Robeks

The lowest employees ever!!! Smh I waiting 23 mins for my smoothie and two people were in front of me…

I really love this place. The smoothies are great, are decently priced, and the people working there are friendly. My only issue is online and their phone message have the wrong closing time. Apparently they close at 7, but online it says they are open until 8 and when you call them their message says they are open until 9. It is a little disappointing when I have driven there wanting a smoothie after an evening run and they are closed.

I live walking distance to this Robeks. Their drinks are soooo good!!! Acai energizer is my go-​to! Their employees are very nice however, they always have one person working. They get pretty busy on the weekends. Seeing one person taking orders, trying to kill a line and make all the drinks at the same time is very frustrating for most customers. I wished they had at least 2 employees working at a time. Then maybe I’ll give them 4 stars!

I’m only giving one star because I have too. I went there today with my family and they are closed during posted business hours! Complete disappointment!

I was craving an acai bowl so thought I would try Robeks. No. I bit down on something hard and thought at first it might have been a chunk of coconut (like the bowls I would get in CA). It was ice. I continued to bite down on large chunks of ice until finally I gave up and let it sit in the hot car for 30 minutes while I shopped to see if it would be edible by then. The only fruit on top of the bowl were a scant amount of sliced strawberries and equally small portion of mushy brownish bananas. I think I will stick with making mine at home with the freezer packs of acai.

So I’m giving 2 stars because the smoothies/​juices here are all REALLY good (unlike some of the competitors) but honestly I don’t even bother trying to go anymore because every time I do there is only 1 person working to answer the phone, ring people out, and make smoothies. Sometimes there are 2 people and even then it still takes forever!!! These places are supposed to be an in and out kind of thing, I’m not trying to wait all day for a smoothie. Don’t waste your time going unless they decide to hire more staff!!!

I like this shop. I just started taking a one ounce wheatgrass shot on a daily basis followed up with a green smoothie. Believe me most people will need a chaser. I just tried the shot on a whim. Tastes like $h#+ but I have noticed some benefits I wont mention on Unilocal.Everyone will react to things differently so read up on wheatgrass and give it a try. I do copy recipes at home with Trader Joe items and do just as well. Until I grow my own wheatgrass, I’ll still use theirs.

Went there earlier today and received horrible service. Not only did the cashier not understand my order but it took forever for them to make an Acai bowl and Banana split bowl. In the description on top it came with granola. Instead what we got was melted smoothie and NO granola. They were so busy they gave my acai bowl to another person standing next to me. Never coming back here. Waste of money and time

Customer service here is pretty bad. They fight hard not to honor coupons and never blend the smoothies for long enough, so they are always chunky. If you ask them to blend it longer they glare at you while they’re doing it. Also I have I have been by the store a couple of times in the middle of the day when it is closed for apparently no reason. They just didn’t feel like working I guess. Typical case of franchisees who thought they could get rich quick and were shocked when they discovered they actually had to work and be nice to customers.
It’s a shame, because I really like the smoothies (only reason I am giving two stars).

Robeks is a good place for a smoothie pit-​stop. They have a variety of options from regular fruit smoothies, to veggie blends, body-​builder/​post-​workout smoothies, juices, acai bowls, and a variety of snacks and drinks for the typical health nut. You can also add a booster for 25 cents (Protein, fat burner, multivitamin, etc.)
My personal favorite is the Acai Energizer smoothie– it is tasty, sweet, and leaves me satisfied. I love that they have the nutritional information readily available; thus you can see that these smoothies have a lot of sugar content in them. People are quick to say it’s because they add tons and tons of extra sugar. No. If you are drinking a smoothie made with real fruits, guess what real fruits have? Why yes, real sugar! Take into account the juices/​yogurt/​protein/​etc. that they add, and the sugar content increases. Despite the insulin spike, it is still a far better snack option than your typical frappuccino.
My only thing about this place is that it doesn’t seem very… welcoming. For example, a sign was hidden and written in chicken-​scratch and only when I sat down to wait for my smoothie did I realize that it said «Chia seeds $ 1.00». I would have loved to have added that in my smoothie! Alas, next time.
Small shop, but it’s in a great location. A little revamping and this place would have flocks of customers. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

I received a gift card for a bachelorette present and have been going regularly ever since. It will either be really crowded or empty. I haven’t figured out the magical timeframe so I can always beat the crowd, sometimes I’m just lucky. The customers are friendly and we usually start talking to each other while we’re sitting there waiting.
Emperor Acai is very yummy. Tried the 800lb gorilla (used as a meal replacement). Only need a medium for this bad boy. There’s chocolate and peanut butter in this drink and is VERY filling. Very yummy too! I try to order drinks containing greek yogurt or any of the regular juices. Tropi-​Kale is another favorite.
Very nice staff. They do their best when there is a long line of people wanting them to whip up shakes in a hurry. If you bring your patience and perhaps go shopping next door at BB&B, you won’t get upset. I usually order 2 more drinks to save me a trip back.

I love this place, terrific smoothies made from real ingredients. In other words, it beats the heck out of sugary Smoothie King. I recommend the emperor Acai.

Great smoothies… not as great as Jamba Juice. I wish this location would open on time though.

Robeks is alright. I can make better smoothies on my own, but when I’m out doing errands this is the most «healthy» I can get without getting off course in trying to eat as healthy as possible.
Yesterday my bf got the iced mocha. That drink was SUPER yummy, probably a little bit «healthier» than starbucks frapps and what not.
The drink I got was the super green. Which has spinach, green tea, pineapple juice (subbed for banana), and greek yogurt. I didn’t like my drink too much because I felt like I can taste the residuals of kale from the blender. Oh well.
All in all decent place to grab a «healthy» drink if you’re on the go. If you sign up for their newsletter you’ll get a free drink up until the end of the month! Only applies to their fan favorites and classic flavors!

A horrible experience! When I walked in, I knew I would wait because there was only one staff working. I didnt mind it but after 40 minutes later and 4 people that came after me got their drinks, she asks me what I ordered. She had forgotten my drink and didnt even add the 2 boosters I had asked for, that is my money they have taken away! The most ridiculous thing is it was not even what I ordered. I will never go back, I am gonna stick to tropical smoothie and smoothie king.

On the end of a sleepy shopping center. The place doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic and it shows. Counter was on the phone chatting while making my my smoothie. Talked so loudly on the phone I ended up not sitting and having my drink. Not coming back

This place always has the same lady working, no other employees are ever here, she’s always slow if there are people here or not. I just waited 26 minutes for my smoothie and I love robeks bit I’ve walked out of his very store twice when I saw her try to take on everyone alone. This store is clearly trying to stay above water and has no money to get help. I seriously recommend smoothie king less then a mile away. They don’t even have cup holders if you get your family drinks, she just sent this girl out with 3 drinks in a plastic bag. Is that a robeks thing or this store cutting corners like they have with employees? Anyway this is my first Unilocal review ever written but people must be warned. It was so bad I had to sign up for Unilocal

Man no wonder Americans are fat. FAT!!! This stuff is chock full of sugar, and it’s touted as health food.
I went because I was super desperate, hungry, pressed for time, and it was late. Bad mistake. I ended up spending half an hour looking at the nutritional info. And it was eye opening. Their stuff is delicious but it is definitely bad for you.
This place gets 3 stars though because the high school kids behind the counter were super nice and helpful. The drink I got was pretty delicious, and they stripped it of sugar. Ie they didn’t add any syrup. That said, it was still so sweet to be nearly undrinkable. I ended up throwing most of it away.

I love Robeks. Period. However for this specific location… I’ve never been able to order. I’ve been to this location all of 3 times during the daytime and every time, there’s been one worker with at least 5 people waiting around. They are customers waiting to order or waiting to receive their order and with one worker… this takes a while. I’ve come by to quickly get a smoothie and go back to work but I’ve waited sometimes 10 minutes with no line movement so I’ve just left.
I think the manager (s) really needs to hire a second employee during the day because whoever is working by themselves is struggling. Not their fault at all because there SHOULD be one person manning the cash register and another making drinks to make it more efficient. Management should change this. asap.

great place for wheat grass shots except for the fact that they are using styros for cups. get rid of that and i will add another star
