Blenders in the Grass

My favorite smoothie place in SB. It's all about the Peanut Butter with Chocolate. It's a must, if you've never tried it. Always hits the spot.

Awesome! Great place for fresh juice and smoothies. The staff were very organized that allowed for quick service!

Always good smoothies! Never had a bad one before from here!

The service and staff are very efficient and very delicious, the whole menu is 😋

Everytime I'm in Santa Barbara I make sure to save room for a healthy drinkable goodness! Yes. Best place, wish one was in Los Angeles.

Great local smoothie shop serving up a huge variety of healthy shake combos and fresh pressed juices.

Super friendly staff and they make the drinks fast. Ask about the special new boosts available and Acai Bowls.

Wonderful service. Very friendly and hardworking staff. Drinks are delicious. And are truly made from real fruit.

Prices and location can't be beat. A bit tight inside but staff works hard even when it's crowded.

This place is amazing! I got the moca shake with bananas and it was delicious! Highly recommend!

Superfast service, very defined flavors, great customer service, easy access. !

Awesome smoothies. Great taste. Great service. Thank you..😁🤠☀️⛵🏖️🌴

Been having blenders since they first open in SB and still the best!

I had an excellent experience at Blender’s! The variety of options really stood out — there’s something for everyone, especially if you’re looking for healthier choices without sacrificing flavor. Their smoothies are incredibly tasty, fresh, and well-balanced. You can tell they use quality ingredients.

Best smoothie’s I’ve had in a while. The original and red orange are amazing! They make the smoothies with ice cream so it is more of a shake but delicious non the less. Staff are very friendly at this location.

Ordered the Original 12 oz with Chia Seeds. Heard recommendations from friends in Santa Barbara that this is a must try shop. Very pleasant and refreshing drink. The orange juice did not overwhelm the strawberry and banana. The consistency was very smooth and remained thick. Hardly any separation between the more liquid parts of the drink from the solids. I don't think going for the 24 oz is necessary but if you're thirsty, it's not a bad deal. Appreciated that they do use paper straws and thankfully did not become too soggy after some time.

It’s amazing!! I tried a lots of things and all were sooo good. The smoothies are enormous. But my favorite is the açaí, plus is much cheaper than in others places. Everywhere i go it’s more than 10 dollars, and there is 7 dollars. Ohh and not to mention the pitaya bowl, OMG 😍. Totally worth it.

Was craving some fresh squeezed/pressed juice after a long walk with the pups. Google mapped it and this little gem popped up. Juice was yums and refreshing while we walked all the way up the temporary pedestrian street. SB was pretty dead for a Saturday but given the COVID situation there was still a good number of people shopping.

AWSOME. Best smoothie place. Very busy but worth the wait. Always go for peanut butter. Very refreshing.

We stopped by for a shake and it was very good I had the peanut butter chocolate and banana and my wife had the strawberry and they were both very very delicious

VALUE. Wow. A big old 24 ounce smoothie with fresh veggies for $6.50 - and they through in a free supplement so I added spinach. The only thing better than these prices into today’s inflationary environment was the taste and quality of the smoothie - well done team.

I originally left a 1 star review, but I think I came on a bad day or at the wrong time. I have since gone back, not once, but TWICE, and will be going again I assume. The owner did reach out after I left my review and did seem genuinely concerned about customer experience and making sure his staff is supported as well. I think knowing that an owner wants to correct as they go so they can continue to have a great business is appealing in itself. Wasn't to tell a customer they were wrong, or get mad at an employee. PLUS, I would have been only hurting myself if I didn't go in and try the Peanut Butter smoothie.

Fantastic place. Large, but easy to navigate, menu with all sorts of add-ons to boost your choice. We had three different juices/creamy blend: blue apple; peanut butter; can’t remember the other. We also had one of the bowls, which were great too.

Best smoothies anywhere! They have a huge selection of smoothies, all tasty and rich in flavor. My favorite are the 50/50 and Tropical Mango. You could never go wrong with Blenders.

I was in a bad mood and Kevin’s customers service made it 10/10. The smoothie was really good

Used to love the chain with at least a once per week visit for smoothies for the entire crew, but all of us got sick more than once with their "Better Finger". Maybe it's just the DT location or what is in the "Better Finger" drink. Will try another location and review.

We went during the farmers market on State Street. It is a small store. However, there is some seating 💺so you can rest a little. Nice and clean inside.

Best smoothies ever if you want to eat healthy this is the place, the only but that I found is that is not cheap

Sometimes they get my drink completely wrong but then there are magical times when my drink is waaaay better than what I was going for!!!! #tossup

Great spot for a healthy smoothie or a green drink while you’re walking in downtown Santa Barbara on the main strip. This is a pretty laid-back place where you can get a variety of healthy smoothies, as well as more calorie dense and rich smoothies. The service was quick, and the staff wasn’t overly friendly, but very professional. I think one way the spot could be improved by having one or two tables on the outside or inside, so that you can sit down while you are waiting or after you order your drink. Otherwise, this is a great spot for a good smoothie, and is in a great location right next to historic shopping and eating.

Before Jamba Juice there was Blenders (In The Grass). Jamba Juice used to be right up the block, but not anymore. That should tell you something. A long-standing staple for smoothies in the Santa Barbara in Central Coast area ,Blenders is a local favorite for smoothies, juice, and fruit bowls. The ingredients always taste fresh and every item is made to order. I particularly like the smoothies, including the Banana and Red Banana. This location is downtown and is fairly small. All orders are to go (take away). My only complaint is the paper straws. They simply don’t last long with a thick smoothie.

This a great place for shakes and smoothies. There are a ton of healthy adds you can do too. This place is located on the 700 block of lower state. It's next to McConnells. There are a variety of smoothies to choose from, I think you just have to be aware of all the sugar. It's not as healthy as you think. Not to mention, they are a huge chain and they are not using organic ingredients. So if you are as health conscious I am, you might be by thinking there is a ton of glycophosphate in this yummy smoothie I am drinking. If you're not getting food at home, It's hard to avoid this type of thing though.

7-6-21: Busy place and wanted to try their smoothie. Ordered a blueberry orange juice smoothie. It had an odd after taste that's probably from the frozen mix. Overall, four ⭐ and would try another flavor next time.

Staff works insanely hard for their pay. Smoothies are usually made right but keep a very close eye on it if you have allergies, and alert them of your allergies. After trying smoothies at other places I have to say these are the best tasting smoothies I've ever had. Not the best for you, mind you, but you can always make it taste lame and just do fruit and juice, cutting out the ice cream. You will regret it. Just get a juice instead of a fruit and juice smoothie.

Fresh ingredients makes it hard to go wrong. They offer your normal selection of smoothy combinations but not juice. I found it highly odd that they have no recipes for Juicing. Yes you read that correctly. They actually have no idea how to make a juice blend. They list all the ingredients but they ask which ones "you want". No helpful hints, no combinations, no quantities for each just a culinary blank. You can get smoothies all day long but not one clue as to how to put together a blended juice. This is utterly shameful for a juice bar and completely inexcusable for 2021.

My smoothie tasted like syrup. 24 Oz of sickly sweet syrup... And they pretend this is healthy.

Great service, fair prices, but to be blunt, the smoothies tasted weird and we ended up throwing them away.

Please don’t trust this place. I forget my card here and I called if they had it and they said yes. But when I went to pick it up they didn’t have it. Then I checked my account and it Showed us that someone used 40$ dollars on my account worth of Starbucks I will not be back here again.

This was not a good trip to blenders. The cashier had terrible customer service. When I got my smoothie it was not full it was almost halfway empty and very watery.

The worst experience at blenders today. I’m usually in and out within ten minutes. Not today. I’ve been here over 15 minutes and still waiting on a simple single smoothie. All the staff is glum and unenthusiastic. I’ve never been more disappointed in total over all experience.

It's been a while since I've gone to the Blenders on State Street and I know now not to go anymore. The cashier that was taking orders around 2:00pm whos name starts with an M, greets you with a face that screams that she doesn't want to be there. She was rude, and after repeating my order several times a total of 3 drinks she was grabbing her face with an annoyed looked. Also 5 people were standing in line waiting for thier order to be taken and after standing there for a while without her or anyone Acknowledging them, they left.The Company should really consider who they are hiring because at the end it reflects bad on them for failing to train thier employees on simple customers service.
