Juice Press

I go here mostly Saturdays and this girl named Shy is always there. She is polite and ready to help. I had to write this review because she was in the store by herself one day and helped everyone out with a smile on her face. Great customer service.

The selection of juices is pretty good at this location. I had the lucky seven juice that was sweet and spicy but went down smooth and not too overwhelming. I also had a sample of the fountaon of youth which was too thick/​chunky for my taste. The juices range from $ 10-​$ 13.

I just bought a 1 day cleanse after a decadent weekend in the Catskills. The manager I’m assuming was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me pick out juices for a customized cleanse, keeping in mind that a cleanser should be at least consuming 1200 calories or more. He gave me a good variety while asking me what kind of flavors I enjoyed. Definitely will be coming here more often!

This place lost four stars for service and one for price, but gained two back for flavor. This place employs three to four people behind the counter, presumably to keep each other entertained and help workshop pickup lines for the pretty girls that stroll in.
I waited like an invisible man at the counter while three guys and one girl chatted about weekend plans. After they took my order, one of them started my smoothie but took 10 minutes to get it into a blender, all the while sharing phone numbers and swapping war stories from last night’s bar conquest.
They finished my drink and gave it to the wrong person. So they started over again. They gained a star back by giving me a free juice for all the fuss.
Prices are outrageous but kind of worth it because they’re fresh and unique tasting.

Below is the letter I just sent Juice Press about a recent experience. I thought Yeplers might get some needed information from it, too. Names have been removed of the offenders. TL;DR: Go to the store on 122 Greenwich Ave.
I have two tales of customer service to tell. One of them is a stellar review of a customer service representative named Emma from your phone line, and the second is a tale of the disrespect I encountered from an employee at the 10^th St and 2^nd Ave location named WorkerX.
This afternoon, I spoke with a customer service representative about ordering a juice cleanse. Her name was Emma. She was amazing. She talked with me for 24 minutes and never once became irritated by my questions or requests. She helped me custom-​design a cleanse that I was extremely excited to begin tomorrow morning. She called two different stores to find one that had the supplies to make the cleanse we designed. The 10^th St and 2^nd Ave location had the juices.
However, when I arrived at the store, it was a very different experience. WorkerX, the employee at the register, had a different mindset of what customer service should be like. I told him I was there to pick up a cleanse, and he told me it was «In the fridge.» He expected me to put the cleanse together (i.e., to pick out the juices in the cleanse from the refrigerator). I didn’t have any idea which juices were in the NYC cleanse. I knew I was substituting Glo for a berry smoothie. However, Emma told me they would have it ready and they would make my smoothie for me when I arrived, so I hadn’t looked or written anything down.
WorkerX walked over to the refrigerator when he realized I didn’t know what juices to get, and he picked out the juices. I told him I was substituting Glo for a berry smoothie, and he told me that the smoothie area closes at 9PM. It was 9:05.
I asked him if Emma called ahead, and he said that she had. He just stood there offering no suggestion for a juice they had or an apology. He had a very flat affect. He was just very matter-​of-​fact that the smoothie area was closed. It was only when I asked for his name that he told me he would make the smoothie. If he could make the smoothie, I am confused as to why he wouldn’t make it for me before I asked his name. To be honest, that shows me that he only offered to provide me with the order I placed over the phone when he was concerned that I would write this e-​mail. I did.
I didn’t get the cleanse. I wanted to reach out to you before patronizing your business. Emma was wonderful, but WorkerX was a polar opposite. This was my first attempt at ordering a juice cleanse from Juice Press. I am a bi-​monthly juicer with BluePrint Cleanse, and I thought I would give you a try on a whim. I am unsure of if I will go to your establishment again for a cleanse. I have bought juices (love the fountain of youth), but I will never go to that location again, for sure.

Nachdem sich inzwischen in Berlin vermehrt grüné Smoothiezubereiter etablieren wie das Goodies, Wildkräuter, Lebepur, Funk You, der Pop-​Up-​Store im LIV, aber auch vegane Restaurants wie das La Mano Verde Pflanzensaft auf der Speisekarte listen, erinnerte ich mich an die Juice Press, welche ich in New York unbedingt ausprobiert musste.
Neben bereits abgefüllten, grünen Säften, welche Namen wie z.B. «Dr. Green Juice», «Mother Earth», «Rocket Fuel» und «Chia Fireball» tragen, kann man hier auch frische Salate, Oatmeals, Sushi und Raw-​Spezialitäten finden.
Für frisch-​zubereitende Säfte und Gerichte kann man anhand des vertrauenswürdigen und sehr präsenten Big-​Brother-​Flats der Thekenkraft über die Schulter schauen.
Mein Saft, bestehend aus Ananas, Apfel, Zitrone, Ingwer und Kohl, schmeckte lecker, frisch und grün, wobei ich auf den hartnäckig-​anhaltenden Kohl-​Geschmack im Nachhinein gerne verzichtet hätte.
Eine absolute Bereicherung, die ich jederzeit wieder ausprobieren möchte!*

Speaking as a:
— beginner level juice-​afficiando
— non vegan/​non raw carnivore
— generally conscious eater
…I’d say Juice Press is a comfortable first step for those who are curious about putting better options in their body, but are turned off by venues that scream «hippie hangout.»
Which is not to say the quality of product is watered down or held to a lesser standard. It’s not. Everything is organic and vegan, nearly everything raw.
Juices are typically $ 9.99. They probably cost this much because their 11-​page super glossy menus are unlike anything I’ve seen in any take-​out establishment.
I just finished the «Drink Your Salad» juice which was tasty, spicy and filling. Menu of juices here:
This place wasn’t set up by your typical organic farmer. Someone with a business plan hired an interior designer to outfit the place (quite modern and sleek, for a juice bar might I add), constructed a «letter system» to easily identify your drinks, and developed a juice cleanse package that I’d be willing to bet works… while keeping you hooked to the teat and spending $$$. Not to mention it appears there are 4 Juice Presses in lower Manhattan, so this isn’t a simple mom and pop shop.
All of which is to say the «Juicing» industry is now moving from niche market to mainstream business. This is a good thing for NYC. Hopefully the trend spreads.
Only thing that seems to be missing is that «Lululemon» experience. You know, when the employees all flash that 1,000 watt genuine smile and appear to be in right in the center of the happiest place in the world: ready and willing to serve you. The service was generally inviting, but lacking a bit of that charisma.

The worst treatment and service ever!
I am not sure why do they called themselves «the best juice cleanse system on the planet». That is quite a high standard that does not make sense due to their poor service.
I arrived to their location at 10:02 pm. Copy pasting from their site «it just so happened that this gem of location warmed our hearts so we had to make it ours. open from 8:00am to midnight, seven days!!»
The door was closed and I asked the manager to get in… she said it was closed. Me, from outside and yelling for them to hear me (because she never open the door to talk to me) I explained hoe in their own website advertise differently.
I showed my phone to prove the mentioned hours and explained I had to take a plain next day so i needed my juice to complete my program… She said, «we changed hours» and give me the back.
I believe that everyone deserve the courtesy to open the door to talk like civilized people. I also believe that every company after acknowledging a mistake, should try fixing the problem or at least apologize. Even in the worst case scenario, have some common sense and treat people/​customers with some courtesy.
I am totally disappointed with this company and I wish there was zero stars to rate them.

Amazing juice place! So many amazing ingredients! The staff are also super helpful. Pricey juices but the high quality ingredients are worth it!

Got a Kale Caesar salad & a pre-​bottled carrot juice here to go. This is strictly a take-​out place.
Salad dressing was poor but ingredients were excellent & it was fresh. The salads are pre-​made and in a cooler as were the juices.
A lot of raw vegan places still think that a good quality raw vegan salad dressing has to taste like a spoonful of nothing. This is not the case. It just takes some real effort beyond the initial requirement for the best ingredients. I think they have the high quality ingredients but not the raw culinary smarts yet.
Juice was great.
A very healthy option on 10^th street. I’ll be back to try other salads for sure. Pricey. My juice & salad cost $ 21.
Staff is knowledgeable, exemplary & friendly.
Update: Tried their Angel Hair Pasta (kelp noodles) salad and it was really excellent. Juice was great again also. I’m returning soon.

Best coconut water ever!!!

Wow — love this place compared to Liquiteria (sorry Liquiteria)! I live within 2 blocks and found this Juice Press to be bright, clean, organized and the staff was amazing! They are all super knowledgeable (today was my first time here and I’ve already been back).
Love that they don’t comprise the integrity of the ingredients and only have available the cold press. Love the options. Love the price point. Love the membership — where you buy in for $ 100 and get 10% off all drinks for the rest of your life! Amazing! Love the customer loyalty concept.
All around great product (all organic) with high standards and integrity you can taste & feel.
Enjoy!

Apparently East Village really loves Juice Press. I think this is the third location to open in the neighbourhood, and literally right down the street about one avenue away from another location on East 10^th Street.
I love the juices and smoothies here. They have pre-​bottled drinks, and they can also blend something together on request. But admittedly what they sell is pricey and I won’t be coming here often. And if raw food is your thing, then Juice Press is definitely a good source of snacks for you.
