Thick and tasty smoothie (the one with passion fruit) although pretty basic for almost $15. Then again it is midtown so I guess that's what we've come to expect. The acai bowl was atrocious though. I got a Maui acai bowl or maybe it's called Aloha? Can't quite recall. The one with tropical fruits atop. I love acai bowls-- have eaten them for years and have worked with acai brands in the past. The base of this "acai" bowl didn't taste one bit like acai and the fruit on top was scarce and not ripe. Ever tried an unripe kiwi? Yeah, not pleasant. By taste and color alone I doubt they used acai in the base. And if they did, I would question the quality of their acai. For $15+ it's a tragedy. Stick to the smoothies. read more

Great spot. I love the hi-fibe smoothie and the aloha açaí. But the best part is the staff! They're friendly, kind, helpful, and you can tell there's camaraderie there. It's very sweet to witness. Also, tip: order ahead online for pickup if you don't want to wait in line. They can get busy at lunch time. read more

I need to start off by saying that I'm not a juice drinker, however recently my colleagues started grabbing some refreshments from Juice Generation which piqued my interest. Some of us decided to step out for lunch the other day, and decided to make a pit stop here at the JG on 42nd. Needless to say, we decided to get some juice. This JG has a similar setup to the other spot they have slightly north of here (I forget the cross street). The menu contains a variety of juice blends, smoothies, açaí bowls, and other beverages with added health benefits (dubbed the Juice Pharmacy). Skimming the menu, the Watermelon Dragon stood out to me the most so I went with that. The blend was pretty simple, containing watermelon, dragonfruit, strawberries, blueberries, and lime. Very tasty and the perfect compliment to the nice weather outside. Service was fast and efficient - they have a good system in place to balance the walk-ins with the many online orders. Overall, I had a good experience at Juice Generation. Despite my reservations about juice in general, they serve creative concoctions and I would not be against returning to explore more of their menu. read more

Solid açaí bowl. They have gluten free baked goods also. Friendly staff. A nice go to in the morning.

Great juice and vegan snack foods clean friendly staff lots of options for juicing I recommend for fresh juices

I've always walked by this juice bar plenty of times since I work on the same block. However, I've never gone inside. My colleagues decided to grab a smoothie for their breakfast, so I decided to tag along. Judging from the number of people here who come from work and tourists as well, there must be repeat customers. Anyways, after trying both the peanut butter split and the Mucho mango, I noticed how they're very tasty. There are other varieties of drinks that I would like to try on my next visits to the juice store. read more

Had an high protein meal and I cannot complain. For my drink I went for "Hale to kale" a very green juice which was not bitter, it was very tasty and flavorful. Next my Açaí bowl I went for the "Hella Good Greens" and the names speaks for it self I enjoyed it. So if you're on east 42nd street stop by and have a healthy meal read more

Awesome smoothies and açaí bowls full of flavor and enjoyed the nutrients. Enjoyed the variety of bottled beverages in their refrigerated section as I grab a drink for later too. Staff is amazing and helpful with menu options. Really enjoyed the display of fresh produce as you saw ingredients were fresh and not pulled from a freezer. read more

Great smoothies! I work in the area from time to time. I usually don't eat breakfast but I needed something to eat before I could take an anti-inflammatory pill for my back and decided to see if I could get a smoothie so I could take my pill. Juice Generation was nearby and had a smoothie with ingredients close to what I normally get so I ordered one from there. My smoothie arrived quickly. I love the tamper-proof tape they use. You can't tear it if you wanted...my smoothie was in tact and it tasted great. I got the Peanut Butter Split with oat milk. I wished I could have customized it more to my liking on the app but you're limited. I'm sure if you order in person, you're able to make more adjustments. I would have loved adding some plant protein because that's how I usually make my own smoothies at home. Since I enjoyed my smoothie so much and I had a light day at work, I ordered two more to bring home for my kids. My son asked for the Watermelon Dragon and my daughter wanted the Smooth Strawberry. The orders again, arrived quickly and were neatly packaged. They kept well and traveled well. My son marveled at the tamper tape, loving the fact that he needed to use scissors to open the bag. Both of my kids thoroughly enjoyed their smoothies. My Little actually finished the whole thing. She loves smoothies but she never finishes a whole one at a time. We usually have to put it in the fridge which means she might never finish it but she nursed this one for a couple of hours and drank it all. I was impressed. I would order from them in the future. I hope they adjust their ordering process to allow for more customization of their signature smoothies, or at the very least, allow for you to be able to customize your own smoothie in a way that has all of the ingredients they have available in the app. I want the luxury of ordering online, the same as if I were ordering in person. read more

The juices here are fantastic--always fresh. I usually go for a large of The Professional, Supa Dupa Greens, or Daily Detox, and they never disappoint. However, I'm not a fan of their açaí bowls. The portions are quite small, which makes them less satisfying compared to other options. read more

This was my first time at Juice Generation and I was def happy with my experience! The location is pretty spacious and clean, although there is very minimal seating. When I went around noon on a Monday there was no line. The employee who took my order was friendly and kindly answered my questions about the menu. I ordered PB & Joe smoothie which is peanut butter, milk, banana, cacao and a bit of coffee. This was soooo good and pretty filling, and the texture was great -- creamy and thick but also smooth. I waited about 10 minutes and there were only a couple other people there so I could see a long wait if it was busy. Still though, I would definitely return here! read more

Juice Generation wasn't the best smoothie ever, but it's hard to find healthy options in the area, so I'm grateful it's there! If you're looking for something nutritious and fresh, it's a solid option. I got the "Protein Buzz" smoothie. It could have been more flavorful, but it was good enough for what I needed. The items are expensive, but it's fresh food in NYC, so that's expected! The staff was friendly, and the store was clean. There isn't really seating, so plan to get your smoothie and go. read more

So thankful for a healthy option like this near grand central. My hotel was located two blocks from grand central and I was looking for a healthy smoothie place nearby. I placed an online order for the almond butter smoothie and the protein buzz. I added dates to both. My order was ready in 10 minutes and I was able to quickly go pick it up. They were in a bag and very secure so I didn't have to worry about them spilling during the commute. Both smoothies were delicious. They were filling, creamy, and so flavorful. This is a new regular spot for me! read more

OMG. Hands down one of the best acai bowls in the city. Seriously, their bowl with the dragon fruit is so friggin' delicious. That said, they're not all winners. They have one that infuses coffee in it and we basically spit that out and had to have them remake us something that wasn't less unpleasant. The drawback to JG is that they are pretty rigid in their acai bowls. There's no create your own option, so you're pretty much left with having to tweak the three they offer, which can get dull and boring and get old fast leading to having to only get acai bowls from here on occasion. We definitely like the bowls, but wish they had more variety and options. read more

Daily detox is my favorite it consist of carrots , ginger , cucumber , lemon and apple. I love that they put their ingredients on display. I came into the shop to pick a freshly made juice my juice was made to perfection as it taste amazing however I had to wait along time at this location because they forgot about my order. I had to tell the worker and that's when they started making it. I would definitely be back next time I'll just tell them sooner if I see them going pass my number as the morning hours tend to get a little crazy the juices are $9 for the bigger sizes but in my opinion it's worth it because it's a whole breakfast with vitamins and nutriments that will fill you up until lunch time. They have to go ones as well I'm not a big fan off as I prefer freshly made but the to go ones aren't so bad. They also have salads , coconuts and other yummy healthy snacks read more

good juices but expensive. each juice is priced $8+, sometimes more expensive than a meal. good morning or later after quick bites.

Really like this Juice Generation. Convenient location and hours. They have a wide selection of smoothies and juices, including green and fruity ones. Even have avocado blended into smoothies. Interior location is very fresh and clean, and they have plenty of seating. There is also acai bowls and other options. They have sandwiches and some foods, as well as prepressed juices in a fridge for grab and go. Prices are pretty fair and their sizes are pretty generous. Does get pretty busy but staff move quickly. read more

The two staff members had their heads down & didn't greet/help me this morning. I had ordered via UberEats & walked to this location to pick it up. I entered & walked towards the staff, who didn't greet me, didn't stop making orders to see if I needed help or see if my finished order was mine. I waited for a few minutes to see if they would say something, walking from the pick-up area to register and back. The two men were more concerned about the orders. One of them only spoke to a woman and engaged in conversation about where she worked at as it's busy while acknowledging not speaking to me. I then politely informed him that I ordered a juice for pick up. The man didn't even say anything & handed me my order. If I didn't order before coming, I would have walked out. I won't be coming back to this location. read more

I tried both Pb Açaí and Aloha Açaí bowls. Both were great! Fast and friendly service!

I am not one to ever substitute real food for juices or smoothies, not even now! Juice Generation comes into play when I need to substitute my bubble tea obsession. Juices and smoothies are organic, super healthy, and really good too! The menu separates juices, smoothies, cold-pressed, hot drinks, and shots. My go-to juice is the Get Ur Green On, oh wow this is really good! I'll admit that this is the first time that I ever blend vegetables into a drink and it was great! It is a good drink to start off in the morning for cleansing after a weekend's guilty indulges. My go-to smoothie is the Mucho Mango which is a smoothie with orange juice, mango, strawberries, and frozen coconut. This is a really refreshing drink for a warm, sunny day. This place is expensive. A large juice would turn out to be about $10.00. Probably not an everyday spot but it's a good spot for an afternoon pick-me-up. read more

I really like Juice Generation's Watermelon Dragon smoothie drink. It has watermelon, dragonfruit, cherry, strawberry, and lime. It's more of a juice than a smoothie and very hydrating and refreshing. But considering their other juices are more healthful and green or detoxifying, this one is probably all sugar, I mean natural fruit sugar, but nonetheless not as healthy, if that is what you are looking for in a juice recommendation. When I went the service was pretty fast and the staff seemed polite and all had masks and gloves on. read more

I've passed by this venue a few times in the past and was curious to go in. So I decided to try it out this morning and was pretty disappointed. I ordered their aloha acai bowl and go green juice. The juice was recommended by the cashier, taste was not bad but 20%of the cup was topped with 'foam'. The acai bowl, let me start numbering the cons....1) skimpiness on fruits 2) mangos raw and hard 3) acai mix melted in less than 30mins in 30-40° weather AND LOOKS LIKE CEMENT COLOR! Originally I was content with the bowl, but then...what happened!!??? (See before & after pictures) 4) wait time is ridiculously long Perhaps I've been spoiled by the venue called FRUTTA bowl - sizes of bowls are identical - but like the quality!!!!!!!!! ZOMG HUGE DIFFERENCE!! (And no I do not get sponsorship from them or get paid by them to say this) prices are merely a few cents apart, think frutta costs less, but fruits and quality, AMAZING! All in all I won't be coming back here again. -EDIT- I gave 2 stars instead of 1 cause the cashier guy was nice about recommending the juice and the taste wasn't bad. read more

Juice Generation reminds me of what Jamba Juice used to be. Customize your drinks. I love that they have several locations.

A few things that bug me about this place- In the mornings, obviously it is bustling but doesn't justify an average wait time for no less than 10 minutes for my order every time! While I haven't found anything wrong with the quality of my orders in the past, I was completely embarrassed and pissed to find that the the plastic container was completely cracked open in 3 different places (see pictures) which inevitably resulted in most of the açaí bowl content to leak and spill all over the paper bag by the time I got to my meeting. I didn't have enough time to leave the meeting and go back to get another one but 6 month pregnant, I needed substance so I played the pregnancy card in front of my co-workers, poured what little was left in the bowl through the cracks into a cup (making the biggest mess in the process). SO lame and SO confusing, how did they not know the container was cracked in 3 places?! Not cool. read more

I have walked by this place many times but finally decided to come in and I'm glad I did. I had the supa dupa greens (substitute the apple for orange juice) and it was really good. They had a lot other options that look good but I went for this one. They had to sizes and the difference is $1 so I went for the 20oz which I was happy about since I drank my whole juice in like 5 minutes. read more

Located in the space once occupied by Rize Coffee, Juice Generation has decided to open up the space a bit and make it bright and welcoming. Rize used to have the area you ordered deep in the shop, but Juice Generation does this more logically. As soon as you enter the cashier is towards the right in the front. The menus are lined against the wall as you stand on line, giving you a time to look it over before you order. It worked out really nicely as I am not familiar with their menu. I wound up ordering the "Protein Buzz" that includes blueberries, bananas, raspberries and ice with either soy or almond milk. I chose almond milk. There were a lot of people ahead of me that day, so given that they managed to get my drink done fairly quickly (and they were very friendly). The drink was very tasty. I'm glad they didn't add any type of syrup or sweetener because the natural sweetness of the fruit was perfect along with the flavor of the almond milk and the texture of the crushed ice. I really enjoyed my first visit and look forward to going back! read more

I loved this place! It was clean, fast, and friendly. Smoothies, juice blends, acai bowls and other healthy goodies. I had the green guardian which I read some people found gritty. I thought it was blended pretty smooth, especially considering it had both chia and flax seeds in it. It also had kale, strawberries, avocado (the main thing I tasted was the avocado) & your choice of milks (I chose hemp as they sadly didn't have cashew milk). Its sorta pricy ($7-8 average) but I loved my smoothie. Calories are posted on the menu. Had they stayed open late on Saturday night I would've picked one up around 10. I'm a fan! read more
