smoothie is absolutely dank, n dang refreshing! Usually for $11 it's smaller but head over to Blendees it's taller! The nice lady running it was super sweet like the smoothie and she made it with love, you can taste and appreciate.

Açaí split w/ blue berries, strawberries, granola and almond butter

Andrew G.

The place was cool. It has a really nice fruit mural. The açaí was good and a pretty good value at $8. It'll definitely be my snack/treat spot in the area.

Madison W.

Obsessed. Blendees has THE BEST açaí splits- I get mine with extra honey and granola (you can customize). My fiancé loves their smoothies, too! Whenever we have visitors Blendees is always a must! Ms. Monique and the young ladies at Blendees are all so welcoming and kind. If you haven't been here yet, run, don't walk!

Great service, they're so kind! Love the blueberry matcha btw. the place is so cute!!

To keep it short and sweet, I would highly recommend coming here for smoothies! The person working was so sweet and totally made my day so much better! Thank you for providing wonderful service and delicious smoothies!!

Delicious smoothies!!! I'm always greeted with a warm smile and attentive care. A refreshing pick me up on a hot San Diego day. The açaí bowl/split is another fave of mine. Only one downside and it's that it closes at 5.

This juice is spot is located in El Cajon in the same plaza as Popeyes chicken and $10 store. Great healthy breakfast or snack for me. The açaí build a bowl was deliciously I added mango, strawberry, granola plus almond butter only $7. The açaí was delicious so smooth and creamy. Excellent assortment of menu items teas, smoothies and açaí bowls. Great portion sizes. Reasonable price. Excellent customer service, the owner is awesome! Overall positive experience. Will positively return in the near future

The owner was so sweet! Loved her, she recommended a really good smoothie! Will be coming back 10/10.

Delicious! and awesome customer service. I stopped by for acai while out and about running errands. First of all the price is quite reasonable, and the flavors equally as good. It only took a few moments for them to whip up a tasty creation just for me full of my favorites - strawberries, coconut, almonds, strawberries, mango, honey, granola, and banana atop a healthy serving of acai. I took my time to savor it in their small shaded lounge area. Happy to support this small business and will surely return.

I have wanted to try this place for years but was never around when they were open but I finally got to try it today and we left incredibly happy. I believe Monique owns the place but she was there with the best attitude. She was so welcoming and kind that I knew we would return even if the flavors were mediocre. Thankfully, our smoothies were delicious. I ordered a large Royal for $11 and my daughter got a medium Majestic for $8. Sounds kind of pricey but considering the superb customer service (which is hard to find these days!) and fresh ingredient smoothies, it was well worth it. The large was also HUGE with perfect consistency. I would much rather support Monique than a corporation. We will definitely go back. Hoping to make it a weekly stop for us! read more

If You're Reading This Its Too Late. You already want something other than Jamba Juice. Why not try something different and also support a local family owned business! I am glad I tried them. I could see that this wasn't just a job for them, it was a passion. I had the Acai Split, which was huge and more than I expected for only $7. I also had the Incredible Hulk smoothie which was also delicious. The real kicker I saw was that you could make any smoothie you wanted for the same starting price, and only 50 cents for additional ingredients. Awesome for those know exactly what they need while on the road. read more

Was around the neighborhood and was craving an acai bowl, but specifically one where I could add blackberries (it's my new favorite!) and was surprised to come across this little building that I've been driving past daily! I'm so sad I haven't found it sooner. The owner (or worker?) was the SWEETEST person ever! She walked me through their menu, gave me a punch card and made my bowl promptly. It was fresh, and absolutely delicious! I can't wait to go back and try some more menu items! read more

It wasn't. A fully body massage is needed for my whole crew, after the wait, 2.50$ for each topping and no foot rub is ludicrous. Peanut butter flavor is superbly creamy. Parking is mediocre. What's said is said.

I tried the Baklava Cheesecake, and wow--it was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. The combination of creamy cheesecake and the rich, sweet flavors of baklava was incredible. My taste buds were in heaven! I also picked up some mini baklava pieces, and they were just as delicious--fresh, flaky, and packed with flavor. To top it all off, I ordered a caramel latte, and it was amazing. The coffee was smooth, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the desserts. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You definitely won't be disappointed.

I have been coming to "Blendee's" a few weeks now...when I say service was great, I mean that! The smoothies and açaí bowls are the best I've ever tasted during my 9 years of living in San Diego. I feel refreshed. Healthier and I feel valued as a customer. The açaí bowl was rich and the fruit that accompanied was fresh. I am a regular now and would recommend them to anyone looking for healthy alternatives, good service, and good prices! I love it! Please try the water blends. read more

The owner, Monique, was so courteous and polite. Her smoothies are so sweet and delicious. Her smoothies did not taste watery nor did they come with chunks of ice in it. I recommend everyone to go give them a try. I promise you will love them. Her prices are super low for such a mouthwatering, appetizing, tasty, flavorsome smoothie. Blendees, in El Cajon, off second street (same parking lot as Popeyes) has my vote. Sincerely, Elunda Hodges read more

This is the best place for a smoothie. She does customized drinks and you can tell each drink is made with love. On a hot day Blendees is the best, my favorite is the Acai Smoothie. I started with a regular size because I couldn't finish it, now Large is the only way to go. Monique, I am headed your way really soon, Thank you for the great customer service and the wonderful smile. read more

But if you're in the mood to pick up a smoothie and around the area worth trying out.

I love the vibe there…read moreis it's always so lively and fun and I always end up staying longer than anticipated because I just enjoy the staff. I can never decide which I like more...their energy drinks or their protein shakes, so I usually get one of each. I have become friends with each of the girls that work there because they are all so friendly and outgoing and make you feel like family. They try their hardest to remember everyone's name, but even if they forget, they will always remember your order! I love that they're open to trying new flavors and so many of the items on their menu are created by their clients. This is an awesome option if you're watching your health or, like me, counting your macros. The owner is also a fitness trainer so she has the health and wellness of her clients in mind in everything she does... Every single option there is healthy but also extremely delicious. I stopped here several times a week and it is a perfect post workout recovery or midday pick up! The drinks are constantly changing and they're adding new options all the time so I never get bored and sometimes I just make things up and they go with it. I have been coming here now for years and can't believe that this is the first time I've reviewed them on yelp but they definitely deserve the recognition... such an awesome place!

The vibe of the place was super upbeat and super friendly, and if you get claustrophobic like me, this is your place to go as it is not very busy and is very quiet.
