Smoothie reviews · Nekter Juice Bar - South Pasadena

Stopped by to grab a smoothie, but when I walked in, an employee told me they were actually closed because the previous person had forgotten to lock the doors after leaving. I appreciated the employee letting me know what happened, but it wasn't a great first impression. I ended up going next door to Winchell's and got a smoothie there instead. Hopefully this was just a one-time mistake, because it's frustrating to make the trip only to find the store wasn't actually open.

I love Nekter, and the employee taking my order was friendly and doing her best, but the store was clearly understaffed this morning. There was only one person taking orders and preparing the food, which led to a very long wait. During the 30 minutes we were waiting, I saw at least four customers walk in, see the line, and leave without ordering. Waiting over 30 minutes for a smoothie bowl is simply too long. The smoothie bowl was good and the employee was kind throughout the experience, which is why I’m giving 3 stars instead of 1. Please staff your store properly! I would not have stayed if I had known the wait would be over 30 minutes.

Pretty stoked to see this new Nekter Juice Bar in South Pasadena! I absolutely love the healthy menu variety they have to offer in terms of juices, Açaí bowls and smoothies. The staff was really friendly and I even had the opportunity to meet the owner, Raymond, and learned more about the opening at this location. The place is perfect to pop-in, easy street access off of Fair Oaks; it is clean, there's cool wooden benches to sit on while waiting for your order. This will definitely be our go-to location when we need a healthy option on the go!

Love their pb&j smoothie

Needed something other than cashew milk. Also I wanted a protein smoothie and I didn't get any protein powder

Staff is friendly and the smoothies are amazing!!! :)

Ordered a smoothie and waffles. The drink was fantastic and the waffles were too. Seriously recommend the banana waffles with all the toppings

If you love fresh, feel-good drinks and bowls, this is the spot. I tried: 🥞Berry Shortcake Protein Waffle – warm, fluffy, and packed with flavor 🥣Build-Your-Own Parfait – vanilla Greek yogurt, chia pudding, cacao nibs, strawberries & strawberry jam (a dream combo) 🍓Dragon Fruit Iconic Bowl – vibrant, refreshing, and Insta-worthy 🍇Raspberry Riot Smoothie – the perfect sweet-tart balance

Wonderful experience! Samiya was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive from start to finish. She really made everything seamless and inviting, and my smoothie was perfect.
