Fresh Press Juice

Being a cranford local, I am so happy that this place is here. The service is fast & friendly, and They have lots of fresh, healthy and delicious options. They have a wide variety of juices (hangover helper is my favorite even if I’m not hungover lol), for smoothies the «kale girl» is great and the «energizer monkey» if you’re a coffee drinker. I also love their acai bowls. Asked for it mixed with the banana whip, it’s amazing!

Tried this place on a whim after a brutal spin class at the gym and I’m SO HAPPY I did! Super fast, friendly, and delicious experience! I love the menu and can’t wait to explore it. But that will be hard to do because the «Kale Girl» rocked my world!!!

I love this place. They are really nice and everything is fresh, tasty and made the way you want it!

As excited as I was for there to be a healthy alternative to snacking near my college, I almost knew it was to good to be true. I personally have no problem paying a little more for fresh, organic and quality ingredients but when a person walks through the door (ready to spend $ 8-​$ 11 on a beverage), how about the person be hide the counter stops their personal conversation to say «Hello» or «Welcome»… Anyways, the juice was just OK — it was nice to see how fresh the ingredients and to see them freshly cutting them; huge down side was how warm the drink was. The raw snacks they have by the counter were AMAZING! The date balls covered in coconut flakes were one of the best raw snacks that I have had in a very long time. I also ordered an Acai Bowl; which was very simple yet super tasty.

I was psyched when they first opened bc of their convenience to the places I stop in for breakfast. But after a few trips here over the past few months I’ve realized just how pricey this place is. Their largest size is about 16 oz and it’s around $ 9. Quality is still good but for the cost, it just isn’t worth it.

Fresh Press Juice Co. is an absolute gem! I had the most delicious butternut squash soup topped with cashews and scallions and Maca Me Crazy smoothie which was outstanding! The homemade granola bars are addicting! I want to ship them as gifts to friends. The sisters who own it are the most welcoming and friendly ladies you will meet. You feel like you’ve known them for years. I plan to make this a regular stop when I’m in the area. It’s a bonus when you get delicious food and it’s good for you. Don’t just walk, run there for your next meal!

Really cool vibe and great customer service. More choices than I assumed. Looking forward to going back. Also, good pricing.

It was fantastic on another trip from back out west to come to my hometown and to meet one of the owners and to see how much care and passion goes into the business. Still unbelievably thrilled to go to Cranford and there is actually cold pressed juice!!! Awesome!

I appreciate this place since it gives a quick healthy option for smoothies and juices. It’s a bit pricey to be honest as most drinks are $ 9+, but they are pretty tasty. I’m very familiar with the cost going into making juices since I make them at home from time to time, just seems a little bit much for a small portion.
There is also the challenge of going inside when it’s next to Cranford Bagel which seems to win me over 9 times out of 10!

I came for the açaí bowl and was a bit disappointed to see that it wasn’t actually a bowl, but a cup of açaí. It made it difficult to mix all the fruit and granola with the açaí, and it wasn’t super aesthetically pleasing (I’m a believer in eating what looks nice). You do get to choose your own fresh fruit to top it off though. The taste was pretty good otherwise. The place was small and we had to wait a long time for three açaí «bowls» because only one woman was working there. They should probably schedule a few other people per shift.

This place is the best for quality, fresh, and organic ingredients. So far, I love everything I’ve tried. My favorites are the Tropical and Maca Me Crazy smoothies. The Young Thai Coconut adds an extra boost of deliciousness to them. I ordered the banana whip for my 10 month old daughter and it’s such a delight watching her eat something so healthy and simple. She loves it! When you walk in, the place smells like a juice place – you know you’re about to get something refreshing and clean for your taste buds. The women who own it are super friendly and warm. The location is awesome since it’s so close to the train ride to work and I never have to worry about rushing. I love this place and will always be back.

Banana whip was awesome.
The protein powder made my drink taste like butt, so I’m not including that in my review. :D

The best thing that’s come to cranford. the juice always taste fresh. My son loves the banana whip. And nothing is better then serving my child a frozen treat with just one ingredient. It’s all organic which is awesome. I love the variety of fresh press juices and smoothies. Think I have tried every one. My favorite is kale girl. Also the hummus they make and other healthy foods are really good. I always feel good after eating anything from there. The two sisters who own this place work hard and it shows.

LOVE ! The owners are super sweet. Excellent juices and food. My favorites are the banana whip (with cinnamon and coconut on top) and the Acai Bowl

So nice to have an all organic healthy place local. Staff is friendly and welcoming, food products are simple but deliver. As is typical, place like this expensive but it’s your health so stop being the cheap guy ordering off the dollar menu and grab a juice, your body can afford it.

Lately I have been getting the cold pressed Juice, Homerun, great to take and go for later, this way I have them for a few days. And they give you a punch card for when your purchase 10, your next one is free.

While waiting for my son at a nearby event, i used Happy Cow to find Vegan fare, and Fresh Press Juice Co. looked great!
Parking was convenient, though you have to pay up until 6pm, it’s easy and could be coin free if you are stuck with just your credit card.
The shop is cute and super clean. There are enough tables to bring a group, and super casual and fun to relax and enjoy!
The food… I was coming in at 5:30pm, so I missed the goodies of the day (soup menu said Kale and White Bean) — but that says 2 things to me: 1. The food is freshly made, and 2. it’s popular! I hope to return one day and try all their menu items, but I got a fresh made Kale salad and a smoothie. I enjoyed both tremendously! The salad was packed with delicious kale, apples, carrots, raisins, and tahini — cut fresh to order! I ordered a coffee, chocolate almond milk, banana, almonds and date smoothie… delish! I don’t drink coffee often, but this was swoon worthy!
I did not try the juice, but I was impressed by the menu and add ins. They carry E3 Live and Brain On, have sweet wheat grass, and vegan protein! I take juicing kinda seriously, and understand that Cold Pressed typically means a Norwalk is involved! I was thrilled to see that their juice cleanses are made with the Norwalk, and they juice nightly! Their grab-​n-​go are made with a centrifugal juicer which is excellent for quick consumption. I asked politely if they used Organic fruits and Veggies… (nothing destroys my sanity more than a juicery that uses non organic fruits and veggies) and Lauren (owner/​sister) was as adamant as I about this being a necessity… and YES… all their fruits and veggies are Organic!
I could exhale now! I’ve been to a couple of start up juice shops and always ask politely, and don’t always get the same response. I then leave those other places. Forgive me while I preach it a moment… if you are juicing, you extract plant’s core via liquidizing a volume of food you wouldn’t normally consume. If that produce has been saturated in pesticides or toxic fertilizers, the produce inherently absorbs those chemicals — you are drinking and then super absorbing those chemicals and doing yourself a world of hurt! With juicing being an excellent nutritional fad, there are many locations who are preparing their juices ahead, heat pasteurizing to sell in bulk/​commercial venues, and using non organic produce. The price point for these may seem appealing, but you might as well smoke a cigarette — same difference — quite literally!
Now, we get to Lauren :-) I got there at 5:30-ish and didn’t leave until 7 — an hour after closing! I apologized profusely for being so excited about their place, but Lauren was as genuinely interested in our discussion as I was. She is passionate and committed to bring a quality product to her establishment. I don’t doubt her sister is as cool too!
Their focus is on the nutrition and wellness behind the beverages, and as I mentioned above, Lauren will take the time to talk to you and get to know WHY you are there; and add helpful suggestions if you need information and support! Imagine, heaven forbid their illness, that a person fighting cancer — wants to try Gerson Therapy for their cancer treatment. They can work with Fresh Press Juice Co. to find the right cleanse and not have to worry about the time/​expense/​cleanup to source organic produce and then juice it!
Eating to nourish myself, is my passion. Though I am by no means perfect at what i consume, Fresh Press Juice Co has EVERYTHING i could want. I left uplifted and full… when’s the last time you left an eatery with that feeling and not something other than guilt/​remorse of over indulging.

Great to have an organic juice bar in my town. The fresh juices I’ve tried so far (Emerald Green being my absolute favorite) are delicious and clean tasting. I also like that they will customize your drink for you at no extra charge, which is a nice plus.
They are on the pricey side, rivaling NYC prices for fresh pressed juice, but since it is organic, its well worth it.
The ladies are friendly and I really like stopping in when I have a couple of extra bucks to spare to accommodate my costly juice habit.

We just got back from living in India where juicing is a way of life — so we were thrilled to see a juice shop opening up just down the street from us. Not only were the smoothies delicious but the staff was super helpful & friendly. We tried a Kale Girl smoothie & a banana whip for our toddler — & we loved both!

Their juice shop is finally open!!! While driving down South Avenue in Cranford, I decided to stop in and check out the Fresh Press Juice Co. Downtown Cranford has several new shops and restaurants opening up. They are steps away from the Train Station, right across the street from the Paint and Hardware store.
Their shop is open, airy, bright, and very inviting. There are 3 small tables and 2 seats by the «juice bar». They have an easy to read chalkboard menu. You can even customize your order if you don’t see something you like. They have juice, smoothies, banana whips, shots, salads, even raw granola. I originally came in for a juice since I can easily make my own smoothies in my fancy vitamix. But I was tempted by their smoothie menu and ordered 16 ounces of their MacaMeCrazy smoothie. At $ 9, it’s not cheap, but they use real, quality ingredients.
Okay, I’m a smoothie snob. Most places don’t use ripe bananas or use sugary-​full of preservatives-​nasty juice or fake almond mylk, like Jamba Juice. * Shudder * Jamba Juice is just wrong. I am pretty health conscious and want to know what’s in my food. Deven and Lauren (the owners) were super nice and showed me their ripe frozen bananas and the other ingredients for the smoothie. They used HOMEMADE almond mylk, bananas, green apple, spinach, RAW coconut chunks, and cinnamon, nutmeg, and maca powder. It doesn’t sound like much, but it was heavenly. Their almond mylk is ridiculously smooth and the cinnamon and nutmeg added such a nice touch to the smoothie. The color was on point and a beautiful shade of pastel green. Amazing!
I sipped on my smoothie for a few minutes whilst surfing the internet. I chatted with the ladies before heading out. They’re super nice! They offer juice cleanse packages and their almond mylk for sale too. I’m definitely going to purchase a juice cleanse when I return from a long trip to help re-​boot my body.
I’m so in love with the place. This sister duo is an inspiration to eat/​drink healthy and be more conscious of what goes into my body. I wish them much success and hope more people incorporate raw fruits and vegetables into their diet. I believe in the power of plants! (:
