I was shocked at how much I liked the Lemonem. I will be going back specifically for that, they've got the recipe down, I finished it in ten mins max. I also tried the beets by Dre and that one was good too, but the lemonem was my favorite! I was only there to pickup, but the inside is spacious and they have some arcade games; I imagine it gets busier on weekends in PB but I had no line when I came in at 730am on a Wednesday! read more

The Mad Beet - LEMONEM and BEETS BY DRE - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Diego, California

The Mad Beet commits fully to its late 90s and early 2000s hip hop era, and honestly, it pulls it off. Retro vibes, free arcade games, and an atmosphere that feels more like a hangout than a restaurant, in a good way. Extra credit for actually letting you play the games instead of just using them as decor. I was not very hungry, so I went with the Arctik Monkey smoothie with peanut butter and chocolate. Straight up delicious and absolutely something I would order again without hesitation. My wife ordered the Feta y Verdes veggie wrap, and even she was surprised by how good it was, which says a lot because she knows her veggies. Fresh, flavorful, and genuinely satisfying. Veggie lovers, consider this your official heads up. The arcade lineup is solid too. Pac Man, Mortal Kombat II, The Simpsons, a classic Star Wars Atari cabinet, plus others. Waiting for food did not feel like waiting. It felt like killing time in the best possible way. One quick warning. The hip hop playlist is not radio edited. Totally fine for adults, but if you are bringing kids, just know you might be explaining some lyrics on the drive home. Overall, fun spot, good food, strong throwback energy. I would definitely come back. read more

I love the Beyoncai açaí bowl that is loaded with honey and peanut butter. This bowl is generous with the amount of strawberries and bananas. The service was ok and only had one persons working. She did a great job being the cashier while making the smoothies and açaí bowls all by herself. The atmosphere is fun with arcade games and plenty of seating. The music was on point playing old school rap and hip hop. Great please for an açaí bowl if you're in the Pacific Beach area. read more

I got the twopac shakur and that has açaí, pitaya, granola, honey, strawberry, blueberry, and banana. When I got my order, I was very confused. As you see in the photo, it comes in a tall container unmixed...so I wasn't sure how I was supposed to eat it since I got it to-go and was not going home....they also had the normal plastic spoons so not ones that are long to mix up all ingredients. Also some of the açaí and pitaya mix was still frozen aka was not blended enough together and that added to eating it very difficult. It was tasty otherwise. read more

I had never been to the Mad Beet before but I've driven by plenty of times. I'm very biased on where I get my açaí bowls and really didn't know what to expect. The Mad Beet is solid! Good energy when you walk in, everyone is really nice and the items have fun names. I ordered an açaí bowl and really enjoyed it, the Beyoncai bowl! Easily on of my top 3 favorite açaí bowls in town. They also have a bunch of free video arcade games to play while you wait. I'm excited to come back and try out more menu items! read more

Amazing bowls and smoothies at ouch, one heck of a price. I can't give specific numbers here or they'll block my review but it was just over a third of a hundy for two drinks. Dang. They were good though, frankly. They also have complimentary standup video consoles so the wait time seemed to hustle by. read more

I came in here yesterday morning I was the only person in at the time I ordered. Tell me why I ended up waiting 30 minutes for 1 fucking drink that was just SITTING in a blender. The new guy working there and the younge white girl working with him was extremely rude. Other people came in after me and ordered and got their drinks less than 5 minutes. At first I didn't say anything because I thought maybe they were trying to find ingredients and giving them benefit of the doubt but finally I said smth THEN OH BEHOLD THE DRINK WAS SITTING IN THE BLENDER AND THEY KNEW I WAS WAITING. I continually walked back in fourth making direct eye contact hoping they would catch on but they played stupid.. and even if you are new that does not excuse any reason for rudeness and customer neglect. And the drink wasn't even that good. Hope these people get fired especially the girl who didn't apologize for the wait or take accountability that they "forgot". Pretty sure they are both racist serving all the white people before me. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I stopped by here for a quick mid day lunch. I got the lemonem juice which was fantastic. Tastes very similar to the toxin flush from Nektar but with a kick of heat from the cayenne. I also got the avocado toast with shredded egg. This was pretty good. Made on top of sourdough bread which is always appreciated. Big portions. However, slightly too salty for me. Service was a little slow but they seemed to be doing the best they can. The inside is a little dingy and could benefit from a remodel. Theres game machines lining one of the walls which seems outta place. read more

Rae - I know you liked this place back in the day because of the names but the drinks here are not it for you. Every time I come here I feel in the back of my head- I'm not sure if I like it or not and after every time, I'm like - it's the same conclusion. It's just okay. I think the vibes are cute, chill, and very surfer-esque but I'm not a huge fan of the flavors and everything was just nothing fresh (imo) read more

We love The Mad Beet and make it a point to stop by every time we visit San Diego! Fresh acai bowls, friendly service, and great vibes -- what more can you ask for! My favorite bowl is the Twopac Shakur which is both acai and pitaya. read more

Best açaí bowl. They recently remodeled the store & they've kept the same music vibe & the best parts of their menu. If you're in PB especially with this hot/humid weather creeping in this is the best remedy ! read more

funky, silly little juice shop in PB - funny smoothie names but hey, it hits after a beach yoga flow.

Ordered strawberry banana smoothie after dental surgery. Best smoothie ever. I'll be going back to try other smoothies

Cute little spot. No frills, but cool atmosphere and fun music. The ladies working here are friendly and get the food out quickly. I've tried the wraps, smoothies, and acai bowls. I highly recommend the Beyoncai acai bowl. It's well priced ($12.57 for 24 oz is what I get), and there are 3 size options. read more

Was the only customers in there but waited 25 mins without getting my order then people come in behind us and receive there order right away. Turns out they werent even making ours had to get a refund and go somewhere else read more

love coming to my local Sprouts, especially if mama Tee is working that day. She is my favourite cashier. She loves her job and brightens my day every time I see her. Always kind, funny, helpful and knowledgeable. read more

I came in here for a beets by Dre's juice and it took 20 minutes to get my juice and several people who showed after me got their drinks before I did. I didn't expect to wait that long and it ruined my plans for the morning. When asked for a refund the rep told me she didn't have the capability to do that. I think that's ridiculous and very unprofessional. read more

This Is the absolute best açai place in San Diego! I always go with the Beyonacai bowl. I love the peanut butter here and the fruit is so overwhelming which is a good thing - I always get the large. I can never finish it but it's delicious. Great to share wonderful taste quality açai you can't beat it no matter what you get here. It's just amazing. Daniel the owner also plays volleyball not very well. Just kidding, but also does a lot of sponsorships for the community which is great love the vibe here always a great time. The video games are awesome to play. The service is wonderful very quick extremely delicious and it's the only place I think about getting an açai bowl in San Diego that says a lot Great job. Keep it up and will come and get it açai bowl all of the time this is the first choice and the only choice. read more

Slow service. Their juices are pretty good and priced accordingly but it took around 20 minutes to fulfilled our order. read more

I get these smoothies every time I go to San Diego! My advice, skip the food because it's pretty meh, but the smoothies are some of the best smoothies I've ever had. SO fresh and sweet! I always get the one with greens with chocolate and peanut butter protein powder, and my friends always get the acai bowls which are also delicious. The service is so chill here and it's nice to have a conversation with everyone inside. Also it's got a cool vibe to the interior with old arcade games everywhere, good music, and a hip feel. read more

The açaí here is solid! Tasted very creamy, thick, and fruity but not too sweet. Tons of açaí in the smallest bowl size. The fruits were fresh. The interior vibes are super fun and divey with lots of sass and personality. I loved the looooong menu with so many options. And the names were so fun! I ordered the Acaiwol Nation bowl ;) very simple and definitely hit the spot. If I were to offer one improvement it'd be to add more granola! I took off a star due to the slightly slow service. It was a cloudy Thursday afternoon between Christmas and NYE and there was no line when I entered, but I had to wait over 5 minutes to order. Once I ordered though, I got my bowl within just a few minutes. I would advise calling in your order so you don't have to wait there! read more

The mad beet is a delicious and eclectic Juicery in Pacific Beach right on Garnett Street. The place itself has a great atmosphere with very friendly workers. If you appreciate puns, you will definitely appreciate the menu at the Mad Beet. There's also a lot of games including arcade games that are fun to play while you wait just a few short minutes for your item. I wanted something refreshing and sharp so I ordered the public lemony juice and it was delicious. Just be ready to order a juice that will run you more than $10 which to me is a lot, but unfortunately it is not uncommon in this area to pay that much for juice. read more

The Mad Beet - Public Lemony Juice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Diego, California

It's still my favorite smoothie place in the area. I also prefer to support local, especially with so many national brands in the surrounding area. I understand the cost for EVERYTHING is increasing, but man it's really hard to pay $9 for a 24oz smoothie. They cut non-fat yogurt and I think some other ingredients from their menu - you can still add it for an extra charge of course. (The NFY was cut from my favorite smoothie.) The same smoothie I used to get for $6.75-7.45 is now $9.03 with less ingredients. To make it worse, the menu said it was $8.03 when I looked at my receipt later I saw the actual price. Intentional? I didn't want to think so, but seeing other reviews complain about deceptive pricing makes me think it is. I do like that it looks like they've simplified their pricing so all the smoothies are the same price. It makes it easier. But after tip it's over $10 - I just can't come here as much as I used to. Again, still one of the best smoothie shops in the area. Smoothies are made to order, they take a little extra time for the staff to prep. It's always worth the wait. I'm just disappointed it's not like it used to be. read more

I've been coming here for a bit, the employees are usually standoffish but I found a smoothie I enjoyed and liked the games so it was enough to keep me coming back. I tried a new smoothie this time and I didn't like it. I asked the employee if she could make me a different one or remake it without one of the ingredients and she firmly said no. She offered me to pay for another smoothie if I wanted a new one. I asked if I could get some kind of discount or something, or even a refund of my first and she said no. I work in customer service so I know how to make a moment right, and she put such a sour taste in my mouth, let alone the gross smoothie. The stand right behind the register also stabs you in the back as you try to lean in to yell your order over the screaming music. Probably won't be back !! read more

Closed for remodeling. Thanks for mentioning that on your voicemail or Yelp account. Drove all the way down there. Complete waste of time. Please have better customer service going forward read more

This is one of the few smoothie spots in PB that offers a 32oz smoothie for around $10. Some places either don't have that larger size or charge a lot for it. My favorite is the Shakera smoothie, which is made with açaí, strawberry, blueberry, and banana. It's always fresh and not overly sweet. I've been here a few times, and there's usually no long wait or line for your smoothie. The staff can sometimes be a bit aloof depending on when you go, but I'll definitely be back because I really enjoy their smoothies. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but wanted to note that this place isn't that great anymore. It's a fairly expensive bowl with limited toppings and too much açaí. I could make something better at home and there are much better bowls in San Diego. They're really nice here though. It would be nice if there was a water container available. Also no bathroom, they ask you to go to Dave's Hot Chicken. read more

This place has great acai bowls. The Acaiwolnation is my go to bowl. All I need in an acai bowl is strawberries, blueberries, granola, honey, and acai. It is the perfect refreshing snack when it is hot outside. read more

Fast service and very tasty acai bowls. I ordered the basic acai bowl, ACAIWOL NATION, with granola, honey, strawberry, blueberry, and banana. I felt a little silly placing my order at first being that all of the food and beverages at Mad Beet have names that play off famous musicians, but the bowl itself was very good. I really liked the texture and flavor of the granola they used. Inside, the atmosphere is fun with long tables and old school arcade games. I placed an order to go, but next time I might just stick around to play a game or two of Pac-Man! read more
