Specialising in a range of smoothies and juices, they've fully taken on the trend for blending. It's small inside with an open 'kitchen' and menus on the walls. Take your time choosing! They really don't mind if you're indecisive (like me) and will happily change anything for you. The menu is split into different sections with similar bases i.e. earth juices predominantly feature ingredients like carrot. I went for a juice with strawberry, blueberry, apple and orange. It was very refreshing and hit the spot, though I wasn't a fan of the pulp that was prominent about halfway through drinking. Service is fully with a smile and our juices were prepared in a flash. They have a very handy lid creator which you then pop your straw through, so no potential spills - which is especially good if you're in the car. If you're in the area and fancy a juice boost, I'd recommend heading to The Juicery.

I have to try very hard to not come too often to Funky Shake Bar. It's totally amazing! Fortunately…read moreit's open seven days a week, so I won't ever be cut short if I need a shake. You can pick whatever combination of chocolate bars, sweets, biscuits, cakes and cereals, handmade fudge, jelly beans in your shake. Whipped cream for 40p if all this isn't enough. If you would rather have a traditional thick shake then this is also catered for - almond, blackcurrant, passion fruit, pineapple, peach and many more. Dairy free (organic soya milk and soya ice cream) is also available - they have thought of everything, which I am really pleased about. Alternatives are available if you don't want a shake, smoothies, solo juices and fusion juices are popular. Not bad prices, but if they were dirt cheap I would question the quality and also would be at least a stone heavier. So it keeps me from having too many of them.

Funky Shake bar is essentially like any other bar but you replace the alcohol with milkshakes and…read moresmoothies and other such treats. This place is a bit of fun within the very refined surroundings it is situated in and is a great place to stop for a drink. The produce is actually very nice indeed and their smoothies in particular are very impressive. The place feels relaxed and a lot of fun which is exactly as it should be. The staff are very friendly and they are great at helping you choose if you are unsure and unlike some places they do not try to direct you towards the most expensive product. I really enjoyed my trip to this establishment and came away with a big smile on my face and in my eye that means that they've got the job done. If you have children then take them for the shakes, but if you are a big kid like me then you should check it out as well.

I called in Boost, to grab a free smoothie to celebrate the birth of the royal baby, as the company…read moreoffered 25 free Strawberry drinks to celebrate the birth. I would never come here through my own choice, yes their drinks are nice but I'd never pay nearly £5 for a smoothie. They do have a loyalty scheme where you get a free drink for every 9 you buy and on your birthday, but this costs 20p for one card and for every replacement and you can't get a key fob. The portion was quite nice for free and I enjoyed my drink, you could taste the apple juice and some fresh ingredients. The staff seemed okay, they didn't offer any conversation as it was empty and they made my smoothie, not even asking if I was okay, a little disappointing. The staff seemed nice and helpful on the phone, when I called. My drinks were nice but the pricing is awful and the customer service from head office needs improving. The price alone and ridiculous loyalty scheme is enough to drop a few stars of the rating, the quality saves it a little but because of the high price and no seating area, a 2 star rating is the highest I can give but it would easily get 4 if the pricing was so much more customer friendly and had seating, I am surprised to see a younger audience be a very popular lover of these drinks when they are so expensive, it is like only the rich, health fanatics and staff can afford them (and birthday boys and girls!)

Shaake has been around for a couple of years or so, but I only tried it last week (and had three in…read more24 hours, if you need a short opinion!). They have a plethora of milkshakes and smoothies on offer, and do hot drinks - chocolate (in milk, dark and white), tea, coffee - and juice too. Their drinks are organised into different categories, too - so you can choose something extra-healthy or extra-indulgent as you wish. As a vegan, I was initially worried - everything has milk or yoghurt in it! However, this isn't a problem - all the smoothies can have dairy-free yoghurt put in, or if you like me prefer none, they can just omit it. The milkshakes depend on the ingredients - Toblerone, for instance, won't be vegan, but there are cakes and sweets that might be. If in doubt, check! Each drink is available in Regular, Large and Mega ('Shaakezilla'!). They can add toppings (marshmallows, nuts, mini Oreos, cream) or 'boosts' (spirulina, wheatgrass, whey protein), and heat your drink on request. Toppings cost 30p, but are free with a large drink; I'm not sure how much boosts cost. They do a loyalty card, too - collect seven stamps (one for each drink) and you get a free regular drink. There's also deals like Love Yourself Monday (a free wheatgrass shot in a large drink) and 2-4-1 Tuesday (buy one large drink and get the same one as a free regular drink). I've so far tried Berry Skinny (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberry juice), Super Antioxidant (acai, acerola, cranberries, blueberries, goji berries, pressed apple juice, green tea extract, alpha lipoic acid) and Lemon Squeezy (lemon, orange, papaya). They're all really refreshing, served ice-cold and leave you feeling really energised. They cost £2.30 or so for a regular. Shaake are a really fun brand, and their drinks are excellent. Here comes the brainfreeze addiction...
