Juice Generation

I like the friendly service and wide range of juices and smoothies available.
I always get the Mr. Greengenes $ 7.95 + tax and sub the bananas for blueberries which they allow for no extra charge.
For the smoothies, you select the milk (I usually go with almond) and sweetener (none for me).
Sometimes when the staff blends extra, they’ll pour the excess into a cup and give it to you to either sample or for you to take along with your order. Nice way of avoiding waste!

This lemon lozenge is doing wonders to my sore throat. And it’s so delicious! I’ve had a few of their smoothies too and all of it has been great.

Came back for a second time because I was really happy with my juice last time and I wanted to try their acai bowl and another juice flavor.
This time around, I ordered the Tropical Lush fruit juice and Aloha acai bowl.
One of the ingredient in the Tropical Lush fruit juice is ginger and I was hoping the other three ingredients would mask it, boy, was I wrong. The ginger was so strong, it was completely overwhelming!
The Aloha acai bowl was good but I wouldn’t recommend it as a meal. Due to its small size, it’s more of a snack type of thing.
In conclusion, they offer good stuff and bad stuff but it is up to you whether you think it is good or bad.
P. S. The Citrus Super C is amazing!

I was actually very impressed with this spot. Although the prices are a bit high compared to others I have seen around, they do have variety of things that I have not yet seen in NYC. I am from Los Angeles where Acai is now very popular and in New York that’s not something you see as often, YET. However, this spot carries a variety of them. Like I said above, a bit pricey, but the taste was actually impressive. I tried the «coco» acai bowl and the taste was delicious, quickly made and great service.

The staff was kind and helpful (when choosing what pastries to get.) The PB Açai bowl was delicious. I asked for no pb on top because peanut butter overdose!!! :)

They have a great amount of options, you really can’t go wrong. I come here a lot.
However, they’ve messed up my order twice now — I think they’re understaffed and overwhelmed at times.
Make sure you speak up if they get it wrong and they’ll do it again for you!

Some responses on here really need redefining.
People complain about taste when ordering green based products. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? I am a huge fan of smoothies and veggie drinks for about 2 years now as I have 1 – 2 daily as part of my diet.
For pricing, this is fairly average and consistent with other locations in Manhattan. Complaining about pricing in Manhattan is like complaining about cold ice. So please be more fair and not so emotional.
MY experience was good. Two people in front of me, ordered the Mango and it tasted extremely good. All ingredients blended well. The only thing is one of the patrons in front of me made a face when I got my drink first…
THERE ARE TWO STATIONS, ONE FOR FRUIT AND ANOTHER FOR VEGETABLES. She ordered a veggie and asked why I got mine first… Folks not just here but in all places, vegetable drinks take a bit longer.
Service was good. She was courteous and was prompt.

The Green Machine smoothie is a fantastic and filling option. It’s not very sweet and makes you feel so healthy.
They use really wonderful ingredients as well. It’s so fresh!

I have been to this location twice in the past week. Once was in the morning and the other time was in the evening. I felt my experience was totally different between both times. During the morning visit, there was 7 people in front of the line. Staff were friendly and acted fast. I was able to get my smoothie (Green Guardian) in 10 minutes, which I thought it was longer than I expected. During the evening visit, only 3 customers in the store, including me. 5 staff were «working». Or acting that they were busy. I ordered the same smoothie. The guy, who supposed to make the drink, forgot to put almond milk and ice. After the juice was well mixed and sitting in the blender for 5 minutes, another guy opened the cap of the blender and put in the additional ingredients. During the entire time, the first guy was in the back and holding the faucet, as if he was washing something. Again the smoothie got blended for the second time. After 10 minutes, I finally got my drink. I said «thank you» to the guy, who handed me the drink. He said nothing in return.
Seriously, STAY AWAY from this place! The service is very inconsistent.

Would recommend the Coconut Acai smoothie. A little pricey but definitely worth it for a hot summer’s day as you can’t find it at any other smoothie shop.

Just another Jamba Juice. But for $ 7 – 8 a drink? I’ll only come here if I’m in the area and dying of thirst. Got the mucho mango which was pretty good… but nothing to rave about. 48g of sugars… not sure how healthy this really is.

Desperately craving juice during a Sunday afternoon walk, and Juice Generation seemed the most promising after a quick search on Unilocal.The shop is tiny, and the décor is simple, but the place is clean and sleek. They have great, healthy options, but most items do run up around $ 10. I think the price is worth it considering their fresh and organic ingredients. Juice Generation also posts the calorie counts for its items, so that’s a plus.
I wanted something healthy, low in calories, give me a quick boost of energy, and without added sugar. I ordered the Supa Dupa Greens, which consists of spinach, kale, parsley, collard greens, cucumber, celery, lemon, and apple. The juice was good, but I wouldn’t call it delicious. However, I would definitely drink it again because of how healthy it is.
Maybe I’ll also try one of Juice Generation’s juice cleanses…

I treat myself to a weekly Mr. Greengenes. I’ve never had green juice that I like as much as mr. greengenes. I do Juice Generation instead of Starbucks (much more healthful for the $$) and it’s next to my gym.
They *are* pricey. And they even raised prices recently, like 10%: mr. greengenes used to be $ 7.25 but now $ 7.99, which becomes $ 8.66 after tax. And I still have to get lunch?!
If they raise the prices again, I’ll probably think twice before walking in. I like the juice, but i’ll have a harder time justifying any higher price.

I was feeling disgustingly slow and tired so I thought I’d have a smoothie made from freshly squeezed fruits. I’ve walked past this place numerous times on my way to and from school and noticed that it’s always relatively empty.
I ordered the watermelon smoothie which came with fresh watermelon juice, and three types of berries. It was good, but a tad bit on the sour side.
Overall, I would come back whenever I feel like paying $ 6-​$ 7 for a smoothie or whenever I’m craving something refreshing.
One down side, one shouldn’t have to wait 10 minutes for a drink when there are 3 employees in the back and only 2 customers ahead of me at 3PM on a Monday.

I have yet to hop on the smoothie bandwagon, but Juice Generation may just change that. I got the Mr. Greengenes, which is made with mango, banana, kale, spinach, raw agave, and ice with a choice of soy, almond, or hemp milk.
I was floored when I sucked through that straw and the smoothie entered my mouth — so delicious and refreshing! I don’t know what their secret ingredient is (well, they do list everything they grind in the smoothie on the menu… I guess it’s all about the proportion!), but the Mr. Greengenes was definitely the BEST 250 calories (20oz serving) liquid I have ever put in my body. Knocking off a star because it’s expensive and a bit too high in calories (unless it’s your meal replacement).

Probably one of the better juice place I’ve been to and I haven’t been to many. There are a lot of creative options which is much different versus Jamba Juice for example.
The Acai bowls look good but I’ve had the Joyful almond twice now and it’s been bomb each time.

Expensive, but tasty. Loved the Supa Dupa Greens!

I ordered a protein buzz with almond milk, whey protein, and both raspberries and blueberries. It tasted pretty good, although I remember thinking it wasn’t very sweet for something that had 27g of sugar. The smoothies seem pricey at $ 7.25+ but when you think of the organic (supposedly) ingredients that they are using, the higher price makes sense. It’s not a place that I would really go to enjoy a smoothie, but more for the nutrients that are offered.

This place is pretty great.
I’m not into the «juice» craze that is sweeping the nation — I keep it old school and eat whole fruits and vegetables on the regular.
A friend of mine suggested getting smoothies and I agreed. The menu of drinks here is pretty diverse and there is something for everyone especially if you follow certain diet constraints (no milk for me!) I chose the I love Watermelon and loved it!
I can see why people are so addicted and the smoothies/​juices here seem to be a lot healthier/​cheaper than Jamba Juice. The offerings certainly make me feel better than getting a bag of M&Ms at Duane Reade. But alas, I still refuse to conform to the juice trend. There is no fighting you Juice Generation, but I’ll be the maverick in the corner munching on whole watermelon.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh snap! Jamba Juice, you just got served! Everyone, you need to visit this location ASAP. I do not care how… Walk, run, skip or sleepwalk! They provide healthy eating at reasonable prices. Ahem, did you forget is summer time? Order yourself smoothie and sip away.
Look, you know I had to visit this interesting place, because they offer Açai. Açai is a Brazilian treat that is quite addictive, so it wasn’t a surprise that I ordered myself a bowl of Açai with no hesitation. If you ever decide to visit Bahia, you will find Açai juice shops everywhere and I tend to go there daily. Let me tell you a classified secret, they say if you eat a bowl you can make your lover very happy behind closed doors. So people, get yourself a salad bowl serving. You have to get busy tonight. Forget Viagra! Their menu will deliver unbelievable energy.
