I entered the store at 4:45 and asked if I was too late to get service. She said no she was still open. I ordered a smoothie that cost $10.79. I saw a sign in the store advertising a free drink or smoothie with app download after first purchase. I wasn’t having good luck finding how to get the free offer. When I asked the clerk to assist me, she told me she didn’t know how and the owner didn’t either because they are a franchise and they don’t know how to work the app. I told her that if they are going to advertise it, they should know how to make it work and she disagreed with me and said nobody else has ever had a problem and she doesn’t know how to do it. At 4:58 I finally got it to work and she told me she wasn’t going to make my free smoothie. She laughed and said the store was closed and that I had to leave The store without my free drink that I had finally successfully downloaded the code for. I was not happy when she told me she wasn’t going to make my drink and I took my tip back. She ordered me to leave several times and said she was going to call security as I was calling the Number for Customer Service for this juice bar. Then she went outside and attempted to lock me in the store with the outside lock. I threatened to sue her if she dared to lock me in the store. She then pushed her body against the door, preventing me from being able to open the door without using my entire weight to get out of the store. As I was leaving, my purple smoothie spilled all over my shirt. She stood there, screaming at me as I was walking to my car. I am a 65-year-old woman and I have never had this kind of treatment In my whole life and I will tell everyone I know never to go to this store. Shame on you!She also wouldn’t serve another lady who came in at 4:59. If I was the owner of this store that would not be acceptable. You are open until the time you close and if a customer is in the store before that they should be served.I can’t imagine you get enough business to treat customers this way. I just may decide to sue you for my ruined shirt.

This is not Nektar. This is some kind of doppelganger smoothie/bowl shop trying to be Nektar. They do not use any branded containers and they use to go soup containers from smart & final. They clearly use back burner ingredients for their bowls. They definitely use canned pineapple, some cheap granola and don't carry any of their gluten granola. The bowls were not in comparison to any of their other locations. The franchise owner is clearly cutting corners. I reached out to Nektar corporate but no response. I doubt they will reach out. Just letting you all know of the sub par quality of this location. Unfortunate.

I’ve been calling to inform them to keep my acai bowl cool before dasher picks up and no one is answering. Not a single answer after 5 tries of calling.

I love that this spot came to La Mesa. The store is clean and the food is fresh. I've ordered smoothies, açaí bowls, and juice. But my favorite thing is the chia pudding. It's a generous serving and the fruit is really fresh for only $6. Great for breakfast or a couple of snacks. The girls are always friendly and the service is quick. Definitely going to be a regular here.

Great experience, staff was kind and attentive. Place was exceptionally clean. Music was a bit too loud to sit and relax but the interior is a great place to sit and meet friends.

Love this place! The service was great and my smoothie came out pretty quickly. The inside is nice and clean. Parking was easy too. The smoothie tasted delicious and I would definitely come back again.
This place is outrageously expensive. $10-12 for a smoothie. I'll make mine at home, thanks.

I'd give this place no stars if I could! Can't tell you how good their drinks are because I never got mine, nor did I get a refund!Came here on my lunch break. Only customer in the place. Not like they were busy. At all. I waited a bit after ordering and stepped outside to make a phone call. In total, from ordering, waiting a bit, and stepping out for a call, it was almost 20 minutes. When I walked back in, the young kid working was sitting, scrolling on his phone. He jumped up when he saw me walk in, grabbed a dirty blender (could see the residue), and started rushing to make my drink. At that point, a few others had walked in to order, and in his rush, he dropped the blender. I asked him to just refund my order (plus I had tipped him), and he said he couldn't do that. He said he would make my drink once he cleaned up the mess and took the other orders. I told him I couldn't wait, as I was on my lunch break, and he basically said it wasn't his problem. If I wanted my drink, I could wait. Otherwise, there was nothing he would do.So, now I am late back to work, got nothing for lunch, and am out $13. So yeah, I definitely won't be back and would never recommend this place.Good luck to you guys. A store is only as good as their employees.

This was my first time trying it, and the cashier was very helpful and kind. I ordered the health nut protien smoothie for my breakfast, and it tastes wonderful! I really like the peanut butter flavor.
