Not being a juice or smoothie person (I fail to see the point when an actual piece of organic fruit is a mere couple of coins at the grocery store), it took me a while to get down to try Nekter. We went for a sweet treat when we realized they have vegan ice cream. The Chocolate Bliss was the right balance between bitter and sweet, to my taste, and the Coconut Vanilla was good but a little bland l, at least after bites of the much richer chocolate. Judging the flavor and consistency of the frozen treats alone, I would rate it very highly, but what brings down my score is the price. $4.25 for a small scoop plus $1 for toppings borders on absurd. Due to the price, I couldn't justify becoming a regular, but we enjoyed our one and only Nekter tasting.
Hello,
I’ve been to other Nekter stores and I feel that the bowls at the Redlands location are under filled! Today I got a bowl that was delicious, but even though I had the blueberries blended in the smoothie base of the bowl it was still less than I would have received at other stores! I like Nekter’s bowls, they just need to be filled more at this store.

Donna Gonzalez, thank you so much for your kind review! Stay tuned for additional seasonal offerings for Skoop. Can't wait to see you again soon!
I'm an avid customer to Nekter Juice Bar in Southern California and go to my local Nekter typically 3 times a week. I recently visited the Nekter Juice Bar in Las Vegas and had a terrible experience. Due to this, I really want to sing my praise for this location in Redlands. The staff their are friendly, always greeting you when you walk in and out. Since I frequently visit this location, many of the staff know me by name, which I am thankful for. Additionally, they make the BEST bowls, smoothies, and juices! I have been to many other Southern California locations and hands down the best menu items are made here. Even if I'm in Orange County for work I'll wait until I get close to home (I live in Running Springs, near Big Bear) to go to this location. Again, very thankful for their customer service and friendliness at this location.

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.
