JuiceLand has been my go-to for smoothies ever since they set up shop in DFW. When they did, I would have to go all the way to Sylvan30 to enjoy them, then when whey opened their shop on Lovers, I would trek over there, but now that they've opened up pretty much in my backyard, I don't have to go far to enjoy their vast repertoire of delicious flavors.
Now, there are so many things about JuiceLand that warrant 5 stars, but there are some things that hold this location back from that. While this location is still relatively new, I've been reluctant to post a review because I want to give them time to iron out the kinks. But enough time has elapsed for them to figure it out, so here's my thoughts:
I love the inventive menu. JuiceLand is magnificent at concocting fun and exciting smoothies, juices and bowls. When it's done right- it's magnificent. There have been multiple instances at this location where I've placed to-go orders and my smoothie is sitting in the prep area instead of being in the chiller. This is something where as soon as the order is completed, I would hope it would automatically go in the chiller to prevent the smoothie or bowl from melting, thus degrading the quality.
There are occasions where the team seems overrun with orders. Both online and in person. While at times it seems the store is adequately staffed, other times, it's like the team is in a non-stop pressure cooker to complete orders. I feel bad for them.
I also had a not so great experience when I ordered an açaí bowl and asked them to not put chocolate chips on it. I got it home, and to my disappointment, it had chocolate chips in it.
Another call out I have- it's not specific to this location, but JuiceLand in general, is the fruit to açaí ratio in their bowls. I think there are too many large chopped up bananas taking up space in the bowl. The last time I ordered an açaí bowl from here, it was like there was barely any acai, and mostly chunks of fruit. Rather disappointing.
Now, let's talk more about what's great- the team here is really nice. No bad attitudes here! Also, the grab and go selections are phenomenal! Try the Frijole Roller- IT'S SO GOOD!!!
Also, the employees are friendly here. They have always been nice even under pressure to work through lots of people waiting. Once I gave direct feedback when my to go order was just sitting on the counter instead of the cooler, and the employee was very receptive, the next time I placed a to go order, he had placed my items in the cooler- way to improve!
Overall. JuiceLand is a healthy option for smoothies, juices and grab and go. While there may be some occasional misses, they are always striving for better at this location. read more
