I honestly don't know what came over me, but I was at work the other day and was just really…read morecraving a smoothie. I'm not really a juice or smoothie person, but I was craving a thirst and that really felt like it would hit the spot (or at least something). There are a couple of smoothie places in WP so I decided to whip out Yelp to see which was the closest. Freckle's Juice was close by so I decided to order from them. First off, I had no idea that this was a Bronx-based business - that made me extra excited to try one of their selections. Browsing the menu, they have a nice variety of smoothies and juices and also guide you as to the benefits of some (immune boost, protein, etc). I was browsing and their Berry Pink stood out. This was one of their monthly specials and had a mix of strawberry, peach, orange, chia seeds, almonds, and coconut water. The smoothie was really good; the flavors worked well together and was still nice and cold even though I ordered delivery. Overall I was really impressed with Freckle's. While I seldom go for a smoothie, it's nice to know that this Bronx-born businesses has expanded to White Plains. I would definitely return for another beverage and to explore more of their menu.

My daughter took advantage of Freckles' 2-day Groupon deal and used it as her New Year's detox liquid boost. Turns out, her 6 Green Juices+6 Alkaline Smoothies were everything she wanted. Easily head to this City Center location in downtown White Plains on Level 3 to get your take-away pressed juices, smoothies or shots. The kid easily picked up her 12-pack with a complimentary reusable bag at that. I'd ask if this location also serves savory items like soups and bites similar to their Bronx location. There was a 'pick-up-by' hiccup with my daughter's order- but folks here managed to fixed that ASAP. There was some confusion from my daughter's part where she didn't select the correct location- but again, folks here prepped a brand new 12-pressed juice and smoothie pack to pick up New Year's Eve with no hassle. Thank you! I like this brand and particularly dig that a fly-by-night fluke doesn't own this company making it seem as if they're cut out for running a juice spot.

While tea seems to be their specialty, their coffee--both hot and cold brew--is excellent. They have some very good pastries as well, and a solid croissant. While I've mostly been taking things to go, they have a decent interior--it is kind of crammed into the lobby of an office building, but they do their best with what is a standard suburban Main Street setting, and also have ample outdoor seating--again, you are near Main, but set off enough to not be super loud. They serve wine as well and stay open relatively late--seems like a great place to hang with a drink and nosh. I would say the larger bites are less successful--sandwiches are incredibly chintzy, mostly bread or roll, with very little meat inside, at least for the chicken salad. But everything else has been just lovely. Certainly vastly preferable to the endless parade of Starbucks and Dunkin' that seem to be the only other options nearby.

Their other store is the Mamaroneck Ave Food Market where you can get tacos, sandwiches, and other hot food.

I'm sure you've never heard of him because you're too young, but we worked for JAQUES MAXIMUM. A little Napoleon that could get the same results even better results without screaming constantly! Nothing like being the only woman in the kitchen and having a bunch of Frenchman, screaming obscene words at you in both English and French. Why I tolerated that I still don't know I really wanted to learn. I was on the line with Alfred Portale, and was his commis. He opened his extremely successful restaurant after Jacque decided he had had enough and went back to France. He came every two weeks straight from the airport and started screaming before he even saw anyone down the long hallway. I'm truly not kidding. Alfred warned me don't look the CHEF in the eye. I think that's the first thing he ever said to me. Then the Anita Hill hearings happens and the backlash was incredible. They would sexually harass me every day and then ask me was I going to sue them? I'm not a violent person, but I felt like taking a kitchen knife and never mind. This was my first job in a good Kitchen and the manager had cocaine running out of his nose when he was telling me that I was only worth three dollars an hour. I didn't go to some fantasy school. I went to the school of hard knocks. My husband and I spoke to Mark a very nice guy, at least to us. Most people don't want to get any feedback and that's a big mistake. We gave him. Our feedback thanked him and left it at that he thanked us as well. We really were restaurant consultants. It's so easy to see what's wrong in the kitchen and what's dangerous in the kitchen at first glance and then when you dig deeper, oh my gosh, it's a wonder we even eat out anymore. If people saw what went on behind the scenes, they would never ever eat out, but we know ROOT 2 RISE is not we repeat not like that. You also sell some great crackers. We can't find anywhere else. We kept the box it is called BETTER BUCKWHEAT. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND NOT TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. I think someone might be making mistake when stalking the shelves for crackers and other snacks. Two wonderful ladies were sitting right in front of where the snacks are and when they started looking, we found a few items that are not vegan at all. We don't know how to send this privately, otherwise we would. Phone is terribly compromised. We love your Restaurant and wanted to succeed more than you can believe. We both have been vegan since 1996. We were both vegetarians at about age 11. We really appreciate your great work. Sorry we are terrible at technology and also the phone. She ain't so great.
