| - This is a cute, cozy, free-spirited juice bar and coffee shop that I decided to check out this morning.
Since I was already late for work, I kind of came in like a whirlwind, but was greeted by three friendly and welcoming ladies which helped me slow my roll, for a little bit. So that I wasn't 20 minutes late to work, I made an executive decision not browse the shop to check out their entire inventory or wait for super fresh juice, so I opted to grab some out of the refrigerator. After a quick glance at all of the bottled juice choices, I decided to go with an 8oz Flu shot ($5) and a 16oz Green Dragon ($10).
The Flu Shot contains: organic turmeric root, organic ginger root, organic cayenne, oil of oregano, organic lemon, and organic green apple. It is sweet at first sip, but then it's spicy and leaves a very, very mild burning sensation in your throat - I dig it and would get it again.
The Green Dragon contains: organic kale, organic parsley, organic cucumber, organic celery, organic mint, organic green apple, and organic jalapeno.
These definitely taste fresher than the bottled juice at Nektar that I have tried. Maybe that's because I picked a fresher bottle? Or maybe (but more probable) it has to do with Kaleidoscope using only organic produce (yay for not ingesting pesticides and chemicals) and they cold press their juice - pretty fancy - so it's a little more expensive than other juice stores, but the taste! The taste makes it worth it. That is until I can get my parents to buy a juicer (again) that I can later "permanently borrow" (again). RIP Jack Lalanne juicer, respect!
From what I can tell, this is a locally run family production which makes me more excited to return so that I can help support an awesome local business and I believe two of them are Arizona State graduates - Go Devils!
