Blenders In The Grass- Downtown Santa Barbara

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.

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.

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

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.

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