Better Blendz — Restaurant in San Diego

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Better Blendz is hands down one of the best smoothie shops I’ve ever been to! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and full of good vibes. The staff here go above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable—every single person behind that counter is kind, respectful, and always has a smile on their face.

One thing that really stands out to me is how personal they make the experience. They remember your face, your name, and even your order—which says a lot about how much they care about their customers. That type of service is rare these days and it’s what keeps me coming back. It’s not just a smoothie—it’s an experience.

The smoothies themselves are always fresh, delicious, and made with high-quality ingredients. You can taste the difference. Whether you’re in the mood for something fruity, green, or packed with protein, they’ve got the perfect blend for you. They even take the time to customize your drink if you have special requests or dietary needs, and they do it with patience and a positive attitude.

I love knowing I can walk in and be greeted like family, grab something that’s actually good for my body, and walk out feeling better than I did when I came in. That’s what Better Blendz is all about—great service, great products, and even better people. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who appreciates top-notch service and a smoothie that...

In all honesty I like the juices I’ve had here more than the smoothies. The Great Green and Beet It juices are both very tasty and well-balanced. I definitely recommend them both!

The issue with some of the smoothies I’ve tried—Pure Protein and Berry Believer—is that they both had ingredients that made them feel a bit try-hard, but to no avail. The avocado in the Pure Protein gave it an off taste that messed with the otherwise nice flavor profile; the mint in the Berry Believer created an odd aftertaste that turned an otherwise refreshing smoothie semi-sour.

However, I did really enjoy the Paradise smoothie, probably because it was just fruit and coconut water, nothing overly fancy.

I still think this place deserves credit, as the juices rock and the store is very aesthetic, cleanly, and picturesque. I also need to give some of the food items a try and update this review in the future!

Update: I had the avocado toast, and I must say that I wasn’t super impressed. The type of toast they use has too thick of a crust which makes it difficult to chew, and they put way too much arugula on the dish. Overall I give this place a...

Moved to North Park in March 2021 and have been coming to Pure Press ever since. Walked in to get a smoothie and inquire about purchasing a 30 or 60 day juice subscription for a specific diet I’ll be starting next week. My idea was pay for it all up front: something like 6 smoothies and 6 juices per week which I would pick up myself.

But the women at the register treated me like she didn’t even want me in the store. Wouldn’t speak to me about it and was told “we don’t do that here” in a completely unhelpful, demeaning manner like… don’t bother me or inconvenience me. Unreal…

Even if that’s something they don’t normally do, the idea of turning down several hundred dollars worth of business without inquiring further was perplexing at best. A simple response could’ve been “we don’t normally do that, but let me get someone you can speak to and see if they can help or explain further”. But no – just a horrible attitude and treating me like I shouldn’t even be there asking for their business.

I’ll be going elsewhere...
