Lucky Lotus

I really enjoyed my Detox Lemonade but I wasn’t too happy about the super watery smoothie my son received. And the cup wasn’t even filled all the way. I appreciate healthy places like this but I’m not sure I would buy a smoothie here, again.

I wish this place had a location in LA. $ 6 juices?!? $ 5 charcoal lemonade? $ 7 acai bowls? Can we please get these prices in LA? I got the charcoal lemonade and it was refreshing and a little sweet. It definitely hit the spot. I am definitely coming back the next time I’m in ATL.

The vegan wraps in the display case grabbed my attention — but they have an assortment of fresh juices and smoothies as well. I also saw a myriad of $ 3 wellness «shots» — I chose a wheat grass shot with lemon juice and ginger. It burned SO GOOD. I really enjoyed it. I actually want one now lol. Anyhoo, I grabbed the vegan wrap for a weekday work lunch — the kale wrap was only $ 5 and comes with a sinfully delicious tahini/​olive oil sauce to dip in. The wrap itself is a little «strong» due to the raw kale and red cabbage, but I just ate about half of the wrap and it was extremely filling — the other half is staring at me right now. I would come by again just to grab a wrap.
It would be nice if they had a little recycling bin next to their stall for the empty plastic bottles. I walked through Ponce City Market and could not find a single recycling bin for my wheat grass shot bottle.

My 1^st visit was not terrible but also not the best. I enjoyed my Kale Quencher but they handed me the smoothie ¾ full… whaaaa? It just looks bad & obviously I didn’t get what I paid for. Everything on the menu sounded good so I might give Lucky Lotus another try.
Lucky Lotus is located inside Ponce City Market across from Jia. The parking situation at PCM is a nightmare (see my PCM review) so give yourself some extra time if you plan on coming here during lunch hours. Walking or biking here is the best option.

The girl at the register with the short bob braids is unsanitary. She rubbed her mouth and nose before putting gloves on to make my drink. She should have washed her hands first especially after touching the money I handed her. It took her longer than it should have to make it because she was too busy flirting with the security guard while making my drink. I was the only customer at the time and she was talking to her co worker before I walked up so its not like they were busy. Then another light skinned girl came in and he started flirting with her too. My friend who was waiting for me came over to ask what was taking so long.
Giving two stars only because my smoothie was delicious or else I’d be giving only one. The product is good but they need better staff. Hire staff that will focus on customer service and not flirting and joking around all the time. You can have good product but people aren’t going to return if you have bad customer service!

Lucky Lotus smoothies just taste super fresh and delish! I ordered the Kale Mango Smoothie and I *honestly* wasn’t expecting to like it, because kale, but I wanted to give kale just one more shot, because I know it’s super healthy but every time I had tried it previously, I HATED it! But lo and behold, when I took a sip of the Kale Mango Smoothie from Lucky Lotus, it was actually extremely good!!! It was actually one of the best smoothies I have ever tasted, and I am like a smoothie addict! lol. I want to come back and try out their juices. Overall I’d for sure recommend checking it out.

The Kale Mango Smoothie is on point. Much better tasting than the ones at Whole Foods across the street. I remember seeing prepared salads so definitely will try one next time.

Eh. I think that sums up my experience. I ordered a juice because I have Crohn’s and the thickness of smoothies sometimes messes with me. Juices I can handle though. Sadly, it’s not juice. They simply throw everything in a Vitamix (not a juicer) and then dilute it with a TON of coconut water (or in my boyfriend’s case, almond milk). So my juice experience was a flat 0 because I wound up throwing it away after being slapped in the face with coconut and chewing half a carrot.
This review MIGHT be edited after I try a smoothie. They looked good and those are supposed to be thick/​chewy. As of right now, I was wildly unimpressed. I’ll stick with the Whole Foods juice bar. It’s cheaper and they actually make juice.

Vegan. Amazing. Great selection of interesting dishes. Everything packaged to take away.

The flavors are good. Not overly sweet, and a distinct freshness to it. I’ve only had the feel the burn so far, which is green and not orange. Weird.
Overall I’d come back once in a while, but $ 6 for the 16oz is just a tad expensive to do frequently.
