Best smoothie bar in the area!!! Staff is so nice and attentive, I got their peanut butter chocolate protein smoothie right before closing and it was to die for. Will return!

To whoever wrote the review about a past managerbeing talked bad about, I am not surprised at all that they would be talking about me like that. This company wrongfully terminated for me for nonsensical reasons after I told HR that the Area Manager Juan Cortez was scheduling himself with underage 16 yrs girls consistently. He even told me directly that he would even drive with them to work and I can confirm this as I saw him walk in once as I was leaving with a young girl from another store. I had wondered why corporate didn’t terminate him but then I realized it was money as it always is. Corporate didn’t want to find someone to replace him because he was getting paid lower than any area manager would ever accept and he was a CORPORATE employee. He even mentioned to me that corporate said the last person in his position that wanted a raise got terminated. Sounds like great job security. The worst part of my experience was that the employees harassed the managers ( I was told a previous manager was harassed as well) I even had a delivery driver come in once and ask me if I allowed employees to treat me this bad. At the time, I was in a money pinch and needed a job so I just bit the bullet, and let it go. Thinking back, I should have reported all this to the police, especially since after I was terminated, I received threatening text messages from an ex-employee named Bogdan, who would have only known about my termination if it was leaked to him most likely by the area manager Juan Cortez telling certain underage girls who in, turn told Bogdan. I say all this to say, do not monetize this business. This business should not be supported. There are terrible people running this company and this is probably the most honest review anyone will see about this place so please find another juice bar to support and do not help this company out.

Terrible customer service. I could hear two employees gossiping about a previous manager.

I was very disappointed in this visit and total experience. I ordered a açaí bowl and it was filled less than full and then to half way once the açaí settled in, the acai had no flavor at all which was very odd. The fruit wasn't that great and the granola was too hard and probably old. I had a couple bites and tossed it. Disappointed. I guess inflation is real when quality starts to lack. Also the bathroom was disgusting. Def shows lack of cleanliness in the place. Would not return

LOVE this place! So delicious and good for you too! Each order is made fresh...so if you are tight on time, you can schedule ahead on their app for a particular pick up time. Staff is super friendly...especially Parker Cimaglio. Nekter is a welcome addition to our community!

The Nekter place here is clean but from what you can see I order a bowl and as I'm sitting there eating my bowl a worker yells kill it and a girl yell I'm not touching no rat. I come home to learn that this place has a RAT AND MICE problem and has had this problem for more than over a year now. To make matters worse I hear them say " did it get into the granola or any other boxes" if so we have to throw it out the top half again " I mean WHAT?!? To make matters worse The Food was below standard and I got a fury strawberry in my bowl with mold on it. I mean what kinda service is this and when I went to talk to the stuff she laughed and said oh let me see what I can do. They put my bowl on the side and gave me a new one that has no flavor and that was water down. I see the staff messing around on TikTok and talking bad about other employees. What kinda place is this. I'm very disgusted that they have rats and mice and they are yelling welll people are eating and not only that I'm disgusted on how the staff treated me they where rude and the girl with red hair did nothing but roll her eyes and talk to a another staff "ugh I wish they would get out " this is beyond unprofessional. This place needs help and a restart bc I and my family will not be coming back to a place with rude staff and mice running around this place needs a manager and needs a rat exterminator. There was no music nothing to give the place a welcoming environment this place needs to fix it up and fix up there surroundings and need to invest in new equipment.

Am I really doing a review. I don’t do them. But the smoothies are next level. The other major chain use to be this good back in the day. But I’d gladly come back again and again to Nekter.

Sense of urgency very low, 20 minutes for 2 special drinks, nay be they were short handed

I came into nektar on a bike ride last week and it was a great experience. Not crowded, friendly staff and delicious juice. I think I ordered a recovery drink and I loved it, worth the money

Great smoothies, great staff!I can’t recall the name of the gentleman that helped me, although we share similar taste. Dragonfruit smoothie with added mango. That worker took care of me exceptionally well!Someone else left a comment that the staff deserves a raise- I concur.
