Surf City Squeeze

Fine @ss employee working here today! Bought (3) separate drinks just to get see her and introduce myself. Too bad she didn’t notice me but I’ll be back.

Just walked up about 3 minutes ago. The kid (male) said they closed at 6pm. As it was after 6, I said thank you and walked away. I sat with my child at the fountain for a few moments and when I turn back around, the girl there was taking an order from a young guy and then made his drink. I’m not sure if that’s how you like to run your business by denying customers or giving priority to friends after hours, but I find that rude and way to lose mine and my family’s business for life. I will def be sharing this with everyone who frequents the mall.

Good drinks here. I use to come here everyday when I worked at close to the mall. I always get the strawberry banana smoothie.
This place can draw huge lines depending on the day of week, specifically weekends. But, if you get here early in the mornings you can get in and keep it moving. The staff is usually young high school students or early college students.
The pictures do not lie. It is essentially what you see is what you get. If you have questions about the drinks just ask because you might wind up tasting something that you were not aware of because you did not read the description COMPLETELY.
Just a cool spot to grab a smoothie cold on a WARM day in Daly City because it never gets HOT here!

I came here 3 times. Each time I regret getting a smoothie here. I only get them cause my daughter loves the water with the turtles. I swear every smoothie taste like a milkshake here. Horrible. The only thing I will say about this place is the staff are very nice and friendly. Never getting it again 3 strikes I’m done.

The service was fine but the taste was terrible. Will not return. This review is just to warn others not to waste their money here, it isn’t worth it. I ordered the peanut butter banana smoothie and it was just a banana blended with peanut butter and water for $ 4.75. It gave me a head ache.

I always go for the strawberry banana smoothie with boba. It’s my favorite.

This place is 1000 times better than the one at tanforan. Trust me when I tell you this. The owner of the tanforan one seems to be using powdered lemonade garbage.

I absolutely love the Strawberry Banana, and the boba is nice and chewy. Thanks Jaleesa! (Sorry if my mispelled your name!)

Came in they weren’t very upfront about the boosts to add in. Apparently they were almost a buck up add in some powder to a drink. Messed up my friend’s drink so they remade it a size larger. That was cool. Staff didn’t seem too put together but il they were friendly. I do like that you can add boba In the smoothie. I think jamba juice would have been better in the mall.

Two people working. Two customers in front of me. 15 minute wait. The girl working took orders and made drinks but the guy was busy making samples. As time passed, the biggest line formed and the male employee was bullshitting in the back wiping the counter as slowly as possible with literally two fingers. He didn’t help expedite and left his coworker working the register and making drinks. Get it together.

I’m not sure why anyone would put something horrible on their menu. Maybe just to appeal to people like me who like something a little different every now and then.
Excited by a new combination, I tried the pineapple and blueberry smoothie and it has to be said, won’t be going back. it was not a very good recommendation and I have to question why it was on the menu in the first place.
Quite expensive as well, and after we ordered I notice the pineapples on the kiosk. I really hope they were bad knock off plastic ones that hadn’t aged well, they looked like they were pineapples that had gone mouldy and then had been waxed.

The drinks are really great. I’m not really into smoothies at all, but the guy working really changed my mind. I think his name was Brian or Ryan, I couldn’t really hear. He gave me one of the best drinks I ever had in awhile, I think it was called a strawberry banana. I highly recommend this place.

I came here with my fam on a busy Saturday, and thankfully did not experience any attitudes from any of the staff. Just about everyone I was with ordered from them too and got good service. Hubby loved his pineapple peach, sister got the pineapp coconut banana, and I got blueberry coconut with boba and we all loved our drinks. While we were waiting we sampled the strawberry, the honeydew, and the chocolate banana and those were good too. Wish we had Surf City at our local mall. Next time I’d like to try their version of halo halo.

Have only tried one kind of smoothie here (though we’ve been here many times). The Manga Banana smoothie. Yum!
On occasion, they get heavy handed with the banana, and it’s too much. But when it’s balanced just right, it’s so good. Have to be careful not to get brain freeze.
Knocking it down from 4 stars to 3 for inconsistency.

It’s high for the price point especially when you consider that Jamba is right outside the mall (but to be honest, their customer service at that location isn’t much better). I usually stick with my Strawberry/​Banana/​Pineapple smoothie… its just right in my opinion. It’s all subliminal messaging too from the Tanforan location cause that’s the one they make as a sample most often — service is better over there by the way!
As for the customer service, it can definitely be worked on at this location. The girl that served me didn’t seem interested at all. She was just talking to her friend while I looked over the board. The smoothie came quickly enough, but she didn’t point me to where I could find straws or a napkin… I mean I guess I should have known that once you order, there is a waiting area to the left but there was no signage signalling for pick-​up here vs order here so why would I bother budging (especially since I was the only person in line).
They are hiring by the way, but that really only means you’ll probably see a different teenage girl who only deigns to work here.

SERVICE SUCKS, PUNK KID WANNA BE GANGSTER WORKERS ARE RUDE AND THEY VIOLATED HEALTH CODES.
The employee here gave my friend a ton of attitude before he ordered his drink. He was missing how Surf City wasn’t at Stonestown Mall anymore, so he wanted to check this place out. He got his Strawberry smoothie, but after drinking half way, he chucked it because he started to feel nauseated.
As for me, I didn’t order shit. I placed an order and the kid started making the drink. First of all, HE DIDN’T WASH HIS HANDS AFTER TOUCHING HIS GLOSSY HAIR, and second, HE GAVE ME ATTITUDE. When he rang me up, I didn’t hand him the cash and told him I didn’t want it anymore. I told the guy he was violating health code by not washing his hands after touching his hair. OMFG he snapped back saying he gets minimum wage and only cares about the money.
KID, you are lucky I am a legal aged adult because if I was still 15 like you, I would have beat the living shit out of you so that when your mama came to pick you up from the hospital, she would disown you like an illegitimate child.
Thank god, McDonald’s has $ 1 menu soda. I’d drink that before killing myself here by drinking a smoothie.
I hope this place closes soon.

I agree with most of the fellow Unilocalers about the young rude workers. I went there last Sunday and I was never greeted. I was the only one in line, and there were four of them behind the counter. One girl stepped up to the register, and I said «umm…I’ll get a large…» and she walked away thinking I wasn’t ready, and turned her back to wipe something. Umm… helllo! There’s three other girls wiping the small space. I’m sure they can manage without your help! She did not once smile, say hi, or thank you! They don’t wear name tags, so I don’t know who took my order. She has the black top wing eyeliner and brown hair… but that probably doesn’t say much. (Just didn’t notice anyone else with the extreme eyeliner) I spent $ 6.55 for a large drink. I think she could have at least smiled. When my drink was done, another girl just placed it on the counter without saying anything. Since I was the only customer there at that time, it was obvious that it was mine, but does it really hurt to say, «strawberry smoothie. Thank you!»
The owners really need to reevaluate their staff’s customer service and not assume that just because it’s not a full fledged «restaurant» that customers do not deserve any service. Not sure if I’ll be back again considering there’s jamba juice and starbucks just around the corner.

Rude and lazy female employees. There were 4 girls working, I was the only customer and yet they forgot to make my drink, because the whole time I was ordering and paying all they did was chit chat with each other. Did not greet me, or thank me. Once they finally realized I was waiting on my drink, she made it and left it by the register and didn’t even tell me that it was ready. She could of very easily handed it to me.
1 star cause I had to give a star and the drink was pretty good.

I’d always find their female employees making out with their boyfriends .
Dear management, you need to get rid of those girls or stay/​visit at your establishment more cause seeing your employees in a make out sesh with their boys is very unappetizing. Not only does it change my mind on getting a smoothie but it makes me want to throw up cause your employees are in a full on make out session.
VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. There are millions of unemployed people out there, hire them instead of these teenagers who are lucky enough to have a job but doesn’t realize it. They obviously don’t want to be there. SO GET RID OF THEM.
I understand it is slow or whatever, but find something else to do. Seriously.

Big fat meh.
Every time I purchase a smoothie from this place (2x) I get bad service. When I go up to these girls, I smile and say hi,
All I get back is an awkward, judgemental look back. Weird. Anyways, I get over it pretty fast. I’m just saying that if I’m going to pay $ 4 for a smoothie the size of my hand then shouldn’t I be getting a small smile or hello back? \
I usually get the standard strawberry banana, and it tastes fine to me.
