I’ve been going to Smoothie King since I was a freshman athlete at UT. It used to be great. Then… management changed.
Now? Well, now the new management must not know what they are doing or how to assure their associates are making correct smoothies.
I’ve given it about 5 or 6 chances for them to prove themselves since the management change, and this 6th time they failed again. I ordered a small gladiator, with banana and acaii. Not a hard smoothie to make. Caveat: I had a friend who worked there when it WAS good. He told me and showed me the good way to make a smoothie: if it’s too thick? add water, not full enough? Add more ice or water.
WELL…
This new management and their staff must not have a CLUE. The gladiator I ordered was too thick and wasn’t even filled up to the top. Complete slop for the 7 dollars I paid. Y’all need help.

First, I had to wait twenty minutes to get a yogurt D-​lite, and it was not worth my time. It was way sweeter than the smoothies I got from other places, and I could not even finish half of it.

The smoothies are good, but some of the staff sucks. Notably, the girl who works there and wears the ZTA jacket. I’ve dealt with her before, and I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking she was having a bad day. But, apparently her life is one big bad day. Both times she’s been rude and acts like taking orders is such a burden. Probably will come here much less because of the service.

Just came here for a smoothie at 2 pm on a Sunday. I ordered the banana boat smoothie and it was delicious. My only complaint is the customer service. The girl who took my order/​made my smoothie did not smile or even make an attempt to be nice to me. Then when she made my drink, she was eating. So unprofessional. I know this is just a college job for her, but I don’t know if I want to come back despite my tasty smoothie.

Love this place! First smoothie I ever had was at this establishment and I really enjoyed it. I became a regular here and think the smoothies are excellent and so very refreshing. The staff are friendly and the prices are great, I would highly recommend this establishment if you are searching for a smoothie in the west campus area. Can’t wait to stop by here again! :)

DO NOT PARK HERE unless you are ABSOLUTELY going to be here for less than an hour. I walked out of Fricano’s (next door) after one hour and six minutes and found a tow truck already outside and ready to drive off with my car. Five minutes later a lady who had eaten with a friend at Smoothie King had the same problem. Because the tow truck drivers hadn’t driven out of the parking lot yet it cost us $ 50 each instead of $ 125. The businesses that share this parking lot (Smoothie King, Fricano’s, and The Callaway House,
) should have some better system for turning customers around fast than just have everyone towed after EXACTLY one hour!
Oh yeah, Smoothie King has decent yogurt.

Beware parking is bad, I just was very lucky today (Sunday afternoon). If you drive into the super small lot, realize the concrete border sticks out and you need to pull wide. I saw the SUV go over the curb there and I tried to avoid it but hit it as well. Just saying. If you are in the area on foot, prime location, not in cars. I’ll will venture to other locations.
I am hooked on Smoothie KIng for its nutrion add-in’s. I add immune booster. if I feel run-​down or to ward off germs. Is pricey, but many smoothies are. Cental Market is comparable, but with no nutrition add-​ins. Server was really nice and quick.

I had heard great things about Smoothie King, and I know, I know it’s a chain. But, this location is amazing. It’s clean, the staff are always friendly… Last time I was there, they held all the doors open for me on the way out.
Plus, if you check in on Unilocal you get a coupon.
The raspberry smoothie is so YUMMY! I rarely like smoothies, but these are practically addicting. they’re so good that even though they are 20 blocks away, our office regularly sends someone up to get smoothies.

So expensive. I spent more than $ 5 on a small strawberry smoothie. Then they tried to rip me off some more by asking if I wanted to add any nutrition supplements. Although the smoothie tasted good, I could’ve made it myself.

Who ever the two gentlemen who were working today at one were very helpful, polite, and very attractive. They helped me find what would be best for me and were very polite and welcoming. Was nice to have a little small talk and meet a fellow Bostonian. A little pricey, but a nice clean happy environment!

I love this place. I live pretty near by and go when I want something healthy but delicious. LIke a reviewer below said, this place smells nice. Nothing better than walking into a smoothie place where you can smell all the delicious fruits! All the workers are always nice and fast which is an added plus when I’m in a hurry to get to class or work. They also have some tables outside if you want to enjoy your smoothie on a nice day. Overall, this is a great smoothie place!

Unilocal should really not allow individuals to review chains, but I guess I do still like to write one because it makes me feel like I am peeing on my territory. kind of like a dog marks his trees.
Thus, here I go with Smoothie King. I went in with a discount, so I obviously was already very pleased with the value. A huge 32 oz. smoothie for a mere $ 5 flat. The whole foods smoothies are 16 oz. for $ 6+! They probably use better quality ingredients, but goodness gracious!
The Passion Passport contains passionfruit, mango, protein, 140g sugar, bananas, and papaya. Yes, tons of sugar… but it is worth it. This smoothie has a hint of tartness, lots of flavor, and the bold combination means you can mix in an enhancer without tasting it.
Sure, you have no need to look to a review to know that Smoothie King is a franchise, but I think the quality here is defined by what most longtime institutions have: consistency.

Rude server. Went there this morning to see if they had veggie/​fruit smoothies. Walked up to the counter to inquire and the guy, a blond Nordic looking dude, literally looks out the window while he talked to me. «No, we only have fruit» were his only uttered words. His expression was of shear boredom and contempt at being bothered. No wonder the entire store was empty.
Went to Jamba Juice down the street and had a great time with a friendly server who described their new drinks to me and I ordered the largest they had and added a whey protein just because of the good information/​feedback. I will be back here exclusively.
Customer service matters. In the words of Edina from AbFab when confronted with a rude salesperson: «You only work in a shop you know, you can drop the attitude.»

Go for the high protein shakes. «Healthy» as they might be, the majority of the shakes on the menu have little to no balance in terms of macronutrient ratios. 50 grams of carbs and no protein or fat is not healthy, I don’t care what kind of carbs they are.

The main downside to this location is its location — near campus, so busy streets, tough parking. HOWEVER, it is worth finding a spot to come in and get a darned good smoothie. I went in without knowledge of offerings or what to get, and told the extremely friendly person at the counter that I wanted something good for breakfast, with adequate protein and fruit. On the healthy side. She recommended a Protein Power smoothie with bananas and strawberries, and it’s terrific. She even said if I didn’t like it she’d replace it, but it wasn’t necessary. It’s the best smoothie I’ve had yet in Austin. I keep finding other smoothie places have something. .. lacking. I’ve never figured out what exactly that might be. But whatever it is, Smoothie King has it. At least in this shake. I’m very happy, and look forward to getting another great breakfast drink on my way to work!

Nothing better than a ice-​cold smoothie on a hot, Texas day! This place is great!
The store is clean and smells nice (is that weird to notice?). While this isn’t the place to go if you’re in a hurry, each smoothie is custom-​made from scratch. You can substitute items (e.g. «take out the banana and substitute strawberry) and even have them make it with Splenda or Stevia instead of sugar!
I’ve been a long-​term customer so I have some recommendations:
Orange Ka-​Bam — Only if you like orange juice. I take out the bananas and substitute strawberries in it for that tart-​yet-​sweet, strawberry-​orangey taste.
Peanut Power Plus with Grape — Okay, I realize grape does not sound good in a peanut smoothie, but its basically a PB&J smoothie. Awesome.
Power Punch Plus — Creamy, strawberry-​banana, healthy. What’s not to love?

Gotta Unilocal this chain solely for the service that comes from this location.
VENUE: off 24th if it’s a hot day expect to look for parking else where beside the lot that holds like 8 cars.
FOOD/​DRINK: Typical yummy smoothie king.
SERVICE: The guy who makes my drink is ALWAYS super friendly, sweet, accommodating, etc.

I love smoothie king! I think it all started in college and I asked the girl what she recommended. She stated that Angel Food Cake was one of their best sellers. I gave it a shot and I was hooked.
I have never had any other flavor, but Angel Food. This smoothie king is always clean and I’ve never had to wait in line. Price seems to be average compared to other smoothie places. I love that they also sell a wide variety of protein, snack, granola bars. I’ve even bought a blender ball from this location.
Oh, yeah the punch card is a PLUS!!!
