Juice Generation

We used to go to this spot all the time. I would get the same smoothie coconut in it. We have allergies so I asked is it just coconut. The answer was yes.
Fast forward a few months and I went post work out with a friend. The staff was slower and it was not that busy and we noticed a HUGE tub of what appeared to be coconut ice cream. We asked and they said this is just coconut… Well it was not. Luckily it was just full of sugar that I could eat not anything we are allergic too in my house. We also cannot eat a lot of sugar in our family. I was so mad! This is a big issue. I am responsible I ask, I do not get angry if someone cannot accommodate but if I ask know what you are talking about!
If something had been in the premade product that I or my son cannot have it would have been REALLY dangerous. Luckily it was just sugar and nothing else.
We much prefer Juice Press. The only good things here are the booster shots in the tiny bottles. Even though they are $ 4.

I wasn’t feeling well and so happen to walked passed this place. I ordered I think what was called the flu medicine? something??? I can’t remember.
It was a really hot day and it turned out being a hot drink. The gentleman was nice enough to change it for me to make it a cold drink. Not just by dumping my juice into a cup with ice. But he re-​mixed it so the entire drink is chilled… then poured it into a cup of ice.
And the drink was SOOOO AWESOME. I wished I had order two for the road!
Thank you for the great service guys!

Amazing fresh cold pressed juices, smoothies and very unique and delicious acai bowls, that’s all I’ve tried so far and I crave it when I’m not in willy b, when I get it elsewhere it’s just not the same !! My fave is the get your green on juice, it’s a perfect combination of flavors. Service is friendly and fast.

Slow service rakes a long time to get an order. They need to hire more people to keep up with the demand.

Any place that puts ice in your $ 10+ smoothie is a crook. Go out and buy yourself some frozen fruit, organic milk of choice, and some peanut butter for $ 10. Thank me later.

I stopped in at 8 and picked up a spicy lemonade, a taco salad and a gluten free chocolate donut. Super yummy and filling. I will definitely be back.

So I went to JG after my workout class & was meeting a potential babysitter to do an interview. 1. was completely frazzled after my workout session (it was beyond intense so my mind was ALL OVER THE PLC) 2. I had a million questions going through my mind to ask the potential babysitter…
The staff was so rude. I’m obviously a new customer & it’s clear that I’m confused. When I asked where the menu was the people behind the bar and register pointed to the wall behind me and acted in a manner like I was a idiot. RUDE! My next question was «which juice would you recommend that will help with energy boost…» My question was NOT answered but instead I had a staff again point to the wall like I’m stupid. SO FREAKING RUDE!!! The people there need to be retrained on how to interact with paying customer who’s shelling out $$$ for freaking juices.
The juice itself tasted fine. The one star is for the horrible customer service. No matter how good their stuff taste DO NOT expect me to come back esp if the staff there are not helpful and so damn rude!!! Unhappy with your job then I suggest you find another one where you don’t interact with people. I get it maybe it’s because the customers you get are the local «yuppies/​hipsters/​snob moms» but seriously get your act together! We are PAYING CUSTOMERS and I was not rude one bit so to be treated the way I was is UNACCEPTABLE.

My fav: The seating area in the back– It’s very peaceful! The dining area is huge. I’m also a huge fan of the pressed juices for the day– it comes in a 6 pack; a great help after a long weekend to kick your system back to normal.
Love the acai bowl; but they only have one size which isn’t also great but it will do– I tend not to eat the entire thing so I feel like i’m wasting money.
Negative: They took away my favorite drink which included the dragonfruit; don’t understand why but I was very disappointed.
Also sometimes they smoothies taste differently then before and it’s not a small change it’s drastic. I believe the taste shouldn’t change.

Who: mom & I
Where/​when: Williamsburg, hot summer day
What: Hale to the Kale, Very Veggie
Why: Fresh and revitalizing. I can only see treating yourself to this after a decent workout or busy day. It’s way better for you than getting ice cream or a cupcake, and the way they juice teaches you how to appreciate whole foods again. The prices are high so I would recommend to spending the extra dollar or so and get the large.

Oh how I love my acaí bowls! It is difficult not to get the almond butter bliss whenever I go to Juice Generation. A bowl of acaí blended with frozen bananas and almond butter, then topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, hemp granola, coconut, and more almond butter-​how could you go wrong? I do wish they would offer a smaller size, though, since sometimes it is just too filling for what I am looking for. I also tried a vegan matcha donut but was disappointed by how little it tasted of matcha. It is also very tiny for the price.
This location has a nice seating area in the back with a glass display of various plants. However, don’t expect to sit in there long because they keep it absolutely freezing. I would like them to change the set up of the store so that it is not such a mess in the front. People paying as well as those waiting for their order to be made all must squish in the front, meaning it is difficult just to walk inside the store door.

Love this place! A little on the pricier side but everything is super fresh and well made. The staff is also great about modifying any of the menu items to fit your needs. I definitely recommend the «I love watermelon» smoothie. I wish there were more places like this in the area.

The Best

Came here for a drink after strolling outside in the hot hot weather in Williamsburg. There were not much of a line and they have a big dining area in the back. We wanted a place to rest and sit. I ordered the I Love Watermelon smoothie while my husband ordered the Mucho Mango. I like my husband’s Mucho Mango drink way more than my I Love Watermelon — my drink was lacking flavor. it was bland and lacking taste but it was only 180 calories vs my husband’s mango was 480 calories.
We enjoyed just sitting inside the air conditioned dining area. We used the bathroom — you need to code from your receipt to open the door.
Overall it’s an okay place.

This is the best juice bar I’ve ever been to. It’s pricey because it’s perfect. Their juice is solid (not hard to do), but it’s their smoothies and acai bowls that take the cake. The peanut butter split smoothie is heavenly and the protein buzz is unbelievably good for being under 300 calories, perfect for after a workout. The prepared foods in the fridge aren’t bad either, I love the raw maki roll. Keep killin it, Juice Generation.

I got two hair in my Aloha bowl. Makes me feel horrible and workers are nice and kind.
I will not coming back ever.
Jamba juice is much way better than here.

It was perfect place to take a rest during shopping in Brooklyn. i ordered pinapple juice, which taste fresh and
was a hot day in March, so I enjoyed the cold drink.

If I wouldve written this review last summer when I was eating here every week it would have easily been 4 or 5 stars. The weather finally warmed up enough for me to want to walk four blocks from the gym to get one of these, and I see the menu has changed.
Wait, technically the only thing that changed was the prices!!!
And not .50 here and there, but bowls jumped from $ 9 up to $ 11 in the space of one winter season??? Come on, seriously. F*ck that and the pretentious Manhattan horse you rode in on. I’ve only lived in this hood for 5 years and I cant even believe how much I hate it more and more every year. Will never eat here again. Sticking with Essbar on Kent where I can get way cheaper juice, no additives, and really fresh wraps, crepes, etc. Bye Juice Generation.

‘You Don’t Have Time to Make Juice Generation’ is a place where you can get a small juice that separates in 1 minute and must be drunk in 15 minutes for the low price of $ 7.95.
My Supa Dupa Greens (I pointed at it and just said ‘yeah, that’) separated immediately and tasted sickly sweet like it was mostly apple. The Defender is a turmeric ginger shot with a sprinkle of cayenne that is very worth ordering as it strengthens you and takes effect immediately. However, everyone around me is ordering Red Dragon fruit smoothies and acai bowls.
Because this is actually ‘Smoothie Generation’ or rather ‘Acai Bowl Generation’. I ordered the PB Acai bowl annoyed that I didn’t know. Its a decorative little cake of a bowl topped with granola, cacao nibs, with peanut butter in the middle and a circle of banana. It is a delicious $ 8 breakfast that you can make yourself at home. The slight tang of berry goes well with the excellent peanut butter and toppings when you mix them. And I’m basically a Peanut Butter Wolf so i love the thing. It also has a strengthening effect, it seems.
This place is good in a pinch. Go home and make your own healthy foods.

Every time I went into the city, whether I was hungry or not, I would stop into a Juice Generation and get my Dad and I am acai bowl. I LOVE them. And so does my Dad. So happy a place opened up only a mile from me, either a nice jog or quick car ride away.
Friendly staff, beautiful inside to relax and enjoy whatever you bought.

FRESH COCONUT JUICE!
The juice places in the west coast don’t have this so I’m super stoked that they have it here. People pay lots of money for coconut water, coconut juice, etc. and usually it’s a lot of money for something close to fresh but not really. BUT in this case, fresh is cheaper! My favorite bottle of coconut juice is $ 6.50 but for roughly $ 5 here, I can get a fresh coconut. And it’s sooooo good!
I also tried their watermelon smoothie which had a blend of various fruits and watermelon. I thought their smoothie was good, comparable to jamba juice but they use fresher ingredients here. The only thing about this location is the wait. When it gets crowded, it takes them so long to make a smoothie. So if you’re a patient person then you won’t mind this so much.
