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.

Fair prices in my opinion for the large smoothie! I will come back for the smoothies, there's so many! Side note for the management team - you might want new cups as the one I got bubbled out on the bottom when cold, so it struggled to hold itself up.

I thought all the fish was pretty fresh and lots of fix-ins that complemented each other well.

Service was great and quick. I was the only one there since I went an hour before close, but there are a few seating options inside and a small bar table. A cute spot to dine in, and I'll have to go back and try out the boba!

The space itself is cute, and there's seating for small and medium-sized groups! Exposed brick and bright colors invite you in to this tropical bowl, smoothie, and coffee shop. The service was not great...we waited 45 minutes for two cortados, a smoothie, and a bagel. There was one small group in front of us, and they waited like 25 minutes for their products as well. The food and coffee were only okay...the bagel, cream cheese, and salmon was an extremely small serving for the price, the Blue Colada smoothie came out a bit gray in color which wasn't super appetizing, and the coffee was fairly standard. I was also disappointed that they didn't have dairy milk options for their smoothies...I'm not a soy or oat milk fan...and they definitely had dairy milk for the coffee, so why not allow that sub for the smoothie? Likely won't be returning, but I guess it's an okay spot if you are interested in a smoothie and have some time to chill! The Acai bowls did look solid!

I ordered an iced caramel latte, it was good. I was the only one there at the time so my drink came out right away.

I also really like how they utilize fresh ingredients, dates, coconuts, fresh fruits, and more. The service is always top notch too. They are great at making any changes that you request to the smoothies -- with a slight up-charge but always on point and beyond tasty. The inside ambiance of Parcelle is always welcoming and bright too. I especially love that even when it is the most busy, it's still clean and tidy inside. Also very kid friendly! Love this place and have become a regular! Definitely a must try for healthy, organic food and drink that you understand each and every ingredient of what you're putting in your body.

Staff is friendly. There was a steady stream of people going through, mostly younger, 20-30 somethings. I had a vanilla latte. It was ok, definitely not the best I have ever had. Coffee flavour was not very strong. My husband had a siphon pour over coffee. We have a siphon maker at home and it can make a great cup of coffee, but not here. Their siphon is pretty, but they don't seem to know how to use it properly. First, they boil the water before they put it in the bottom carafe, a cheat but not a big deal. Then they start the process of "boiling" the water. Now, this is where you are supposed to put the coffee grounds into the top carafe, that way as the water rises to the top carafe it filters through the coffee grounds for a nice rich flavour and a stronger cup of coffee. They use fresh ground coffee, which is nice, but they wait until all of the water is in the top of the siphon before they add the grounds. Then they let it simmer for a minute or two and remove it from the burner, letting the coffee siphon back down to the bottom carafe. This pretty much gives you a nice cup of brown water. I think they try too hard to be fancy and organic and miss the mark on making a good cup of coffee. It was ok, but we probably won't be back.

The location is super convenient right off Grand Ave and close to tons of other shops, and the interior is cute with plenty of seating. Service is also really fast, which is always a plus when you're hungry. I absolutely love their poke bowls and the build-your-own options, but this time I switched it up and tried their hot plates, the Chicken Katsu and Salmon Teriyaki. Both were really good, especially if raw fish isn't your thing! The katsu was crispy and flavorful, while the salmon was tender and coated in a delicious teriyaki glaze. And of course, the mac and cheese was divine. Super creamy, cheesy, and the perfect side to the hot plates. The portions are also generous, so you definitely get your money's worth and leave feeling FULL.
