Hi Nicki, Thank you! It warms our hearts hearing you had a 5-star experience at our location and took the time to share your positive review. We truly appreciate that. We're here for you anytime and look forward to seeing you in our store regularly! Thank you again from our family to yours!
We had a great experience getting lunch at Nekter. I say "lunch" because, while perhaps more known for smoothies, the bowls at Nekter are delicious and pretty filling. Mine was a blend of fruit, peanut butter, and other ingredients, topped with granola and fruit.
There are a few places to sit, but you shouldn't rely on this during peak times (after school gets out, or nice weather on weekends). Lots of people order ahead and/or take it to go. It takes probably about 10 minutes for your order if they're busy, so be ready for that. Recommended for a snack or even a light meal.

Hi Jonathan! Thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're happy to know that you've had a great visit and "lunch" with us and look forward to your next visit. We will have outdoor seating coming soon!
Quality isn't worth the price. Also the prices at this store are insane. Not sure why a bowl from Nekter in Illinois is more expensive than the Santa Monica store on the beach or why it's twice as expensive as a different brand in Austin, TX.

Hi Zach, Thank you for your feedback. As a small family owned business, we agree with you at the shock of rising costs of goods for quality products nationwide. Unfortunately, the is not just happening here in IL. However, we promise, as your local Nekter, to continue to offer quality products amid these difficult economic times.
Ive been there twice and both times my bowls have been amazing! I ordered ahead and when I came to pick up my bowl it was ready to go! So much flavor and kept me full all day long. Cant wait to try them again. Great job and we wish you all the best success!

I ordered a dragon fruit bowl and was so surprised at how big the bowl was. The fruit was so fresh and arranged really nice on top. I loved the granola and the coconut flakes! Definitely big enough for a meal and sooooo yummy! I highly recommend checking Nekter out!

Smoothies and bowls are amazing! I keep craving them and coming back for more. The owner is extremely nice and it is super kid friendly. My kids love playing the ticTacToe games, puzzles, and coloring. This has become our new favorite spot.
