| - I really wanted to love this place. I love the idea, I love fresh juice, I love wheatgrass. But its just missing something, and its pricey... Let me begin this review with the fact that I may just not be hip enough for this place. It would be nice for a quick and healthy treat, but I don't think I'm cool enough to come here often.
The decor of this place is very modern and sleek. The little shop is clean and seems like everything is well taken care of. I wasn't greeted immediately, so I wasn't quite sure which end of the desk to order on, or what I should do... so I awkwardly stood there until someone said hello. I told the girl at the desk that it was my first visit, and she welcomed me and gave me a brief rundown of what they do - but it was so loud in there that I just smiled and nodded my head because I couldn't hear her. The menus are pretty simple, they list everything that they can't confirm to be organic on a little chalk board. The staff was a little stand-offish (?) I don't know if that's the right word, but they just weren't super friendly, no smiles, no interaction. Maybe I'm just not hip enough, I get this vibe in NoDa sometimes too, haha.
I ordered the immunity juice and a shot of wheatgrass. The one ounce wheatgrass shot is just under $3, but I think that's normal for the area - Earth Fare charges close to the same thing. My drink was just under $7, and the juice comes with ice in it. I like that they have a see-through wall so that you can watch every step of them prepping your juice - but as I was watching, I realized that there was a whole lot of hair happening behind the counter. Don't freak out - the girls all had their hair up in ponytails, but long ponytails where a lot of hair is still flying around. And the guy that made my drink didn't have his longer hair pulled back. It's not like I found a hair in my drink or anything, I just over think - and saw a lot of potential for hair to get where its not suppose to be.... again, maybe I'm just not hip enough. You can also buy cleanses and bottles of juice to go here.
I'll come back for a healthy treat - I won't be a regular. Its expensive, but my juice was good.
