Nekter Juice Bar

This place is AMAZING!!!
I first came here one year ago while visiting my friend in San Diego and she told me about this thing called an «acai bowl.» Naturally, I couldn’t help but follow the trend so I told her to take me to the place with the best acai bowl and she took me here… and here is where I fell in love. I cannot get enough of the stuff it is so good that it makes me type in run on sentences just so I can gush more about how great it is and how much I love acai bowls and yum so good.
In other news, I also tried their juice (I think it was the Green Apple Detox) and I loved that too, especially because I like ginger and all things that this place has ever made ever. Sorry for the incoherence, but as you can tell it has really made a lasting impression and I would definitely say GO GO GO!

Since moving to San Diego from West LA, I’ve been trying to find a reminiscence of healthy spots like the ones in LA. Nektar is that place for me!
1. Friendly & Chill Service
*Definitely love how welcoming and helpful they are about their menu items.
*You don’t feel odd or stupid if you’re new to the juices and juice cleanses. I don’t miss that from the LA vibe haha.
2. Quality of Ingredients
*All their green juices are delicious. It doesn’t taste like straight wheat grass or bitter. Trust me, you won’t be regretting you spent $ 6 on a juice.
3. Support the Community
*I work for the Encinitas Unified School district. And, they were one of the community supporters at one of our events. They weren’t pushy with their products. Rather, they were supportive and positive!

I really like this Nektar. The people are friendly, they make great recommendations, and the juice combinations are so good. Also, they are much more decently proceed compared to other local juicing stations. I love that if I add ice, they only charge me for one cup size down. I love the green apple detox! Also, I get the Buzz and add beets– you guys, imagine the most gorgeous hot pink drink ever! (That was a recommendation on a past visit)
I come here all the time, and I always feel great.

Love my juice

L-​O-​V-​E this place! Clean, friendly, delicious healthy food & smoothies PLUS FRESH juices!
The owner, Shannon is awesome and the managers, as well as staff super friendly!
Give em’ a try, your taste buds and health will thank you!

I love me a good juice and when I get the chance, I will peek my head in and send my tastebuds on an adventure.
I came in and studied the menu for a little bit. Upon ordering, the very friendly gentleman at the counter placed my order, asked if I would like any extra perks in my drink and gave me my change with a smile. Customer service with a smile… so rare these days, and I love it! Good job sir (Sorry I forgot your name)
There were 3 beautiful ladies making all the drink orders and with all the drinks coming in, I was surprised to see that they had their game together and they were busting out those drinks left and right… and a wheatgrass shot too!
Once I got my drink, I chatted with Ariana. Super nice and she told me a little bit about the company and the brand. I must say, I was left very impressed and wouldn’t mind throwing down a few more bucks for their products.

Size update: I got a full serving today, not the barely half full the last time I was here.
The only grumble is that they don’t punch cards anymore. They have an app– and you only get points when you order. They told me about it afterwards and it was too late to get points for my purchases.

I have been to a few different locations of Nekter, and they never disappoint! I stopped by here Saturday looking for something healthy and to hold me over till my Friendsgiving later than day, so I decided a smoothie would do!
I ordered:
— Pink Flamingo $ 5.50
It is kind of pricey, but it was good! I’ve tried their acia bowls before too, and they are also delicious! Good spot for something healthy!

My favorite is orange crush but I get other drinks too. I love that I can order and pay for my drink and go and pick it up without a problem. I arrived a few minutes early the other day and they got my drink done in no time.
Also, the more fruits you have in your drink, the quicker you get your points. Another thing I love getting here are their acai bowls. Definitely worth it, especially after a nice workout at the gym.

Fresh and tasty juices, good acai bowls.

Stop by here late Tuesday afternoon to check this place out. It is an intimate place with simple layout and an interesting healthy menu with Juice like the Greenie, Toxin flush, the little beet, the sublime, or Smoothie like berry banana burst, popeye’s Acari, healthy nut, date nut, pink flamingo, or four kind of Acai bowels. Price is about $ 5.50 16oz, $ 7.50 24oz, $ 9.50 32oz.
The staffs were friendly and they took time to explain each one to me and made suggestion for the first timer. I learned about their cleanse program. They also have a 32oz tumbler that you can order for $ 9.95, which will give you a 16oz free drink and $.50 off for every future order. You can also check in with their iPhone app and accumulate points to get a free drink. Pretty cool!
I ended up getting a 24oz Greenie because I felt like I needed some cleanse in my system. They suggested to put it in a 32oz cup to add extra ice so I could get the full 24oz of the natural green goodie! The sip was refreshing and energizing!
I will certainly consider coming back more and may sign up for the cleanse program ($ 40 per day with 6 bottles of different blends of natural goodness).
A quick note: their veggie and fruits are natural but they don’t claim organic.

I’m in love with this place! I’m on my last day of my 3 day cleanse and I feel so good that I want to extend it for a week. Looking forward to restocking the Frig! And the desert juice at the end of the day is so delicious, I don’t crave any junk.

Everything I order here is fresh and delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This is a great location to get your juice and smoothies.

Quality is always good. Options are plentiful. Cold pressed are available and the service is always with a smile.

This nektar juice bar is so much better than the one by my house (Del mar location) i ordered my usual Popeye smoothie and it took 5 min! Normally at my location it takes 15−20min! Great fast service here. Plenty of parking. Grab a kebob next door… yum!

I was in the area and decided to stop in. I am from out of town so I knew nothing about the place. I got a delicious green smoothie. I happened after getting it to see the reviews where people complained about the service. I just wanted to write that the service for me was perfect. There were two people working. The man at the register was so nice and helpful answering all of my questions about the various smoothies, helping me to order best for me. Then they put the medium size in a large cup so he could add extra ice! I loved the juice and the service:)

The last few times I’ve been in, I’ve been disappointed in the service. It has gone downhill quite a bit over the last few months.
The employees working aren’t very friendly or helpful, and that wouldn’t be a huge deal, but the time it takes to make the items ordered is forever! I get that everything is fresh and made to order and I appreciate that, but it seems like they have slowed down quite a bit in the last few months. I saw the girls making my bowl stop and talk for a few seconds mid-​process. I’ve been there when there are a lot of customers waiting (& waiting & waiting) for longer than should be the case and I’ve also been the only one in the shop waiting for way too long for my items.
I still love the juices and bowls — healthy and delicious! But the service has me thinking I’ll start driving a little further to a different location.

I highly recommend Nekter in Encinitas! The employees here were super friendly and informative when I had a couple questions about some of the items on the menu. I have only tried their PB Bowl which was super thick and delicious! I just wish I added more fruits than just sliced strawberries but other than that still great! I also got the toxin flush as my first drink as that was the most recommended for the juice section and i loved it!
If you buy a 16oz plastic reusable cup, you get a free drink and 50 cents off every drink when you use it.

Love the juice here but I’m a little disappointed with the service at this location. Very slow the first time I came here. The second time the cashier was having a conversation with her co-​worker when I walked up to the counter and I stood there in stared at her for a couple minutes. She clearly saw me but finished her convo with her friend before she acknowledged me or tried to take my order. Then my 16oz juice was not even full. For $ 5 it should be filled to the brim, which it always has been at every other nekter location I’ve been to.

The staff is friendly, but I don’t think their acai bowls, smoothies or juices are anything special.
I’ve tried ordering different items but I’ve felt that the flavors are just okay. They also don’t use organic ingredients.
Personally, I’d recommend going to Jimbo’s at The Forum in Carlsbad for 100% organic smoothies and juices that taste awesome!
