This trip I noticed all of their grab and go coolers were empty and there were not chips or cookies for grab and go on the racks. Not sure if they were just restocking or if there is a move planned. The cashier didn't greet me or ask for my order, so I just plowed ahead with my order. However, the person who prepared my smoothie was very friendly.

The service was pretty quick ~10 minutes and the staff was very friendly. Both were yummy. The ingredients tasted fresh and portions were large.

The store is clean and bright with a lot of natural light.

The owner, Ryan, is really intentional about the product he provides, having started this business while supporting his amazing Mom through a cancer diagnosis. His staff is always attentive and great at answering any questions you have about the juice! I highly recommend the Firefighter & The Beet Drop because you need ginger and beets (respectively) in your life at least once a week. Short story time: once upon a time I hated beets. The flavor & smell, alone were enough to make me gag. I tried the Beet Drop. I now love beets. It's really good because Ryan found a way to put the best, natural ingredients together a minimize beet's tendency to overpower a dish. Once you try the juice, you'll be back for more.

Juice life is run by a father, a local, a man who loves his community and health and wellness. Juice life has a great array of fresh pressed juices made by hand daily.

I was excited to see The Smoothie Spot open up. The first time I tried to visit in the middle of a weekday, they were closed, with no sign explaining why. I had gone out of my way to go there on my lunch break. Anyway, I went on another weekday. I found the interior to be very dark and having old booths. The young employee was not very friendly. I tried the peanut butter and banana smoothie. I have to say, it WAS DELICIOUS. I loved that it had cinnamon in it. I'm sure I will go back, but I really think they need to make the interior (and employees) more inviting if they want to survive.

I ordered a ham and muenster kolach with mustard day special and then got one of their specialty lattes, it had rosemary or something in it? Such a cozy inside with friendly, chill people working, and life changing food. I felt like Remy eating the strawberry and cheese in Ratatouille. I will be back the next time I'm in town!
