I really enjoyed this spot Outside seating is nice on a sunny day, and it's clean Their coffee protein shake is delicious and their acai bowls hit the spot In the beginning of my pregnancy I was craving lots of fresh fruit and I came here when I couldn't stand the sight of meat and it really helped me get my protein and calories in for the day Will be coming back, but you will wait a bit for your food as you listen to the employees gossip and slowly make your order. read more

Food: go bananas go to Walker first try very disappointing. Excited to try the fruit covered protein waffles. Looks like a good deal at $4.99. Ordered the go bananas, because out of all of them has the most protein at 13 grams. It doesn't look like the picture, the waffle edges are all dry & jagged like they need to be trimmed. They're smaller than they appear in the picture, by themselves, the batter has no flavor. Every bite it has an overwhelming taste of salt. It actually taste like someone take a salt shaker and check salt all over. It. I thought maybe it had salted caramel but now it just has peanut butter and cashew. I am on a no yo low sodium diet, so this is very disappointing. Jam slam has 12 g of protein, the berry shortcake and waffle avoCotto savory are both 8 g. Service: At Bressi Ranch location. I gave the exact change $5.38 for a pro Tien go bananas, waffle, and did not get cooked change back. I had to correct the cashier. Not busy no wait, fairly Empty, easy parking. read more

I ordered my smoothie online and was a little surprised and irritated it was not ready when I arrived after my scheduled time since I was headed to a Yoga Class. The cashier was ready to give me someone else's order but I told her that is not what I placed for my order. Anyways, she was able to whip it up fairly quickly. I got the Health Nut for the first time and it was really good! The parking in the are can be a little limited so you might have to walk-if you don't get lucky! Also, I was so shocked to learn that they close so early on Sundays I think 6 PM? read more

This is my go-to Nekter location. It can be a bit hard to find since it's nestled in the back of a shopping area. It's near Trader Joe's, around the corner. Staff are friendly. Whatever I have ordered has been good. I have tied their açaí bowls, protein waffles, cleanses, drinks and smoothies. My fav is the AB Health Nut and PB Health Nut. I use to get the cleanses a lot. As a tip, it's best to order the cleanses on the app so they can have it in stock or prepared since people buy the cleanses a lot like I did. Tip: Early mornings are less busy and parking is ample; lunch is busy and parking can be difficult. read more

Ordered the açaí mango bowl with granola on the side. $10, which is the expected. It wasn't too sweet which I liked & the fresh fruit was refreshing. Staff was nice and inside was clean. read more

Good quality product. Very fresh juices. Employees always have great suggestions when I'm looking to try something different. A bit pricy.

Great smoothies! Their skip the line service is amazing. Super time saver. I order after a workout close by and it's ready for pick up by the time I arrive. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - PB&J Smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Good juice but my God such slow service. I ordered 3 items with one couple in front of me, one to go order (of one smoothie) and it took them 20 min for the couple's order of an açaí bowl and a smoothie. The to-go smoothie was already done and waiting for the woman who walked in and my two smoothies and an açaí bowl (which left out the peanut butter and the whole reason I ordered it) took 35 min from when I ordered to when I left. I like the place but please don't put a tip section (which I tipped them too instinctively!) on your checkout when your staff reads the orders in the back (in full view of the customers) repeatedly to know what was ordered. There was no sense of urgency at all to kick out an order. I like it but this is the second time it has become a time suck to go and "grab a smoothie". read more

Very clean store, great customer service, and delicious creations! My go to is the PB Mocha with chia and whey. This is also convenient to drop by before grocery shopping or going to the dog park! Wish I got the girl's name who was working this morning, she was a ball of sunshine! A true delight. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - PB Mocha - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Nekter juice bar created a memorable and positive experience that goes beyond just the drink, making this location a popular destination for my family. read more

Overall this is a great place, and I'd give them four stars if it weren't for the inconsistent prep of smoothies. I order the PB Health Nut a few times a week and the quality really depends on who's working that morning. Not sure if it's a training thing or they're rushing but the smoothie may or may not be runny and taste like it's lacking peanut butter or the protein add in. I would recommend trying them out with some skepticism. read more

Very healthy. Great service. Very nice and clean. Love the bowls and smoothies. Fresh natural ingredients. Great alternative to a heavy lunch. read more

First time and it was a horrible experience. It wasn't busy and we were wondering why it's taking so long and found out they forgot to make our drinks. We got the order and it's not the way we requested . I'll give another shot another time . Maybe another worker will be better . One positive with this first time experience the place is pretty cool . read more

Today my on line order was a bit late, but that is ok, because one can see it is made and not pre-made (melting) and everyone in the store was hustling! They had a wave of customers, and remained polite and professional! The ever-changing order board in the store is always providing ideas for next time! read more

Nektar Juice in Bressi Ranch Carlsbad is my FAVORITE!! Every time you are greeted with a Happy smile! They even remember your name! They make you feel good, the minute you walk in. Their online app is very user friendly and accurate. You can even choose the time frame for your order pick up! And it's ready when you get there! It's Great! Rachel is the kindest! I truly enjoyed my conversation with her, while my order was being prepared. Thank you Rachel! She cares about her customers and it shows!! She has a really good team of employees! Mauro is Fantastic! He seems to always be working when I go there. I think he truly loves his job. He helped me over the phone one day, when I needed a last minute p/up order right before they closed. I can't forget Jen. She is terrific too! Always smiling & making sure you are being taken care of. This location (and I've been to several), is by far the Best! It's clean. Everything is made Fresh & tastes delicious! They always make sure your order is made just the way you like it. Excellent Customer Service! If you're looking for something Healthy & Yummy, Go to Nektar Juice in Carlsbad-Bressi Ranch. You will be Happy you did! read more

Amazing customer service! Always super yummy! Whenever I come in everyone is super friendly and always willing to help if I have any questions. This location is perfect since it's by a trader joe's and many more stores :) read more

Nekter juice bar in Carlsbad is so nice. I received amazing service from the manager Rachel. Also, the manager seemed very accommodating to the other customers that were there. Thank you Rachel @Nekter! read more

It's still pretty warm outside so this franchise is really nice to go to for some healthy hydration options. Greenie juice: I recommend asking for less apple juice to make it less sweet. Don't be discouraged by the list of green veg in this drink, it is surprisingly tasty. Don't worry it doesn't taste like one is eating a grass. Toxic flush: tastes like the greenie juice but with a nice kick to it because of the added ginger. Sublime juice: sort of tastes like a mix of a greenie juice and mojito. Difficult whether I like the toxic flush or sublime better. Little beet juice: it can be on the sweeter side due to the beets. I think next time I order this drink I will order it with more fennel to make it more spicy and less sweet. Now autumn is around the corner and I am looking forward to their pumpkin smoothie! read more

I love Nekter; however, this is privately owned or corporate or something. All I know is they don't take Apple Pay in store which is super weird. They also will not take over the phone orders which is super weird. It gets worse, you can't pay with Apple Pay on the app. I'm like "who doesn't take Apple Pay"? Gas stations take Apple Pay. The smoothie itself was made super well and tasted delicious. I just can't get past the other stuff. To not have Apple Pay in 2023 is inexcusable. read more

I loved this place. I came after a workout to have a protein bowl. Super refreshing, super fresh, and the smell of fresh fruits and veggies when I walk in made the vegan in me horny for health. Definately coming back for round 2. read more

Big smoothie bowl fan here. Nekter can be delicious, or can be a flavorless disappointment. They're inconsistent, especially with smoothies. I love the skoops (like ice cream) but 99% of the time they're out of stock. So lame and frustrating when we drive all the way there--excited--just to be let down. I was a fan of Nekter a few years ago, but I'm often disappointed with what I get (or they're out of stock), so I quit. Alohana Bowls are 1,000x better, imo. read more

I had the worst experience here. I ordered using the App ahead of time because I was short on time. I got there and checked in. It wasn't ready which was fine at first but when I watched people walk in and order and get their order. I asked why my order wasn't ready after it had been over 20 mins. I later realized it was 30 minutes to get two smoothies. They hadn't even started my order when I followed up. Instead of being nice they said we are only a few minutes past when it was due on the app??? There was nobody else in there. Plus, I saw on the App that a tip was included without me putting one in! They were tipped for the worst service. I tried customer service and they gave me points instead of my money back. No thank you I will never go here again. read more

Great juices and smoothies. I always get the greenie with ginger and ice added and it never disappoints! I like how they have smaller sizes for the little ones, my daughter loves to get a smoothie after tennis and it's become a thing with us. The mobile app makes it super convenient to order and we're usually in and out without any fuss. Warning though if mobile app user, they automatically add 20% tip when checking out so you don't need to "add" tip. After a month of using the app, I recently discovered I was double tipping them. Sneaky. read more

Great Nékter! Staff always courteous and they are quick at turning around the beverages. Manager at this location very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

The food is always fresh and tasty. Try the make your own smoothie and get coconut milk, spinach, kale, chia, whey, blueberries and strawberries. It's a great way to start your day. I have to say, you will have to wait. They are consistently under staffed and for the price you pay, You'd think you wouldn't have to wait around read more

Trust those who Yelp regularly... 1st time, but now I get it. Super fresh, super clean, and super fruits. M'Lissa explained so much to me about different organic ingredients and recommended NOT mixing a certain boost. What great service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Super menu - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Although not on the menu, the employees still made me the Date Nut smoothie that I wanted and in my opinion, needs to find its way back on the menu. They made me the 12 oz version which is quite enough given the smoothie's thickness and filling ingredients it comes with. The ice blend comes with raw vanilla bean, cashew-nut milk, dates, banana and nutmeg: all that great tasty ingredients and I hear good for you one way or another. The smoothie was delicious and no doubt well made. It had a great smooth but thick texture with little bits of dates here and there. The nutmeg and vanilla flavors were subtle but definitely noticeable in a very good way. It was a great smoothie and quite filling as well. The crew working this location were sociable and mighty fast in making the smoothie. I was not in a hurry or anything, but they just work well together. read more

The staff members here are super friendly and are always happy to take your order, and especially, have a friendly chat with you! I oftentimes come over to this location on my breaks from the Postal Annex to grab myself a nice refreshing smoothie! My favorite out of all the smoothies here is the PB&J smoothie, it is out of this world, it tastes like a peanut and jelly sandwich! read more

Nekter is great but ultimately minus one star (at least) for continually having expired product in their cleanses. They have some of the best smoothies and juice selections around. I'm excited that they opened this location in Bressi Ranch as I used to have to go to Encinitas to get my juice fix... Customer service at this location is good, smoothies, bowls and juices are fantastic! I would recommend trying out the entire menu and switching off between items until you find your favorite. Soooo many good options. Pros- Great location Drinks Bowls Menu Service Atmosphere Freshness Cons- Takes a while (freshness does take time to press) Can get busy Cleanses often have expired product Pricey read more

I loooove this place, mostly because I have a serious green smoothie and juice habit. I have a wonderful Blendtec, but it's a lot of work to juice with it (think cheesecloths and lots of straining). I'm too lazy to own and clean a juicer, making this place top-notch in my book. I juice because I like to eat fish, and juicing helps remove heavy metals and other toxins. It keeps my skin clear and provides a nice vitamin surge. They have cold-pressed juices in a cold case, and a nice menu of fresh pressed. There's also wheatgrass and ginger shots. If you don't want to drink, there's acai bowls and such. A huge plus is, that you are paying for ounces of juice, minus the ice. It is a peeve of mine that places will charge you for a cup that's all ice! You can purchase cleanses here, but honestly, if you eat clean, you don't need to detox so strictly. There's many clean recipes online. Now, if you are trying to jumpstart a clean program, this might be for you. You go all-in for 1-5 days, and it can be a great motivational tool- "I just spent $100 on juice, I'm not gonna let it go to waste. Time to eat better!" Be aware that with juice, you lose the fiber content that a smoothie (whole fruit/veggie) would have. With a lot of fruit, you are sending a sugar-shock through your veins. Choose accordingly. Pros: - fresh-pressed - open a bit late (7pm, lots of juiceries close in the afternoon) Cons: - expensive - can have a lot of sugar - heat can destroy the nutrient profile read more

This Nekter location is my favorite! The service is always friendly and fast. Make sure you download their app, you get free stuff and special promotions. The energy Cheyenne and her team exudes is what makes me want to come back every day! (Not to mention the juice! My go-to is the green apple detox with extra spinach and ginger!) read more

I got my Nekter fix yesterday, yiyea! :) Yesterday morning I was helped with sweet service! The girl working was super friendly, smiley, genuine, and fun. I was looking for a post-workout drink and considering to place an order of "Date Nut", and I asked her for advice and she gave me some good suggestions so I ended up ordering "Health Nut". HEALTH NUT: You can choose peanut butter or almond butter, with banana, housemade vanilla cashew milk, pea protein , and agave nectar. [I picked almond butter and added blueberries] While I was waiting for my drink she was talkative and outgoing which was cool and my drink came out in good time. One sip of it and I was hooked again (I'm always hooked on Nekter)! read more

Pre-ordered a custom smoothie on the app after a 5 mile run at the beach. App said I had a wrong zip code for the card but still charged me.
