They are usually out of some ingredients by lunchtime, which makes me think they have a bit of a supply/ordering issue. I usually need to get substitutes, which aren’t that great but passable. If they need to substitute ingredients, they should give a small discount.

A Unilocaler’S review of the day brought me here! I am glad I found A great juice bar, besides boba lol I ordered the same drink she got(the monkey?) I liked my fruit shake. Price was bit high but but kept me full till lunch time. Maybe some mornings I’ll skip caffeine with a sugar rush 4 som3 healthy protein fruit shake. I will be coming back soon, but def will try something new on the menu.

I am loving the explosion of juice bars in the area, after I move away of course. I had a nice green juice. No complaints.

Great juice selection. My favorite is the Buddha Beet with extra ginger — sooooo good. They have lots of smoothies and acai bowl options too, but I’ve mostly stuck with juices so far. I’d like to try the cherry blah-some smoothie next time I go, but my coworkers swear by the Bad Monkey. Juices and smoothies aside, one of my favorite things about juice are their energy bites. They are tasty little creations made with peanut butter and oats and chia and flax and other healthy things that are juuuuuust the right size for a mid-day snack. And only $ 2 for 2!

After looking at all the other reviews, it’s definitely possible I ordered the wrong thing. I got a berry smoothie with kale and almond butter, but it was thin and not yummy at all. I was also a bit shocked at the price($ 9.50?), even in Boston. I order something similar at Mother Juice in the Boston Public Market, and it has the most filling, wonderful taste to it. Not the same here. On the other side, the establishment is very clean and the staff was very friendly.

Came in here today for the first time because I’ve been having smoothies in the morning and was running late today and couldn’t make my own. The staff were extremely friendly and beyond helpful. She told me her favorite and also told me their popular drinks. I went with one of the green smoothies and it was delicious. Perfect texture and it held me over for a few hours. I definitely recommend this place and will be back if i’m ever in the area!

Bad Monkey. Just go and order it. Yeah, you’re welcome. I happened to get to the office a bit early and craved something healthy, but a tad more filling than a green juice. I walked over to Thirst, which was open bright and early. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no line. Actually, I lied(rude!) I’m the worst with making decisions on the spot, so not having a line was terrible. In any case, I(like any good indecisive person) looked at the menu beforehand and had my order planned out… or so I thought. While standing in the non-existent line(#partyofone), I noticed they offered«add ons» for smoothies. Obviously, my reaction was, «Heck yes! Let’s do this, smoothie!» since I(like any rational human) want my smoothies to give me superpowers(think Popeye/spinach effect) or at least hold me over until lunch. Anyway, I ordered the Bad Monkey smoothie without dates and added their protein powder(vegan-friendly). It came out to about $ 10 and kept me full until the afternoon. I read a couple reviews commenting on their smoothies having too much ice. This wasn’t the case for me. It had a great milkshake-like consistency. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Staff was great and the menu has a lot of options. I appreciate that they acknowledge the smoothies have ice in them(many places don’t), but there was too much ice for a $ 9+ smoothie; enough that it had an icy taste/consistency that unfortunately overtook what could have been a great smoothie. I’d rather have it be smaller(they’re big at 24oz) and just the quality ingredients they do use.

Great little juice place right near the Omni Parker House where I have been staying. Super nice people running the shop. The menu offers a number of attractive juice, smoothie and acai bowl combinations. I have tried the Mint Condition smoothie which contains: mint, pineapple, blueberries, cucumber, ginger, coconut water & hemp seeds, which was absolutely delicious. For juice I tried the Melon Ball which is cantaloupe, kale, apple & ginger. Very refreshing. They also have coffee, tea, oatmeal, acai bowls, and soups. I would make this a regular spot if I lived here. Wish they had a loyalty card or app though.

Maybe I just don’t get the juice craze. I was feeling under the weather and thought a gulp of some greens and ginger might perk me up. It hit the spot, but I paid $ 9 for a 16 oz juice. Is that normal? Next time I’ll just hit up the grocery store for a bottle of Bolthouse Farms.

The small establishment has a very nice décor and a clean environment. There was no line so I don’t know how well they’re doing. I tried the Cheer Blawesome and found it very bland. There was absolutely no hint of cherries, banana, etc., just mostly crushed ice. So far the best smoothies have been at B. Good(The Kale Crush) and Jamba Juice in California(anything).

Totally diggin’ the spot in Downtown Crossing for their fresh juices and acai bowls(side note: I’m thrilled acai bowls are catching on here on the East Coast since I thought I’d only be able to find them in Hawaii, which is where I first experienced them). Thirst is a tad pricey but I’m pretty sure it’s on par with what other juice bars are charging so I’m OK with it. Kudos to the great team working there… I hope they do really well and open more spots!

Came here last week and had the melon ball and peanut butter acai bowl. Both were delicious! We were here with a fairly large group and service was great — it was quick and one of the owners was there and was super sweet. I’ll be back for sure. The peanut butter acai bowl was surprisingly filling(you know, for being fruit). The peanut butter gave it some substance. I’m craving it now!

I came here first because I got a gilt voucher but this is probably now my favorite juice/smoothie place in Boston. Their menu offers a large enough variety so that there’s something there for everyone. at the same time, they don’t have an overwhelming amount of options with every possible fruit and supplement combination, unlike their competitors. They offer multiple types of shots instead of just wheatgrass. Also, their add ins list is super extensive and high quality. They use barney’s nut butters and their vegan protein is raw. It’s pretty easy to get acai bowls nowadays but I love that thirst offers really unique combinations. I fell in love with their spinach pear one and also the spicy chocolate chili acai bowl. I went as far as reading the juice jargon page on their website because I’ve been so obsessed with this place and I’m so glad I did! The owners seem like awesome people who truly care about their customers health and well being over profits. I’ll definitely be coming here a lot! I wish they had a frequent buyer program or punch card. The only downside is I find that their prices are on the steep side. It’s almost impossible for me to spend less than $ 10 there.

I tried a peanut butter acai bowl here, and I really liked the flavor. Tasted great. That said, I’m not sure it was made correctly. Like I said, the flavor was really good, but it sort of felt like I was eating baby food. Basically just eating a smoothie with a spoon. The bowl consisted of the blended acai, blueberries etc, and a small sprinkling of granola on top, and one(1) random piece of a banana at the bottom. Like I said the flavor was great, but with the almost total lack of anything to munch on it would’ve been better in a cup to slurp. I think the bowl would be much better with some extra granola on top, more than one piece of a sliced banana(like I said maybe that was just a mistake), and maybe even some whole blueberries on top too. This way it’d be more of a tasty bowl than just a smoothie I’m eating with my spoon. Would definitely come back for that.

I could not be happier that Thirst Juice Co. opened up around the corner from City Hall. They offer a creative selection of fresh pressed juice combinations, but also allow their customers to create unique juice combinations of their own. Additionally, they offer delicious kale/quinoa salad and vegan/glutton-free soups. Finally, the service is friendly, inviting and, more often than not, quick. I know I sound over-the-top but, no, this is not a paid advertisement! They’re just THAT good! Enjoy. ;-)

Wow! I can’t say enough great things about this place! The owners are the most wonderful people. Heather was so knowledgeable about the nutritional benefits of each ingredient and the ways in which they combine. She helped my friends and I choose the perfect combination of flavors to meet our individual tastes and needs. I loved the apple-ginger-turmeric-lemon shot; my muscles were sore after a long run and a long day of touring around Boston, and the shot definitely gave them the jump start and rejuvenation they needed. It was served on an adorable little plate with an orange slice to use as a «chaser.» And it was delicious! Everything is fresh and made right before your eyes. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Boston!

Walgreens has a juice bar right next door… juice is juice, right? Well, maaaaaybe… but highly doubtful! This place is great — tiny little spot with a great, bright vibe, great service and(most important) juice that is treated and made well! Oh the smoothies, too… you can’t go wrong there either. The soup looks worth a shot to come back and try sometime. I feel a high level of promise for that. Go try it out and support a great little new local business — and I mean, it’s juice, so it’s pretty healthy for you!!! You really can’t go wrong!

This place has the best juices, smoothies and soups! So good! Definitely my new Boston favorite. Such a healthy breakfast and lunch option. I just had my first Perivian Pick Me Up and wow! I’ve never had maca and almond milk before and it was delicious. The chunks of fresh dates are also a really fun and pleasant surprise. The fresh bottled juices are also amazing. I had the Kale Apple Cantaloupe Ginger Melon Ball and sooo tasty! The ginger gives it a little bit of edge. Can’t wait to come back and be a regular!!!
