I tried Blender in the Grass for the first time and actually really liked it! It was close to my hotel, so I stopped by in the morning after taking my dog for a walk. I was just looking for something not too sweet but still delicious and healthy, lol. The girl working there suggested I try her favorite drink, the Strawberry Colada. It tasted a little bland on the first sip, but after a few sips, I really started to like it. It was flavorful without being overly sweet or sugary which I loved. I enjoyed it so much that I actually came back in the evening to try another flavor lol. And yep, it was still really good! I'll definitely stop by again if I'm ever in Santa Barbara. Oh, and I have to mention that both the morning and evening staff were super friendly. They genuinely looked happy to be working there which made the experience even better. read more

Blenders is a stable when traveling the central coast. Appreciate the non-dairy alternatives are more accessible now. Adore the pb smoothie but can't go wrong with pina colada or tropical mango! read more

Love blenders! Their blue banana and red orange are so good and refreshing! Love that they have different cup size options! My stop anytime I'm nearby. read more

Amazing we love coming here for a mid day snack. Such a great location and great smoothies! Highly recommend read more

A friend recommended trying Blenders at least once since I was visiting the area! Luckily this location was fairly empty when I came in! I shared the Original 24 oz, which was fresh orange juice, strawberries, banana, non-fat frozen yogurt. This was so refreshing and great to start out the day! The smoothie is very smooth and not icy at all. It definitely reminds me of Jamba Juice, but better since they include a complimentary supplement! read more

We've been going to Blenders for years. Probably my whole life! There just aren't any other smoothie places that beat it. The taste is the BEST. I either get The Peanut Butter and add chocolate, or I get the Red Pineapple if I want something fruity. Sometimes i get dragon fruit or Pitaya. You can't go wrong with Blenders! But, just warning you, you can never go back to Jamba Juice again after trying it, haha! read more

When I arrived there were two ahead of me waiting while the girl at the register was taking a big order over the phone , so the other worker when ahead and started making orders. By the time she was done the store was filled up, so not only was there a small crowd but also the big order to fulfill . She didn't panic and the other worker was knocking out the drinks . Kudos to those two . That was today 10/4/25 in the morning, give them a raise read more

Never had a smoothie taste so amazing! Maybe it's because they use yogurt? Love that they offer a free supplement to add in as well! Loved their pineapple kale! read more

Healthy smoothies with quality ingredients. Our favorite is has healthy greens like spinach and kale and we get extra spinach. We add whey protein and extra ginger. I've tried many smoothie places and they're mostly too sugary. I am so happy to have found this place! read more

Amazing service! Cute establishment! My friend recommended trying this place since we were in the area and we haven't been! What a great deal and the smoothies were delicious! read more

Blenders In the Grass - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Goleta, California

One of the better blenders locations. They seem to have fresher ingredients and staff that actually cares about following the recipe for every drink. I highly recommend getting the peanut butter with carob and bee pollen or the raspberry and swap out the raspberry juice for guava juice. read more

As a Los Angeles born, I grew up with Blender's competitor, Jamba Juice. When I first tried Blenders, I was hooked. It's 10x better than Jamba! I got the Red Mango, and my family gotten Tropical Mango, and Tropical Guava. I tried them all and they are all delicious! I'm sure any and all of the Tropical flavors are great. Particularly, the Red Mango has strawberries and mango. But I tasted more of the Orange sherbet, with hints of strawberry and mango. Nevertheless, it's so good. The consistency is very creamy and cold at the same time. If I had to compare it to Jamba, Blenders smoothies are so smooth and perfect. At Jamba, my drinks are always Ice-y, sweet but always sour, while at Blenders it's purely great natural ingredients with yogurt and sherbet. The supplement you get with your smoothie is such a great concept. Getting more in the drink is something no one can resist. Plus every smoothie gets 1 for free so you can feel healthy while drinking the smoothie. Parking is plentiful since it in a large plaza. TL:DR Great smoothies. inexpensive for a smoothies place. Plenty of parking. Try the Red Mango. Highly recommend and will come back. read more

Calle real branch smoothies are hit and miss. Smoothies are sometimes taste overwhelmingly of banana. Sometimes they are chunky. Fished out 6 ice chunks like in the picture. Picture from smoothie bought 11/5/23 around 10:30. For privacy reasons and protection against retaliation will not provide exact time.

Love their smoothies! I like building my own blender, and the workers are always accommodating to every request for my smoothie. Their smoothies tend to be on the sweeter side, and I think it is because they are very generous with the amount of sherbet ice cream. Super refreshing smoothies and super nice staff! read more

This smoothie place is my absolute favorite for a quick, easy, healthy, and tasty breakfast in the mornings. Especially during the summertime, it just makes me love Santa Barbara. I'd usually go for the Blue Banana if I was feeling healthy, if I was there for more of a therapy session, then I'd go with the Peanut Butter with chocolate. The prices are also super reasonable for what you're getting. I highly recommend this local chain, it's a Santa Barbara staple. read more

I usually just come here for the açaí bowls they're very good . The staff is pretty friendly too.

I've been coming to blenders for around a year now, and have really enjoyed EVERY smoothie I have tried, but my favorite is the orange banana . I could go on and on about the morning staff at this location. Blake is always a friendly face in the morning on my way to work, and has even memorized my order. Kaitlin and Jose are terrific as well, and I know it must be hard for those kids to get up that early and yet they're still always nice and welcoming! Thank you blenders for starting my day off right everyday read more

Ordered Pina Colada with bee pollen, Anti inflammatory with vitamins. Both were delectable best smoothie, clean, fresh ingredients. Better than Jamba Juice. A must try. "It's F_____n fantastic!"- words spoken of a Blenders experience. read more

I'm going to keep this review sweet and tasteful, like my drink. It was a very easy process and it was one of the best juice bars I've been to on the west coast. The prices were good and I loved my drink. I waited for ~3 minutes before I got my drink. I got the "cleanse." Loved it. Would buy the whole menu if I could. read more

Blenders has become a frequent morning routine for me. When I'm not quite feeling breakfast or not too hungry, but still have the haunting reminder of my mom's voice telling me how it's the most important meal of the day; I turn to Blenders. They are a local chain in the Central Coast offering a whole variety of smoothies to take on the day (plus acaí bowls, fresh juices and wheatgrass shots). What I enjoy is that they have something for pretty much everyone: vegan, lactose free, vegetarian...the list goes on. Choose from various menus titled Juicy, Creamy, Tropical, or Powerful. My personal go to flavor is the Tropical Mango (mango juice, peaches, banana, non-fat frozen yogurt, orange sherbert). My second favorite, especially if I want something full of protein and more filling is the Peanut Butter (non-fat milk, peanut butter, banana, ice milk); plus I have the option to add chocolate or even carob! Lastly, you get to choose a supplement to add into your creation ranging from Immune Support, Energy, Bee Pollen, Antioxidant, Probiotic and more. The staff is almost always very friendly, even at the earliest hours of the morning. The inside is small and pretty much standing room only (besides one bench), so it's primarily for take-out. Perfect for before an ocean stroll or mountain hike. Just as their slogan states, it truly is "Fresh-Quick-Nutritious-Delicious." read more

When I first came to town, I wanted a 'Jamba' they said this is Santa Barbara's 'jamba' so I went to check it out, and this place definitely did not disappoint. I still haven't figured out what my favorite drink is because I'm still exploring the menu but I love going here. read more

Order the tropical fuzz smoothie from their secret menu. It was really good and thick. I like the variety of flavors and the customer service is excellent. The workers, Leila and Daniella, are very friendly. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again. read more

Great ice cream. Store is like 180 degrees tho. Fix the AC. You're torturing your employees and customers to save a buck.

Stopped here today when hubby wanted a smoothie. Small store but very clean and well lit. I picked a pre-designed smoothie from their big, easy-to-read menu and ordered. Hubby ordered and waited for both our drinks while I browsed in a nearby store. I thought I had time to linger but he was out with our drinks super fast. Except for the one piece of frozen fruit (strawberry) that didn't seem to get blended at all, the smoothie was VERY smooth. Staff was polite and friendly. I'd come here again! read more

Three times , I had to go back to blenders First I ordered a small chocolate,and a blue banana they said do you want chocolate in it?I said No I want a blue banana. When I went to drive home, it turned out to be vanilla. Of course I went back. They tried again and gave me another one which tasted like Chocolate in it. The third was blue , but tasted like banana. I have never tasted thie berries in it or in the Srawberry. read more

The owner, Scott, called and discussed this situation. He was able to shed light on the processes involved to keep me as a long time standing customer! Blenders remains the best smoothie spot in town; from the best prices, to the quality ingredients and endless smoothie+supplement combinations (not to mention bowls!) Enjoy! read more

This was a busy spot! Took about 20 minutes to get my order in but less than 5 minutes before it was ready. Many of their smoothies have ice cream in them. I went with the Recovery as it was one of the only "healthier" ones without ice cream and with some vegetables in there. I couldn't taste the veggies at all. It was very tasty and chocolatey! read more

Literally the best smoothie chain ever! I crave their tropical guava smoothies. I always try to come here at least twice whenever I am in town. The employees are friendly and helpful and the interior is cool. The only thing I would have them change is to have them use paper or plastic cups instead of styrofoam and to have some more food items. Right now, all they serve food wise is cookies and sweet breads. Overall though, Blenders is my favorite smoothie chain and you should definitely try it out when you are in town! (If you like guava, the tropical guava smoothie is the bomb!) Come here if you want great smoothies and atmosphere! read more

Blenders is located off Calle Real in the out door shopping center not too far from Trader Joe's. There is plenty of parking in the lot shared by various other stores in the area. Store has the same layout as their other locations. There is very limited interior seating. Their menu is pretty simple and easy to follow. If you need any substitutions or have allergy restrictions the staff will be more than willing to make your order. Each drink order includes one supplement. They offer a good variety of supplements to choose from: Whey Protein, Chia Seeds, Bee Pollen, Antioxidant, Probiotic, Flax Seeds and other Vitamin mixes. If you bring in your own cup or purchase a Blender's cup then you'll receive 50 cents off your order. For drink orders you only have the option for 12 oz and 24 oz but if you would like an additional small cup to share they will do that upon request. Whenever here I always get the Tropical Kale: Pineapple Juice, Kale, Peaches, non-fat Frozen Yogurt, and Pineapple Sherbet. This drink has a very good refreshing taste which all the ingredients compliment each other well and nothing is over powering. I am not a fan of eating Kale but you wouldn't notice it in the drink other than the subtle taste and the drink's green color. The drink is blended very well and you wont be left with chunk of various ingredients at the bottom of the cup or clogging your straw. If you're in the area and looking for drinks or smoothies then come by give Blender's a try. Blender's is my favorite smoothie shop and definitely prefer them over other shops in the area. They have good customer service and process all orders pretty efficiently. read more

The best Smoothie and Juice Bar in town and a local gem for sure! I order primarily the banana chocolate (sometimes add peanut butter too) and the Red Mango plus you get a free supplement of your choice added as well with your order... highly recommend stopping by read more

What's Up? I thought California was the progressive leader of all things healthy and cutting edge, and I especially thought Southern California was for smoothies. But then I come to this super popular place with the great name and I am baffled (?!?!?!). The smoothies are full of sugar & ice and served in big Styrofoam cups !. Not very environmental. Nothing is organic and it is a bit expensive too. But, really nice people work here and they did their best to help me create my own drink ( dates & banana with no ice). On the plus side, they have fresh wheat grass shots. read more

I have a serious problem with the amount of times I've been here...I actually have a spreadsheet of every time I come here and the drink I get and what I think of it. After coming here so many times, my favorite is either the Red Mango or Red Pineapple. The red mango sometimes has too strong of a banana flavor depending on the day but I find that Red pineapple never disappoints. read more

I love this place. Honestly, the only thing that can topple the juggernaut known as Jamba juice is this place. The only time I get to try this place is when I visit my friends in sb. This is legit one reason I actually go and visit them. I get the Berries Plus. read more

Best Blenders out of all of em. Hands down best employees. If you wanna try the best smoothie in SB go there.

Fast. Delicious. What else do you need. Also definitely consider getting the reusable cup if you plan on coming here often!

Acai Berry Power blend smoothie thing rocked my socks. I like the texture of the blended ice. It's not completely a smooth smoothie like Jamba Juice. It stays cooler for longer. The staff was very friendly. Supposedly the Kale Breeze and Pina Colada are awesome. Lots of drink options.... I purchased a cookie and bran loaf slice. They were both SOOOOO delicious! I'll be back!!!!! read more

Blenders In the Grass - I can never resist carbs or COOKIES - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Goleta, California

I always have a soft spot for delicious smoothies and Blenders is definitely ranked #1 in my heart, i mean... stomach. I was visiting Santa Barbara and of course you have to eat your way through the city. I came to this Blenders in Goleta on the way to the Butterfly Preserve just down the freeway. Jamba juice has nothing on Blenders! Environment - a very simple shop where there's only a counter when you walk in and then a bench or two to the right to sit down while you wait. It's very bright and inviting! Service - I swear, it seems like it only took about 30 seconds to make my drinks. The guys behind the counter are extremely talented and know exactly what to do with the smoothies. When my friend asked which two drinks they recommended they did not hesitate in answering, and they did it with a smile and laugh :) so cute. Drink - I opted for a creamier smoothie because that's just how I prefer it, but I don't think you can go wrong with any choice here. Tropical Mango - this was my drink and I absolutely loved it! I like the Mango-a-go-go drink the most at Jamba and this tasted just like it, only creamier and better! Yummy! :) if I lived in Santa Barbara, I would probably be broke from all the Blenders I would be getting. read more
