It pains me to leave a review like this to a black owned business in Saint Paul, but I am severely…read moredisappointed in my experience today. If this company has cameras with audio, I would encourage them to listen back to order 6525 that was placed today, March 19th, 2026 around 5:45 PM. I came to support this establishment because I have yet to do so since the opening, and was excited to contribute to the success of a black owned business. The grounds were clean, and the music was a vibe. I placed my order at the Kiosk, and paid nearly $25 for a $9 juice and $10 smoothie with tax. Both products were wonderful. However, that's not my concern. The service was without a doubt unprofessional and uncomfortable. The man serving the community today began to chat with me, catching up because we were familiar with one another from my previous employer. After asking where I was working now, he began to solicit me with job opportunities within Life Juices and on his own personal product line, offering me $500 to assist him with marketing. (Mind you, this is very similar to the conversation we had when I met him the first time, he let me know then that he's co-owner of Life Juices and also offered me job opportunities.) When I declined, he asked why do "black women" act like this or that (I don't remember exactly what was said) At this point, I'm annoyed and offended. After I respectfully read him his rights, I told him I don't want him to make my juice and I'd like my money back. He randomly referred to himself as a Pharaoh and let me know that he would begin making my order. As I'm waiting for my order, two other patrons walk up to place an order. The man serving took this as an opportunity to poke fun at me with one of them, saying I don't recognize a Pharaoh when I see one, and dapping up the stud. Now, I did my best to be a good sport. They began to joke that I don't even know what Pharaoh means. I decide that I'm not going to pay attention anymore. As I bend down to give my three year old juice, the patron leaned over to ask "do you know what pharaoh mean" I responded and said "it means King". She then returned to the conversation with the man working discussing how women need to do better when they see a Pharaoh (that's just a paraphrase) Now if you get a chance to listen to the audio, I was referred to out of my name during this conversation (meaning the b word) and I'm trying to figure out how did we get here when I just came to order some juice that I didn't even want in the first place- just supporting a local business. SMH I'm so upset, honestly. The audacity of these people to refer to me out of my name in front of my three year old son was so distasteful. The audacity to include this random patron that I don't know to poke fun at any person, but me..? a person who just supported your establishment. All because I declined your advances? If you're reading this, shame on you. Do better.

Fantastic concept, poor area. I'm all for supporting local and will come back here as it is close…read moreproximity to my home. Contrary, the University area does not allow for a relaxing environment so this is a spot that I will forever grab and go. I appreciate what Life Juices is doing after revamping a run down Dairy Queen into a healthy storefront. Highlights include hand made items which take a little extra time so you know it's fresh, side patio with plants and small herb garden along with some colorful Adirondack chairs and unique items with a food menu in progress. Sadly, I had 1 homeless person ask me to buy items and it ruined the vibe. In addition, there were questionable activities happening while I awaited my order. Ordering is done on a kiosk with a vast array of choices from pressed juices to smoothie bowls to smoothies. I opted for a peanut butter protein shake with dates and it was so good! I also purchased 3 pressed juices. Each item is almost $10 and then there were $6 taxes? I thought food was tax free? Regardless, I'm finding out that eating healthy in general, is more expensive. I hope Life Juices is able to attract the population it wants as the area for me, is the wrong one but right product. I'll be back!

Ooh, I typically am in agreement with most Yelp reviews, but my experience was lacking today…read more Service: Meh. Certainly not bad, but nothing really all that good, either. I didn't see any "warm fuzzies" toward me or any of the later customers. Coffee: I calorie-splurged on a Peanut Butter Mocha. Frankly, it was overly sweet and there was little evidence of peanut butter. Definitely not one of the better mochas I've tried. Danish: I was disappointed not to see any breakfast items on the menu, so I ordered a danish from the limited selection (at 8:30 am on a Monday) and hoped for the best. Just then, a screen flashed up a "bacon breakfast waffle" for $5, so I went with that instead. Breakfast Sandwich: Ooh, not good. First, very small, and sufficiently microwaved from freezing that one half of it was hard as a rock. Definitely not worth $5, let alone $2. Very disappointing. Environs: Sort of a mid-sized cafe with perhaps 10 small tables. I scored one near a power outlet, but I couldn't figure out which WiFi was the correct one, and all of them were password-protected. The staff were busy, so I just went with my phone hot spot. Bathrooms and the tables were clean. Hopefully, my experience is an anomaly, but I'm not going to make the effort to find out.

The inside of the store was very open and spacious, it seemed like a lot of space for a store that did not require much space. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot right outside Liv Tru. The menu is quite extensive as it ranges from smoothie bowls to teas and to smoothies. I chose to get the turtle mocha with no pralines and my friend got the lemon cupcake. The girls working there were extremely nice and wanted us to enjoy our smoothies! Customer service was 10/10. The smoothies themselves were not my favorite. They consisted of lots of protein powder and fake tasting substances. My smoothie had a nice consistency but was very chalky tasting and left a bad after taste. The lemon cupcake smoothie tasted exactly like a lemon cupcake but once again was not a fresh smoothie. This is a great place to go if you are looking for a smoothie with plenty of protein powder.

We arrived mid-morning, and the place was packed with what were clearly repeat customers who call the place "home". It's easy to see why: the service is quick and friendly, the pastries are excellent, and the coffee is exceptionally fresh. There's also a nice selection of teas. If you come hungry, May Day offers breakfast burritos and the tallest quiches I've ever seen. A word of warning: the place is always busy, so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table. The noise level is high, so be prepared to struggle to hear your tablemate. Overall, May Day is what a neighborhood hangout should be--highly recommended.

I'd say prices are typical for the airport which is higher than normal, but this feels like one of the better options if you're looking for a healthier option and a nutritionally balanced option. There are spots to sit if you want to enjoy your order there. Area was decorated nicely and Cassie was cleaning tables frequently for use. Thank you to Cassie for making a great first experience.
