I love the smoothies at Emerald City. There are a ton of smoothie options (non-fat milk/soy milk/ice ream/protein powders...) and even a kids menu that offers the same great taste at a LOWER price. My mom (who is in her 60s) and my son (who is 7) also like Emeralds. But as one reviewer noted, this place does not offer yogurt products. I dont see this as a negative, I just see it as a place for people who dont prefer yogurt. As for me, I like yogurt, but I like soy just as much. Be warned, this is not a fast-food place. There is one guy behind the counter and he is doing it all (orders...cashier...making smoothies), so BE READY TO WAIT, especially if there is someone already in line. For those who are waiting to order or receive their smoothie, there is a television on and there are tales and chairs. I usually get into a conversation with the guy about current events playing out on the television, and I notice that most customers are chatting with him because they are regulars (like myself). He looks quiet but, if you initiate a topic, youll will find that he is friendly and likes to chat. As for decor, the place is clean and has simple/nice decorations. *FYI: Another reviewer mentioned that they were charged for tipping even though they had not included a tip on their credit card receipt. I have used a credit card for all of my purchases and have not found any discrepancies, but I cannot say that this wont/doesnt happen to anyone else; so it sounds as if it is a good idea to later check your credit card transaction history to ensure that this extra charge is not on your receipt. If you like smoothies, I think youll find this place is worth a try (and maybe even your recurring patronage).

What I got (a raspberry something) was delicious. My friend said her Berry Berry was too. I was just overwhelmed by all the choices! Not only by the basic flavors (which are clearly explained on the menu board) but by the various additives you can get, like protein powders. Menu lists info about calories + 2 other things Ive forgotten, but as a diabetic, I wish it also listed total carbs. (Just to be clear, in case youre reading this, Emerald City Smoothie: TOTAL carbs, not just "sugar"; thats what diabetics have to watch.) Service was fast. Im baffled why they chose to make the place so dark; walking in out of bright sunlight, it was especially dark! Its about fruit & health--why not make it bright & cheery?!

They are GREAT smoothies BUT be careful. If you use a charge card and dont tip they end up charging your card later for any where between 10%-15%! I go in and get 2 smoothies usually for around $10.60 and then usually put tip money in the tip jar. This is the 3rd time I have checked my account several days later only to find an additional $1.40 to $1.60 charged to my credit card! When I call they claim to know nothing about it so I have to go through my bank to get them to disbute the charge! ugh!! Be careful. you are safer to just pay by cash.

I love their smoothies, but Im a bit put off by that one Asian girl whenever I go in to get a smoothie. I feel awkward in that place, but the smoothies keeps me coming back. I once asked her if I can pay with my debit card so I could get my cask back, got a nasty look like I did something wrong to her(obviously didnt) and then she started to text in front of me. Overall could be better in customer service,

I love this place and personally know they keep a very clean establishment. The staff is younger and dont go "above and beyond" with the customer service, but are nice and I cant complain. Great place to grab a quick light "meal"...I defiantly use this in place of fast food on my lunch break.

So, I thought to myself "Hey, a smoothie place in connecticut? I should go check that out" Turns out to be a condo in the middle of a huge condo complex. I didnt really feel like knocking on the door to find some dude running a smoothie store out of his kitchen.

Bad customer service. Kids run this place! I feel like Im bothering them as soon as I walk in and I go in a lot. Theyre not friendly and just stare at you until you order. Smoothies are good though but I need to find another spot who appreciates their customers.

I love this place. Great smoothie selection. You can get vegan smoothies which is always a bonus for me. Very quick and delicious. I moved out of state last year, but I still go back every time I visit.

Great variety of smoothie options. Customer service is what brings me back. The high school kids are respectful and kind. The smoothies are always delicious and well worth the price. 10/10 recommend

I love going to Emerald for a smoothie once in a while. They make them fresh while you wait and have tons of add-ins for whatever your looking for. My favorite is Strawberry Banana and Kale! mmmm

My go to place for smoothies. Great selection but strange location for smoothie joint. Hope they stay around. Great stop after a workout when I dont want a huge meal after.

Great smoothies! Perfect snack, meal alternative or way to feel healthy. Beta boost is great, sambazon and pb&j are my favs too!

Theyre definitely #1 in smoothies. No comparison. Zone Zinger with some peanut butter, kale, wheat germ and spinach, ROCKS..

I have always liked the service and the smoothies here. I guess everyone has different experiences.

Used to go here quite a lot, but stopped because it became a bit expensive.
