Smoothie King — Restaurant in Manchester

The smoothies mostly just tasted like sugary water and ice with very little real fruit blended in, if any. A lot of the smoothie ingredients just listed a fruit juice, yogurt or other creamer, and turbinado sugar. Turbinado sugar is still sugar. Tasted alright initially, but I ended up throwing the last third of my drink away.

And the smoothies are expensive! That's a lot to pay for just a few low-quality ingredients.

Additionally, this store seems obsessed with body shape. I've never seen a store selling food with so many posters of half-naked people, mostly women, on the walls. I'm a slim 20-something guy without body image issues, but I felt that the message of the advertising was inappropriate, in-your-face, and offensive. I won't be returning.

But I have to admit, the staff behind the counter was really helpful and very nice. I wish they had a better product and atmosphere to offer...

The sour attitude really does NOT pair well with the poor quality of the smoothies. Every visit is met with condescending remarks from the owners themselves who seem like they don’t even want to be there. If you aren’t a part of the local suburban clique, be prepared to get treated like a peasant in the medieval era! I don’t get the logic in treating paying customers like trash for no reason but I guess they hate making money. As for the smoothies - that could be an entire other review on it’s own. It’s custom tradition there to skimp out on every ingredient possible. The end result is just a bunch of water and ice. Trust me when I say just get a blender and make your own smoothie at home because it will always be better than whatever mystery liquid it is that...

I visit this location every Friday morning for the awesome $5 smoothie deal!! The staff in the last month has become young, rude and not experienced at all. This morning however, was the worst i have seen it in a long time. I believe the guy that was working register was new but still didn't understand that the $5 smoothies were the 32OZ cups, not the smalls. Which in turn was making it confusing for the girl making the smoothies. They messed up 4 orders before me, no communication and the new guy was making it exceptionally hard for her. My suggestion would be if you are going to hire someone new and start them on a Friday, to have back up...
