Came in 6:45pm. They told me I couldn't eat in even though they close at 7:30 They had all the chairs on the tables and a garbage pale in the middle of the restaurant. It looked closed

Mostly eaten Fresco Avocado Toast and Mocha Muscle Protein Shake

My wife and I visited the UES for a week in November, and during that stay we visited this Baya Bar location 3 times. The first time, I got pick up here for my wife who had started to feel sick, so I got her the "Flu shot" ginger shot as well as a green smoothie of some kind, and I got the "mocha muscle", a peanut butter + banana + coffee smoothie. I also ordered us two of the regular avocado toasts. Needless to say, everything was delicious enough that we came back 2 more times. Once just for the smoothies, and another time for take out avocado toasts and smoothies for breakfast. On all three visits the employees were super nice and deserve top marks. Not a lot to say otherwise: I'm sure if we lived in NYC, we'd be regular customers at this location, and to this chain in general.

Opening day

This location on UES between 90th & 91st St just opened. I have not been to any of their locations before. I heard about their grand opening and wanted to try it. They had a free promo in the morning. The menu has bowls, smoothies and juices. The bowls have 3 kinds of base to pick from - Açaí, Pitaya (dragon fruit) and Coconut. Then you pick the toppings, like strawberries, bananas, pineapples. A few bowls have names to them so you can order by name on the menu. You can also customize your bowl. The staff are friendly. There are quite a few tables and chairs. They have table ledge seatings by the window. A good amount of space inside. Their sidewalk outside look big enough for a few tables for the summer too. Maybe. Great place for sun and tasty healthy bowls.

Let's start with the fact that the interior is so cute and there's so much sun coming into the restaurant. There's indoor seating and the line moves so fast. The guys that work here have the most immense amount of patience because their service never waivers no matter how many people and orders there are. I came back here 5x within the span of a week because it's just that delicious. Everything I tried (açaí smoothie, pitaya bowls, even my dog's bark bowl!) were delicious. An absolute staple in the neighborhood!

Cute place but both times I've gotten smoothies with oranges I've found the taste of the fruit to be underwhelming/ not blended well enough

We saw online that Go Cups sold frozen yogurt and we knew we had to give it a try. They had a…read morecouple of flavors and various amounts of toppings to choose from. We ordered the original tart flavor with mochi, chocolate chips, and sprinkles. It was delicious and very flavorful in taste. Even though it was cold, we still thought this was the perfect dessert choice we went for. We are so happy to have found another local frozen yogurt store instead of the chain ones. The people running the shop were very nice and greeted us happily once we entered. Seems like more of a grab and go place instead of a sit down venue. I would recommend this place to anyone! Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

The main lady that runs the front lacks customer service and is RUDE…read more I ordered the same smoothie I've ordered multiple times and as I'm walking out and take a sip, it's sour. I walk back in and explain something's off, and she asks if I ordered the right smoothie... I tell her something tastes off and she offers to add more peanut butter.The smoothie had yogurt, milk, berries, peanut butter and vanilla protein. I was concerned the yogurt, milk or fruit was bad, and I explain that to her. She takes the smoothie anyways and adds more peanut butter. I take another sip and I said "No. it's still sour" and do yall know what her response was?! Homegirl hit the shoulder shrug ‍and said "don't know what you want me to do, we made it right". She then refused to make a new one and refused to refund me. To make a long story short, we went back and forth until I decided to choose peace instead of violence. I let her keep her funky lil smoothie and left before I lost my temper. Her nasty attitude had me considering throwing the smoothie across the store but my momma raised me better than that. Plus, crashing out over a $9 smoothie is just not on my bingo card for 2025. Please, pick anywhere but here :)

FRIDAY NIGHT WHOEVER CLOSED AND MADE TO FO ORDERS NEEDS TO BE RETRAINED…read more They ONlY put in my additions, so the entire base of the drink is missing and it's only mango protein and ginger... the fountain of youth base of strawberry raspberry banana is missing and I asked for no blueberry which they got right but the whole base is missing... they didn't put the receipt in the bag. It's undrinkable sour and unbalanced. Now I paid damn near 20 dollars for this. Honestly don't do delivery near closing if your workers aren't going to pay attention. Also worker conveniently left receipt out. And Uber eats refused to offer me a refund only a five dollar credit... so I paid for the additives which were about 5 and then 15 extra I guess just for fun... please talk to Uber eats, make this right. Update after hounding Uber they decided to give refund. But please it's not about money.

Super pricey, but their smoothies have always been fantastic!…read more I always stop by this place after walking across Central Park. My go to smoothie is their Strawberry Banana. Not only is it delicious, it's also filling and very refreshing. Their customer service has always been excellent; I was assisted by different staffs every time and everyone was so friendly, attentive, and helpful. The store is also very clean. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I can't wait to visit Juice Press again.
