Juice Generation

Horrible! Waste of money. I got «Get your green on» juice that is supposed to have kale, spinach, pineapple, apple and mint. What i got was pure sugar. I couldnt taste neither kale nor spinach, not even pineapple or mint. Just an apple flavored sugary liquid. Couldnt drink it. To get smth like that for $ 10 is absolutely aggravating.

Fast, friendly service and a delicious, filling PB acai bowl. Presentation was lovely, wish I actually took a picture. Nice treat every once in a while (since it’s so pricey and a bit of a hike from my apartment).

Juice Generation appeals to me because they make their juices right in front of you, so you can see how they make them and verify that the the ingredient list is valid. This location is clean and efficient. They have a variety of pre-​made juices, as well as freshly prepared to order juices, smoothies, and «elixirs.» Their prepared foods also are well stocked and appear fresh and refrigerated at a health-​grade friendly temperature.
Nothing against this location, but rather the chain in general tends to put a lot of emphasis on apple juice as an ingredient in their drinks. In my opinion, this is essentially a filler ingredient. I have asked for them to substitute other produce, and the reply is always «there will be an extra charge.» I don’t get how lemon or cucumber is more costly than apple, but whatever. I am not a toddler and I don’t want to pay that much money for a tiny kale-​flavored apple juice.
If you are in the area, and want a juice, I do recommend Juice Generation over the juice press next door.

I love the almond smoothie. YUM

OMG this is the best vegan place in NYC. Their fast, fun, super friendly and really helpful. The best acai bowls in NYC hands down. I love this place in in here almost everyday.
The best… keep up the great work!

I passed this place and the smell of fresh juice made me stop and go in. I got one of the green juices (the one with pineapple) and it was amazing! This place is expensive ($ 10 for a large juice) but so is every other juicing place with a storefront. This was one of the best I’ve had. Will definitely come again next time I want to treat myself.

mango smoothie at Juice Generation is really worth every dollar I payed, so fresh and healthy, great way to replenish energy after workout.

Amazing juice and really yummy acai bowls. I personally like the hail to kale juice and the PB acai bowl.
It’s super expensive but well worth it if you’re in the area. It’s not an everyday thing, since it’s so expensive. But if you can afford it GO FOR IT!
Large runs juice about 9 $ and the acai bowls are like 11 $

Maybe it’s just because I have yet to catch on to the juicing trend, but I still don’t get how $ 7 for blended up fruit makes sense in any universe.
I was wandering around the UES the other day. It was super hot out, so I was in the mood for some kind of cold beverage or dessert. I’d remembered Juice Generation because one of my friends is a big fan of them, so I did a quick search to see if there were any locations near where I was. This one was just a couple of minutes away, so I dropped by.
I had the watermelon smoothie, which is watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. They asked me what kind of sweetener I wanted, which I decided to go without, because I figured that the fruit would be sweet enough. It wasn’t — the taste of the smoothie was kind of neither here nor there, which I was really disappointed by. This isn’t Juice Generation’s fault per se, but watermelon is pretty sweet on its own, y’know? And when it’s blended, it should have about the same flavor. So I don’t know if it’s because the fruit they were using wasn’t ripe, or because you really need the extra sweetener to make it taste good, or what. Either way, it was underwhelming, especially with a $ 7 price tag.
Ugh… I don’t know, guys. $ 7 for fruit in a blender. I just don’t get it.

So I love this place and their pricey juices but the fact I found a full leaf of spinach in my smoothie leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I enjoyed the smoothie but dont appreciate that it wasn’t blended well enough that a whole leaf of spinach was left intact.

Mucho mango is the yummiest smoothie ever! I really like this place because I feel like unlike other smoothies chain is not full of syrup and sugar! Its just a little pricey but then again, aren’t all smoothie places?
Definitely my go-​to after a workout

I literally come here everyday. I either have a Green Juice, Joyful Almond with Kale or PB Acai Bowl with Spinach. The PB Acai bowl is so good I seriously close my eyes and cry silent tears of joy. The prices are not at all cheap but I am particular about what I put in my body and I don’t mind the extra cost. I don’t ever see any women working here but the guys are all super nice and polite and there is one in particular who is a cutie (!!!). Of all the times I’ve come here, I have only had one incident of being charged for an ingredient I didn’t ask for. I didn’t sweat it much cause I was HANGRY.

The best place, I ordered the protein knock out –44gm of protein. Simply the best :)

Staff is always really friendly. The drinks are moderately priced ann the consistency is always same. (which is actually a good thing). I highly recommend their daily detox if you want to lose some weight! The Arizona All-​Star is okay little too sweet for me, and too much ice.
*** my two cents, if you’re looking to stay in shape and eat healthy it’s definitely a great place to go for a quick pick me up!

I ordered the 20 oz. of the «Supa Dupa Green» and it was tasty! I must admit, right before placing my order I was skeptical. The person right in front of me came back and said she found a screw in her drink. The screw was half the size of a nickel in the palm of her hand. The employees apologized to her and offered her a new drink. Regardless of the person’s experience, I tried the drink and was pleasantly pleased. My drink was tasty and tasted fresh. I just got done working out for 1.5 hours at the gym two blocks away. I was in need of some nourishment and definitely came to the right spot.

Joyful almond is sooooooooooooooooooooo good. It’s like you’re treating yourself to a decadent dessert but without feeling guilty! I love this for after a workout in substitute of a meal! It’s filling but not heavy!
Hale to Kale is another favorite of mine… esp if you like watermelon!

So happy that this place extended their hours on weekdays til 10pm. It was 10pm before… I would rush there from the gym and sometimes they would close before I got there.
Smoothies: Joyful Almond is absolutely sinful… cacao nibs, almond milk, coconut icecream… mmmmm. It leaves you full. The multi-​V squeeze with Hemp protein gives me energy after a workout.
Green Juice: Hale to Kale all the way. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of watermelon, but this drink is refreshing.
Shots: Have them all when you need a little immunity boost: They have things in them like tumeric, oregano oil… lemon, orange, etc, I swear by oregano oil…
Prepared Foods: Their kale with avocado salad with lemon dressing and raisins is excellent. I usually split it over two lunches it’s so big. They have other interesting dishes too like Maki rolls and enchiladas. All good. Everything is raw so it may take you awhile to chew :)
The prices could be a little cheaper, but overall this place is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Walked past it, was feeling a real craving for a good beverage… and this was not it.
Place was clean and staff was friendly — mind you I was also their only customer at 9:50pm. I ordered the mucho mango, a orange based juice smoothie that tasted far too much like orange and not at all like mango. In all honesty it tasted mostly like a fresh squeezed orange juice with some additional pulp and for $ 6.40, it was too steep for something that tasted so basic. Maybe some of the other flavors are better, but I doubt I will come back to find out.
Additional gripe: why are the straws so long? As far as I can tell the cups are all one size so why are the straws not in regular proportion?

I happened to walk passed Juice Generation after hot yoga since its right next to it and was interested to see what they offered. My first impression was that it was in comparison with Orange Julius (i dont know why)… boy was I wrong!
They serve cold press juice, along with fresh smoothies, acai bowls, fresh coconuts and a display of vegan muffins!
I have yet to try their fresh juice, but what I was craving was an acai bowl. I first tried their Almond Butter Bliss Acai Bowl– WOW! it was heaven on earth! Their almond butter bliss was enough to get me to go again the following day after a grueling 14 mile run… I then got their PB acai bowl… it was even better than the first!
I’m so excited to try their fresh press juice! I will definitely update this review!

I’m pretty new to juicing/​juice bars, but since becoming obsessed with Juice Press, I’ve been looking for other places to check out. I pass by Juice Generation daily on my way to the subway, so I figured I would give it a try and oh, am I so, so, so glad I did. Forget Juice Press, it’s all about Juice Generation (well, not entirely, I’ll still have a soft spot for the sin-o-bun’s.)
I had the Joyful Almond and it was absolutely delicious, and slightly resembled Juice Press’s Black Label, which is why I got it (I love Black Label.) I actually liked it better than Black Label and it was way more filling. Next I want to try the Peanut Butter Split because that seems to be a pretty popular one. Also, they filled it to the brim — I read a few reviews that they can rip you off and not fill the cup all the way, but this was definitely not the case.
The staff was awesome — friendly and efficient. I went in the morning and it was kind of like a juice bar version of Starbucks — crowded with everyone waiting for drinks — but the staff was (visibly) working so hard and there was hardly any wait time.
See you tomorrow morning, Juice Generation!
Side note: I also can’t wait to try the snacks/​foods!
