They use great ingredients from local organic producers and put together wonderful flavor combinations. Their selections are entirely vegan. They have a good selection of healthy juices and smoothies. The tacos & bowls look amazing, but I haven't tried them yet. It is take-away only, but they also have a food truck and often show up at festivals around town. The owners are an absolutely lovely couple who are welcoming, friendly, and engaging.
This is the best smoothie place I have ever been to and also the vegan jackfruit tacos and the vegan egg burrito is delicious as well. You will be missing out if you dont check this place out. Also its a very unique atmosphere and vibing music once you arrive. Check it out , I promise you won't regret it! Lots of options and amazing customer service! Please just be patient because they do make your food fresh which is the best part of the experience. Its not overly fast but it is overly quality food that is served. Its definitely worth the wait, if you had to wait but most likely you won't have to wait!
I ordered the vegan tacos. The flavors were wonderfully balanced, I couldn't believe jackfruit could look / taste like that. It was warm with fresh ingredients. Customer service was on point. He brought the food out to my car so I wouldn't have to wait out in the cold, how thoughtful! I'm going back to try the smoothies and juices!
We had the Green God and Berry King smoothies, Radiance juice, and jackfruit tacos. It was all really good! The story of how this place got started is empowering. I love that all the sourcing is organic. The pricing is a little high ($9 juice, $8 smoothie, $5 per taco), but worth it to have good ingredients. They are pretty new, and they had a big line when we were there, so our order took longer. But they were so sweet about it and gave us a free juice. Now that’s some good customer service! I hope they continue to expand their menu offerings, as we plan to keep coming back.
Wow! We have driven by Life Juices many times, always outside of business hours, and have yearned to visit and try the offerings. At long last, we made our way out to try several of the smoothies, and we were not disappointed in the slightest. There is so much to love about Life Juices! The staff are amazing, the entire concept is commendable (healthy, local, vegetarian/vegan), and the drinks were delicious! I really hope we can stop by again soon and try some of the other flavors. I had the Gym God and my partner had the Last Dragon, which balanced out well between the relatively savory Gym God and the sweet Dragon. Stop by and check it out for yourself!
I went here today with my kids and we all loved what we got. I got the tacos. My daughter got the loon smoothie bowl, and my other ones got a mango ice cream. They all finished it. My daughter loved her loon bowl so much. She tried to save it, but it was too good. She had to finish the whole thing. The guy working was also so nice it was really cold out, and he brought our food out to us when it was ready. This is such a great place! I’m so glad I drove past it and decided to stop. I will definitely be back again when I’m in the area.
Firstly, I have 3 children under 9 years old and I also work a strenuous job full time leaving me tired most of the time. This usually leaves me tired. I tried out this place because I felt I needed a vitamin boost. Stopped by here tried one taco and had a juice with added wellness shot. MY GOODNESS!!!! The next day a woke up I couldn’t stop thinking about the taco…. I went and got 3 tacos, (wellness shot, juice), to my surprise I didn’t even realize it wasn’t meat! Also grabbed a bowl!!! Ate it!! Today my body feels happy I didn’t wake up tired, didn’t hit snooze, I was up and ready to go. I don’t have that tired brain fog and look forward to continuing to go back!!! If you want to feel healthy after feeling like your body is crashing I highly recommend this place!!!!!!
I went for the first time today as I was out and about and something fresh sounded good! I walked up and was able to place my order at the digital kiosk right away, which was nice because it gave me some time to look at the options more in depth. I decided on the 'more life' smoothie bowl, although I was tempted by lots of the options of other bowls and smoothies that looked really good. I then talked to the guy at the counter who was super friendly, and he also gave me a free wellness shot (loved it) for being a first time customer and a punch card. Thank you! :) Got home and had my bowl for lunch, and it was super good. Whatever the blue base is was my favorite. Will be back!
So happy to have this place in the neighborhood! Their cold-pressed juices are fantastic & the owner is a really nice guy. Their mission is to broaden access to fresh, nutritious food in the community. Some folks in the reviews are complaining about the prices, but that's just the reality for a small business that uses fresh, organic fruit in all of their products. If you want a cheap syrupy smoothie, go to Jamba Juice. 🤷🏽♀️ Please consider supporting this place, even if it's just as a once-in-a-while treat!
Absolutely loved this spot! The fresh juices and smoothie bowls are flavorful and you can really taste the quality—especially knowing they grow some of their own ingredients. The customer service stands out, very friendly and welcoming. It’s such a refreshing place in every sense. Definitely recommend.
