The employees could care less that I was there, 2 female employees didn't even know we were there as they were in the back laughing and when they finally realized we were there they did not greet us. The smoothie was far from any standards, no flavor and the employee could care less while making it, throwing it on the counter and walking away. First time here and will never be back.

I came to this location on June 6, 2026. The time was around 830pm their were 2 employees. One of them was mopping and acted like no one came in. Another employee came out from the back and both employees got frustrated because I came in to buy something. Not one of them asked if I was buying something. I left without a smoothie because of the bad experience. Very bad experience at this location, very rude employees. I had a choice before anyone closed between smoothie king and nektar and I chose the wrong one.

My smoothies are always great. They taste great and fresh and the service is super fast and the people are nice.

I’d give five stars but you can’t pay enough to make your employees care. You can’t staff appropriately to deliver a quality, consistent product. You might as well close. I received a horrible smoothie from your location and emailed in immediately. No response.

Ridiculously overpriced. 12 bucks for a medium smoothie. Never again.

Not welcoming. Took too long to be acknowledged by staff. I can see the person making smoothies/drinks but another member stepped up and just ignored us until she realized I had not been helped.

I just paid 13.50 for a very boring and flavorless smoothie served by people with virtually no service skills. this place is awesome

Nekter Juice Bar at Tempe Marketplace is my go‑to for fresh smoothies and acai bowls! They blend whole fruits and superfood bases into favorites like Blueberry Almond Butter or Pink Flamingo, and you can add protein or vitamin boosts. Everything tastes clean and healthy. The staff are friendly, the shop is bright and tidy, and they even have reliable Wi‑Fi if you want to sit and relax. Convenient hours and a great spot to stop before or after shopping, highly recommend!
