Stopping at the Juice bar and getting something healthy seemed like a great idea the morning after the drinking and eating we did our first night in Nashville. We walked from Germantown to the Gulch, explored the area and stumbled upon this place right in the heart of the town. The place is tiny, no place to sit inside whatsoever, standing room only and immediately upon walking in the door you are at the counter so be ready to order. When I walked in I was asked what I wanted and then grabbed a menu which was conveniently located upon walking in to scan what they had. They had what you can expect at a juice bar, juices, smoothies, healthy detox shots and some food. When I decided on a juice I looked at the woman behind the cashier and she wasn't looking at me because she and her co-worker were having some sort of joke between the two of them and she was laughing so hard she couldn't make eye contact with me. I'm all about fun in the workplace but we couldn't help but think they were laughing at us, it was uncomfortable. I went with the mean greens, which contained jalapeño, celery, kale, cucumber, spinach, parsley and lemon. Seemed like the perfect detox drink. I really like that they give you the calories next to the type of juice. They had two sizes, small or large. Their shots and power shots intrigued me, lots of cool options. Their smoothies weren't appealing to me because they were loaded with sugar from the juices they were using as can be expected though in any fruit smoothie. Their food menu sounded awesome, lots of healthy things.
So I ordered the juice and within 5 seconds my juice was ready on the counter. BUMMER. The don't make the juice for you fresh they have a container of ready made juices that they pour from. I get it, efficiency, you could have a line of 20 people out the door and making fresh juices is time consuming, but you just wonder how fresh the juice is that they're pouring you. It could have been made 5 minutes before I walked in, an hour before or the afternoon the day before, I just don't know and I don't like that. I would have rather waited ten minutes to know that what I was getting was fresh. They had a few tables outside to sit down at. My juice was okay, jalapeño definitely added the kick it needed.
