| - What a great addition to the Downtown cold pressed juice scene! The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable. Their variety is simple yet well rounded. All juices are perfectly chilled. Along with the juices on their site, they also offer granola bars, fresh salads, and locally made yogurt. Juices, smoothies and nut milks are all $8. I've tried most of their products and this is what I think of each:
Green #1: Pear, Cucumber, Romaine, Lemon, Kale. The cucumber and lemon are strong in this blend. The kale and romaine taste isn't overpowering and the pear is the perfect amount of sweetness. This is my second favorite juice.
Green #2: Spinach, Parsley, Apple, Kale, Celery, Lemon. My favorite!! Holy health punch! Great blend and not as sweet as Green #1. This is a common green blend with most juice bars but Local Press really hits the nail on the head. The parsley addition is perfect and well balanced with the rest of the ingredients.
Carrot (Carrot, Orange, Ginger) & Beet Blend (Beet, Carrot, Apple, Ginger, Lemon, Parsley): The ginger is strong in these two. Yum! I enjoy that taste but I know it isn't for everyone.
Spicy Lemonade: I like to start my day with this or grab it mid-morning for a good pick me up. Great for digestive health and not overly sweet with the agave.
Pgh Punch: Pineaaple, orange, blackberry, lavender- I've tasted this but I've never bought one because it's too sweet for my preference. The lavender pairs so well in this blend- great for fruit lovers!
Almond Milk: Almond, coconut flakes, madagascar vanilla, dates, cinnamon- YUM!! I can't say enough good things about this milk. I've had a cashew version at other juice bars and I wish they offered it here!
I haven't tried the smoothies yet because the ingredients haven't been avaiable when I've stopped in. Bummer :( I assume this'll improve when the kinks of opening a new business get worked out. Business hours, too. Site says 7:30am but some mornings I've had to wait until 9am to stop over.
Also important to note: they recycle the glass bottles so take them back! I've been promised a credit program will be rolled out in the future!
Keep up the great work, Local Press!!!
