Nekter Juice Bar

I was really disappointed with this place. I ordered the health nut shake for a pre-​workout meal. I thought how can you go wrong with peanut butter & banana? Boy was I wrong. After 15 minutes of waiting I was handed the worst tasting shake I have ever had. Barely a hint of banana or peanut butter. It tasted like flavorless protein powder mixed with ice. Hopefully they just made it wrong and this is not the usual product.

I love juices! Addicted to them! I tried to be apart of their reward system, but it never worked. No worries, still love it here! Love the girls at this location! All sweet friendly girls! I like all the green juices the best! More on the toxin, cleansing side and the girls always make sure I love my juice before I leave! If I’m in the mood for something «fun» I always get the pink flamingo! Mmm! So good! I usually stick wifi my greens tho hard to pass up! This location is particularly friendly, but I love all nekters I’ve been to! All great employees!:)

One of my favorite places in Arizona! The juice is fresh, the employees are knowledgeable and very nice and the whole place is very laid back. I love it!

I’m new to this great find. I’ve only been once and had the Toxin Flush. It is a wonderful blend of yummy! My next visit I have my eyes on their Acai bowls! It look great/​can’t wait!
My 2 CON’s here are: I called for business hours and the person that answered the phone, I assume couldn’t hear me so hung up quickly. I called back and she just seemed pissed off. It honestly made me feel that maybe I should pay a visit today. Kinda ruined my good energy. Also, there were 2 people working and only use there and the counters were very sticky. I get why but there were 2 employees and no customers so clean up would be appreciated.

First time and won’t be my last. Told them what generally have at home and more than helpful to guide me to first juice. Yummy. Very helpful, professional and personable.

I’ve come in a couple of times and always had positive experiences. The staff is super friendly and always makes my business feel appreciated and they make it known that they value their customers. It’s a bit pricey but I used to work at a smoothie place so I know how it works.

You can only go right with Nekter Juice Bar.
I love all their smoothies and this location is clean with excellent service! :)
Just tried Chocolate Dream for the first time and of course, loved it!

This place is awesome! I’ve been here about six times, and have gotten the «Chocolate Dream» every time. It’s so good, I haven’t wanted to try anything else. I wouldn’t say Nekter is «better» than Jamba Juice, but it’s a nice alternative. Nekter is a very solid choice in the (very small) world of smoothie places in Phoenix.

Nothing better than a healthy juice or a perfect smoothie after a great workout! Super happy to have a Nekter near my new home in my new home State of AZ :))

I am not one to EVER leave a negative review (please see for yourself under all of my reviews)… But this could not go unsaid.
I have been a longtime Nekter customer in Scottsdale; I love the Acai bowls and I’ve done their cleanses several times. However, we recently moved to Ahwatukee, and I had not frequented this specific location until this past weekend. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
I ordered a juice and a smoothie on Friday morning at 6:50am via their app and had no problem picking up my order right after 7am when they opened. The gentleman who helped me on Friday was friendly and had my order ready to go!
However, on Saturday morning when I decided to do the same thing, I was greeted by a guy (no, not a gentleman like I had dealt with the day before) who was utterly annoyed and angry to be there. Red flag #1. When I said I had a pick up order for Amy, he walked away and came back with a single juice, yet not the smoothie I had ordered as well. I told him that I had also ordered a smoothie to which he VERY rudely replied «No you didn’t»… Okay, 2^nd red flag. So I showed him my online receipt and he walked away mumbling something to his buddy in the back and laughing without saying one word to me. Really? When he came back up, I asked if they had made it or if they still needed to make it, to which he replied «do you see it in the blender yet?»
I saw what looked like a manager watching the interaction between us, and he mentioned that he would come out and talk to me while this guy’s buddy began making my smoothie. His name was George I believe, and off the bat was very nice. Once I mentioned that his employee was extremely inconsiderate and there was no need to treat any customers in such a defensive manner, he said that he was sorry, and that the smoothie was actually his fault– to which I reminded him, I am NOT upset about a smoothie. I’m very upset in the manner I was treated. I said it would be hard for me to come back to this location because of how brazenly rude his employees seemed to be.
Well, here comes the biggest RED FLAG of them all… The MANAGER decided to respond to my statement with «Alright, all of our customers are regulars anyway so it’s fine if you don’t want to come back.»
To the gentleman who helped me on Friday, thank you so much. Your employees could learn A LOT from you!
To the rest of the staff, I’ll take my business to Pomegranate or Whole foods (where, by the way, their juices are ORGANIC. Nekter does not serve any organic produce, word to the wise!!!)

A very fresh and zen like place to get fruit juices, smoothies and acai bowls … Clean and colorful place :) I go there once a week for detox and getting my share of fruits and veggies … The blush and banana burst are my favorites. …

Best juicers in the biz! This place is great for whatever your feeling up to whether it’s a cleanse or a bowl or a smoothie everything here is great but a little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for so you won’t be disappointed!

Delicious! Exactly the breakfast we were looking for! Up from Tucson for baseball and Unilocaled to see if there was a smoothie bar nearby. Our Acai Banana Berry bowls were tasty, fresh, and filling. Wish this was closer to my house!

I love the Nekter franchise, and this location didn’t disappoint! The store itself was clean and had lots of fresh fruit and vegetables on display.
My açai banana berry bowl was smooth and refreshing, just what I was looking for on a hot Phoenix day! They also had a good balance of açai to granola.
I would definitely recommend a Nekter bowl for a healthy, cold snack!

I’ve been coming to Nekter for only about a month now, but I find myself visiting at least twice a week. Their Toxin Flush is my absolute favorite. It provides an amazing amount of greens and still has a sweeter taste to satisfy any sweet craving I may be having that day.
I currently on my 2^nd day of their juice cleanse. I started the 1^st day with the Classic cleanse, and my 2^nd day with the Advanced cleanse. This is the first juice cleanse that I’ve done before so it’s a bit hard to not think about food, but the juices they provide really satisfy you to help you get through the day.

I wish they had half stars. To clarify, my rating is 3.5 stars.
I’m hooked on Nektar! I usually visit the one near my gym but I just found this location, which is only a few miles from my office. I can testify for the quality of their food/​drinks — absolutely delicious.
I’m docking stars not for the food but the service. I couldn’t locate this Nektar (the shopping center it was in is huge) and when I called, someone kept picking the phone up and then hanging it up. Super frustrating. When I found it I ordered a pink flamingo, but they were out of a number of produce (not their fault, produce guy messed up the order) so I ordered the date nut smoothie. When I got my drink she only filled it about ¾ full. I didn’t want to sound like a cheap ass so I didn’t say anything but Nektar isn’t cheap (as most healthy options aren’t), so I expect to get my money’s worth. I paid for 16 oz, not 12 oz…

It’s a cute little juice bar and I’ve been quite happy with everything I’ve had here. They tend to be a little slow (I’ve only ever seen one person working in the back and one in the front). As others have said, it’s a little expensive considering it’s not organic but I’m not an everyday regular and I wouldn’t say it’s more expensive than most of the other places I go for similar things.
The PB bowl is AMAZING. Seriously, if you love peanut butter indulge in this goodness! Pitaya (dragon fruit) is another favorite… as the bowl or the smoothie.
Just don’t go when you are in a hurry and be prepared to spend a little for the fresh ingredients and you’ll most likely be pleased as punch!

This place is naturally popular because of the trendy health craze nowadays. But Nekter is right up there in my opinion! I come here for the acai bowls and theirs is definitely one of my favorites in the valley! It is a huge portion, great taste, just the right amount of sweet/​tart and they are generous with the fruit & granola toppings. One bowl is good for 2 to share if having it for a healthy dessert which is what my bf and I usually do. When we are craving smoothies, this is also one of our go-​to places. This is also where I tried my first pitaya bowl and it was excellent! More tart than the acai bowl but still sweet and filling. The location is nice and convenient, right in the heart of Ahwatukee. Parking is limited though being next to other restaurants. I have never been here during peak hours so I have never experienced a long wait for my order.

So I’ve waited a while to try Nekter, and meh … It’s alright.
I swung by on my break one day in search of a good ol’ green juice.
The store was definitely clean and bright.
I tried the Toxin Flush with extra ginger. It was actually quite delicious and definitely soothed the GI distress, but I could get the same thing anywhere.
The customer service is about what I’d expect for a chain; uninterested teenagers /​college students. At least pretend to enjoy your job.
Don’t forget to use that $ 1 off check-​in offer. $ 7+ beverages get pricey after a while…
Also, as another reviewer noted: They don’t use organic here. Boo.
Maybe I’ll give Nekter another try when I’m in a rush, but there’s another local organic place down the road in Ahwatukee I prefer for my juices with friendlier (basic) customer service.

After coming here a few times & trying a few of the smoothie & bowl options, I have to say that for the amount of money you spend, it’s not worth it.
The things I didn’t like — I’ve had the Banana Berry Burst which was completely tasteless … I can make a better strawberry banana smoothie at home. Also, the Pink Flamingo which is supposedly the best seller in the store … I thought it tasted really weird, my guess is because if the coconut water (but it was really bright & fun to look at if that matters to you).
The two stars on their whole menu are the Date Nut smoothie & the PB bowl. Definitely stick to those if you go. Even then, I’d recommend to only go once in a while because the money you spend on these items is going to be an obscene amount. Disappointing.
