Juice Generation has great juices and smoothies. I have tried the "I Love Watermelon" smoothie which includes blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and watermelon. It is excellent. As for acai bowls, it is a rip off. I ordered the "Aloha Acai" which is acai, almond milk, bee pollen, banana, hemp granola, pineapples, and strawberries. It is not terrible but I am not impressed. It is one of the smaller bowls I have seen in the city and the toppings are sparse. On the other hand, it is one of the more expensive bowls at about $11. I definitely recommend the smoothies. However, I would not get an acai bowl here unless you are really craving a bowl around 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue because there are no other bowls near the area. If you are looking for recommendations for good acai bowls in New York, feel free to message me through Yelp and I can share my personal list of acai bowls in the city, which includes my Yelp reviews.

So convenient- located just outside of the subway. Service is fast and friendly. They happily customize your smoothie and even ask if it's too your liking. Good customer service is the way to keep your customers. The fridge is loaded with pre made healthy meals, juices, and snacks. The fresh smoothies are very filling, so order carefully if you're only looking for a snack since most are more like meal replacements. Rey can be easily lightened by swapping water for milk and not adding sugar. read more

Spent nearly $10 on a green smoothie only to find my teeth grinding on sandy dirt from unclean kale. When I open to make sure I'm not mistaken, I find whole lumps of unblended ingredients.. read more

Juice Generation - Frozen not "Fresh" - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped here for a healthy drink before grabbing our train. Great choices, fresh fruit, super nice staff. I love that they use paper straws, plant-based cups, and have options to address winter ailments! Big fan! read more

Juice generation is one of the better juice shop. Prices are all reasonable compared to other juice shops and does a good job keeping the place clean and music going! I ordered a wheat grass shot that came complimentary with an orange slice! Highly recommended. The orange slice after was a great sweet finish to the wheatgrass shot. I also ordered the mucho mango. That actually prevented the 5 stars as I wish there was more mango flavoring the coconut oil and coconut milk was way too powerful. All you can taste is the coconut and strawberries despite the coloring. read more

See all

Great selection of green smoothies, juices and other yummy things! Fast and friendly service! I really liked that they sell huge cookies made with plant protein and not some yucky whey protein. I got the Green Guardian sweetened with agave and the Kale Kolada. Both were delicious. read more

I come here for their fresh green smoothies and their wheat grass shots! All tasty and delicious! Every time I visit NYC, I grab myself a drink here make myself feel a little bit better about overindulging and to refuel after late nights in the city. read more

This used to be my go to place for protein smoothies but it has gone tremendously downhill. The protein buzz and the cherry chocolate smother were disgusting when I got them. The protein buzz used to have hemp milk but with almond milk it's undrinkable. This place is terrible, I recommend going to Juice Press nearby instead read more

Just left here and ordered the PB acai. Got my order and there was the smallest dab of peanut butter I've ever seen. I asked for a bigger scoop and was told that this was the standard size. I've been her about 20 times since it is right by my work and this has never happened. Asked if the cashier was the manager and he said yes but was completely lying. Sad that such a simple request ruined my experience and I wouldn't go back. read more

We had a fresh juice and a cold press juice. Presentation was great and store front was very nice. However the juices felt a little watered down compared to other places, but still good. read more

This locations SUCKS! I have been here on numerous occasions, and they are so damn slow. At minimum, I have waited 20 minutes for an acai bowl. Look, I know they're busy, but get a better system going. They need two people on acai bowls. They all seem like they don't care, yell out an order and then it just sits there for minutes. I love their acai bowls, granted they are expensive AF. But this locations seriously blows. Don't expect to get in and out within 10 min, because that's never going to happen. read more

I liked the vegan/gluten free chocolate chip cookie. I also got the watermelon/dragonfruit smoothie, which was reasonably tasty, but somewhat more watery than expected. Perhaps I should've expected it to be more watery considering that it's a watermelon smoothie, but so it goes. read more

I don't know why, but I wasn't that impressed with the smoothie I ordered (Protein Buzz, Almond milk, plant protein, unsweetened). I could see it be a good post-workout drink, but for the price - I expected it to taste better. read more

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. This place is super cute and a great location. Love coming here after a workout to replenish. Acai bowls are always tasty and if you want to indulge get the "Peanut Butter Split" It's heavenly. The staff is always super sweet and knowledgeable. Once it gets warmer I'm planning on trying their juice cleanse!! read more

Like this place, tried the wheatgrass shot and liked it so much, one guy had a trouble and was visibly upset with me asking for a room temp shake after a chemo in salon Kettering which kinda upset me since the person that took the order said sure, but the other guy was visibly upset instead of just coming to me and telling me that it's difficult to do! Anyway they apologized later for this. read more

The most delicious smoothies and acai bowls I've ever tasted. I highly recommend all of the acai bowls and any of the peanut butter smoothies. One star off only because it seems to take forever sometimes despite the large staff. Friendly and professional service otherwise thouugh. read more

Their veggie and quinoa burger with a detox juice is the best after a workout :). All of their smoothies are really good and I recommend those more than the cold pressed juices because you can find those at other places in the city like Pressed Juicery. read more

Second time visting this location and got the Almond Bliss Acai bowl. Both times, it took around 15 mins for my bowl to come out (which is a very long time if you are already running late for work). Overall the taste is good but was quite disappointed with my recent visit. It does taste better than other acai bowls in the area, but not sure if it is worth the $11-$12. They also did not blend the acai fully so i had a golf sized ball of frozen acai and another golf sized ball of frozen banana. For the price I'm paying, I shouldn't be receiving this sort of quality. read more

Good location, friendly and pretty quick service. Great tasting juices. On the expensive side but that's how it goes

Wow what a terrible customer service experience and based on the way I was treated I'll never find out if their smoothies and acai bowls are any good. While I was taking a photo of the menu to send to my wife (as we have a sick 4 year old back at the hotel), one of the staff yelled out that I couldn't take photos in the store, when I explain that I had a sick child and just want to text my wife to see what would be good for him (and her) to eat, I was told "sorry it's company policy and I could take her one of their printed menu". Not really sure what secret information I was going to acquire from inside the store that any other person couldn't find on the takeaway menus, their website or this yelp page but they really need to work on their company policies and customer relation training. BTW Juice Press on 3rd and 51st had great Acai bowls and their staff were extremely helpful read more

Awesome juices & smoothies and super friendly workers! Would definitely recommend for a quick healthy snack!

A bit pricey but def very good. They let me build my own and very flexible with what you want.

A bit chaotic, sort of a wait, and not cheap. But the "get ur green on", or whatever, was good, made me feel good, and I would do it again.

Slow service, average acai bowl. Close to work so will probably end up visiting again.

Got the Aloha Bowl and one other Acai bowl. Very quick service and very fresh ingredients. Wish they were a little bigger but still were incredible. read more

Love this place. Come there every morning after workout. The Acai Aloha is just superb.

My husband and I were visiting New York and were staying in a hotel near by. This place was an awesome way for us to start our morning with a healthy breakfast and kick start the day! We ordered everything from a smoothie to an acai bowl. It is a bit pricey, but for New York prices we didn't think it was that bad. read more

Great açaí bowl and fresh fun vibe inside. Lots of options for smoothies and bowls. Also have a lot of fresh pressed juice options. Service was solid - although slightly slow. Would recommend going early/ at off times. read more

Great juices! Love them and I go there regularly. But, they need more staff. Juices take 30 mins to come out! This is operations 101. Some days there are just two people managing 20 orders! There is no store manager. This is ridiculous! You clearly have the demand. Why be stingy and turn customers away as you have less staff! Hope the management is listening else soon the people will be turned off! read more

Can't get behind this spot completely yet. It's newer digs but apparently some of the employees are greener too. It was an ominous sign when the preceding order had to be explained numerous times to one of the smoothie makers and when I ordered my PKO with spinach and avocado it turned out barely blended with big chunks of spinach floating in and ruining the smooth and cool experience. On the positive side the space is bright and clean and the prepared foods are the same as elsewhere. read more

I come here daily from Thursday-Sunday to get my green juice (The Professional with xtra kale and ginger) when I stay at the W. Very fresh juices and very friendly staff! They really take pride in their juicing! :) Look forward to stopping by every time and chatting it up with the staff! read more

great smoothies on a hot day in the city! was a little pricey but totally worth it would recommend read more

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

The juices may be good, but I'll never go back for an acai bowl! I purchased the Aloha Acai and was very disappointed. The acai was watery and the fruit toppings were hard and flavorless. It wasn't good at all. read more

Honestly I thought this would be a good place but the açaí all star bowel we got had no flavor. Tasted like frozen water and sugar. The passion fruit was bland. The strawberries (4 slices not four strawberries) are the only thing that tasted good. The granola even tasted stale. Disappointed. Only reason it's 2 Star is because the staff were nice. But the product is pretty much sub par. And for almost $11? Nah. read more

Awesome! Their assortment of smoothies is really fresh and tasty. I found that the calorie menu really helps to plan out my day -food wise. I was able to see how many calories I was about to drink and specialize what kind of nutrition I needed to put in my body. I choose the protein buzz because I am trying to gain some muscle while watching my waist. I was able to pick what kind of base and protein I placed in the drink. The staff gave me me helpful suggestions-even though I asked the most random and dorky questions. I am a fun of this place and will try another smoothie tomorrow read more

Juice Generation honestly makes my mornings when I have to be in midtown so much better because how can you be annoyed about slow, rude business people commuting when you are sipping on a mango smoothie? The answer is you can't. I've also had their acai bowls which are super tasty, just not from this location. But from my experience at this and other locations Juice Generation always has friendly service, and will have you in and out in ten minutes. Only gripe is that this location has no seating read more

This place was great! A little pricy, $9 for a smoothie; but not gonna lie it was a GREAT smoothie. I got the Coco acai and it had the perfect sweetness and coconut flavor to it. Plus the workers were very nice. So overall, I had a good first experience here. read more

The worst of all locations. I saw them pour most of my acai from a plastic container right before they served it. Needless to say, it was watery and disgusting- had to throw it out. read more

Great smoothies and other healthy food (at least I think it is), such as a pumpkin muffin with plant protein. Friendly staff, and efficient. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon for a green smoothie (banana, mango, kale). My rating is tentative since I have only been here once, but I'm unsure I will be returning since I was unimpressed. Pros- Smoothie contained a good amount of kale and did not contain any added sweeteners. This was a real green smoothie. Good balance of nutrition to taste. Cons- The smoothies are available in only one size, which at 20oz I would consider to be a large. Oh and at $8.xx, a pretty overpriced large at that. Definitely needs more size options. There was a pretty big unblended piece banana in my shake but that understandably can happen. Service at the counter was not so great. Seemed to be dismissive of the fact me and customers were in the store waiting to order. read more
