Açaí bowl reviews · Nekter Juice Bar - Redlands

kinda disappointed, bought a bowl and bit into a bunch of frozen hunks.

I've been here twice with two very different experiences. Both times I came because I got a coupon in the mail for a free 12oz drink. The place looks really nice and hip, and right when you walk in you smell fruits and vegetables. My first experience: The employees were really friendly. I asked the girl at the register what drink she recommended for me, and she gave me four recommendations. I ended up going with the first smoothie on the menu - the berry banana burst. It was good! Just what you'd expect from the name, and you could tell it was healthier than typical smoothies, like those from Jamba Juice that have ice cream in them. I also tried a sample of toxin flush, as it was sitting there. THAT tasted healthy! I don't think I could have drank a whole 12 oz of it, but it was nice experiencing the sample-size cup. My second experience: I got the Valentine's Day smoothie. It was alright, but I'd recommend the berry banana WAY more. My husband got Popeye's Acai. That was definitely NOT worth it. It's in the smoothie category, but it was so watery it should have been in the juice category. It tasted healthy, but had very little flavor to it. If I had only had this experience at Nektar and not another experience prior to it, I would never have gone back. I do have to add: They're ridiculously overpriced. The 12 oz drinks cost $6.
