Ruby Jean's Kitchen & Juicery

Love Ruby Jean’s! The world truly needs more places like this, with an array of healthy food options and delicious juices. Seriously, my wife and I are obsessed with their juices and thankfully we’ve found them also available at Whole Foods and McClain’s. Their space is inviting and calming, with friendly service, a chill lounge area, outdoor seating, and vibrant decor. It was a difficult choice from the looks of all their great options and I went with the sweet potato curry bowl. It tasted so FRESH and I really enjoyed it. Only complaint was it was served scalding hot. Only other complaint is we wish we could buy the juice in larger portions! My wife said she wants a gallon for her birthday.

Ordered the Vegan Breakfast Burrito with breakfast sausage and the Healthy Bites boiled eggs. Yes, I am a carnivore. I enjoy the food but the prices are a bit high. I especially enjoy the Vegan Brussel Sprouts Nachos. No, I do not add meat. They are delicious sans meat.

Ruby Jeans Juicery has been a regular stop for me whenever I'm back in town. I appreciate their commitment to healthy, plant-based options, which keeps me coming back. This time, I ordered the Cherry Bomb smoothie and picked up the vegan chickpea grab-and-go salad. The Cherry Bomb smoothie was a refreshing treat. The blend of flavors was well-balanced, and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet—perfect for a light, energizing boost. However, the vegan chickpea salad fell a bit short of expectations. The dried basil left a lingering aftertaste that didn’t quite work for me. Additionally, the salad could benefit from more attention to texture—the red onions and celery were in larger chunks than I would prefer, which disrupted the overall consistency. The salad also leaned on the dry side, and I think extra vegan mayo would have gone a long way in creating a creamier, more enjoyable dish. Overall, while I’ve had better experiences here, I believe there’s room for improvement, especially in the preparation of the chickpea salad.

Ruby Jeans is one of the first places in KCMO I made myself acquainted. I have only ever had my juice customs and the staff is always accommodating. The service is great but sometimes it gives when you go to your favorite Aunty's house and her kid's (your cousins) aren't feeling you bc she's being too nice all of a sudden but you didn't really do anything, so, they'll still make your juice. Issa vibe. I digress 😂 The atmosphere is great. People from all walks of life seem to converge on this beautifully curated space for healthy food, drinks, and networking. This place is cashless. Be prepared bc you will get the finger tap on the sticker of accepted payment methods. In the future, I'll order ahead as it seems to be one of the better ways to lessen wait times during busier periods. Overall, Ruby Jean's is always clean. This place would be great for a first date or meet up with friends or co-workers, relatively expensive with plenty of options, in my opinion. Pictured juice: beets, carrot, green apple, lemon juice, ginger, and cayenne pepper. I call it 'the blood of christ.' 🤌🏽

This is one of few places that I know to be quiet yet ambient all at the same time! I love the for-the-culture vibe that it has with a splash of urban energy. The smoothies are good I tried the ‘Currently’ which is now the replacement of the Pink Zing until they get rid of it (if the plan). I adore the Lead to Read section and that there is a high focus on comfort. The staff are also always super chill and calm🧡

First time in from Chicago! Got the grilled cheese and added salmon- so delish!! Also, purchased Vine Street Greens juice, very yummy. Can't wait to return and try some more before going back home!

I’m new in town, and heard such great things about the establishment. I have been Vegan over twenty years. I go for good Vegan food not popularity, or fads. Good Vegan food is important to me. I was assured the food was amazing, service slow. I ordered seasonal Jerk Bowl with Jerk tofu. Although we were the only patrons at the time, it took a substantial amount time to get my meal. The meal had a great texture, but tasted like tasteless cardboard, with a dash of pepper. It was somewhat visually appealing, but not palatable. I actually threw the food away, and went to an amazing restaurant called Cafe Gratitude. I was very grateful they saved my dinner!!!! Waste of time, and money. It was a sad, traumatic meal for me. Just because it is Vegan does not mean it should lack taste, seasoning, etc. Veganism is so versatile, this restaurant is on the lower end of the Vegan spectrum. P.S. The brownie was okay. 14Jul24Edit: Thank you for the standard practice, offer to remake the bowl. I have no desire to come to your facility, after the lengthy, slight filled response (from the owner) to my honest review of my encounter. It is not my job, as I am not part of your marketing/development team to give pointers on how to elevate the taste of what I ordered. Side note I’m allergic to pineapples, and removed them from the dish. I’m sure the citizens of Kansas City love your food, as they have limited Vegan options. Having lived in New York, Boston, and the Dallas/Fort Worth areas, I have become accustomed to a certain level of fresh Vegan options from different ethnic groups, and American fare. Again thank you for the offer, I humbly decline. I do not feel comfortable coming to your facility, and would not recommend anyone there. Have an amazing day!

I had the AM Scramble and the Berry Strong smoothie. Others in my group had the Power Toast and the Vegan Sweet Potato Curry. The food was fantastic and the smoothie was perfect. Berry Strong has banana in it, and for once, I had a smoothie where the banana was not over powering. It was a delicious blend. I'm planning to stop in the next time I'm in town. I want to try more at Ruby Jean's.
