    Signs on the wall
    Derek W.

    I rarely give second chances to businesses that I give 1 star to, but after visiting two different Nekter Juice Bars last year in the Lone Star State, I felt I had to give this location a second chance when all the stars aligned late last year. I was in the area and wanted to stop by 2nd and PCH to see how things changed since the last time I was there. I was originally planning to go to the Traffic Circle location, but suddenly remembered there was this location on the other side of PCH. I'm a part of Nekter's rewards program, and I got an email saying that my points would have expired real soon. I had just enough points to redeem a $3 small smoothie. The small smoothie is 16 oz, and if I wanted to get it for free, I would have had to spend just as many dollars plus twice as many cents to do so. I'm not going to do that just for $3 savings, so I chose to get my $3 smoothie here. When I arrived on Friday after lunch, there were a couple of girls in line, who were having quite the conversation with the cashier. Luckily, I didn't have to wait that long, and it did give me additional time to decide which smoothie I wanted. When it was my turn to order, the cashier greeted me, and I asked if there was any smoothie that I couldn't get using my reward. She simply mentioned that as long as it was offered in the "Small" size, it would work. I asked about Coffee Kickstart since it was early afternoon, a time when I start to feel drowsy and need that extra kick of caffeine to get me through the day. At first, the cashier said she'd only recommend it for the flavor, and then I was trying to look for other options that would give me that boost I needed. She eventually said that the Coffee Kickstart would be a good choice for that, and so I chose the Coffee Kickstart. Understandably, they did not have the Aloha Smoothie on their menu, but I'm sure if I asked, they would have been as confused as you are if you are still reading this review. She then asked me if I wanted whey or pea protein. Whey is a dairy base, but pea is vegan. As much as I love saying "no way!", I had to say "yes way" to whey lol. It took a few minutes for her to prepare my drink with a glove in one hand, but not the other. After I got my drink, I grabbed a straw from the pickup counter and headed back to my car. While the Coffee Kickstart did give me that boost to get me through the rest of that afternoon, I was disappointed that it didn't have the consistency of a smoothie until I reached the bottom half of the cup. The first half was pretty watered down, and it felt like I was drinking a regular iced coffee. However, it tasted more like a smoothie afterwards, but too little too late I guess. I had just finished the smoothie by the time I got back home. Was the smoothie bad? No, but it's not something I would get again, even if I were looking for that extra caffeine kick. I probably should have gone with the Health Nut or the PB Mocha instead, but even so, with how watered down my drinks have been from here, who knows how watery those other protein smoothies would be? My experience here was definitely better than 1 star, so I'll give 1 more star to my original rating, but that's it, unfortunately. Unless all the *other* stars magically align again, I probably won't be back here, especially since it's in an area I'm not in frequently, and I *still* don't see a Yelp check-in offer.

    Some of the stores closed in this center. So I wonder to nektar to get a refresher. The lady was very helpful, I never being to nektar (that I can remember tbh, sometimes my friends take me to their favorite spot and I am distracted by the fun we are having). She gave me suggestions since I am not a cashew milk person. Very nice and detail. The place looked very clean, has Mario Bros everywhere and I went a bit crazy, lol.

    Happy hour

    The acai is so refreshing on a hott day! I ordered the pb j bowl and i highly recommend for all the pb lovers out there! Add bananas to this bowl to make it super perfect tho it already is. Also, got dragonfruit acai which is tropical with Strawberries banana pineapple and coconut Also, highly recommend the pink flamingo for all the dragonfruit lovers! The buzz juice is yummy to keep u energized it contains Carrot orange lemon and ginger! Congrats nekter for your grand opening! Parking is plenty, staff is helpful inside is clean and u can opt to eat outdoors if u like. IG @haangrykitty

    The service was pretty friendly, nothing over the top. The smoothies themselves are actually very delicious. I have tried both the berry one and the mango. Both tasty. I will say the pricing is definitely high. $10.00 for a regular sized smoothie is crazy. However, everything is so pricey nowadays. The lobby itself is pretty spacious and at the time of me walking in very clean.

    Berry Banana Burst Smoothie Strawberry, banana, blueberry, house made cashew milk, and agave nectar. I loved the color of this and smoothies are super refreshing on a hot day. I would've preferred more sweetness as it was actually kinda bland. Dragon Fruit Bowl Dragon fruit, banana, pineapple, coconut flakes, and coconut water blended as the base and topped with hempseed granola, coconut flakes, strawberry, banana, and pineapple. I LOVE smoothie bowls so I definitely loved this one. It had a good amount of topping-to-base ratio. They did just have their grand opening not too long ago so hopefully it was just an off day for the smoothie. I would probably go back to other locations if I'm nearby though!

    Soooo good we didn't get a chance to take a picture of it when it was full. We will next time.

    I hate those smoothies that are too chunky or too sweet. This was a perfectly balanced and well rounded smoothie! Here's why: WHAT WE ORDERED Mango Delight Smoothie: * As my boyfriend describes it, "Tastes like an actual mango but without the inconvenience of the mango fibers or strands in between my teeth." It's naturally sweet but it's satiating rather than the type of sweetness that induces hunger later on. Regular size costs $9.50, or 10.20 after tax (I think), so that's the only downside. But it's arguably worth it for the quality. Agave Compostable Straws: * Ok this is such an awesome little perk! I was curious about their straws being bumpy inside but it's because they're made from agave and they're compostable. How cool?? I even asked where I can get them online for myself at home and the manager or owner gave me some for free!! How amazingly sweet? I'm 100% coming back now; their generosity is unmatched. Overall, it's tasty and we're coming back for another. For the price we probably won't come back daily, but still worth coming here occasionally. ***UPDATE*** Response to owner: Thank you for letting me know!! I'll definitely download it then. Also thank you guys for being so kind and generous about everything!

    I always order the Almond Butter Health Nut smoothie ($12), the Greenie juice ($10), or The Pink Flamingo ($10) depending on my mood. It would be usually after a Pilates or boot camp class, I'd succumb to ordering from here to either flush myself out or to drink something as a quick meal replacement. I haven't had the bowls, but I'm sure they're good. Service can take a minute sometimes. Some people do mobile orders. Parking is free.

I love trying unique snack and beverage brands and Lazy Acres always has something new for me to explore. I also enjoy their high quality meat selection. I never question if I'm getting the best. Highly recommend exploring this spot when you get a chance. Warning, it's an expensive addiction.

It was noticeably less pink and vibrant than expected, and the flavor was so faint that it was almost tasteless. If that had been my first experience with the smoothie, I probably wouldn't have ordered it again. Based on that visit alone, I'd give it 1.5 stars at best. The Irvine location, however, was a completely different story. The Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie was rich, flavorful, fresh-tasting, and beautifully vibrant in color. It was so good that after my first sip, I turned around before even getting back to my car and bought a second smoothie--the Mint Chocolate Chip. A few days later, I came back again. That's how impressed I was. The contrast between the two locations was shocking. The Irvine team clearly knows how to make these smoothies consistently and with the right balance of ingredients. After my Long Beach experience, I honestly wouldn't dare order the Strawberry Shortcake again without modifications or asking extra questions about how it's prepared. But at Irvine, I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Same smoothie, same company, completely different experience.
