| - I've been wanting to stop in here for a while because I heard good things about the place and also because I work close by.
Despite the freezing cold, I decided to give it a go on my lunch break today. Now, the place is cute and there is a menu board which lists all of the different juices, juice shots, and smoothies. I decided ahead of time that I would get a Refresh Smoothie, which consists of basil, blueberries, spinach, chia and bananas. I prefer fresh tastes and fruits over cream or a sweet-tasting drink. It did take the lady a few minutes to make, which I expected. But it took even longer because she stopped in the middle of making my drink in order to pay the window washer. Yes, someone was washing windows and it is 9 degrees outside. So, for that, by all means, pay the man and I'll wait cause I sure as heck am not washing windows in these frigid temps.
I have to admit that the drink was delicious and tasted extremely fresh. However....I simply cannot get over the prices in comparison to the size of the drinks. I did comment that I thought the cup sizes (just small or large) were rather, well, small. A small drink is about 9 - 10 ounces (I'm guesstimating). The lady explained the whole organic / holistic / no GMO's sugars or gluten concept to me, which I totally get and appreciate. However....still expensive in my book. A small smoothie is $4.50 plus tax. A large is $8.25-$8.50. I got a small because 1) again, the price and 2) I wasn't sure if I'd like it.
The other thing is that I did look in advance and saw that their facebook page stated that a large Refresh smoothie was $5.75. Here is the link from today: https://www.facebook.com/thegreenberry/menu?ref=page_internal
Anyways, she informed me that this is incorrect. Well, in my experience, it seems like whatever your advertised price is, is what you should pay. Not my fault that it wasn't updated, right? She didn't offer to give me a large for said price, so there's my third reason for getting a small.
Last of all, I asked about the juice cleanses, which I saw online. She explained that they are designed to be 1 to 3 days and you can eat a salad or veggie soup, not just the juice. I asked what do you get? how much is it? Well, I should have known. I was told you get one large sized glass of cleanser for the day (so like twice the size of a small) and it's $50 per day. What?!
I'm thinking that this just isn't my thing. Maybe it's just me being cheap, idk. But, at any rate, I thought about giving this place 2 stars. But honestly, it's clean, it's got a good concept, and my drink was tasty. So, I can't fault them for my skepticism. 3 stars it is but I most likely won't return.
