Seeking a protein boost, I needed to treat my body after a vigorous basketball tournament. I ordered a «Treat My Body» Guava Sunrise smoothie. Two of my teammates ordered a Hula Skirt and one ordered a Raspberry Dream. Totally worth the 32 ounce for the extra dollar. They were dank as hell. The extra whey boost added more needed supplements and made the smoothie filling. Super healthy vibes, with additional health supplements scattered around the store. I also ordered an MP energy drink out of curiosity and was impressed with its taste and kick. Had a nice conversation with the cheerful employee about the origins of the place which definitely added a cherry on top. Overall, really positive experience with reasonable price. Will be going back after more basketball and would be regulars if we lived in the area.

This may seem juvenile, but: EW. As soon as I saw them put Sugar Syrup in the smoothie I was done; threw that crap away. Have you guys heard of Fructose? It’s that naturally occurring sugar in fruit — so why are you adding more? Anyway, I’m really glad I wasted $ 10 finding out that this place sucks and I should continue to make my fresh fruit only smoothies from home. Also not impressed with the GNC protein supplements I saw being used and on their shelves. All of the items are packed with unnecessary and sometimes harmful additives(go read about unregulated metals in protein supplements). What a waste, especially if you’re in a rush and want something healthy.

Delicious smoothies! This is my favorite smoothie shop. There’s a wall of options to choose from, and you can add extra supplements/vitamins to any drink. They also have a complete nutrition breakdown for each smoothie.

I love this place and I usually go every day. One small fix is that when they hire new employees they can train them a little better to be more friendly and make the smoothies properly. But the employees who have been there for a while are great, and very friendly.

Nice little spot with delicious smoothies. I got a Lean Green and my husband got a Moldy Banana. Friendly service, no-frills atmosphere – just serious about smoothies. What more do you really need? And lord knows I need a smoothie after being at Home Depot, which is usually when I come here(it’s located in the same general strip mall situation). Props for the fun tip jar, which is essentially a poll you answer with money. Gives you something to think about while you wait :)

My favorite spot post workout or lunch. They have a huge variety of smoothies and the staff is always helpful and informative. Then menu can me a little intimidating once you get the breakdown it makes a lot of sense. The ingredients are fresh and I love all the peanut butter options!

This is my go to smoothie place!!! They have an acai smoothie that I absolutely love!!! The staff is so friendly and approachable and their tip jar is so fun! I have tried a few other smoothies including their peanut butter and jelly smoothie and I just can’t get enough of this place!

I love smoothies! But they are just OK here. My work is walking distance from Emerald City Smoothie and I’ve visited more than 10 times… why? Because I love smoothies! But I just haven’t found anything I love here. I’ve tried smoothies across the board from the fruity ones to the chocolate kind! There are a lot of options, yes. But nothing tastes that good. Maybe I’m missing something, but I only come here because it is nearby and convenient. They do have a punch card for frequent customers that I have filled up for a free smoothie twice! Hopefully, I’ll find some favorites soon.

By far one of the best smoothie shops I have ever been into. Great ingredients, good pricing, quick and rarely any wait. The staff is incredibly friendly. I try to to get something new every time and rarely find myself disappointed. Make sure to try their staff created concoctions. My present favorite is the little Cocomo.

Super duper good!!! Everytime I’ve gone I have loved my smoothie!!! This is pretty much my favorite healthy snack place with delicious smoothies and healthy boosts. So far I’ve only tried to chocolate strawberry and matcha but both were awesome!

I’m new to the smoothie world, I must admit… However, the ladies that work here are so nice and didn’t mind me not knowing what I was really ordering. They were very informative and definitely seemed to know what they were talking about. I ordered the moldy banana and it was delicious! I’ll definitely be back!

I had to take off two stars :( Dear owner, your employees have a lot better understanding of customer service than you do! You should change your attitude. If smile is not in your nature you may try to throw a «thank you» once in a while. This place reminds me of my closet– too much to choose from!!! They have great selection, healthy choices for any taste and stuff for kids :)

This place has THEBEST smoothies! After working out at Orange Theory Fitness with my guy, we were feeling beat, and seriously needed fuel. I was scared to drive I was so dizzy. We took a look around. Our options were Chili’s and Emerald City Smoothies. We made the right choice. This place doesn’t have much going on with the décor, aside from some brochures pertaining to fitness, etc. The smoothies aren’t cheap, but they are a good value considering they have the nutrients you need after an intense workout next door. I got the PB&J, it was AMAZING! It tasted just like a PB&J! I was so happy. A small was enough to fill me up. Totally coming back next time we are close by and need a smoothie fix.

Always a great smoothie after a workout. The staff is super nice and the place is always clean. Great variety of smoothies; my favorites includes the zone zinger, re-juvanayor, and the eternal energizer. Delicious mixes!

I just happened to be in the neighborhood and I thought, «I could go for something smooth.» So low and behold here comes the Emerald City. And smooth it was… I would definitely come back again for another round. For me, the weirdest part was the huge wall of HUGE canisters of that protein, build muscle, milkshake, 12-times boost, protein, muscle max, protein stuff. I understand being healthy but the whole wall? It’s a bit much IMHO. I did really like that they have a whole line of health bars and snack item for sale which is really cool. Lots of things to grab and munch on… I have to say that the staff is very nice and welcoming. I was promptly greeted upon arrival and felt very taken care of throughout the course of my transaction. Politeness goes a long way in my book so they get top scores for that. Customer service is a hard biz for some people but they do it well here. As you enter, the entire wall to the right is the menu. There are so many options you might not know where to start. My eye went right to the raspberry option and it was perfection. You can add oodles of other goodies to your smoothie for an additional charge. I think the multiple options are great and adds appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Very cool place — and not just because the drinks are cool. Not only do you get the sweet goodness of a smoothie but you are also being healthy. At least that’s what I’ll tell myself when I crave something smooth from the Emerald City.

Solid smoothie joint in Denver. They probably have about 50 smoothies you can choose from ranging from super light fruit ones to more indulgent protein varieties. The place also has different types of protein and meal replacement bars if you need a quick pick-me-up. Price was right and smoothies were really good! Definitely a perfect stop for a liquid meal.

Stopped by here in need of a boost after an exhausting day and wasn’t disappointed! We chose two of the employee picks, and they were both exactly what we were looking for.

Emerald City — for the smoothie lover who needs to know what’s under the hood. Good stuff. The comprehensive menu listing shows calories and grams of protein in addition to the contents of the smoothie. I really enjoyed the Zip Zip and the Berry Berry(I’m not sure why I picked the two that have the double names, but it just worked out that way). Service was easy to deal with and quick to produce the product. The store is clean and well organized. You can buy nutritional supplements and they also have a cooler full of waters and other drinks. I will most definitely return. This shopping area can be difficult to navigate for parking, but that is not entirely uncommon for this part of Colorado Boulevard.

We had a Chinook coupon to use here and went for it. We probably won’t return without the coupon deal since the ingredients weren’t fresh and there was no other milk option than nonfat milk.
