I was just at Plaza Bonita Mall with my daughter. About to order but the employee said please come back in 10 minutes because she's taking her break. We left I look back in disappointment and see that the employee stayed and began chatting with someone. Nit good customer service. read more

This little gem is located in plaza bonita mall. Smoothies are very good ! My go to is always the strawberry & banana smoothie. Very sweet, they use whole milk and coconut milk its honestly such a great combo ! Very refreshing, it is slammed with sugar. A little pricey but the large is a very huge cup for a smoothie ! Service is exceptional. This is a grab and go type of place . The only seating available is all the way towards the front of the mall. The atmosphere is very busy and crowded as its located in a mall ! Nonetheless i love this place ! read more

Surf City Squeeze - Strawberry Banana - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - National City, California

Pineapple Peach Smoothie FTW! Been coming here for years with my girls. In the heart of the mall basically in the middle, almost every time we come to the Plaza Bonita Mall we make a stop here. No matter the time of the year, summer, winter, hot or a cold day their smoothies always hit the spot. Our favorite is Pineapple Peach we get larges it's worth it they big & we tend to share 2 between the 4 of us. The Strawberry Banana is good too & anything with Mango. They mix almost anything you want, they are pretty fast & customer service is ok for the most part. A little hidden gem inside the mall that we love & appreciate, see you soon Surf City Squeeze :) read more

This is my first time being completely dismissed. I had a meeting in el cajon, but I accidentally put in an online order for the plaza bonita mall, which I confused with the parkway plaza mall. Parkway plaza said they dont even do online ordering. I showed him my online receipt because I already paid for it and he showed me my mistake. So I called to see about picking my order up this weekend or whenever im in that area of national city. Wow what an ordeal. A young girl kept muting my call while she asked talked it over with ‍. She originally told me on Tuesday when I ordered that YES she would leave my name and number so that I could pick up my order another time. Today is Friday and the same young lady, told me her managers name is Rachel and shes not in. I need to call corporate and get a refund. I dont want a refund, I want the drink. I looked around for a corporate # and the website says just call the location of the order, which is not helpful at all. NO AMBIENCE, NO DRINK JUST A LOSS ‍ read more

This spot is a great option if you're shopping and suddenly find yourself in a -sweet craving situation-. They offer many Smoothie and Bobba options but we always get the Strawberry Banana Smoothie, It's made mainly with natural ingredients and Almond Milk (which is a great alternative to regular milk), also cup sizes go from small to large (I usually get the small or medium). read more

Always delish and great on hot days. One of my favorite places at this mall. Wish they had more locations

whenever i visit plaza bonita, i go here every time without fail just for their strawberry banana smoothie. i don't know what it is but it just gives me that nostalgic feeling since i've been going here since i was a kid, and it's tasted consistently good throughout the years. the portion sizes are also pretty big for what you pay, so i personally think it's a decent value read more

so you said you want an amazing tasting drink?This is the place for it. Variety of drinks A+. Professionalism F Flavor of beverages A. Decency C Accuracy of order B Customer service D Set up in the Middle (Like an island type of middle ) in the mall near johns incredible pizza so.. Noise level is LOUD AS HELL They [have to] yell [because the mall is so loud] the drink type: example: "strawberry banana!" when it's ready.And So I noticed customers were often grabbing wrong drinks that weren't theirs .. awkward. Wait isn't too bad. They get busy but make sure you grab what's yours. I ask them to write my name on the cup when ordering. I didn't get my receipt even when asking for it. She was quick to smile and say" your drink will be out on that side" points to the crowd of people who ordered already.. read more

Short and simple. - Delicious. Haven't had a drink that wasn't. - they use almond milk and yogurts flavoring as a lot of their bases for their drinks - I'm sick of strawberry banana smoothies, but the ones made here I just LOVE! - Chocolate banana smoothie FTW! - there's normally always a long line so expect to wait - price is a bit high but not out of the ordinary for what they do/give - location is convenient for those shopping at Plaza Bonita - not 5 stars because the employees look so bummed all the time. I get it.. it's busy, you don't like your job.. doesn't pay much.. etc.. but you still need to smile when you're working with customers. I'm a barista so I know how it is.. but just know, customer always comes first regardless of all the other bs that's going on. SMILE :D 1-5 Appearance (place): 4 Appearance (drink): 4 Service: 3/3.5 Taste: 5 Mouth feel: 4.5 Overall: 4 read more

This is my FAVORITE smoothie place ever ! The staff are amazingly nice and are quick . They always make the smoothies consistently awesome ! I pray the owner knows they have great staff !! My favorite is the strawberry banana smoothie with boba . I love you guys !!! read more

I work near by and love coming here on my break. You get drinks faster than you expect. I recommend getting a berry berry breakfast bunch with protein. #guccigang read more

Not so impressed by the smoothie. Obviously anything smoothie is delicious, what really bugs me is that I took my daughter for a girly date and we so happened to want a smoothie today, as we got to ordering the "girl" that worked there was just so sour honestly worst customer service I've had here. Then what really makes it worse is that she didn't even wait until I left to take out her phone to text. How unprofessional. Don't hire these young people without training customer service, they will ruin your business. Not ever buying here again, that's how much of an impact they cause. I bought here at 4:50pm on July 29th 2019 who ever was your cashier working in that hour is honestly a business kill. Not recommending this smoothie place at all. read more

Tasty for a reason, it's all sugar. If you want a healthy smoothie, this is not the place at all. It's funny to see people lining up in their Yoga pants, and this stuff has more carbs and sugar than drink large amounts of soda. If you care about your fitness and want to be healthy, look for a real smoothie place. read more

The prices are a little high but it's worth it when it's hot. Hands down the best smoothie place out there. The business has been here for more than 15 years. They always have new staff but they are ALWAYS well trained. For as many faces that I've seen here, they always know their drinks and believe it or not I've never EVER had somebody mess up my order. Not once. They've adapted to the Bulba Culture over time and that is pretty cool to see. I myself enjoy a good pineapple peach or strawberry banana smoothie. The Tsunami size (XL) is what I usually get since I don't get to stop by very often. I make sure to make it count! read more

My smoothie was very good and the service was pretty quick. I got the triple berry smoothie and it was super good. Onto the bad news. I had a coupon for a buy one get one free for their exact location and the girl at the counter told me that they don't except them even though it's for their location and the coupon is valid. I got the coupon off of this website where you use credits to buy the coupon and I just wasted mine on something that they didn't even honor. Why would you have a coupon up on a particular website if you don't honor it? I just think that that is pretty shady. I probably won't be back even though my smoothie was really good. read more

Totally unprofessional establishment. My daughter put in a simple order. Seems that the employees are more worried about their cell phone then customer service. Will never spend my money here again. read more

Prices are a little pricier here than their other locations, which was okay. I got my usual blueberry banana, and opted for a large.. a couple sips later I had a weird aftertaste in my mouth. Couldn't get rid of it, tried to drink more..couldn't finish the drink and ended up tossing it. Not sure what was off with the smoothie but it was just not the same as other locations. read more

They're pretty fast, even tho they get busy. The drinks are tasty as well. Pricey, but understandable. However the girls who work there are absolutely the worst. Every time I go there, it feels like they're being forced to work there. Their attitudes, gestures and body languages are very rude. read more

I love Surf City! It's the only place I like to go to when I really want a smoothie. Every surf city has different pricing but very similar. This location does have boba options as well! read more

Mmmmm...so delicious. I get the strawberry banana smoothie and the bestie gets the blueberry something or another. It's our go to spot at the mall. Mine taste like liquid strawberries and cream! Yum! We add Boba...so yummy and has a perfect balance of sweetness. Last time we went the Boba was warm :/ forgiveable but not as tummy with a cold smoothie with hot beads :( The lines are long but it goes by decently quick The employees aren't very friendly...not outwardly rude either but don't expect a smile or anything pleasant like that :/ Their lines are neverending so I can see how they probably each of us is just another blurry face and with the tons of most likely rude and ungrateful teenagers roaming the mall, friendliness probably gets old. Whatevs....good smoothies...:) Price could be less steep, but what are you gonna do...such is life. read more

Loveeeeeeee the smoothies here! This is the ONLY place in San Diego that always gets it right! The strawberry banana smoothie is delicious! I've been going there for years and the taste is always consistent, great job Surf City Squeeze!!! read more

WOW! This place has been there since I was a kid when KB Toy store was still there and I would come out crying because my mom wouldn't buy me a GameBoy. Maybe not that young but I was fairly young. I think the prices are fairly reasonable for the quality of the smoothie. And, the size is not bad at all. Just the right amount of serving because you don't want to over indulge your stomach with too much of it. My all time favorites; Blueberry Banana, Strawberry Banana and Banana Banana. I love Bananas! As for the previous comments, I agree. It's not too thick where you can't even get it out of the straw and its never watery or icy. There are times when there's about four, five or six people in front of the line but most of the time there's no line and the service is extremely fast. I'm talking about them having your smoothie ready in 60-seconds when there's less than two customers. Every time I visit the mall there's a 85% chance I'm buying a Surf City Squeeze Smoothie. read more

Freaking awesome smoothies I've tried nearly everything on the board all is good. Quick and friendly staff. Tip: Surf city will MAKE any requested smoothie combination! i.e. Coconut + Banana is my favorite read more

I love their smoothies! I gotta say that going to this stand is one of the reasons I come to Plaza Bonita. I don't mind the 8.75% sales tax on my smoothies. My absolute favorite is their Strawberry Guava smoothie - heaven~~ It's right in front of Shimmer and next to the Starbucks stand. read more

Customer service needs improvement. Went here a few days ago with one employee working. She was busy talking to a friend (not a worker) when I approached. She knew I was standing there but she continued to talk. After I placed my order she was still talking before making my drink. read more

Love their strawberrie banana smoothies!!! Prices went up and are a little expensive:/ but never lets me down when it comes to taste!

DELICIOUS Peach Pineapple smoothie or as my Husband and I like to call it Pepi. If you ask for it thick it taste so much better. We literally just go to the mall for a smoothie. All power to Surf City Squeeze with their Delicious smoothies. Super happy & repetitive customer-family size. read more

Very tasty! Got my smoothie in 2 minutes and it was delicious don't sleep pull up!!!

Had the best experience even though I noticed it was very busy. They had somehow switched up the drinks so mine came out wrong, but they quickly fixed the solution and I was glad they saw it as a priority. Would defiantly come here again and the smoothie was delicious !! read more

The smoothies are refreshing. Anything in combination with pineapple is delish!! My personal favorite is pineapple and peach, or pineapple with blueberry. Service is prompt but the staff can be more friendly. read more

This is exactly why I drive all the way to the Surf City Squeeze in East County...I stopped by Macy's Plaza Bonita the other day...Wallet and cell phone in one hand my 82 year old loved one in the other...The plan was to make a quick stop at the Clinique counter then walk a few stores down to Surf City Squeeze...Grab some smoothies for us and get back on the road asap...For one their menu featured maybe a third of what the Parkway location offers...When I asked for the Queens Delight the girl looked at me like I was speaking Arabic...What's that she replied in the most snooty disgusting tone ever...Me...Never mind...By the way if you're not hot please refrain from acting like a mean girl because if you don't have looks really all you have to work with is your personality so for your own good be nice...Anyways...Quick glance at the pathetic menu...I ordered two chocolate and banana smoothies... The whole time the male employee is giving me hamburger eyes...GROSS...How more thirsty looking can you possibly be...Men, there is a HUGE difference between being curious and being creepy...Please know this!...I didn't even know he was an employee because he was dressed like a wanna be thug bum with no apron on or anything...If anything I thought it was her boyfriend visiting her on the job or something...I felt so uncomfortable I didn't even want to wait for our drinks to be blended so I walked into the store right across the way to kill the time... After grabbing our drinks and heading back to the seating area near Macys I realized I had not left my phone with my loved one so I immediately headed back to Surf City Squeeze...I asked the girl if I had left my phone up at the counter by chance and she replied no...Then Hamburger Eyes asks...What kind of phone? Either you found my phone or you didn't...Hmmm...Super shady...Annoyed out of my mind and frantically obsessing over the fact that my S4 with my entire social media life on it is missing in action I walk away and head back to Macy's...Of course our nasty smoothies are melting at this point...I went back to the Clinique counter and the girl assures me I had my cell in my hand when I left...When I tell her about the comment Mr. Hamburger Eyes made she concurred that it was a suspicious response to a yes or no question and recommended I go back and confront him with mall security if necessary... I walk back to Surf City Squeeze with the girl from Clinique and would you know it...The guy is gone...How convenient...So I advise the female employee that there is now no question that I had my phone upon ordering my drinks and that I most likely left it in front of the cash register...Me: Was that guy that was here earlier even an employee?...Her: Yes...Me: If he didn't pick up my phone why would he ask what kind of phone it was instead of answering with a simple yes or no...Her: I don't know but he wouldn't even want your phone...WHAAAATTTT!!!...I'm sure if I type my response to her my review will most likely not be displayed...and through all of this Hamburger Eyes is still no where to be found... After realizing that the only thing standing in the way of me catching an assault and battery charge was a piece of glass I decided it was probably best to go ahead and allow Macy's to get security involved...Right before I walked back to the department store I decided to go into the store across the way and ask the girl if she had seen anything...and would you believe...She tells me "some guy" turned in a phone to her...We walk over to the counter and there's my phone...So let me get this straight...Hamburger Eyes found a phone...but didn't know if it was THE phone I was looking for so he asks what kind of phone it is...Then he mysteriously disappears in the middle of an early morning shift and then it just so happens "some guy" turns my phone into the store directly across the way...Not a good look Surf City Squeeze! This is by far the worst costumer service I have ever encountered at a beverage bar from Cali to NY by far...I have no evidentiary proof that Hamburger Eyes unsuccessfully attempted to steal my phone then turned it in once they realized I wasn't just going to leave the mall...and I say "they" because I totally feel that the girl was in on it...but let's be clear...There are people sitting on Death Row as I type based on circumstantial evidence alone...and I'm not just saying this because their customer service was horrendous and they tried to steal my phone...The smoothies were nasty...Fail... read more

I have NO idea what that yellow creamy liquid is, but I don't care! They make the best Strawberry Banana smoothies I have ever had! It's a must whenever I'm at the mall and I've been doing this for years. I wish they would open up more locations around me. The workers are always so friendly and quick with their service too. In love with this place! read more

I've been here so many times because their smoothies are absolutely delicious! My absolute favorite is the strawberry banana, its very sweet and is perfect after a nice day at the mall.

Out of all the times I've been here, never ever have I received good customer service. All the girls who work there are so damn rude, it's annoying. They don't even greet you. Also my drinks are always different, they're either too watery or too thick. Seems like they can't get the hang of that simple job. read more

This place is the jam! Its been around forever or at least since I was a teen. Its always been consistent in flavor and quality. They got it down! Strawberry banana is my favorite. They have really good flavors. Cant go wrong. read more
