Tucked away in a modest corner of the neighborhood, this juice bar is a quiet gem. It’s not trying to be flashy—no neon signs or over-the-top decor—just a clean, comfortable space where the focus is clearly on what matters: quality. From the moment you step in, you can see and taste the freshness of the ingredients.
I ordered their Peanut Butter and Jelly smoothie, and it was a revelation. Creamy, perfectly balanced between the nutty richness of the peanut butter and the natural sweetness of ripe berries, it felt indulgent yet undeniably wholesome. Packed with protein, it gave me the perfect boost to power through my day without the heaviness of a full meal.
Service was warm and unpretentious, matching the overall vibe of the place. This is the kind of spot where you can recharge—both your body and your mood—knowing every sip is made with care. I’ll definitely be back, smoothie cravings in tow.

Ordered this off Uber Eats and the açaí I got was epic. It was the best one I’ve ever had and the portions were generous!

I went in here for the first time yesterday to get a smoothie after my workout. The smoothie and juice were fine although the juices were ridiculously overpriced.
What really soured the experience was the fact that there were three people working and not a single person said a word to me for like 10 minutes of me being in there and I was the only customer. I was looking at the menu near the register, thinking they were busy doing something and after a while I realized they were just waiting for me to start the interaction. I almost just walked out. I work in food service and care about giving guests a good experience, so this was extremely off putting for me. What happened to greeting people when they come in to your place of business?

Excellent smoothie. Hard to pay $11 but much better than jamba juice probably worth it

I love ordering the pink flamingo smoothie from Nekter, my order is always ready when it’s supposed to be, the same way, every single time. The workers are very welcoming & helpful. Great place to check out if you’re into smoothies/protein drinks/acai bowls! Hoping to get more locations opened here in Tucson!

Relaxing lounge style smoothie bar, they will customize smoothies with Greek yogurt and anything else unlike some Acai places. I got a delicious strawberry blueberry banana Greek yogurt orange juice whey protein smoothie. Very nice student staff. Tip them!

Had some smoothies delivered from this perfect little spot. While the prices are steep, the ingredients and taste are out of this world. Health never tasted so good. Indulge yourself at this central Tucson locale. You won’t be disappointed.

I always get the best service from the folks at Nekter, they're friendly and good at what they do. The building is always very clean. I usually get BYOBs with a focus on protein components and they're delicious and wholesome. Love this place.

First time coming to Nekter. Their Dragon Fruit Bowl is delicious and very fulfilling. I got full halfway through the bowel. I gave the service 4 stars only because I requested no granola & they still put it, I ain't mad though, it was still very delicious. I look forward to returning to Nekter.

Glad I found this place right down the road from work. ALWAYS a brief stop in for breakfast or lunch! Read reviews how it takes too long but that's SO unrealistic & ridiculous...this place is a made to order juice bar made of real ingredients, it's not FAST FOOD made of pre-made who knows what!?! I'm allergic to bananas but they always find a great, delicious substitute or add in. Always like trying something new and they nail it Every Time. Those shots are awesome too...those little vials are miracle workers!
Stopped at Nekter Juice Bar for a simple Greenie. I have been here a few times and each time I get a “different” Greenie. Today was final time I will come here - it tasted like celery juice, which is not what it is supposed to taste like. Paying $9 for a small Greenie that isn’t even organic, never again. As for the customer service - was not greeted, smiled at, looked at, or bid good bye. No wonder the drink tasted the worst ever.

My family really liked it but I was not a fan of nuts. Most of the items come with either coconut or almond milk.
