"Known for a name that some find cringe-worthy, this California-born chain is expanding into Houston with two announced locations: one in the Heights at 5307 North Main Street and another in West Houston at 2660 Eldridge Parkway. It already operates multiple California outlets, an outpost in Virginia, a Dallas–Fort Worth spot, and a forthcoming Tyler location. The menu centers on vegetable- and fruit-based juices with playful names—examples include the Beetnik (beet, kale, celery, apple, lemon) and the Thumper (carrot, grapefruit, ginger)—alongside smoothies made with fruit and Greek yogurt, açaí bowls, protein shakes, wheatgrass, and lemon-cayenne-ginger juice shots. Some locations also serve solid food such as breakfast bowls and burritos, though it's unclear whether the Houston locations will offer those items. The chain will enter an already crowded Houston juice market that includes brands like Juice Society, JuiceLand, Main Squeeze, Clean Juice, and Nekter; local updates are pending." - Amy McCarthy
