Emerald City Smoothie

This place is the best! The staff are friendly and the menu has every option you could think of for smoothies. I can’t not stop by when I’m near the place.

I work in the area and the days where I’m in a hurry and can’t grab lunch I always run here for a nutty banana smoothie to fill me up. The staff is always very friendly and chatty, making it a pleasure to go in. The smoothies are always delicious with the nutty banana being my particular favorite as it is delicious and very filling.

This place used to be great. I moved to Seattle and come up here once a year and it’s not what it used to be. I just stood in line for 15 mins while the manager just stood there staring at the line. Then he decided to casually go down the street to get rolled coins from the bank and leave the one obviously new young kid alone.
Then I pay $ 9 for a smoothie. I always get the Raspberry Dream with banana and caffeine. Its always good enough that I don’t care about the price. This one sucks. Like there is no raspberries in it. Bland.

I was up in Bellingham doing some training and needed something protein packed for a long day ahead — This location is inside the complex where the new Whole Foods is going to be. I wish them serious luck to stay put, even though WF usually has a smoothie bar of its own. I consider Emerald City’s product to be superior and more of a true health/​work out/​gym rat menu.
It’s a franchises with 40+ stores, I know, but I love the Just Peachy and the Nutty Banana ones. I also love how, on their website, you can choose a wellness goal and it will match the smoothie with that goal.
This is a regular stop for me when I’m around, and I might even fight the parking lot craziness that is sure to ensue just to frequent them!

Pretty good. The girls at the counters always seem to be happy to help me save money.
They have FDA approved pea-​based whey protein that they sell here which is a plus. They are very willing to accommodate customized shakes. Compared to the amount of protein you get spending the same amount of money elsewhere, this place is hands down much better.
I will be visiting this place a lot in the summer.

Normally I like emerald city smoothie, I’ve been to Seattle and Tumwater locations and they keep things consistent with recipes and being upfront about what they’re putting in your smoothie. Typically you order a smoothie off the board of choices– and they make additions or substitutions and I’m a happy girl. However, I came to the lakeway one– ordered my usual– the PB & J– and I got the most disgusting tasting smoothie I’ve ever had. Even though it mentions blueberries in the ingredients on the board, they didn’t put any in. They added powdered milk without telling me, a sugary over processed shot of b-​12… And added a boat load of peanut butter. When I asked why it tasted so different they said the owner of that specific franchise wanted to keep things «original» so he secretly has his employees add powdered milk and a shot of b-​12 to all the smoothies. I found that extremely deceptive for those with lactose/​vegan concerns. I asked other emerald city smoothie places if this was standard procedure and all said this was not ok. Not sure what’s up with this place… Make sure you watch them make your food and ask questions!

I went into this shop looking for a protein shake for my son who is a very picky eater. I was hoping to find a healthy breakfast shake to get his morning off on the right start since he isn’t willing to eat many things. The owner was very helpful and was willing to let my son sample the shake.
They have a ton of different protein drinks and health supplements so it is definitely worth visiting this store. I really liked the great customer service.

This place really is hidden but amazing. If you love your body and want to be in better health or shape you have to try it. There smoothies are good priced and amazing. The vitamins and supplements they sell are great priced and quality. The girls seem to know whats on their shelf and have samples if your interested in trying a product. the smoothie you dream of making and drinking for a meal you can find here. Healthy and need I say YUM! Check this place out for lots of B12 vitamins, Shake Mixes and Smoothies! Waaayy better than Robeks or any other smoothie in town.

I’ve been coming here religiously for about 6 years. I’ve since moved to Seattle, and have always missed this one. I’ve never had any complaints about the service, and I love that they carry spirulina as a supplement. Most of the ECS branches don’t…
This is and always will be one of my first stops whenever I come back to Bellingham…
