Cuppa Juice Cold Pressed Juicery

Walked into Cuppa Juice knowing one thing: I wanted a smoothie. Looking at their menu, I was…read morepleased at the quantity and blend of flavors, fruits, & juices for smoothies, but my indecision got the best of me and I asked one of the employees for a recommendation. She asked what kind of smoothie I am feeling, and recommended this juice and smoothie blend - WOW. It was delicious. And I am an absolute smoothie LOVERRR. SO good. Would come again. Sad I forgot the name of the smoothie but - 10/10. Gave 4 stars bc $13 for a 16oz smoothie seems a liiiiitle wild.

I had a very disappointing and frightening experience. My son has a severe cashew allergy, and…read morebefore ordering I specifically asked if the waffle contained cashews. The employee repeatedly assured me that it did not. I even read the ingredient information from the board to her, but she continued to insist there were no cashews. After eating the waffle, my son had a serious allergic reaction and began having difficulty breathing. We had to take him to the emergency room for treatment. Food allergies are a serious matter, and staff should be properly trained to provide accurate ingredient information. This situation could have had much more severe consequences. I hope management takes this issue seriously and improves allergy awareness and customer service training.

Beware of this location!!! The girls here do not care about service or your order. Neither does…read moremanagement. I come on my lunch break from work. I place an online order so I can easily come grab it so I have time to actually sit and eat, but every time, something is wrong and I'm left without what I want. The first time I came, I placed my order 10 minutes before (I know it takes 15 minutes) and they told me they didn't have avocado for the protein waffle so would only make the smoothie bowl. I asked for a refund and they said oh managers aren't here for a few days so I can't do anything until they are here. (I never got the refund). Whatever, I asked her if it would be a couple minutes or if I had time to go grab something and she made a rude snarky remark that it would be a while longer. By the time I came back about 5 minutes later, my order was sitting in condensation pretty much melted. She refused to look at me and was overall so extremely rude. This time that I came today, I asked about my order and they couldn't find it. I then realized it got sent to the wrong location. That's totally fine and not their fault at all, so I took the monetary loss and re made my order exactly as it was listed on my receipt. It was frustrating I had to wait since I only had so long, but again not their fault. However, when I finally get my order 15 minutes later, it isn't the bowl I ordered!!!! When I ask her what it was she went "um you ordered this one" and I went no I read to you what I wanted and then showed her my phone. She didn't have a response and noticeably did not care. I went alright well just keep this then because I can't eat it. So then I lose out on 2x the money for one day because they don't care enough to pay attention. When I turn around, the workers are all huddled around laughing at me. So I don't get the order I wanted and then I get laughed at?? Also, not to be that person, but their work apparel is extremely inappropriate. Both time some of the girls are just wearing bottoms that genuinely look like swimsuit shorts and that's pretty ridiculous too. They are rude, don't care that you are spending money to eat there, and do not care about your time. Judgmental bullies that truly just give off the exact definition of "mean girls" I love nekter, but will never spend my money here again. Management never followed up when I first reached out about my refund, and I doubt they will know. Disgusting behavior and practices all around.

Service/Wait Time/Aesthetic Very friendly employee took my order and came out very fast. Has a few tables inside to sit if interested. Food There wasn't really a menu, just photos on the wall. I picked what I thought looked good, the Happy Night Energy (Banana, Sesame, Milk, Walnut, Almond). There are no prices on the wall so I was a little shocked to see it was $11 for a Medium. For that price, I could have gone to Jimbo's and gotten an organic smoothie. I thought the smoothie tasted fine, it was what was advertised. If you know what smoothie you want and you can save some for later, $12 for 32 oz is a good price, but I would rather go to Vallarta's or Jimbo's for a fresh pressed juice or smoothie.

I love how the smoothies are pictured.
