From the moment I arrived staff were very friendly and the environment itself was also very welcoming. I ordered the London Frog; their speciality drink as they say, which is their spin on a London fog. It is a tea based drink with orange and espresso, and it was incredible... seriously one of the better coffee drinks I've ever ordered. 100% would order this again. I also got the pastrami sandwich with a side of chips. It was only $9 so I didn't expect too much or anything too fancy. It was a standard sandwich, toasted with a few typical toppings, but it was delicious and did the trick for a yummy lunch. I'll be coming to Walden Coffee again for sure.

The short rib section was sadly empty so I will have to shop at a few other grocery stores for my Christmas entree. As for the hot and ready to eat foods I grabbed, I had the vegetable egg rolls, sesame tofu, and fried rice. The egg rolls and tofu were good and passable for a quick cheap lunch, but the fried rice was near inedible. Veggies were cooked and tender, flavor was good, but the rice was entirely undercooked. I struggled to even find a single grain of rice that wasn't raw and hard and since I had mixed my rice with my tofu it nearly ruined lunch. I wouldn't call this experience indicative of of Eastsides typical good quality food, so I wont judge too harshly, but I hope this experience wont repeat itself.

The inside of the store was very open and spacious, it seemed like a lot of space for a store that did not require much space. There was plenty of parking in the parking lot right outside Liv Tru. The menu is quite extensive as it ranges from smoothie bowls to teas and to smoothies. I chose to get the turtle mocha with no pralines and my friend got the lemon cupcake. The girls working there were extremely nice and wanted us to enjoy our smoothies! Customer service was 10/10. The smoothies themselves were not my favorite. They consisted of lots of protein powder and fake tasting substances. My smoothie had a nice consistency but was very chalky tasting and left a bad after taste. The lemon cupcake smoothie tasted exactly like a lemon cupcake but once again was not a fresh smoothie. This is a great place to go if you are looking for a smoothie with plenty of protein powder.

It pains me to leave a review like this to a black owned business in Saint Paul, but I am severely…read moredisappointed in my experience today. If this company has cameras with audio, I would encourage them to listen back to order 6525 that was placed today, March 19th, 2026 around 5:45 PM. I came to support this establishment because I have yet to do so since the opening, and was excited to contribute to the success of a black owned business. The grounds were clean, and the music was a vibe. I placed my order at the Kiosk, and paid nearly $25 for a $9 juice and $10 smoothie with tax. Both products were wonderful. However, that's not my concern. The service was without a doubt unprofessional and uncomfortable. The man serving the community today began to chat with me, catching up because we were familiar with one another from my previous employer. After asking where I was working now, he began to solicit me with job opportunities within Life Juices and on his own personal product line, offering me $500 to assist him with marketing. (Mind you, this is very similar to the conversation we had when I met him the first time, he let me know then that he's co-owner of Life Juices and also offered me job opportunities.) When I declined, he asked why do "black women" act like this or that (I don't remember exactly what was said) At this point, I'm annoyed and offended. After I respectfully read him his rights, I told him I don't want him to make my juice and I'd like my money back. He randomly referred to himself as a Pharaoh and let me know that he would begin making my order. As I'm waiting for my order, two other patrons walk up to place an order. The man serving took this as an opportunity to poke fun at me with one of them, saying I don't recognize a Pharaoh when I see one, and dapping up the stud. Now, I did my best to be a good sport. They began to joke that I don't even know what Pharaoh means. I decide that I'm not going to pay attention anymore. As I bend down to give my three year old juice, the patron leaned over to ask "do you know what pharaoh mean" I responded and said "it means King". She then returned to the conversation with the man working discussing how women need to do better when they see a Pharaoh (that's just a paraphrase) Now if you get a chance to listen to the audio, I was referred to out of my name during this conversation (meaning the b word) and I'm trying to figure out how did we get here when I just came to order some juice that I didn't even want in the first place- just supporting a local business. SMH I'm so upset, honestly. The audacity of these people to refer to me out of my name in front of my three year old son was so distasteful. The audacity to include this random patron that I don't know to poke fun at any person, but me..? a person who just supported your establishment. All because I declined your advances? If you're reading this, shame on you. Do better.
