Juice Press

I am a huge fan of JP's Ginger Ball and a few of the magic balls. What I am not a huge fan of is inconsistencies and less than cordial and professional employees.

I ordered to toogoodtogo. Contents were 2 sloppy oatmeal and one was clearly sitting out because it was completely liquified A Kelp salad, taste was decent. The biggest offender was the roasted veggie salad which was basically kale and diced carrots. ZERO flavor, I’ve never had such a bland salad in my life. It was gross I can only imagine what their smoothies taste like based on the oatmeal which did not taste good at all. This a place I wouldn’t return to if they were giving out stuff for free.

I was really disappointed with my visit here. Based on the name “Juice Press,” I expected a juice bar where I could order freshly pressed juices made on the spot. Instead, the menu only had açai bowls, blended smoothies, and bottled juices from the fridge. While those may appeal to some people, they aren’t the same as fresh, made-to-order pressed juice. It feels misleading for a place with this name to not actually offer what it implies. I even walked 10 minutes out of my way thinking I’d be able to get a fresh juice, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. If you’re specifically looking for pressed juice, this isn’t the spot.

I’ve been there twice, and the employees always seem mad and somewhat rude. The last time I went, I bought a pre-made juice and also ordered the Blue Magic smoothie. They already had one Blue Magic smoothie prepared, and as I was ordering and paying, one of the employees handed me the drink by tossing it onto the counter where I was paying. I didn’t mind that the drink was already made, but I didn’t appreciate the way she threw it at me. So far, I’ve tried the Blue Magic and Cacao Peanut Butter smoothies, and I didn’t like either of them. They were so thick that I had to eat them like an açaí bowl, and they didn’t taste good at all. They really need to improve both their customer service and the quality of their smoothies. However, the Ginger Fireball I had tasted pretty good.

I expected more. I ordered two breakfast burritos for 12$ which seems fair. Once I placed my order, I thought that my Breakfast burrito would be made freshly. Instead, the employee reached into the refrigerated area, pulled out two tiny, packed in foil burritos and quickly warmed them up for me. The taste was ok, I have definitely had better breakfast burritos. What helped was the hot sauce package for dipping. As happy as i was, to see the vegan community grow, unfortunately i was disappointed. Two stars because the location was good, the service was ok and the ambiance seemed modern and nice.

The large (24oz) strawberry banana smoothie I ordered was a disappointment. At $17, I expect more than a drink that's mostly foam on top and has unblended date chunks I had to chew on. The quality doesn't match the price. Very disappointed since this place is close to my office, i will not be returning.

I walked in at 7:15 (opening time was 7am) and the staff was rude to me when I asked to order something saying they just opened and wouldn’t be ready for at least another 10 minutes. How strange… surely you should be ready to make smoothies at the time you open, let alone 15 minutes later?

I grabbed the Clean Green Protein Smoothie on MealPal and it was awesome—Juice Press blended creamy banana with vibrant kale and almond butter for a super healthy pick-me-up.

I had a good experience here, but I likely ordered the right thing, which was the Watermelon Mango smoothie! Their smoothies are a generous 16oz size and mine was very refreshing and not too thick, which is perfect. I only had to wait a quick ~5 min for my drink to be made. I was initially debating between getting one of their green juices, and thankfully the staff recommended a smoothie, which was a good call. Friendly staff and extensive drink options. Will likely return to order the same thing to keep it safe.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I ordered my smoothie I ordered for the blueberry smoothie. She started to make me one. She already had it in the refrigerator. I already miss my train. Unbelievable. She looked like she had an attitude on top of it all.

What juice press gets right: -the bottled juices. I've had several, all 10/10 -the cauliflower wings, 10/10 -clean establishment, places to sit What juice press gets terribly wrong: -the tomato soup. It was so so so terrible that it is probably the worst food I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to eat. I couldn't stomach to eat this nor could I give it to a homeless person because it was just disgusting. Enough to drop the stars down to 2- truly gross. Juice press: please try your tomato soup. I'm 90% sure it's tomato paste that has been microwaved with ketchup.

These smoothies absolutely stink. They are so bland and flavorless, I don't have the slightest idea how a damn smoothie can taste like water after you add a barrage of ingredients. So poorly made, please close your doors forever.

I ordered the blended coffee and it was definitely a little banana-y and less coffee-y than I was expecting. That said, I think it grew on me the more I drank it. I also added some plant protein to it so it was definitely a bit overpriced. However, the girl at the registrar was super nice. I would come again and try some of the other items on their menu.

Quick summary: personally, I'm a big fan of juices and this was a great little wake-up boost! The price is on the higher side, the service is cute, and it's healthy! PRICE: alright, this is what knocks this down a bit, but what I can say is that everything in New York is going to be on the pricey side. It's either a breakfast meal or a juice. LOCATION: I tend to go early like around 7-8 AM, but check the times for the weekends (I believe they open at around 9). Recommendation: it's a good place to chill around and maybe try an açaí bowl!

Honestly, I've been to Juice Press three times, trying to like it, and everything I've ordered has just been bad. I don't understand who's taste testing the recipes because it's just not good. Next to that, the workers are often rude. The interior is also very odd and not very clean behind the bar. I won't be back.

Horrible, it is crazy I ordered colli nuggets $10 and got maybe 6 tiny pieces. Went up to counter and they told me I'm lucky for what I got, suck customer service, clean.

The Juice Press on 55th between 5th and 6th in NYC has disappointed me too many times. I give it two stars because the people there save it - they are very nice. BUT, the food has been awful. The Acai bowl is sooooo sweet and soupy and the toppings are also overly sweetened. Frozen blueberries instead of fresh, and do they have sugar on them? The soups - both the split pea (this used to be their best) and the curry lentil are so salty they were inedible. I had to toss them. I was thoroughly grossed out. Also, ordering online and choosing a pick up time does NOT guarantee your food will be ready. They looked at me like I had 5 heads when I asked for my order. And then it took them 15 minutes to put it together. Lastly, $17 for an Acai bowl and $17 for a soup + broth - too expensive and not worth the price. The smoothies are still really great, so if I do go back, I'll be sticking to those and only those.

Worst protein shake i've ever had. Tasted like pure dirt and flax. I even ordered two off the menu--the clean green and peanut butter cacao one. Both were awful.

I was starrrrving last Wednesday when I walked by and felt the siren of nutritious and delicious liquid fruits and veggies calling my name. I walked in and my body immediately told me I need something green in my system. I ordered the ginger green smoothie and drank it in literally 3 minutes flat. I don't recall taking a breath until I was finished. It's hard for my to decipher this green drink from previous experiences at other juiceries but I know it got the job done. The coolest part about this place was that they offered one free shot for signing up with their loyalty card. I'm a sucker for free and jumped on it. Four minutes later I walked out with a turmeric shot and a smile on my face. I don't know if I can afford this everyone day on top of lunch but I will definitely be back when I'm fiending for something green and healthy.

Came here for their Buy 1 Get 1 Free day. What a success! It was a mad house!!! I always get their Blue Magic in any of their green smoothies. So delicious, lots of fiber and tastes amazing. I love the quality of their produce and lately they've been expanding the variety of what they sell. Amazing broths, soups, bowls, and even healthy candies!

Great and fast service! The smoothie is a tasteful way to get your days worth of protein

I got a strawberry banana smoothie and dear god it was the worst thing i've ever tasted in my life. the service was nice though the employees were very kind.

Had a great experience recently at this location. It was clean and bright! I ordered the clean green protein. It was a green drink but also like a dessert! It had dates and almond milk to go with the veggies. It was just the drink I needed on my lunch break from a work training. Scrumptious and filling! Thanks for making my drink with love!

Don't know why I keep giving this place a chance. The kids who work here are super careless and clearly don't care about how they prepare drinks for customers. Why was my smoothie was left on a counter uncovered with people constantly reaching over it?? I got a protein smoothie with a side of arm dust...mmm yummy! Would you want to drink that? Also I would appreciate not having to see them arguing with each other at the counter about where to put the smoothies. The renovation looks nice but the staff needs to be renovated too.

I can count on one hand how many times I've left one star reviews. This place sucks. There was no one else around waiting for an order and it took twenty minutes to get my bowl. 3 employees were just standing around. We asked about ten min in for an update and the guy sneakily said they were working on it. A few minutes later we asked for our money back and magically my bowl appeared. It had been sitting on the counter for awhile. No apology no nothing. Now I'm 15 minutes late to see my friend. Terrible service. Mediocre smoothie bowl for $10. Don't even go near this place.

Went here and got a vanilla protein shake. Staff was kind attentive and efficient. Shake tasted what I should taste like. Solid juice press location.

Terrible service .Food not done all the way . They are lazy workers always on there phone . Juice press need to get shut down

The smoothies are really good at the 42nd Street Grand Central Terminal location, however, normally there is only one employee working at a time. It does not matter what time you pop in. Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes for your drink. And don't even think about grabbing a drink quickly before boarding your Metro North train. You'll definitely miss it. They really have to do better. The drinks are expensive and you have to wait 10 years to get your drink.

I'm a little bit on the fence with this one. Love the concept, not sure I love the product. I've been two times. The first time, I had a Green Light which was so thick, I couldn't really get the last part of it through a straw and it was slightly unpleasant to chew the left over greens. The second time I was in a rush and remembering the 10 minute wait for the smoothie, I opted for a pre-made bottled concoction from the fridge that I can't recall the name of, but it had plant protein, almond milk, greens and maca. For some reason, when I drank it, all I could think about was that it tasted like I was drinking salad dressing. Not bad, per se, but not something I'd order again... unless I had some salad to pour it on which I'm positive is more appealing than it sounds! The types of "fast" (unless you're getting something made to order) juice and smoothie franchises leave me thinking that at 8 or 9 bucks a pop for something premade, I'd way rather go to an old school type of place and get something more to my liking, truly made to order.

Worst chai latte ever - granted I know it's a smoothie/juice place so why did I order that ??? but at the same time... why are you putting terrible items on the menu? Mine tasted like extremely hot water with a dash of some kind of flavoring?? I don't know but I'm severely disappointed. I have heard the juice and smoothies are great so I would be willing to try anything else on the menu.

Paid $11 for a fruit smoothie while the person making my smoothie killed a cockroach in the background. Take your money elsewhere!

If you need a healthy fix smoothie, juice press has got you covered!! I've had all types of smoothies from here and they all were fantastic. Most recently I had the PINK DRAGON with extra bananas and it was amazing, definitely a must try for the summer!!

This has nothing to do with this specific location, it just happened to be the first (and probably last) Juice Press I walked in to. I had the green protein smoothie. Holy heck... $11 for a 16 oz smoothie. Sure, it was good, but I don't think any smoothie can be 11 bucks worth of good.

Spring has SPRUNG today. I want to eat up a whole green and mossy planet and use its energy to grow new limbs, new hair, and new skin after this winter. But...I am a VERY busy woman. I don't have time to chop and clean and peel the world. I'll need to take it to go.

Terrible. I ordered a smoothie that included avocado, and as I got half way through drinking, there were chunks of avocado in the bottom. When I dumped it, there were just a bunch of little chunks of it, and all of them were around the same size as if that is how they are cut up and prepped for being added to the smoothies. It also tasted like the flavors generally were not well mixed at all. First and last time I'll be spending $11 for a drink at this place. Really the only thing you need to get right is blending, and they can't even manage that.

the products are fantastic but the way the company handles things is very bad. more times than I can count, I have made large orders and multiple items are missing. they never call or write to tell me, and then I have to go on the website and click the "items missing" tab and wait for a refund.

JP gets a 5 out of 5 every single time for me. At each location, they're so friendly and kind and willing to explain each menu item for you. The Blue Magic Acai Bowl is the best bowl ever-- along with the Blue Magic smoothie! It has the most protein out of all the options and has the least sugars out of the bunch. The Chia pudding is also a great option if you're looking for something sweeter. They also have a variety of grocery items-- like crackers, chips, and homemade gluten free cookies! Definitely check out these spots for a quick bite!

I took a sip of my bottled blended smoothie and spit out a piece of plastic. Annoyed, but eager to move on and enjoy the $10 drink, I foolishly went for another sip. . . and got another piece of plastic in my mouth. What the actual hell, Juice Press?!

Please Please Please get rid of the powdered milk!! It has ruined the Clean Green. For now, I am briinging my own Oat or Almond Milk! :)

Super inconsistent. The staff is apathetic and the smoothies sometimes are great, but half the time the proportions are off, the color is different every time for the same smoothie, and they are often not blended for long enough. I wish the staff there actually cared and engaged.

This space used to be occupied by a salon and I guess Lifebooker didn't help their business and now it is another Juice Press! What a great healthy addition to LES. Really great smoothie and juice options. I am totally digging their cold pressed coffee. So much better. The tatted lady is really nice and helpful.

Juice tastes pretty good and fresh, but it's made off site for most of their bottles in the fridge. Worth the price? Eh..its up to you and your wallet. I think its alright, but would be too expensive to drink this everyday. I would just eat a regular fruit from the street stands though. Def. worth a try and indulge yourself and be hip, trendy and feel healthy. Worth a try to see what's the juice hype is about. But I won't be visiting anytime soon, wallet is already hurting from buying 10 drinks already.

Juice bars are popping up every where in NYC, with Juice Press being one of my absolute favorites. An education on juice. Juicing is about extracting the nutrients from fruits and vegetables, thereby packing in tons of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Juice differs from smoothies, which is basically blended fruit and other ingredients. So why is the juice craze taking off? Because people have learned about the benefit of detoxing, cleansing, and just good old fashioned weight loss. One of the most popular cleanses is Blue Print (now owned by Hain Celestial) and widely available at Whole Foods. So what makes Juice Press different and one of my favorites??? Its the choices, organic ingredients and the lack of high pressure pascalization (HPP - why your Blue Print and Suija juices can last a month!) For a write up on HPP, do yourself a favor and go to the juice press website and read the owner's blog on it. My health nut friend likens it to throwing around fruit and bruising it (probably a bit of an exaggeration here). Ya its not pasteurized (which kills all the enzymes), and definitely better than not juicing at all. Juice Press uses the Norwalk Press, which is the widely acknowledged best method of juicing. A home version of this machine is $3500 (ekes... vs $300 for the Breville). The downside of no HPP is that juice doesn't last as long, but really, we should strive to consume the freshest ingredients. Other juice bars are good - Organic avenue (i like more their prepared foods and less the juice), Juice Generation (fewer choices), Terri (cheaper but not necessarily organic), and Liqueteria (not my favorite). People complain about the price. Ya $10 on average is EXPENSIVE... Hence why juice bars are popping up left and right! They are high priced/ high margin, but there is a reason. I have a home juicer, and cannot get the price down to less than $3-4 a bottle (summer is cheaper bc produce is cheaper), plus the hours of labor, washing, chopping, and cleaning my juicer. I love making my own juice, but I've found making 6-12 juices can take me 3 hours in the kitchen. Juice Press has list of juices the length of diner menu, with my favorites having anything with the word "Earth" in it. The green juice choices are extensive, and catering to a sweeter flavor (more apple) versus more greens (and definitely an acquired taste). The coffee drinks are tasty and my absolute favorite is the Lait du Coconut, which at $12.99 is dinner. Cheers.

Waited 20 mins for a smoothie with not many people in the shop. When I asked several times I was told it was coming (as if they were growing the berries). Turns out they had handed my drink to whomever was nearby when it was first made and the disinterested cashier just assumed I was impatient. After a long while they had a furtive conversation about my order trying to make sure I didn't hear. And then it was made. Funny but also stupid and incompetent, like the staff.

Normally I'd recommend Juice Press, but I'll be steering clear of this location after my experience today. I've had the F*#%ing Genius smoothie many times so I know what the "norm" is. I ordered a large so when a small came out, I mentioned this. The smoothie had looked and seemed very much like what it normally is when it came out at first. Very quickly I was given a new smoothie in a large cup...well what you think would be a new smoothie, except it was liquidy and bland as though they had literally added extra milk to turn my previous smoothie into a large. It was awful. For over $15, this is not okay. I've been to this location several times, but this really deters me from ever wanting to go back. Disappointing to say the least.

JP apparently has a rule that they cannot give out leftovers to customers. Whenever I have a smoothie bowl or smoothie, there is so much smoothie left in the blender. I used to ask for the leftover in a cup so I can eat later but they now say they can't do that so they trash it. Maybe because I'm European and the amount of food waste in this country is really sad to see, but even my small effort to save food goes to waste because they are not supposed to give away leftovers which otherwise they just trash. From a company that prides itself in Promoting healthy lifestyle etc. Hello, not wasting so much is also a part of a healthy life!

had to wait for nearly an hour .... the person managing it dissappeared or something, but I had already paid

They must use a mint syrup or concentrate or something because I bought a hawaiin ginger mint smoothie and it tasted like liquid spearmint gum. Like so awful. I couldn't taste anything else it just was pure mint and it burned going down. I don't know how to get a return/ exchange or something for this because they didn't give me a receipt, and it was $10 and I had to throw the whole thing out.

Got a juice here, it was very yummy and I really enjoyed it. Pressed fresh on the daily, it was a nice pick me up and I really recommend this place!

Pretty rude, unfriendly management. The staff in general are typically very friendly and kind, give quick service- but a blonde woman out of uniform (a manager, presumably) was not pleasant at all. She had just been schmoozing a couple of other guests (chatty, nice, thanked them, told them to have a good day) that it seemed like she knew well. I'd been waiting a while for my order, the guy behind me in line got his drink before mine came, I asked about mine, was told it was coming- it came, the maker is shouting my name repeatedly as my drink is sitting on the shelf behind the register counter. I ask the manager, could she please grab my drink for me, that it's been sitting there with my name being called and no one is grabbing it? She looks at me, gets the drink, hands it to me without a smile or a word of apology for the wait or a word of thanks, nothing, and looks away. Pretty damn rude and unfriendly, especially compared to how she was just dripping with sweetness for whoever that couple was beforehand.

Found a bug in my salad today. Unfortunately I had the displeasure of tasting it as well. Halfway thru the bite it tasted fowl and when I threw up I was shocked to see a green colored bug with antlers! Disgusted!!! To add to it, when I took the salad back, no one seemed shocked or concerned and didn't even give me a refund. Really disappointed by the brand, considering how expensive they are- I paid $21 for a small salad and smoothie! Never going back!

3.5 stars. Expensive but decent (honestly depends on how experienced your smoothie maker is) - a bit on the watery and icy side compared to liquiteria (which I consistently enjoy more and is a couple bucks cheaper). Juice press has a good selection of fresh daily juices and juices for post workout fuel aka protein powder! They also offer acai berry bowls (haven't tried them yet) and grab and go salads/sides ($10+ and they look small, though packed with good vitamins and antioxidants). Went for a run this morning, so I rewarded myself with their $10 berry (berries. strawberries. bananas. coconut water? protein powder) smoothie. If I had other choices I'd go elsewhere for a smoothie but juice press is around the corner from where I live so no complaints.

I love the juice press. The staff is really helpful, I always ask a ton of questions about the ingredients and they are always really friendly and suggest things that I may like. Its pretty expensive for a smoothie so I only let myself get them as a treat. But their smoothies are natural organic and healthy so that is why they are a little pricy.

My favorite juice/smoothie place in New York, I have gone to every location. I highly recommend the fountain of youth and I also like but not as flavorful more just for health reasons the clean green protein shake for a post gym meal! Love this place everything is great.

So fresh. Healthy, organic, usually samples available, grab and go juices/smoothies/meals/snacks and they also make fresh customized smoothies. I really appreciate that they make all vegetable juice (no fruit) because it's nice to have less sugar sometimes. It seems so simple and common to find everywhere else but this place makes the best tamari almonds and kale chips. I love the Mother Earth juice, their probiotic yogurt drinks and a customized smoothie with banana, walnut, maca, and coffee. Staff are nice, helpful, and mostly patient. There are a few tables available but it gets really busy in here so it's not a great place to relax for a minute but Madison square park is a short walk away.

while finishing some biz on the lower west side of broadway i stop by juice press on 22th st to picked up a large strawberry/pineapple smoothie and two bottles of juices that are energy boosters. i dont really get juices , protein drinks or smoothies for the health benefits as i just like the cool sweetness of the smoothies but if its also healthy for me , then thats a bonus i proudly will take. besides the good healthy liquid drinks , they have bowls and other health eats available. a few times at the other location on the east side i grab the 4 bottles for 25 bucks deal and its not easy for someone like me who enjoys eating breakfast and lunch but to be honest , doing the juice way a few times for morning and afternoon gave me a good amount of energy and i didnt feel hungry or need to sneak a afternoon nap in my office . overall juice press works for me time to time , especially the fruit smoothies.

I was feeling extremely parched after a stroll through Central Park and then back down 5th. I decided I'd stop at Juice Press for a smoothie. As I walked in, I was welcomed by a fresh blast of central air. I then walked to the counter to place my order - a strawberry banana smoothie. I waited for a minute or two and the cashier brought the smoothie out to me. It was a pretty good smoothie, but not worth the $10 price. To be frank, I'm not sure who would go more than once. I know I'll be hunting for more budget friendly smoothies in the future.
