Was craving a smoothie after having surgery. My husband ordered the OPAL and it tasted so strongly of ginger which overpowered all the other fruits in this smoothie. It was too spicy for me to drink. If they are using juiced ginger, maybe measuring it out would be a start. Disappointing to say the least when you're craving something fresh. Please do not advertise you are pressing everything fresh when you're using cold press juice to make your smoothies. I called and the person who answered was nice about it and said that the next time we come in we get a free smoothie. I feel like the west side mothers actually gets the orders right. Majorly bummed! read more

It's gotten worse again. It's unbelievable to hear about (and experience) how mean spirited and/or flippant the mother's leadership team tends to be. From serving spoiled foods to repeatedly getting orders wrong, it's hard to believe they're still in business. read more

This is an amazing place to eat!! I had a great time!! The food is delicious. I got a little bear smoothie and a 'bohemian wrapsody' wrap!! They were both delicious and i recommend! I sat outside and the patio is very nice. The people who helped us were friendly and accommodating. I 100% recommend!! read more

We were excited as our friend recommended this place and raved about it. Ordered acai bowl - they ran out. Ordered bacon - they were out. Ended up ordering something I didn't really want but we were already there and it was below average. The workers look apathetic and service was subpar. Will not be going back nor recommending! read more

Ordered a smoothie and paid extra to add beets. When I got my smoothie it had no beets (as those who have seen beets before, they dye everything bright red or brown so you can definitely tell). I asked the woman who made it if it had beets and she said yes and turned away. So I went back to the counter and asked that they either add the beets or refund the extra I paid for the beets. She took my smoothie (that I had been drinking out of--health code violation) and added beet juice and handed it back to me. I told her that since it was a smoothie i didn't want juice. At that point the other woman who made it said that they used juice in their smoothies to make it easier. Mother's Eastside Kitchen sells juice AND smoothies. If I had wanted my drink as juice, I would have ordered juice. I understand making mistakes but when you do, fix them. Don't charge the customer for something you didn't give them and don't give them a different item and then act baffled when they request the item they ordered. read more

The food is good but the woman taking orders was not very friendly. She acted like she was put out by having to take my order. A place named Mother's should be a little warmer. read more

I've had nothing but delicious and fresh meals from here! I love their juices, the jumpstart is my favorite. I also highly recommend the bohemian wrapsody. It had the perfect amount of savory, freshness, and crunch. Only down side is it is a bit pricey, but I feel it's worth it. read more

I've eaten at Mother's Cafe many many times and they have excellent food and excellent service however, I was super disappointed when I stopped by today and had to watch the food prep/expo/clown clearly make it a point to deliver everyone's food order with NO mask on. I commented to him, "really, no mask?", his comment "I like to breathe". If he didn't want to wear a mask then why not just stay in the back and have the front of the house server (who was wearing a mask) deliver the food? I mean C'mon man you are serving food in a pandemic! Are you gonna not wear pants tomorrow because you want your farts to breathe? I hope Mother's will take action on this because I want to come back but won't if I have to watch homie the mouth breather delivering everyone's food. read more

Mother's Eastside Kitchen - Notice: face mask required. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Bagel and egg were burnt. Cream cheese on bagel was nonexistent. Tomato slices had the hard core not removed. Some of the cashiers have bad attitudes and stare at their phones instead of helping customers. Westside location is way better all the way around. read more

Our experience this week at this newly opened Eastside Mother's Juice Cafe was disappointing. We were expecting more in food quality and service focus from the Mother's folks. This is not their first rodeo of food service given the Westside Bend (Galveston St.) Mother's Juice Cafe has been in business for years.. The BOTTOM LINE question is will we go back to this Eastside Mother's Cafe? The answer is "No". Our experience would likely be a two star review and not three but for the fact Mother's is a local biz and one of the employees was outstanding. So, a 2.5 on a scale of five gets rounded up to three But for us, for the price paid (roughly $8 each for sandwich and salad) there is, in our experience, much better prepared food of equally good quality with much more pleasant ambiance at East Village down the road about a mile. http://www.yelp.com/biz/east-village-the-bend It is only fair to the business that a critical review be backed up with the experience that led to the conclusion. As follows. Let's start with the GOOD THINGS because there are some. 1) SPECIAL MENTION EMPLOYEE: Five GOLD stars for whomever was the young guy wiping off tables, keeping things cleaned up behind the counter, updating the daily specials board and wishing customers "have a good day" on their way out. If I owned a biz, this is the kind of initiative I'd look for in an employee. And it is initiative that might be modeled by the other staff. (See number one on the Disappointing Things below.) 2) MENU is creative with a plethora of healthy food options and starting with quality ingredients.. 3) AMBIANCE: If the space Mother's inherited from the defunct mom n pop sandwich shop (TuckMo) that was first in this place is not stellar for ambiance, at least it doesn't have sardine can seating - a very good thing to have space to walk about and increasingly rare in Bend. 4) ACCESSIBILITY:: Located in the Borden Corner center (across from Longboard Louie's) the cafe is level in from parking through the door and throughout and also has accessible loo(s) for him and her. Now the DISAPPOINTING THINGS. 1) CORDIAL BUT NOT HELPFUL COUNTER STAFF: Counter folk were cordial enough when orders were placed, if not particularly welcoming to new customers who walked in and looked around trying to figure out the lay of the land. You know:, "Welcome to Mother's Café. Our menus are here. Let us know what questions we can answer. We'll take your order at the counter.". At least two customers walked in looking confused and walked out while we were there for lack of this assistance while the counter staff chatted with each other. 2) FOOD NOT GREAT FOR KITCHEN EXECUTION: We ordered two things that sounded promising: a black bean falafel sandwich with green tomato tzatziki that was to come in a pita and a strawberry spinach salad with caramelized onion dressing, pepitas and feta. The flavors of all the ingredients in the BB falafel sando were good BUT the execution was amazingly amateur for a biz with Mother's experience. As example, instead of being arranged inside the pocket of the pita, the falafel sandwich ingredients came slapped together - almost literally it seems - between two separate whole pita breads making it awkward to eat and with too much bread in the mix. The spinach in the salad had seen better days and although the flavors were good for the dressing, a big glop of cold caramelized onions at the bottom of the salad bowl was not. 3) SLOW SERVICE: In spite of the fact there were few customers at about high noon on a weekday, food was very slow to come out of the kitchen. 4) AMBIANCE: The sound system was turned up high volume to a local radio station playing pounding music with poor quality, scratchy, transmission. Sound matters to ambiance...something more mellow, with the quality of the transmission fixed at the right volume would help here. In particular given the ultra high ceilings and hard surfaces make sound bounce around. . 5) ALREADY LIMITED SEATING TAKEN UP BY MOTHER'S OFFICE EQUIPMENT: Although great to not have sardine can layout, there is only seating for about 24 at about six different tables. And two of those tables were taken up by what seemed to be the Mother's office equipment of laptop, photo copiers and so on. Adds to an overall sense of disarray in the place that is not particularly welcoming We love supporting locally owned businesses and go out of our way to do that. But they need to meet their customers half way by providing a reason for the support. There are many good lunchtime, casual options in Bend. The Mother's folks have too much food service experience to deliver this lackluster customer experience. read more

Avocado toast was the worst. It had avocado, chick peas, and green goddess dressing. Nothing else. Save the cash. Staff is friendly. Tandoori chips weren't bad. But not great. read more

Ordered food for take out for me and my wife while we were in the hospital. I ordered the Bohemian Wrapsody and my wife ordered another sandwich and smoothie. First off they gave us absolutely zero utensils, no straw for the smoothie, no forks for the salads, or a single napkin. Fine. After some trouble finding some we finally went to dig in and my wrap had mushrooms in it, despite there not being any mention of mushrooms in the description. Really annoying because I really don't care for mushrooms or their taste and I'm sorry but I'm not eating that. $14 down the drain. I wouldn't be so upset about my wrap if at least the packaged to go properly. Won't be coming back. read more

I am in agreement with most of the low reviews on yelp. The options are OK and healthy but the wait times are insane along with the highest prices in town. I have also waked out a few times. Do yourself a favor, if you're just looking for a healthy smoothie, try market of choice. I never do a bad review without contacting the business first. In this case I messaged them twice and was ignored. They really don't care and must make up for the lack of business with pricing margin. $$$$$$$$ read more

First time at Mother's and had a good experience. Ordered two smoothies, Roma Beauty and Tropical Fuji both with a shot of 25 mg of CBD. The smoothies have a great fruity taste and no added sugar, unlike other juice cafes. The staff was pleasant and welcoming, the service was quick and the wait was minimal at 12:30 PM. The bathrooms could have used a little attention. The paper towels were opposite the sink so there was a trail of water dribbles on the floor. Overall, it as good. Will have to make it back to try the food offerings as they looked and smelled delicious. read more

I ordered a vegetable scramble and potatoes, I'm sorry to say I was very disappointed. First of all the appearance of the food was not very appetizing, unfortunately the flavors were lacking a bit too and it seemed rather greasy. I try to write very positive reviews, however, I have to be honest, this was a disappointment and all for $11! The servers were somewhat courteous but nothing exceptional or out of the ordinary. I'm not sure if I'll return... Update on my review: Jessica just called me and was extremely apologetic and said they credited back my $11 and have a free drink waiting for me anytime! WOW! That is exceptional customer service and I will most definitely give them a second chance! I am also giving 4 stars because of Jessica! read more

This is the third time I've been to mothers this time I ordered ahead, so I wouldn't have to wait a super long time because the service is so slow there. I can't believe that it takes 25 minutes to make smoothies. They were not very busy. I checked in and the girl said it's gonna be a while so I sat down at the table. Finally after 25 minutes I went up and said hey, is this order number ready they asked for my name I gave it to them and she's like yeah it's been done. It's in the fridge you have to check in with us. I'm like I did to the lady over there cutting the apples and she just shrugged her shoulders. I wish I didn't tip them 20%. I could've went to the store at Whole Foods made my own smoothie. It's much quicker and cheaper next time that's what I'm gonna do. read more

just got such delicious soup and hot juice. I also love their breads, yum! The lemon and ginger are my fave but they are all good. The blond manager at the east side location is also super nice. great spot with delicious food! read more

Even with the ingredients being high quality, the following two things pushes the rating down to two stars for me: 1) insanely slow wait time to receive your smoothies and food items.. we live nearby and have ordered breakfast and lunch items with smoothies 5 times or so.. we always wait between 20-40 minutes to receive all items. Usually the smoothies come up first and the breakfast and lunch items come much later. 2) prices are very high.. a few smoothies and breakfast sandwiches and you're out at least $40 read more

WTF Mothers.. seriously RAW BACON in my salad?! Even if I cook it the lettuce is now infested with bacteria. I'm so low on funds and have no car right now. I really needed a healthy strong breakfast for my day ahead. I am beyond grossed out. This is the 3rd time I've ordered them in the past 6 weeks and every time something either is forgotten, comes wrong, they're out of ingredients, etc , and that's the stuff I can handle. RAW BACON IS UNACCEPTABLE. I am so so grossed out. Maybe they get away with this BS bc it's the only juice delivery. So sad Bend and mother's so SAD read more

It's such a bummer to drive out here to get a juice, to find out that they closed down the juicer 15min before the store closes (which they close early already now). They also had no juices available to buy. They were unwilling to simply make me a couple juices and I would have bought some food as well. I am surprised they want to turn away business. I really like this place but this happens quite often and is not good customer service. read more

Veggie blend, yum! I really like the cleanliness of the place and the openness of the dining area with the floor to ceiling windows. Their bagels are nice and soft and warm which makes them easy to eat and load up with your choice of 4 delicious fillings. The granola with greek yogurt, honey and fruit is one of the better values on the breakfast menu. The lunch sandos are good as well featuring Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses. There are also several kinds of kombucha on tap. Not the cheapest meal in town, but perhaps the healthiest and cleanest! read more

I'm in a funk. This funk is due to the fact that I am up here in Oregon, taking care of an 8 month old, with no friends or family to help, and I totally went to Old Navys today and found some super cute jeans that I cannot fit because I haven't lost the damn baby weight yet, and I feel the way I look . Which is like POOP. So to get out of this funking funk, I've decided that I've got to spend a little more me time on me, and so far that consists of eating better and taking care of myself. That's where Mother's Juice comes in. Straight up, I'll probably never try any of their sandwiches, breakfasts or salads. But, I WILL try the SHIT out of all their juices, smoothies, and power blends. I enjoy their juices, I really love the vegetable blends and the combo or the fact that I can create my own blends (apples, beets, and ginger anyone?). I haven't tried their smoothies yet but I can't wait. I've got my eyes on the Fat buster and the Peanut butter smoothies. The 24 oz costs about $6.25 and so far the staff has been really nice and the place is always clean. UPDATE**: The peanut butter smoothie is delicious for those who love peanut butter. Also tried the Fatbuster and the Tropical one. The latter came out chalky. BD loves the Gala smoothie. Juices still rock. read more

Really cute place. The staff was very friendly. The food and coffee tasted great. Will definitely be going back. Thanks for having vegan options! read more

Good food and great staff...but continuously seems to be understaffed and the turn around time for food and drink is incredibly slow. Hoping to return and receive a quicker turn around time. 15 plus minutes for a smoothie makes me question if it was really that good, especially when there were three customers in the store. read more

I come to Bend for work and this place is awesome! The staff is friendly and VERY helpful. I've had the bagels which are yummy and the smoothies, again very delicious. Every time I go in they make me want to go back :) Next time I'll try the soup or a salad! read more

We love coming here for lunch or breakfast; sandwiches are always fresh and made with care, salads are substantial, and the food is portioned appropriately. Smoothies are deliciously fruity and I really like the Dirty Hippie, which is a Chai latte with hemp milk and espresso. Service is friendly and efficient! The only bummer is the price. It can get a bit expensive for two with an entree and drink, but we love that everything is organic, so I guess you get what you pay for. They do have a punch card for drinks, but you have to buy like 12 to get one free (at $5.50-$6.75 a piece), and there's no punch card for food. read more

I really love Mother's and have visited many many times the last two years. I have been in Bend for ten years and was stoked they opened an Eastside location. That said, I am beyond shocked to find the staff are not wearing masks anymore. I walked in yesterday and immediately left after seeing not only the guy serving food, but the others maskless. Such a bummer. I guess I'll try Greenleaf back on the Westside. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am a huge fan of Earl Grey tea in the morning, and they have one of the best. I love their breakfast sandwiches. They come on bagels, and they even have GLUTEN FREE! I ate here for breakfast 4 days in a row while I was doing training for a new job. It was quiet, fast, and tasted great every time. The staff is super friendly, and have never messed up my order. I have also eaten lunch here before, and I can honestly say it compares to and at times exceeds Panera Bread. As a native Californian, born and raised (almost 19 years), my Panera is a way of life. We don't have one in Bend, but I am proud to announce, that I have found my "Panera" if you will. I actually like Mother's better! Their bread tastes great, their meats taste like real meat, not some kind of subway deli lunch meat, and their smoothies are super good to! They have a lot of items on their menu, and I can't wait to try them all! Will always be a customer, see you soon! read more

Ordered the large Juiced to Order. I chose: carrot, apple, celery, cukes, spinach, ginger, kale, parsley, lemon, and orange. It was fantastic! The price was also just as fantastic! No complaints here! read more

Always so welcoming when I come in! The food is fresh and juices are amazing! Even my one year old loves their smoothies!

Heart Healer and the Cure are both my faves. When your daughter brings you one of these warm with a dash of cayenne when your not feeling well you know she loves you. When you have to go out and get it on your own get a couple and keep them in the fridge until your ready for your next round they are so satisfying and feel good going down. read more

Just ordered a fruit açaí bowl... the girl behind the counter didn't wash her hands, didn't put gloves on and proceeded to cut my fruit and build my bowl with her bare hands while simultaneously eating the raw fruit and touching her mouth. At least she got her fruit in, I got to toss mine I'm the garbage and waste $10.00. read more

Half the time I go here I end up walking out... always understaffed and super slow, I know it's made to order but I'm talking like one person doing orders & smoothies. At $7 -10 a smoothie or juice can afford another employee. I asked about the juice for sale at $5 and was told it was those on the counter. I felt them and the ice must have melted an hour ago because it was warm and so were the juice, I plainly mentioned this, I mean damn this is unpasteurized juice sitting in warm water that they are selling. Thought I was being kind to point this out. I mean I grew up in Eugene where places like genesis juice did this 30 years before mother's juice type places even thought to exist, and better I might add. Another waste of time, last time I visit this location, it's the worst of all 3. West side location is for normal people and the downtown one is kinda tourist/buiseness casual oriented. read more

Never again will I come to this location. The customer service is absolutely horrible. I ordered a salad. Telling them I had allergies, naming them asking for my order without it......End up reviving my food and can't even eat it because it's covered in things I cannot consume. Otherwise I'd be in the emergency room if I did. Highly recommend the one downtown... at least people listen to me there. This isn't the second time I've had problems with this location. But with the service it kind of has me not even wanting to go to mothers anymore. It's a good company but things need to be consistent regardless of a second location being opened up. When things aren't you really lose business and a good reputation. read more
