| - When I first saw this place, I sighed and thought to myself, oh, another business that will close in 6 - 12 months. Most nearby residents would agree that Bayview has been struggling and that the commercial streetscape has sadly changed as often as the seasons.
Then it happened one day on my usual dog walks. I set aside my jaded blinders and noticed on their store window: cold pressed juices (ya, I thought it was simply a smoothie bar and who doesn't own a Vitamix or Blendtec, etc?). Now, for those who haven't had a cold pressed juice ever, I won't say it's life changing, unless of course, you've never had glow-ey skin, because that's really the thrilling benefit of drinking these expensive organic concoctions. I cannot see how it's purifying my blood or detoxing my liver, but there is definitely a perceptible glow that compliments my BB cream and SPF 70 sunscreen. I really take glow seriously.
The service is both friendly and competent. I was immediately offered a tasting flight and left with 3 bottles instead of my intended 1. I enjoyed most of them and especially love Kale Kraze and another formulation made with beets and grapefruit.
I've tried cold pressed juices from BR and Greenhouse and though Refuel lacks their sophistication, I continue to return for their exceptional service and prices. A daily cleanse can be had for $50 a day delivered! I suspect they always ask, but just in case, they have a no cost loyalty program whereby a .50 discount is accrued for every bottle purchased and of course, there is also a .50 credit for every bottle returned.
Final word/chant:
Please stay open, please stay open...
