The Strawberry Banana smoothie is a staple at Surf City Squeeze for a reason. It's creamy, fruity and smooth. The service was also pretty quick. I received my drink in less than 5 minutes and the ambiance was pleasant and quiet since the Walmart is not there anymore. 5 stars! read more

Surf City Squeeze - Strawberry Banana - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

Let me start off by saying I've been going to this place since I was young; I love their smoothies. But I cannot tell you how many times I've gone and asked for boba (was not refused, and or I was charged for the boba) and ended up not receiving any boba in the end. I love yall but fix the boba game. read more

Surf City Squeeze - Dirty banana smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

Tried Surf City Squeeze and was pretty impressed! The Strawberry Banana smoothie was creamy and refreshing, and the Popeye smoothie was unexpectedly tasty--fruity with a good balance of greens. The service was friendly, though a bit slower than expected. Prices are a little high, but still worth it. I'll definitely return! read more

Hi, I'd like to talk about my experience with the staff at this location. Me and my fiancé wanted to order a simple smoothie when we walked near the store, there appears to be no customers and no workers and at this time, the mall was not closed and it was nowhere near being closed, so I walked up to the counter and heard two females laughing on the ground both workers were hiding under and behind the counter until I looked over and asked if they were open they laughed and then took out order the drink was good but just poor customer service !! This happened on 6/19/26 @7:20pm read more

Surf city squeeze great place to get a smoothie. We've been going there for a few years. They're plenty of smoothies to try my favorite strawberry banana. My sons is strawberry, banana, blueberry, and so far so you can add protein you can add different powders to your smoothie. However, recently, I traveled to the mall in El Cajon and noticed that the Walmart had closed down. With that being said, obviously foot traffic is going to be gone. Who knows what kind of business will come after that will replace the amount of people going to surf city. it would be a shame to lose a business like this one. Definitely try and make your way into the mall just at least for the smoothies so we can continue having them I'm going around. It would be a shame to lose them. read more

Smoothies are bland. Came in a few days ago and encountered rude employees, more specifically Dunya.

Smoothies are usually good, too much talking in between could be better. Used to come all the time not anymore. Bad customer service and that's apart of service! read more

I can not tell you how good these smoothies are I have loved them since walmart was open here. The service is amazing and the workers do a good job. read more

super unprofessional and rude, this was my favorite smoothie place for years and that quickly changed with one visit. I ordered a new drink just because I always get the same one, and realized quickly I want the other drink (I didn't even finish it so it's not like I was trying to get a free drink), I said politely that I changed my mind and asked for a different drink and Dunya made me explain myself, took it personally, looked behind to her friend that had nothing to do with this situation as if I said anything rude, and said "the drink is good but ok". Immediately an unpleasant experience, PLEASE stop letting people like this be managers! in the same mall at a different drink place i had the same request and an employee just did it, no back and forth, if you're spending ur money on something and you simply don't like it request something else, you're not wasting 1000 ingredients and certainly not degrading the person making ur drink or the drink itself. read more

first time coming here, i heard lots of good things but the person taking my order was rude and not patient, the smoothie i got was also pretty bland. its probably just this spot so im not coming here again. read more

I really like the smoothies and the service has always been good. The smoothies are expensive but as long as it's good I don't complain.

Amazing place! The drinks are delicious it's so good of all amazing drinks are they all wonderful people

The storefront is fun and exciting, and it's been at this mall since I can remember which is less than I can say for all the other food/drink stores at that entrance to the mall. To be fair I don't buy this a lot. I usually grab a sample and keep walking. But the samples slap. It's a great product that has a delicious well rounded flavor I can't replicate at home. read more

The staff is a bunch of bratty teenaged girls who don't want to work a second past closing. I came in at 5:50 on a Sunday (they close at 6) there is 1 person waiting for a drink and one of the girls told me "sorry we're closed" i said "you close at 6" she pretended to check the time then said "well we have to take out the trash and stuff" I've been a barista myself and we took orders up until the second we closed and we can still take the trash out in 2 minutes or less. It doesn't take 10 minutes to take out the trash. The world won't end if these brats stay 2 seconds over time and make 1 more drink. I drove all the way from Alpine to get my drink on time, there were 4 girls on the floor, you're telling me someone can't make 1 drink 10 minutes before closing because you have to "take out the trash and stuff?" Fucking brats will never make it in the real world, good luck ever promoting from making smoothies. read more

Drinks were good but when I was trying to order she kept looking away and cussing in front of my daughter she even refused to make me a drink no respect at all read more

I love this place! I try to come at least twice a month and I have been coming here for years. The guys and girls that run it are amazing at what they do and super friendly! As alway, delicious menu! My go to is strawberry banana, and no place can beat what these guys have to offer! Well done Job! read more

The smoothies are cold, sweet and great. I really like this place. They are quick with your order as well.

Located inside the Parkway Plaza Mall right across from Walmart, this little place is serving up some delicious smoothies. I was in the Holiday spirit so I ordered the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. It was a good smoothie and definitely tasted of pumpkin and spice. I don't think actual fresh or canned pumpkin is used in the making of this smoothie, but it still tasted good. It was well blended and offered a smooth a creamy texture with a bit of a brain freeze as well. They added a garnish of a Christmas spice blend right on top of the whipped cream which was a nice touch. All the young ladies working at the Squeeze were all in high spirits and friendly. They certainly made my visit that much better. read more

Left with no other viable lunch option for lunch in the Cajon Zone Plaza, I saw Surf City on the mall's directory. I've never been to a Surf City Squeeze before so I went for it. It was pretty crowded which gave me the opportunity to review their large beverage lineup. They also had a whiteboard with vegetable (Kale) forward smoothies. I chose the Tropikale ( Strawberries, Mango, Orange, Pineapple, Carrot, and Kale). This was really good and satisfying. As the guy was making my smoothie I noticed he was pretty generous with the kale pieces. I will say this, this drink kept me going all day long...Looked brown, tasted good... read more

Surf City Squeeze - Large enough to trigger airbag warning. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - El Cajon, California

When we first arrived, the line was quite long as it was early and this smoothie shop was one of the few that were actually open. We were surprised that the line moved quickly and we didn't even have enough time to figure what we wanted before we were at the front. The customer service was exceptional, the woman who took out order was very helpful and gave sugestions. She even offered to customize it to our liking, we waited less than five minutes and our order was ready. The smoothie is a bit thick at first, so we had trouble with the straw. Flavor wise, everything was excellent. read more

You can't go wrong with Surf City Squeeze. Smoothies you create just the way you want. I love going there. Everything tastes so good!

I always have to stop by here for a smoothie whenever I'm at this mall. I typically like my smoothies a lot thicker, but the consistency of their smoothies work! My go-tos are: Power Pump Peach Mango Strawberry Banana Mango Banana The smoothies are super smooth and creamy. They might be a bit sweet for some people but I prefer my smoothies sweet so I love it! The service is always good and they're always quick to have the drink out even when they have a line. read more

Anytime I stop by the mall I usually come by here. The smoothies are really good, some are a little too sweet though. I don't know what they add but sometimes it tastes like it's just sugar. Like Starbucks or anywhere else you go some of the people are better than others at making stuff. The strawberry banana smoothie is delicious. The blueberry banana hardly tastes of blueberry, probably because bananas are cheaper. Customer service here is always spot on. I am glad that it is a constant here in a world that seems to forget that the way you treat a customer encourages whether they come back or not. Either way. I definitely recommend to check it out if you are around. read more

The owner and employees of Surf City Squeeze are not only super friendly they remember their regular customers. I love walking up to order a smoothie and to be treated like a friend. They are always up for friendly conversation (when they aren't too busy). My absolutely favorite smoothie is the popeye but I have yet to try one I didn't like. I hate to recommend them, I don't want to wait in longer lines, but they are just too good not to recommend. read more

These concoctions are the best! How can you taste one and not say DANG! afterward?!?! The Popeye sample was awesome and the Tropical Mix was great! Keep up the great ideas! read more

environment is not supportive and workers give off a super hostile vibe. not okay. everyone seemed stoned off their ass.

Very judgmental people working. Laughing about our orders and giving very dirty looks. The Mexican girl with fake eyelashes was super high and just glaring. Very hostile environment. read more

You know I like coming here to get smoothies been coming Here for years the owner is really nice but those girls you have working for you are really rude and snooty and stuck up and all they do is talk about you when you walk away the think look so cute because they have their tight leggings on a short shorts how unprofessional. Texting on their phone while working. read more

Been a fan of Pineapple Peach for years, but love the new fruit & veggie blends, especially the Popeye: spinach, kale, shredded carrots, bananas, orange, pineapple. I like to sub peach for oranges, so it's cool that they are accommodating. Although they won't go easy on the ice because they have strict proportion guidelines when preparing smoothies. The creamy non-dairy base is addictive. Just wish they'd give a little more information about the ingredients. They will only tell me that it contains soy & is sweetened. Also, they claim to use half the regular amount for the veggie blend smoothies. I feel like a lot of their smoothies taste the same. Which is fine, I suppose, since I haven't been able to recreate them. Just wondering how potent that blending base is. Overpowers a lot of flavors and can be a little heavy. Very tasty and refreshing overall. Plus, I like to think I'm doing my body a little good by adding the veggies. As the wise Popeye might say, "I'm strong to the finish 'cause I *drinks* me spinach." read more

They hands down make the best smoothies I've ever had . We can't go to mall without my daughter buying a smoothie from here .

Stopped by here after a hike because of the great reviews. I liked my tropikale very much; the texture was on point and I'm a big smoothie snob. The only downside is it's pretty pricey which is why I give them 4 stars. Random fact: the girls making the smoothies don't out the tops on blenders. I don't know how the smoothies stay inside the blenders!!! read more

Got a small smoothie + $1.25 for whey and asked for the rest in another cup. They said they couldn't do it because I got a small but if I payed extra for the whey I would expect to get the full serving of whey because it expands the smoothie. You're better off going to Jamba and getting full serving size of whey. read more

I do LOVE my Jamba Juice but this place takes the cake! I drive to this mall all the way from my coastal community simply for the smoothies...Yes I know there is a Surf City Squeeze in the Plaza Bonita shopping mall but it doesn't even compare flavor wise or customer service wise...I wish the Mission Valley location had never closed down...This place is just as good...Just a little more out of the way...But totally worth the drive! The staff is awesome and super efficient....I always go for the Stripper Squeeze or the Queens Delight...Then do some major shopping in the mall to work off those calories...It is all about balance right?! The employees are so awesome...They were out of one of the ingredients for my Queens Delight one day and they literally sent an employee to the store to pick up the necessary ingredient...Now that is some outstanding customer service! read more
