Tasties

Tasty and healthy. So many options to pick from. The staff is awesome. Definitely recommend.

We went here because we were craving a smoothie, we ordered a peach and mango smoothie and paid $ 6.50 for a medium smoothie in which we watched him scoop canned peaches and canned mango into a blender, added a little frozen yogurt and blended it together. When we tasted it it tasted like watered down fruit and metal. Definitely not wasting money here again.

I forgot that I was at this place only about a year ago. And my update? They still serve orange juice at room temperature. So looks like my experience last year was not a one-​time mistake. It IS their practice to serve orange juice at room temp. But the server though was nice this time. Thus, the rating stays the same.

One of the best places for smoothies and other yummy drinks! They have a huge variety and also the staff is very friendly! My new go-​to place for smoothies!

Excellent smoothies including non-​dairy options. The non-​dairy Banana Date smoothie is my fave!

Don’t let the big baskets of fruit above the counter fool you. My wife and I were in the food court looking for something to drink and thought this place might be good. I ordered one medium strawberry and banana smoothie and one medium orange, pineapple and coconut smoothie. Immediately after I placed the order my wife corrected me that she wanted an orange, strawberry and banana smoothie. The employee just walked away from the counter as I was speaking and when he came back to scoop up some of the syrupy fruits she told him that she wanted the orange, strawberry and banana smoothie again to verify but he just seemed to ignore us. No surprise that we were given the wrong one. This place uses low quality ingredients. Nothing fresh about it.

Love tasties! I work at the mall and it’s nice having the convenience of a healthy fresh squeezed juice as a pick me up. They have a variety of different juices and combos, as well as smoothies. I think they’ll even let you pick your own combo of fruits. They always taste fresh and delicious.

The peanut butter banana smoothie ($ 4.95) is absolutely amazing. It tastes like a cup of Reese’s Pieces! Looove it! I’ve ordered this drink twice both times with added protein powder (an additional $ 1.00), and both times, the drink was absolutely delicious. They made my shake with nonfat non-​dairy yogurt, so although there are a lot of calories in the drink, it is a relatively healthier snack option.
The staff is always very friendly, and they answer all my questions (I sometimes ask a lot of questions) with no problem. They just always seem to go out of their way to make sure I have a good experience, despite the fact that this not a sit-​down restaurant.
I always make my way to Tasties during my occasional visits to the Westside Pavilion mall.

The staff was very friendly and helpful in creating the perfect drink for me! The fresh ingredients make a huge difference — it shows in the product! I kinda wish that I lived in this area!

We got the mango-​peach smoothie and it was amazingly delicious. No better combination of words can describe it. However, you’d need to be the CEO of some corporation in order to treat your family here. Not really but the smoothie was a hard ~$ 8. There’s no wonder why this place is always empty every time I’m around there.

Decent, but way too overpriced. A medium smoothie/​shake with boba was $ 7. The customer service could have also used some work. The guy at the counter seemed rather annoyed by my questions and overall bored with his job and life.

I am a smoothie afficionado and the smoothie I got here was absolutely awful! It was overpriced ($ 5) and WAY TOO SWEET. It was also closer to a frothy shake than a smoothie. There’s no way I’d visit this place again.

What can I say? When I come here I order my usual carrot with orange or if you want to be wild, try the banana and dates! Delicious!!!

I will precede this review by saying that I’m sure many of the other smoothies are absolutely delicious. But the smoothie that I order at every smoothie bar is a peanut butter banana one and thus, it is my barometer for measuring the quality and worth of any smoothie station.
That being said, it just wasn’t that good. It was a little too icy and had an overwhelming banana flavor. Bananas already have a strong scent but so does peanut butter so for the ratio of banana to peanut butter to be that unbalanced where I had an overpowering banana aftertaste. .. guy needs to calm down on the bananas.
I’ll be honest though and say that I saw them digging the last bit of peanut butter out of this huge jar so I guess that might be why there was barely any peanut butter in my smoothie. Then again, now that brings to light the fact that I got some scrap remnants of who-​knows-​how-​old crusted peanut butter mixed into my smoothie. .. .. that’s an entertaining thought.
Maybe you’ll be better off ordering some of the fruit smoothies cause let’s be honest, it’s just a smoothie. There’s not THAT much that can go wrong. .. unless you have no peanut butter. That makes making a smoothie with peanut butter in it a tad bit difficult.

The smoothies at Tasties are delicious. I love that they’re made with frozen yogurt. My bf and I love the peanut butter cup smoothie. It’s so good!
I’ve also asked for the frozen yogurt by itself because I personally like the icy texture of their yogurt. It’s delicious.
We’ll definitely be back for more.

Most of the reviewers before me claimed «it’s the best smoothie.» However I have to agree with Prashant C’s review.
My dad & I stopped to get a smoothie before our movie started «Jiro Dreams of Sushi» playing at the Landmark Theater. My dad ordered a smoothie first & I observed how they made it which did not look thick enough. I asked my dad if it was cold (I didn’t see them add ice). He said «not cold enough.»
I asked the smoothie man to please add ice. He balked & said «it will get watery.» I said «I am going to drink it immediately, please I like it cold & thick.» By the way I also asked, «which fruit is sweeter, the mango or the papaya?» He replied «I don’t know!» At least he was honest & added «I don’t like papaya or mango.» Hope he doesn’t get stranded on a tropical island.
I decided on the mango which was 50 cents more. He then added crushed ice & tried to whirl it in the blender. Ok, it was not his fault the blender was weak. No wonder they don’t add ice. He shook the blender on it’s base. Then he took off apparently to add more ice. After a little bit more shaking and blending, it came out a tad thicker than my dad’s smoothie.
Need I say I was little frustrated & disappointed with my smoothie? In Jiro Dreams of Sushi, they are constantly tasting, smelling, feeling the sushi before serving it to patrons. The taste lacked oomph, although I believe he did his best to accommodate this Unilocaler’s wishes.
Management here needs to get some clues from Jamba Juice and /​or Robek’s Juice. These peeps could use some heavy duty blenders and a lesson or 2 on how to make cold, thick smoothies. Even my smoothie book that I bought from the HomeGoods store has countless number of recipes with ice in them.
Maybe I should have stuck to the gelato at another earlier destination as my dad hinted at. I was made every effort to make healthy choices — this time it backfired!

I love when I find an easy place for fresh juice and even better, I found a great pair of shoes and paid for them with all my Christmas giftcards! I ordered carrot/​apple juice! It was yum! I’m on the search for an easy place that makes healthy juices. If you know of one tell me please. Pics on my blog…

Love the smoothies here. Banana date, strawberry banana, mocha and cookies n cream are all delicious. Don’t forget to get the frequent purchase card so u can get a free smoothie. Very fresh and creamy. Highly recommended.

I am a sucker for mall junk food, like Cinnabon, Mrs. Fields, Sees Candy, etc. So I’m really glad that there’s a healthier option that I like.
The smoothies at Tasties in the Westside Pavilion are soooo good. They’re made with frozen yogurt and fruit — only. They don’t taste icey like at other places and aren’t loaded with sour fruit juices (ahem, Jamba Juice). Instead, they’re creamy and delicious. The prices are slightly higher than other places, but I’ll gladly shell out $ 5 for a medium Blueberry Banana smoothie. It is the best!

$ 6.50 for a large smoothie is not the cheap but it’s densely packed with whatever you want to put in there. Their menu is a little confusing with the word, «toppings.» It makes you think you get your customized smoothie with stuff on top, but it’s just an extended list of flavors. Nonetheless, the employees are very generous in offering extra flavors and additional customization.
Though I would have opted with a fruit smoothie, the bear wanted a peanut butter and banana. Was it worth $ 6.50? The price of a Robeks is similar now… as long as it’s tasty (ies). har har.
