Did you know that National Compliment Day is the same day as National Peanut Butter Day? That must mean Peanut Butter = Compliments! Clearly, math does not work that way, but compliments of Nekter, I got a reward for a $6 Small Peanut Butter Smoothie, valid that day only. I hadn't been to Nekter in so long now that prices have gone up and my very few Nekter points have already expired. However, I was planning a day trip to La Habra, and there just happened to be a Nekter there! This Nekter Juice Bar is located in Westridge Plaza on the southeast corner of Beach and Imperial. It's in a small L-shaped strip mall of eateries adjacent to Beach Blvd and directly across from Walmart. When I came in, I saw a female employee (Ariana?) sweeping the floor right next to a lounge area in the near corner of the shop. Already, I was starting to feel some cozy vibes and could tell it would make for a nice place to kick back and relax after a long day of shopping. Ariana greeted me and asked if I was here to pick up an order; I told her I wanted to redeem that reward on my account, so she went all the way around the pickup counter to take my order. I thought there would have been only one choice for the Peanut Butter Smoothie, but Ariana said there were actually four: Health Nut, PB Mocha, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and PB&J. The menu was posted closer to the front door, which I find odd, especially because a couple of customers had just come in at that point. Not wanting to be that one customer holding up the line, I just went with a childhood favorite: PB&J. Always good in sandwich form, but in a smoothie?! Let's find out! The wait was only three minutes before Ariana was finished with my smoothie, so it was a quick stop. During those three minutes, the two customers in front had gotten their order, which included a takeout bag, and left. I suspect they had an online order, hence why it was an even quicker stop for them. The peanut butter was on top, and the jelly was on the bottom. Since the small 16 oz cup was quite small, it was difficult mixing it together, especially with how thick the smoothie was. Not only that, I didn't taste much of the jelly inside the smoothie, so it was really more like a MPBANJ (Mostly Peanut Butter and Almost No Jelly) smoothie lol. That smoothie is normally $9.39, and I would have been a little unhappy paying $9.39 for a smoothie that didn't exude as much jelly flavor in spite of how much jelly there appeared to be at first. Nevertheless, it was a tasty and refreshing smoothie, but I wish I had gotten a different PB one instead. I certainly would have considered the PB Mocha, which contains coffee, but it was close to 5 PM when I visited, and I think coffee this late in the afternoon would have given me insomnia that night. Service was good from the two female employees inside the shop. They were pretty welcoming to me and the party of two who came in after me. However, Ariana missed an 'e' when entering my name at the register, so my name was Drek lol. That was really the only flaw I saw from her. Overall, not bad! If I were on a Nekter kick and lived in La Habra, I'd certainly make this my go-to location. Since there are a couple of other locations closer to me, I almost certainly won't return to this one, but if this location is closest to you, rest assured that you can get some nice and healthy smoothies here albeit at a rather high cost. read more

45 minutes for a açaí bowl and small smoothie. Wasn't even that busy around 6 people inside.

Ordered Nekter açaí bowl. Never received a spoon to eat the bowl. What do you expect me to use my fingers? Ridiculous cmon it's common sense to provide customers with proper utensils. Also the açaí bowl was run down by the time I got it. Wasn't fresh. Will not return to them nor will I recommend anyone to them. Horrible service. read more

On a hot summer day nothing compares to a cool and refreshing smoothie. The pink flamingo is my go to! It's so light and refreshing. They also offer protein smoothies, açaí bowls and juice cleanses although I haven't tried any of those so I can't speak on them. Employees were nice but also on the quiet side. Store was clean. read more

This place has delicious drinks! The line wasn't long at all and so the service was quick! The ambiance was very relaxing, it smelled good from all the drinks being made. The only issue was the parking situation read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Acai Bowls Near Me - La Habra, California

Highly recommend this place. They have so many options to choose from and top notch fruit! I really like how fresh they are too! We ordered through Uber eats and it arrived fresh! read more

I go to this place regularly because it's my only option when I'm short on time to make my own acai bowls. I'd go elsewhere if I had a choice and they just gave me more the reason to look elsewhere today. Their Functional Bowls are listed at $11.99. The clerk charged me $13.49 without any explanation. Either the clerk or the store is trying to pull a fast one on me. They will be hearing from my bank for this fraudulent behavior. Their food sucks and give very little fruit/granola. Again, I only come here because it's the only acai place nearby. And the service here is terrible, ran by entitled people with attitudes who aren't helpful. If anyone is listening out there, do just a bit better than Nektar around here and you have my business easily!!! I'll gladly overpay for a fruit bowl just to avoid this place. read more

I always go for the Dragon Fruit Bowl at Nékter Juice Bar, and it never disappoints. Dragon fruit is known for its numerous health benefits, including being rich in fiber, vitamin C, and B vitamins, making it a superfood choice. Nékter's dragon fruit bowl is a delightful blend of superfood dragon fruit, banana, pineapple, coconut flakes, and coconut water. It's not only delicious but also packs a nutritional punch. Topped with fresh strawberry and pineapple slices, hempseed granola, raw coconut flakes, and banana, it's very nutritious. Aside from the Dragon Fruit Bowl, Nékter's açaí bowls are also worth trying! read more

I visit Nektar about once a week and it's always a wonderful environment. The service is great and the ladies behind the counter are always so welcoming and super kind! They're pretty quick too, I never wait long at all. My usual order is a ginger shot and a green apple detox and they nail it every time! read more

COVID19: Open for business. Clean and friendly service. Just wish they had HONEY for my Acai. Guava syrup is nice. But, honey would be even better. Ingredients are fresh and they pack it in. Had an Açaí Mango to go with my daughter and it was delicious. In a busy shopping center with quite a few eateries. Parking can be packed (partly because of the gym a few doors down. If you park in a spot right in front of Nektar prepare to fight your way out. My suggestion...don't park right in front. Overall, it's hard to mess up Açaí. And this is a chain store that does it as well as most others. read more

I love, love, love Nekter... Just not the one in La Habra. Unfortunately, the customer service tha5 has become synonymous with the Nekter brand is lacking at the La Habra location. Additionally, I've used Yelp to check into every Nekter I've been to, to either leave a review or for the complimentary ginger shot. However, although it's clearly advertised on Yelp, the cashier was unfamiliar with the coupon (see attached photo). When she asked her coworker, a young man said we don't accept those. When I asked why, he was unable to provide a clear explanation and added that the location only used "the app." As a long time Nektar Customer I found his explanation ridiculous. Especially when every other Nektar I have EVER been to accepts the Yelp coupon. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Acai Bowls Near Me - La Habra, California

I have been to a Nektar a couple years ago to the Pasadena location. My girlfriend and I wanted a nice refreshing smoothie and acai bowl, so we decided to come here. However, I remember it being a lot better than what I tasted a week ago. Food: My acai mango bowl didn't have much flavor. It was refreshing, but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe the fruit wasn't sweet enough, but I would have liked more mango in the bowl. My girlfriend's pink flamingo smoothie was better tasting than mines. My acai bowl expectation is pretty high, so maybe that's why it didn't meet expectations. Ambiance: The inside is very appealing. There is a long bench to sit at and to enjoy yourself. I like how inviting it is! Overall, I don't recommend coming here for the acai bowls, but the smoothies are great and refreshing. read more

Great juice joint with high quality healthy products. I finally tried Nektar for the first time this week, and I'm so happy it's a chain because I loved my drink so much that I had to find the nearest shop to me, which is right here at the La Habra location. Last time I tried the Toxin Flush and today I tried the Green Apple Detox. Both juices were great and tasted super fresh and refreshing, but the Toxin Flush was a little sweeter so that's my favorite thus far. And I love how healthy and how good I felt about myself afterwards, especially considering how lately my drink of choice has been milk teas. The price is $6.25 for the small (16 oz), so it's a little more than what I'm used to spending on drinks but that's to be expected for good quality healthy options. Another point in Nektar's favor is that when you ask for ice, they give you your juice in the larger cup size and then add ice so that your drink is actually the 16 oz you paid for. I've never been to any other place that does this, so I was definitely impressed. Anyways, I would eventually like to try most of the drinks on offer. read more

On 1-20-24 @2:57pm. I go into the location, there was 1 customer inside with 2 employees working. Was greeted when i walked in ok. I waited by stop watch a full 5' minutes to get ANY help or further acknowledgement But all i received was a bit of attitude (we'll serve you when we serve you). This is place is good but Unusually expensive. There are other options. And before I walked out I told the female employee 'you waited too long (to address me). Need better service there for that kind of pricing.... read more

The acai bowl was very tasty. Better than jamba juice. But there were 2-3 people who ordered after us but got their orders before us. Place is also pretty pricey. Not really worth the price but good for occassional treats. read more

PSA: NEKTER HAS STOPPED GIVING FREE GINGER SHOTS W/ YELP CHECK-IN GUYS! Why? Because they figured out that it wouldn't go away after being redeemed. I returned because I was in the area and desperate for some Nekter in my life! I walked right in Saturday morning and was thrilled to see there was not a line. No, just several customers waiting for their orders. Clean as other Nekter locations? No way, the tables were sticky as heck. I ordered my usual strawberry banana smoothie and strawberry banana acai bowl. The bowl by itself deserves 5 stars! The smoothie tasted weird...just slightly off. I prefer other locations since I only get eh smoothies from here. The staff was alright this time around, but the girl was totally confused when I asked about their vegan ice cream. She acted like she had never heard of scoops before or couldn't tell me the prices. Eventually I was able to learn the flavors and get a sample of the blue one. Ohmygosh, it is SOOOOO GOOOOD. Hopefully this location gets more of the chocolate flavor in stock soon. read more

I'm not the best person on always being healthy organic, veggies or on top of my superfoods (Quinoa) but when it comes down to having something healthy and tastes amazing I'm all over that.

A few years ago my mother and I walked in here for a delicious bowl, but was presented with the most nasty customer service. As if the cashier didn't want to take our order. They weren't busy. Now, 3 years later, my aunt and I were passing through and stopped by. The girls didn't say anything nor offered service. One was busy. My aunt asked if we can make our order only to be hit with an ugly come back with 'I'm busy'. Nothing else. My love ones, including friends, nor I will ever visit this location, or even Nekter for that matter again. I hope this location moves or closes. Such negativity in my community should leave. read more

Walked in at 5:50pm to order a juice and was told the juicer was closed for the day at 5:30pm because the store closes at 6pm. Don't understand this concept. Then lock the doors at 5:30pm and have your staff stay and clean until 6pm, this way customers don't waste their time in going. read more

Shout out to this amazing team. I went in looking for a juice that had a lot of iron & didn't taste like metal. I was greeted with smiles & a lot of helpful suggestions.

Stopped into this location for the first time and my bowl was pretty good. The ingredients were fresh and my granola was placed on the side as I asked.

I love Nekter but these girls have horrible attitude. I understand not wanting to be at your job but ones that require you to interact with people with a simple hello or calling out my name when my order is ready isn't asking for a lot. My order was ready and they just expected me to know by staring at me. I left the place bothered cause it feels uncomfortable coming somewhere to just come in and out with a pick me up and you leave feeling yucky. read more

I've been a regular customer at Nekter for a year already, and I've always love going to this place for many reasons. It's better than Jamba Juice in my opinion. I got the Pumpkin Almond Bowl the other day, and ate it for breakfast this morning. It was so good! I recalled from last year when the Pumpkin Almond Bowl had starberries, raw pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, and I think the granola was regular. Now, the Pumpkin Almond Bowl is really different. It's more on cinnamon, red apples, raw pumpkin seeds, and different granola. For those who are planning on going to Nekter, the Pumpkin Almond Bowl only happens during Fall season. I haven't tried charcoal vanilla yet, hopefully I can get a taste of it soon! read more

I was really happy coming here for a long time, pretty much every day for about 6 months now. After today I will not be going back. I support businesses run by good people, and the "manager" was completely disrespectful. She would not give me her name of course, she must not be proud of her behavior. Short, blond with glasses and says she's a manager, anyway... She kicked me out immediately after I bought my drink because Instead of walking straight out, I was attempting to be helpful and suggest d some trending, healing herbs as additions to their menu to help set them apart. I was not promoting any products, or seeking any form of personal financial gain in anyway. Only sharing information that heals. This "manager" is a horrible representation of your company and her actions are not aligned with the movement of human beings coming together to share information that helps each heal through natural means. Isn't that that the whole point of a place like this? Re-evaluate your values, the only people that gain to benefit are you, your family, the people you work with and everyone that interacts with you. Your actions today displayed that if heartless capitalism: "You already bought your drink, we're done here. Stop talking to my employee and get out so we can have an extra 30 seconds of their productivity" I suggest you reflect on yourself, "manager" short blonde with glasses - whatever you're name is, I hope this message finds you and your boss. You just lost an every day, loyal customer. I wish you luck, and healing. You need it clearly. read more

Starting last week, the Health Nut drinks changed and now have unsweetened chocolate chips in them which slightly changes the texture of the smooth peanut butter, but you can always ask them to take it out.

Nekter Juice Bar was good but not great. I felt the customer service was bland at best & there were multiple women working at once. They seemed too busy talking & joking around amongst each other to deliver good service but like I said, it was bland & not necessarily bad. My husband & I being in the health & fitness industry love that there are more healthy options around now, but we do enjoy when places can make healthy taste amazing. We got a pitaya bowl, an acai bowl & a tropical green smoothie...they all tasted healthy in the sense that the average person would rather just eat bad. I love pitaya bowls but theirs was just okay. I can usually get them down quick because they taste so good but I had trouble wanting to finish mine. The same went for my husband & the smoothie we couldn't finish at all. It says there was fruit in the drink but it tasted like a garden. I'll give this place 3 stars. If my husband was dieting for a bodybuilding competition, it would be great. The ingredients are clean & didn't taste bad. If you're going for incredible tasting healthy food, then I'd try another option. I think more use of some natural sweeteners & other flavor profiles with what they offer could go a long way. read more

Go to some other Nékter juice bar. la habra location is nickel and dimming. An extra dollar for gluten-free granola but they won't credit you anything for doing without agave nectar Sorry Shannon while it's true that you make a great açai bowl it is not true that other nectar stores charge a dollar for gluten-free granola. Both nectar stores and Brea charge nothing extra for gluten free granola. read more

Stopped by here on my way to Brea. This Nekter is nothing like the ones I've gone too elsewhere. There is parking available but so bland doesn't entice you to want to hang out and enjoy your acai bowl or you're smoothie. It has a Jamba Juice feel to this place. However the banana berry acai bowl was consistent to to other places. Parking can be limited due to the surrounding businesses in this shopping center/ read more

I've been in here twice since my previous unhappy review and I'd glad to say that my thoughts have been turned around. The staff has been pretty great, albeit not over the top friendly (which is totally fine) but definitely not the opposite either. I've gone in the last 2 times on Friday afternoons at around 12:15 and one time it was busy, the other time it was dead. So I guess its just hit or miss. I still would think that this location is better than the Brea one, although I havent been to the Brea one in a long time so I dont know if they are still playing their loud shitty club music. This La Habra location plays music but its not overly loud so thats a plus. read more

******edit*****. Just so everyone knows what kind of manager is running this place. She didn't bother to contact me after I left her a voicemail with the number her employees gave me but after a left the review instead of taking to me about it like a grown up she sent me a message saying I never called her and I was only there 3 minutes (not true since my husband was able to walk over to the Hawaiian bbq got a soda and then walked in and I was still waiting). But she pretty much said it was my fault because she could tell by the video that I came in with a "negative energy". Wow. Just wow. I have posted her lovely email below. I really love how she is a doctor as well and pretty much thinks that everyone leaving a negative review is suffering from depression. *************Worse experience ever. I came in and was the only customer there. There were two girls in front. One asked me if I did an online order and I told her no, I need to order. She said someone will be right with you. I waited 10 while one girl made someone's order (who wasn't there) and then 3 to 4 people were I. The back chatting and goofing off. Finally I said I guess I will leave since no one is helping. I went back in and for a manager and got a shift lead. I told her what happened and she looked at me like how dare I a customer get upset that they rather have good time than actually work. Yeah I would too but at my job I would get fired. I asked for the owner's number and immediately called and left a message with what happened. After a week I am beginning to think the owner cares less than The employees. Never got a call. Lovely email: Yelp burst Hi Jennifer, You received a new message. Reply now. Subject: Your Review Nekter Juice Bar 3_half star rating 121 reviews Jennifer, We heard about this situation from my team last week for they called me right after you left. It was a very odd encounter which is why they brought it up and because it was so odd my manager and I went back and looked at cameras. Our cameras capture all angles along with voices for this is important as a business owner to have. You were in our store less than 3 minutes and what part of my team was doing in the back was working for we have a backroom full of action items that must get done. I did not receive a message from you or I would of called back. My card has my cell phone number on it, for my team knows if they get anyone is who is having a bad day, just give them my card. My managers card has the store phone number. Neither have messages from you. You came in the store with negative energy and It's always sad to see people spend days on this negative energy and then write negative reviews. People who write negative reviews are 85% likely to suffer from anxiety and depression, so I am very mindful of this. While we are lucky that Yelp doesn't hurt or help our business, for other business it can make a difference. With 10 years of experience we don't allow yelp to effect our happiness, so we don't take it personally, yet directly. Yelp reviews tell a story and they tell a lot about someone. People assume and tell themselves stories that simply aren't true. You were telling yourself something that day and projected that when you came in our store for we see it on the cameras. We have a amazing group of college kids. While we are all human and make mistakes, this one was not on us. This one is on you. We wish you the best and hope this negative experience that you created doesn't allow it to get in the way of your happiness. Shannon Reply on Yelp for a more convenient hiring experience.
