Fresh Squeezed Juice Bar is in Phipps Plaza, near Lego Land & AMC. Destiny and the Mr. also have locations in East Cobb & Midtown, this one opened in Feb. Its minority owned, family owned and ALL organic! Take that Kale Me Crazy!
CURB APPEAL
Small, cute & trendy! There are a few stools inside, tables are across from the entrance. An adorable little girl held a tray of "After Workout" smoothie samples, a sweet, rejuvenating blend of kiwi, apple & pineapple! I couldn't wait to try a juice!
MENU
SMOOTHIES - 16 oz. ($8.50), 24 oz. ($12.00)
16 oz. was enough for me! They're mostly sweet with fruits like mango (juice/puree), banana, strawberry, pineapple, apple and kiwi. Bases - almond milk, pomegranate, coconut h20 & mango. Add-ins include staples such as peanut butter, cashews, oats & cocoa and unique items like pea protein & matcha! Veggies - kale, carrot, ginger, turmeric & spinach. With 13 choices there's something for everyone!
ACAI BOWLS - $12
Very Berry August bowl (acai sorbet) and Dragon Ales Bowl (pitaya sorbet). Toppings - banana, strawberry, granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds & agave!
JUICES $10 - 16 oz.
Ironically juices aren't "Fresh Squeezed" (like UpDog). They're prepped & refrigerated when Destiny arrives. 13 delightful blends include Flu Who (lemon, acv, pineapple, cayenne), Don't Beet Around (beets, cucumber, kale, orange) & Smooth Operator (mango, passion fruit, lemons, agave)!
SHOTS - $6
Medicinal, natural healers. Ex. Gotta Go (aloe + apple) for constipation, Fight Night (ginger + chlorophyll) for immunity and Flu Shot (lime, ginger, oil of oregano [I'm a FAN] + turmeric)! They also have Ginger, Wheatgrass and a Royal Flush (papaya seeds + honey + aloe) for parasite removal.
SERVICE
Curt and rushed. The owner didn't seem to get that reviews are free publicity. Hello! I was told the available juices were "in the cooler." There were only two and NEITHER was on the menu. When I asked, "What are they?" I was told to read the labels...
Skinny Pants (activated charcoal, lemon + maple syrup) "removes toxins and hangovers". (It was 2 pm). Blue Algae Lemonade had no label but it's spirulina? Alkaline h20 + lemon + agave for "energy and endurance." I consider a "Juice" to have no added sweeteners. Disappointing...
WHY 4 STARS?
If there are 13 juices on the menu, I expect to be able to order at least ONE. I'd appreciate friendlier service & customized smoothies if given the choice (shoutout to Moorish Medicine)! Still, the blends are creative and nutritious, and Arden's Garden also sells bottled (inorganic) juice. Although their name isn't "Fresh Squeezed.."
VERDICT
My Spinach Twister SMOOTHIE (with orange, ginger, mango) was refreshing, organic and fairly priced, especially for the area. I recommend! read more
