The People’s Juicery

A little bit hard to find but worth the journey. Once i discovered this place I was so happy to try their nut milks. Soo so good! Try the brazillian nut milk. You wont be dissapointed.

Terrible, terrible organization makes this business look like total amateurs compared to all these other cold-​pressed juiceries taking over Vancouver. Neither their website nor any of their social media pages are updated so if you want to find out what’s being sold for the day on their ever-​changing menu, you’d have to personally contact them. Which is OK, I guess but rather shows a lack of effort. Several times I’ve had my custom orders dropped. Service is inconsistent. Who’s in charge of what? Sometimes I’m supposed to contact the owner for my order, sometimes I’m supposed to contact their «head juicer,» sometimes my orders gets received, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes they ignore my orders until I actually phone them up only to be told by voicemail that I should be sending a text message to the owner only to be told in a curt, unpunctuated one-​liner text I should be phoning their juicer. So, I give up. Too bad, their juices are decent (expensive– yes). No worries, none of their recipes are particularly unique and, anyway, I always have to wait 3 – 5 minutes to pay b/​c of their only consistent feature: wonky wi-​fi that their iPad cashier works on. You will definitely find LOTS of better cold-​pressed juiceries in the city.

When it comes to quality fresh pressed juice it doesn’t get better! Yes, it’s a little pricy, but that’s the cost you must pay if you don’t want pesticides in your juice. I love that they are organic, local and passionate. It’s a nice pick me up once or twice a week or a liquid lunch if your busy, don’t have time to eat but want to load up on nutrients.

a little spot tucked away in the back right corner of a yaletown mini mall i didn’t know existed! i have been meaning to come here since they opened but didn’t think it was all that convenient. it didn’t help that the one time i had walked over, they were closed for the week to catch up with cleanse orders. i posted hours as a tip soon after that but i know they have extended their opening hours since then so i hope accurate hours get included in their Unilocal profile soon.
the organic juices and mylks are made every morning and poured to the brim of glass bottles (to spare oxidation, i’m sure) to be selected from the one cooler displayed beside the counter. there are different drinks every day, as detailed on the chalkboard menu board.
they were cash-​only but, upon checking their facebook, it appears they now take visa/​mc which must have been hooked up within hours of my visit on friday!
i was a little surprised by the $ 10.50 charge. i realize organic lives undercharges at $ 7 (or are they $ 8 now?) but i figured about $ 8 for a juice here would be enough. my friend and i assumed the price included a deposit on the glass bottles to encourage their return but the girl working said it was 10 cents and not the $ 2 we figured.
they have a stamp card to make every 12^th drink free so i suppose that is comparable to paying about $ 9.55 per drink.
there’s space for a couple people to sit while staring at the daily menu board to decide but it’s set up as a takeout place so grab your fresh + fancy fluid and go sit on some grass somewhere in the sun!
we each had a cucumber/​celery/​apple/​mint/​lime which was delicious and i look forward to other «treat» days where i can come back to try other juices.
