I was having a green juice craving one day and stopped by Goodness Juice Bar to satisfy it. I had the Green Bully which is packed with all things green--kale, parsley, cilantro, celery cucumber, and green apple. It was everything I could have hoped for! I would say it's a little expensive, but for 24 oz of such exceptional juice, I really got what I paid for. My only complaint is that Goodness is almost 20 minutes from my house, please open a location on the Northwest side!! read more

Goodness Fresh - yummy Green Bully - Salad Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I love the decor of Goodness, its open, airy and can I say that it actually *looks* healthy? You see all of the fresh fruits and vegetables out on the counter and can watch as your juices are being squeezed. I came on for breakfast and ordered the Homemade Granola with Almond Milk, which came with strawberries and bananas on top. I really enjoyed it, and I thought the almond milk jazzed up the granola and gave it a great flavor. In addition to the granola, I ordered a Glory juice which was delicious with the pineapple in it and great for summertime. Also, Goodness offers 10% off to UA Students, UMC staff and Military which was a great surprise! I'm looking forward to going back for lunch so I can try some of the salads and sandwiches. read more

Ok, I didn't like this place and won't be back. Here's why: 1. This may seem trivial to some, but I HATED having my name called on a loudspeaker to pick up my order. Embarrassing, LOUD, and I don't need every patron knowing my name/ order. Why the heck is this necessary in a tiny smoothie shop is beyond me. PLEASE, at least assign customer numbers Five Guys style so the world doesn't have to hear my name at 82938283 decibels. 2. My smoothie was not properly blended whatsoever. When I started drinking it I just thought it was bland, but I discovered the bananas/chocolate all caked at the bottom. No thank you. If you can invest in loudspeakers, you can invest in a Vitamix or at least a decent blender. 3. I don't want to sound like a snob but I will anyway... all of the employees were dressed lke ex-cons in dirty outfits with the attitudes to go along with it. The guy taking my order was unfriendly, did not educate me about how the process worked even though I told him It was my first time here, and continued conversations with his coworkers while taking my order. Not really my kind of customer service. Smoothie shops are kind of a niche - well dressed and friendly employees, large selection with a level of customer education, and caring about pleasing your customer. I Implore management to work on this obvious issue. On the flip side, the guy taking out the garbage wished me a good day. Maybe he could teach his coworkers about how to run a business. read more

Yesterday I stopped by goodness juice bar and fresh food . Overall my experience was 4out of 5 stars . The food was delicious and fresh just as expected . I got the roasted chicken and Brie sand which . It was served hot with a side of spicy mayo . The commuter juice was fresh as well . No complaints . Cucumber , basil, and like made the drink refreshing and easily drinkable in the hot heat My one complaint is the customer service from the front staff and back staff could have been more pleasant . Every one there seemed to have an attitude . read more

Just visited and was impressed by how they got rid of their "to go containers" and upped their portion sizes. Prices still have not changed but I'm happy to pay if I feel my $'s match what I'm getting as far as portion and my experience is concerned. Will definitely be coming back again. I was really impressed by how full I felt after my meal here and again I am extremely happy that they got rid of their dine in to-go containers which didn't make any sense to me. I'm still a little apprehensive of getting a sandwich though as my experience with those have been tainted in the past, but I can definitely feel good about ordering a bowl or a smoothie. read more

Goodness Fresh - Grilled veggie bowl - Salad Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I stopped in a day last week after yoga and ordered a clean it up juice with orange, pineapple, parsley, cucumber and lemon...so delicious! The staff was warm and welcoming, the restaurant was bright and airy and the juice was so tasty. read more

First visit today, and was not impressed. We got the OG burrito and avo toast, which were both decently flavorful and yet obscenely overpriced. My biggest gripe is the absolute and utter lack of an even basic understanding of customer service. I ordered the beet juice, and it was delivered to our table quite full with a lid on it. But no straw. My husband popped up to the counter to get one, and was told "straws are only for the smoothies, not the juices." The thing is, it was BEET JUICE. And really full. Taking the lid off would mean I would be wearing beet juice. The food delivery girl was walking past our table, and I asked again for a straw. Her, "Oh, we're trying to get away from those. But we do have reusable straws for sale by the register." Me: ... Her:... Me: "So, are you telling me you are unable to provide me with a straw?" Her: "We have straws, but those are for the smoothies." Me: ... Her: .... Me: May I have one? Her: (exasperated sigh), turns without responding and comes back to hold out a smoothie straw. Please note that all during this interaction, I am staring at cups full of plastic utensils at the pick up counter ten feet away. So, Goodness, are you anti-plastic or aren't you? And how about a little common freaking sense and a modicum of customer service skills in your staff? Your POS asks for tips at check-out, and I can see why you would want them up front. I'm typically a "if you can't say something nice" kind of yelper, but this really ticked me off. I gave you thirty six freaking dollars for a meal that would have cost us $25 at First Watch, and you made me fight to get a damn straw? Seriously? read more

Good food though overpriced. Can't give more stars because of their poor customer service. One example--I placed a large phone order, went in and paid and then waited. And waited. I finally decided to walk around to the side counter only to find that the order was ready and they had not called me. Then one of the cooks starts giving me a hard time about paying, but instead of directing the question at me he keeps asking the employee standing next to me. Really awkward and rude. One of the employees apologized but the whole incident really left a bad taste in my mouth, no pun intended. read more

I used to love this place and how everything was made fresh. My recent Mediterranean plate was pre-made given to me cold right out of the fridge. The chicken and veggies were cold. The rice was not only cold but some pieces were so hard that it felt like I was biting rocks. Definitely not worth the price point either. As I was leaving at the back I also saw an employee on his phone with food gloves on and then go back in, touching the door handle and all I sure hope he exchanged those gloves before dealing with food again. read more

Love Goodness! I would go here more often if I lived closer. Stopped in last week for perfect post-workout (to-go) goodies: Hot Tropic smoothie and bag of delicious granola. I returned again...and typical me ordered the same items. I need to return for an actual sit-down meal plus try out their infamous juices. My only request...my Goodness, please extend your hours (5pm is too early for those who workout in evening)! read more

Good food, but the service is not good. If you happen to order a sandwich instead of one of the more popular bowls everyone else in the place gets served long before you do. People that came in after us were served, ate and left before we got our order of 2 sandwiches. Update: Since I was called out for abusing my Yelp power I will correct my review by saying the food is mostly good. There was one good sandwich in the order and one rather sad sandwich (Mostly bread, very little content.) Bad customer service can really ruin a meal, so when a customer is upset it might be wise to apologize and try to make it right, which did not happen. read more

Been going here for years- great concept and healthy food. Unfortunately, at least 50%, probably more the employees probably purposely don't hang up land line so you can't place a phone order even when it isn't busy- and today as well as several other times no online ordering is possible- and the order taker hung up the phone once i was physically there, didn't apologize and mumbled something about the owners not updating the system as an excuse for inability to order online- kind of shockingly lme. read more

I'm so thankful Goodness has found its niche here in Tucson. I feel like I'm back in Newport every time I walk in the door. Jason did a wonderful job transforming the place and it translates into every aspect of Goodness. The best: Big Melons or a fresh Thai coconut on a hot lazy Sunday. Amaze: Gluten free bread! Great: Power breakfast bowls when you're running late and don't have time to make your own before work. Good: Everything on the menu (I've sampled just about all of it). Not good: Closing at 5 pm! I don't leave the office until 6 most days and I crave their Azteca bowl right about then. But....I think (hope) that as they establish a healthy (pun intended?) following, they'll extend hours to at least 8 and put more dinner bowls on the menu. Pleasepleaseplease. read more

Disappointment. $20 for lunch. Got a chicken and Brie sandwich. All I can say is I wish I didn't. No flavor. A little greasy. A disaster. All crust. Hardly anything between the bread. Got one of their juices..healing vibes. It was good. If I want to spend $10 for a small drink. I will then return. Parking is bad. A lot of effort. I was meeting someone there. When I got their I remembered being here before. The previous time I sent the food back. All sauce. More like a soup. Think it was the Thai chicken bowl. read more

My tummy is full of the Goodness from Goodness. This place is terrific! I met a group of girlfriends here for lunch today and was so impressed I had to come home and Yelp about it right away. First off, the parking situation is AWFUL during peak hours. But that didn't stop me from finding a spot after a while. It's a very clean, bright area. The setup is very similar to something like Sauce, where the menus are on the wall and you order at the register. It was packed when we were in there, and the staff was doing a great job at keeping the pacing consistently quick. I ordered the roasted veggie salad and added chicken. This is one of the BEST salads I've had in a very long time. Some brown rice, fresh spring mix greens, roasted carrots, broccoli, pickled red onion, butternut squash, and beets topped with a nice serving of chicken made my little tastebuds dance. All of the veggies were beautifully seasoned-I added the dressing (one tiny container is what they give you and you don't even need to add it, the veggies are seasoned that well) because I like the tang of vinaigrette however the pickled onions have basically the same effect. I ate just about half of the salad and was very comfortably full. Among the other things ordered at our table were the kale citrus salad, the pesto chicken sandwich, and the morning breakfast bowl and one chicken taco. Everything was presented beautifully and the girls loved all their meals. I also got a large iced green tea. It was delicate and floral and did not need any sweetener added! This is what I would consider "pricey" for lunch-the salad with added chicken and the green tea set me back almost $15 however I will be able to get two meals out of the salad. I typically spend no more than $7 on lunch if I eat out BUT if this place was closer to my work I would eat here all the time-it's worth it!! 5th star will be reserved for a few visits down the road when I can try more of their menu!! read more

love their breakfast sandwich and bowls so much! I also love buying a ginger shot with my breakfast to help my stomach digest better :) this place is awesome! some attitude with some of the workers but nothing a good meal won't fix read more

FINALLY! Tucson has been needing a place like this. Great location- located in the Campbell/Grant strip mall near Cartel. Open, airy, natural lighting- perfect for casual dining. This is definitely a location you bring health conscious people- but there ARE things in the menu that ANYONE would enjoy...classic sandwiches and salads with a bit of an upscale vibe. I came for the acai bowl and was not disappointed! They only currently have two options, and were out of the one I wanted, but I was able to modify the option they had available (Cacao warrior). It was SO SO good. Good breakfast portion with delicious granola, coconut and fresh mint, which took it to a whole new level. I was sad when it was over! My only complaint is that I was spitting out a few ice cubes...but in house made for the win! The menu is moderately priced, but $8 is a little pricy for the acai bowl, especially with their other breakfast options being so cheap. However, the quality definitely makes up for the $$$. I will definitely be back! read more

We had the beet salad and tomato soup. Salad was good, but don't expect any extras. No bread, toast, or crackers. Just a salad. As for the tomato soup, don't waste your $4. It was a very basic small bowl containing a tomato-like substance. Bland! A little on the loud side. Now we know... read more

I met a friend here for lunch for the first time today. I got the Kale Citrus salad and a bottle of water, and she got some sort of steak quinoa bowl with a super delicious yogurt sauce on the side. The place itself is cute, though when I was there all of the tables were dirty, and for the hour that I was there nobody came out to clean them. So, after I ordered, I found the least dirty table and sat down to wait for my companion. Ordering was fine. The guy wasn't overly friendly, didn't even crack a smile when I walked up to the counter. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't memorable, either. My salad was nearly identical to a salad I get for half the price at Trader Joe's. It had butternut squash, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, brussel sprouts and a citrus dressing. It was yummy, and while it wasn't super expensive as far as salads go, while i was eating it I kept thinking that I get the same salad, the same size, for a lot less. Maybe I should have gotten something else. Maybe I had different expectations since it did cost more. I don't know. I'm totally willing to come back here. They had some smoothies that looked delicious, and some of their other vegetarian fare looked like it would be worth a try. I wasn't a huge fan after today, but I didn't hate my lunch. It was a three star experience, "A-OK" as Yelp puts it. Food that was ok, and service that was mediocre at best. read more

Pretty average. Granted, we only tried two items but both items were alright, but not as good as we hoped. I got a "hot" turkey pesto sandwich, but the pesto, cheese and turkey were slapped on a toasted bread. The sandwich was cold in minutes, and the insides weren't close to being hot at all. The sandwich was over priced, I thought. I also didn't notice why it was worth so much more, when I could make the same sandwich at home, have it taste the same, and spend way less money. It wasn't bad but it wasn't something I'd pay 9 bucks for... The other meal we got was the thai chicken bowl with quinoa. Another eh dish. The ingredients are fresh but uninspiring. Again, with a little effort and less money, we could make this dish at home. We also got a lemmon scone. Very eh. No different than a random scone you get at Fry's... beyond bread has amaze-balls pastries. Sure, maybe they put more sugar, fat, salt etc into their pastries but hot damn is this place not worth the hipster hype. Ambiance is great, openness is great. Food is alright, prices suck. read more

Oh my, I truly adore this place! The vibe is modern, yet natural. And there offering of tasty and healthy foods is perfect for a pick-me-up at any time of day. from fresh pressed juice blends to power bowls, you can't go wrong. I got the Maine Root (bottled brand) maple lemonade and the Sonoma Chicken Salad Sandwich. The wheat bread it was on was soft and tender, like a prairie wheat and the chicken salad tasted fresh, not like nasty canned chicken. After, my boss and I shared 'The Professional' which is a smoothie that is either vanilla or chocolate (your choice) with strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt and pea protein. It was delicious and filling, even for the 16 oz size. Needless to say, if you like delicious healthy food, try Goodness! read more

Your experience here can vary quite a bit based on what you order. I'm all for efforts to curb the horrible obesity epidemic in this country/state, but I draw the line when restaurants start selling food that touts some alleged health benefit at the cost of tasting good. Even some of the more sinful sounding options like "The King" Sandwich suffer from a fairly lackluster wheat bread. Then there are the dishes with "Turkey Sausage" two words that should never be that close together. You're eating sausage either way - ground up hoofs vs. ground up beaks - whatever health benefits potentially exist with the fowl option are greatly superseded by the flavor superiority held by the swine. Live a little. But then there are the redeemers like the "Cocoa Warrior" or their fresh lemonade. I won't give up on Goodness, but with a name like that, they need to shift their focus a bit more toward a flavor-first mentality to live up to it. read more

My favourite new spot in town! I found this place by accident, I was driving and felt like some juice, then this place showed up. From just seeing one picture on yelp I was excited. Sure enough when I arrived I wasn't disappointed. We don't get these kinds of places in Tucson. This is the kind of place you can find in London, LA, Chicago the big cities that understand interior design and what people want. Even the parking reminded me of LA. Everything about this place can be summarised in one word: fresh. The food was freshly prepared, the juices are freshly squeezed, and the ambience is modern with great lighting and design. Thank you for bringing places like this to Tucson! I will be a loyal customer for many months to come. They're opening a branch at the University of Arizona too. read more

I'm bummed I didn't find Goodness earlier. Goodness is a juice bar but also serve breakfast. After a yoga class down the street, I stopped here for the steak bowl and wow, it was one of the best things I had eaten. I was also very hungry. With that said, the bowl has a good portion of steak, avocado, tomatoes, and pickled onions over brown rice. Normally, I have to substitute ingredients but here, everything looks fantastic. I was between this item and their breakfast burrito. I guess I'll have to go back to Tucson! read more

Goodness Fresh - Azteca steak bowl - Salad Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

At first, I wasn't too excited about this place because of the prices. However, they have a reason for those prices - the food is made with all organic ingredients, and it's one restaurant that I feel good after eating at! They have a large selection of foods, and the cashier informed me that nutritionists developed the menu. It's non-greasy, pure food, which is hard to find in restaurants. They have large transparency in their foods, as they list what goes into their bowls. I had the wheatgrass shot, breakfast bowl, gluten free blueberry muffin, and the Teriyaki chicken bowl, none of which has disappointed me so far. For anyone looking for eating out, but is hesitant because of health/diet reasons, this would be the place to go to! read more

Just had a terrible experience I feel I need to share: I got an egg white burrito to go. Burrito was wrapped in super flimsy piece of deli paper. When I opened the burrito it was super soggy, the tortilla was that wet-slimey way they get when there is too much juice. The deli paper was sticking to the whole outside of the tortilla. I finally got some off to take a bite. First bite was good (despite sogginess). Second bite sent an EXPLOSION of juices out of the back end. Luckily I was eating over the tiny paper bag they gave me. I could see how giant the puddle was. There was juices all over the table, my skirt, and hands, which leads me to my next complaint: NO NAPKINS. I threw out 3/4 of a $10.50 burrito because It was a giant pile of mucky mess. I'm still hungry. read more

I wanted to try this place because I want to start eating healthy, but I LOVE EATING OUT. Being an addict to fast food I didn't LOVE this place, but, BUT I will say it was pretty good and the serving sizes are pretty good. My order was the Teriyaki Veggie bowl. The broccoli and carrots were cooked well and tasted fresh. The sauce was a bit on the salty side. For a drink I had the Beach Bod. This drink was very good and had a lot of flavor; it did not have an overpowering powdery taste from the protein. read more

I am sure a lot of people would love his place but I came here for the Acai Bowl and left disappointed. I ordered one Acai bowl, one yogurt bowl and their breakfast burrito. The bowls were very overwhelming due to the fact that they had way, way too many toppings. I was hoping for some fresh bananas, strawberries, and granola but instead got a ton of weird grains and some raspberries. It was overwhelmingly sweet and on top of that it had a lot of honey. I was only able to eat half. My two kids shared the yogurt bowl but I think they felt the same. Too many weird grains in it and sweet dried fruit. I so prefer Whole Foods' Acai bowl. They blend the Acai and simply top it with banana slices, strawberries, granola, and coconut shreds. The burrito was good bit it needed more flavor. It was a little bland. The food definitely looked prettier than it tasted. The blonde girl behind the counter was not the friendliest. I felt like I was bothering her anytime I asked her for something. She didn't bother to ask if I needed anything when she dropped off our food at the table. The male cook was very friendly when I went up to the counter to get an extra spoon. Probably won't come back again but like I said, I'm sure some people will like it. I think if they simplify their bowls, they can lower the price a little and get more customers. read more

Goodness Fresh - Acai bowl on the right, yogurt bowl on the left. Breakfast burrito. I did not like the sweet dried fruit on both bowls. - Salad Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I just can't help myself! This place is literally a once a week stop. I get the same thing everytime. The breakfast burrito and the goods smoothie. I really should try other things but the burrito and smoothie are just so good! Let's start with the smoothie. It is made up of banana, kale, vanilla, almond milk, and other goodies...i think blueberry. Anyway, so tasty and refreshing. I instantly feel healthy after slurping it down. The burrito is filled or i guess i should say stuffed with egg, quinoa, tomota, cheese, turkey sausage and spinach. It is served with a dipping sauce. Not sure what the sauce is but it has a lil kick to it. Anyway, it is so tasty and flavorful. So much flavor hits you in the mouth and it is fantastic. I love the burrito. It is very filling. I will eat this and not eat again until dinner. Price wise, i think you get what you pay for. Maybe even a lil more. 13 and some change for the smoothie and filling burrito. I think that's a legit deal. Staff wise, they are friendly and they serve it fast. They also serve lunch but i haven't tried any of the options yet. But i have to say, today i saw their steak all sliced up and marinated and I'm pretty sure i drooled a little. I'll need to try lunch for sure! The End. read more

I am here to clear the slate.... I had a very frustrating experience here one day, and it took a lot for me to return. But return I have and have now been in close to a dozen times, at all hours and have ordered something off of most sections of the menu. I have consistently had great, pleasant, knowledgeable people take my orders and prepare my food! I am quite pleased with the options and freshness of the food. My one piece of advice would be to cook the veggies more thoroughly, they sometimes come off rubbery. I am looking forward to many more returns. read more

This place is good for a healthy snack, and really lends itself to meet-ups with friends. I've only tried their juices/smoothies, but they also offer salads & protein bowls. They have many choices, and you can customize your own drink or go with one of their options. It smells good, they play good music - the only pitfall is the price. It's quite expensive... but if you're going to splurge on fresh juice, you should do it here! read more

Goodness Fresh - Greek yogurt bowl - Salad Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'll admit I haven't actually had juice here. I'm not sure juice bar is the most accurate moniker, but then again I don't make a habit of surveying such establishments. Next life. I was very pleased with how fresh each component of the food was in the bowls and noodles - the sweet potato, beets, quinoa, carrot, broccoli... The greens didn't need the dressing that came with but it was tasty when I did some dipping. Maybe you like it extra saucy. You do you. The teriyaki beef with broccoli sauce wasn't as awesome, but the component ingredients of the bowl were great. Service was nice, but it's strictly counter and it does look like there's some issues in communicating to the outside when orders are ready. The iced tea was worth a mention, too. So here I am. Mentioning it. read more

Oh my goodness (in a Minnesota accent). Expensive but GOOD for the GOODNESS of your body. The Daily Buzz is the good, gooder, goodest. Alright that was all very good and annoying. Worth the price. Even if I feel super unhip and so very in my 30s when I'm surrounded by the kale consuming good hipsters. :D read more

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was awesome and the food was delicious! Anything you order on the menu is a good choice!

With so many burger joints and franchises, I'm very happy to see a place like this open. I popped in for lunch and didn't really know what to expect (I had read the Yelp reviews before I went). I ordered a turkey pesto sandwich and it was ready within a few minutes-very quick. It was delicious and very filling. I also ordered a juice 'commuter'; it tasted just the way that I imagined it would. To be honest, I was a little worried about the prep time and portion sizes based off the Yelp reviews that I read. But I didn't see a problem with either of them. After the juice and the sandwich, I was very full. My coworker tried their albacore sandwich and a smoothie. She liked both and couldn't finish her smoothie because she was full. Oh yeah, the staff were very nice too :) I'll be back. read more

My friend and I both enjoy a lot of raw and vegan foods so this was a great choice since Tucson doesn't have a lot of fresh options. We shared two dishes: The Asian Salad and a vegan rice bowl (can't remember the name) I ended up mixing the two together. The flavors were right on and didn't need salt or extra sauce (that's exciting since I'm a chef and super into flavor). I really enjoyed my meal and so did my friend who is also very particular about food. We will be back to try more. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I would say just lower the AC a bit since I had to go to the car and get a tablecloth to wrap around myself since that's all I had in the car in summer. Good job! read more

Love this place! One of my favorite healthy breakfast stops. Breakfast bowl and fresh juice are always amazing choices.

This place seriously will make your mouth water. Went here a few weeks ago and was blown away by their food. I had the Turkey Feta wrap and it was so filling and yummy. I had just gotten back from a workout and this was the perfect meal. It didn't leave me feeling groggy but rather everything tasted fresh and it felt like the food was actually fueling me; as food should! The only reason why I am dinging them a star is because of the service. Everyone here was very friendly but it took almost 45 minutes to get our food; longer than a lot of sit down restaurants. Definitely will go back but hopefully on a less crowded day! read more

The Mediterranean Tofu Bowl is my favorite! It's so flavorful and crave it all the time! Sooooo good!

Portion on the veggie bowl looked small - but was filling. The rice was a little tough, but it was probably my own fault for calling too soon on my way to pick it up. The juices and smoothies are stellar though. read more
