Verb Energy earns largely positive reviews for delivering a noticeable, jitter-free caffeine boost in a compact bar, with standout flavors like Salted Peanut Butter, Double Chocolate, and Caramel Macchiato. Reviews also flag inconsistent taste and texture across flavors, small bar size with low protein, occasional crumbliness or brittleness, and polarizing experiences with subscriptions and communications.

Very tasty! And a good pick me up

Love these, 100 calories, 100mg caffeine, perfect afternoon snack. They're a bit pricey but still quite inexpensive really
Good flavor. For the size of the bar, I don't think this bar is worth the price, though.
I love this product more than anything I have reviewed

I have only had the chance to try the Cookie Butter flavor but liked it, and the energy kick it provided was legit. I look forward to trying additional flavors!

I've been a happy Verb customer for over a year. I don't love coffee and sometimes need a midday pick-me-up, so Verb was a welcome addition to my life. I keep a few in my bag at all times and will have up to three per day. Super portable, subtle effect, great flavors, and very pleasant texting experience to manage orders.

I wish the packaging was more sustainable and that there was less sugar.
Delicious and super cute packaging! I don't normally love bars but these are good and not super dense, which makes them great for a little in-between snack.

I wasn't sure what to expect when a friend who works at the company gave me these but I tried the vanilla latte and peanut butter flavors and am a big fan of both flavor and caffeine content. I also liked that they were smaller than other bars / easy to carry as a between meetings option. Will definitely be buying these flavors and trying others.

Don't do business with this Scam Operation. To quote VerbEnergy after forcing me to exert far too much time, attention, and "energy" to cancel their unwanted, unrequested, and stupidly over-priced "default" automatic shipment: "The trial is for Verb Flex, our flexible reoccurring order plan, which has a default first shipment. Sorry if that is not clear and explained to you when you first placed your trial order." No, it's not explained anywhere, including their FAQs. And why on earth would anyone want to subscribe to a product they haven't even tried yet? Especially a food product where taste ultimately decides? Cancelling their Forced Order online is no easy task, unless you like playing "Where's Waldo". It's NOT available in any of the obvious places: NOT with the Account "Gear" Icon on the top right that only enables you to change "text" notification options. Not with any of their View or supposed "Edit" options, which only allow you to change "when" you receive their scam shipment. Not with the "Burger" Icon on the Top left, which isn't even available unless you bounce through a few pages. Nope; you have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, past all their promotional crap, to their very obscure link. Also, they give only 1-day advance notice to cancel, including weekends and holidays, which is when I received mine, so I had to cancel online--Woohoo, Happy Holidays!I Clearly, they want to give you as little time as possible to prevent their scam subscription. If you don't cancel within that 24-hour period, they'll claim that the order can't be cancelled because it was already shipped, as happened to a friend of mine via text--they don't answer their phone. My angry cancellation texts weren't answered until their 2nd business day. If they try this with you, simply say you'll reject the shipment and dispute any charges with your credit card. Magically, they'll be able to cancel the order. To get my payment information removed, which I never gave them permission to keep in their records, I had to threaten multiple times that I'd call Fraud Prevention if they didn't remove it--you can't edit this information either. Especially as a Vegan committed to ethical food practices, I won't do business with VerbEnergy. Then there's the fact that they sucked far more "energy" out of my life than their over-priced bars are worth. I encourage everyone to boycott this scam operation.

Customer Solutions: Order Cancellation link is at the very bottom of the page you land on off the link in their Notification Text/Email. If they claim it's too late to cancel, simply say you'll reject the shipment when it arrives and dispute any charges with your credit card. Magically, they'll be able to cancel the order. Demand they remove your Payment Information, so they can't charge you without an official order from you. Don't buy from Verb until they change their business practices. Tell your friends; companies only change when it costs them enough business. Demand they change their business practices in the follow manner. VerbEnergy Solutions Have some Integrity: many other negative reviews are out there as well about VerbEnergy's business practices! VerbEnergy needs to Stop their "default" subscription scam! Subscriptions should be up to the Customer alone, with easy and clear Options to Opt In--NOT Opt Out! Notices of Subscription Shipments should be 72 hours at the very least, excluding weekends and holidays! Cancelling needs to be obvious and straightforward, instead of making it difficult by design! Payment information should only be saved if the Customer approves it! Removal of Payment information should be easy to do! Prices should be reasonable, not obnoxiously overpriced, especially as a Vegan Option capitalizing off Food and Climate Ethics!

These are so, so tasty! My favorites are the red velvet cake bar and the caramel macchiato, but there are so many excellent flavors with new ones being developed all the time. I also like that I can reorder my Verbs through text message! It's so convenient to shoot off a quick text (that's answered by a real person!) and have my order in ASAP.

These are a lifesaver when you need some extra zip but don't have the time to make, buy, or drink coffee. Perfect for early mornings, long workdays, and big hikes.
