The Toxin Flush is much better than most green drinks (it actually tastes good lol) and we loved the Go Bananas. I'd highly recommend adding coconut whipped cream to them. The place is super clean, quiet, and located right next to the Downtown Park! Service was excellent as well, and I especially love the convenience of being able to pre-order online.

Stopped by Nekter Juice Bar for a smoothie, and it happened to be National Peanut Butter Day, so…read morethere was a peanut butter smoothie special. Got a PB Health Nut (peanut butter, banana, dates, cashewmilk) and customized it with added blueberries and strawberries. Smoothie was freshly made and tasty. Ordering on the app makes it easy to customize the smoothie. The staff were friendly and were able to serve my smoothie in my reusable glass tumbler. Thanks for supporting sustainability and reusable cups! Store is clean and has a few tables and chairs where you can enjoy your smoothie. There's also free wifi and lots of windows, for some sun and natural lighting.

My friend and I walked over to Emerald City Smoothie in Downtown Bellevue after doing barre class…read morenearby. This was my first time at Emerald City Smoothie in ten years and my first time at the Downtown Bellevue location. The interior is fairly small with only a few tables to sit/stand at and so it's mostly a takeout place rather than a place to meet with friends. Emerald City Smoothie has a wide menu and categorize their menu into five categories based on health goals: "Boost My Immune System", "Help Me Lose Weight", "Go Green", "Bulk Me Up" and "Nourish My Body". They also have a menu just for "Boosters" which cost extra and include everything from antioxidants to bees pollen to creatine and fat burner. Lastly, they have a Secret Menu which includes Banana Creme Pie, Matcha Green Tea, Maui Paradise, Mountain Berry Blast, Orange Creamsicle, Piña Colada, and Peanut Butter Cup. I'm pretty sure their secret menu is just drinks that don't fit into the other categories (or ran out of room for), because they had these same drinks on their menu ten years ago. I ordered the MATCHA GREEN TEA (16-oz) off the secret menu. This smoothie has soy milk, matcha, non-fat milk, and whey. For $7.44 (including tax), this was pretty pricey for a "healthified" matcha Frappucinno. They obviously don't use high quality matcha as the matcha color was on the yellow side and the taste was quite diluted and bland. It mostly just tasted like sugary blended milk with little to no matcha flavor; I was honestly disappointed, but drank it anyway. My friend got her favorite NUTTY BANANA (sub vegan protein) which has banana, peanut butter, protein, and nonfat milk, which is probably what I should've gotten instead. She also ordered a PB&J and MANGO MANIA for her family members which are also supposed to be decent. Lesson learned, stick with the fruit smoothies. Service was good- the baristas are friendly and efficient and we got our drinks within 10 minutes after ordering. Overall: 2/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

I've given this place a try 3 times when going with other people and I have tried different smoothies each time, and I didn't not like the taste of any of them.

This place is tucked away in a small plaza area in Factoria not too far a drive from Factoria Mall,…read moreand it looks like it's limited in parking until you drive deeper to reach the entrance of this place. Inside has some claw machines with some products I haven't seen before in other stores offering gacha stuff. There's also a hallway of street signs that make you feel like you're in Japan but are also bogged down by storage boxes and is just a hallway potentially leading to a restroom? Not sure, but there's only a couple tables with chairs inside so it's more ideal for one-on-one or 3-person hangouts. Menu has milk tea, smoothie, oolong and slush offerings and they also have takoyaki. I got their oolong tea with sea salt cream and added grass jelly as a topping, I got this at 50% for both ice levels and sweetness, and even that didn't really help with making the drink as great it should be. Salted cheese was really heavy in taste, and tea wasn't the best quality despite being very strong. Grass jelly wasn't satisfying to chew either, it was a little harder than what I would have liked. Not my go-to place, though it did catch my eye since I've already been to its other location in Renton. Good for quick milk tea, but not likely to come back.

This is a review for the açaí bowls only (not juice). I ordered it to-go and it was buy one get one…read morefree so I thought it would be a good deal. Maybe it was because it's a to-go order but the bowl was super runny like goop-ey. I was expecting much firmer but it just looked like the texture of soupy melted ice cream. The toppings were fresh though and I liked the coconut bits and granola, however it was super sweet. I wasn't expecting such a sweet taste and I'd prefer it to be more healthy. I asked for the agave drizzle but they didn't even put it on which I'm thankful for because I think it would've been like 10x sweeter if I had agave in addition. Overall, I probably wouldn't order it again unless there's another BOGO and I would go in person to order on the spot rather than do a pick up order since it's basically just melting there on the counter.

Their specialty drinks are the highlight, with unique options like a sweet corn latte. We tried the coconut and black sesame lattes. Both had strong coffee flavor and leaned a bit bitter, but still good. The strawberry croffle was delicious, and the ham and cheese piadina was solid. Service was quick. Parking is a bit annoying with mostly street options. Overall, a good spot to try something different, but not quite a go to for me.

The drink leaned more toward a matcha mango milk tea, which I loved. had that creamy, smooth matcha base with a subtle sweetness from the mango. What really stood out were the small chunks of real mango in the drink. They had a soft, almost jelly-like texture but were actually fresh fruit, which made it feel more refreshing and less artificial compared to typical fruit add-ins. It added a nice burst of flavor and texture in every sip.
