Robeks

I love this place but because of poor customer service I won’t come back here anymore. My husband was sitting on a table beside the entrance and a Filipina lady who’s on shift that after noon 4:10pm January 26,2016 told my husband rudely that «you cannot sit there «why you put the table
There and chair if customers cannot sit? And he ask for a cup of water she’s like making a face too? I’m so disappointed. I’m a Filipino and I know Filipinos are nice and hardworking but I think she made an exemption on how she handles customers!

Robeks has lots to choose from and I’m happy to see they use real fruit and offer non-​dairy milk.
They also have yummy vegan cookies, protein bars, and other snacks by the register.
The employees are always so friendly and very helpful.

I come here almost every day to get my smoothie or acai bowl fix!
My favorite smoothies are the «awesome acai» & the «hummingbird» :)
Acai bowls are more like a acai sorbet… not like a «fresh» acai bowl. Plus they pre-​make /​pre-​scoop and freeze them in their to-​go containers already I guess for faster service. still good! But don’t expect a freshly made acai bowl. expect it frozen. Keep it out at room temperature for a while to have it thaw out.
The guy & lady (I’m guessing the managers/​owners) are always very nice and polite. But the other younger girl workers need better customer service. There was a new girl working today at the register and didn’t say a word except my total to me. And the girl that had my acai bowl ready didn’t say anything besides what my acai bowl was. I said thank you, but no reply back either. Idk if it’s because they’re shy? Or what but they are ALL like that. I would expect people to be working at a smoothie place, especially girls to be more friendly. If they were, this place would have 5 stars :)

If you’re craving one of the best smoothies on the island, Robeks is the answer. It very closely resembles Jamba Juice, but in my opinion Robeks has a menu and taste that is superior. If Robeks came along around the same time Jamba did, Robeks would be the dominant smoothie store on the island. The store is usually in great condition in regards to cleanliness. The menu is a bit busy, so take your time while selecting. There is a smoothie for everyone at Robeks, and if you don’t like a particular aspect of a smoothie, just ask to substitute it for something else! My favorite smoothie of all time is Robek’s hummingbird smoothie. Just perfection!
On to the Robeks trump card: their acai smoothies/​bowls. From the first time I tried their acai in 2006 until now, Robeks remains the best acai on the island. I highly recommend anything with acai on the menu.
This place is a just a tad more expensive than other similar smoothie places, but the quality of the smoothie you get is more than worth it. Try it!!!

Conveniently located at pearl ridge uptown near target.
I’ve heard that this place had good acai bowls, so since I was at pearl ridge, I decided to go bad try one.
The prices are pretty reasonable, you get to choose from three different sizes.
All the bowls have granola, banana, strawberry and blueberries.
The times that I went, it wasn’t too busy and got my acai bowl in a matter minutes. I think the acai is pre-​made because when served it looks like scoops of ice cream. But overall I like taste and freshness of the fruits.

The best acai on island.
Organic too!
Fresh squeezed juices as well — no complaints!

Favorite place to get my acai fix. First couple times here I would get their acai bowl but I noticed that their acai energizer is around the same price so now I just get that. Seems much more worth it!

Yummy! Fresh juice fix in the middle of shopping! Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because they took a while to take my order and there was NO line. So I kinda stood there for a few minutes just waiting on someone to acknowledge me. But when they did they apologized. Not a deal breaker. Tried the Sweet Green: kale, celery, apple and spinach. Awesome! Perfectly refreshing. Their Blueberry Walnut breakfast bar was good too! This is a nice change from your typical soda pitstop when thirsty.

Price wise this place is a bit higher than Jamba Juice but their smoothies are consistently blended without any particles of ice. What I most enjoy is their Acai’ energizer! I suggest to opt for this is you want natural caffeine but not the amount that is found in coffee-​based smoothies. It is really good and I don’t enjoy yogurt or soy normally and I was happy to find out that their acai energizer has apple juice as it’s base.
They do promise that they do not use any additives or preservatives which is a HUGE PLUS!
Customer service is on point! This morning I went in and I was not sure if they were open bc walked in and they were still prepping their acai bowls. However, the co-​owner was sweet to greet me and take my order. She also remembered me and my order from last time.
So if you are trying to enjoy a fruit smoothie or breakfast bars (the blueberry one is the best) then check this place out!

Unilocal 100 Review Challenge 2015: ⁷⁸⁄₁₀₀
Located in Pearlridge Mall, bottom floor by TJMaxx, is Robeks. It’s been there for years but every time I’ve craved smoothies or Acai Bowls I would head over to Jamba Juice. After my most recent encounter with a watery, bland Acai Bowl from Jamba, I decided to try Robeks out.
They have clean, cute tables to sit on in the mall & friendly workers to take your order. I got their Energy Acai Bowl for ~$ 6.59. Not only is it beautifully presented but it was also delicious! There is definitely a good amount of honey in their Acai bowl that gives it the right amount of sweetness! It’s a good deal for the price and I will definitely visit again when I am craving an Acai Bowl on a hot summer day in Pearl City.

I was craving something fresh so I headed to Robeks. They have a nice selection of smoothies, juices, and bowls. I ordered a Tropi-​Kale, pineapple and kale, which was really good and is sweet-​tart like a granny smith apple. I would definitely suggest Robeks for a pick-​me-​up whenever you are in the mall.

I’ve been on an acai kick lately so I stopped at Robek’s to pick up a quick lunch to-​go. I didn’t expect anything special and when I saw the counterperson take out from the freezer a ready made acai bowl (without the fresh fruits) I thought, well, at least it will last the car ride back to the office.
Did I mention I’m pretty new to acai bowls? I’ve had maybe 4 my entire life; this one being number 5. So I didn’t know what to make of it when I had my first taste and the texture was much different than the ones I had previously. Robeks uses organic acai sorbet for their acai bowls so the texture is waaaayyy creamier. Like ice cream! Which I LOVE!!!
My next thought was, crap, if it tastes this good it must be loaded with calories. I googled high and low and the most calories I found was under 300 for a 12 oz size. It’s probably still loaded with sugar, but I can let that slide.
Service was quick and I liked that the acai bowls come in a variety of sizes. Will definitely be back!

You know when you’re in the middle of nowhere and everywhere else has really good mom and pop restaurants that make A-​mazing acai bowls, well Robeks is a good suffice for an acai bowl fix.
EVERY TIME I GO HERE, it really wasn’t until the last time I went there that I didn’t ask for honey. Their acai is already pretty sweet that they just don’t believe in adding more of the buzzing bee honey goodness to their bowls. So when I ask for honey, they tell me it costs extra and they don’t pour it on there for you, they come on the side like it’s a dipping sauce. I just want my acai bowls to be drowned in honey with yummy granola and if they allow it, bee pollen — that stuffs the best, but they don’t do that here.
Although if you are craving that acai goodness with granola and fresh fruit, Robeks is the place for you.
Also, if you work in the mall, they don’t give you a discount.

Pearlridge is such a maze to me. There are «Phases» and «Uptown”/“Downtown», plus a monorail — uhg! …so confusing. I need a map! So, when I drove around and I saw Robeks (weird name that stuck in my head), I had to stop and get a smoothie!
I had read reviews by Cathy T., Eric Robert, Marni T. and Jozlyn H. I trust these Yeeps, so I knew I wouldn’t be wasting my time or money. It was a hot day and I hadn’t eaten anything yet, but was in a rush, so it was all good timing and luck!
There were so many items to choose from, so I decided to get the drink that sounded the worst, and if it tasted good, everything should be better, right? I needed good nutrition, so I picked the kale, spinach, and peach combination. Wow. It was GREAT! It was smooth — not gritty! It had good flavor — not bitter! Excellent!
I will be back to try other combinations — if I can find the place again (haha)! The parking was convenient and free! The staff were efficient and helpful! There was hardly any wait time — I watched them prepare everything = FRESH! The shop was clean, bright, and colorful! And best of all, my tummy was happy, my mind was guilt-​free, and my spirit was healthy!

Pro’s
–haven’t had a bad drink here yet (believe I’ve had seven drinks here so far)
–staff is polite
–prices are ok
–place is always tidy
–timely service
Cons
–performance drinks not available in small size
I am pleased with this place and wont hesitate to go when i want a drink.
NOTE: I haven’t tried their bowls

I wish they had more locations.
I came here for the first time this week, even though it’s been in Pearlridge for years. I decided to try the Emperor Acai smoothie with Greek yogurt and the junior acai bowl with fresh fruit. I was not all that impressed with the junior acai bowl. It was a TINY little bowl that wasn’t filled to the very top. It’s really meant for little kids or just for someone who wants a little sampler, but with it almost being $ 5, I wish I had just opted for a regular sized acai bowl. Also, I found the acai sorbet to be almost too sweet. =/​
As for the Emperor Acai smoothie, that is something I would come back for. I feel the smoothies are really reasonably priced, and they seem to be a bit healthier than what Jamba Juice offers. I definitely want to come back, but not for the acai bowl.

First impression?
Typical mall smoothie bar. No greeting. Small selection.
My first impression lasted for a minute!
I like this «healthy» alternative in the middle of Uptown (Uptown Girl– Billy Joel) Pearlridge! I’m a fan of…
ROBEKS’!
A place named after Reebok & Robot or what? Who knows… What I do know is it’s been around since 1996 and I’m sure the menu has been tweaked through the nearly two decades! Two decades? Wow! Yet, I’m not sure when this one popped up at Uptown, or do I recall ever stepping my foot inside. Maybe? Maybe a decade ago? Idk. What I do know is this place is a tad above average and here’s why…
ROBEKS’ HAS HEALTHY OPTIONS:
Yup, that’s a bonus at a mallrat mall, too! From real fruit juices to those grass green blended drinks — it’s here! Of course, you have the somewhat unhealthy smoothies too, but heck at least you’re taking in some nutritional value!
ROBEKS’ HAS PRETTY DECENT ACAI BOWLS:
The first time here (I think) and I got the Acai Bowl. I just had a healthy breakfast elsewhere, so came here in anticipation of the juices, but when I saw the photos of the Acai Bowl here and the myriad of size choices! Heck! A mini Acai w/​Fruit looked perfect as an after breakfast snack! Yes… It’s small. Very small, but it’s packed well and sometimes us muscle-​heads don’t want a full 10lbs of Acai! My mini Acai w/​Fruit came with a scoop & half of Acai (ice cream texture), maybe a quarter of apple banana, slices of a single strawberry, several blueberries, a pinch or two of granola, and I believe a tad of honey. Oh btw… It was fresh and delicious!
ROBEKS’ HAS COMPETITIVE PRICES:
The prices are on par with similar smoothie/​juice bars. I mean I paid under $ 5 for my mini Acai! How many places can you say you plopped down a Lincoln and got a bowl of goodness! Yes… It’s small, but it’s very good! I noticed the smoothies and juices were competitive with the like of Jamba, etc. So, I was pleased with that!
So yes, I recommend…
ROBEKS’!
A place with a funny name in the middle of a suburban mall. No, it’s not designer like Diamond Head Cove Health Bar or über cheap like Da Spot, but when you consider it’s location and competition in the area, you’ll appreciate this pretty decent healthy alternative tucked away at a mainstream mall. Not a purist Acai bowl per se, but rather a Hawaiiankine-​sorbet version… Still very good! So, If ever stuck in Uptown I’ll drop by again, but hope next time I bump into Miley Cyrus, Debbie Gibson, Christie Brinkley, or Mr. Uptown himself, Mr. Billy Joel… Hey, you never know who might be a mallrat…

Unilocal REVIEW #388

This review is only on the super acai bowl. I’ve never tried anything else from there.
There are lots of different ways to make an acai bowl. I’ve tried many of them from different places, both local and chains. The acai bowl from Robeks is my favorite so far. Part because I prefer frozen over fresh acai because I hate mushy and melty, and the flavor is consistent. Not overly sweet one day, and bitter or sour the next. I love that it’s sorbet. If you like fresh blended acai, perhaps this isn’t the place for you. The only CON for me would be the limited fruit toppings. Banana, blueberry and strawberry are favorites. But I do love having other fruits such as coconut, watermelon, etc on my bowls. My daughter and I fought over the last little bit, which was still nice and frozen to the very bottom of the bowl! My daughter already told me the next time we go back, she wants her own.

I was just not impressed by the hyped acai bowl here. It’s more like ice cream and tastes more like ice cream. Overly sweet for my taste as well. I don’t think I’ll be back for a bowl here.
On the plus side, if you like their acai bowls, they offer a great variety of sizes. I don’t care how other places usually offer one size — sometimes you just need a small snack!
Conveniently located in Pearlridge across from Moe’s near Ross and TJ Maxx side.

The BEST acai bowl on the island! Don’t listen to the other guys… seriously!
What makes Robek’s acai bowl the best… Try it… and YOU tell me. Seriously.
For me, I like the consistency of their acai., it’s like ice cream… but better. I am not sure why there is such a craze over the gooey, slimy, melty, mushy stuff that ever one goes crazy for… Robeks isn’t like that at all.
Anyone reading this review that goes and tries Robeks acai bowl, message me and tell me if I was right. :)
Also, Robeks makes FRESH squeezed juices and smoothies. Not the high calorie sugar loaded kind that jamba has. They have cucumber coolers, a beet juice, carrot juice, etc. soooooooooo yummy! and soooooooo healthy!!!
