Super healthy spot, perfect for post workout. Good for quick service and has a nice variety of options. Would have preferred more almond butter and for the acai taste to be stronger but was otherwise good. read more

It should not take 15+ minutes for a smoothie. They need a better system. The woman scooping the stuff into the blender did not know how to make the smoothies. The woman using the blenders had to tell her to add more stuff multiple times. When the smoothies are priced as high as they are they shouldn't have this poor service. read more

The Protein Knockout smoothie from Juice Generation has single handedly been keeping me alive for the past month or so. Water, blueberries, peanut butter, banana, & 55g of vanilla whey protein all combine to make the pinnacle of post workout smoothies. Something about drinking a clean smoothie after workout makes me feel like I am making all of the right decisions in life. I feel like a put together adult when I drink a smoothie after picking up weights and then putting them down. It makes me want to make more health conscious decisions. Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton were up to something when they first theorized inertia. I was a bit skeptical the first time I ordered it, as 55 grams of protein is SO much I forsure thought I was getting played. But I was full for HOURS after, and that's how you know the protein really is in there. What really compelled me to write this review is that when they make too much, they give you a little cup with the extra smoothie. It is such a little thing that goes a long way to building brand loyalty from a consumer. I'm loyal to the Juice Generation soil now. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

This location was clean, spacious, and efficient. I saw a bench and limited outdoor seating but there was plenty of room to stand inside and to wait for your order. The customer service was great! The man started making my order and waited for me to finish downloading my app before ringing me up. I got my order within 10 minutes and thought it tasted fresh! I would come back to try some of their green smoothies. PS. Love that you can buy a fresh coconut from their fridge to drink! read more

Juice Generation - Smooth Strawberry - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

food and shit is fine. just loud as fuck. like wayyyyy too loud i know the employees got nothing to do with the music they play and the volume it's played at but maybe they do. turn that shit down it's annoying read more

Went into the store to order. Couldn't figure out where to see the menu. I was told that I have to go online to see it. Really!?! That sucks, my phone battery was dying, and would prefer not to stare at my phone for everything. Opened up my phone to order, the site is a mess, to many options, to many clicks. Just left. Not worth it read more

i'm sure more complex items on the menu are more worth the price but waited more than 20 minutes and paid $12 for a classic smoothie. idk what their systems are but four or five people who ordered after me got theirs first. you'd be just as well off going to a nearby stand probably. read more

Juice Generation - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

Always my go to before my work out or post work out. Always fast and quick in/out!! Near Union Square!!!

I absolutely love Juice Generation. Everyone is so helpful and they have outdoor seating where I used a hotspot and my portable charger to work remotely. On a hot summer day, this spot is ideal to stop at and grab a smoothie, açaí bowl, or even a juice from their refrigerator. I ordered the protein smoothie with dates added. It was absolutely delicious! The alkalizer "water" helped me get through the heat and long bike ride to Brooklyn! Great customer service as well. I will be back!! read more

If you're anything like me, then it's def juicing OVER coffee mornings! Morning juicing is my fix and this place is great! Located just blocks away from Union Square Park you'll find Juice Generation. Very friendly staff with very quick service especially if you're like me and constantly rushing your way into work. They have a wide variety of smoothies, bowls and freshly made juices. My first drink was the Mango and I'm thinking my next will be the PB! read more

Juice Generation is probably my favorite of all the New York juice chains. Everything I get is pretty tasty - I usually get the AB&J smoothie or the Watermelon Dragon. I also like their Almond Butter Bliss or PB Açaí bowl. My friend loves the Power Plant but it tasted like a tree to me. Agree to disagree. read more

I realize it's hard to find workers in Manhattan for the piddling wages this place no doubt offers, but when I asked a very simple question about their menu "What is plant milk" I was met with a barely understandable word salad before the guy, pulled out the menu and pointed to something unrelated. read more

Juice Generation will ALWAYS get 5 stars from me!!! There is not one chain I have been to where the service wasn't good and also where the staff wasn't accommodating and this place was no different. Every time I come to the city, I always make it a point to visit Juice Generation because there smoothies are super delicious! This particular day I happened to be walking around in the city near the Union Square area and decided to stop by this location for a refreshing drink. Since I've never been here, I must say it was somewhat of a challenge to find this establishment. Additionally, there was a flea market going on (something is always going on in the city lol) and since there was a lot of people walking around, I literally walked pass this place twice before I actually found it. The door is literally on a side street- and I thought based on the address it was on a main Street. The inside is just as clean and organized as any other JG and as I stated earlier the drink was good. I always get the "Peanut Butter Split" (I believe that is the name) but the Kale smoothie is just as good. If your ever in the Union Square area I HIGHLY recommend coming here for a nice healthy drink and healthy snack- trust me when I say you will not regret it! read more

I usually come here for breakfast. Today was very memorable and I will not return to this branch again. There was PLASTIC in my pb acai which is still stuck on my throat by the way even after drinking lots of water. I told the lady who made my bowl that I just ate plastic, she wasn't apologetic but offered to make another bowl. Well, take a look at the 2nd photo. Does that bowl look $12 to you? It was almost half-filled and there was another round of plastic. Not to mention that they added cacao nibs when i specifically told them not to do so. This happened on April 4 around 10:30am-11am. I hope the manager or owner sees this because having employees who don't care means losing a loyal customer. Also this is a HEALTH HAZARD. read more

One of the best, if not the best, juicery in the city. This specific location is my go-to spot for fresh juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls. Pre-pandemic, there was usually a bit of a wait during the work week but that's because it's Manhattan and this place is popular, so that's not something to complain about. Generally, the staff here is pretty good and if they make a mistake on your order, they will gladly fix it. Pro tip: Always ask for a double blend if you like your smoothies EXTRA smooth. Also, you can replace your sweetener of choice with dried fruit like dates. read more

Nice people and my go-to is Green Guardian. Lemme tell you, this baby is packed with so many different plants and tastes so surprisingly filling, refreshing and sweet! My body thanks me every time I get this because I feel so good drinking this and I get so excited every time I look at the ingredients in this drink because it is just so good for the gut microbiome. Just by Astor, a short walk from NYU -- a great midday pick-me-up smoothie. I'm craving Green Guardian already as I'm writing this. read more

Love this spot. Very clean, fast service, pleasant employees. Smoothies are delicious, highly recommend all the cold pressed juices, smoothies, and "juice farmacy" options. Richard is very knowledgeable and provided great customer service. read more

After several nice experiences, I ordered Green Guardian on line. What makes it delicious is generous amount of lime and ginger. Mine had no lime and sparse amount of ginger ... making it completely bland. For the price they charge, this is unacceptable. read more

I went here everyday I was in NYC. Clean, beautiful store with friendly staff. And the juices were amazing.

You get what you pay for here. Quality food and quality juices. Salad was surprisingly good and worth the cost. Staff is nice and friendly here. Long line for the and I see why. Smooth and deliciously tasty. read more

Holy mother of Christ. I know places like this like to pitch themselves as all-organic, locally sourced, we are so healthy blah blah blah. First off - let me start off by mentioning that I buy into all of this hype. I love organic juices. I love cleanses. I'm willing to spend some extra coins to live this type of lifestyle...but the acai bowl that I got from Juice Generation takes it to a whole 'nother level. DO NOT get their acai bowls.. it is a HUGE rip off. I've had a lot of acai bowls in my time, all around Manhattan and SF (another expensive city), and this one is by far the most expensive for what you get. I attached a pic of the bowl alongside a regular coffee cup for reference. They're TINY. And guess what - it's $12... those bananas and strawberries better have then sourced from right down the street.. I inhaled the bowl in like, 2 seconds. Then I thought...maybe this will be the best acai bowl I've ever had in my life? I'll give it a chance. Um, negative. What. a. joke. read more

Juice Generation - TINY acai bowl....not worth the $12 I paid for it. Do not recommend. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

I came in during a busy rush, ordered, and proceeded to drop my entire Protein Knockout on the ground before even putting in a straw. Embarrassed and mortified that the entire store of people waiting for their orders just watched me fumble a standard 20oz plastic cup two seconds after it was handed to me, I went to the counter and told one of the very busy employees what happened. He said it was totally okay and that he was going to clean it up for me no problem. As I walked in shame to the door to escape the crime scene, a second employee told me he was already making another one for me and insisted that I was to leave with a smoothie in hand after I told him that he didn't have to. Everyone was so kind about it even during a super busy part of their day and I can confidently say that this is one of the best tasting smoothies I've ever had. Thank you for you kindness :,-) read more

They locked the doors 15 minutes before closing. I was thinking of making this a nice spot to go after the gym every day, but instead I now go to Whole Foods and make my smoothie at home in my Magic Bullet. Much cheaper and healthier to do it at home. read more

Beyond impressed with the efficiency and great customer service. I've never seen a team move so fast and be attentive to a ton of customers while having a smile and knocking out each order despite the heavy traffic. 5/5 would recommend this location. read more

I really love Juice Generation. The different kinds of acai bowls are fantastic, especially the Hella Good Greens with added bee pollen. The quality of the bowls themselves are definitely 5 stars. Yes, the service here is a bit slow but that is no different than any other juice place in the city. What lowers this location to three stars for me is the lack of seating. If I'm getting an acai bowl rather than a juice or smoothie, I want to be able to sit down and eat it. Other than having to stand (without much room) to eat a bowl, I really like this place. read more

Juice Generation - Hella Good Greens with added bee pollen - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

I've gone here several times during weekday evenings, and the employees could not be slower. They stop preparing stuff to socialize with each other, and it takes a solid 10 minutes to get an açaí bowl when it is not busy. Also, they seem to have one or two employees focused on cleaning up for the night instead of helping customers. I know everyone wants to leave work as soon as possible, but when you've got multiple customers waiting and only two guys making orders (very slowly), you shouldn't be refilling napkins and straws. Other locations take so much less time to get your order. That said, the employees are nice (genuinely)! read more

I've purchased Acai bowls from this store before but was really disappointed how this turned out today! There was no fruit, no granola, and the bowl was melted when I opened it. Doesn't look like the other pictures you see on here at all. For $12 I received a smoothie in a bowl. I won't be returning and will now be giving my business to The Juice Shop instead. read more

I love the smoothies here. This one in particular can get extra crowded but, they work quick and mostly with a smile. That makes it ok. Until you get the bill and realize you just paid over $10 for something you could get elsewhere for less or make it yourself for damn-near free. That said, I have been here a bunch of times and will be back. They are consistent and tasty. What more can you ask for? read more

This is definitely my favorite juice please that's a change in New York. They consistently have tasty juices and they filled you up for a while. I do wish that the prices were about 2 to 3 dollars less but once in a while I will splurge and get super basic juice or smoothie. Either way it's a great place to get a smoothie! They tend to yell your order very loud so there's no way you can miss it. I learned that the hard way when the guy yelled in my ear by accident. read more

Although not the cheapest juice place in New York City I have found this place to be the most consistent. Lots of healthy and very tasty options on the menu from Acai bowls and fresh salads to juices and smoothies. I went for The Professional which is a green juice containing wheat grass, ginger, collard greens. Apple, cucumber, kale, lemon, spinach and Swiss chard. All the flavours worked great together and they came through with the extra ginger which I asked for to round off this mornings high nutrition start to my day. Staff aren't particularly friendly but neither am I on a Monday morning! read more

If the service were better at this location, I would give five stars. Always a great go-to place for me, as I can't do dairy. A little pricey, but always tasty. The poptarts are awesome-- highly recommend! I had their muffins only once and was disappointed as the poptarts and donuts are delicious. My favorite morning smoothie is the PB&Joe. If you like coffee, you've got to try it! When I don't bring my lunch, their avocado salad is a must (although I've gotten this 5 times, and never once has it ever actually had avocado...). The dressing is amazing! If you like this place and plan on returning in the future, be sure and download their free app! It's like Starbucks. You add money onto your app, pay with it, and earn free items. Definitely worth it if you frequent this place. Plus, they have multiple locations! read more

Juice Generation - FRESH INGREDIENTS! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

One of the worst experiences I've had at a juice generation. I went in for a smoothie and the asked the guy how many grams of protein the powder had and he threw his arms up. I asked "can you find out?" and he said no, then put the menu in front of me and said you're welcome to look for it. Asking for the amount of protein in protein powder is not the weirdest request, and the fact that he wanted me to look was even worse. Then, as I started looking he told me the price, I said it looks like it doesn't say can you look on the bottle, to which he said no then read the price again. I paid and this guy didn't even look at me. Then..on top of everything, the smoothie was so poorly blended that I could not get anything through the straw and had to wait to get home, that and I saw the lady put what looked like a quarter cup of peanut butter in it. It tasted like pure peanut butter. I will never return to this juice generation and will likely think twice next time I see one. Juice Press is much better and the people there are always so nice and friendly. read more

Juice is very refreshing on a hot day. Fun watching them cut the fruit and juice it right in front of you. However it's a long wait even with not that many people in front of you. And at 8 dollars a juice (citrus juice) I expected more juice. Good little patio to sit on and well shaded in the afternoon. There is a lot of healthy veggie juices with kale etc. all the blenders are blendtec read more

One of my favorite location. It's near Union sq, there's a citibike a block away from here, they have outdoor seatings. And yes of course I go to juice generation for their PB acai! Yup! I've tried other juice shops but Juice Generation makes it better. read more

Great local chain for healthy juices, shakes, raw foods, and light snacks. Service here is friendly. Quality of the juices/shakes depends on who makes it but keep in mind you can make requests (i.e., blend it longer, etc.). Glad this location popped up. Knocking off two stars for the audio track because on multiple visits, it is at concert level volume. Get you want to inject energy into the place but it's a turn off when bass is pumping through your skull while you're waiting for your order. It makes for an unpleasant environment. This isn't a problem at the Midtown East locations so not sure what's going on here. Just please turn the music down a few notches and you'll be perfect! read more

Wow I can drink this day and night. Convenient to Union Square i always make my stop here before walking to work. This particular store in the juice generation franchising is particularly cool as they have this great large in the middle fruit and veggie display for workers to pick ingredients to make the juice. Nice space that welcomes you. I'm a fan of the mr. greengenes full of veggies that get me energized through the day. Also the pb & joe a peanut butter almond milk with coffee smoothie. All smoothies have the choice of adding in natural sweeteners and i always go with the dates. For a fruit smoothie you can't go wrong with i love watermelon. With watermelon juice as a base and a mix of various fruits its a nice meal in the morning. Good service and quick. I'll be back. read more
