I'm a special kind of hypocrite who eats a burger, fried pickle chips, fries piled with cheese and buttermilk ranch, alongside a spiked milkshake... and then turns around and buys a week's worth of high-nutrition, fresh-pressed local juices the following day.
They don't just make me feel better about my earlier transgression. They make me feel better because they actually boost my body's performance. I always feel fresher, fuller, and more alert after juicing! I dropped in on their grand opening, and once since, and get the feeling they're still getting everything fully up and running. But the owner is awesome -- very friendly and passionate about juicing, and also really knowledgeable about it. They have four ready-made juices and one smoothie to choose from, in the fridge, along with shots of wheatgrass and other boosters, and homemade almond milk. Everything I've ordered has been very drinkable and wonderfully blended -- I particularly enjoy the Herbivore, which is packed with veggies and has a little spice to it. The Beet(le)juice is naturally sweet and delicious.
The interior is bright white and feels clean, though not stark. One of the cool things about the spot is that it's set up with a bar in the middle, so you can hang out there. Unlike my Durham juice shop, it doesn't seem you can order on-the-spot custom juices and smoothies, although you can place orders through the website for pick-up. They also are not currently serving items aside from juice, though I'd love to see them potentially expand to carry nutritional salads, vegan baked goods, and raw foods -- wouldn't that be an awesome downtown lunch option?
