I frequent this smoothie shop as it's nearby my apartment. However the staff is a hit or miss, one day I was unable to eat and not feeling great. I decided to get a smoothie since I couldn't keep food down. I ordered it to the wrong location not knowing there was another Capitol Hill location 10 minutes away from this one. It took everything in me just to walk to this shop, I showed the staff member and asked if I could have it reordered there and she responded "I don't know" dryly. I ended up walking to the other location and it has made me second guess going to the one within 2 minutes of my apartment. read more

Out of all the emerald city smoothie places I've been this location makes the worst tasting ones.

Came in with my colleague for our lunch I go to many many emerald City smoothies from all over the northwest this has to be one of the worst stores I've ever been in the lady was rude there is no reward she says and there's nothing on your shelves not very welcoming or inviting did not offer any cool ideas basically really bad attitude whoever you have running the store I would suggest you put down the book and maybe start to be a little bit more interested in your customers that come in. read more

Store smelled bad. Graffiti on the walls. Smoothies tasted "gummy" and artificial... Didn't even finish my drink read more

Great service and all friendly staff. All kinds of smoothies can be found here. All espressos and teas and lattes. 5 stars.

bleached/blonde hair low 20s kid closed 30 minutes, when i tried to open door he made rude gestures at me and my pals I will NEVER consider coming back to this establishment unless I know I am a valued customer I have been coming to emerald city smoothies for years, I have so many good memories at emerald smoothie cities, all to get it ruined by some kid who couldn't work for another twenty minutes FIX THIS! read more

I've had the PB&J smoothie from here many times and have always enjoyed it. The staff is always friendly, and the vibes are good.

Rarely open on time. Often employees don't arrive until 9 or after and don't open the store for another 30 minutes.on my most recent visit I ordered a vegan dream, my normal order, and the smoothie they gave me was green, not the usual pink. read more

Came here twice during business hours and it has been closed. Hours of operation for today (Saturday) is until 8 pm. They closed at 7 pm. The open sign on the window is on but the door is locked and all the lights are off. They should update their hours to match their hours of operation so ppl don't waste their time. read more

This place was amazing! The person working was very kind and helpful in showing me how it worked since i had never been there before. I got the açaí smoothie and added energy to it. I got a 24oz and it seemed a lot bigger than that too. It tasted amazing and was very refreshing. A lot of bang for your buck. I would definitely come here again. read more

Capital Hill location was AMAZING! Was able to add kale and spinach with collagen and double protein with soy milk My friend and I were in a rush to bible study but I was starving. Now my belly is full and the employee was so quick and kind Thank you so much !! read more

Hours said 7, and worker hadn't locked door so we opened it to them telling us that they were closed. Hours should be marked correctly or a note should be made so customers can know and plan accordingly. They grabbed the door and closed it on us talking to someone laying on the chairs by the door as a second customer was walking up behind me. read more

It's pretty mid. Good when I'm desperately craving a smoothie but would rather make my own. Vibes are yikes. People are friendly though.

I have been ordering the same smoothies for as long as Emerald City has been around! Sent my girlfriend into this location, while I was literally die'n in the hospital. The kid there was undertrained and frankly had no business even making smoothies! Couldn't comprehend how to swap out blueberries and almond milk for the strawberry sweet trash they normally put in The Vegan Dream. She came back with the worst $15 smoothie I have ever had Will never go here. The owner is absent and it shows read more

Would give negative if I could. I go to emerald smoothie all the time. Unfortunately I went to this location. Nasty smoothie , refused to give me refund. Noticed after they have gnats flying over all of their uncovered product. Disgusting makes me never want to drink another smoothie again. read more

I am always glad to have a smoothie here after working out. I so appreciate the fast service and dependable delicious smoothies. Thank you :-D read more

Always get the large pb and j its my favorite. Everyone who works there has always been chill with me although personally I dont suffer from ocd or have any weird food allergies. read more

I truly hate this ECS, the customer service is pure poop!!! The same person works at the other one up the street as well. They never greet you and just gives a death stare when your trying to order. Nasty looking finger nails that's sharpen at the tip. The inside is very dirty and sticky flies buzzing all over the place. I hope they shut these 2 locations down asap!!! I would give a zero star if I could!! read more

I came in to order a smoothie. I have dietary restrictions, so I proceeded to ask questions about what was in the smoothie. When she started to make the "Pacific Splash" I noticed her using a syrupy strawberry mix, rather than fresh strawberries, so I stopped her before she used them and asked for a different drink. She then rolled her eyes and took the customers' order behind me. I don't know her name because she refused to tell me. She claims she's the manager. MOST RUDE WOMAN I'VE EVER MET! read more

Emerald City Smoothie - The rude lady from my review. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a New discovery for me only because my brother took me here. He had a craving for smoothie, I didn't but why not!? They offer all sorts of healthy options which, they can add different types of supplements you can hope for. If you wish to have more energy or detoxify, lose weight, gain some weight? They have smoothies that will tickle your fancy. They have 2 sizes: medium and large. Outside of the juicing process, you will find some canned energy drinks and snack bars. There are 2 people working behind the counter who are pleasant to assist and in a timely fashion. Swing by if you are in the area. Lots and lots of smoothies. One thing I wish they had? My avocados. None here at all. Just fyi... Credit cards or cash are both acceptable. read more

My co workers and I always go here after we eat our lunch! Great service, great quality drinks cause I always get the same thing! PB&J with banana! Everyone there is so sweet and welcoming! read more

I love smoothies and they are my favorite place to get one. Never got my smoothie wrong, there are many that I love on the menu and I always, always feel refreshed drinking one! read more

I used to love this location but it is more and more inconsistent with the quality of smoothies , it's a crapshoot if the smoothie I order off the menu will taste right . I just had my smoothie remade and she argued with me when I said it tasted wrong , and then the second one was still wrong . I wish there's was consistency of training because there were 3 guys that are sometimes there that kill it every time and there is hardly a wait time when they're working . read more

I have no idea what's going on with this location's hours, but it seems like they open and close on a different schedule every week. I came to get a smoothie today well past when they are supposed to be open, only to see they were not. Their phone line told me that they actually open at a different time, so I went back again at that time and still nobody there. Please update your business hours, it's really confusing when the shop is open one day and then it's just randomly closed for long periods! read more

I walked in and it was super busy since it was sunny I decided to be nice and try to keep the door open. Well the girl that was making the smoothies rudely yelled "why are doing that". Me & two other people gave a surprised look. Horrible customer service we left. read more

It's a combination of a GNC and Jamba Juice that is staffed by music store employees. There is a wide selection of muscle milk and protein powders to supply the entire cast of jersey shore. I am there for the smoothies that taste great. My favorite is the Pineapple Bliss. I notice there are shots or boosters available but they never asked me if i wanted to add them to my drink. but over-all good smoothies. read more

Winter time is an excellent time to drop in at Emerald Smoothie because they are usually running some type of gift card deal: buy at $20. gift card at a $25. value; or something like that. During the spring and summer this place can get pack during lunch hour as students pour out of Seattle Central between classes. Be patient, the line moves fast. read more

Anyone who frequents Emerald city smoothie shops will understand my review. This is the worst ECS shop I've been to yet. I always get the emerald w/PB or the lean out. The last time I came here, the guy who made my emerald made it weird; it TASTED weird. It tasted off. I was already in my car on my way back to work, so I didn't have time to go back and ask for another drink. I just prayed I wouldn't get sick. Fast forward to today, the same guy made my smoothie but this time it was the lean out. After today, I'm never going back. It tasted off but this time it's like he left out ingredients. I'm pretty sure he didn't put banana in it. It tasted watery. Do not waste your time here. If you can, go to the Tukwila, Lakewood, Burien or BOTH Kent locations. Like I said, I ALWAYS go to Emerald at least a couple times per week. Those locations will NEVER have your drink tasting weird or off. It's already bad enough this chain doesn't use fresh fruit all the time. Depending on the drink, they'll use syrups and purée. The least they can do is make the a drink right. Bonus: the burien and tukwila locations have unique drinks monthly so you don't have to stick to the same menu all the time. The Kent and Lakewood locations might also have a special menu but I'm not sure. read more

The fly situation is out of control. Buy some fly catchers or invest in air conditioning and close the door. There are at least two dozen flies hovering around in the shop. You just know they've been all up in that fruit. Blech. read more

I love PB&J so much! I stop by here everyday after class. Always ask extra protein on it.

I love this place. I go there every day. But I can't keep my mouth shut anymore. The guy with the dreads is awful. My first interaction with him was kicking a girl out for playing music on her phone. He said she was disrespectful, refunded her smoothie (while still giving her the smoothie?) Then kicked her and a friend out. He's ALWAYS in a bad mood. Very curt and short. Very unpleasant and uncomfortable. He never gives me the right size. I always order large but instead he makes what he wants. It feels very judgmental. Today was my last straw with him. As soon as I walked in he told a woman he was out of pineapple. I plainly saw six huge cans in the back. I took a picture of the pineapple and he FLIPPED out. Insulted me. Told me I was rude and disrespectful. He told me there were thirty people on line (there were three). He made me very uncomfortable. I come here every day but I'm done with him. If I see him behind the counter again im taking my business elsewhere. read more

I have a weakness for smoothies and I can usually get my fix here, they have a wide variety of different fruits and treats. You can even add fresh spinach and kale to any smoothie if you're feeling adventurous as well, it's a nice boost if you're looking to get in more veg The service is really fast at this place, they are really efficient. The only down side that I can think of is that they are a little pricey read more

I got a Peach Passion and it was really good. The lady also was nice about warning me they used whey protein when I mentioned being lactose intolerant. She switched it out for soy no problem. I got a good size smoothie, 24oz., for only 4.75 which is a good deal in my opinion. It tasted nice and sweet just the way I expected, but left me full. My partner got some mocha smoothie and mentioned really liking it as well. I enjoyed their perky helpful barista, fair prices, and delicious drinks. The space is a bit cramped though and this made me a bit overwhelmed so I will give it a solid 4stars. There is also no place to sit if you wanted to. It is solely a walk up and walk out kinda place. They also have coupons in Entertainment Book which offer some great discounts. read more

I went around 2:30pm on 06/02/15 and I had the Worst customer service, well I can't even say anything because I left after his retarded and stupid attitude. read more

the worker just stared at us while we asked if they're open. the lights were all off at 5pm (online said it was open). he obviously didn't care. read more

I love all smoothies with peanut butter! You I'll never get wrong! I love their smoothies!

My best friend and I love this location and get a smoothie from there almost every morning before school! Our favorite server is Anthony - he's always so cheerful, quick, energetic, and has awesome customer service skills! See y'all soon! read more

One of the best smoothies I've ever had! My order is a bit complicated with some substitutions and I felt a bit bad always having to explain it. Anthony the employee at the time was so patient and not only payed attention to the way I wanted it to taste, but also the consistency. I will definitely be sharing this experience! Thank you read more

Immunity Nectar, great for refreshing your day and rejuvenation. Staff was quick and efficient but in comparison the Jamba, wished there was more fruit variety and some healthy snacks. read more

Figured I'd try it out so I went in this morning for a smoothie after working out. The smoothie tasted amazing and the girl working was very polite, enthusiastic and made my visit very welcoming. read more
