Got the Raspberry Riot smoothie and it was amazing! Really refreshing and not heavy. Fun little place with tons of good-looking smoothies and bowls.

Nektar is such an amazing discovery! As someone with autoimmune issues who loves working out and struggles to get enough protein, this place is a lifesaver. Everything is prepared perfectly and I've been going for over a year - quality has stayed consistent. Every visit there's something new on the menu, which is awesome. They offer agave instead of regular sweetener, different protein options, and tons of juices. The shop is always incredibly clean and the team is always courteous. There's a cute seating area, great music, and a little space for kids to color. My favorite smoothies are PB&J, Blueberry almond butter, and Raspberry riot. These are perfect to grab when I'm working and don't have time for a full meal. Thank you so much!

I've been going to this location for almost 2 years now. I go about 3-4x a week, to the point where the employees/manager know me on a first name basis. Majority of them are AMAZING, and it's always nice having small talk. However, the bowls and smoothies are extremely inconsistent in portion sizes AND thickness/watery. It literally has the same consistency as the juices. I usually don't say anything, because I don't want to ruffle any feathers. However, today I spoke up about a bowl that I always get, being VERY EMPTY and juice like texture. When I politely asked if there was a standard measurement, or if they could possibly remake it, the girl (which I'm assuming is newer) was very rude. You could tell she was upset about doing her job. She was working the day shift, glasses and tattoos (1pm on 3/30). Mind you, the bowl is about $16, which is fine, but with that price I expect consistency. It has gotten so bad that I try to only go in when specific staff members are present. It's unfortunate because mostly everyone is great, but it only takes a few bad apples to ruin the bunch. Every location , except Maricopa is consistently great. Based on other reviews, I see that the consistency in portions and taste has been experienced by many.

Never been let down by the quality or consistency of my orders. The app gave me some trouble - wouldn't process my payment. Did the same thing 3 times and it worked on attempt three. Other than that, adding almond butter to any bowl or smoothie takes it up several notches.

Really good smoothies, staff are friendly. Management is really poor. It’s really rough to watch customers take their frustration out on the employees when they are clearly understaffed. 10AM , long list of orders and people waiting, no manager there to help.
Everytime I order the protein coffee smoothie there’s hardly any coffee in there. It always taste so bland so they need to readjust their recipe. But everything else there is great. When I asked why my drink tasted different than the previous time the lady said she would remake it. So maybe the owners need to adjust the recipe because all I taste is the protein powder which is really sad when you’re paying 15 bucks ish for a drink.

Gabriela, We're delighted to hear about your experience! It is truly touching to know you think so highly of us! We hope to become one of your favorites. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
It was very clean inside, everything was priced, so it was easy to see what we would pay for what we wanted. Friendly service as well. It was so nice to have somewhere to go that didn't have smoothies made out of tons of extra sugar. I had limited ingredients that I could have that day so finding a smoothie that was so delicious and still fell into those guidelines was wonderful.
