Jugo Juice

I ordered a wrap and watermelon to take on the plane ride home. The wrap was stale round the edges and some pieces of melon were soft and over ripe.
Update…a few hours later. I messaged them on facebook and they’ve offered me a voucher for a free smoothie. Customer service is good at head office, but they need a shake up at the Calgary Airport location.

Love the fact that there are healthy juice options at the airport. But both juices I Got they used a majority of apple, even though one was a beet juice. I would have liked it to have more of the vitamin rich ingredients, not just apple to fill the cup up. Also, attendant was not very friendly :(

the smoothies are bland and over priced. They charge extra to add anything to it. Their wraps and flat breads are mediocre at best. Service can be ok but it’s usually not a very friendly place. I go there only because it’s the lesser evil of the fast food places inside yyc.

Considering airport service, this one’s pretty speedy. Ordered the Abundant Acai, with 2 ppl ahead of me, and by the time I decided between 2 protein bars, my smoothie was ready.
Located Domestic side by Gate C54.
A ton of other wraps on display but seriously, when they’re stacked like that, it’s not appealing to me ;(

The wrap was edible. .. . but tasteless. .. .
Stick with one of their smoothies or protein shakes.
I felt like I needed something more substantial and nutritious, so I ordered the «smoked turkey wrap». Oh man, the wrap was cardboard-​y, the meat straight out of the plastic bag, not «fire-​grilled», the cheese sparse, the honey mustard thin, but the spinach was OK. I think I was smoked, not the wrap. .. at the cash register.

I normally would rate jugo juice higher but this particular location in YYC is disappointing. Employees barely speak English with a limited vocabulary. They have an indifferent attitude and the wraps do not look fresh or inviting. When you ask for a scoop of an additive, I have caught them twice now putting less even though you pay for it. If you end up with extra juice, instead if offering to you like other locations do, they just throw it away. Very disappointing!

It’s OK. Super sized sugary smoothies and adequate sandwich served with indifferent service. Captive audience in the A gates at YYC which has little else.

You get one star for being unbearably irritated that I happened to order something that required carrots… Quite obviously, you were fresh out. «I’m sorry, apparently my telepathic abilities are not refined enough to discern that message emanating from your cryptic, soured, post-​vomit scowl»… strike one for me.
So you gracious offer to replace the carrots with extra apples. Ha ha! Fooled me once, shame on me. Fooled me twice shame on… well, shame on… somebody… look, somebody should be ashamed! (read: George W Bush)… Anyways, the damn thing already has apples, in fact, it’s like 90% apples… so why not just offer me apple juice with a wedge of pineapple and a hint of kale. So I asked for spinach and celery instead of apples… …which is why I’m writing this review from the shitter.
Pineapple, apple, kale, celery, and spinach is like the panic button for your lower intestine … TRUST ME! … One star for you!
I also ordered the southwest chicken panini… Should be safe, right?! Ok, I’ll give you that one because it might just be the only thing soaking up some of the predigested bat urine you made me drink.
The very fact that my dumbass will be back there next week (damn commitment to eat healthier!) gets you a solid three stars. But I’m warning you, if your eyes don’t S-​C-​R-​E-​A-​M, «I’ve got carrots!» I’m going to burger king, Britney!

The only thing I like at Jugo Juice is the Pomegranate Protein smoothie… there is something about the texture of this smoothie that simultaneously repulses and excites me. It’s like sucking back sweet, styrofoamy air. Unfortunately this particular airport Jugo Juice location doesn’t keep frozen blackberries on hand, so the Pomegranate Protein doesn’t appear on its menu. When I asked, the girl offered to make me one with blueberries instead of blackberries. I gave it a try and found it perfectly acceptable. Unfortunately the three people in front of me in line did not find their food acceptable– all THREE had to return their food or beverage and have it re-​made. Wrong smoothie, wrong sandwich, cold sandwich, etc… Yikes. The success rate of this place seems to be one out of four. Maybe 2013 will be the year 50% of their customers fly away satisfied!

A Jugo Juice smoothie before a long flight, is probably the worst idea in the world. But YYC Airport, in all their brilliance, put not one, but several Jugo Juice stands in their Gates. And I always wind up visiting one, because I’m incredibly disorganized before a long flight, always. And I’ll show up, starving, thirsty; eyeing the limp, wilted looking wraps in the display case as though they’re manna from the heavens. And I’ll take one bite and go from starving panda, to sad panda. To broke panda, because, as pricey as Jugo Juice is outside of the Airport confines; it’s about 25% moreso inside.
Want a cup of chunky vinegar that’s as big as your torso? Head on down to Jugo Juice. It defies logic. You watch them toss all the ingredients together in a blender, and they seem to be adding a buttload of sugary fruit (that 59g per serving doesn’t appear out of nowhere! A cup of regular OJ is 30g, for comparison). Then you take that first sip, and your face caves in. Then you force yourself to finish as much as possible, because you probably handed them your first born in order to pay for it.
Two stars, because I’ll probably be back again soon. Because as much as I gripe about Jugo Juice, it’s like a terrible boyfriend whose number I can’t seem to erase from my phone. And I still can’t manage to get to the airport with a coffee and a sandwich.
