| - A juice bar should have fresh juice. Period. What even is this place! First off, pretty much everything is at least $7. So if I am going to pay that much then I expect it to be fresh.
Some of the menu options were puzzling. Also if you are the type of person who drinks essential oils, this place is for you. But it's a stupid thing to do, FYI - no matter what your prepper uncle who sells them for a living says on Facebook. They are not intended for internal use or consumption. There's your health PSA for the day.
Anyway, the person at the counter was very friendly - I asked, "can I make my own?" after surveying the menu. Sure. Great! I ask for apple, cucumber, parsley, ginger. She looked very puzzled and asked, oh, you want to make your own juice? Yep, that's what I meant when I asked if I could make my own juice and you said yes. So she suggests that I try the greenville something or other, saying it's basically the same thing - okay, not really but sure. Can you make it with no kale and no spinach? No. At this point we are both pretty confused and then she sort of mumbles that everything is premade. Gross!! No thanks. Okay can I get just a shot of ginger? Of course. I'm waiting to hear the juicer kick in but silence. Literally 5 seconds later there is a manky little shot glass of old looking ginger juice. $3.75. What!!!
Honestly - this is a joke, right? Every time I am in Charlotte I'm amazed at how NoDa- particularly this location - can manage to open so many new businesses that just miss the mark. You have a place advertising fresh juice. So serve it. Also you can get one that is cheaper at Earthfare if you are really into the juicing thing. Which I'm not. But at least they are fresh.
