Smoothie King

This location is now closed as of January, 2016. This was the only one close to where I work and live. It was open for ten years and I went here fairly frequently. Unfortunately, the next closest one is in Lindbergh at a difficult location to get in and out of.

I stopped here after a good workout and there is a GNC right by so I was inclined to try a protein smoothie! There’s plenty of parking and the lady working there was very friendly and gave me a whole array of options I should try. She made me a HUGE, I mean HUGE smoothie for what I paid for. It was pretty good (protein smoothies can only taste so good) but for the price it was worth it.
Service was excellent, she got a fat tip and a happy customer

The location is convenient and staff polite. But I definitely prefer the people and product at Planet Smoothie.

If you don’t have an item on your menu make sure to note it especially if it is a discontinued item. People don’t mind negatives but they hate surprises

Always out of napkins. Always out of Ostrim. Ostrim’s have gone bad or been cooked. Always understaffed. A few times i have had to use the bathroom shortly after because ingredients have not been properly stored at the right temp or were just too old.

I used to come to this location all the time when the Borders was over here, but hadn’t been here in forever. We happened upon it after an evening workout, and was lucky enough to catch them before they closed. The guy helped us and was quick and helpful.

After shopping at Borders today I had a taste for a smoothie so since I got a promotional coupon in the mail I thought I would stop by Smoothie King and use it. After placing my order I went to the other counter to pay for my smoothie, I was really excited because this was one of Smoothie King’s newest menu items. After purchasing and leaving the store I tasted it and to my dismay I was not pleased at all. So I went back and let the gentleman know that had taken my order originally that I was not happy with what I ordered, I think he was the manager. I asked if I could either get my money back or pay the difference for a smoothie that I knew I would enjoy. He simply said, «no worries» and asked me what I would like instead and didn’t make me pay anything additional. He made it right away and I was more than satisfied.
I’ll surely be going back there, I couldn’t have asked for better service. Did I mention that they were very busy but still took the time to give amazing customer service… :)

We wanted to treat ourselves to a hydrating smoothie with the SK coupons that we’d gotten in the mail. We were headed south and stopped by our usual SK in Chastain Square, but there was a sign notifying us that the credit card machine was down. We could have stopped at either of the ones on Piedmont on the way south, but we were on Peachtree, not Piedmont, so we ended up at this SK off Ponce.
There was one other customer who’d already been helped (her 2 smoothies were in the blenders). The woman behind the counter took my order quickly, had my one medium Peach Slice Plus and one small Peach Slice Plus Skinny (they leave out the turbinado, so it’s less sweet and saves you 100 calories) whipped up in no time. She rang up my coupon and order and handed me the smoothies in seemingly one movement with a smile on her face. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Such efficiency!

Perfect for lunch… I’m here all the time. They haven’t given me any reason to take away stars.

Yummy!
For your pleasure, here’s list of all my favorites:
Peach Slice Plus; peaches, papaya, strawberries, soy, milk, and honey
Caribbean Way; papaya, bananas, strawberries, and honey
Banana Boat; bana… well, you can just look at the menu and find your favorite. it’ll take me all day mentioning how many favorites here I have.
Like Brittany W. says «if you want a simple smoothie do not go here» This by no chance is a holistic, earthy place. i think it try’s it’s best to be, while also being a giant corporate chain.
the smoothies are expensive, I often have to choose between lunch and a smoothie. I can say, their big ones are really big!!! [insert your own sexual innuendo]
I have gotten 4 free smoothies from all of my punches of my smoothie king card. yay me!

If you want a simple smoothie do not go here. It’s a smoothie place with crazy names and lots of ingredients. I’m glad I knew what I was in the mood for, or I would have never chose. I ordered the Hearty Apple. Funny, since I never really thought of a smoothie as hearty… It was a combination of apple juice, banana, cinnamon, honey, some kind of dairy, and few more things. The end result was very good and very sweet. I almost felt like I had a milkshake, But, the two workers were really nice and were very humorous.

Warning: smoothies are NOT a good idea for a hangover, as I initially thought they would be.

I really like it when I find nice people. Nice people work here. Today I stopped in and I wasn’t really sure what I had a taste for. I asked the associate to recommend something pink, but without any supplements. I’m not sure what the drink was named, but it was a great choice. Very peachy. Yum.
Rami was with me and he doesn’t do lactose very well and the same associate picked out a delicious non-​dairy smoothie with lots of berries. I was actually a little jealous, so I think that’s the one that I’ll have the next time I’m over there.
