I'm a fan of the Nekter Juice Bars and really enjoy going to the one in Redondo Beach every time I am in the area (which is about once a month). The store is clean and inviting, the staff is wonderful, and the bowls and juices are fresh and delicious. I love taking my bowls and juices to the beach nearby to enjoy them. read more

Atmosphere - Clean, lots of parking, indoor seating available Taste - Ordered the Protein Power Bowl. Substituted banana for pineapple. Asked for a remake as there was too much banana in the base. Portions are VERY small. Price - Above average for the portion size. Love Nektar but not with the price this time. Will try another location. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - 05/28/26 Protein Power - Half full!?! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I order from Nekter occasionally and the thing with this place is the service us extremely slow, even when it's not busy. A handful of times I've placed orders about a. Half hour ahead of time for pickup through the app, and when I show up, they still haven't made my order even when there is clearly no one else waiting on an order when I arrive. I usually give it a low rating on the app, then receive an automatic "we're sorry" email from the owner (Whose name is Nicole apparently?) stating they'll "follow up with (you) soon" but they NEVER do I've even responded back to the email multiple times asking them if they just don't follow up. Lol. Even when I go into the store to place an order on the spot, they're very slow with orders. Do not expect to get an order on time if you're in a rush. The store is usually understaffed, and the workers seem stressed a lot and don't tend to greet you most of the time. Also, today (August 4th) I ordered one of their bowls and asked twice for no cacao nibs on it because I can't eat them due to a medical related situation. I asked twice because I had this weird feeling the girl wasn't listening to me taking my order, even though she said "ok" when I reiterated it again to make sure those were taken off. Sure enough, when I got my bowl, there were cacao nibs on it and I had to get it remade. read more

The açaí bowl itself was pretty good , i enjoyed the granola and agave on top! the ingredients were well balanced. unfortunately the juice we got was a little watered down. i feel bad because it's just one staff member who has to make and clean eveyrthing so it took a really long time for the order. The store itself looked pretty clean to me , there's a few tables to sit at. read more

I really wanted to like this place and come here from time to time because the açaí bowls are good and the staff is friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately the overall experience today was disappointing. They seem very short-staffed, which may be part of the issue, but the prep area did not look clean or organized. I noticed dirty equipment and an unorganized workspace, which is concerning for a place that serves fresh juices. What bothered me most was seeing fruits and vegetables go straight into the juicer without being properly rinsed. Cleanliness is extremely important, especially for food and drinks that are supposed to be healthy. With better organization, proper cleaning, and enough staff, this place could be much better. read more

I want to love this place because it is local but have they ever cleaned the floors or tables? Came in on a Sunday morning for an Acai bowl that was completely liquid and essentially just a very large smoothie. But whatever, still tasted good. Family and I tried to find a place to sit and there's literally food, banana peels and straw sleeves all over the floor. It is gross. SO SAD to see this place under such poor management. When you look around at the state of this place it totally makes you think they must not be cleaning the back quite well either. And like, what are they even serving us then?! I would love to see this place revived to be a local trusted smoothie spot. But until then, avoid this place! read more

The açaí bowl was to water down didn't had no flavor the fruit was just 3 pieces of strawberry they took forever to do my order they need to teach workers how a açaí bowl is made They are stingy with the fruit if they don't have the fruit they will add whatever they want I'm so mad !!! read more

I keep coming here thinking something will change but seems like there is no urgency and lack of training. I would recommend the store check the online app and make sure the items being offered on the app are also offered in house as there seems to be a lot of confusion. I understand times could be tough but hiring more staff seems like it would benefit this location. Numerous times I have only seen one employee and they are visibly stressed. It will be a long while, if at all, when I will return. That's unfortunate as my job is across the street and recommending it could bring a lot of business. This just reminds me why we DoorDash from a different establishment in Torrance (BobaTime)... and don't mind the extra fees... we have never been disappointed. read more

Nekter is one of my favorite spots for a good acai bowl but this location is not it. Their hours say they are open until 7:30pm but I've shown up around 6:45-6:50pm and they're already cleaning up. Sometimes no one is even at the register! The most recent time the girl working there said they could only make smoothies. Why say you're open until 7:30pm when you really aren't? The Torrance location is way better and actually makes consistently good acai bowls until they close. Avoid this location unless you want to leave disappointed. read more

Wanted to get something small after my workout class, and I saw Nekter in the same plaza. It seems like this setting is for you to grab and go. There isn't too many tables to sit down. We got Acai banana berry and mango acai bowls. Those were so good!! Tip: if you download the app, you can receive a smoothie or bowl for free on your next purchase. read more

The few times that I have been to this Nektar have always been good in terms of quality and service. My go to order is always the Açaí PB as I love PB. It always hit those cravings I had. The location is always nice and clean. If you like Açaí Bowls and PB, you need to try their PB bowls. Delicious! read more

Was a little apprehensive to try this spot, after reading the many negative reviews for this location. Came on a weekday around 3pm which wasn't too busy (though there were quite a few pick ups). The customer service could be a little more welcoming. Buuuuuut was pleasantly surprised with the açaí bowl! The bowl itself came out pretty fast (within 5 mins) and tasted refreshing. Would come back and want to try their smoothies. read more

bad for the girls because they were highly understaffed. You could see the stress in their face and how backed up they were and not because they weren't working hard. I waited 20 minutes for one smoothie when there was only one person in front of me. When I got my smoothie and got in the car and handed it to my daughter, I realized it was completely already watery. It was never made like a smoothie. It looked like a juice. When I tasted it, it tasted like water and banana only but was the color purple it was completely disgusting, but I did not have time at that point to go back and ask for a refund. I just took the video for this review and threw it in the trashafter she tasted a little bit. I would never return. read more

Ady, the owner/manager, is absolutely amazing! She truly pays attention to every detail and makes you feel so welcomed the moment you walk in. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for customers set the standard for how a business should be run. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and exceeded all expectations. The entire team and staff were also very warm and friendly this is by far the best location! I'll definitely be returning as always. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Don't believe their offer of a free smoothie for signing up for their app. Ordered a drink on line and received no receipt. Sent them receipt and they said they couldn't process it because it was from a location in Carmel valley. They take no responsibility for their incompetence of charging me for purchase from closed location. Further after purchasing Buzz several times they are now watering it down. After sitting for a few minutes it separates. Don't go to this awful establishment. read more

Highly recommend us please for a quick fix, I love grabbing a juice or an açai bowl! Honestly, I prefer this location over the Torrance location. All of the workers are so nice and greet you right when you walk in. I think their juices are the best and fairly priced! read more

Smoothies were room temp and watery...not made with love at all. Sucks to spend $40 on splurge drinks you and the family are craving! The guy's service was mediocre, he did his job, he greeted half hearted and made terrible smoothies. read more

OMG This nekter is a disgrace flies everywhere the two poor girls looked overwhelmed. This place is filthy nothing cleaned. im surprised being in this area. The trash hole is dirty and thats where your drinks sit until you grab them so any drinks that are there ,gets flies all over them. Clean this nasty ass place. The door, floor, seats, counter..ugh!!!! I have never seen a nekter look this way. read more

Gen Z tuning the show with zero social skills and no customer service training. Stood at the counter for a full seven minutes and the two girls behind the counter refused to make eye contact or greet me. Their manager is to blame for not giving them specific scripts to follow. Teach them what to say when people walk in and are waiting. I left after ten minutes of waiting. read more

Excellent service, delicious & nutritious juice, they support veterans. What else could you want? Excellent location to stop when I visit my vet. The pawrents are huge fans. Go get your juice, your body will thank you. 5 solid bones. Woof! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Recovery juice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

My daughters came in 6/22 for two drinks. They let me know 3 people who came in after them, had their drinks done. Another customer who came in much later got their drinks done before them. These subtle racist digs are not ok. I do not know why the store thinks it would be ok to do that. Those customers did not pre order. My daughters are two young Hispanic ladies. Store probably thought we wouldn't say anything. There really is no reason whatsoever to have this happen. Not a way to run a business. Disappointed in this location. Treat all your customers fair. read more

Went to this location and ordered a drink after yoga class Saturday morning. They forgot about making our drink and we asked to see if it was made yet after 15 minutes. We didn't mind and said it's okay and waited patiently. They said it'll take a second and then when we got the drink the maker said HERE with a disgusted and rude face. Usually don't post reviews like this but thought it was odd of them to act that way when we were kind. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I have ordered both the pink flamingo and mango delight smoothies on multiple occasions, and absolutely loved them. However, this time when I ordered two regular pink flamingo's and one mini mango delight, they were both downright terrible. Every one of them had a horrible aftertaste, like rotten milk and fruit. So, me and my friend went back in to ask to have them remade. While the worker was polite and did remake them, they were no better than before. They all still had a odd aftertaste and tasted flavorless. On top of that the mango delight smoothie was the consistency of water, not a smoothie, and both of the pink flamingos were not even close to being filled to the top. The fact I paid almost $30 for these horrible smoothies truly infuriates me. I am usually a regular customer after my workouts, as I love their smoothies so much, however, I don't think I will ever visit this location EVER again. read more

As someone who loves açaí, I wish this place was better run and better taken care of! The customer service was really inattentive, with me standing at the front counter for about 5 mins while the 2 employees were in the back. Then they were on their phones while making my food which felt too causal. The store itself doesn't feel peaceful or inviting, kind of dirty and unorganized with dingy patio furniture. The highlight is the affordably priced açaí bowls, although flavor felt lacking. read more

This location needs new management. Felt bad for the one girl working there through lunch break. Multiple orders coming through online with more in person. Kitchen was a mess and she had to clean blenders on her own. Management should learn how to run this properly because they do have good products. read more

Ginger shot on Yelp check in! Warning: the shot is super strong and the spiciness of the ginger lingers in your throat. I feel like hitting a high note after the drink. I had the RECOVERY JUICE. It has beet, ginger, kale, orange, and celery. Super good! I've ordered smoothies in the past and I've enjoyed them. Location is perfect for my one stop shop! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Smoothies are great, but do not order from the Redondo Beach location if you want your online order to be ready at the promised time. I have regularly waited 5-10 minutes past the promised time with no complaints. Unfortunately several weeks ago, 21 minutes past the promised time, my order had not even been started. I was unable to wait any longer and asked that the order be cancelled and my credit card be refunded. Several days later no refund had been issued, so I contacted customer service. Customer service responded immediately and said my request had been sent to the franchise management. 11 days later - still no response. The corporate office ultimately resolved my issue, but it is clear that the location franchise owner does not care about their customers or customer service. read more

My drink was SO GOOD!!! I would highly recommend the razzy float. And the staff was very sweet and quick.

Went today because it is my goto for a little drink. The girl at register was a bit upset we interrupted her when she was on her phone and projected it on to me and my friend. I get that maybe it was just a bad day so her phone was a distracting her from whatever she was going through but it was empty when we went. And she was very off-putting.When I got my drink it was very liquidy and that's not how I normally have my drink. And the way she spoke was just not okay. My friend did not even try ordering an acai bowl after watching her interaction with me. Such a let down. read more

We come here a lot but the quality has gone down. What's the point of the big container For the açaí bowls If they only fill it part way. So much empty space you feel ripped off. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - 2/3 full bowls? - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Nekter makes a solid açaí bowl! I love that their bases are vegan and that they offer gluten free granola! The base is thick and creamy (without dairy) and they give a nice amount of granola. I wish they provided a bit more fresh fruit but overall very good. If you are looking for a pure açaí bowl this probably won't do it for you- their bases are typically a mixture of açaí, other fruits (like banana strawberries and blueberries) and some sort of non-dairy milk (I believe mine was cashew). I really liked it though! read more

Nekter Juice Bar - Almond Butter Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I ordered their açaí bowl, but it was super watery. Thankfully, the lady working there was really nice and offered to remake it. However, the store seriously needs to pay much more attention to sanitation and cleanliness. There were fruits and trash scattered all over the floor, leftover smoothies sitting in the blenders, and fruit scraps left on a very dirty cutting board. On top of that, the nice lady was wearing gloves but took orders and touched various surfaces without changing them. Another staff member washed her hands but didn't use a paper towel, immediately shaking off the water instead. I'm giving two stars because the staff was kind and the bowl was decent after the remake, but the overall cleanliness was extremely unappetizing. They really need to clean their kitchen read more

Came on a Sunday around 1 pm. The woman behind the counter stated it would be 10-15 minutes as she was new and her coworker hasn't shown up for work. She stated that she didn't know how to do anything. My boyfriend and I decided to wait the 10-15 minutes. Other customers came in and she proceeded to tell them the same thing. We stuck around for 20 minute, until we overheard her tell another customer that her coworker was supposed to be here at 12. That means the location hasn't been serving costumers for over an hour. I had read the previous poor reviews on this location but was hoping they weren't true. Clearly the management at this location is poor and from previous reviews, it doesn't appear that anything is being done about it. Updating to add: Another costumer came in and she took their order while we were just sitting here for 20 minutes "waiting" on her coworker. Maybe we misunderstood her not wanting to take our order but she could have clarified rather than letting us sit here for a half hour. read more

Nekter Juice Bar - 40 minutes later, this is what we left with. Half full bowls. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Bowl/smoothie is great but Who ever is in charge of nektar hiring needs to be replaced. Between this location and the one in hermosa that closed down , there has always been problems with only 1 employee working. 3rd time coming where it took 25min + for the order because there's so many orders only 1 person is dealing with. read more

Sunday, July 23 @ 3,40 pm, My friend & I walked in & waited in line to place an order. When it was our turn, the employee said he was the only employee working and that we'd have to wait because he was backed up. We waited outside for about 7 - 8 minutes. In the meantime, another customer walked in and placed an order. We returned, thinking that he must be taking orders, and he again said that we would have to wait. My friend said, "You took their order." He said, "Yeah, but there's still gonna be a wait. " My friend asked him how long the wait would be, and he said, 20 - 30 minutes. We decided to leave. He clearly didn't want to take our order and made it known that he wouldn't take it either. He was very unprofessional, and although he was the only person working, there were better ways to handle the situation. He did not apologize for the wait or ensure we were happy customers in any way. I have no idea why he denied us and not others, but it was very upsetting. The place was not clean or well maintained. I usually go to the location near me where i am greeted, my order is taken quickly, and it's clean. The Redondo location was not satisfactory and did not meet my expectations for a juice bar. The fruit and veggies were not fresh & he was not waring gloves. I will not return to the Redondo Beach location. read more
