After months of being a near-daily customer, I will no longer give this location my business. I consistently ordered the Protein Power Bowl with cocoa powder and spinach, spending roughly $18 with tip. As a regular customer, I experienced inconsistent preparation and increasingly skimpy portions, feeling like I was receiving less and less for what I was paying—sometimes very little fruit, missing or minimal toppings, and bowls substantially less full than I expected for the price. I’ve included Nékter’s online menu listing alongside photos of a recent bowl I received for comparison. I repeatedly raised concerns about the portions and consistency and even offered to pay more for a fuller bowl. Instead of working toward a solution, I was repeatedly met with “that’s policy,” given the impression that nothing could be done, and ultimately referred back to management. What ended my business here was how the manager handled my concerns. When I firmly expressed that I was unhappy receiving what I considered an unacceptably small bowl for nearly $20, the manager indicated that employees were uncomfortable serving me and did not like when I came in because I pushed back about the portions and asked for what I believed was fair for what I was paying. I found that response inappropriate and hostile. I was a regular paying customer expressing dissatisfaction with what I was receiving, and I expected my concerns to be addressed professionally rather than being personally criticized for raising them. On another occasion, the manager was speaking so loudly while training an employee that I chose to wait outside in the heat and eat elsewhere because I found the environment uncomfortable. This has not been my experience with Nékter overall. I’ve visited multiple Nékter locations throughout the Valley and received fuller, more consistently prepared bowls and much better customer service. I continued coming here because it was convenient and close to my home. My personal recommendation is to go to a different Nékter location. For what these bowls cost, I expect consistency in the product and respectful customer service. Unfortunately, I did not receive that here.

As u yourself said- months of being a customer. You have abused my staff for MONTHS. Rude, bullying comments to get them to get you up charged items for free. We can not allow u free items and modifications. U are pissed that we are saying NO. I invite you to spend your money elsewhere and stop harassing my staff. And for anyone actually reading this- you modify your bowl to look that way with extra greens and cocoa powder with no granola.

It’s been awhile since I have been to Nekter but everything tastes great! I forgot how refreshing the bowls and drinks are during a hot summer day so I will come back more often.

Smoothies are delicious, and they allow you to add ingredients. Also MAKE YOUR OWN ACAI BOWLS!

We enjoy the açaí bowls and come in 1-2 times a week. There are times the store is understaffed and the wait is a bit long. Every staff a person is cordial and professional

Bowl was great! However it would be nice if you made a small size as well as the regular. They are speedy & a lot. And are not really saveable

All went well. Just be sure to fill the containers to the top. Your customers pay plenty of money for a bowl and deserve to get their monies worth. Don’t you think?

I've always enjoyed the acai bowls I've ordered at this and other Nekter locations but for some reason, today's order fell short of expectations. It was not as flavorful and somewhat "soupy", even though it had just been made while I waited, after placing my order from the car outside. I'll consider it a one-off for now.

Protein Bowl was super watered down and hard to eat.

The service is always good but the health nut had no flavor and the protein bowl had less product than the Nekter on Via De Ventura

Kind staff, but received the wrong order. Did not realize until after I had left. It was a PB bowl instead of superfood. Can’t eat PB.
