I called this location with a few questions about the cleanses they have and the girl that I spoke to was great. She was so knowledgeable and told me stuff I didn’t even know to ask. When I went in to pick them up she helped me, recognized me from calling and again was so helpful and gave me some tips from her personal experiences with them. If you’re thinking about doing something like this their website has a lot of info and their staff is great if you have questions or concerns. I’m excited to try it! It’s so nice to be helped by people working with what they’re passionate about, it truly shows. thank you!

I’ve never had a bad visit with Nekter’s around town and this location provided great service and product as good as any. I ordered the 12oz Date Nut smoothie which came with a delicious blend of house made vanilla cashew milk, dates, banana, and nutmeg all blended with ice to a smooth consistency. The vanilla and cashew milk flavors were good but I what I most liked was the flavor of the dates and the little pieces that were left in the smoothie to nibble on. The banana flavor was good and it had a bit of a nutmeg flavor. It was very well blended with just the right amount of ice. The Date Nut smoothie was surprisingly filling. The young employees were all quite friendly, chatty, and a good spirits. This location has more inside space then most Nekters I have been to so there is some good seating available. Oh yes, don’t forget to try the free samples! Bye the way, they offer free Wi-Fi too!

I came here on a sunday morning for an acai bowl and the girl behind the counter was rude and not very helpful. It seemed like something was bugging her and then she took it out on me. She ended up making my bowl extremely messy. I was far from satisfied, and I’m never returning again.

Brunch 1 of 2 of the day. Wasn’t crowded on a Saturday morning so we were able to order quickly and find seats. Staff is super friendly and willing to customize anything on the menu so that you can cater something to your own preferences. PS most of their acai bowls are made with cashew milk for the nut-sensitive, but they will sub in any other base for you if you make that known. They also have a huge variety of juices and sell juice cleanses if you’re interested. I ordered their banana berry acai bowl with an apple juice base subbed for their cashew milk. It was good and all but I have had better(namely from Café Brazil in Santa Cruz). I really liked their granola and fruit portions. Friend also ordered a pitaya bowl which was really really bomb. Very fruity and tropical and bright flavors — ideal for a hot day when you need something refreshing.

I really enjoyed my visit to Nekter. They had a great selection of Juices to pick from as well as açaí and pitaya bowls. The best part about this place though is the service, the guy who helped us was really friendly and knowledgeable. I told him I wanted a kale juice but the only kale juice on the menu came with filling ingredients. He suggested I get another juice and said he could add kale to it which Getting to customize your drink isn’t all that amazing what I really liked was how the guy(who I’m assuming is the owner) was very invested in making sure I get exactly what I want. Great Service. Has Wifi. Add Kale.

I have felt a cold coming on and I read that one of the best things– is to take a shot of wheat grass… and guess what??? Nekter has the best deal out there… Their wheat grass is ORGANIC… for $ 2.75…Robek’s charges $ 3.99 and there’s is NOTORGANIC. Nekter employees wear gloves when making your order, the other places do not… and a lot of them have handled money, which is dirty, and then go make your drink.

Nekter is a great place to get a healthy drink/snack. Their acai bowls, smoothies and juices are custom made with fresh ingredients. Their cute little spot in La Jolla has indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking is usually available. Recommendations: Chocolate dream smoothie — healthy and delicious way to curb that sweet craving! PB acai bowl — topped with granola and fresh fruit and oh so tasty! The only thing I’ve tried and not cared for was the sublime juice. To me it tasted too much like grass, lol… I’m attributing that to the parsley factor. #sandiegofoodgirls

I go to nekter for their decent smoothies. The only down side are their prices(a little high) and their efficiency. Not nearly enough employees for the traffic this place gets. Gets frustrating and old. Never go when you’re in a rush.

Sooo So-Cal! I love the concept of this juice bar and really like the ingredients they use in their smoothies — however, this place has been a hit or miss for me. One of my friends recommended this place to me after knowing my love for chocolate and told me about the«chocolate dream» smoothie which has carob(healthier, nutritional substitue) of cocao. Well, I found myself there after one of my Fitwall workouts and the smoothie was amazing!!! Enjoyed every sip of it. Found myself there two days later, and I could barely take a sip of the smoothie because it was so thickly blended and would not buldge. At that time, i thought it was a one off thing and didn’t think too much of it. Went back few weeks later, and the smoothie was not as good as the first time I had it. So haven’t had it since since not sure what is going on now. I guess if you are ordering something, try it before you walk out so you can get it fixed before you leave. I usually end up trying it by the time i get to my car and then who is going to come back? Since then, the same friend convinced me to do the 3 day juice cleanse with her through Nekter. I loved it! They recommend 3 days because it is just enough — good cleanse and you are not over the top missing food. I loved it! I am not a coffee drinker — but as I said above, i am hooked on chocolate. One of the things i noticed was that I had a major headache because I wanted chocolate. Anyway, i just slept through it — and three days later — I wasn’t even craving chocolate! I Do recommend their 3 day juice cleanse if someone is into that — the juices are great — and its a great way to detox and clean out your system.

After a pretty horrible experience at the Nekter juice bar in Carmel valley, I give an extra star to corporate for reaching out and offering me a comped menu item to give it another try. I decided against returning to the Carmel valley location(still feeling offended by the incident and racial undertones there) but went to this Nekter instead. I have to say, it mostly redeemed my experience. Really friendly staff with great attitudes and helpful suggestions and the acai bowl was delicious! I «made it greener» which means they’ll add kale and spinach and it was just wonderful! The only loss of a star was because they seemed a little skimpy on the fruit(see photo), which would have bummed me out if I was paying the full $ 8.95 but otherwise delicious!

Order the acai banana berry bowl and it was delicious! The appearance of the store is clean but I would suggest a door for the office so the guest can’t see the mess… And to close the bathroom door as well Update: the bowl is delicious but I found a piece of acai not blended… Not a good experience for a first time guest. This review went to a 4 star to a 2 star real quick

Love it! It’s such a little hide away I almost didn’t see it at first. It’s next to a cool bar/restaurant and it’s open until 7pm. That sounds super late for a smoothie and acai place but when I’m craving my pitaya bowl for dinner you know where I’m going. It’s really a lovely chain and you know what to expect from each one of them. The bowls are the best here and so well done!

I love that they have a location in San Diego now. We come here for their fresh juices and acai bowls. The price is on point for what they offer, the staff is always helpful and courteous and the shops are small but not overly stifling. I wish they opened up more locations closer to central San Diego.

Shit it fressssssh! You can smell all the fresh ingredients down the street that will totally pull you in! Perfect location in the heart of la Jolla. Nice sized juices for a great price(shocking for juices) I love the green juice OVERICE. For me I love having my juices over ice bc they tend to get warm and thick without it. They also have juices packaged for the week if you’re trying to do a cleanse or just want them @ home. Def my go to juice spot in San Diego.

My goto spot for Acai bowls near UCSD! I love Nektar. I am a sucker for peanut butter so I always get the PB Bowl. Its so tasty. The peanut butter adds a rich flavor and makes the bowl creamier. Its always topped off with the best granola I’ve ever eaten on an acai bowl. They also add fresh bananas, strawberries and acai. Its deifinitely a great spot to grab a healthy snack when you’re around the area. For extra creaminess you can add extra peanut butter!

I really enjoy coming to grab an acai bowl, smoothie, or juice at Nektar when I am in La Jolla! It is quite a «no frills» café(minimal seating inside and outside), but it makes up for this in the quality of its food and drinks. I usually get the PB Bowl, a delicious peanut butter acai bowl with tons of granola and fresh bananas and strawberries on top! I basically always get this acai bowl instead of the other ones listed because of the peanut butter they include in the acai mixture… so tasty and unique! If you are in the mood for a smoothie, I would recommend the Pink Flamingo, which is made with pitaya instead of acai. Nektar also does wheatgrass shots, which are good for boosting general well-being. Also, they have a cooler filled with fresh pressed juices and coconut water that you can grab if you are in a hurry. All of the juices are great, and I especially love the Skinny Lemonade. They have a small assortment of snacks at the check-out counter as well. Every time I have come to Nektar, the employees have asked if I have any questions which is nice as they are all very informed about what goes into their bowls, smoothies, and juices! Overall, I enjoy coming to Nektar because it is definitely one of the best juice bars in La Jolla, especially because of the wonderful acai bowls.

I love Nekter and this is a fantastic location for this place. I tend to frequent the Carlsbad and Encinitas locations but come to La Jolla on occasion and was already disappointed by the juices selection. Not anymore, having Nekter right in the heart of downtown is awesome. Can’t beat walking around downtown LA Jolla with A fresh juice«Toxin Flush» in particular on ice… Service here is prompt and friendly and the product served is awesome. Pros– Juice Service Cleanliness Location Menu New app for locality members Cons– Pricey Limited outdoor seating

This juice bar is so convenient to my gym, I walk here for a chocolate dream and I only wish there was more consistency. The smoothie tastes different each time but still delicious. There is an option for cleansers and small snacks, all geared towards healthy living and I highly recommend them. Service is friendly, everything is made fresh and it seems locals(high school) can get a deal. Great spot! One day cleanser pack is 48.00 and made and bottled there I believe. Very tempting to try it.
