Juice It Up!

Not impressed. Huge spill on the floor that they didn’t seem to concerned about and out of protein powder on a Saturday!

Nice that it isn’t ever too busy but that might be a bad sign??? They took my favorite smoothie off the menu and «are not allowed» to make it anymore. Pretty slow even for a smoothie place. It happens to be conveniently located to my gym so i will probably continue to pop in occasionally but won’t go out of my way.

I do think that juice it up has good fruit juice drinks, however, I have never tasted a green juice this bad before. It tasted like all I was drinking was foam. Terrible!

Not into juices, but I was feeling under the weather and their vegetable juices with ginger sounded good.
The service was lack luster. I agree with most who say that you feel you are bothering them during any sort of interaction.
In regards to hygiene there was none. They were shoving the items into the juicer with their bare hands. Gloves ppl gloves! I’m trying to prevent from getting sick.
Way too pricey as well. I will never come back.

This place is super good! Fresh and even when it’s just one person working, they are friendly and help explain what each stink is if I ask!
Fresh fresh fresh!!!
I’m so grateful for this place because they are open till 10 on Saturdays and they help make our gym time go faster when we give ourselves the juice for an incentive!
If you love juice and fresh goodness!!! You gotta come here!
Great prices too!

YUCK! I’ve been ordering juice it up for many years, usually lava flow or sunrise splash, but today I ordered a sunrise splash here and received nothing but orange juice flavored mush… not even a hint of peaches or bananas. On top of that, I was charged 40 cents EXTRA to have an additional small cup for my child to have some. It tasted so bad, I couldn’t drink it. The service was not smiley, friendly, or even communicative. Just a blah experience… heading to Jamba Juice to get a real treat now! So sad to see this location go downhill as I’ve been visiting since it opened across the parkway back in my high school days!

Eh… I like juice it up, especially because it’s a great place to go as a Vegan… But the service here is a 3 star. Feels like I’m bothering them when I ask for things… I mean j ask for the same hints at other Juice It Ups and never a hesitation from the employees. It’s just at this location, I try to avoid it when I can, but alas, their products are good.

The reason of this specific visit was due to the «Taste of Lake Forest» event on 9÷14÷2014. During that time, our party was somewhat dehydrated due to the lack of (free) water at the actual event, so we had to buy liquid refreshment from a third party to the event in the food court. Why didn’t this place have a booth? Some of the other establishments in the same plaza did!
Due to not being familiar with the procedure, I was very clumsy with my decision (during the time of my entry, I had no one to assist me with socializing or decision making). The procedure to make one’s own juice is to select a base and 5 ingredients, but they let us build it with a base and four ingredients (after being indecisive) and we still received a full cup. Despite this, they were very patient while I made my decision and rechecked the menu to confirm my order. When standing at the cashier area, the menu is not within the field of vision.
The juice came quickly as far as drink creation goes. They also gave us a separate cup of ice on our request (due to the 105°F heat outside).
The price was about $ 9 for a large. Our party members were unhappy over the price (as for myself, I felt it was higher than my comfort level for a price for liquid refreshment, but I was thirsty). It had a lot of fruit slime left from the ingredients we requested, so we drank to good health and good taste, not to mention to stop us from fainting.

Great juice place. They will make whatever option you want. Friendly staff and fresh juice. Lost 50+ lbs doing juice and this place help keep to juicing when I am working. If you are a regular with a particular combination, they remember without explaining every time. Good for you and goo to you.

Fast service, decent pricing, and still actually offer one free boost.

This review is strictly for their new juicing options as I love the smoothies.
I was super excited to try out Juice It Ups new juicing options. I got the detoxifier which has spinach ginger cucumber pineapple and a few other things in it. I ordered the 16 ounce which cost me almost $ 7! So I paid my $ 7 and waited about 5 minutes for my juice to be done. As soon as the woman handed it to me i knew something didn’t look right. But I figured all the pulp would settle on the top, juice on the bottom. When this happened I had 4 whole ounces of juice!!! Even then I was sucking up bits of pineapple rind and spinach leaves. The taste was great, I just wish there was enough to enjoy. I feel that maybe the juicer is a lower grade juicer OR they need to clean it out more often. My money is on cleaning.

What a waste of my time! Hours online AND posted on the door claim they open at 8am. I arrived just shy of 9am and nobody was even inside, let alone were they open. Shame for them too because everyone in my building, right across the street, that knew I was headed there, asked me why I didn’t come back with anything. Now a bunch of people know you aren’t a reliable business :/​whoops!

Really enjoy this place. It has a few options for straight up juicing, but you’re better served doing that at home if you want a lot of variety.
I like there smoothies and mixes more than Jamba Juice and it won’t set you back much, especially if you consider the alternative of getting all the produce yourself.
Always very quick, but the staff doesn’t give a damn. Can’t blame them; minimum wage and all.
Don’t forget to get your free boost!

Juice it Up! is good, but the one here is horrible! Workers talk to each other instead of working and I waited forever to get my order to find out they «forgot». This is unacceptable and last time they just took forever. This is horrible being that it is never even busy inside. They are friendly but not good workers. Don’t waste money here.

The staff is so nice! They know exactly what I am going to order when I walk in the door. Very clean, good customer service… And who doesn’t love Orange Carrot juice!!!

Very disappointed in my service today, by the manager, no less! My daughter & I had a coupon for a free 16 oz. with purchase of a larger size. I asked the cashier if I could pay the difference & get a 24oz. She said no & looked at the red headed manager. In my confusion, I asked the manager, «Really…I can’t pay you the difference for the larger size??» He seemed annoyed but said, «Well, ok, but she can only do this when I’m here because it’s too hard with part timers & full timers.» Totally didn’t get the logic in that, but whatever. He made our smoothies in a timely fashion & my daughter & I went to the counter, but when I went to put my straw in the lid, my 32 oz. tipped over & fell to the floor! I look up at the manager, who is now glaring at me, & he walks into the back room without saying a word. My daughter & I start grabbing napkins, cleaning the counter & floor. Another customer, who had just walked in, said, «Wouldn’t it be easier with a mop. Do they know you spilled?» I replied yes. I was at the counter to order another smoothie, when he finally came out. It took him at least 5 minutes to come out w/​the mop & bucket. I apologized again, but he made no eye contact or responded to my apology. He just started mopping. My daughter & I turned around & left. What has happened to customer service??? I’m sure I’m not the first person to spill their smoothie, nor will I be the last. But to be treated that way by the manager was uncalled for. I will NEVER go back to that location as long as he is there.

I am a complete smoothie fanatic and frequent this place a lot. I like that you can get more smoothie options that don’t include things like sherbert compared to Jamba Juice. I do think that i prefer robeks over both of them though. Specifically I worry about the fact that this Juice it up never has much business, and since I live around the corner, it would suck for me if they went out of business.

I’ve been to this place several times now and it hasn’t failed me yet. It is never busy, which is sad for the nice area, and the service is also friendly. The last time in particular, the juicer even took my order even past closing time. That has to count for something.

I had come here a few times when I got tired of getting coffee from little shop next door.
But I stopped coming here the day that I placed my order and saw a cockroach crawling on the counter. I probably could’ve gotten my money back, but I’m charitable.
The future business they weren’t gonna get from me was «punishment» enough.

Juice It Up is better than Jamba Juice in every way, shape, and form.
I don’t know how it’s possible that two stores can have the same ingredients and use them so differently.
I’m addicted to the Acai Energy Smoothie. Like literally. Like I usually have it at least twice a week. It’s delicious. Other than that, if you stick to the Big Berry Combo or the Raspberry Wave, you’ll enjoy.
