Nekter Juice Bar

The smoothies and juices here are great… But don’t bother ordering online or through the app, every time I’ve come here and order through the app and come 15 – 20 min after they never have it done and say «we just got it» clearly they just aren’t paying attention. And if you come without ordering online it takes them forever to make your drink and it won’t even be busy… It’s like everyone is on slow motion

This place is seriously a joke. I’m not sure what happened to all the old crew but there is an entirely new set of employees and they act like they could care less about any of the customers or their job. I walked in to chat with someone about a gift card and even though they were fully staffed it took them 5 minutes to even look at me and acknowledge my presence. Not one of them even offered a hello as I walked in through the door and I was the only person in line. After the man finally notice that I was standing at the counter he had the nerve to say sorry ma’am be with you in a minute and then continued to unpack boxes of fruit while I stood there and waited for several more minutes. I could also see that the prep area was a complete disaster with food littering the floor and surfaces covered with who knows what. I’m extremely disappointed with this new Krill in comparison to the old one and I don’t believe I will ever be making a return visit.

The wait at this place is kinda long. It was my first time at Nektae ever and I had my first acai bowl. The granola was very yummy, I wish I has more granola. The acai blended itself was okay, but I don’t see the hype in it. I think the brand is just very hyped, I didn’t see anything too special. Also, prices were pretty expensive. Would I go again? probably not… it’s one of those places that you gotta just try for yourself

Everytime I go here and order a smoothie, the wait is soooooo long! Even when it isn’t crowded count on 20 minutes :(((

I had an unbelievably horrible experience in nectar this weekend. I went in and ordered two smoothies I knew it would be at least a 20 minute wait so I went next-​door to Pier 1 imports to go shopping. I came back 25 minutes later they had no idea I had ordered anything even though I paid and then I went onto wait another 30 minutes at which point they gave me one smoothie and still forgot the other. At that point I just politely asked for a refund gets card for free coupon cards to make up for the seven dollars none of the three girls could figure out how to do any of that so I walked out the door. Whoever owns the store really needs to figure it out maybe study the business model from Jamba Juice. Good luck but I alas will never frequent this place again

Ordered the Chocolate Dream. Waited 15min for them to tell me, unapologetically, that they ran out of avocado. Supplemented with almond butter. All I tasted was ice and slight, faint hints of sugar.
Sat in my car, contemplating on going back to ask for a booster be added since I paid $ 7 for their smallest size. Did go back. Girl added more almond butter, supposedly. Couldn’t tell. Blamed lack of flavor on the missing avocado. She stated the avocado is key for the other flavors to bind and become more intense. #breakingbad #smoothieedition
Paid $ 7 for slushy water with little flavor. Not sure if I’ll go back.

First time here the people was so nice and helpful I will be back really soon! It was so good!

Love this place. If I could have their smoothies for breakfast lunch and dinner I totally would. Except I walked in a minute before closing and this young guy told me they were closed. I told him I just wanted to purchase a juice from their shelf, all he had to do was swipe it and I would be on my way out. Wouldn’t take more than 20 seconds. But he asked me to leave. What even?!

They have really great service here and the juices are absolutely delicious and refreshing. I also tried the 3 day juice cleanse and I truly felt cleansed and healthier. This place is definitely well worth a try!

I’m feeling like I need to update my review since I come here all the time. I’ve gotten over the original fiasco with the rewards program and really do love their juices (esp. the Toxin Flush) and smoothies. The staff are all really nice too and happy to make suggestions and mix up the recipes. They are still a bit on the pricy side, but hey, we are in Napa.

I love the Buzz. Thier bowls are great too. I have tried thier pre-​packaged cleanse but it os way over priced for the poor quality. Stick with the fresh juices and you will not be disapointed. My 4 year old daughter loves the smothies so much better quality then other corp. Juice bars.

I love their acai bowls so much, especially the Acai Tropical! My order always comes out within minutes and they have a nice little space inside to enjoy your treat. I’m not a big fan of the Bel Aire Plaza mainly because of the parking but this place is in a quiet corner so it’s never too hard to find a spot. Overall, I’m a big fan and always have a good experience when I come in here.

I just started juicing this week. This place is great. Great variety and the prices are normal. Juicing is not cheap. A ton of fruits and vegetables go into mine. The clerk who works at noon is awesome. Good guy.
I’ll be there at 1130 today.

I’m not too happy with my last experience here. I called ahead to let them know I was coming in to pick up a three day cleanse so they could have it ready for me, etc.
Drinks: The drinks are good here, I’ve purchased the classic cleanse twice now and Drink 4 (Skinny Lemonade drink) which is sweet/​spicy from the agave and the cayenne is one of my favorites. Definitely different from most drinks out there, but very tasty. Drink 6 (Vanilla Cashew Protein drink) is the protein drink you have at the end of the day, definitely the most calorically dense, creamy and nutty… pales in comparison to Pressed Juicery’s protein drink, but still decadent.
Bowls: Acai Banana Berry Bowl is my go-​to, but the last time I got it made I was really disappointed. The person that prepared it filled it about half-​way, yet I paid the full price. How unreasonable. I didn’t complain, because I was starved and didn’t have the patient, but I wish I had. Likewise, it took them about 10 minutes to put my bowl together and I was the only person in the shop at the time. Not sure why that took so long either.
Service: First time was okay, I was picking up stuff for the cleanse and they knew I was a first timer, so she provides details… but truly, not enough. like what I have to do to prep for the cleanse. I turned to the internet and did that on my own. Second time, they took forever to get me my bowl and half of my drinks were all expiring that day or the next day, this is what irked me the most, because I spent a lot of money on these drinks. Needless to say, I had to share my drinks with others so they wouldn’t go to waste… no cleanse for me.
Price: I used to think the prices were okay for the quality/​flavor of the drinks, but after my two experiences with crap customer service. I’d rather invest my money elsewhere.
Overall: Good drinks, but slow/​inconsistent service experiences.
Tip: My biggest tip to them is to please check your bottles and let customers know beforehand and/​or customers check your bottles. I failed to do so, since they packed it up for me… and driving from Sacramento is a bit of a way. Hesitant to come back here again.

YAAAAAAS! Basic white girls raise your arms up in celebration for theeee best place ever in Napa!
My friend told me how in so cal they are located everywhere so she makes sure to stop here and grab something when she’s in town… So typical fashion I decided to try it out when I was done with competing… Like no joke GOT OFF the plane from Vegas in Oakland drove to napa for a Toxin Flush and grabbed a pre bottled vanilla almond protein drink…
Such a fan I came back two days later… And downloaded the app!
So basic
And the crew there every time has been pretty legit. I’m sorry if everyone feels they need a red carpet rolled out for them when they walk in, sometimes it’s best to have some sympathy with people who work with the public because I know there can be hi demand for customization of certain juices and drinks and making the customer unhappy isn’t a goal for this companies crew! Every time I have come in they have been so nice and helpful!

Stop by for a Watermelon Cooler. The sign is right outside their door. See photo. Clerk tells me they are out of mint. It’s not available. See next photo Whole Foods same shopping center shared parking lot. Needless, to say the place is way over priced. Not returning. I’ll make me own juice at home for much less.

I’m delightfully surprised every time I go to Nekter because the service and the products are really consistent.
As usual, I ordered my Acai Banana Berry bowl and it came out perfect. The agave nectar is literally glistening in the photo. You get what you pay for with these. I’m full and don’t feel like death. Thank you, Nekter!
I love the people here. I’m not sure why some of the other reviews are bagging on them. Perhaps they don’t know what nice people are like. Katie, the manager, is always super friendly and so is the rest of the staff. When you come in, they immediately say «welcome to Nekter»! What’s more welcoming and charming than that?

First time here and won’t be the last! I’ve always heard the wonders of the magical açaí bowl and didn’t understand the hype but now after having one… count me in. I ordered the Açaí Tropical bowl and it was amazing. As usual, if it has pineapple — mine.
The raw coconut and the gluten free granola really added a nice texture to the açaí, I wish I had more fruit than just the banana but I can’t complain. I could never finish a whole bowl of this but I certainly tried. I will definitely be back again to try a different bowl but I’m really happy these things are gaining some notoriety up here in Northern California!

Yep, I stand by my last review of this place. I have been back multiple times and have not been disappointed. I’ve moved on to the smoothies, after trying all their bowls (yum!), and I’m currently fixated on the date nut smoothie with double dates. It’s creamy and reminds me of rice pudding. So good!
Check out my last review for highlights and photos!
Shout out to what have become my two favorite Nekter employees: Kelley and Carli, you ladies make my day every time I come in.
