, she always helps make my drink for me and she does it the absolute best. Overall, I will always go back here. My go to spot for a smoothie. read more

They said they have milk green tea boba, but it was more like a slushie and smoothie. I understand that's what they specialize in but I was hoping for you know the normal kind. I prefer their Oreo smoothie to their milk tea. If I really am in a need for something super sweet then that's what I aim for. I also make sure to ask for extra Oreos because I feel that without the extra Oreos the smoothie doesn't taste that good. I've had one of their "healthy" drinks before. I believe the ingredients were kale, spinach, and some fruit. It was pretty good although I'm not sure how much sugar was added. The service I've received here has been on and off. Some days I've been attended to right away on a slow day and fast day, and other times I've felt like I was ignored. If you like something sweet and cool than go here. I wouldn't for the milk tea. 3/5 read more

I love the orange banana coconut smoothie and I ordered a large size for the very first time. I was surprised that even though I'm already paying for a large, I was still charged extra for "extra fruit." I didn't notice this charge until later when I looked at my receipt. I would assume that paying for a larger sized drink would already include all the costs of the extra ingredients they would put in there, so this was weird. read more

Lately, I've been on this non-stop smoothie hype. Not sure if it's because it's so dayum HAWT over here in the East Bay, but I've found myself drinking smoothies multiple times per week. The culprit? Well, there are a few places that I go to get my fix. However, Surf City Squeeze has been happily feeding my current smoothie addiction as of late. FIRST of all... whoever created that Kale Smoothie needs to be hugged and slapped all at the same damn time. Hugs for that absolutely delicious concoction, and slaps for contributing to my addiction which in turn drains my poor little wallet. But hey... it's good so I'll pay up and slurp it up. Everything about these smoothies are the bidness! The quality, the consistency, the sweetness, the taste. They're just peeeerfect and I love 'em! I never have to wait in a super long line and the staff is always cordial. They make SAMPLES! And thank Gaaawd because I probably wouldn't have tried their kale smoothie so soon if it wasn't for me sampling it first. It's located on the second level of the Sunvalley Mall, so I wouldn't really call it "convenient" per say. But, it's a great way to cool down after walking around in the mall all day. But I'm gonna be honest... sometimes I drive all the way to this mall JUST for those smoothies. Yep, that's how hooked I am now. The prices are steep... but then again, what smoothie place do you know of that isn't? Even Jamba is gettin' up there in price. I think the difference is truly that the quality is top notch. I like my smoothies super sweet and fruity, and Surf City always comes through when it comes to that. Their size to price ratio is pretty fair as well. All in all, it's an excellent spot to grab a yummilicious smoothie, especially while hanging around in the mall. If you haven't tried their Kale smoothie yet, you need to get it and thank me later! read more

I wish I could leave a 0-star review. This review is not regarding the order itself (which by the way was horrible as well -- I got the triple berry and my friend got the bee stinger; ) This is about the fact that the owner (a lady with white hair) fired this young-looking employee and made him take off his T-shirt before he left. This poor kid had to walk through sun valley mall topless looking embarrassed. I find it incredible that the place did not even have the courtesy to let the employee leave with the T-shirt and maybe ask for it later. For juice or the way they treat their employees, do not go here. read more

Had the Thai milk tea here, only option was the slush kind. Drink was mediocre, didn't taste authentic, might be powder. Boba was soft though. Didn't enjoy it that much, most likely not going to get it again. They had samples put for the fruit smoothies, and those tasted delicious! It was a kale smoothie with a bunch of fruits. I would probably come back here for the fruit smoothies and not the bobas. read more

My husband loves to visit this place and got the power pump smoothie because it is filling. I have to admit that it took me the second time to really enjoy the power pump smoothie because the taste of it was fruity but not sweet enough, almost healthy tasting, which is not a bad thing. I felt full and more energetic after drinking the smoothie, which is a good thing. I would definitely try it again and recommend others to visit as well. read more

PERFECT!!! Whoever made my drink today did it perfect!!! Strawberry chiller, no sugar, two Splenda!!! T1D here and it barely raised my blood sugar. Sometimes they do screw it up and I can tell right off the bat. I just deal with it and sometimes even toss it after the first sip. read more

Oh my god!!!! I love this place!! We use to have this smoothie place in the mall by my house but they closed down so when I stumbled across this place when I was on my way back home from up north it was like a God send! Their smoothies are just skin damn good! I got the strawberry banana smoothie and it was just as I remembered it. Creamy and refreshing. You're thinking what? A creamy smoothie? How? So I'm guessing that they add in evaporated milk to give it that push of sweet and creamy. There were also samples of a kale smoothie and that was amazing too. I wanted to get a bunch and store it for when I get home but it would all just melt by the time I got home. My wife got the lemonade and she got 2 of those to save. She got it with no ice and they filled it all the way up!! read more

So inconsistent with drinks. Every drink tastes the same with the milkshake mix regardless of what fruit you ask for. Only 1 out of 10 drinks can you actually taste the fruits. That is when we constantly tell them to have less mix and a bit more fruit. I give up on asking them. They just stare back and say nothing but "ok" and nothing changes. Find another place this spot is disappointing. read more

If you are looking for a milkshake, buy something from here but if you want a smoothie go somewhere else. cant even taste the fruit, tastes like strawberry hospital ice cream in a cup. waste of $8 but at least the employees were nice enough read more

I love how they have a drink called Stripper Squeeze.

Normally I don't mind paying the $8.00 for their drink. Since I don't go here very often and it's a treat. I always order a Bee Stinger. Which coms with blueberries, bananas, their special sauce, B pollen and protein powder. I simply ordered it like I always do as of lately. Which is to ask for less less blueberries and to add some strawberries. Now I can understand if it cost them more for the strawberries that they added an extra charge. Yet, it doesn't and it's not like they're giving me more for my money there simply charging me for equaling out the ratio of what's in the drink. Which they've never done before! I just think it was the cashier who didn't know what he was talking about. Normally I would've spoken with someone else but it wasn't worth arguing over $.55! Yet, I felt like this was pretty shady! So, I felt I should update my review. read more

I was in Sun Valley Mall recently and was really wanting a smoothie. So I got a large orange-mango one. The cashier asked me if they wanted me to add strawberry to it, but I politely declined. Though this is a busy mall, my order too forever to come out. And make sure you keep your receipt, b/c the drinks didn't necessarily come out in the order they were originally ordered. When I did get my drink, it was large. But that's about it. There wasn't a lot of flavor to the drink, and it was more icy than anything else. Next time, I'll get an Orange Julius. read more

After my encounter today with an off duty employee, I will not be returning. I had an issue with my drink being lost and 5 other drinks being made and passed out that were ordered after mine. I spoke to a person on shift about the issue, refused to give me a refund as I no longer wanted the drink, fine, got the drink made again but as I'm turning to my husband complaining this off duty employee barges me and starts yelling at me that this is everyone's first day, drink tickets get lost, and a whole lot of excuses. I've worked in the industry, regardless of what happens you don't scream at customers especially when you're not even working a shift. She continued to berate me and her body langue was aggressive, she moved in closer to me as if she was about to swing at me, making my husband jump in front of her while holding our toddler. When I asked for her name and a manager she immediately shut up, retreated like a dog with her tail tucked and refused to speak anymore. Huh, where'd that bold energy go?!? As we were leaving she continued to talk crap and yell, so I asked her to come here so I could ask why she felt the need to act this way. She then informed me she was 17, as if I was going to get physical with her. Last I checked, she was the one who was about to. I don't use my hands for violence especially with my child around. I highly suggest taking your business elsewhere until management figures out who to hire employees with better customer service. On duty or not, you're still a representation of the company and that was the only thing I needed to see to know my money is spent better elsewhere. Unfortunate as I've been coming here since the early 2000s but refuse to let crappy employees berate customers. I hope that yelling at me was worth the possibility of losing your job. read more

Whenever I come to the Sunvalley mall, it's a must that I take a pit stop to Sun Squeeze! It should be right In the middle of the mall in my opinion, but it's going to be in a GREAT location once the new food court opens up! Must try read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years. A lot has changed with the quality of their drinks and more lately which I'm sure is due to inflation. They should call their drinks icees/slurpees instead of smoothies because majority (80%) of the ingredient is ice. If you watch them make it they put very little fruit and soy milk and fill the cup with ice. My last drink had chunks of ice in it. To me it's a waste of money because you are paying $8-$12 for a cup of ice!! read more

Horrible experience. Went to purchase a smoothie that they were giving samples of, and when I ordered my drink, the manager over charged me for each fruit seperately without telling me that it was extra charges for that drink. After paying and realizing the over chsrges, I asked the manager why I was overcharged amd he pretty much said oh well, if I didnt like it to give him back the drinks and to pick something else or else too bad. Very rude and unprofessional. I highly suggest you dont go to this place. Very rude and unprofessional and they will charge you double the price without your consent. read more

I love when I go to Sun Valley Mall. I always love to stop at the surf city squeeze. I always built my own smoothie. My fav is mixing blueberry, strawberry, banana and coconut is so good! =) read more

PROS: - bomb ass smoothies - they may not be healthy but sure seem like it - they are cheap for how much you get CONS: - usually long lines - customer service isn't so great & so slow - people will sometimes take forever to order So when I am in this mall do I usual go? Yes. Do I mind the crappy/slow service? Yes. Am I happy when I finally get my smoothie? Yes. Do I recommend this place to people? Yes. Just keep in mind the cons and if they don't bother you then you will leave a happy customer! :D read more

Definitely not my number one stop for a drink (even if I was extremely dehydrated!) I could go on about the cons of this location. From it's horrible service to it's HOT tapioca (boba) or it's odd and old tasting drinks. All in all, not worth it. Ever! read more

This place has been here since I can remember... I've always enjoyed their raspberry banana smoothie and NOW they have boba! Yum. It's great when it's hot and you want something more than water. I haven't had any bad service or anything. There's really not much more to the place except drinks lol. Its not very cheap though, it adds up quick. read more

I love the smoothies there flavorful and delicious... But with only two people in line it took the three girls behind the counter 10 minutes to help the person in front of me they were too busy chatting with each other to even help the customers. Finally after 10 minutes I am now being helped and I found the prices compared to the size absolutely ridiculous! I paid 8.50 for mango pineapple smoothie I thought that was a very high price for a small drink I didn't add anything to it... My mistake was handing her the card to pay for the drink without even looking at my total because on the board it's stated a different price. With my receipt in hand I did question why did I just pay 850 she explained with taxes plus the drink I ordered has a protein powder and it makes the price go up. I was highly confused because I did not order any kind of extra in the drink plus I thought it was supposed to be 4.75 Plus tax but does not equal 8.50... Was not in the mood to argue with a 16-year-old kid but even at $4.75 the size of the cup I received was a little shocking to me... Possibly they ran out of their normal cups... But I have never received a cup this small. read more

It's no Jamba Juice. You feel you're taking in more sugar and more artificial stuff than you should. But it does taste a little better. The blueberry-based ginseng fling is not only refreshing, but should also give you more vitality. Or so they say. At least, that's what ginseng is supposed to give you. Assuming it does have real ginseng. Anyway, it's the closest juice shop to the gym that has a protein shake. Btw, they give 10% discount to 24-hr fitness club members. read more

The smoothie I had was good BUT the way I was TREATED was unacceptable. While I was waiting for my order right in front of the counter, and being the only Black Male waiting for an order, I was the only person asked to provide proof of my order (receipt). I spoke with the manager to discuss what had happened. They did not take me seriously. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS AGAIN. read more

I really love this place because they make the best peach mango smoothie ever! I tried the one from Jamba Juice and it's garbage. Anyways I would give this place 5 stars BUT! I wouldn't because i don't think that a small peach mango smoothie with tapioca should cost almost up to $6 TOO OVERPRICED. I believe that a drink like that should not cost that much unless there's alcohol in it haha. read more

I love the pineapple with some kind of coconut on it Gave the kids the usual strawberry banana and the next time we came back tried the chocolate banana too But so far one of my 6 yo also takes my "island inspired" pineapple coconut drink While waiting for my drink I saw They had jars of echinacea and ginkgo and other ground herbal powders Will try that next time It's a great pick me up while we continue to walk around the mall and it's also close to the arcade It's actually next to it and we can keep moving around with drink on hand Fresher flavors than the tired same old same old Jamba Juice read more

I don't mind this place. They sell boba (pearl tea)! My fave flaves of Boba: Honeydew, Green Tea and da da da DA ...TARO!!!! If you're filipino like me and love ube... have taro. yummmmyyyy... Plus their smoothies aren't that bad either... like the strawberry banana. Oh and their strawberry lemonades... pretty refreshing on a warm summer day. Price is decent. Service. is well just that.. don't expect anything more than a "hello... what would you like today?" And from the last I remember they only take cash or ATM cards which they charge like 75 cents to use it. read more

Really long line but that didn't intimidate them or me, it was less than 10 minutes I got my drink despite my card hip not working and he had to manually input my info. They have boba now? Wow, didn't know... I got the Mango & Strawberry pearl, I think it was rudely $6, kind of pricey if I say so myself but it was delicious I'll definitely recommend this drink to all. read more
