Tried this place out for the first time and it did NOT disappoint. The raspberry riot was on point!!!! Satisfied the craving I had for something fresh and flavorful. We also got the mango delight made in a way that was creamy without overdoing it and it was so good! Will definitely return!

One of my favorite places to get fresh, delicious, and invigorating juices, smoothies, shots of ginger and turmeric, or bowls of awesomeness. Fast and healthy, stop by for an unbelievable experience in tastiness. Nekter provides the boost of energy your looking for, in the morning, before or after a workout, or to complement a meal. Come by and come often!

I was so excited to bring my daughter here. I recently moved back to the area after living on the East Coast. It's so nice to be able to grab a fresh smoothie with real ingredients. My daughter ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and I got my favorite -Berry Banana Burst. She liked hers but ended up loving mine even more, so we swapped. We're looking forward to coming back here to try the mini acai bowl next!

Huge thank you to Jamie and the other team member who was working with her yesterday (sorry, I forgot her name)! I mentioned to Jamie that my husband had just gotten out of surgery and all he wanted was a Nekter bowl. They were extremely kind and went over the top with their service even though it was almost closing time. Certainly made a rough day a little bit better! Thanks again!!

Thank you to the Lake Forest Nektar team on the ground in the shop. Shelby took great care of me, and is a great example of great customer service. Appreciate you. My only request would be that you provide plastic alternative cups and especially straws.
