I own a juice bar myself in California so I like to visit other concepts to see how they operate. I went into Pure Cold Press this morning and met the owner himself. He was so informative and super kind and welcoming. Love all the healthy options they have. Definitely coming back next time I'm in this part of town! read more

WOW! Pure Cold Press is not just the bomb.com, it is the gosh darn bees knees. I don't go out to eat too often, but EVERYTIME I do, it is to this fine establishment. I have tried most things on their menu from salads, smoothies, soups, and of course their fantasric panini's! I have never once been dissapointed. Not only is the food top notch, but I have never had a more pleasurable experience with restaurant staff. They catered to all my needs and were very respectful of my many food allergies. I give Pure Cold Press my highest recommendation, and encourage all to visit this healthy and delicious family-owned establishment. read more

Love this place! It has really delicious homemade soups, warm sandwiches, and excellent salads. Everything is super fresh, high quality, healthy, and delicious. Haven't tried the juices or coffee yet, but It looks great too. read more

This is one of those "you get what you pay for" situations... I like high quality ingredients and am willing to pay a premium for that. I also want the place to be sterile-clean and everybody to look happy when they serve me because they are paid and treated well (I sure hope that's the case!). I completely understand people complaining about prices, but there are many cheap places in Boston that I would rather avoid (say anything near South Station!!!) and instead pay more. I would love to see more verity, but I'm sure that will come with time... read more

Not a big fan... I ordered a smoothie with almond milk, but in the end, I got both almond milk and water. It was thin with frozen chunks... bummer. read more

Great concept for kosher place as can also appeal to health conscious. Cold pressed juices, smoothies, breakfast food and sandwiches. I really liked the cold pressed juice I ordered. read more

I don't live in the area anymore, but every time I visit Brookline I like to stop here for a good vegetarian lunch. The vegan schwarma was pretty good. I love a restaurant that I can go into and order anything on the menu as it is! read more

I went this morning for a smoothie and realized how much more cold press has to offer. Prepared pasta salads, salsas, fresh make your own salad bar, pressed juice, and smoothies. This is a must visit restaurant. Exceptional. My only complaint is that they don't offer protein as a smoothie add-on. Peanut butter is an option though and that was delicious. Keep up the good work. read more

Reliably terrible service, most especially within 90 minutes of closing time.

Excellent and much-needed addition to Coolidge Corner. Great selection of freshly made juices with creative combinations. Delicious fresh cold salads - you can get a few of them in a bowl to try. Wonderful smoothies with great texture. They make their own almond milk which takes 48+ hours to do properly and the result is well-worth it. The staff are super friendly and helpful. You will feel healthier after just one visit here. It's pricey but worth it unless you are committed to making all this healthy food at home! read more

glad this place opened! I stopped by today for the first time & had a good experience - friendly staff, yummy cold press juice (recharge), & a delicious smoothie (green monster). My only complaints are 1-price is sky high, even for a high quality smoothie place 2-not enough greens & too much banana; I really couldn't taste much other than the banana . I will definitely give it another try though! Lots of potential! read more

Pure Cold Press - The green monster (small) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Tried Pure Cold Press for the first time last night. I had the Spicy quinoa wrap. It was pretty good- definitely tasted fresh. They served it with a side salad which was a nice touch, although no dressing so I didn't like it but my friend enjoyed it. She get to caprese sandwich and soup and also liked her dish. I did not try any juice because they are so expensive, I would have to come in for one or the other. The design is really cool- fresh growing grass in the center and lots of wood. It is very clean and a health atmosphere. The manager was very nice, you can tell he is really trying to sell his new restaurant and wants to connect with people. It is nice to see him caring so much, but is also a bit much when you just want to choose and item and relax. All in all it was very good- not great, but I am routing for them! read more

The avocado smash sandwich is for any fan of great guacamole! Try the rise smoothie with a touch of ginger for a morning wake up call!!

The juices are terrific and so are the salads, but I have to say that the service is about the worst I've ever seen. If there's more than one person in line, be prepared to WAIT. And wait. And wait. They have pretty much no process and, since they are in the food service industry, they should probably figure out how to make food, you know, before the sun finishes it rotation around the earth. In addition, they're constantly running out of stuff. Some days, they have a full cooler of juices. Other days, nothing is stocked until the afternoon - and then only with half of their products. Other days nothing's there at all. I've honestly never seen anything like it... It's like whoever's running the place is kinda doing it as a hobby, because they never seem to broken up about the fact that they never have stuff. It's almost like they don't really care about their customers, to be honest. It's too bad because it could be a great place. Instead, in the Brookline tradition, it's a poorly run business that would do well from competition that would either make them up their game or put them out of business. read more

I thought this place only had crazily expensive juices, but then I heard that they also have good salads. So I tried it out. I got a salad that I created myself and a cup of tomato basil soup. The salad was by far the best I've had since I moved from the west coast to the Boston area a few years ago. The greens were fresh, the toppings were generous and delicious (especially the beets!), I liked the cilantro-lime dressing, and there was actually not too much dressing, yay. The soup, on the other hand, was kind of blah, definitely not salty enough. I tasted the lentil cauliflower soup as well, and it was tasty but far too salty. The customer service was weird. First, the woman helping me seemed to alternate between being nice and irritable. Also, either she forgot to or I didn't hear her tell me that the tofu was $1.50 extra, so I was surprised by the charge at the checkout. The man at the checkout (manager or owner?) offered to take it off, which I appreciate, but he was simultaneously rudely aggressive in how he talked to me ("Do you want me to take the charge off? Hey, eye contact! I'm talking to you!"). Why ruin a nice gesture? Anyway, I will still go back and hope for a nicer encounter, since the food is fresh, yummy, and much needed in Boston! read more

Very good! Very healthy! Love the people that work there, they are very nice and good service. I highly recommend the portable mushroom. Everything is very fresh and you can make it your own. The dressings are also delicious. I will say that when it gets busy it can take a while to get through the line because everything is made right in front of you. Definitely not a reason to not go though! read more

Operationally, this place needs some serious help. How the salad line works is totally confusing--and the line bottlenecks quickly. Value for price needs attention and service was also lacking. This place needed a few more trial runs before opening. read more

The price range for this place is not moderate. It should be categorized under expensive, if not very expensive. My husband and I were so excited to see a juice bar as we are from California where there are tons, and definitely lacking here in Boston. So we went in to try a juice. First they were all pre-made and prices were not listed anywhere or marked on the bottles. So we got the register with our two bottles of juice and it rang up to $21.50! The cashier went on to explain that each bottle had 5 lbs of organic ingredients and that's why it was priced so high. Absolute rip-off and we will not be going back. read more

There is no other place like it - the juices are Cold Pressed and Amazing! There is nothing better than being able to taste every ingredient in both your Food and Juice - and they are on point with both. As a vegetarian for over 5 years, to have Pure Cold Press come to Coolidge Corner is a dream come true. Finally! In regards to the atmosphere/decor - they have an awesome, laid back, natural, earthy, and breathable vibe. I recommend any and all of the juices! and the salads are to die for! Dine in, take out, grab a juice, or wheat grass shot anytime! From early morning until night. I highly recommend it !!!!! read more

I usually don't write too many reviews, unless the place is perfect or horrible. In this case- Pure Cold Press is PERFECT! I don't like buying salads anywhere as I can make salads myself because they are so simple...but at Pure Cold Press it's a whole other story... The salads are absolutely delicious!!! There are so many different varieties to choose from; sweet, spicy, etc. just so many options for SALADS! I can see where people are upset as it's a little pricy but for me it's worth it. It's not just lettuce with a little cherry tomato and a slice of cucumber; it's so much more! There is a vast variety of ingredients and more work put into making it, delicious, organic and healthy! I'm excited to have this new place around! I will definitely be back! read more

Second time at Cold Press and I can tell how they improved! Cold Press has two months opened and I think they're doing great! I tried today a smoothie called "Date Night" was DELISH! Also I had a buffalo tofu over a bed of lettuce, pickled onions, and egg. The southwestern bean wrap was to die for! The place has a terrific location in the heart of Coolidge Corner, and it has a very good vibe! Definitely is going to be my new spot for healthy food. Keep doing great folks!! read more

Very nice place inside, everything is brand new so i figured it would be pricey and it was. Honestly though its all worth it, the fruit smoothies i had were so fresh and cold, i would definitely head back for more. The owner was working in there the couple of times I went in so it made me think he really cares about whats going on in his juice bar. Pros: nice set up friendly staff tasty juice smoothies Cons: Pricey read more

Was just back in Brookline for a visit, and discovered Cold Press had opened -- what a great place! The space is open, airy, and spotless. Everything is nicely laid out for seeing the choices, ordering, etc. Variety of places to sit, for groups or by yourself. I didn't have any of the juices, but there's a full range of options for many different categories of vegan and vegetarian options -- sandwiches and wraps, amazing entree salads, bagel & egg breakfast, etc, etc. All kosher, of course. My salad was great, had a taste of another sandwich, everything looks yummy. And the service was good too, everyone was so friendly. I would definitely make this a regular spot if I still lived in town. read more

Hours online state business is open until 3pm. I arrived at 2:42pm to see customers still inside eating, however the door was locked and the staff was already cleaning up and I was ignored. If you don't want to stay open until 3pm, don't post that you are open until 3pm. read more

I love this place and I hang out here all the time. The salads make for amazing mid-day snacks, and I'm not kidding - I just had the BEST mediterranean omelet of my life here. Skip Zaftigs if you are in Coolidge Corner and come here for breakfast. You won't regret it. This place is authentically whole foods, tasty, and good! Update! It has free wifi! read more

Searching mid-afternoon on Friday for someone to cater our grandson's bris on Monday morning, we passed Pure Cold Press and decided to walk in. We met Chaim, the owner, who sat down with us immediately, although he was closing down for shabbos. We told Chaim what we wanted and he promised he would make it happen. Monday morning, promise kept. Beautiful platters: superior quality lox, salads, fruit and cheeses. Extremely generous portions. Everything was ready on time and we could not have been happier. Throughout, we had the feeling that Chaim, his mom and staff were celebrating with us and for us. Thank you, Chaim. read more

See all

Rude. Patronizing. And I never even got the food. Was celebrating a post temple event with my sister and her kids but when we went to order (ever try and order with 5 people...it isn't always smooth) the server was impatient, dismissive and rude as we tried to decide what to get. He mocked us. Complained we were taking too much time. Rolled his eyes. After asking who the owner manager was, he lied and said he didn't know. I said "really?" "Okay, it's me." I had brought my family there because the temple recommended the place. My young nieces didn't understand. Yes, we left (after he refused to keep dealing with us and moved to the next person in line). Nice move. We won't be back. The people who hosted me at the temple event (next door) will be copied on this review. read more

Brookline's long over-due healthy food restaurant that is REAL food. This place is delicious! The juice is made there, you can get custom smoothies, or pick from a wide range of greens and yummy veggies. It's my go-to after my workouts! Love! read more

Pure Cold Press - First of many delicious and gorgeous salads at Pure Cold Press - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

i read the reviews before going, so I knew it would be pricey. the salad bar/ check out line was confusing, which is why im not giving 5 stars. otherwise, the store is really pretty. I got the TLT sandwich and it was SO GOOD! I also got the superhero smoothie which was really tasty and healthy (: my boyfriend got the french onion soup, he said it was very good! nice vegan options, very quality read more

Worst acai bowl. The acai was still frozen in large chunks and so the actually bowl just tasted like water. They also put very little fresh fruit on top. Definitely not worth $9. I also waited in line for 20 minutes. All around poor experience. read more

I take the T here whenever I'm craving an açaí bowl. The PB Cacao Açaí bowl is a perfect serving size and so tasty!

We thought we were in luck because we ordered our juices just before a big group came in. Wrong. The employees made all of the orders of the people behind us - including food that needed quite a bit of cooking and preparation - before even beginning to make our juices. When we finally received them we were both extremely disappointed. You would think a "green machine" juice would have some greens in it, but there weren't even enough to make the color of the juice green. I'm never coming back. read more

The food is overpriced. The quality is disappointing. They should provide bread with their salads.

Had a great sandwich. Good service. Owner was responsive and was giving out samples of juice products. Prices may seem high, but for vegan/kosher, prices are pretty fair read more

Love this place! Cool/relaxed atmosphere, awesome/friendly staff, and delicious food and cold pressed juices.

Staff is very unprofessional and rude. Smoothie was not blended and tasted terrible - threw it out right away.

$10.50 for a small bottle of juice...for real? I gasped out loud when the cheery hipster at the cash register told me the price as if I was getting a huge bargain. The management needs to seriously reconsider their pricing as I will never return with the cost to value now. In addition, I witnessed the manager/boss yelling at the staff in full view of all the customers, something that is at worst a sign the place Isn't ready to be opened yet and at best terrible customer service and a poor environment. On the positive side, the juices seemed fresh as did the salad bar but I've seen that salad / juice concept done much better with a more reasonable price point and certainly a more professional staff. read more

This is a great concept, and the food isn't bad, but the owner has not figured out how to serve customers. Most of their food isn't labeled and when I asked what the soup was the folks working had no idea. I ordered it anyway and it was barely warm. My sandwich took about 15 minutes and there were more employees than customers. This is a mediocre attempt at trying to copy sweetgreen, a place that knows how to serve their customers quickly efficiently and well! read more

Delicious food. Excellent customer service. Great option for a healthy quick guilt free meal.

The salads are great and they have made lots of improvements with their selections. Really terrific food!! I just wish the wait staff didnt look like they hated every minute being there. read more
