Just Juice

One of the few juice shops in the area. They don’t add sugar or fillers to your drink– everything is literally «just juice.» Same prices as typical juice chains, but this is a true hole-​in-​the-​wall family business. I’m always greeted with a smile, and they are happy to customize your drink with whatever ingredients you’d like. Just Juice is not amazing, but it hits the spot if you want a smoothie.
Try their frozen yogurt if you need a sweet treat! Chocolate, vanilla, or swirl. It’s pretty good, and very reasonably priced. Avoid the boba– it’s the one item on the drink menu that’s just not up to par.
Tip: If you prefer a stronger flavor, request a smoothie with no ice. Best item on the menu is freshly squeezed orange, carrot, ginger juice! Ask for extra ginger!

Just Juice = Just Bleh
I have tried the froyo and a couple of the smoothies, only to be disappointed by both. I mean, the froyo is pretty standard but pricey for what you get (~$ 5 if you get ONE topping). I tried the antioxidant smoothie, and it tasted plain gross. If I hadn’t paid so much for it, I would have thrown it away. Also, there were no traces of green in there even though it claims to contain them.

I have tried this business several times, and each time I find the customer service or lack there of to be pretty appalling. This week I went to buy a smoothie, and when I walked in, a man who I am assuming is the manager, just stared at me. Finally, I said can you help me. Then he asked what I needed. I ask if he knew the number of calories or fat in the smoothies, and he looked at me like I was crazy. Unfortunately, it seems that customer service in the city of Los Angeles is rapidly going down the drain. This influx of new business owners, shopkeepers, and managers seem to have no regard for the customer or for providing good customer service.

A big fan for the fresh fruit/​veggie juice bar! Excellent prices, nice big cup and excellent tasting fresh veggie juice. Had the apple carrot juice and they asked if I preferred green or red apples. Nice! Also enjoyed the V4 (beet, celery, carrot and tomato) and interesting combination. Very good! Thank you Just Juice!!!

Yuck. The smoothie menu looks pretty good but don’t be fooled. The smoothies taste like crap and have some sort of bizarre after taste. As an added bonus, the staff is not very friendly. Avoid.

Disgusting boba. They probably use the same batch of tapioca for several days, it’s that bad. The premade sandwiches, the egg salad one especially, are also pretty underwhelming. No seasoning whatsoever.
The fresh juices are okay but the juice is always warm. I used to like the packaged fresh fruit but the cantaloupe I had today was RANCID!

Decent Fresh Juice option in Downtown LA.
They have a good selection of fresh fruits and decent prices (almost everything this under $ 5). I’ve gotten a few juice drinks here and the protein smoothie. The protein smoothie is a bit sweet and had too much sugar. They also don’t use the right spoon for protein powder measuring, so you get jibed on your protein intake.
Bottom Line — come for the juice not the protein drink.
This place is located in the lower level (basement) food court of the City National Plaza.

Uhm this place has very limited options… And they charged me when I asked for very very very little ginger!!! Who does that?! I’m never pleased with people who don’t communicate their extra charges.

Got a boba tea here, and it was basically the most disgusting thing I’ve ever consumed (or consumed part of before throwing away). I asked for a (non-​slushy, just liquid) black milk tea boba. The preparation involved putting a big scoop of some gross powder in a blender. The resulting liquid tasted vaguely like chocolate (?). I’m not sure why they’re not just using actual tea, which you’d think would be easier. The boba pearls themselves also had a bad texture.
Even though when I arrived there was only one person in front of me (whose sandwich was nearly done being made) and two employees, it must have taken nearly 10 minutes to get my boba. (Between incompetence, forgetting about me, and one girl chatting on her cellphone.)
And, to top everything off, though they post prices under the ginormous heading «BOBA» (see the photos of the menu board), there is a note at the bottom of the board that adding boba is $ 1 extra. (Um, I thought I was getting boba already for that price, because it is the price under the BOBA heading?) So I paid $ 4 for a disgusting drink I threw in the trash. Obviously not going back.

Coming here is becoming a bit of a habit. Like crackhead type habit. They have a little cooler by the entrance with an array of freshly cut fruit in these little plastic containers, all priced at around $ 3.60 a piece. I can’t get enough of their oranges, tangerines, sliced strawberries, or the killer: fresh sliced RIPE mango. In the past week I had to have eaten at least the equivalent of 6 sliced mangoes from Just Juice. Yeah, yeah, I’m a fat ass, but at least I can write em off as a good source of dietary fiber!
I had a cantaloupe smoothie here once that I wasn’t too thrilled with, but that was my fault– who the hell puts melon in a smoothie? Their tuna salad is a favorite, too– light, fresh and it comes in a little cup with saltine crackers & lettuce for $ 3. If I wanna go healthy for lunch, with all the crappity crap downtown I know nothing here’s gonna clog my arteries. Yay! Fruuuuuuuuit!!!

There are not too many choices for fresh squeezed juice within walking distance in downtown Los Angeles. This is one of the few places that sell fresh squeezed juice.
I hadn’t been there for a while and was craving for juice. My only complaint about this place was the time. They stopped juicing after 4 pm. I got there exactly @ 4pm. Come back tomorrow… that’s what the lady said.
I came back the next day at 3:45pm. Yayyy fresh juice. Guess what? They already cleaned the juicer again! Ughh…
I came back again for the 3^rd time and got my juice this time. Fresh squeezed apple orange juice. I was kinda disappointed because it was not as sweet as before. One of the reasons I like this place before because they don’t add sugar and it’s sweet.
Maybe the fruits were not sweet last time… I will probably come back again for more juice. Hopefully it’s as sweet as before.
It used to be 4 stars for me… not just 3 stars.
Just Juice is yummylicious!
