Would definitely come again! Never knew we had a Nektar in our neck of the woods. Service was good. Ambiance super cute indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely going to grab a book and read here next time. Week day morning kinda wholesome activity.

Nekter has unfortunately been one of the more disappointing customer service experiences I've had…read morein the area. When I walked in, it took several minutes for anyone to even acknowledge me--no greeting, no "we'll be right with you," nothing. I arrived about 35 minutes before closing, which is more than enough time to make a juice and still close by 7, but the blenders and juicers were already "done for the night." The frustrating part is that the business itself is actually spacious, clean, and has plenty of seating for customers. They also offer a decent selection of grab‑and‑go items, which makes the experience even more surprising because the setup clearly supports people coming in up until closing. They're generally accommodating with substitutions, but they can be a bit stingy with higher‑value ingredients, which doesn't help justify the price point. As someone who previously worked in and supervised the Whole Foods Market juice bar down the street, we would never deny a customer a beverage during business hours. Cleaning a blender takes about 30 seconds, and it's part of the job until the doors are actually closed. It was disappointing to be turned away when the store was still open. For feedback, the team could have at least offered an alternative option instead of shutting down the interaction entirely. I understand most of the staff are likely high school or college‑aged and eager to clock out, but a little courtesy and effort go a long way. I haven't been back since, which is a shame because the space itself has potential.

Quaint little spot to get acai bowls and/or smoothies. I appreciate there is proportionate amount…read moreof toppings to base ratio. I ordered online and they were ready by the time it said. Personally, I would want more options for acai bowls (which is why Blue Bowl is still the best). I would also make a comment that the ingredients aren't blended fully. I actually don't mind (kind of nice because you know real ingredients are being used and blended), but just mentioning in case, for example, you're feeding a kiddo and they wonder what the green thing staring at them from the bowl is.

Interestingly, I keep forgetting to do a Review on mother's market!…read more Perhaps because when I go shopping groceries, this doesn't come to mine. But it should! The first thing one may notice upon entering is that there is wonderful clean, fresh natural smelling environment! My daughter wanted to meet to buy a rotisserie chicken saying that it's just delicious. They would be closing in 30 minutes, so there are so many employees here just cleaning, & sanitizing everything Mother's market seems to be one of those places in my opinion that I for one take for granted. But appreciate immensely. Robert in the produce helped us, very nice employee. The isles are always large for wheelchairs, motorized scooters, etc. since especially we're near Laguna Woods Senior citizen area. I heard that this place is really popular on senior day. Not sure if that's Tuesday or Wednesday but everything is 15% off. Hopefully, I'll be able to visit this place more as I intend to eat healthier and fresher.

I've been going to Mother's since I was a teenager and normally I love it. But honestly, they have…read morethe most inconsistently made drinks at the juice bar these days. The smoothies never taste the same twice, and that's NOT a compliment. I just paid $16 for a smoothie that is supposed to have banana in it, and I do not taste any banana, not even a pinch, I think it was absolutely left out of my drink. Now I've got this giant flavorless smoothie to force down. The last time I got the same smoothie and it was so incredibly imbalanced with the flavors it was insane. Are you people using recipes for your smoothies and actually measuring out the ingredients? I do not think that you are. I think you guys just through stuff into the blenders and hope for the best. There is just no way recipes are being used because the smoothies just never taste right. They are so expensive and they never taste correctly made. Ever. This is the last time I'm going to the juice bar. So disappointing!!!! Addendum: had to throw the entire drink away. It was inedible. Tasted like ice and peanut butter, that's it.

Second time here and everything was just as tasty as I remembered it being!

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the ambiance is really nice! The staff are always super friendly and that's always appreciated:) It's worth noting that it takes minimum ten mins after ordering (from my experiences) before the bowl is prepared, so make sure to account for that when coming in.

I'd heard of the "Gen Z stare" but today was the first time I'd actually experienced it…read more I walked in and there weren't any customers. Not one employee said hello, "We'll be right with you," or even acknowledged that I was standing there. After a couple minutes one of them walked up to the register and just stared at me. I finally asked, "Are you ready to take my order?" She just kept staring. So I started telling her my order. The entire time neither employee smiled or said much of anything. Then I paid with a gift card and wasn't sure if I was supposed to swipe it or tap it on the Square reader. Instead of simply telling me, the girl rolled her eyes, grabbed the card out of my hand, and did it herself. Maybe it's a generational thing, maybe it isn't. Either way, customer service still matters. Greeting customers, communicating, and showing even a little friendliness shouldn't be too much to ask. This location could really use some customer service training.

Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.
