Smoothie Operator

Parked on Lakeshore and Hanover on a Friday afternoon. in! Apple Pay Ready. Yummy smoothies for when you're walking around Lake Merritt.

The crew and I had just Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō'd a parking spot into being--a massive feat on a Sunday by the lake--when we saw the purple Smoothie Operator food truck parked across the street. It was the perfect sunny day for a smoothie, so we decided to check out the menu. The first thing that caught my eye was the Mango Lassi--a yogurt-y blend of mango, hemp seed, and other decadent ingredients. My friends opted for the same and we were all enamored at first compostable-paper-straw-slurp. The smoothies are all made from fresh, organic fruits and worth the $8 bucks that we would have easily spent on less worthy finds elsewhere. They also serve delicious iced coffee for only $2 (where they do that at nowadays?!) and scrumptious avocado toast. Stop by while you're relaxing by the lake!

Smoothie Operator was amazing! Fresh and delicious, and perfect for a sunny day at Lake Merritt. We opted for the Berry Blast ($9), which is strawberries, bananas, blueberries, lacuma powder, acai, and almond milk. Super refreshing and ready for us in minutes. Disposable straw was a nice touch. More than I'd usually pay for a smoothie, but worth it for the organic and non-GMO ingredients. Filling and healthy. The person who helped us was really friendly. There was a dog water bowl. Simple, clean menu. Even a kids' size option. Bonus points for the cute name. Highly recommend!

Fun quirky staff who will make you a smoothie to suit your needs be it sweet and fruitful or seriously green.Fresh organic ingredients are the hallmark of all their products.Homemade baked good and fresh bananas too

It's a beautiful day in the Bay Area and nothing makes a stroll around Lake Merritt better than a healthy, organic, and delicious smoothie. Smoothie Operator food truck was conveniently parked on the Lake and was offering an array of healthy organic smoothies. Gravity and Pillar, the two women operating the smoothie truck were kind, approachable, and customer focused. We ordered two Berry Blasts smoothies and they did not disappoint. The smoothies come in a 16 oz cup and were full of flavor and vitality. There were eight to ten (8-10) different smoothie options and a few choice food options like Avocado Toast for sale. Each smoothie was $9.00 so they were in line with the cost of a regular smoothie. When we approached the truck, Gravity explained that the card teacher was down and they could only take cash. I smiled and obliged. Gravity even offered me a free smoothie on my next visit for the inconvenience! That's great customer service. Definitely worth checking out.

I got a mango lasso and it tasted amazing and wholesome. Didn't get a sugar crash afterwards. The truck tempted me when I went out to Lake Merritt to work out. 10/10 would fall for temptation again.

I got the smoothie with cocoa nibs, DELICIOUS, we also got an açaí bowl and açaí smoothie, very good, great service. I definitely recommend and they use compostable products. Very happy I plan on visiting them today

Yuck! Weird bitter banana taste, fruit used in smoothie couldn't have been good quality or fresh. Avoid.

I ordered the green drink on campus a couple weeks ago. It was not to my liking at all and I regret paying $10 for it when I really should've kept walking and got a delicious matcha latte from peets.

Great location and pretty good price for the size of the smoothie! The staff/owner were all super sweet and accommodating when I wanted to combine smoothie flavors. I love that they use paper boba straws, they hold up very well and were perfect for the thickness of the smoothie :) Will definitely be coming back to try their other smoothies and their açaí bowl
