Terrible service. Walked in and the employees look miserable. No greeting, nothing. Me and one other person was waiting for our order to be taken while the employee restocked. That can be done AFTER orders are taken. I ordered the Acai Superfood, no banana at all, and the employee put in the Acai Banana Berry. I looked at my receipt and told him I ordered the Acai Superfood, not the Acai Banana Berry... "that a price difference but I'll make it" OK? I ordered the Acai Superfood from the jump so it's not my fault I wasn't charged accordingly?? I truly love Nektar but this will probably be my last time at THIS location. read more

I love their juices and smoothies, but this was the first time trying a wellness shot. As a rewards member I received a complimentary one for my birthday gift. I chose the turmeric apple. The cashier was friendly and pleasant. My shot came up at the counter fairly quickly. She asked if I wanted cayenne or black pepper with it, and though I know that's a healthy way to drink it, I passed on those spices. The shot was delicious, chilled, with a little sweetness from the apple and a little of the bitterness from the turmeric. I felt my body warming immediately! Really a nice little morning boost. read more

Okay so I'm here again ans my first review I gave them a one star for terrible customer service and terrible drinks as well. This was four YEARS ago, the owner said to give them another chance so here I am. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and they've succeeded (they deserve a 3). The ambiance was busy, they have a lot of people coming in and taking out orders but not really sitting inside to drink their smoothies or juices or eat their bowls there. We sat inside and finished our protein bowl with vanilla whey protein and it was delicious. The service was good nothing amazing, I used the restroom but they should have a sign that says "no code needed" since I was standing there until they looked at me and said "you don't need a code." And well, I felt dumb. But how was I supposed to know? There were only two employees and for how busy it is I feel three employees would be ideal. One at the register, cleaning organizing and the other two making bowls and drinks. Ever since I've come here they seem to be short staffed maybe they don't make as much money to pay employees. read more

Fast efficient delicious drinks. Chill atmosphere with nice customer service. Great go to spot for immunity shots and cold pressed drinks.

Please put orange crush back on your smoothie menu. You have it in a mini with the waffles but not on the regular menu. When I spoke to one employee in the past week, they informed me it was taken off a while back because of no oranges....or no orange juice? This employee was very nice! But the employee I just spoke to yesterday said that you have nothing to do the app/website. (She was very short with me and cutting me off when I was being very friendly.) Anyway, would love to order more from you but would love for it to be where I can order it and just pick it up. Thanks! read more

Should have a sign that they don't take larger bills, what if I'm that someone who doesn't have a debt or credit card and that's all I have, won't take my money cuz it's to large , So what happens my order is $5$ and all I have is $50 , been here plenty of times and never been told that . So here's a review. read more

Really disappointed with the lack of flavor of the açaí. It tasted water down. The fruit on the bowl was fresh. Blueberries and bananas were the only positive part of the bowl. They were not busy, they weren't rushed. We were the only ones in the place. After paying $25 for two flavorless açaí bowls I will not be back. read more

I've been going to Nekter for years. Every time I go to Nekter I usually order the berry bowl without bananas. I'm not a huge fan of bananas. Nektar usually blend their açaí base with bananas. I had mine blended with just the berries. I think that option caused the base to be very thin and watery. I was not thrilled with my order but since I opted out of the banana base they may have caused the bowl to be more on the soupy side. I must say the fruit is always so fresh at nektar. The service and ambiance is always great when I visit nektar. The place is always clean and the to-go food and drinks are always organized. I will definitely continue to visit nektar even though I recently found other locations (not nektar) that were closer to me to purchase my açaí bowls. read more

I have tried other locations in the past and always ordered the orange crush it was pretty good, the service was quick

I always say: "if it's free, it's for me"! ;-) I've had my eye on this place and the Pumpkin Smoothie for a little while now. {I need all the pumpkin things this time of year}! I decided to do a google search to see if any coupons were and available. To my surprise, I found that if you download the app (as a first timer) you get a FREE 16oz smoothie. Score!! So that I did... It didn't take too long to make my drink (I asked as I had an appointment to be at). I really enjoyed it! Very tasty. It was nicely blended and smooth. A good pumpkin taste. Light and not too "spice-y". I would definitely come back but I'm not sure how often that will be as $7.55 for a 16oz. drink is a bit steep for me. If I can find another coupon I'd be more likely to visit. read more

Manager refunded my money. Apparently they did have spoons but they didn't know where they were.

Came here 20 minutes before closing, and literally as we step foot in the door "are you ready to order?" I said no I need a minute. We finally order our bowls, and once we received them we sat down inside to eat them. The same girl who took our order said "we close in 10 minutes so can you..." and before she can finish her sentence her coworker behind her shook her head and took over and said "so we're just letting you know". Like what she about to ask us to leave? Not even a second after that someone else walked in to order and they told her they're closed for the night. If you close at 8 you serve till 8. It's your job to serve and clean up after closing if someone comes in. Just thought that was unprofessional and kinda of awkward. One of their friends was also sitting in there and they didn't say anything to him. But heaven forbid paying customers eat their food there. Smh read more

They have an interesting drink selections. I got the pink flamingo. I taste mostly pineapple juice and this interesting taste afterward that I think is from coconut water. They have a Kirby special. Service was good. Drinks makes me feel more healthier or energetic. I'd probably get an acai bowl next time. read more

I tried this place out because a friend kept recommending it. He was not wrong at all lol. They have so many different options to choose from and in my opinion it taste better then Jamba Juice. They get your order to you pretty fast, and their rewards program offers a free drink after your first purchase which is really nice. Some of the bowls are hit or miss and that just depends on who is making it. Definitely give this place a try. read more

After seeing some of my health numbers deteriorate during this pandemic, I realized I needed to make some changes to my eating habits. While brainstorming ways to do that, I had suddenly remembered seeing a Yelp friend post a review of a Nekter Juice Bar where she was encouraged to download the app and register for their rewards program to earn a free 16 oz drink/smoothie. Knowing that there was a Nekter in Long Beach by the traffic circle, I decided to check it out for myself. After browsing Nekter's website www.nekterjuicebar.com, I noticed that was indeed true. If I provided my email address and downloaded their app, I could earn a reward for a free 16 oz drink/smoothie as a welcome to the Nekter family! I could have redeemed the reward anytime within the next two weeks, but I chose to use it the same day. As previously mentioned, Nekter in Long Beach is located by the traffic circle. It's in the same plaza as Chipotle, Halal Guys, Vons, Planet Fitness, Baskin Robbins, and a few others, so parking definitely shouldn't be an issue. I arrived on a Saturday late afternoon at the same time as another customer. We were the only two customers inside at the time, and since I needed time to look at the menu, I let the other customer order first. As I looked at the menu, I saw that the Functional Smoothies were 50 cents more than Superfood Smoothies and the Fresh Juices. Because my health numbers were getting worse, the Health Nut, a Functional Smoothie, caught my eye. I asked the cashier if the 16 oz free drink/smoothie could be a Functional Smoothie, and she answered affirmatively. I also asked if I could redeem the Yelp check-in offer of a free ginger wellness shot. However, she did not think both could be done in the same transaction, so I just settled for the Health Nut smoothie, which consists of peanut butter, banana, dates, housemade cashew milk, vanilla protein, and agave nectar. You can substitute the peanut butter for almond butter for $1 more, but I stuck with peanut butter. Next, the cashier asked if I wanted Vanilla Whey Protein or Vanilla Pea Protein. I wasn't familiar with these proteins, but she did mention that pea protein was plant-based, so I went with that. The wait wasn't too long. Maybe about 3-5 minutes I'd say? And that was with the first customer ordering a bowl and another drink; the staff member who handed him his order also offered a paper bag. When I got my smoothie, I thought it looked like a milkshake, but it sure didn't taste like one! I wasn't exactly a fan of how it tasted. The smoothie was incredibly thick, and the straw was pretty thin, so you can imagine how much I struggled with each sip! It was easier to drink as the smoothie got warmer, but I left it in my fridge for the next three days. In addition, I could taste the individual dates, which I'm not sure if I was supposed to? Overall, my taste buds thought the Health Nut was "just alright." On my next visit, I ordered a Cold Brew Protein, another Functional Smoothie, and I liked that one better than the Health Nut. A Cold Brew Protein smoothie consists of cold brew coffee, banana, vanilla protein, housemade cashew milk, and agave nectar. I don't remember how my mood was around the time I ordered that smoothie, but I remember that with every sip I took, I felt better knowing that I was drinking something that was good for my body. If you've been used to milkshakes, milk tea, and other drinks that may have a ton of sugar, you'll notice the taste difference because the drinks at Nekter are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients that are necessary for your body to function properly. Anyways, I almost gave Nekter 3 stars, but I liked the Cold Brew Protein well enough to give it the 4th star. On that same visit, I had a reward for a free wellness shot, and I chose elderberry. The elderberry shot came in a small cup, but I needed two gulps to finish it. It sure packed a punch, and it sure came in handy at a time when I was feeling kind of drowsy and needed that extra jolt to get me through the afternoon. Nekter might not have the best tasting drinks, but at least they are healthier than In-N-Out milkshakes! It's good to know that there's an option for healthy drinks and bowls, and I could get points for every purchase I make! However, the drinks seem pretty pricey for the size, and I don't want to fall into the habit of being too healthy. Or a better way to put it, I don't want to splurge too much on the drinks not knowing how much of a benefit it will really have on my health. Only time will tell I guess! read more

FIRST OF ALL, I'm only putting 1 Star because I have to put something OR ELSE they'd get nothing. I've frequented this Nektar many times and have always had a good experience/service. TODAY on the other hand was TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!! I visited this location earlier in the day with my family and my card was left behind in the card machine. Once it dawned on me I lost my card I called them, they told me they had it so I was able to pick it up. By end of day, I was checking my account and noticed FOUR CHARGES to my account from them that were not my doing. When I called to inquire about this I was told by an employee that they would call the owner and we could talk when I got there. When I arrived I was told by the employee that they do not have access to refund and that the owner said to give them copies of my bank statements via email so she could review it. Absolutely NOT! Mind you, one of the FOUR charges which was the last charge was refunded, prolly when they realized the card was still in the machine. But if you can't refund, why was I refunded already for one charge. When I requested to speak with the owner, she was called by one of the employees on her cell. When I explained everything, she told me I was responsible for my card and when I expressed my card was wrongfully charged and I am absolutely not responsible for that, she then said, well my product was used/taken by someone else (since someone still received an item) even though the charges were fraudulent and I expressed my frustration about this however she went on to say, she's a small business owner, so basically she was not going to refund me for the fraudulent charges. Sadly, the employee that was speaking to me (good customer service on her part) expressed to my husband that If we were given anything most likely it would be store credit BUT then they would end up having that taken from their checks. I ended up just hanging up. The owner has TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and I will make sure to spread the word to those I know (many work and live in the area) DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BUSINESS. EXTREMELY HORRIBLE BUSINESS OWNER. read more

I love getting their smoothies. They are filling and always delicious. I recommend trying a variety as all are amazing!

I live nearby so I frequent this shopping plaza often and I thought I'd try Nekter today since it was hot. I was craving an Açaí bowl and ordered the one with banana and berries and it was $10. I thought it was okay, portion was good but it didn't really taste sweet. I prefer Berry Brand and Blue Bowl more for açaí bowls. They also make juices and smoothies as well. read more

I've been coming to this place for a very long time and always get my usual drink. Elderberry smoothie and a side of ginger shot. Today was different, the drink had a different taste. I ask the girl at the counter if they changed something with the drink because it didn't taste the same. She replied "No, whoever made it before probably didn't know how to make it. I ask her if she can remake it, her answer was NO, i made it right. I ask to speak to a manager she said no manager or supervisor was on site. I ask for a refund she said I couldn't get one. I ask the other employees of they could do something about it. The answer was I don't get paid enough to to tell her what to do. I told them she has bad customer service and the she agreed and said I don't give a F$*^k. Horrible experience. Never coming back again. Make sure this girl never makes your drink. read more

I hate when an employee knows they made a mistake and still give the item done wrong. I asked for the strawberry banana protein smoothie. It's suppose to have the chia jam at the bottom. She gives it to me with out it. When we asked doesn't it suppose to have it she said yeah but I forgot to put it in. Ummmmm what? Lol then we asked for the chia jam on the side so I can at least put it in a cup at home and she gives me that little container with what I know isn't a chia jam. That's annoying. Maybe she thought we didn't know what we were even ordering but we did. And we even gave a tip .. which I now regret. What sucks even most was that this was a treat yo self purchase. SMH. Someone tell me if that's chia jam though. read more

I went to this place a couple of weeks ago, I was actually doing laundry at the nearby laundry mat and decided to come here with my fiancée while we waited for our clothes to finish in the dryer. We ordered an açaí bowl and a smoothie. While waiting we had an encountered with a drunken man who was claiming to be God and questioning why I "hated men" despite me never even uttering a word...his comment was due to the fact that we are two women in a relationship. My fiancée felt so uncomfortable, and the staff called the owners to come out, they did and they kicked the guy out of the establishment, they apologize for the whole thing (eventhough it was not their fault). I do appreciate their quick action and them making sure we were ok. This is why I love Long Beach, there is always people ready to step up for others in situations like this one. All in all, the açaí bowl was pretty delicious, the smoothie however does need a little more flavor as it seems like there was too much ice in it and watered down the flavor. I would still come back to this place, to try more of their products. read more

So I brought my dad here today for Veterans Day for him to try smoothie . I know it's a freebie for him but I also did purchase a smoothie for myself . The customer service here was not pleasant at all it's as if they didn't want give the smoothie to him even though the website says the offer it for the Vets . I was in disbelief how they treated him . One of the ladies even got on the phone to call and make sure all he have to show was ID and then made a comment to the other lady that was making the smoothie if all that was for us because it looked like too much. She wasn't aware I purchased one as well she went back to double check . I think it will be hard to comeback after this although I love their smoothies and ambiance usually . I did not like the attitude and disrespect my father got here today . I really hope they work on their customer service and treat everyone with respect whether they are paying or not . read more

Hannah is the sweetest!!! I never had Nekter before. When we came to the store, she was dealing with an extra rude customer (the customer even got cranky with us, yeahhh lol). Hannah was fantastic!! She was very professional, yet it was one of the customers that even if you are breathing they are mad. She was fantastic!!!! Then she helped us, as if nothing happened!!! Excellent representation on how to deal with a difficult individual and keep your cool. The store was very clean, all the ladies were working together well. My friend got a juice, I gotta a smoothie drink, and a complimentary ginger shot for my yelp check in. Highly recommended!!! read more

This is moreso about the app. I've never had an issue with anyone who works there (attitude). I can only imagine if they were rude it's because they're stressed out. If you're coming here in the morning, expect to wait 30min for your smoothie even if you're ordering it online. I was told my smoothie would take another 5 min and it ended up being another 15 and I had to remind them of my order. I don't mind wait it but I have to work. Please change the estimated wait times for certain times of the day. All could be resolved if we had more accurate wait times by giving the workers a little more wiggle room...or maybe hiring more staff. Additionally, there were snacks that I ordered that were not in the store. One of the workers just told me to get something else at no charge, which is nice, but I preferred to get what I ordered since it's the only thing I could eat due to several allergies. I gave it to my friend so it's not so bad. read more

Nekter is one of my go-to favorite places for fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and even healthy ice cream. I was so happy when this location opened as it is more convenient to places I frequent. I have been here several times, even on grand opening day and whatever I order is always good. The only thing is the wait time here, especially when there are no other customers is quite long. Either order ahead or expect a longer wait on most items. Good news is everyone working there is friendly. Luckily there is plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

I called nektar and they were unfortunately out of the amazing pumpkin spiced apple turmeric bowl. The girl who helped me patiently walked me through a new order, giving recommendations and suggestions to build a bowl as I am very allergic to bananas. She went way above and beyond, creating a ridiculously delicious concoction and even sending it along with a smiley face and a little extra including granola. I didn't catch her name but she's a fantastic employee and just gained the owner a loyal Nektar fanatic for this location. Yes, the ingredients are always fresh here and everything is always delicious but THIS was service. Thank you Nektar! read more

Feeling juicy? Recently, I've been getting into a green juice kick. The energy & vitality I feel after consuming it makes my body feel great and I try to have green juice most of the week. Mainly going to 7-Elevens for their bottled 100% organic cold-pressed green juice, my eyes spied the Grand Opening of Nekter Juice Bar LB Traffic Circle. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nekter-juice-bar-long-beach-5?select=yRAb0M1y5_wwJcHtCUj61A According to the event page- - FREE Nekter swag bags for the first 50 guests! - Only $1 sixteen ounce freshly made juices & smoothies* - Only $30 discounted price for ANY 1-day cleanse pack** - Samples, entertainment, giveaways and more! *Limit one per person, does not cover add-ons **While supplies last On a rainy SoCal day, I schlepped through the precipitation to secure my spot as #11 in line. Gotta get dat schwag bag, baby! While waiting, a DJ was setup for our listening pleasure, and I was the only one dancing the "cupid shuffle" when he played it. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nekter-juice-bar-long-beach-5?select=92NcE778Y2-ThbbER5-X1Q I thought Nekter's promotion was $1 for any freshly made juice or smoothie on their menu, and I had my mind made up on their signature drink, "the greenie". Unbeknownst to me, the promo was valid only for certain drinks. I asked which juice had the least amount of sugar, and was told "the buzz". So that's what I got. The Buzz https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nekter-juice-bar-long-beach-5?select=GmTkcOh9QzS2kQ1yMegtmw Carrot, orange, lemon & ginger. With the first sip, I felt the heat from the ginger coming through, immediately. Refreshingly good, the drink wasn't too sweet, and all the vitamin A & C boosted my immune system and armored me up for when I'm around sick people. Service was good. I only waited a few minutes for my drink to be ready, even with the amount of customers passing through. Only a few tables available for seating, Nekter is more a grab & go place. Parking is via a private lot. Here's to your health! Nekter Juice Bar is a great, convenient option for some killer fresh juice & smoothies. Besides that, kombucha, acai bowls & cashew milk ice cream diversify the options to appeal to almost everyone. I enjoyed my very first Nekter drink & am looking forward to having their signature "greenie" drink in the future.
