Pretty good juice bar in downtown Summerlin. Their acai bowls are packed and filling. Their juices are great too!

The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because of the poor customer service. Every time I have been there they are extremely efficient with getting the product out, but are not very friendly. I tipped them and did not get any Thank you, and when saying thank you to them for my smoothie, I get no reply of your welcome or have a good day. I have worked in customer service for 6 years, and I know what good quality customer service is. Wonderful product though.

This is one of my favorite places to go! I have tried almost all of the smoothies and some of the acai bowls. They are all very delicious! They are a little expensive though. Also, I tried a drink one time and couldn’t take more than a couple sips of it, it had way too much ginger and was very potent. I just stick to the smoothies and I’m all good :)

First time visiting since my friend had a coupon for a buy one get one free& so we walk in were just standing away from the counter deciding what to get. The guy asks«are you guys ready?» We said not yet and after that it was complete silence, no suggestions on what to get but the guy was staring at us the whole time. i got the pink flamingo & it had flavors of Pitaya, strawberry, agave nectar& coconut juice but when I tasted it was really bitter. It did not taste how it looked or how it was described. The guy was nice enough to pour more agave nectar in but personally just that experience alone got me double thinking not to come back& stick to my jamba juice or other smoothie/juice places.

I am always looking for a good fresh juice place in town. This happens to be one of them. Friendly staff and prices are best in town for fresh juices.

I’ve been here several times and the smoothies are always very refreshing. The employees are super friendly. The wait is worth it because the smoothies are always so good.

I love their bowls-I feel like you can’t go wrong with those. Their drinks and smoothies are another story. If you get one of their«Green» drinks be prepared for that celery/parsley flavor what ever it is that is so strong and sour in those-They just make me think of stomach bile. You’d think because they say there is apple or carrot in the drink it would add some sweetness but it doesn’t. Their pink flamingo drink is a safe bet. The chocolate dream is alright, don’t expect it to taste like chocolate. Health nut I don’t get. It legit doesn’t taste like much of anything just a faint nutty flavor. The smoothies come out way too watery or with too much ice. I’d like to know if they use a recipe with precise amounts of stuff or just eyeball the ingredients. It seems to me that they eyeball and that is why things are too watery and the flavors are off.

This place is just amazing! I went here this weekend when I was in Downtown Summerlin shopping. I was feeling a bit under the weather so I wanted a drink that has ginger in it. I tried the«Toxin Flush» asked for extra ginger. Man, it was the best tasting juice I’ve had! It was green so at first I thought it would taste bitter somehow, but when I took my first sip, I was in love! It was refreshingly good and the taste was very mild. I can drink that thing all day, every day! I cannot wait to come back here and try their Acai bowls! I saw that they have different kinds here and I will have to try them all!

I decided to come here because I wanted to be healthy. The Pitaya bowl caught my eye due to the girlish, bright, fuschia color. It came with bananas, coconut butter, coconut flakes, granola, pineapple, agave nectar, etc. It was only 440 calories and $ 7.95. I liked it a lot. I can picture myself stopping by to order this again and I would like to try their other acai bowls and juices. I ate this for lunch and was slightly hungry after. The food smell at surrounding restaurants in Downtown Summerlin were overwhelming so I had to get out of there quick. No complaints about the service and the speed in which my bowl was ready. The juice bar has a cute décor too. They also sell juice cleanses which I’m curious about even though I have mixed feelings about them. I would have to do more research and read reviews before I spend $$$ on these juice cleanses. I will update if I do decide to try them out.

Quick Takeaway: Grab a nutritious smoothie, smoothie bowl or fresh pressed juice while you focus on your shopping game. Shop til’ you drop then grab a smoothie. Done and done. Pricey? Nah– They’re right in line with other juice/smoothie bars. Just don’t come here expecting dollar menu quality or pricing and you’ll be good. Worth it? Yes. You can’t drive up to it easily so this isn’t for your grab and go situations when you’re not shopping(sad face). It’s really targeted for those shopping and exploring downtown Summerlin. Where: Downtown Summerlin(I believe it’s right outside of Macy’s) Service: They were patient, friendly, helpful and outgoing during our visit. My husband and I were overwhelmed by the menu options and opted to try out their smoothie suggestion. We Ordered: Two Pink Flamingos Overall: The cashier was friendly and suggested we try their most popular smoothie. The Pink Flamingo smoothie get’s its name from the vibrant pink color. The pink color comes from pitaya(aka dragon fruit). The pitaya was mixed with strawberries, pineapple and coconut water. Yum. This combo made for one cool and tasty beverage. I will be a customer and look forward to trying out their bowls and other flavors in the future.

I have completed the advanced cleanse kit. It actually did exactly what it was supposed to do. it’s not a «flush»(aka super high in fiber) but it’s nutrition rich. It was actually kind of hard for me to drink that much juice in one day AND keep up water intake. I didn’t really find I was super hungry but needed to munch so 2 of the 4 days a grabbed a handful of almonds and that was it for anything but juice. I read a previous review about the taste of the juice. I actually thought they were all quite tasty. Yes, you can taste celery as a stronger flavor in the red beet based juice, but it’s not overpowering and beet is still main flavor. To be honest, I don’t understand that person’s review at all. I juice a lot for nutritional reasons and there are certain things that if you put it in(celery) you are going to taste it more than other ingredients! The one thing that was just an itty-bitty bit disappointing is the last drink of the day which is milky looking and I thought would taste like a protein drink. It’s a nut-based product so nuts, water, sweetener and a little flavor. It actually tasted good but I was hoping it was thicker and more satisfying. The texture thing was just odd. I doubt other people would notice it. 3rd and 4th day I did add a little bit of «cinnamon swirl» protein powder I have on hand to correct texture and then added more nutmeg and cinnamon just because I wanted to. ;-) much better for me that way. Now. on the results. The total calorie content is too high for me to lose weight(a little over a thousand calories a day.) Most people would probably lose weight on that! Unfortunately, that’s not me. The really great part is that when I was done, I had completely lost all desire for non-healthy food. really. potato chips didn’t even cross my mind. What I did start craving was actually a dish from Krayvings that’s healthy, simple and easy to duplicate… which I did! After finishing my cleanse I got back on FitDay and started tracking food intake again. I’m averaging about 1200 calories a day but did drop a couple of pounds.(Isn’t it sick how little that is and it’s *maintenance* level?) Honestly, I wish I could afford to do the advanced cleanse at least once a month. It’s packed with nutrition, easy, tasty, and just makes me feel better in general. BTW, there’s another brand packaged similarly at Whole Foods. You want some yucky tasting stuff at a higher price. go for that! I bought 2 individual bottles. Blech. Shout out to Josh and rest of staff at Nektar for great service, informative conversations and overall friendliness! I can’t wait for the 2nd location to open.(near 24 hour fitness in Summerlin)

Yummy juice bar. A bit noisy since they have the back opened up so you can see what’s going on but also hear everything too. Takes a bit to crank out a smoothie which from a get-up and go societal perspective, is a bit long. Clean, great service, and it’s in a good location in Downtown Summerlin. No clue on the cleanses since I don’t do that stuff but from what I read, YMMV.

Nekter Juice Bar offers up more than juices, which is a good thing if you’re a fan of acai bowls(like me) and not so much of a fan of juices(like me). After I saw Cathy C.‘s photos for her acai bowl, my stomach did a happy dance, rejoicing that another place near me was offering up the fruity goodness. I had the Acai Banana Berry bowl(«acai, banana, nut milk and berries blended together on top of agave granola topped with bananas, blueberries, and strawberries»). I also added spinach and kale for extra nutrients and I’d definitely order this again as it was fresh, flavorful, and fruity. I came here with Angela T. and she had ordered the Pitaya Bowl. I didn’t really like the sample of her bowl that much; it was too sour for my taste and she didn’t exactly enjoy it, either. If you’re visiting Downtown Summerlin and have a hankering for a juice, smoothie, or acai bowl, stop by Nekter.

Came in here to grab a smoothie and Acai bowl before shopping. I have always heard amazing things about Nekter and I was very excited to try it out. My first time being here I asked the cashier(remind you i was the only person inside the place) what his favorite thing was on the menu. He told me he didnt eat there. Ummm ok interesting? Then i asked the girl cashier who was standing there staring at me what her favorite thing was and she said«i don’t know, i guess everything» Ummmm ok. haha So i asked if any of the Acai bowls could be made without Nuts because I am severely allergic. She said«No» and walked away. I looked at the guy and he just shrugged. So I opted for a Smoothie. I asked him several times to please not put nuts in it for it had called for i believe cashew milk or almond milk and he said they couldn’t substitute… Now with my extensive background and knowledge in the restaurant industry I was pretty taken back by this. I really didn’t understand why he couldn’t just sub coconut water, soy milk, or even just tap water for the other. Then I asked to build my own Smoothie and they said There were probably nuts in all the smoothie blenders. I was very unhappy to hear this. I will just stick to juicing and blending at home before going to DT Summerlin.

Nekter is a chain in California, Arizona and Colorado. They have juices, smoothies and acai bowls. You can grab a 1-day supply of cleansing juices for less than $ 50. I personally don’t believe in juicing per se but hey, to each their own. After having lunch in the area, I wanted a sweet treat. I also needed to undo the bad taste of a bad acai bowl I had hours prior to coming here. It took me 2 acai bowls to make it happen. The place has a nice vibe. They have seating inside and outside. I ordered 2 acai bowls which came out quick. The problem I found is that they only come in 1 size(for about $ 8) which is large for most places and is anywhere from 390−520calories. They have lids in case you can’t finish it. PB Bowl: Peanut butter, acai, cashew milk, strawberries, banana, hempseed, granola, dates and agave nectar. I added whey protein for a few cents extra. This was recommended by the girl behind the counter since I couldn’t figure out which 2 bowls I wanted. Excellent!!! I couldn’t stop eating this. The flavors and textures were perfect. The granola was light and crunchy even if I let it sit for a while. 5⁄5 Pitaya Bowl: Acai, Pitaya, banana, coconut butter, coconut water, pineapple, granola, agave nectar and coconut flakes. Refreshing and fruity. Perfect consistency and naturally very colorful. 4⁄5

Good Quality, Great Prices! If you’re a seasoned«juicer,» you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the prices here. A 2-day«advanced cleanse» which comes in 2 neat little cooler bags(one for each day) will run you $ 89 which is a great deal for juice cleanses! If you have ever juiced at home yourself and know how much time/effort, fruits & veggies go into making a cleanse, you know that buying a cleanse is much more worth it. Ready to-go nut milks on display from the cooler are about $ 7.50 while juices are $ 6. Considering most juice places in SoCal/LA &LV charge between $ 8 — $ 10 per juice or nut milk, this is a great deal and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Their juices are definitely good in regards to taste and quality, especially considering the price. The reason for 4 stars is because they are not«great» as I’ve tried numerous other juice spots in NYC, LA, and LV so when compared to others, they do fall a bit short. Maybe it is just growing pains since they are relatively new so I’ll update if things get better. Nektar also offer smoothies which SEEM(seem being the key word here) to be a better deal at $ 9.95 for the 32 oz. However, both times we got smoothies they were good but seemed REALLY watered down so I guess you get what you pay for. Both smoothies tasted like they used probably the same amount of nuts /other quality ingredients as the ~16 oz nut milks in the cooler, simply blended with ice or water so you’re paying an extra $ 2.50 or so for blended ice water essentially. Overall, I would come back if they keep their prices low or I am in the area as the juices from their cleanse were definitely all good and there was nothing intolerable as I’ve experienced with other cleanses. However, if they ever do raise their price, I would probably stick with Function Juicery.

Very, very tasty juices. I ordered one of the green juices with tons of kale and found it delicious. It’s not cheap — $ 6 or so for a small is nothing to laugh at — but the ingredients appear to be high quality. I had to knock it down one star because of price(though it’s not insanely overpriced or anything) and because it took nearly 10 minutes to make my juice. There wasn’t a line, so I’m not sure what the hold-up was.

Looking for juice bars to try out is always on my list when visiting new areas. Being an avid juicer/vitamixer I am always open to new ideas. Nektar is located in the newer Summerlin shopping area and has a nice, earthy décor. Wooden planks and scenic naturalist photography line the walls. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The menu has a nice variety of juice and smoothie options. Most of the smoothies have cashew milk as the«milk» in the smoothie. My daughter got a strawberry banana smoothie which she said was fine. I think she thought it’d be sweeter, I tried it and it was pretty good, but I don’t go for ultra sweet tastes. I got a green juice consisting of spinach, kale, green apple, lemon, lots of extra ginger and I added cayenne myself. It was good, I still must add a lot more ginger to my home drinks than anywhere else(minus Fully Loaded in Leucadia) bc when I say I want a lot of ginger, bring it on people. This didn’t have the kick I was hoping for. Over all, the place is nice, I like how more juice bars are popping up and introducing more to healthier alternatives to enjoying beverages.

Not impressed with the«featured» greens drink– someone must have mixed up the ratios of cucumber and celery, because there’s no reason for what I drank to be so overwhelmingly bitter. Not sure if the specific person who helped me is to blame or if their drink ingredients are simply a rough guideline to follow. I make green juices regularly at home, but clearly no attempt was made at balancing the flavors in this drink. In addition to fresh juices, menu also includes smoothies and a host of acai bowls– trying the peanut butter version is next on my list. Didn’t notice until after I ordered at the counter that they have bottled cold-press juices(which I prefer) in the refrigerated case: I’ll stick to those next time. Location is by the Macy’s entrance, you’ll know you’re near if you see the Bath and Body Works or Brighton stores.
