Mellie's Veggies: Hey wanna get Nékter?

Does this area look familiar? If you're an art student, that's a stupid question, but this is the sort-of-but-not-really mysterious location of Nekter! Yes, we do have a juice bar on campus now, how cali. Nekter opened at USC at the beginning of this semester and they've been a hit! Lucky for the engineering and art/architecture students, it's over in that section on campus.

Directions: Head down Trousdale, when you hit Bloom Walk turn right (behind ZHS). Then once you hit this, turn left into the little courtyard and you can't miss it.

Note: Nekter is not for the indecisive. They have quite the menu.
Personally, I go for the acai bowls. I think Nekter does a great job and I've tried them all, with my favorite still being the classic Trojan Bowl. For juices, I've tried the Cure and the Toxin Flush and loved them both and for smoothies I've tried the Chocolate Dream. I like the acai bowls because they're so filling - they're a full meal. Might not look like it but with all the granola they stick in there, it's perfect. If you're deciding between Nekter and Amazebowls, I'd vote Nekter. Sure, it's not the most convenient location for everyone, but they give you more food and it's about the same price.

Back when they first opened, it was easy to tell that they hadn't gotten everything figured out yet. Orders commonly got lost, you could be waiting for 20 minutes, or you would hear the manager yelling at the rest of the employees to pick up the pace (awkward).. But that's all a thing of the past! They've definitely learned a lot from being there for a semester and I expect that their business will only do better as more USC students learn where it is!

The layout of the place is pretty awkward, it's a little small for them, but they make do. When you walk in, order there at that counter on the left by the menus, then take the slip they give you to the cashiers by the normal campus sushi and snack cases.
