Smoothie reviews · Nekter Juice Bar - Edina

It’s located in Kowalskis. I personally had a not great experience overall. The bowl I received was soupy despite eating it within 2 minutes of receiving it and ordering it in-person. They followed my requests correctly though, and were not rude. The smoothie wasn’t anything special, and the strawberry protein smoothie wasn’t particularly tasty for the $10 I spent on it before tax and tip. I also had a discount for a promo code off a smoothie when I bought another item. I tried to get the code to work in the app (which is where it was supposed to work). I followed all the rules for size and item, and couldn’t get the discount to apply. After being frustrated about the experience, I decided to go in-person to see if they would honor the discount. They told me that even though I had spent 20 minutes trying to get the code to work in the app, that I just had to try harder because I wouldn’t get any discount unless I could get it to work in the app. Overall, not a great experience and I would recommended Nautical Bowls as a better alternative since they seem to have better flavors, consistency, deals, service, an intuitive ordering experience online and in person, and customer support for problems.

Honestly the food is great. I’ve liked everything I’ve had before. The service is really inefficient. I’ve been in line multiple times and it takes 15-20 minutes even when there aren’t a lot of people waiting. I even ordered ahead 20 minutes once and it wasn’t started when I got there for pick up. It’s hard to recommend when it takes so long to get anything. I don’t have issues with other vendors in Southdale or in kowalskis or really at other smoothie establishments.

I came here for a protein smoothie this Am and the smoothie was great. It was strawberry banana protein. I saw it made fresh in front of and the customer service was alright. A little pricey but not if you’re familiar with Edina and high quality food/drink. It was worth the money in my opinion. It was $10 for a small smoothie. I will definitely be back!

I ordered a small Popeye’s Açai smoothie. The staff was friendly and the location was excellent. I’m only giving three stars because of the time it took to receive my order. It took 12 minutes from the time I paid until my smoothie was ready. Given there was only one order ahead of mine (a bowl of some sort) and that there were three staff members on, 12 minutes felt a little long – especially for an early Monday afternoon. Also, the smoothie tasted primarily of banana which was a little disappointing as it called out açai as a primary ingredient.

Best options for smoothies and fruit bowls. I recommend ordering online 15 minutes ahead. Items are made fresh and quality takes time! Pickup only took 2 minutes once I arrived. Only had to wait for one person in front of me.
