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

Horrible experience. After requesting almond butter in my smoothie, someone replaced it with peanut butter (which I'm allergic to). I had to rush to a pharmacy for benadryl and sit next to my epi pen all day, losing an entire day of work. I tried to contact customer service twice through their online portal...no response. I then instagram dm'd them...no response. I then called the number on their website...automated voice message. I then got to speak to someone who then gave me the customer service number. After speaking to them, they said they would get in contact with me the next day. By mid-afternoon the next day, I heard nothing and called them. They said they would give me $15 for my experience, and I asked to speak to someone higher up in the organization. The Customer Service Manager then called me and told me that I shouldn't dine at places with cross contamination (a reminder this was not a case of cross contamination) and that I was basically asking for it by getting a smoothie from them. She also had no answer for why they couldn't get back to me after sending them emails. Truly horrible customer service. I'm done going to them and would rather support other places around the city. Not worth dealing with their customer service. read more

I got an açaí bowl and it was just okay. I've had açaí bowls all over the country and this one was just average for me. It didn't taste super sweet like they usually do. The portion for the price is a bit small as well. read more

Staff are talking way too much and taking long to make orders. They get easily distracted. They should make a priority to be fast and concentrated. It's NY! People are busy. I love this franchise, products are great. So I'm just reviewing the workers of this location. read more

Conveniently located by my job and upstairs from the 6 train (42nd -Grand Central). Menu items are a little pricey, yet right on target for the city. I personally don't mind spending the money (here and there) for the quality and produce JG uses. I typically get the Aloha Açaí bowl with extra hemp granola. You can really taste that coconut flesh. Seriously delish!! They also have a rewards program. All you have to do is download the app, input some of your deets, along with your debit/credit card and you're all set. read more

$12 for a mediocre juice shouldn't surprise me at this point in Manhattan but here we are. I may also be accustomed to the street vendors of the fidi or even the Hawa locations in the LES but this place is unbearable mediocre. Ordered my typical Banana, Strawberry, Spinach, peanut butter, and celery smoothie. Typically this smoothie's taste profile is fruit with a slight PB after taste. At Juice generation my smoothie taste only like PB and none of the fruit. Hawa charges me $8 for 20 ounces of smoothie that tastes good. Learned my lesson and have been to this place 2 times now. My first and my last. read more

There are a lot of smoothie/acai shops in New York and juice generation is one of these options as a chain with many locations. Having eaten lots of smoothies and acai bowls, I found juice generation to be expensive and underwhelming. New York has many great things better than SF, but acai might be one of those things that are better on the west coast. I also tried their vegan donut... it was overly sweet! Get it if you have a sweet tooth, otherwise avoid at all costs. read more

I love their juices and I shop there at least a couple times a week and I love the bakery selection but come on with the crazy prices. I don't mind paying 4 dollars for a muffin but don't give me a bite size muffin for that price. I need 4 of those muffins to make a whole muffin. Just annoying how you can mess up your reputation with such a simple item. read more

Great quick juice spot located right outside of Grand Central Station. They offer açaí bowls, juices, wellness shots, pastries, and smoothies. I decided to try the dragonfruit donut and protein smoothie. Highly recommend the smoothie as it was packed with flavor and protein based on asking the juicer. The only suggestions I have this spot is price point is a bit high and customer service was okay, both expected subpar in a place like NYC though. Recommend this spot over the juice place inside of Grand Central. read more

I Love Juice Generation. It's super clean and inviting inside. There are a huge amount of choices and add ons for your smoothie or juice. They have soup, salads, and bowls. I've only had smoothies so far and the organic red dragon fruit smoothie is great. Also has mango, banana & raw agave blended with pomegranate juice. Had it for lunch and was satisfied until dinner. Servers are friendly and the vibe is fresh and tasty. Spinach kale kolada is the best! read more

A smoothie is basically $8-9 here which costs equal or more to the amount I would spend on eating out for lunch...which is crazy to me. But I was craving healthy + cold after I worked out one day so I came in for a green smoothie and ended up getting the Green Guardian! Having never tried Juice Generation, I wasn't surprised by there being a relatively long wait during the morning hours on a weekday. The workers are SUPER efficient in making smoothies, it's really impressive to see. However, I wasn't really impressed with my smoothie. I love both bitter tastes + sweet tastes and usually expect that to come through combined in a green smoothie with veggies as well as fruits, but this didn't really have a distinct taste in it. It also had a weird gritty texture that confused me... I probably won't come back for a smoothie here anytime soon since it's way too expensive for what you get :| However it is kind of appealing that they have acai bowls in NYC :) :) (but they're still like $10! ahh) read more

The worst açaí bowl I've ever had. It was bland, with low quality of açaí and granola.

This is a really good place to start your day or stop by for healthy on-the-go food :) As an acai bowl-addict, I love their bowls. My personal favorite is Xo Coco since it has almond milk, chocolate and hemp protein in it (and granola, strawberries and banana too). Their shots are stingy but good! The Defender with ginger, lemon, turmeric and carrot is yummy!! Never been to fond of wheat grass but they have those too of course, at least healthy it is ;) Lots of smoothie options as well and I'm heading back soon to try my way through that menu! Great service and everything is fresh, definitely worth the wait. If you are a tourist in NYC and it's spring, summer or autumn - I suggest you bring the food and drinks with you (and napkins). Then head over to Bryant Park just one block down! Enjoy it in a cosy environment! read more

I stop in here once in a while to grab a smoothie before work. The line hasn't been too bad when I get in around 9 but after 9 I've seen it pick up. I believe all the smoothies are the same price ($8.95) which is a little steep but they use all fresh ingredients and I'm always full after having one so I can't complain too much. So far I've had the pb split, which is very filling. I couldn't even finish it the last time I had it. My only complaint was that it was a little too liquidity. I like my smoothies a little thicker. I've also tried the purple pineapple, which is very purple. It was definitely not as heavy which I enjoyed and fresh. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other flavors they have. read more

I am writing this review for the Almond butter bliss acai bowl. I am a big fan of Acai bowls and always on the hunt for great ones. Juice Generation has an Acai Bowl smoothie rather than Acai bowl [which is generally a harder texture like a sorbet]. I prefer the thicker acai but enjoy the more liquid ones too. Juice Generation had a delicious bowl. The acai smoothie base was smooth and sweet. The almond milk really enhanced the flavor. In addition, the strawberries and bananas were fresh and sweet. Moreover, the granola was great too: very crunchy and also sweet. Finally, I love almond butter in my acai bowls and this bowl has an awesome scoop on top. On the other hand, I find that the acai bowls that blow me away feature an amazing honey that really puts them over the top. An exceptional honey would help make the Almond bliss acai bowl even better. read more

REALLY Great service! I ordered a veggie Juice with beets, cucumber, tumeric, celery, carrots and apple. I love that even though its always packed, the cashiers and workers were super friendly and didn't seem stressed. I love that the juice was a little cold (most places serve hot) and it has just the right consistency that its not too runny or separating. I feel great after drinking it and I will be back! read more

Juice Generation - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

Ugh, I have such mixed feelings about this place. While they do have some items that I quite enjoy, they also fall flat on a number of items and overcharge significantly for others. Starting with the things I like.... Their prepared food is surprisingly good. I LOVE their cashew cheese ravioli. It's very filling and the accompanying pesto sauce is delicious - and it barely has any calories! The kale avocado salad and Mediterranean mezze are also great. It's hard to find healthy, organic food is the tourist cesspool around Grand Central, so I'm happy this is here. I also really enjoy their smoothies, although they are SO overpriced. Joyful Almond and Mr. Greengenes are my favorites, but you have to buy a HUGE packet of protein that's somewhere around $4 if you want to add any amount of protein to them. The juices are actually my least favorite thing here, and I really have a hard time justifying the cost. Their green juices are SO green. I always feel like I'm drinking grass. Most upsetting is their Citrus Super C, though. For $5 (or maybe it's actually more than that), you get a tiny bit of fresh pineapple/grapefruit/mint (like, maybe 1/5 of the cup) and then the rest of your drink is pre-squeezed OJ. I'm talking the kind that they have circulating in a tank like at Orange Julius in the mall. How gross is that? Why not freshly squeeze it for all this money? We all know juices lose nutritional value the longer they sit out - and I honestly don't think they are replacing their huge VAT of orange juice every day... I just don't see a whole lot of benefit over buying a bottle of Tropicana. Overall, this place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, but I've also had better... read more

The prices for this place are little high....but considering the health benefits AS WELL as the tastes of all their juices, I do not mind paying. My favorite juice is the Cold pressed, Very Veggie. Its sweet to taste but VEGETABLES! its the perfect balance of the apple, carrot, beets and spinach. This oasis of health can be smelled all over the block. It exudes a lovely smell of freshness. One walks into this place and the lighting and colors of the store are so welcoming. The workers behind the counter greet everyone with cheer. They have cute little plants of grass on the tables and a sculpture made of real bananas! This place MAKES ME LOVE BEING HEALTHY!! go in for lunch or for a quick pick-me-up. you will not be disappointed. read more

So overpriced but can be decent. If you come here please expect to spend at least eight dollars. Also it's nice to keep in mind that you can make your own smoothie here so think about that when you are looking at the menu in case anything doesn't get your fancy. I am addicted to the protein buzz smoothie and drink it at least three times. But I wish I could find a cheaper alternative to this place because I definitely believe that is overpriced for what they're selling. However most of their smoothies can be very watery so make sure to ask for less ice. read more

I am going back to get more of their vegan baked goods. I got the matcha vegan donut, and for someone who actually hates donuts (I know I must be the only person in the world), the donut was surprisingly good. Don't get me wrong, the glaze was still there. It's just a bit more on the cakey side, and it wasn't simultaneously sickeningly sweet and fried... which happens to be the reasoning behind why I usually avoid donuts. Additionally, the service here was great. The people were super sweet! The place is very clean, but seating is a bit limited (two tables and there aren't any charging ports). read more

Five stars from Pennsylvania. I frequent juice bars and organic smoothie shops wherever I go and this place is a gem. Friendly, quick service. Everything from the juice bar was so FRESH.

I really like this particular location! Unlike the other locations I've been to, they have tables to sit at; it's amazing. I've been to this location a few times, and I find them to be efficient which is a huge plus! Each time my order has come out just the way it should. Most of all, on my last visit, I truly appreciated how friendly the staff was. They offered me a cup of water when they didn't have any bottles on hand, which I genuinely appreciated; this doesn't happen at all locations. It's those little things that will keep me coming back. My faves: PB split with almond milk, Aloha Acai, Get Your Green On, and Protein Buzz. read more

My usual location is the one closest to Columbus Circle ... But I was in the area on a Sunday afternoon, figured I haven't had Mr Greengenes in a while may as well treat myself to one. I love how clean and spacious this location is, there are seating areas and all. Being that it was during the weekend, the store was practically empty - could only imagine how busy it'd be during work week. Staff were friendly and the drink was made pretty quick.

I love juices and was beyond excited to find a Juice Generation in my own backyard. This location is bright, clean and newly renovated with a decent seating area. The staff is really friendly and helped me with setting up the app. My favorite juices at JG are the green ones as I feel like the recipes are really great. In no particular order they are: Supa Dupa, The Professional and Hail to Kale. I like these better than pressed and at $8.95 for a fresh 12 oz and 9.99 for a bottle, they're roughly a 10% or greater savings off Pressed at $11 a bottle. read more

Have you ever had acai soup??? Well today I did. I ordered a refreshing bowl and got pink water with 2 slices of strawberries. In the garbage it went because that's what it was.

I randomly passed this place one day and was intrigued by the interior, so colorful, filled with veggies and all things healthy. I had been searching for a reputable juice/smoothie place and now I have found it! it's so good, my first time there, I had "Supa Dupa Greens" with OJ instead of apple juice. loosing my juice virginity to SDGs was ok. lol I hated the taste but loved the after effect. my body felt more energetic. AND, not to mention I am drinking all veggies! today, 8/12/15, I wasn't very hungry for lunch so I decided to get a smoothie and went with the "Peanut Butter Split". AMAZING! I ordered it with almond milk and the man behind the register suggested agave as a sweetener, I agreed. I'm in love, it actually tastes like a Reece's smoothie. YUM YUM. I will definitely be back to try more juices and smoothies. read more

I just left this Grand Central location a few minutes ago. I work across the street and often stop in for an acai bowl when I'm running late and don't have time for breakfast (which is more often than I'd like to admit) I dropped my stuff off at work and snuck out quick to stop over. I was so annoyed to see that the place was PACKED. There was some sort of employee mixer group something ... with about 30 people ahead of me. However- the staff killed it! They busted ass, turning out one smoothie, and shot and bowl after another. I waited maybe an extra 3 minutes than normal. I've been in restaurant and retail my whole life and the crew I saw today worked so seamlessly, and so quickly. It was pretty great to see actually. The staff at all the locations I've been to have been great, but I've never seen a location this busy and it was or a team with that much hustle! read more

It's my favourite juice place in the neighbourhood for many reasons. First, the decor is clean, bright, fun, and the store feels like its buzzing with energy no matter how busy it actually is. The variety of juices, smoothies, and acai bowls are good. If I'm feeling healthy, I get one of the green juices. If I want a treat, the peanut butter smoothie is my go-too acai bowls are really good meal replacements, although they are quite sugary so you might get a sugar high after (I always do!) Just had the lemon lezonge today because I felt like I was coming down with something. It's pretty potent with a good dose of fresh ginger, so if you don't like super strong /spicy ginger taste, don't get it or at least let them know. I loved it as it helped to clear up my sinuses and warmed me up. I come here at least twice a week and would def. recommend them to anyone! read more
