The strawberry smoothie is delicious here!! The smoothies were a very nice size and the staff is very nice! When I was in the store, there wasn't a long line so the wait was incredibly short. I definitely recommend coming here for a delicious smoothie or bowl. They make me feel healthy and they fill me up. read more

I'm not into fads. Juice is... kind of a fad. However, Juice Generation became one of my loves in New York. The smoothies and acai bowls are so good and are real, good food. My first couple of trips there, I bought the acai bowls. I had just relocated from Southern California and I was feeling homesick. While, yes, acai bowls are basically just a smoothie in a bowl, these guys are boosted and can give you the energy that you need to get through your day. They're sweet, fruity, tangy, and the toppings set it off to make the bowl even more delicious. A great breakfast super food at your fingertips! I love the almond butter one. The smoothies. The smoothies. The smoothies. I swear, these smoothies are like, on a completely different plane. I've tried a few, more pleasantly surprised than the time before. My personal favorite is the joyful almond. It's like... the best almond smoothie that you'll ever have. I've tried to find comparable smoothies in the city. I have failed. If you want something green - Mr. Greengene is sooo good. If you want something light - the smooth strawberry is excellent. I never felt bad putting out for Juice Gen. It's actually just so delicious and I feel so satisfied every time I go. read more

Great smoothies and açaí bowls. They make perfect summer breakfasts -- fresh, clean and delicious! Very healthy -- made with real foods instead of random syrups. Their Almond Butter Bliss and Mr. Geengenes are my all-time favourites! Definitely the best juice chain in the City! Simple and clean! If only they are slightly cheaper though... read more

Juice Generation - Almond Butter Bliss~! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

Stay away from this location. Everyone knows JG is not cheap but the quality of their juices, Açaí bowls and other items have always been great. I got two Açaí bowls (PB & Almond Butter) it was almost like a sick joke. I think these people forget you can watch them prepare these things. I watched him put almost no peanut butter on mine not less than half a spoonful. I got two small slices of Strawberry an 1/8 of an inch thick. Then for the banana it was almost like paper. While cutting the fruit this small it took about 15 minutes which was enough time for the Açaí to melt. During this time while there were only 2 other people working it backed up the place enough to have at least 8 people packed into the space with 4 people in line. While people walked in and walked out due to the line and amount of people waiting. So for these guys to save probably 50 cents in cost they delayed the entire service of the place. While providing me with two Açaí soup bowls with fruit confetti. I hope 50 cents was worth losing one customer and causing other potential customers to leave. read more

Honestly I'd never pay this much for a smoothie but it's beyond worth it . I grab one at least twice a month . There are many different smoothies and juices to choose from . My favorite preferences are anything with peanut butter . Their vegan almond butter brownie to go along with it always makes my day brighter ! read more

Run of the mill juice shop. The staff we nice even though I was waiting for them to open at 6:55a. The bottled smoothie had a bit of an odd flavor. I had a banana almond butter muffin that was not too sweet and filling for a snack. Good in a pinch but I'd rather make my own smoothie. read more

Ordered a Mr Greengenes, they gave me a ridiculous small drink and warm. Awful service for an $8 juice read more

Juice Generation - Mr Greengenes?? NOT SURE - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

Thank you "SHAREE" the lady at 2345 broadway location she's the best, she's doing his job properly and professionally.

Employees are rude, apathetic and seem very unhappy. Every interaction with them is sour and they have no clue they are in a service industry. I know it's not a high paying job but, still, they should at least be pleasant and a tad appreciative for customers. I finally figured out that this is not the way I want to start my day, so my last visit was today. The bowls and drinks they make are very inconsistent. There are definitely much better options around. read more

small store with lots of healthy junk! smoothies, juices, acai bowls, etc. they have bottles for those on the go and other beverages that you can get if you can wait a bit. service was quick and efficient and i would definitely come back again if i had the time in the area. also, they have just two seats by the window so make sure what you wanna do if you decide to come here. read more

See all

I purchased a 6 pack juice cleanse last night and realized that that the expiration date is today. I called and spoke to the "manager" and asked if I can exchange them. She immediately told me no because that would be wasteful for her and suggested that I drink all 6 juices today. She refused to make this right by me. I am a loyal customer and this is how I'm treated. I asked to speak to her manager and she suggested I contact the owner of the franchises. Instead of making this matter right, she just lost a loyal consumer. There are too many juicing company options for her to treat me like I'm asking for a handout. They are not cheap but I was treated cheaply. read more

I stopped recently and it's my second time at this location....I frequent the W. 4th and their new location downtown often since I love their menu of juices, smoothies and acai bowls but mostly the staff is awesome. They are so friendly....I wish I could say the same about this location. I went in to get my favorite item - the PB Acai Bowl, it has changed up a bit so I asked them for no strawberries and instead of a scoop of PB on top; I asked for a swirl on top. Right off the bat, the girl at the cashier already had a look on her face.....the place was empty so she went to tell the others how to make the bowl and as I wait, I can see them all snickering about how the PB should be done. I waited and now it started to get busy.....all this time, I'm still waiting for my order. As the person finishing up my order, I see he sliced strawberries on top. Then the cashier told him, no strawberries so he went to re-do it. I have already been here for about 10 min, they never once said to me, I'm sorry but we messed up your order or anything...I waited there and watched them act as if they didn't care that I was waiting there nor did the manager apologize for the wait and their mistake. I finally got to the point and said, is something wrong..."you guys all keep talking and I'm right here" The manager acted as if he didn't care....he went to the back and said some things to his staff and they all started laughing. I have never been to a Juice Generation establishment and felt so uncomfortable that the staff is talking about you right in front of you and not once did they address me to say anything. The motto for Juice Generation is to create a friendly environment and this was not portrayed at all here. Before they were able to finish my order, I just walked out and took the loss b/c I never felt so out of place. I'm sure this is not how Mr. Helms thought the staff he hired would act in such a way.....who would want to come in knowing the staff has no care about you as the customer. And from reading other reviews, this is not the first time the staff ignores customers and has no care. It's very disappointing. read more

The custom Berry helpful created by Edwin is an amazing drink. Edwin did an amazing job creating this. The balance of sweet and tart from the beets is superb. This drink should be on the menu. read more

The best juice shop I've ever been to. Wow They allow you to crack open a coconut and they blend it with the coconut meat. Amazing. I've never had that in any other juice shop. Their Joyful Almond is amazing. I love it. Best place ever. So unique, so high quality. God I love these local shops in NYC. They're so amazing. The most superior juice shop ever. Now that I know about this place, I'm going there a couple times per week. read more

Ran around this spot while walking to the train station. I said let me try it. I got a get ur green on juice which consists of spinach, kale,mint, pineapple and green apple. I got a small just in case it didn't taste good. Well after one sip I was upset that I didn't get a larger size. It was delicious . Thank I god there is one near my job. read more

Management needs to do some serious quality control. The staff were messing around and one of them (the one who unfortunately made my acai berry bowl) was definitely stoned or just a little slow. $11 for the worst acai berry bowl I've ever had. I even payed extra to have spinach added, but the non attentive staff even forgot to even put that in. I wish I wasn't in a rush so I could have flat out returned it for a refund but I took it to go. Never going back to this location, just a bad experience overall. read more

This is by far the best Juice Generation I've been to. Not only are the employees incredibly fast, but they're super knowledgeable about all their products and more than happy to help you decide what to get. I've changed my commute just so I can stop here instead of the one closer to my apartment. read more

I have been a big fan of JG for many years. My smoothie of choice: Peanut Butter Split, customized with spinach, complete protein, extra pb, and no ice. I ordered one two days ago. Had to throw it out. It was extremely cold. I ask for no ice because I'm sensitive to cold beverages. I would have asked for a refund, but I was in too much of a hurry. I miss the old team. I don't know what is up with the newer JG staff, but they can't get a smoothie order right. This has been an ongoing issue for me for the past year. Which is why I don't go there on a daily basis, as I once did. At $14+ with my add-ons, I shouldn't be throwing my smoothies away. read more

This place gets five stars because let's face it, it's hard to screw up juice. This is actually one of my favorite juice generation locations because it's roomier and speedy. Take it from me, the best hangover cure is a Vital Shot and a Dr. Bombay hot juice drink. read more

Decent, if overpriced smoothies- they recently raised prices by a dollar, I heard staff tell another customer. While they accept credit cards, there is a 5 dollar minimum- shouldn't be a problem if you get a smoothie, since they run well over that. I'm not a juice person and have no real reason to return here. read more

Best tasting juices I've had and their foods are also very good, particularly the kale salad. Only complaint in the price and wish they had some kind of frequent buyer card. read more

This Juice Generation location is small and hardly ever busy. The employees are polite and everything is clean. I come in here for a Mucho Mango smoothie which costs $9.20. I'll buy one maybe 3 times a week which means I'm spending almost $30 bucks on smoothies. It's just so damn good and refreshing I can't get myself to stop. read more

Admittedly, paying $11 for a smoothie is unheard of and seems like a lot. But look at it this way: would you rather spend $11 at McDonalds or Juice Generation? With that being said, it was well worth the purchase! I tried the PKO (Protein Knockout) and it was amazing. Perfect blend of ingredients. I was even given a little extra that was left in a separate cup! Highly recommend Juice Generation! read more

Great juices and smoothies and finally tried the vegan pop tart which is delicious! The staff is always very friendly as well. So happy it's close by! read more

Their juice is pretty fresh. However I feel that the combination of fruit is not the best and could still be improved.

I love this place! I had the Mr Greengenes (sp?) smoothie -- fantastic!

You are breaking my heart, Juice Gen, having completely changed your food menu and gotten rid of my favorite raw food in NYC! Please at least bring back a few favorites: the cashew ravioli, the taco salad... Why, why, why?? read more

I don't usually write reviews but this place is amazing! My go to spot when I feel a cold coming on. I usually get good service the last couple times I went in I was greeted with a genuine smile from the same guy that I got great service from last time. He has given me consistent genuine service, hes very patient with my hard hearing, and even brings out my order to the lobby where I am waiting, no one else has done that there for me. He now knows my order and my name, thank you Angel at Columbus circle I already love this place but your service puts this place over the top for me. read more

I am so glad that this place opened here...the location is fantastic. I occasionally stop in the mornings on my way to the subway. The fruit and veggies they use are always very fresh. I recommend the mango smoothie. I also love how they incorporate coconut into a lot of their smoothies. Delicious! read more

I am so impressed with there customer service and friendliness. I am now at a point where when they see me walk in, they know exactly what I want and start preparing it. They are always cleaning the equipment and counter tops and always changing their gloves. Nice touch. read more

the addition of Juice Generation to the UWS is amazing! Their selection varies in terms of healthiness and nutritious. For example, you can get a fruity smoothie as a snack or a smoothie with almond butter in it (protein) as a meal. They also sell a lot of different bars/ baked goods-- most of which are vegan/ gluten free. I HIGHLY recommend the Hemp Brownie-- it's to die for!! Hit up this place for the more creative juices/ smoothies, rather than the simple banana/ strawberry ones you can get anywhere/ make yourself. read more
