Juice It Up!

I went in with my friend not having any money and when she got her drink the worker who made the drink gave me a smaller cup with some in it ! Very sweet i was super surprised and they say things that are free taste better but i think juice it up is just really good

I always like Juice It Up in comparison to Jamba Juice; however, they keep rising their price ! Although it is cheaper than Nekter, right now the price of the Acai Berry Bowl is almost the same ($ 7.45)!! The first time I bought it, it was only $ 6.30 and i keep coming back because it is definitely cheaper than Jamba. But now however, I have to think twice if I want to go here because of the expensive price. If they can keep it as low as possible, they’ll definitely beat Nekter, Sunlife, and Jamba.
If they want to make the price higher, they should make their bowl bigger because Nekter has bigger size.

I’ve always preferred Juice it Up juices compared to the more widely found Jamba Juice locations. I don’t know why, but I just prefer the Juice it Up taste & given that there aren’t that many locations near me, actually making it to a Juice it Up location is always calls for an extra shot… of boost (haha).
This Juice It Up location is located off of Hill in an off-​white painted small plaza that seems almost like the store fronts were actually meant to be used as professional office buildings, but instead got converted into spaces where a Starbucks and Juice it Up now sit side by side to each other. The parking lot for these two shops is actually located to the left hand side of the Starbucks instead of the parking lot to the right of Juice It Up (which is for another professional plaza).
When you walk into Juice it Up, you’ll immediately notice that there really isn’t a lot of people in there. Maybe on a hot day, there’s a larger crowd, but because this Juice It Up is a little off the way for most people, especially crowds that usually request bigger shopping plazas; most of the people in the store are usually patrons of nearby restaurants wanting to grab a drink, or people like me who really just wants their juice from Juice it Up.
The counter is in your direct line of vision as you walk right in and past the little display case of potato chips they sell. The menu is on the wall, but don’t feel like you’re obligated to have to order only from the menu. What a lot of people don’t know and often are afraid to ask and question is the ability to customize your own drink. Well, why not? Sometimes people are so lost trying to conform their taste buds to what’s on the menu that they forget that they don’t have to and are not limited to. Order what you want and ask them to remove and add whatever you want in your drink. It’s your drink so you might as well make it your own!
I always order my usual & always find it refreshingly chilled & tasty, hot summer day or cold chilly night. why? Because it’s my own customized drink & I made it the way I want it to taste.

My friend & I came here because we were craving acai bowls after our hike at Eaton Canyon. I decided on the Ultimate Berry Bowl ($ 7.45) while my friend settled for the Super Fusion Bowl. Although it was a little pricy for the size, I thought it was pretty good! It wasn’t overly sweet, had a nice consistency, and was loaded with fresh fruit. Aside from that, there wasn’t anything particularly special about this place but I really appreciated how the workers gave us extra granola on the side for free. Other places would charge you for extra granola so it was a nice gesture on their part.

ALL the food here is great! Been coming here for two years and they have fresh fruit which makes it healthier and taste better. The service here is always amazing!

This location is my favorite for Acai bowls. Sachi provided excellent customer service, she is Genuine, knowledgeable, Welcoming and Considerate. I’ll most definitely going to be a regular customer at this establishment. The only thing I would change is the is of polyurethane materials (Styrofoam) but that’s a note for the owner.

Good drinks here but I came in today for a drink and gave them my punch card. I have 9 punches and after today it will be my 10^th and I should have a free drink finally the next time I come in. They tell me «o we don’t do the punch cards any more». What a bunch of BS. I guess this is the last time I come here.
I hate the bait and switch.

always friendly and the acai bowls are awesome! Been coming here for like 10 years now!

Mehhhhh I’ve had better! Pitaya and the acai bowl were lacking flavor. Toppings were fresh though. That’s all I can say. I don’t want to give them a one star since it did get the job done, customer service was good and they already have low reviews as it is.

Love the acai bowls! Or maybe I just love the fact that they even make acai bowls. Either way their acai bowls are a nice alternative if you need something healthy-​ish. I added the «ish» because these babies are LOADED with sugar. I tried the Mayan and the Ultimate Berry Bowl and they were definitely on the sweeter side. Perhaps I’ll skip the honey next time but then what’s the point? lol
The bowls were better than nekter imho and definitely cheaper. I also like the fact that they let you call in orders ahead, unlike Nekter which does not take call-​in orders in an effort to force you to install their silly app to order. Basically Juice It Up beats Nekter.
Although the bowls were good they are not even on the same level as the ones you can find in Hawaii. They are however, pretty good for the area.
P. S. Don’t forget to try the Mayan bowl oh and parking is located in the back lot behind Starbucks. Cheers!

Okay y’all, I had low expectations judging by the previous reviews posted here. I’ve been on the hunt for the best acai bowls in LA county and this place wasn’t all that bad. In fact, it was pretty good. My friend and I ended up getting the acai berry bowl and the lady was kind enough to ask us if we wanted any super powder (?). I said yes only because it sounded like I will gain some super magic awesome power. I think I got some soy stuff I’m not sure. Either way it didn’t alter the taste of my acai bowl. The acai bowl was so refreshing. It had the right amount of sweetness that reminded me of the acai bowls at UBATUBA. This one however was not too sweet, it had a perfect amount of sweetness. Ooooo and shout out to the lady that gave us extra granola, since I tend to eat all the granola before I devour the acai. Not to mention the fact that it was my friend’s first time eating an acai bowl and she loved it! Awesome job Juice It Up!

This place posted they open up at 8:30 AM, it’s now 8:36 and no one is there. Is this how they do business?

Only steps from my office. I’ve been visiting the store 4 times a week. Amazing staff; courteous, quick, acknowledge all visitors, happy and kind. The smoothies are delicious, refreshing and consistent. Thank you for the great experience.

Hmm. I really wanted to like Juice It Up, but it wasn’t that great compared to all the other juice and smoothie options you have now. The girl that helped me was very nice, but after me, she was bombarded with customers and was the only one working!
Back to the quality of the drinks. I order an acai berry bowl, a juice and two smoothies. I don’t like that the «yogurt» offered for the smoothies is in sorbet form. It made the smoothies way too sweet. The acai berry bowl was ok, pretty standard, but I got duped on my berries. I also asked for no honey, but that was put on there. I also don’t like to return things when the mistakes are huge.
And on top of all this, the prices were a bit high. So as much as I might come back out of convenience if this were the only juice place around, I’ve definitely experienced a better juice/​smoothie experience at other establishments.

I love Juice It Up, but… My husband and I went there last night and ordered two classic smoothies: Melon Madness and Lava Flow. In the middle of the night, we both woke up violently ill with all of the classic symptoms of food poisoning. Juice It Up was the only thing that we ate in common all day. So we don’t know if it was the strawberries, bananas, or non-​fat yogurt that is used in both smoothies that made us sick, but it was one of them. We have now spent all day being ill, and I am 3 months pregnant. Scary!

We walked in and there were maybe 5 or 6 other people in there. We waited a couple of minutes and then purchased our smoothies, four of them, three small and one large. We got there at three oclock after a long day on set for a film. We figure, «yeah theres five or six people here, this shouldn’t take more than 10 – 15 minutes, right?» wrong.
After 15 minutes, we do not have one smoothie of the four we ordered and many more people had come in simce, and i swear to god they were serving those people first. At fifteen minutes, i leave my friends to wait for the smoothies while i go get my lunch at Melt I, which is a block away. at melt it, they tell me my food will take about ten minutes, so i texted my friend and told them to just go to the car once they get the drinks and wait for me.
Ten minutes or so pass, almost 30 minutes since we ordered the smoothies. I get my lunch and walk to the car. They arent there. I go back into juice it up, and there they are, WITH NO DRINKS AT ALL YET.
So i stand with them and wait. Ten more minutes pass. a Total of forty minutes, before we get one smoothie in our hands. One of four. After about five or sox more minutes we get the second. Then the staff continues to make smoothies that are not ours fir about 15 more minutes until we ask whats taking so long because we need to be somewhere at 5:30 to film something else. Turns out they forgot to make the last two.
So after an hour and fifteen minutes, we finally get all four smoothies. Remember how i said we ordered three small and a large? We got two larges, a medium, and one small.
They couldn’t even bother to get the right sizes, but we weren’t going to ask for them to fix it, it already took them wayyyy to long.
A guy even stepped forward at about half an hour in and angrily asked for a refund because he had to be somewhere.
I recommend you do not go to this juice it up. If youre willing to drive a little out of your way, i recommend you go to the la crescenta juice it up, where they’ll serve you in under fifteen minutes and have competent staff or even go to Jamba juice in pasadena instead.
If i could rate zero stars, i probably would.

Tried this place for the first and ordered their acai bowl. Looked amazing with blueberries, strawberries, bananas and granolas on top. Tasted so refreshing and good! Will definitely try one of their smoothies next time. Wait was a bit long. Only one employee working when I went.

Ordered the acai berry bowl and was somewhat disappointed. I paid around 6 – 7 bucks for a smoothie bowl with granola that melted pretty quickly. It didn’t live up to my expectations and the fruit wasn’t very fresh, just tasted frozen. Customer service was good though and I liked how I got two extra cups filled with smoothie and granola when I ordered it to go.

My drinks are always yummy! They make them well and are always flavorous! I like the staff because they are friendly and quick to making your drinks. It might take a little longer when there is a line but that happens everywhere. posting will be tough some days but aside from that great service and location.

Very very mehhh. Ordered the «The Ultimate Berry Bowl» for $ 5.5ish which was supposed to consist of: organic Açai, guarana, strawberries, blueberries & strawberry juice topped with sliced banana & strawberries, organic omega-​3 granola & honey.
I got it to go and was surprised to find that it actually wasn’t topped w anything but granola and bananas, no strawberries or blueberries at all. I’m sure they blended juice into the mixture because it tasted very «from concentrate”-ish, not so tasty and def too sweet, despite the fact that I skipped the honey.
So, I did what most people would do: took a few bites to figure out what was going on and then left the rest of it where it belonged… in it’s container and into the nearest trash receptacle.
I hate wasting food. I mean, I absolutely abhor it. However, there are circumstances where food doesn’t travel well (that is, it’ll get too melty for me to bring it along until I find a homeless person to offer it to) so I have to just throw it away — see what you did, Juice It Up!?! You made me one of those awful wasteful people. I’m mad at you. :|

Four stars only because of the wait time! I’ll probably update my review to 5 because I’m in love with my pitaya bowl and I’m psyched to try out other bowls.
Anyways, stepping into the store, the poor girl had to prepare 3 other smoothies, 1 bowl, and take an order on the phone before even taking my order– couldn’t blame her, she was being as fast as she can. (She was also super sweet.)
Anyways, I got the pitaya passion bowl ($ 6.95) to go– really delicious. I think they give you something a little extra when you order to go? (The remainder of the smoothie and more granola). Anyways it is raw pitaya, soy milk, passion juice blend, strawberries & bananas, topped with organic omega-​3 granola, fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries & a drizzle of honey.
But the best part of the bowl is that granola damnnnn. I dont know what it is a combination of but it is SO GOOD.

Four and a half years since my last review, and things have definitely improved here at Juice It Up.
There’s still inconsistent wait times, but now at least 50% of the staff is marginally competent, so there’s an even chance that you won’t wait 15 minutes for your order despite there only being two other people in the store (not an exaggeration: it’s happened on more than one occasion.)
So yeah, two or maybe three star service, but why has no one ever told me about Brazilian Blend Bowls? Yeah, I’ve seen them listed on the menu, and I’ve seen some people order them, but they didn’t look exactly appetizing: neon colored gruel laced with granola and sliced bananas.
Sounds disgusting you say?
Nirvana in a bowl. Truly one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had for under $ 6. Try the Mayan bowl. What makes it Mayan, you might ask? I too, feared a still beating heart, but no, apparently it’s the peanut butter.
Organic Açai, guarana, banana, peanut butter, chocolate soy milk & strawberry juice topped with sliced banana, organic omega-​3 granola & honey.
I think «organic omega-​3» is code for multiple orgasms, honey.

YUMMMMM! I love fruits and even better when they’re all juiced up :) But actually I come here mostly to get my acai bowl fix. I had my first acai bowl ever in Juice it up (not this location though) and I thought it was the best thing ever. I’m sure there are other place that specialize in acai bowls, but for now… this is my go-​to spot. If anyone around the area knows of any places that has acai bowls in the 626, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
But in the mean time I will be here for them :) They’re SOO GOOD. And you have to get honey on top. It makes a difference. Basically it’s acai smoothie, topped with muesli/​granola (?) and bananas, then drizzled with honey. Unless you don’t want honey. You WANT honey on it though. Really. lol
Usually when I go, it’s after work, so it ranges from 6PM — 9PM. And during this time, there is ALWAYS only one guy working. He’s very nice and all, but sometimes it takes foreeeeeever. It’s literally one guy in one shop, taking orders and making drinks himself. One man juice shop?! Lol he might need a lil help.

Solid Fruit Smoothie.
It was pretty quiet the morning we went. They only had one girl behind the counter. She wasn’t the most customer service oriented person but she wasn’t rude or bad.
It did take about ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes for us to get two smoothies and a shot of wheat grass. A long time if you ask me. But then again, only one employee. In the long run, I am okay with the wait if I am getting a solid product and don’t have to fight a herd of customers.
