I'm so happy I found Surf City Squeeze again! I used to go to their location at Buena Park Mall years ago, and I was so sad when it closed. I recently discovered they're actually a franchise and found another location nearby and it did not disappoint! I ordered the pineapple coconut orange smoothie and it was SO good. Super refreshing, perfectly blended, and the tropical flavors were balanced just right not too sweet, just smooth and creamy. It honestly brought back so many memories. If you're craving a fresh, fruity smoothie that tastes like a mini vacation, this is the spot. I'm so glad I rediscovered them! read more

I'm hoping that our bad experience will not occur with another person, but if you are vegan or allergic to dairy please have a heads up. The menu descriptions on the walls do not give their full description. If you want to see the breakdown you have to go to their website, which by the way is extremely inconvenient when wanting to order "fast food". So before going down the path of website research we thought we'd ask the staff who should know their ingredients. My friend is vegan and allergic to dairy, so she's used to having to ask questions. To verify before ordering we asked does the strawberry banana kale chiller have dairy? The woman said no we use a nondairy base. So we ordered the smoothie. Which when we received looked pretty milky to us, so we went on the website and found the ingredients of their "nondairy" smoothie base. The base does not have lactose, however it does contain dairy, so if you are vegan or have a dairy allergy then you cannot consume it. This is where the situation turned. When we went back to kindly let them know and show them the website. One staff member was nice and was willing to make a new one without the base, however another member who we think was the owner got angry and wanted to argue that we were wrong and wouldn't acknowledge what we found on the website. We weren't demanding our money back, we just wanted to have something that my friend could have, but the rudeness was completely unnecessary. read more

Billy has the most incredible customer service. He gives great eye contact and gets our order correct every time. We don't go if he is not working. We really appreciate his positive attitude and work ethic and my wife thinks it's fun to look at his muscles too. He is extremely professional and always has a positive attitude. We will always come back as long as Billy is there! Best smoothie around too. You can tell that they use fresh fruit and not just powdered crap. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place !! It's been around my whole life and the smoothies are still as good as they were when I was a kid !! Order the pineapple coconut orange smoothie! You will not be disappointed! read more

First time trying this place after passing by it in mainplace mall many times. We wanted a smoothie as a refreshing breakfast. The prices are pretty high but at least they put a dome lid so you can get the rest of the smoothie that's left since some places will just toss it. The flavor of the smoothie was good... the banana and peanut butter wasn't too strong even though that was all that was in my smoothie so could've been a lot of ice added. The worker was friendly and got our smoothies out quickly. They have seating on the side or you can enjoy it walking around and shopping. I would come back to try a different drink. read more

Back in the day (aka high school) I used to hang out at MainPlace Mall all the time, and Surf City Squeeze was my go to for something cold. I was in the area again today and was delighted to see them still in business. I opted for a Strawberry Pineapple Chill (not the smoothie -- the one made with ice). I was looking forward to it SO much.. But was highly disappointed. There must've been two strawberries and two pieces of pineapple in it, if that, because there was hardly any flavor. I blend fruit with ice all the time at home.. and I don't skimp on my fruit. This lack-of-flavor cold beverage was not worth the almost $6. 2022: 95/100 read more

Strike two at the Food Court... got the Orange Cream Smoothie.. skip it-- the orange flavor is non existent so it's just ice with milk/cream. Man I miss the childhood good Orange Julius. Two stars for the person who helped us, he was nice enough but the product itself so disappointing read more

I have been coming here for years!! Surf city squeeze is amazing!! The smoothies are delicious!! They staff is awesome!! They are always so friendly! The place is very clean. I always get the strawberry banana smoothie with boba. Today I got the matcha blueberry smoothie. read more

Best smoothies dude working there super chill to always good service highly recommend

The smoothie is not that good, but the review is mainly for the service. The employee taking our order, Esme (it was on her hat she didn't event look up to say hi) was incredibly rude. We were ignored for a solid 5 minutes which I understood because one of the employees looked really busy. Then Esme came out of the back to take our order and had the absolute worst attitude about it. If she's gonna work there, leave her in the back. She was huffin and puffin about taking our order, and got mad because we asked for something that was out of stock(we obviously didn't know that). Then she was mad when she finished our order even though we weren't done ordering and had to add another drink. If two people are waiting in line, they're probably each gonna get a drink Esme. The other employee was very kind and was working very hard, she was the only good part about that interaction. read more

I like this spot at the main place. The smoothies are so good. The one I always get is the triple berry. it's a 5/5. I wish I got that guy's name that works there. He works by himself on friday nights and he has like 6 orders and a long line of people trying to order. call him speedy because he gets the smoothies made asap. I was amazed by how fast he was making them. If i was him i'll be stressing out like crazy.. That's why I keep on coming here. read more

Ah, I checked out the locations for surf city squeeze on their website and saw that they still had a location at MainPlace Mall. I had not been to the mall in probably over a decade so it was fun to take a stroll. I got one of my old favorites which was the strawberry banana and it did not disappoint. It brought back so many memories, and it tasted the same as it always did! For that, five stars all the way! A small charge for using the credit card - no problem! I hope this place can hang on along with all of the other places (hot dog on a stick!) in the malls food court. read more

Surf City Squeeze - Strawberry banana!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Could have killed me. Ridiculously negligent. I explained at the beginning of my order Tham I'm severely allergic to banana. She said okay, and proceeded to make my drink and someone else's drink simultaneously. So I watch her peel 2 bananas, then proceeded to touch my cup and blender. So I stop her and say, "I told you I'm allergic to banana, you've just contaminated my cup and the blender." She responded "I'm being careful, what's the problem?" She then remakes my drink USING THE SAME CONTAMINATED CUP! My friend picked up the drink and threw it out. Also, the owner was helping assist his employee. Then after making 1 drink, stopped and went to the back, despite still having drinks to make, and people in line waiting to order more drinks. All around horrible experience. After tip, I paid 12 dollars. I won't return. Don't waste your money. read more

My strawberry banana smoothie was so delicious! Fresh fruit and clean working space. This was way better than Jamba or other large smoothie places. Also the guy working the counter was friendly and quick. read more

I absolutely love coming here! They make the best smoothies the tall man that work here is super polite c: he is the kindest and nicest person ever his pleasant excellent attitude is what makes me want to come back! This place also has healthy add ons like Bee pollen, protein powder, collagen, vitamins, and more! Thank you sir for always making my visit the best experience I definitely love to come by and get a smoothie whenever I come by to the mall! I would give it 10/5 stars!!!（＾＿＾） read more

Very good smoothies and friendly staff. Try them out. Healthier than Jamba Juice, no added sugar

Wish I could give more than 5 stars, Everyone at this location including Billy and Jessica (hopefully I spelled those right!!) have made my smoothies perfect everytime and always give me a good surprise drink, thank you for your hard work and I look forward to getting smoothies here during my work breaks! read more

Came here and got a pina colada smoothie. It was amazing and the boba was good. The best part was the person working her name was Heidi she was amazing. Good people like her make me come back. read more

Omg! This milk tea boba I ordered today is soooo good; the texture of the boba is soft (just how I like it) and the milk is just the perfect blend of creamy. ...Now, I am now regretting why I did not order a larger size :( #bobaproblems lol read more

My favorite place at the mall to get smoothies! Some places have smoothies that taste too sweet and nothing like the fruit, this place is the opposite. I love the mango pineapple smoothie or even just the mango by itself. read more

The service can be sketchy at times. But if they're reading a magazine or in the back stock room, I say a loud hello and they usually come out with a smile. I only order one thing here because I love Taro smoothies. Yes, I've had other flavors, and make lots of berry and mango smoothies at home. But their Taro smoothie is my favorite of the several places I visit for that. They've also figured out that a lot of people who like Taro are Pacific Islanders and Asians, and many of us are lactose intolerant. But this Surf City (and maybe all of them) use soy milk. I am not sure what brand they use, but their taro smoothie has a smoother texture than others and has a very very light coconut aftertaste. I once had a milk and ice cream based Taro smoothie, and I was dangerous playing tennis. My doubles partner laughed so hard at my gas problems that he almost fell a couple of times. There was once a lot of health nuts who wanted soy milk products cuz it supposedly had some anti cancer properties, but I think that benefit has since been debunked I always get the large, and I don't care how fattening it is. I dont drive out of my way for a teenie cup. No, super size it for me. But don't drink it too fast as it's ice cold when you get it. People tell me they get a headache from eating ice cream or drinking very cold drinks. Also, a lot of surf cities don't have the variety that this location has. They will even make it a protein rich smoothie for a small extra charge. They're located upstairs in the food court. read more

Best smoothies I've tasted! I always come here to get a strawberry banana smoothie. I personally like when the guys make the smoothies versus the girl because the guys smoothies come out thicker and creamier, the girl makes the smoothies too watery but that's just my preference :) I recommend getting a smoothie here! They always use fresh fruit! read more

Best boba (mocha Java I think) that I've had! It's upstairs on the 2nd floor right next to another boba place. But come here! It's totally worth it. Super quick service! Cashier was friendly. Cleanliness also gets an A+. I will DEFINITELY return for the blended coffee boba drink that I had. Five stars for sure! Thank you so much for the awesome boba! I look forward to returning here to try your other beverages. read more

Surf City Squeeze - If you go ANYWHERE else you're missing out. #SCSboba 3 - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Ana, California

The reason why I'm giving only 3 stars is because the person who did my smoothie didn't wash his hands:( (we are in a pandemic surf city squeeze) after I asked him why he didn't wash his hands he said because I didn't ask him to??? I was speechless I paid 25$ for 4 small smoothies I expect you to wash your hands ! Anyways I won't be returning here... covid is big in Santa Ana they should know that read more

Visited today, there are no signs where line starts. I'm waiting there. The cashier guy sees us (3 persons) standing there. And continues to hel someone else that just walks up to register. I told him. I was there first and he replies rudely, line is here , completely ignores us. And continues to help the other people he was RUDE. Worst customer service ever!!!! read more

This establishment is located in the food court in MainPlace Mall. They serve smoothies. I ordered one, although I had to be more specific based on price since there was presumably more than one item with the same name. It took somewhat long to come out since there was only one staff member doing everything. Tasted good though. read more

My bf and I love this place! It's a sweet and simple smoothie shop! They also sell fresh boba everyday. I usually get the vanilla smoothie with boba and it's quite delightful. Give it a try!!!! read more

Ordered the chocolate covered strawberry smoothie.. blech! Tasted terrible!! I felt sick after drinking it..

Yummy & affordable smoothies!! Always a favorite because they actually use REAL FRUITS!!

Always a delicious and refreshing smoothie. Sometimes the line gets hectic i wish they would put up some kind of barrier up to guide the line. The Banana and PB smoothie is one of my all time favorites! Yesterday i tried the Ginseng Fling Medium sized at 440 calories. It has a scoop of whey protein and ginseng powder. It has pineapple and blueberries but i cant remember the 3rd fruit. It was really good especially considering the ginseng kicked in about 30 min to 45 min later. It was totally worth trying it just for that reason alone. Gave me a great pick me up for the rest of the day. The service is always friendly and they try to get you out as fast as possible. Best part about waiting is the different music videos they play... one word: Awesome! read more

This place is such a staple in the specialty drink (non-alcoholic) community, isn't it? Surf City Squeeze offers everything under the sun! Mostly, their drinks are blended but they also offer iced Milk Tea/Thai Tea. What kind of sucks about this place is that it can totally be a hit-or-miss with your drink depending on who makes it for you! We've had the same drink made by two different people and they taste very differently! I love that they offer 3 different sizes and the largest is darn LARGE! Their prices are also very reasonable and, almost, cheap! You can also add many different supplements like Whey Protein, bee pollen, b-complex or just plain, delicious BOBA! Will keep coming here for years to come - as long as the little Asian guy is making my drink :-) read more

We always drop by every time we visit main place mall. My GF always gets the strawberry banana smoothie and I usually get the strawberry lemonade. I love how creamy the smoothie is. You definitely taste the banana and I appreciate that the strawberry flavor tastes more like the real thing than just a sweet syrup. The lemonade is always consistent and refreshing. It's got the right tang but is slightly sweet for my liking. Once a little ice melts away in about 5 minutes though, it's perfect. The chunks of strawberry are like candy for me. I always try to finish every last bit, and my GF makes fun of me every time. They've opened a boba place next door, but I'll stick to SCS. read more

Old Asian guy wouldn't even give me a cup of water when I asked. I ordered a strawberry smoothie and it tasted a lot like water and ice more than fruity. I would say skip this place and go somewhere better. read more

I come here for one drink and it's always amazing. A Ginseng Fling with Blueberries and Bananas! My own creation. They always have different people working there. I've been coming for years now. The price is what makes me come less than often. Located inside the mall on the second floor by the movie theaters. read more

I love their low calorie smoothies. I sometimes buy them everyday for lunch. They have great sizes and reasonable prices. I wanna give a shoutout to the male asian worker there usually around lunchtime on the weekdays. He's always a nice, cool guy, and provides EXCELLENT customer service. Makes me feel very comfortable coming there every fregin' day to order the same damn thing every other day. Favorite is the pineapple blueberry but I think they're all good as hell to be honest. Maybe too much banana in the banana ones though. Edit: Billy is the worker's name I think, thank you Billy! read more

I've been here about 4-5 times over the past year for their peanut butter banana smoothie. Only the first time did they have it, every other time I've been they've been out of peanut butter. First time it was a bummer, came back the next day and still out. By the third time I was angry. Months go by and I'm by the mall so I stop in hopes they have it. This time I wait at the counter for over five minutes till finally some young girl comes out from the back, I ask for my smoothie and...no peanut butter. Just take it off your menu already. read more

If I am in the Main Place (yes its still Main Place to me) I more than likely roll by here to get a small smoothie. I love the low calorie Blueberry Pineapple. That thing is amazing. Good flavor and not overly sweet. My wife digs the smoothies here also. They have been in the spot for quite some time so you know they are doing something right. Only complaint is there is usually only one person working. If the line is more than 2 people your going to wait. And I mean wait!!!! I swear they only have one blender going at a time and take their sweet ass time. But I guess its the "good things come to those that wait" but can we move a little quick people! CHEERS!!!! read more

Usually good smoothies, but I'm dropping down some stars for really bad customer service on my last visit. Make sure they repeat your order to you. Bad communication. read more
