    The absolute perfect treat after a long conference day. Tucked inside the Riverside Food Lab, this is a can't miss spot! I got the açaí bowl with strawberry, banana, and peanut butter. Staff was really helpful and nice; my order was made promptly and it was delicious! I hope everyone treats themselves to one of these

    The (pretty hard to read) smoothie Menu

    Wish I could comment on the smoothie... but I waited at the register for about 8 minutes without having my order taken or being greeted at all. The server seemed very focused on making the açaí bowl ordered ahead of me perfect. The menu looked good and I was pretty stoked to try a coconut water drink after climbing around Mt Rubidoux Park. This seemed like the only place in The Food Lab where I could get something that passed as healthy. Oh well. I probably would have waited longer if I had been given a cursory "be with you in a minute" or any eye contact at all. Clearly Mondays at 4:45 are NOT the time to come here :P

    Açaí bowl was refreshing, fruit and toppings were delicious. Staff were friendly and not very busy during the day/lunch time. Clean environment and would come back again to try their smoothies!

    Bowl was bomb. Service was good, I didn't wait that long. It's at food lab, it's chill.

    THE BEST!!!!!!! I RECOMMEND THE BLUE IGLOO DRINK!!!!

    Hate to be this person, but customers don't owe businesses convenience. If your store says it…read morecloses at 9:00 p.m., you should take orders up to that time. I arrived tonight at 8:28 p.m. at this location for the first time, treating myself to Nékter. I can make this at home, but this is a gift I'm giving myself. My money, my time, my gas, and my effort showing up at this business mean something and are worth a lot to me. To be told the second I walked in that they had too many online orders and weren't taking any more in-person orders, while the floors were soaking wet and all the chairs were flipped on top of the tables, was not just insulting but a clear message that I have zero value to this business. First-time customer and last-time customer. If you plan to close an hour, or even 40 minutes, before your posted closing time, then change your closing time to reflect that. I ended up going to Juice It Up at 8:40 p.m., and they happily took my order with a smile. What a difference it makes to be treated humanely.

    Why why why do we need to order with that stupid screen. What happened with human interaction? The…read moresmoothies here are good but now I have to order on this thing? It's like going through a dictionary of options with a line of people behind me. What happened to customer service? And it has the NERVE to ask if I want to add a tip to my order?? A tip for what? So disappointing. If I want a smoothie now-I'll make it at home. what's the point?

    Located in the 'University Village' near UCR. There's plenty of parking, but not near the entrance…read more I was craving a classic smoothie so I placed my order via their app. I had their 'Pina Cool-Ada' (pineapple, banana, non-fat yogurt, and coconut flakes); it was the perfect refreshing treat for a warm, late afternoon. While the inside lobby is tiny, they have a few tables outside to enjoy your drink. Service was fast and efficient. My order was ready as soon as I walked in the door. The young gentleman at the register was very welcoming and attentive. Between the great service and the tasty smoothie, I'll for sure be a repeat customer. I'll be back to try other flavors.

    Every once in a while I feel like I need a legitimate raw juice concoction to purge toxins, revive…read moremy tired butt, or just a sense of liquid revitalization. Juice It Up is my go-to (as opposed to Jamba Juice, which is more foo foo smoothies). Prices are on the high side, true, but I have a juicer at home and buying fresh veggies, citrus, parsley, etc al., that adds up fast, so the prices are actually fair for periodic visits. Otherwise, there are zero frills at any location and by design most are take-out oriented. Occasionally they're backed up with online and walk-in orders, but it's the overall quality that matters most to me.

    I had been looking forward to trying this place. I love build your own bowl style and have visited…read moreseveral other different build your own/acai companies. Many other spots being a weekly trip. I was hoping to add this one to the rotation but sadly it did not make the cut. The most important aspect is the ingredients and taste. There are not many fresh fruit choices. The one I choose, blueberry, were over ripe, not even cool but room temp and mushy. The granola and almonds were stale. Thats a first for me out of many places I've been. The dates were dried, not fresh and so hard I had to be careful. Any other place I've been to were fresh dates. The ones here, besides being hard, were also covered in something white that the staff didn't know what it was. That brings me to customer service. The man who served us was impatient, trying to force us through the line. (Initially no one in front or behind us) We were not quick enough so he took the people who walked in behind even though we had questions and they did have another employee there available to take the new arrivals. It was not what I had hoped for in a first experience. Its also not easy to get to, so you would think that might matter to the staff. It didnt. It was pretty expensive too for not being fresh. I tried the blue coconut base. That was good but it didn't save the rest. I'm still head tilting on some of these reviews. A few even show as new account and only one review. This place? Check out the one just below me. If you want higher stars, train your people better and don't bulk buy so much that some people end up with stale bowls. We won't be back. I'd suggest any other of the build your own or acai/smoothie places before I'd ever recommend this one. Serious sad face emoji!
