Such a good spot for a quick and healthy smoothie! You can’t go wrong with any of their flavors, and it’s in a great spot (right in front of the rec) for students. Sometimes the quality of smoothies vary depending on who is working.

My lovely friend ben recommended me this amazing new shake smart. To think I’ve lived in the SLO area for 15 years and haven’t been here is outrageous! This is my new go to place that I’ll visit every morning, I truly can’t thank any of the workers there, or my lovely friend ben, enough. They truly made a shake for me like never before, one filled with passion and love. Once again, thank you ben!!!

So many options and so delicious! Caution though: protein powder can taste weird if you've never tried it before.

Hannah provided excellent service, and the acai bowl was tasty.

This place is really great. I'm suprised no one else has reviewed it yet. I am a 6th year Cal Poly student, and normally hate campus dining, but this place is so good I come here frequently. They use Gold Standard in all their shakes, the protein and macros are awesome, and the staff are super nice and seem to enjoy their jobs. Props to campus dining for doing something right (finally).

I love the menu here! There is something here for everyone and it is so easy to customize. Quick, efficient, and quality service. SLO is lucky to have Shake Smart here providing healthy and convenient nutrition (especially on a college campus). Highly recommend!!

Oh Cal Poly, what are you doing with your life. This was like a 5/10. But thanks for having food within your zip code it helps sometimes

When the consistency of their acai bowls is well-blended and firm they’re spectacular. The fruit is fresh and ripe, the toppings are made from quality ingredients, and taken together the flavors and textures complement each other perfectly. It’s a bowl of delightful deliciousness. However, I have been disappointed too many times by a runny, tasteless mess—as if a smoothie were left sitting on a hot dashboard. Why the inconsistency? They’re no longer a new shop, and I wish the kinks could’ve been worked out by now.

I don't get Shake Smart very often because there is usually a line that is way too long. And actually, it's a little confusing because you make your order first on the iPad and then get in line to pay. I can see the benefits of this system but it was just a little confusing at first. I usually order an acai bowl because I think it is way more worth it than to order a smoothie and the bowls are usually a hit or miss. I have had an excellent pb&a and other times, I have had a very watery one. It really depends on the person making it and of course, you can't control that. I would come back if I was really feeling like an acai bowl and didn't want to drive off campus.

Almost finished my ENTIRE DRINK and I luckily felt something in my mouth that was hard before I swallowed and spit it out because I got a BLENDED Grammys goods (no fruits or seeds). Found a piece of blue hard plastic in my drink, extremely hard and sharp, glass like but not glass. I can’t imagine what else I could have swallowed before noticing since my drink is literally almost finished! Probably need an audit here or something pretty ridiculous. $8 dollar drink right here…. For a small size and a piece of hard plastic.

So it’s 8:45. We go to order our shakes.....all of the ordering iPads are inside, the lights are off, and the two workers are sitting on the freezer in the back. I ask if they’re open, they smirk and say “sorry, we’re closed.” I go online to look up the hours..... SHAKE SMART DOESN’T CLOSE TIL 9:30. Moral of the story: go to shake smart at least an hour before they close cuz that’s when their workers decide to quit.

Acai bowl was gross, payment systems is weird, and there are way better options on the Cal Poly campus and I would avoid this one for sure.

if you want to wait 45 minutes for the person making your mediocre, highly overpriced smoothie to remember your order and finally make it then this is a prime location

Either they get my order wrong or it gets stolen, not worth my time. Overpriced too.

Bad. Just bad. I ordered the pb&a acai bowl, but it came with no strawberries in sight, watery, airy granola (like cheap tasting - as well as the dark chocolate chips). However, it did come with one nice big chunk of ice. Never again.

Shake Smart corporate is currently fighting to charge students with felony vandalism, which carries a prison sentence of up to three years, for stealing letters from their sign. Cal Poly's store is very profitable for the company and as a customer I am disgusted that they wish to take such brutal action against these students over letters. Theft should be addressed, but this is uncalled for. Otherwise, the smoothie bowls are fine, employees are lovely.
