I am out visiting Barstow for work and was pleasantly surprised by this place. The serving size was…read moremore than enough, but WOW talk about taste! I got the banana macadamia protein shake and was blown away. Normally I feel that protein shakes either get that telltale, chalky kind of flavor or are waaaay over-sweetened to hide the taste. But this shake was delicious, the perfect balance of sweetness with the banana and nutty flavor and a hint of cinnamon. It also uses plant protein which is a huge win since I have a whey allergy. Service was quick and friendly, and the big windows and board games give this space a bright and friendly feeling. Very pleased with my purchase, highly recommend.

Absolutely terrible customer service. I ordered when there was no line and no one making orders,…read moreyet my food took 30 minutes while two people who ordered after me got theirs first. When I politely asked the manager why it was taking so long, she responded incredibly rudely and defensively, as if I was unreasonable for simply asking about my order. Even worse, after I asked, the employees seemed to intentionally slow down, chatting while my order still wasn't done. When my food was finally called, I politely asked the employee why people who ordered after me were served first. Once again, I was met with attitude and defensiveness instead of a simple explanation or apology. I was completely polite throughout the entire interaction. Apparently, at Nekter, asking a reasonable question about a 30-minute wait is enough to offend the staff. The wait was bad. The attitude was worse. I won't be coming back.

Her personality is infectious, she's friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the whole visit feel special. Give that woman a raise! On the food side -- wow. The Perks Panini was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. Perfectly pressed, great flavors, no notes. And then there was the 32 oz carrot cake drink... out of this world doesn't even cover it. I don't know how they packed that much flavor into a cup but I was not complaining. I could drink that every single day. This place has great food, great drinks, and even better people. Perks has officially earned a regular customer. Highly recommend!

The only issue I had was the customer service. I came here Saturday the 23rd around 3:00-3:30 PM…read morewith 2 friends. The girl at the counter was on the phone before taking our order. She saw us walk in, and it took about 5 minutes before she acknowledged us and said she'd be with us. We honestly didn't mind waiting at first, but while standing there we could hear her personal conversation on the phone. At first we thought it was work related or maybe she was taking an order, but she was actually giving someone directions on how to post photos on her damn IG .SMH. When she finally took our order, one of my friends asked questions about the drink she wanted, and the employee was pretty short with her answers. My friend ended up getting what seemed like strawberry milk instead of the coffee drink with strawberry foam/syrup she expected, so unfortunately her drink was kind of a mess. Me and my other friend got the Seattle Freeze, and that was actually really good super delicious. We sat down and about 10minutes later she went right back on the phone. Another customer came in a couple with their kid and this time she clearly saw them walk in. The customers stood there waiting and looking at her, but she still didn't acknowledge them. Then she says whoever she was talking to on the phone..." Oh...customers just walked in" when the customers had literally been standing there already watching her. This is unprofessional ..customers were not a priority at all. The wait itself wasn't the issue, it was more the fact that she didn't seem to care.

The owner knows a great deal about the products so he'll help you out. As far as selection it's the best in Barstow, if not all of the southern High Desert. Fat Burners, Whey Protein, and other body-builder goodies can be found here - even all-natural stuff. There are a selection of discounts you can grab on, especially if you get the membership card. It's point- based, I believe, so you can build up to items such as -$10 for $60 and over purchases. Long run savings are always good. Don't like powders and stuff? Dr. Smoothie will take care of your sweet tooth! They have a selection of all natural GMO-free smoothies and lattes that is a good pit-stop post work-out or just for a healthy treat. There is an option to add "shots" like Protein and Fat Burners. Highly reconmended for all needs!

The fact that it's all the way in Big Bear makes it even more surprising because the fish is always so fresh and the flavors are, of course, amazing. This is genuinely one of the highlights of every trip when I get the chance to come here. I've tried a few of the bowls and they've all been solid, but the Kraken is definitely my go-to. The fish, flavors, and toppings all work so well together. I love everything about this bowl and find myself thinking about it even when I'm nowhere near Big Bear. I'm also glad they were able to move into a bigger location because the old one was much smaller. It can still get PACKED though. On our most recent visit, we came around 3:30 pm on a Monday during the last week of December and waited about 45 minutes to order, then another 20 minutes for our food. They have a self-order kiosk now, which helps keep things moving, but I'd still be prepared for a wait when it's busy. Considering how good the food is, I completely understand why so many people are here. The staff deserves a mention too. They're always so kind, welcoming, and high-energy, which makes the experience even better despite how busy it can get. I seriously love Tropicali. It's wild to me that some of my favorite poke is all the way up in Big Bear, but I always look forward to the next time I can come back. Absolutely worth the wait every time.
