I'd say I'm a loyal Emerald city smoothie customer. I frequent this location and the locations on Issaquah post gym. I've been coming to them more often since they've incorporated vegan / plant based proteins, easy modifications and no charges. I love their vegan dream, but I find it to be too sweet so my go to is the Emerald modified with chocolate plant-based protein. my husband loves the nutty Banana modified vegan as his go to with all the best ingredients especially if you love peanut butter. Every time I go, everyone is so friendly helpful making it easy to wanna come back. The other thing is that they're really fast at making their smoothies and if you didn't know, they have a loyalty program with your phone number. Now, why did I give them four stars? Well, they can be a little bit inconsistent with their smoothies and smoothie bowls. one thing as of the last 12 months is that I've noticed all of it to be heavy on the ice. Which means it's a watered down flavor. I don't mind ice in my smoothies and I don't mind water over alternatives like milk or juice. I actually prefer it, however I don't want my smoothie or my smoothie bowl to taste plain. read more

Love this place! My go-to used to be the Peaches and Greens but lately I've been loving the Mango Mania as well! The smoothies are always delicious and they have tons of options (probiotics, vitamins, protein powder, etc.) you can add to them! Employees are very nice and helpful and the store is clean and well decorated! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - Mango Mania - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redmond, Washington

I have owed these guys a review for a long time now. I have been drinking their smoothies since the shop in Redmond first opened (family friends). They have always turned out a high quality, delicious product. I think at some point I have probably tried every drink on the menu. My current drink of choice is The Emerald, with peanut butter. I drink this one primarily to get more greens, without a lot of carbs that I don't need. The employees tend to be on the younger side of the age spectrum, but they all seem well versed in the importance of customer service. PS I tried a green smoothie from Jamba last week at Disneyland, probably a 3 star. read more

Yummy... they have healthy smoothies and even have scoops of vitamins and nutrition powder for your drinks. They have fresh fruit and nice size glass of smoothie. The employees are great,, parking is great and I think this place is great!!! Try them you will not be sorry!!! Great read more

Hope you're not in a hurry. Always understaffed, and the staff is checked out. I routinely order ahead and rarely ready even 30 mins later. The product is great, just be prepared for untrained workers read more

Love this place ! Be sure to check in for a deal! I love the Sambazon and to add banana. Mango mania is great too! I save up my points for the açaí bowls which are sooo filling! There is plenty of parking in the lot and the street too. I've also ordered through Uber eats and it's gets to me quickly! The staff is always friendly and welcoming read more

Fabulous variety of healthy smoothies, bowls, and vegan snacks. Their menu divides into categories of health and wellness. I got a Mango Berry for a boost to my immune system. Absolutely glorious! Smooth and creamy and fabulous taste. Wish they were in my hometown! read more

I enjoy stopping by at this place every once in a while since they're close to my work. The young gentleman helping me during my last visit was efficient and very friendly. I think that the value is good and it seemed that they have something for everyone. read more

I love going to the Redmond location and having Adrian greet me! She's my favorite smoothie girl, she always remembers my order, my name and makes the best smoothies! My favorite to get is the PB & J & it's my favorite way to start my day. Thanks for being so amazing. read more

Terrible service! Waited 35 mins for my order. They gave people that ordered after us their smoothies before us. Came here with two of my kids who wanted smoothies after school. Never coming back again! read more

Really love their açaí bowls and would highly recommend getting their banana berry crunch! It's so good and filling. The one thing I find really annoying is if you, someone you're with, or someone in front of you or behind you orders the same thing (at least with açaí bowls), you get less of it. I've noticed this multiple times. For example, I'm with my friends and were deciding what to order. My one friend orders an açaí bowl. My other friend and I let others go in front of us because we're still deciding. Then, we also decide to order the same açaí bowl. My first friend's order comes out and her bowl is full to the rim. My friend and I's bowl comes out later, the one we ordered at the same time, and our bowls are 75% full and the friend who ordered first pointed that out. It's annoying that they give you less because they're making it at the same time. Other than that, it's a really good place with good prices. I come here all the time. read more

Stopped by after the gym a few weeks ago and it was the perfect refresher! We got the Mango Mania and really enjoyed it. Back for more! :)

I have stopped in a few times the last couple months and each time my smooth has been icy and not worth the price. Service is terrible as well, the people working here are always rude and very short. Super bummed I used to love it here. read more

The place is a bit small and not a big parking lot. But inside they have all I wanted and what my body needed. I had an Açaí berry bowl! Super delicious! Great staff as well, very friendly! Great job girls!!!! read more

Great smoothies, high prices (but all these types of places have high prices). I'm particularly impressed with this location. The female employee who was working late afternoon on Saturday (7/15) was terrific. She handled our two teenagers, particularly helping my 16 year old make a decision for his drink. This employee made the visit a great experience and I'm remiss for not getting her name. People like this, who have a helpful positive attitude, really improve the experience. Both kids enjoyed the smoothies very much! read more

Really well blended smoothie. The server's name was Lewis and he was very charming and welcoming. On top of that he really helped me pick a great smoothie for an excellent experience. read more

Love this store! I come after my workouts to enjoy fresh smoothie. 10/10 experience. My fav order is berry berry! read more

We bought bannan mania smoothie the small one 14oz and banana berry crunch bowl. It's lil pricey and Not worth the money. It's around 23$ total. Mango has a bitter after taste. And bowl was okayish average. Their granolas are not good, they literally have just the oats which hard to chew and other topping was nt that impressive. read more

I bought a açaí bowl. It was the worst açaí bowl ever. It was melted and gross. I took a couple bites and threw it away. Do not buy acai from this place. Buy it from Kitanda. I wish Emerald City Smoothie would be more transparent. They make our orders, and we don't even know what they put in it. We can't see a thing. Maybe transparent glass so customers can see how our food is prepared. read more

Best service ever! Friendly staff and super speedy too. Great location with ample parking

A great option to stop in after a workout or lunchtime - lots of supplements and snacks! read more

See all

Great smoothies. I like them better than Jamba Juice or other smoothie shops. They have some options of adding protein plus sell good nutritional bar options on the side. The Lean Out is great If you are watching calories but the PB&J is my all time favorite. I don't love the açaí bowls. Stick with their great smoothies. read more

My experience today brought the rating down. I've had awesome experiences every time but tonight wasn't it. I came in at 7:50, yeah, it was 10 minutes before close but getting turned away 10 minutes before is a bit odd. I come in all the time after my workout and always felt welcomed. I barely got a sorry- all I got was an "he's the last customer" right when I walked through the door. I get that it was 10 minutes before closing but even be closed at 8 if you're turning customers down before actual closing? Is it because the employees need to be out by 8? It's now 7:54 and the last customer they took just left. I don't get it. read more

My fiancée and I have been here three times now, and have yet to be disappointed. All of the workers are really nice and the smoothies are absolutely delicious every time! read more

Came in this morning for a post-workout smoothie and had a poor experience there. There was a girl with longer blonde hair and tattoos working the register that was cold and rude. It was not a very welcoming experience and for an $11+ smoothie, not worth it. read more

First time visiting. A lot of options. Do they use fresh or frozen fruits? I'm not sure. Prices are $7-8 (32oz). May need to try again as Jamba Juice takes forever. read more

Don't usually write reviews, but honestly this acai bowl was the worst I've ever had - so watery that it tastes like they ran out of acai and had to add ice for volume. The granola somehow has a popcorn after taste, only things salvageable from this $11 purchase are the bananas. Not worth at all, try Jamba Juice of HBC instead. read more

Great smoothies! Great service! You should definitely get a smoothie here. Try the berry berry!

Whoever you guys have working on the Friday crew really need to step it up, I had someone who ordered after me, get their drink before the person who had ordered before me and before I had got my own, the employees should take a minute for themselves and evaluate if they even want to be there because with the service that was displayed, it sure didn't seem like it. I normally don't leave reviews but the attitude and lack of energy was a bit disappointing, I usually enjoy coming here but seemed like today just wasn't the day. read more

The acai bowl was great the second time around! Thanks to the owner for giving a quality experience. read more

I would really appreciate if there was a way to contact this business besides leaving a bad review, but there isn't, so here you go. The staff are unsupervised teenagers, and the service is unpredictable at best. I've walked in to a completely empty store, I'm the only customer, and I've had a staff member make direct eye contact with me, and then let stand at the counter waiting to order for 3-5 minutes while they wash things. I managed a bakery and café for 4 years and understand that there are things to do behind the counter, but I fired people for acting the way the staff here routinely acts. The smoothies I get at other ECS locations actually taste like fruit, and are brightly colored. The ones from this location taste like ice and xanthan gum, and are pale pastel colors. $10 is like kind of a lot of money to be treated like shit and then given a cup of ice. What I'd really like is all the money back, that I've wasted here. (PS I always tipped - $2 at first, then usually more like $1 after awhile, but I always tipped - it didn't matter, or it wasn't enough or something). read more
