Convenient place to grab a relatively health snack between classes or after a workout. Nice peeps too.

Protein was stacked, I really enjoyed the protein balls!! I also really enjoyed the açaí bowls and I did get to try the smoothie and it was delicious. read more

Tried the cookie dough protein balls, so delicious perfect balance of cookie dough and oats.

Lovely customer service! Had my bowl ready quickly and was so good! Going to make it habit to continue to go to shakesmart!

Very tasty acai bowls. Hopefully they don't add sugar. The young college student manning the counter was very sweet and eager to answer questions. read more

Acai Bowls!! That is one kind of healthy food that I do not see as a dessert. To me, they are like having a healthy meal. On a recent trip, my wife was craving an Acai Bowl. After browsing through Yelp, she and her soul sister found Shake Smart close by. They are located on the campus of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Good to know that the college students can get some healthy food at Shake Smart. They do make some really good acai bowls. Both my wife and I were satisfied with our customized acai bowls. Made for a really nice dinner. Check out Shake Smart if you are anywhere near Cal Poly SLO craving something healthy. You are certain to find something on the menu to satisfy a healthy craving. read more

Great people who work here, always happy to see everyone. Excellent food and shakes. Love this place overall.

Shake Smart is the perfect place to get a refreshing and nutrient-dense meal! I love getting a protein shake after I finish a workout and they have so many options to choose from - and you can customize your order! My current order is the protein balls and a scooped acai bowl - YUM! read more

Excellent smoothies and Açaí bowls. Not only is the food healthy and fresh, it's on the Cal Poly SLO campus so students have nutritious fast options. The staff is always friendly. There are a few benches outside so you can hang out or get it on the go. Casual cool ambiance and good prices. read more

Highly recommend Shake Smart to all!!! It's great for a quick meal on the go, post workout fuel, a tasty snack-- anything! They have açaí bowls, protein shakes, overnight oats, yogurt, and more. So many healthy options to fit everyone's desires!! The staff is also very friendly and always welcoming with an upbeat attitude!! They are always willing to answer my questions even when they are busy and running around the shop. Shake Smart is on Cal Poly campus so it's fun to grab you food and take it for a stroll around campus or go find a cute seating area! read more

Nice large selection of healthy refreshing shakes, smoothies and chilled açaí type frozen bowls. I ordered the flavor of the month: Red, white & Blue (Strawberries bananas blueberries with pomegranate juice & vanilla protein powder). Blended perfectly, very refreshing, delicious. Tasted like an açaí shake. My guest had the Peanut butter banana chocolate Açaí bowl, good as well. Recommend for a healthy refreshment. They are franchised and have locations on many university campuses, to rival Starbucks (as they have a few blended coffee shakes, not as many as Starbucks). read more

Did not realize that this was inside the Cal Poly campus till GPS brought me here. It is hard to get there, you have to park and then walk to it. Makes sense if you are only catering to the students. They have a cool system, you order on the iPad and pay at the register. The raw peanut butter açaí bowl was good but very small, it is more of a snack than a meal. The matcha vanilla protein shake had too much ice and was meh. read more

They have the best açaí bowls and protein shakes. I usually get their scooped rawcai bowl. For protein shakes, I usually get breakfast to go or mea aloha. In the shakes they use optimum nutrition whey protein protein. It is located right outside of the rec center and it is very convenient. This place never disappoints! read more

I don't get Shake Smart very often because there is usually a line that is way too long. And actually, it's a little confusing because you make your order first on the iPad and then get in line to pay. I can see the benefits of this system but it was just a little confusing at first. I usually order an acai bowl because I think it is way more worth it than to order a smoothie and the bowls are usually a hit or miss. I have had an excellent pb&a and other times, I have had a very watery one. It really depends on the person making it and of course, you can't control that. I would come back if I was really feeling like an acai bowl and didn't want to drive off campus. read more

I was up visiting my daughter at CalPoly and she recommended we visit Shake Smart. I love healthy food and this place didn't disappoint! Overnight oats and an excellent Acai bowl made for a fun snack in the afternoon. A great vibe with amazing employees! I highly recommend you take a break and enjoy a small treat for yourself... Five star for sure. read more

Terrible service. Waited 15 minutes for a smoothie. Workers were just talking and started giving away smoothies. On Monday April 22 at 9:30 ish. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Slo, would highly recommend the raw pb açaí bowl it's amazing:) The staff are also always super friendly and helpful! read more

Great service! Super fast, high quality, and tastes great! The employees are always so kind and patient. Highly recommend!

This place is the bomb! Really yummy, healthy food. Fast service and nice people working there too!

Everything I've tried from here is so good, and the lowest prices for a smoothie in SLO by far! Friendly staff and quality product

Peanut butter shake was delicious! Staff seemed very happy, it was an all around great experience. Definitely coming back

This is hands down the best place to eat on campus! The raw-pb bowl is one of the best things to exist

Loved my matcha protein shake! Conveniently located by the rec center, and not a terrible price for something so fulfilling and healthy. read more

After transferring to Cal Poly I was so excited to see a protein smoothie shop on campus right outside the rec center. After trying it for the first time, I was very impressed with the quality of the product. They use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey protein which is my preferred high quality protein supplement. I got to customize my shake with almond butter instead of peanut butter and added spinach for extra nutrients. It tasted amazing! I can definitely say I will be a frequent flyer at Shake Smart! read more

Shake Smart is FAKE HEALTHY, a marketing trick. I am a staff member at Cal Poly and I don't eat sugar so I was excited to see the health claim posted that said "no added sugar" while walking buy. I finally made it over there to try it out and ordered an acai bowl. It regularly comes with granola which has added sugar. I was easily able to sub this for something else like chia seeds but how many people order this thinking it's "healthy". If you get it with the granola, you've just de-healthified it. I thought it came with cacao nibs, normally a sugar-free product, but when it came, it was little chocolate pieces. Very sugary. The smoothie tastes very sweet so I was left wondering if they use the kind of peanut butter that has added sugar. I ate the banana and some of the smoothie with chia seeds and tossed the rest out. I now have a headache. Not only will I not be back but I'm disappointed that there are so few healthy options on campus for Cal Poly students (not to mention us staff). And the options that seem healthy are actually just marketed as such but are anything but. This is especially tough for students who are trying to figure out their own healthy eating habits as they enter adulthood. Marketing claims of health are prevalent and can be hard to ignore, especially for those who have not yet become aware that food companies are in the business of making money, and adding a health claim can often bring in more sales revenue. Gold Standard Whey protein powder is made with "Natural and artificial flavors," yikes. ""The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof." - FDA I'm not going to say that all artificial flavors are bad because there aren't enough studies to say, but with the wealth of delicious flavors from regular ol' foods made by nature that already exist, why experiment with our health by adding artificial ones? read more

Could not try food-was told they closed two hours earlier than shown on their hours. Take out.

Shake Smart on the Cal Poly campus is AMAZING! The menu has tons of healthy options and leaves you feeling full and refreshed!! The staff there and management was super friendly and helpful when informing guests on their options, I highly recommend to anyone who wants a healthy pick me up read more

I love the quality of ingredients! I feel safe ordering in covid and the staff are so friendly. Love the consistency and definitely recommend the perfect 10! read more

Shake smart is one of the very few places that I go to eat on campus and I enjoy it a lot. However, it's hard to go back to support because of multiple things: 1. You get ripped off sometimes. Sometimes I get a bowl and it's barley filled. It has 3 banana slices in it and half a scoop of açaí with some granola sprinkled. Usually it should take up at least half the bowl but sometimes I only get a quarter of the bowl. It's usually when they are in a rush and are running low on supplies but if that is the case, then don't serve me! I am a college student, so every dollar counts. Also, the shake smart app scan thing never works! It seems that every other time I go, the scanner for the app is broken. I think they just don't want you to get rewards. 2. Long wait. There have been times where I have waited for 28min and there was only one other person there. I kept looking inside to see what they were doing and they were cleaning for 28min. Then I got my bowl. Disappointing, especially since my raw açaí bowl, I feel, takes 2min to make and I was the only person there at one point. This hasn't happened once, but many many times. 3. And most importantly......Be careful, sometimes they steal your money! I got charged for 2 açaí bowls and I only ordered 1. It was only after I left that I realized it because they don't give you a receipt. I looked back at my transactions and she charged me for 2 bowls...are you kidding me? I really like their bowls, but with the non-consistency, long wait/lack of attention to the customer, and they charge you for things you didn't order...it's hard to come back to order at shake smart. Sad:( read more

Shake smart is a good option for healthy food on campus BUT they need to be more careful with dietary restrictions. Their bowls with dark chocolate NEED to say that it contains dairy. I ordered it and then found out it has dairy and i'm vegan. The lady working only responded with a snarky comment, no offer to remake my bowl. Also, there needs to be a meal credit option here. read more

After reporting this incident, Kevin was very helpful in getting more details about what happened and executing a great follow-up. Through the personal outreach from Kevin, I felt that my needs were heard and he was very understanding of the situation, hearing my explanation on what happened as well as providing his feedback. He also gave me 3 free bowls in exchange for my bad experience. I really appreciate his effort and I definitely think he is a very kind business owner. I'm confident that this will not happen again. read more

Great quality at a good price. Tasty food with great ingredients.

You must go here, especially if you're a CP student. There's often a long line, but it's worth it. I love their scooped açaí bowls and their peanut butter shake, oh my goodness. So good! read more

Just wanted to leave a good review- great service and great food! Didn't catch her name but a girl with brown hair and bangs made the best smoothie for me yesterday at 2 and was the nicest employee ever! read more

I came to shakesmart the other day, but i was super hesitant to order anything because I'm vegan and everything has whey protein! After talking to lois, i got a ton of suggestions of things i could eat there. She was super kind, helpful, and mostly just hilarious! I'll definitely be coming back soon :)) For the vegans out there: I 100% recommend the PB squared with plant choc and almond butter. read more

Shake Smart is the best!!! When i first went I recognized my friend from class Roya at the counter and she recommended the Perfect 10 and it was super delicious! I love that there is finally a decent and healthy place to eat at Cal Poly. read more

I loveeee Shake Smart! I'm so happy that Cal Poly has taken initiative to bring healthy and affordable foods to campus. I would highly recommend the PB squared and fruitopia to anyone. Ive gone with friends who have very specific restrictions and the process is really easy and smooth. Ordering is easy, paying with the app is simple, and it's an amazing environment (music, happy workers, etc).My only complaint is it's a little slow even though they usually have a ton of people working. 9/10 would recommend to a friend read more

Awesome customer service and always delicious very convenient and reasonable prices! Come at least once a week.

DO NOT GET AN ACAI BOWL HERE. The acai bowls are always very melted and watery. Also the acai bowl tastes terrible. You are better off getting a smoothie. read more

While visiting my best friend in SLO, my husband, daughters (3 and 6) and I were THRILLED to have a Shake Smart to visit for a quick and healthy meal-to-go!!! Being from San Diego, I discovered Shake Smart first there when I was seeking a healthy and filling option as a new mommy-to-be! I have allergies to peanuts and dairy, so in the past I had struggled to find nutritious and delicious options conveniently and affordably! I found Shake Smart to be the perfect marriage of both! I am a fan of a wide range of their offerings: Organic Supershake (sub almond butter), Original Acai Bowl, Almond Butter Sandwich, PB&B Oatmeal (sub almond butter) and Sunrise Veggie Wrap (no cheese please)! My husband and kids especially love the PB Squared shake. In addition to LOVING the product offering, I ADMIRE and RESPECT the passion and positive energy that each staff member exudes! Honestly, customer service is HUGE for me and often determines if I return to an establishment! It is clear that this company takes care of their employees and that gives me yet another reason to highly recommend and support them with CONFIDENCE! :-) read more
