Hi Rebecca! Thank you so much for choosing to share your positive experience! We appreciate the kind words and support. It's been so heartwarming to serve so many local & repeat customers on a daily basis. Can't believe it's been only 2 months since we opened. Anyhow, we look forward to seeing you again very soon! All the best.
Over priced, I ordered 2 small smoothies and paid 18$. Waited almost 20 minutes, finally got the smoothies and as soon I got in my car I realized they had the consistency of a milk shake. It's a shame such a new place like this is poorly managed.

Salvo, We want to thank you for taking the time to give feedback about your recent experience. The functional smoothie you selected, PB HealthNut, is a thicker smoothie. It is made with our housemade cashew milk, creamy peanut better, and protein. It is also considered a premium smoothie & priced higher (8.25) than our superfood smoothies. I'm sorry we didn't have the opportunity to discuss your preferences when you ordered, as our goal is to make something you love! You can also create your own smoothie, as everything is hand-crafted and made fresh to your order. Hope to help you find a favorite! Please do not hesitate to reach out: [email protected] in the future. Best!
Love my smoothies and bowls. The staff is so friendly.. it’s a great place to hang out at !!

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!
Extremely long wait times and staff is very disorganized. They just opened so it makes sense but still need to get it together. Waited 30 min for a smoothie and juice. Smoothies and juices are okay

First time at Nektar and it blew my expectations away! Such a cool little vibe, friendly owners & workers, and the smoothie I got was great! Highly recommend the Cold Brew, so smooth and not overpowering coffee taste! Will for sure be a regular at this spot. Great addition to Barrington!

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.

i ordered a smoothie and it took 40 minutes to make and the smoothie was literally the consistency of water it tasted like water with food coloring and chemicals and calories it was not good at all but I know they just opened up so i’ll cut them slack and give them 2 stars instead of 1

Hi Aria. I'm sorry you did not enjoy your complimentary drink. The smoothie you selected is a sweeter smoothie for sure! The organic coconut water sweetens the organic dragon fruit, which when ripe, has a sweet flavor often described as a blend of pear and kiwi. We only use real ingredients. Next time we can blend a smoothie for you with a thicker base like our house-made cashew milk. It may be a better taste & consistency for your liking. Always happy to help answer any questions. Thanks for coming in on opening day and blessed to have served you.
