I recently tried Nektar Juice Bar, and while the juices and smoothies seemed fresh, I found the…read moreprices a bit high compared to competitors. I went into this place excited to try something new. The smoothie i got tasted kind of bland and had chunks of powdery fruit - it tasted pretty similar to the $2.99 costco smoothie except...just like 3x the price. I understand i could have said no to the price and left but i wanted to give it a try anyway since my spirit was high and hopeful. I left feeling a bit sad. Most places in the area offer similar juices for $8-$9, while Nectar's were around $11-$12. The quality for my smoothie was definitely questionable whereas my friend's smoothie was very good, but if you're budget-conscious, it's something to keep in mind. Service was friendly, and the space is nice, so it's a decent spot if you don't mind paying a little extra.

We came here last evening to check out this location after stopping in at the downtown Kirkland one…read moreearlier in the evening. This location is in a great place right inside of the LA Fitness Signature Club in the Totem Lake area of Kirkland. They definitely have a captive audience as the inside of the health club is HUGE so there's a lot of potential customers who need a healthy reward after their workouts. At our visit, the club workout machines seemed well occupied and several members stopped by to order after their workouts. We had just finished dinner so my wife and I shared a 32 oz PB&J which was recommended by the super fun and energetic staff and it did not disappoint. We were helped by the trio of Maria, Michelle and Camilla. Each had a ready smile and were very helpful and friendly. We also met the woman who owns this and the downtown Kirkland location. She was super nice as well. Camilla expertly made our smoothie and I am now addicted. I need to return and have another one of these delicious and nutritious beverages! Keep it up Emerald City Smoothie!!

EMERALD CITY SMOOTHIE @ KIRKLAND…read more Came here to bring my team and I some fresh smoothie drinks for a work meeting. Extremely difficult time to get parking as this place is inconvenient at the main roads of Downtown Kirkland, so snatching a spot would be pulling to the side to parallel. I'd recommend parking near the Shell for street then walking down. Staff wasn't the most friendly, as a first timer I've never tried any of their drinks before, there wasn't a greeting or at least a "if you have any questions" - and the price itself was on the higher note of $8-$10 for a smoothie. I really liked how they organized the menu to where your goal would fit the perfect smoothie, some labeled as "Boost your immune system" or "Bulk Me up" it was clever. I decided to go for the Green Goddess, and it had lots of ingredients in it that was shown. The place was on the smaller side, there wasn't another customer present, but not much space to stand around or really sit. I'd recommend grabbing a smoothie and going for a walk at the park.

I get bowls here all the time but today got one that was much smaller than normal. Disappointing.read more

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.

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.

You would think this is Homegrown part 2, similar vibes, no change in decor really (Kirkland Location) but it looks like it was started by Lisa Nordstrom. Was always a fan of Homegrown, but glad that Sona has replaced them in this location because the meals are more "meals" instead of more for just breakfast or lunch bites. The beef steak hits, the rice, sauce, sweet potato, arugula. I could eat this 4 days a week. Chicken was good too, Salmon not bad. All seemingly thoughtfully cooked. Haven't tried the smoothies yet, can't wait. All the employees were very friendly and prompt. The line to order went quick, but the wait for food did not. I never mind waiting for good tasting food so its not an issue for me. Wish they would open past 4pm!!!!!!!

Cute little restaurant right across from Juanita Beach!…read moreWe've been here a couple of times, usually after dropping off my little one at school. It's always quiet inside, which makes it a perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy breakfast. The servers are genuinely friendly and easy to talk to. We love their veggie sandwich -- it's loaded with roasted vegetables and hummus, and you can really taste the freshness. My husband tried the beet sandwich and enjoyed it as well. The only thing I'd say is that the bread can be a bit on the dry side. I'm also a big fan of their coffee! Overall, it's a lovely place to unwind and have a peaceful breakfast. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

After waiting in line we were up next, the cashier said they were no longer serving breakfast, it was 11:02 by the time it was our turn to order. Leaving this review since it was a poor customer experience to not have been told when we called about the breakfast hours and not been served when we were in line before they stopped breakfast. That being said the establishment is nice and cozy, the staff were friendly, and they seemed to have a good selection on their menu.
