Earthbar 4th Ave - San Mateo

This place is a waste of space. It’s rarely open. And when it is open, it’s unclear if a person will show up to make smoothies. Today I stopped by for a smoothie at 2:50pm. I was informed that a worker was supposed to show up at 2pm but didn’t. Ridiculous.

Despite the posted hours, EarthBar at this location is consistently closed with no staff present and everything locked up. It is disappointing because I would like to order their smoothies if they were open. When they are available, the smoothies are quite good.

DO NOT ORDER Pickup! I prepaid for my order and when I came to pick it up no one was there and I can’t even get a refund

I ordered a smoothie on Uber Eats today, and I arrived to pick it up a few minutes early. There was no one behind the counter making anything. I waited about 12 minutes before leaving. I cancelled my order but I wasn 't able to get a refund bc it had been accepted and made . There was no one here!!I bought a different smoothie earlier in the week and apparently there was an employee here but they were sitting at a table on a laptop and their phone, so they didn 't notice or acknowledge me until I had been standing and waiting for a while. My smoothie was ready and waiting though, to be fair.If you work here, please wear clothing that clearly identifies you as an employee and stay behind the counter so that, if someone is actually working, people who are picking up food know who to talk to.

Two hard-boiled eggs cost $6.75 before tax at this place, which pretty much sums up the experience. It may appeal to techies who have recently moved to the area and are willing to pay inflated prices, but for everyone else, it's a joke.
