Smoothie reviews · Nekter Juice Bar - Highlands Ranch

I have frequented the Greenwood Village location countless times, and I just moved to highlands ranch with such excitement to find a Nekter right by us. Unfortunately not all Nekters are created equally. The last time, we were ignored by the staff for 10 minutes while they tended to online orders. Not even a “hold on I’ll be right with you.” The staff member taking our order, and preparing orders, had their mask down past their nose. Nobody was in front of us, and it took 40 minutes to get a smoothie and a bowl. Both times the health nut has been a let down in taste and texture. The worst customer service, public health, and taste that I’ve experienced at Nekter.

I've given this place 2 tries now. Both times I've walked out with a smoothie that tastes like almond milk blended with ice and that's it. I think they've got issues with their blenders or are not freezing the fruit correctly because they seem to have to put so much almond milk in them and yet they're still jamming the stir paddle into the blender the entire time it's mixing trying to get it to blend. I guess next time I would try a bowl, but I probably won't be going again so as not to risk wasting another $8 for a watered down product.

You know that water with strawberries and blueberries floating in it? That's what my banana-berry-something smoothie tasted like. Pretty much like water wishing it could be something else. What a waste of money.

Love Nekter and this new location is a beautiful, clean store. The owner and staff are very friendly and well trained. Place your order online ahead of time and avoid the wait time in line. It takes time to make Acai bowls, smoothies fresh so just know that’s the reason for a slight wait. So good and healthy!

They are relatively new at this location, so take that into consideration reading this. I have been in about 10 times. I live and own a business in the area. The concept is great, however execution and value is lacking. Each time I have been in regardless of if there were 3 people in line or just me. They have been Painfully slow! A smoothie should not take 20-25 minutes to blend! EveryTime! When order arrives, almost always the cup is not filled to the top. Approx 2-3 oz of my 12-18 oz ($12) smoothie was missing. And/ or the cup was dripping from the over pour onto the table/ floor and person delivering it seemed in Livonia or uncaring. Staff seemed scattered, untrained, caring or motivated. Overpriced, sloppy, Slow—. won’t be returning.

Was a bit of a wait, but got two smoothie bowls that tasted and looked sooo good, so it was worth it! Staff is really nice too!
