First of all, this juice bar has moved to 145th between FDB and ACP. It is down the block from New York Sports Club which is convenient.
This juice bar is tiny and typically only one person--the owner--is working behind the counter, so you have to be patient both to place and to receive your order. The good news is that while you wait, you can chat with the owner or the other customers. This place has a lot of regulars, everyone is very friendly and talkative, and your wait will fly by if you go with the flow. I always have interesting conversations while I wait, and the owner is a pleasure to chat with as well. A few of the owner's regular customers even make runs to the grocery store for him when he is short on ingredients.
The juices here are comparable price wise to other juice bars in NYC; although, cheaper than the bottled juices other juice bars sell at Whole Foods and Fairway. The juices taste significantly better than most other juice bars I have been to in NYC, and the owner, if you are polite and personable, will cater the juice to your taste in terms of the amount of pulp, how "green" it truly is (don't be scared--he will ease you into the all-green juices) and the amount of ginger he includes to mask the earthy flavor of kale, watercress, and other vegetables. The owner, once he gets to know you, often provides samples of juices he is experimenting with, makes special blends if you come in with a particular ailment or health concern, and charges less than the menu price.
The only draw-back is that I don't think the ingredients are all organic at this juicebar. I cannot say that for a fact, but I live in the neighborhood, and there is not a lot of organic produce available in the 140s between Bradhurst and Lenox at this point in time, so if the owner has to make a last-minute run for ingredients, there simply are not many organic options. read more
