Absolutely LOVE this place!! I visited the Decatur location for the first time last week, and I was overwhelmingly pleased with the detox juice, flu shot, and breakfast panini that I ordered. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was good--REALLY good. I went back the next day and ordered the exact same thing. I will definitely add this spot to my rotation of restaurants that I frequent.

Has one price on a chalk board then a different one on a menu. When I put in register price was different than either board or menu! The staff did nothing to remedy the situation except smile and say oops. I won't come back. That's not good customer service.

I absolutely love this place and come 1-2 times a week. My favorites change, but I tend to get the tuna panini lunch special with the salad and the cacao smoothie. Yum. Everything is fresh, organic, etc and gluten free is offered. That kind of place. They also serve delicious breakfast sandwiches all day along with coffee and tea. Their raw juices are really good as well but I just love the smoothies too much not to get them. If you like fresh/organic type food then this is your place. They have a new food truck location at Piedmont Park next to the pool.

It all started with a typical run in Piedmont Park. My roommate and I were done and decided to take a walk through the mini outdoor market that was going on. I stumble upon the Nectar food truck and was convinced to get a homemade protein peanut butter popsicle. Skeptical at first, I ended up really liking the popsicle. I kind of thought it would be gritty but it was very smooth and didn't just taste like I was whoofing down lots of peanut butter. I was so in love with the popsicle, one cold sunday morning I sought out the actual restaurant. Just a cute small place in Decatur, I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel panini and a nutella milkshake. I wasn't going for any sort of health in my breakfast choices, I just pick items that seemed appetizing at once glance of the menu. This place has many healthy, veggie options and even have wheat grass shots, which I was wary to try at the time. It's a little far from me, maybe I'll search for their food truck again soon! :D

I just got the Ice Yerba Matte Tea through using my Scoutmob app. I'm glad I did! It's healthy, sweet and refreshing! Perfect for a hot day. The cafe was very quiet. There were only two other people inside and they both left by time I got my drink. I liked the decor; portraits lining orange and brown walls. I would like to come back and try a smoothie here because they have a wide variety of healthy options.
(3)Darren H.
I followed the advice of a few other yelpers here & got the coconut smoothie, man it was good to the last drop & my girl was fighting me to have some as well. (you said that you didn't want anything, hmm?). Cute little place next time i'll come by when I haven't had the BBQ next door.
(3)Dillon H.
Garb's food truck is the best. Miss the dude, gotta be at the Emory truck more often. He cooks a meaaaaan sandwich, and he's great with customer service. Dude loves printers
(5)Emily W.
Smoothies, juices and "shots" are excellent and made upon ordering. I just went for lunch with a friend and it was very good. I got the tuna panini with truffle oil and it was yummy. I also like that they use minimal ingredients that are organic, fresh and local. Definitely a place worth checking out!
(4)Lou G.
It's a juice place. What comes to mind? Healthy juices. Got it. Organic shit. Got it. Slightly higher prices. Got it. Would I go back? Absolutely! Go for juices and smoothies, real fruit, no sugar. Coffee was not my favorite, and while it was politically correct, it was palatably (made up word) incorrect. The owner is super friendly. Me likey.
(4)William K.
There is a really good smoothie with orange juice,mango and banana. Really good and right next to the pool!
(5)Laura W.
I'm doing a juice cleanse at the moment, and this place was perfect. The prices are also decent considering what you are getting (think the same as whole paycheck) and actually made on the spot for you, as well. I got two juices, one was the Daily Green and the other was the Purifier, both were good (obviously, those who don't like juice should use caution). There wqas also a good selection of green juices. While I was there, there was a table of guests eating some quite delicious looking sandwiches, as well. Looking forward to the next juice!
(3)Sol A.
I have been here twice so far and really liked it. I have only tried their raw juices (mainly because I was looking for something fresh) and so far enjoyed green of the day and sun salutation. Actually, I have really got into this juicing thing and I just bought my own juicer! So, lets see how that goes. But, that doesn't mean I;m not coming back, I really want to try their smoothies, they sound soo tasty!
(4)Clare A.
These people are soooo sweet, I almost don't want to say anything. But Nectar, please step up the game just a little bit, so I can love you like I want to! They've almost got it right... health, juices, smoothees, proper ingredients. But coming into a place like this, you think you'll get everything healthy you desire. They don't have honey to put in the tea.,.. only sugar. They don't have agave nectar or almond milk to put in the coffee.. only sugar and cream. C'mon guys, the name of the game is Nectar... local raw honey for my green tea? How obvious is that need? Also, if I ask for tomoatoes and mayonnaise on my breakfast sandwich, the thing takes 15 minutes and I'm the only person in the shop... pleeease put tomatoes and mayonnaise on my breakfast sandwich, especially when you charged me a dollar for a slice of tomato. Luckily, the manager caught the mayonnaise on my way out and they gave me some to go. Wish I had checked to make sure the tomato was on that super-melty, cheesy BEC. Again, please fix these things, so I can love you and stop in for a healthy breakfast! Thanks :-)
(3)Laura P.
Have been twice and both times my smoothies were great (recommend smoothie #3) and both sandwiches were fantastic. Had the new heart of palm sandwich today and ate everything including the crust! House made Russian sauce also is fantastic.
(5)Autumn S.
My family and I waited 20 minutes for 2 smoothies. Way too long. Then, they got my smoothie order wrong. Was so disappointed I drank it anyway. I should have gotten a lassi from next door, probably would have been quicker.
(2)Jayda T.
Tasty, but overpriced. Smoothies are the highlight. None of them are sweetened too much which is nice. You never know which cafés really use all organic stuff in their sandwiches... I asked the cook one time if the lettuce and tomato on my turkey pesto panini was organic too, and he kindly said "I don't know..." Lol ok...
(3)DJ V.
Enjoyed the coffee. Top Quality!
(4)Shazia T.
I had a Groupon to use and was glad to have it! I shared it with my sister. Here is what we had: - veggie panino - good, tasted really fresh - truffle panino - really really good and cheesy! the truffle oil was great! - coconut/pineapple/banana smoothie - gross, but i'm biased (i don't like bananas in my food) - custom smoothie of blueberries, peach, and mango with pomegranate juice - good, a lil tart (should have put honey in it) the owners are really nice and so is the staff.
(4)Katharine S.
I live extremely close to Nectar, but it took me a year--and the impetus of a gifted voucher--to finally try them out. One of the reasons why I wasn't more excited was the price: $4 for a (mere) 16 oz. smoothie and $7-9 for a salad or a sandwich is a little too expensive for cafe food, in my opinion. But with my voucher I could order with a clear financial conscience: I ordered a turkey reuben sandwich ($6.50, no side) and a 24 oz fruit smoothie ($5.29) to eat in and a smoked turkey and bacon panino to take home for later ($7, no side). DAMN was the reuben delicious! Their "house-made Russian Sauce" and the sauerkraut had just the right amount of tangy kick to it, and the sweet smoothie was the perfect pairing. Nectar's promotional material stresses that they use "as much local and organic ingredients as possible": perhaps that was what made my meal so over-the-top tasty. But I can only give them three stars: the space is a little crowded, and I ended up sitting near two mothers on a lunch date who were possibly both out of practice speaking with non-children and were thus slightly annoying to overhear and Nectar was piping in some psychedelic house music at just a twitch too high of volume. Such a shame, because they really have made the place look calm and aesthetically pleasing inside, and I would have liked to stay and read for a bit longer. And I hate to sound like snob, but the shopping plaza in which this is located is kind of unappealing. It's not trashy or sketch or anything, but it doesn't have the external ambiance that ought to go along with higher price tags on the stuffs sold inside. Were I to want to get bistro food in the North Decatur/Emory area, I'd be more likely to go to Panera in Emory Village next time: the chain-ness of Panera would be canceled out by the more appealing setting, the more expansive space, and the option of having enough money left over to get dessert.
(3)Sandy A.
Hands down a wonderful organic, juice, coffee tea, and breakfast/pannini spot in Decatur. So fresh and so clean clean. I never feel disgustingly full, always nourished back to health. I plan on waking up early to get one of many juice combos to get me charged for the day. Ardens Gardens.....pshhhhh. They have nothing on Nectar!

Wish this place was better. If you have a panini press and a blender you have this restaurant in your kitchen
(2)Barbara S.
This place is so wonderful and the staff are so friendly and helpful! The food is always so fresh and flavorful. The salads are crisp with just the right amount of dressing! It's so great that the owners are interested in having a good, healthy lunch selection while keeping the prices reasonable. The Coconut Soy smoothie is off the chain tasty and delicious! Ditto for the Nutella smoothie. They are now offering coffee and espresso drinks as well so I look forward to enjoying a nice latte on my next visit!
(4)Veda R.
I'll start this review by saying that the staff gets a full 5 stars from me for incredibly helpful and friendly service. The food was good...but was just good. I think Nectar's specialty may be in their smoothies and teas, and not food. My yerba mate iced tea was the best I've ever had. I picked Nectar expecting wholesome food and greens. I shared my order with my coworker. My lunch consisted of half a walnut chicken salad panini, described as "chicken Salad made with hormone free chicken breast, walnuts, cranberries served with organic greens and organic tomatoes" and half a smoked chicken panini, described as "hormone free chicken, house made pesto, mozzarella cheese, organic tomato, organic mixed greens." Flavor was there, ingredients were fresh, yep...no concerns there. My beef with Nectar is that their descriptions are exaggerated. When one says their sandwich comes with organic mixed greens, I don't expect ONLY a mixture of romaine and iceberg lettuce. I expect field greens, arugula, maybe a hint of romaine, radicchio...stuff like that. My lunch special came with a side salad. The croutons were great, but again, my salad consisted of "organic mixed greens" as we said above. I could have done better with Kroger, sorry. Secondly, anybody who is a proponent of the "green/slow food/organic/local" movement will know that the label of "hormone free" chicken is completely misleading and equivalent of having a label of "fat free" on a tomato. USDA regulations prohibit the use of hormones and steroids on poultry. So Nectar, I ask you -- is your hormone free chicken antibiotic free? Because that's what counts. These kinds of labels and advertising are very commonplace ("all natural, hormone free, organic") but for an establishment that touts itself as serving "food with love and without compromising the integrity of our planet," I expect more than misleading jargon.
(3)Gahee L.
After 2 years of ordering in from greasy, Asian restaurants, I decided to try Nectar for the first time today. I was delighted to find that the service was very courteous and friendly and that the food was very good. I ordered a panini that had mozzarella, chicken, greens and tomatoes and while a bit greasy, it tasted pretty good. The side greens and the small soup (2 pieces of toast came with it!) that I ordered along with it were also quite satisfactory. I plan to try their smoothies/drinks the next time I order.
(5)Heather N.
Sssstillll ssssooo ssllooowww... If you need a lesson in patience, this is the perfect spot for you! The smoothies and juices are great, so I dialed myself down to snail time and it was just fine. Cheers~
(3)Skape Z.
Juices are good and so are the smoothies but it's expensive, the service is slow, and the place needs ventilation - it always smells like burnt paninnis up in there. I'd say 2 and a half stars realistically.
(3)David R.
I WANTED to love this place, but I just couldn't. I got the spicy chipotle chicken sandwich and my chicken was overcooked and chewy. I loved the quiet atmosphere and the focus on local and organic ingredients, but local and organic are only as good as the cook. The service was slooooooow and the place was empty. It took me a good 20 minutes to get a sandwich to go. I was severely disappointed :-(
(2)Sara M.
I came here because I'd bought a Groupon (actually I'd bought two) a while back. I pass it all the time and always mean to stop in. I'm actually really glad that I, on a whim, bought two Groupons instead of just one. I had a smoked chicken panini, which was delicious. My smoothie , consisting of orange juice, pineapple, and banana, was also great. The pineapple flavor got a little lost, though. I didn't try my SO's reuben, not being a fan of Swiss cheese or sauerkraut, but he said it was good. His pomegranate juice and cherry smoothie was also great, sweet and tart. The sandwiches were filling, which made us glad we didn't order chips to go with them. The staff was also very pleasant. We had a nice conversation about hockey with the guy behind the counter. Service was pretty slow, but I think the food was definitely worth the wait.
(4)Bridget M.
This is one of my favorite places to go when I want a relaxing and healthy lunch. The cafe is quaint and quiet. Their smoothies are made of all real fruit and are delicious. But i really go for the food. I love their tuna melt paninis. On the downside it does take a long time to get your food /drinks but I just call in my order and it's ready when I get there.
(4)Zlatko U.
This was a very enjoyable experience. I went here with my friends after a fantastical BMX ride through downtown Decatur. Once we got in, the owner promptly greeted us and told us of what's new on the menu. He then proceeded to ask what we would like and then described what he could to to attain that type of smoothie for us. The smoothie process was not that long and the end result was spectacular. I really like how mine tasted. It did not feel heavy and over sugared but, rather, quite smooth and flavorful. If this place wasn't so far away from me, I would drop down more often.
(5)Chris D.
The juices are very fresh!!! They were at the food truck today at atlantafoodtruckpark.com and the service was fast and friendly! The juices are most amazing. I plan next to go by the location in Decatur soon!
(5)Michael B.
Stopped by here because it was hot and wanted to use the expiring scoutmob coupon. Atrocious customer service. They refused to give their special smoothie for the scoutmob coupon. Doesn't say that anywhere in the deal. Nice job saving 70 cents Nectar (that was the difference between regular and special.) Unreal. Will never come here again and neither should you. The one star is deserving because my wife liked the "chocolate fetish" ice cream. My smoothie was just ok.
(1)Saira K.
I've had their food catered at lunch-events. The veggie panino - with roasted veggies, mozzarella cheese, and pesto - is great! I haven't eaten there, but I'd love to try the cheese and truffle oil panino.
(3)Alex B.
The hearts of palm panini is the bomb.com ! Seriously - if you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I've never had it with their house-made Russian sauce, as I always substitute it for mustard... Either way, I'm sure you cannot go wrong. Must try!
(5)Lola M.
Loved, loved, loved my first experience at Nectar! The service was friendly and responsive. I felt as though I made new friends as I waited for my egg/tomato/pesto sandwich and super smoothie. The staff actually asked my name, remembered it, used it and talked to me like a human being. I've been in Atlanta 9 months and I've yet to have that happen in more than a half dozen places. The smoothie rocked -- it had coconut milk and guarana; I forget the name! -- and the sandwich gave me an idea for my own breakfast grilling at home. I left and immediately said to myself, "Self, this is our new hangout."
(4)David Z.
Nectar is on the low side of 4, but I couldn't quite give it a 3. Their smoothies are fresh and tasty (they even have a sheet showing the difference between their ingredients and a smoothie chain's), but the service, as someone else noted, is quite slow. Smoothies should come together really fast...all you have to do is throw a bunch of stuff in a blender and press a button. I have not tried their sandwiches, but I have seen them on plates and they look quite good.
(4)Rachel S.
Delicious, fresh food! I came here for lunch and got a smoothie and chicken pesto panini, and both were amazing!
(5)gwen f.
I stop by Nectar on my way to volunteer and always find a smiling face at the counter. I usually pick up a Nutella smoothie which is to-die-for! It's seriously a motivating factor at times to drive across town since sadly, I don't live near either location. Today, I finally branched out and got a panini/side salad lunch combo in addition to my usual. My grilled cheese with truffle oil was excellent although I wish I had time to eat-in verses getting it to-go. The side salad was pretty good with the added bonus of pepitas sprinkled on top. Their prices are bit high, but honestly, there is a price for good food. They use fair-trade coffees and teas and use organic ingredients when possible. I usually don't have to wait long, but I'm never really in a rush when I pop in.
(4)Steve J.
I was in the Atlanta area on business, and I usually juice at home on a daily basis. I stopped by around 9:00 am and ordered the "Sun's Salutation"(beets, carrot, apple, ginger) as well as an egg sandwich w/ roasted red peppers & chipotle. The juice was delicious and left craving more, the sandwich was also quite tasty...the custOmer service was excellent and very personable(which I appreciate). All in all, I'll be back this afternoon as well as anytime I'm visiting ATL.
(5)Sheri M.
Nectar has amazing food! They use natural and organic ingredients. Everything is made fresh! I always call ahead and get my order to go. Love the food!
(5)Emily H.
Meh. Had a groupon type thing so came in yesterday for lunch. First, off, they wouldn't let me use the groupon on any of the lunch specials -- boo! Especially since the lunch specials were the most reasonably priced items. In all, we spent over $30 for lunch for two people. 16 oz smoothie for $5.99 is way over-priced. It wasn't even that good. I like the healthy concept of this place, but they need to improve the quality to justify the prices.
(2)Lynn M.
Love this place. They have mate! And the scoutmob flu shot is great.
(5)Peter T.
I started going to nectar after someone in my Yoga class mentioned they did juices. On my first visit after ordering they told me they didn't take American Express AMEX I told them well that's how I pay for things and they could charge me the additional processing fee. I also told them I use to go to DETOX almost 3 times a week but they had recently moved to Buckhead and I would be a regular customer. They ended up taking AMEX and I was going a few times per week when I was in town. Went back today BTW no sign saying they don't take AMEX. I ordered 2 Juices a sandwich and the soup to go...pulled out my AMEX and the person said we don't take AMEX I told him they do accept it from me. He said he is the owner I said well if your wife is the owner she along with the rest of the staff take the card. He then said I should have told him that which I just did. I think if you aren't going to take AMEX or Visa or other cards that are more popular than cash these days you ought to post it on the menu and register or even the front door. I provide merchant processing and the amount they saved not taking AMEX which they are approved to accept on a $25.00 plus lunch saved them how much??? A disgruntled customer who ate somewhere else that took AMEX and they lost the sale which surely would have set off the cost of the processing. The owner did say oh you should have told me as if then he would have taken it. This was weird because I did tell him. I went back to Nectar because I did enjoy it in the past but to not accept payment when you can and turning a 2 to 3 time a week customer away is disturbing. I would go back if they ever change their policy about accepting money.
(1)Sandra G.
I went here for lunch with a friend and had a very "blah" experience. I was really hoping that it was going to be great given how close this place is to where I live. The veggie panini and chicken salad were both stated as having "organic mixed greens" on the menu but both items pretty much just had chopped romaine lettuce. :( There also seemed to be no discernible difference between the "artisan" and "multigrain bread." Lastly the #2 mega-smoothie was supposed to contain both pineapple and coconut but really just tasted like bananas and soymilk. I'm SO glad that I had a coupon for this place. If I really would have had to shell out $30 for lunch for 2, I would have been pretty mad! VERY DISAPPOINTING!
(2)Nick K.
I love this place and highly recommend. The only negative is the juice. Because there are not many juice customers they cannot keep things like kale or spinach in stock. If only the word can get out to the healthy crowd to juice their veggies.
(5)stephanie d.
Service was a bit slow. Smoothie was DELICIOUS! Panini was awesome!! Would go back in a heartbeat!
(4)Fee F.
the only reason for 3 stars is because of how long it takes to be served and also the veggie juice i had was watered down.. the chipotle panini though?!?! omg its great!!! good healthy option for a sandwich...
(3)Dana P.
Healthy, high-quality ingredients (which I suppose accounts for the high price). Cool spot to chill and have lunch. They have gluten-free bread. YAY! Good iced yerba mate. I need to go back to try their juices and smoothies. But it's cool place for a light, refreshing lunch.
(3)Kelly H.
Pricey sandwiches that are nothing special. The smoothies were watery and tasteless. Cute space, and nice concept but poorly executed.
(2)Elise E.
I was initially quite excited for Nectar to open after Smoothie King closed--what could be better than a quick, healthy smoothie place? Well folks, Nectar is NOT quick. I have been there twice, hoping it would redeem itself the second time. While the smoothies are delicious, the service is painfully slow. I waited half an hour for one smoothie. I will not waste my time going there again.
(3)Stacy A.
I tried Nectar for lunch and it was fantastic. The sandwiches and soups are fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the smoothies.
(5)Tamika F.
Limited seating but the sandwiches are tasty and the cold pressed juice are delicious. The staff were cool definitely check it out. ..
(5)Div S.
Ack!!! It's 12:30pm and they are out of greens? The Orange County, California store would be so disappointed. Juice was just fine. Reasonable prices. However, I also got a panini, to go, and stood in an empty seating area for 25 minutes waiting for a sandwich.
(2)Sean Y.
We visited this place today. I ordered soy milk based peach, mango and blueberry protein shake. It had as much taste as a glass of water would have. My wife ordered banana shake and she said it was bland too. We also tried a Reuben panini which was good thus the second star. We would love to see this neighborhood place improve. We will visit again.
(2)Annie C.
I'm such a nerd about eating healthy and organic (I really should do it more often), so when I saw the menu for Nectar online I couldn't wait to check it out - they don't use filler ingredients like other smoothie places. In addition to juices and smoothies, they also serve various teas and coffee beverages, and food items such as soups, salads, paninis, as well as assorted breakfast foods. We had eaten elsewhere right before so we decided to have a healthy dessert at Nectar. We each got a smoothie ($5.99 each plus tax - no pricier than other Atlanta smoothie/juice joints). To echo the previous reviews, the service here is slow - incredibly slow, ridiculously slow considering it's mainly a juicery and especially in comparison to their competition. When we first came in there were only three customers - none of which had yet received their orders. About twenty minutes later they got their drinks, and about 10 minutes after that we finally got ours, at this point they were still about 7-8 orders in the hole. Both smoothies were pretty good - I had the Acerola Cherry and I also tried the Cacao - both were sweet with a hint of tartness. Just know that you're going to be in for a bit of a wait.
(3)Jake E.
Review is only for the food truck. Friendly? Yes. Quick? Yes. Ridiculously good chipotle chicken panini? Oh my word, yes! Panini just as good 24 hours later? Yes. Not same one, got a second. Live these hot, melts, spicy, flavorful things.
(5)Kimberly S.
Facility free -I rode Marta to visit a friend in Nectar's neighborhood and I was super early so I thought I would explore the area a little. I wanted a coffee and Nectar looked cute from the outside. It was cute inside as well however the staff was kind of rude , the coffee took over 10 minutes and was pricey and unreal - a place that specializes in beverages does not have a bathroom.
(2)Missy R.
Love this place! They have a great selection with even offering local and organic foods. They provide information about their juices and health benefits. The juices are absolutely amazing! Try the detox shot!
(5)Teah G.
Absolutely LOVE this place!! I visited the Decatur location for the first time last week, and I was overwhelmingly pleased with the detox juice, flu shot, and breakfast panini that I ordered. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was good--REALLY good. I went back the next day and ordered the exact same thing. I will definitely add this spot to my rotation of restaurants that I frequent.
(5)Tory S.
Has one price on a chalk board then a different one on a menu. When I put in register price was different than either board or menu! The staff did nothing to remedy the situation except smile and say oops. I won't come back. That's not good customer service.
(1)Priti J.
What can i say about this place. I think this is the only place to find fresh, organic green juices/smoothies in decatur. I ordered kale, apple, celery, cucumber juice and also flu shot - 5 stars My husband got kale, ginger, cucumber, celery juice: 5 stars Service is great! I would definitely go back again.
(5)Angie H.
Stopped by their food truck at the Green Market in Piedmont Park. Service was friendly and Smoothie #1 was amazing! Can't wait to do a juice cleanse from them!
(5)Joy B.
Delicious. They were veryslow during lunch time but I would go back for the quality of the product. It has great potential.
(4)Natalie P.
Atmosphere for lunch: A little awkwardly quiet.... More like a bar/grab and go kind of place. Order at the register and if you're dining in they have about roughly 10 tables or so. Definitely not in the fanciest shopping center, but it is worth the visit. **menus are to the left of the restaurant Service: Staff was eh. Not too much to judge when they just ring you up and make your drinks. Food and Drinks: The Chicken Salad and Chicken Pesto Panini are both A-MAZING hands down! I think they make their own bread, and it even has sunflower seeds in it! The food makes up for everything else. Green of the Day has celery, celery, more celery, apples, and a handful of spinach. It would've been better if the juice came with some ICE. I would definitely be back, because the food was THAT good! The first time I tried it was when the Nectar food truck came to my school, and I'm so glad it did. The quality and taste was exactly the same when I went to the actual restaurant. Great job Nectar!
(4)Emmie L.
I am a huge fan of the health benefits of herbal teas, and I delight in restaurants and shops that utilize teas for that reasons. Nectar is definitely a great place to find good quality tea and fruit beverages that are made for that purpose. The inside is pretty nice, it has an orange theme and there is a good amount of seating. The service wasn't friendly though. It just felt sort of cold, and it took a long time to have our tea come out. We ordered Yerba mate tea for the health benefits and it took a good 10+ minutes. I don't know how long it takes to make an iced tea and that might explain it but it had me questioning why it took so long. The tea though was delicious! Reminded me of a milk-less Thai iced tea.... So good! And I did feel really great afterward. So overall, it was a good experience, but I probably won't be stopping by here again. It just wasn't all that. There are cheaper options around here.
(3)Kristin B.
Man, I hate writing bad reviews. But there's no way around it in this case. The smoothie I had from the Nectar food truck this morning was just bad! The offending specimen in question was advertised as one of three smoothie options at the food truck Nectar had at the Piedmont Park Green Market. "Smoothie Number One" was described as having such delicious ingredients like pomegranate juice and organic banana. I paid my $5, was given a number (even though I was the only customer there), and waited a few minutes before my "smoothie" was ready. I put "smoothie" in quotes because it simply was not. I'm not sure if they don't have a power supply when they operate the food truck, because that's the only reason I can think of why this "smoothie" was not blended. Yep, it was just fruit puree poured over a LOT of ice. It was so odd! Nothing on their food truck menu or the one online lets you know about their strange preparation style. Honestly, it would have been a fantastic beverage if it had been blended. The juice/puree alone was just way too sweet. Blended with the ice, it would have been a filling treat with excellent flavor. As it was, it was about four ounces of pureed fruit that was way too sweet. I'll skip this food truck in the future when deciding on dining options in the Green Market.

This place has the potential to be great, but they fall short every time. The staff is nice enough, but they've been out of important ingredients both times I've been there. The last time it was wheatgrass, and another time it was blueberries. With the limited menu they have, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to keep juice bar basics in stock. SUMMARY: Expect to compromise on what you get vs what you may want.

I've been here twice now and had a great experience both times. I got the mega coconut smoothie the first time and made my own juice the second time. They guy working behind the counter was really helpful when I was making my own juice. It was quiet both times I've been in and only had to wait a few minutes for him to prepare my order. I can see stopping in here on my way to Decatur turning into a habit. If I had one suggestion, it would be to offer the premade smoothies & juices in a larger size. Currently they don't come larger than 16oz and I definitely would've ordered a 24oz if it had been an option. The only way to get the larger size is to make your own.

I absolutely love this place and come 1-2 times a week. My favorites change, but I tend to get the tuna panini lunch special with the salad and the cacao smoothie. Yum. Everything is fresh, organic, etc and gluten free is offered. That kind of place. They also serve delicious breakfast sandwiches all day along with coffee and tea. Their raw juices are really good as well but I just love the smoothies too much not to get them. If you like fresh/organic type food then this is your place. They have a new food truck location at Piedmont Park next to the pool.

It all started with a typical run in Piedmont Park. My roommate and I were done and decided to take a walk through the mini outdoor market that was going on. I stumble upon the Nectar food truck and was convinced to get a homemade protein peanut butter popsicle. Skeptical at first, I ended up really liking the popsicle. I kind of thought it would be gritty but it was very smooth and didn't just taste like I was whoofing down lots of peanut butter. I was so in love with the popsicle, one cold sunday morning I sought out the actual restaurant. Just a cute small place in Decatur, I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel panini and a nutella milkshake. I wasn't going for any sort of health in my breakfast choices, I just pick items that seemed appetizing at once glance of the menu. This place has many healthy, veggie options and even have wheat grass shots, which I was wary to try at the time. It's a little far from me, maybe I'll search for their food truck again soon! :D
(4)Morgan K.
I just got the Ice Yerba Matte Tea through using my Scoutmob app. I'm glad I did! It's healthy, sweet and refreshing! Perfect for a hot day. The cafe was very quiet. There were only two other people inside and they both left by time I got my drink. I liked the decor; portraits lining orange and brown walls. I would like to come back and try a smoothie here because they have a wide variety of healthy options.
(3)Darren H.
I followed the advice of a few other yelpers here & got the coconut smoothie, man it was good to the last drop & my girl was fighting me to have some as well. (you said that you didn't want anything, hmm?). Cute little place next time i'll come by when I haven't had the BBQ next door.
(3)Dillon H.
Garb's food truck is the best. Miss the dude, gotta be at the Emory truck more often. He cooks a meaaaaan sandwich, and he's great with customer service. Dude loves printers
(5)Emily W.
Smoothies, juices and "shots" are excellent and made upon ordering. I just went for lunch with a friend and it was very good. I got the tuna panini with truffle oil and it was yummy. I also like that they use minimal ingredients that are organic, fresh and local. Definitely a place worth checking out!
(4)Lou G.
It's a juice place. What comes to mind? Healthy juices. Got it. Organic shit. Got it. Slightly higher prices. Got it. Would I go back? Absolutely! Go for juices and smoothies, real fruit, no sugar. Coffee was not my favorite, and while it was politically correct, it was palatably (made up word) incorrect. The owner is super friendly. Me likey.
(4)William K.
There is a really good smoothie with orange juice,mango and banana. Really good and right next to the pool!
(5)Laura W.
I'm doing a juice cleanse at the moment, and this place was perfect. The prices are also decent considering what you are getting (think the same as whole paycheck) and actually made on the spot for you, as well. I got two juices, one was the Daily Green and the other was the Purifier, both were good (obviously, those who don't like juice should use caution). There wqas also a good selection of green juices. While I was there, there was a table of guests eating some quite delicious looking sandwiches, as well. Looking forward to the next juice!
(3)Sol A.
I have been here twice so far and really liked it. I have only tried their raw juices (mainly because I was looking for something fresh) and so far enjoyed green of the day and sun salutation. Actually, I have really got into this juicing thing and I just bought my own juicer! So, lets see how that goes. But, that doesn't mean I;m not coming back, I really want to try their smoothies, they sound soo tasty!
(4)Clare A.
These people are soooo sweet, I almost don't want to say anything. But Nectar, please step up the game just a little bit, so I can love you like I want to! They've almost got it right... health, juices, smoothees, proper ingredients. But coming into a place like this, you think you'll get everything healthy you desire. They don't have honey to put in the tea.,.. only sugar. They don't have agave nectar or almond milk to put in the coffee.. only sugar and cream. C'mon guys, the name of the game is Nectar... local raw honey for my green tea? How obvious is that need? Also, if I ask for tomoatoes and mayonnaise on my breakfast sandwich, the thing takes 15 minutes and I'm the only person in the shop... pleeease put tomatoes and mayonnaise on my breakfast sandwich, especially when you charged me a dollar for a slice of tomato. Luckily, the manager caught the mayonnaise on my way out and they gave me some to go. Wish I had checked to make sure the tomato was on that super-melty, cheesy BEC. Again, please fix these things, so I can love you and stop in for a healthy breakfast! Thanks :-)
(3)Laura P.
Have been twice and both times my smoothies were great (recommend smoothie #3) and both sandwiches were fantastic. Had the new heart of palm sandwich today and ate everything including the crust! House made Russian sauce also is fantastic.
(5)Autumn S.
My family and I waited 20 minutes for 2 smoothies. Way too long. Then, they got my smoothie order wrong. Was so disappointed I drank it anyway. I should have gotten a lassi from next door, probably would have been quicker.
(2)Jayda T.
Tasty, but overpriced. Smoothies are the highlight. None of them are sweetened too much which is nice. You never know which cafés really use all organic stuff in their sandwiches... I asked the cook one time if the lettuce and tomato on my turkey pesto panini was organic too, and he kindly said "I don't know..." Lol ok...
(3)DJ V.
Enjoyed the coffee. Top Quality!
(4)Gahee L.
After 2 years of ordering in from greasy, Asian restaurants, I decided to try Nectar for the first time today. I was delighted to find that the service was very courteous and friendly and that the food was very good. I ordered a panini that had mozzarella, chicken, greens and tomatoes and while a bit greasy, it tasted pretty good. The side greens and the small soup (2 pieces of toast came with it!) that I ordered along with it were also quite satisfactory. I plan to try their smoothies/drinks the next time I order.
(5)Heather N.
Sssstillll ssssooo ssllooowww... If you need a lesson in patience, this is the perfect spot for you! The smoothies and juices are great, so I dialed myself down to snail time and it was just fine. Cheers~
(3)Katharine S.
I live extremely close to Nectar, but it took me a year--and the impetus of a gifted voucher--to finally try them out. One of the reasons why I wasn't more excited was the price: $4 for a (mere) 16 oz. smoothie and $7-9 for a salad or a sandwich is a little too expensive for cafe food, in my opinion. But with my voucher I could order with a clear financial conscience: I ordered a turkey reuben sandwich ($6.50, no side) and a 24 oz fruit smoothie ($5.29) to eat in and a smoked turkey and bacon panino to take home for later ($7, no side). DAMN was the reuben delicious! Their "house-made Russian Sauce" and the sauerkraut had just the right amount of tangy kick to it, and the sweet smoothie was the perfect pairing. Nectar's promotional material stresses that they use "as much local and organic ingredients as possible": perhaps that was what made my meal so over-the-top tasty. But I can only give them three stars: the space is a little crowded, and I ended up sitting near two mothers on a lunch date who were possibly both out of practice speaking with non-children and were thus slightly annoying to overhear and Nectar was piping in some psychedelic house music at just a twitch too high of volume. Such a shame, because they really have made the place look calm and aesthetically pleasing inside, and I would have liked to stay and read for a bit longer. And I hate to sound like snob, but the shopping plaza in which this is located is kind of unappealing. It's not trashy or sketch or anything, but it doesn't have the external ambiance that ought to go along with higher price tags on the stuffs sold inside. Were I to want to get bistro food in the North Decatur/Emory area, I'd be more likely to go to Panera in Emory Village next time: the chain-ness of Panera would be canceled out by the more appealing setting, the more expansive space, and the option of having enough money left over to get dessert.
(3)David R.
I WANTED to love this place, but I just couldn't. I got the spicy chipotle chicken sandwich and my chicken was overcooked and chewy. I loved the quiet atmosphere and the focus on local and organic ingredients, but local and organic are only as good as the cook. The service was slooooooow and the place was empty. It took me a good 20 minutes to get a sandwich to go. I was severely disappointed :-(
(2)Nick K.
I love this place and highly recommend. The only negative is the juice. Because there are not many juice customers they cannot keep things like kale or spinach in stock. If only the word can get out to the healthy crowd to juice their veggies.
(5)stephanie d.
Service was a bit slow. Smoothie was DELICIOUS! Panini was awesome!! Would go back in a heartbeat!
(4)Michael B.
Stopped by here because it was hot and wanted to use the expiring scoutmob coupon. Atrocious customer service. They refused to give their special smoothie for the scoutmob coupon. Doesn't say that anywhere in the deal. Nice job saving 70 cents Nectar (that was the difference between regular and special.) Unreal. Will never come here again and neither should you. The one star is deserving because my wife liked the "chocolate fetish" ice cream. My smoothie was just ok.
(1)Saira K.
I've had their food catered at lunch-events. The veggie panino - with roasted veggies, mozzarella cheese, and pesto - is great! I haven't eaten there, but I'd love to try the cheese and truffle oil panino.
(3)Alex B.
The hearts of palm panini is the bomb.com ! Seriously - if you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I've never had it with their house-made Russian sauce, as I always substitute it for mustard... Either way, I'm sure you cannot go wrong. Must try!
(5)Veda R.
I'll start this review by saying that the staff gets a full 5 stars from me for incredibly helpful and friendly service. The food was good...but was just good. I think Nectar's specialty may be in their smoothies and teas, and not food. My yerba mate iced tea was the best I've ever had. I picked Nectar expecting wholesome food and greens. I shared my order with my coworker. My lunch consisted of half a walnut chicken salad panini, described as "chicken Salad made with hormone free chicken breast, walnuts, cranberries served with organic greens and organic tomatoes" and half a smoked chicken panini, described as "hormone free chicken, house made pesto, mozzarella cheese, organic tomato, organic mixed greens." Flavor was there, ingredients were fresh, yep...no concerns there. My beef with Nectar is that their descriptions are exaggerated. When one says their sandwich comes with organic mixed greens, I don't expect ONLY a mixture of romaine and iceberg lettuce. I expect field greens, arugula, maybe a hint of romaine, radicchio...stuff like that. My lunch special came with a side salad. The croutons were great, but again, my salad consisted of "organic mixed greens" as we said above. I could have done better with Kroger, sorry. Secondly, anybody who is a proponent of the "green/slow food/organic/local" movement will know that the label of "hormone free" chicken is completely misleading and equivalent of having a label of "fat free" on a tomato. USDA regulations prohibit the use of hormones and steroids on poultry. So Nectar, I ask you -- is your hormone free chicken antibiotic free? Because that's what counts. These kinds of labels and advertising are very commonplace ("all natural, hormone free, organic") but for an establishment that touts itself as serving "food with love and without compromising the integrity of our planet," I expect more than misleading jargon.
(3)Skape Z.
Juices are good and so are the smoothies but it's expensive, the service is slow, and the place needs ventilation - it always smells like burnt paninnis up in there. I'd say 2 and a half stars realistically.
(3)Barbara S.
This place is so wonderful and the staff are so friendly and helpful! The food is always so fresh and flavorful. The salads are crisp with just the right amount of dressing! It's so great that the owners are interested in having a good, healthy lunch selection while keeping the prices reasonable. The Coconut Soy smoothie is off the chain tasty and delicious! Ditto for the Nutella smoothie. They are now offering coffee and espresso drinks as well so I look forward to enjoying a nice latte on my next visit!
(4)Sheri M.
Nectar has amazing food! They use natural and organic ingredients. Everything is made fresh! I always call ahead and get my order to go. Love the food!
(5)Emily H.
Meh. Had a groupon type thing so came in yesterday for lunch. First, off, they wouldn't let me use the groupon on any of the lunch specials -- boo! Especially since the lunch specials were the most reasonably priced items. In all, we spent over $30 for lunch for two people. 16 oz smoothie for $5.99 is way over-priced. It wasn't even that good. I like the healthy concept of this place, but they need to improve the quality to justify the prices.
(2)Lynn M.
Love this place. They have mate! And the scoutmob flu shot is great.
(5)Peter T.
I started going to nectar after someone in my Yoga class mentioned they did juices. On my first visit after ordering they told me they didn't take American Express AMEX I told them well that's how I pay for things and they could charge me the additional processing fee. I also told them I use to go to DETOX almost 3 times a week but they had recently moved to Buckhead and I would be a regular customer. They ended up taking AMEX and I was going a few times per week when I was in town. Went back today BTW no sign saying they don't take AMEX. I ordered 2 Juices a sandwich and the soup to go...pulled out my AMEX and the person said we don't take AMEX I told him they do accept it from me. He said he is the owner I said well if your wife is the owner she along with the rest of the staff take the card. He then said I should have told him that which I just did. I think if you aren't going to take AMEX or Visa or other cards that are more popular than cash these days you ought to post it on the menu and register or even the front door. I provide merchant processing and the amount they saved not taking AMEX which they are approved to accept on a $25.00 plus lunch saved them how much??? A disgruntled customer who ate somewhere else that took AMEX and they lost the sale which surely would have set off the cost of the processing. The owner did say oh you should have told me as if then he would have taken it. This was weird because I did tell him. I went back to Nectar because I did enjoy it in the past but to not accept payment when you can and turning a 2 to 3 time a week customer away is disturbing. I would go back if they ever change their policy about accepting money.
(1)Sandra G.
I went here for lunch with a friend and had a very "blah" experience. I was really hoping that it was going to be great given how close this place is to where I live. The veggie panini and chicken salad were both stated as having "organic mixed greens" on the menu but both items pretty much just had chopped romaine lettuce. :( There also seemed to be no discernible difference between the "artisan" and "multigrain bread." Lastly the #2 mega-smoothie was supposed to contain both pineapple and coconut but really just tasted like bananas and soymilk. I'm SO glad that I had a coupon for this place. If I really would have had to shell out $30 for lunch for 2, I would have been pretty mad! VERY DISAPPOINTING!
(2)Sandy A.
Hands down a wonderful organic, juice, coffee tea, and breakfast/pannini spot in Decatur. So fresh and so clean clean. I never feel disgustingly full, always nourished back to health. I plan on waking up early to get one of many juice combos to get me charged for the day. Ardens Gardens.....pshhhhh. They have nothing on Nectar!

Wish this place was better. If you have a panini press and a blender you have this restaurant in your kitchen
(2)Shazia T.
I had a Groupon to use and was glad to have it! I shared it with my sister. Here is what we had: - veggie panino - good, tasted really fresh - truffle panino - really really good and cheesy! the truffle oil was great! - coconut/pineapple/banana smoothie - gross, but i'm biased (i don't like bananas in my food) - custom smoothie of blueberries, peach, and mango with pomegranate juice - good, a lil tart (should have put honey in it) the owners are really nice and so is the staff.
(4)Sara M.
I came here because I'd bought a Groupon (actually I'd bought two) a while back. I pass it all the time and always mean to stop in. I'm actually really glad that I, on a whim, bought two Groupons instead of just one. I had a smoked chicken panini, which was delicious. My smoothie , consisting of orange juice, pineapple, and banana, was also great. The pineapple flavor got a little lost, though. I didn't try my SO's reuben, not being a fan of Swiss cheese or sauerkraut, but he said it was good. His pomegranate juice and cherry smoothie was also great, sweet and tart. The sandwiches were filling, which made us glad we didn't order chips to go with them. The staff was also very pleasant. We had a nice conversation about hockey with the guy behind the counter. Service was pretty slow, but I think the food was definitely worth the wait.
(4)Bridget M.
This is one of my favorite places to go when I want a relaxing and healthy lunch. The cafe is quaint and quiet. Their smoothies are made of all real fruit and are delicious. But i really go for the food. I love their tuna melt paninis. On the downside it does take a long time to get your food /drinks but I just call in my order and it's ready when I get there.
(4)Zlatko U.
This was a very enjoyable experience. I went here with my friends after a fantastical BMX ride through downtown Decatur. Once we got in, the owner promptly greeted us and told us of what's new on the menu. He then proceeded to ask what we would like and then described what he could to to attain that type of smoothie for us. The smoothie process was not that long and the end result was spectacular. I really like how mine tasted. It did not feel heavy and over sugared but, rather, quite smooth and flavorful. If this place wasn't so far away from me, I would drop down more often.
(5)Chris D.
The juices are very fresh!!! They were at the food truck today at atlantafoodtruckpark.com and the service was fast and friendly! The juices are most amazing. I plan next to go by the location in Decatur soon!
(5)Lola M.
Loved, loved, loved my first experience at Nectar! The service was friendly and responsive. I felt as though I made new friends as I waited for my egg/tomato/pesto sandwich and super smoothie. The staff actually asked my name, remembered it, used it and talked to me like a human being. I've been in Atlanta 9 months and I've yet to have that happen in more than a half dozen places. The smoothie rocked -- it had coconut milk and guarana; I forget the name! -- and the sandwich gave me an idea for my own breakfast grilling at home. I left and immediately said to myself, "Self, this is our new hangout."
(4)David Z.
Nectar is on the low side of 4, but I couldn't quite give it a 3. Their smoothies are fresh and tasty (they even have a sheet showing the difference between their ingredients and a smoothie chain's), but the service, as someone else noted, is quite slow. Smoothies should come together really fast...all you have to do is throw a bunch of stuff in a blender and press a button. I have not tried their sandwiches, but I have seen them on plates and they look quite good.
(4)Rachel S.
Delicious, fresh food! I came here for lunch and got a smoothie and chicken pesto panini, and both were amazing!
(5)gwen f.
I stop by Nectar on my way to volunteer and always find a smiling face at the counter. I usually pick up a Nutella smoothie which is to-die-for! It's seriously a motivating factor at times to drive across town since sadly, I don't live near either location. Today, I finally branched out and got a panini/side salad lunch combo in addition to my usual. My grilled cheese with truffle oil was excellent although I wish I had time to eat-in verses getting it to-go. The side salad was pretty good with the added bonus of pepitas sprinkled on top. Their prices are bit high, but honestly, there is a price for good food. They use fair-trade coffees and teas and use organic ingredients when possible. I usually don't have to wait long, but I'm never really in a rush when I pop in.
(4)Steve J.
I was in the Atlanta area on business, and I usually juice at home on a daily basis. I stopped by around 9:00 am and ordered the "Sun's Salutation"(beets, carrot, apple, ginger) as well as an egg sandwich w/ roasted red peppers & chipotle. The juice was delicious and left craving more, the sandwich was also quite tasty...the custOmer service was excellent and very personable(which I appreciate). All in all, I'll be back this afternoon as well as anytime I'm visiting ATL.
(5)Dana P.
Healthy, high-quality ingredients (which I suppose accounts for the high price). Cool spot to chill and have lunch. They have gluten-free bread. YAY! Good iced yerba mate. I need to go back to try their juices and smoothies. But it's cool place for a light, refreshing lunch.
(3)Kelly H.
Pricey sandwiches that are nothing special. The smoothies were watery and tasteless. Cute space, and nice concept but poorly executed.
(2)Elise E.
I was initially quite excited for Nectar to open after Smoothie King closed--what could be better than a quick, healthy smoothie place? Well folks, Nectar is NOT quick. I have been there twice, hoping it would redeem itself the second time. While the smoothies are delicious, the service is painfully slow. I waited half an hour for one smoothie. I will not waste my time going there again.
(3)Stacy A.
I tried Nectar for lunch and it was fantastic. The sandwiches and soups are fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the smoothies.
(5)Fee F.
the only reason for 3 stars is because of how long it takes to be served and also the veggie juice i had was watered down.. the chipotle panini though?!?! omg its great!!! good healthy option for a sandwich...
(3)Ryan L.
Store review: 30 min wait for a sandwich and salad, staff seemed bored and didn't care. Food is overpriced relative to similar places. Save your time and money, avoid the store. Food truck review: service much better than store, but still overpriced.

The staff actually asked my name, remembered it, used it and talked to me like a human being. I've been in Atlanta 9 months and I've yet to have that happen in more than a half dozen places. The smoothie rocked -- it had coconut milk and guarana; I forget the name! -- and the sandwich gave me an idea for my own breakfast grilling at home. I left and immediately said to myself, "Self, this is our new hangout."

I was initially quite excited for Nectar to open after Smoothie King closed--what could be better than a quick, healthy smoothie place? Well folks, Nectar is NOT quick. I have been there twice, hoping it would redeem itself the second time. While the smoothies are delicious, the service is painfully slow. I waited half an hour for one smoothie. I will not waste my time going there again.

I tried Nectar for lunch and it was fantastic. The sandwiches and soups are fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the smoothies.

I love this place and highly recommend. The only negative is the juice. Because there are not many juice customers they cannot keep things like kale or spinach in stock. If only the word can get out to the healthy crowd to juice their veggies.

Service was a bit slow. Smoothie was DELICIOUS! Panini was awesome!! Would go back in a heartbeat!

the only reason for 3 stars is because of how long it takes to be served and also the veggie juice i had was watered down.. the chipotle panini though?!?! omg its great!!! good healthy option for a sandwich...

Healthy, high-quality ingredients (which I suppose accounts for the high price). Cool spot to chill and have lunch. They have gluten-free bread. YAY! Good iced yerba mate. I need to go back to try their juices and smoothies. But it's cool place for a light, refreshing lunch.

Love this place. They have mate! And the scoutmob flu shot is great.

Pricey sandwiches that are nothing special. The smoothies were watery and tasteless. Cute space, and nice concept but poorly executed.
