Nekter Juice Bar — Restaurant in Irvine

Just visited this location in Irvine (6793 Quail Hill Parkway) at 5:40, only to find the doors locked. Store hours shown on the door say it is open until 7. After standing a few minutes, an employee walks up to the door to unlock it, and says “I’m on a break.” At this point I’m super confused and ask if the store is still open? He shrugs his shoulders, with an indifferent look on his face (and his face halfway down below his nose), and says again “I’m on my break.

This is one of my go-to spots whenever I’m in town because the bowls and juices are always refreshing. I’m about 10 minutes away by foot so I always order online and walk to pickup my order, and I’ve always experienced a turnaround time of 10-15 minutes, and I’ve ordered sporadically over the course of 2-3 years. I truly can’t relate to the other reviews regarding long wait times because my standard spot in SF is always a 15-20 minute wait, so that’s what I normally anticipate when ordering bowls specifically.
