Urge Juice

I just finished a 3 day juice cleanse and am so happy I picked Urge to do it through. I picked Cleanse #2 which is more veggie based than fruit based as I didn’t want to consume more sugar than needed in those 3 days. They describe it as «For the more advanced cleanser or juicer. More heavily green juice based + Youg Thai coconut water.» You get 6 juices a day to drink at the cost of $ 165. Although I cringed at the price originally, I think I became more OK spending that kind of money on juice when I tasted each of them. Seemed like some quality juicing to me! Here’s a little review of each juice I had (in the order of daily consumption):
Orange You Glad — So happy this was my first juice each day! You can really taste the carrot with subtle hints orange, apple, and lemon. Overall great flavor.
Sweet Green — Has cucumber, kale, pear and apple. I always thought green juices taste too much of the leafy green, but with this one you REALLY taste the cucumber. Actually kinda refreshing.
Liquid Garden — I think this one was my favorite as it wasn’t sweet at all. Actually, it tasted like a Bloody Mary mix, which is probably why I loved it so much. This is a mix of cucumber, kale, celery, ginger and lemon. Delish.
Let The Beet Drop — My least favorite. Not that it wasn’t a good juice, I just HATE beets and that’s most of what I could taste. Beets taste like dirt to me, which gave this juice a funky flavor. I had a coworker who loved it, so I gave them to her in return of an Apple Tart juice. The beet juice had carrot, apple, beet and lemon.
Refresh — Just as the name, this green juice too is refreshing. It was my «dinner» juice and was glad for it. This one was kale, apple and lemon.
Coconut Water — Amazing. I could drink this every day. So happy it was my «dessert» juice as it’s a tad sweet and really awesome coconut flavor. This was pure coconut water.
Although going 3 days without food was practically torture for me (I love food), it was a great experience. I was impressed with the quality and flavor of the juices. I would love to try their other juices, even if they’re $ 10 – 11 a bottle.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. My kids even love the juice. I mix the Liquid garden and the apple (with lemon and ginger). I have actually woken up from a sound sleep craving it. REFRESH is an awesome one, too. Great atmosphere, too.

What a comfortable place to learn about nature and good stuff to put in your body. They give you free samples and take the time to explain everything. I’ve done the cleanse twice — it was great.

I’ve stopped in to Urge a few times now and every time I end up disappointed. Their juices lack character and flavor profile. The apple lemon ginger one might as well just be all apple. Their greens all seem watered down. I realize they are new at this but it’s been over a year and they still can’t seem to figure it out. I’d recommend trying one of the other places in town before blowing your money here.
2 stars because the interior was nice.

I have seen Urge at a few farmers markets (Royal Oak and Birmingham) and didn’t bother to stop until this one time. Since then, I have been hooked. My favorite is the Liquid Green, and from what I can tell from the customers in line in front of me, it is definitely a best seller. To me, it is a pretty mild green juice. It tastes mostly like celery, but it is surprisingly good. They are really nice about letting you sample the juices before your purchase. I have also tried Bapple (beet, apple, and lemon) which is mostly a beet juice; if you don’t like beets like me and are trying to incorporate it into your diet, you may want to give it a try. Does it still taste like beets? Definitely, but it’s a bit more palatable than other beet juices that I have tried. Orange You Glad is also pretty good if you like carrot juice. They told me that it took 4 lbs of organic carrots to make it.
As much as I love this place, it is hard to stomach the $ 10/​bottle costs. But, it takes a lot of produce (3 – 5 lbs) per bottle. It is also cold-​pressed, all organic, and in glass jars. Everything I could want.
Check them out at a farmers market or if you are by Berkley. If you were going to spend $ 10 at Burger King next door, there is no reason you shouldn’t just get a juice!

I discovered their juice at the RO Farmers Market before they moved into this storefront on 12 Mile. For everyone bitchin about how expensive the juice is, shut up. This is good stuff. Cold pressed and organic, it doesn’t get any better than that. I’m hope they’ll expand their offerings. I also wish there was a way to recycle the bottles. They’re really nice. It’s a shame to get a new one every time. Skip the Burger King in this strip mall and hit up Urge. I’m sure you can use a healthy drink for a change.

Well.
It’s expensive cold pressed juice!
It’s really no different than any other cold pressed juice place to be perfectly honest.
The quality is good, definitely fresh, great concoctions, nice packaging, but it’s even higher priced than some of their competitors and there’s nothing to set them apart really.
Nothing blew me away, sorry!

Delicious!
I popped in out of curiosity and was so pleasantly surprised. The owner’s mother, Terri, was so helpful when I told her it was my first time there. She immediately pulled out all of the bottles to sample and explained the blends. So yummy!
I bought 2. The Sweet Green (kale, pear, cucumber, Apple) and Bapple (beet, apple, lemon).
While I was there other customers came in to buy case loads.
Hope to see this business grow.

If you’re looking for organic, cold pressed juice, this is your place. Very knowledgeable staff. Surprisingly, they had a green juice option that didn’t have fruit — a rarity — but so helpful for a Candida cleanse. Prices are great ($ 10 for a glass 16oz jar) for organic juice — so much produce going into it! Thanks for not making me whip out my juicer and make a big mess, Urge. I’m from out of town and it was great having such easy access to an Autoimmune Paleo (AIP) option.

Northville shop is easy to find and a great addition to the growing downtown food scene.

I like to do the occasional juice cleanse and have been frequenting one of Urge’s competitors for years now. A friend recommended Urge, so I gave it a shot and found the juices really quite tasty, if not a bit sweeter than their nearby competitor. Maybe they use more fruit than veggies in their juices? Not sure, but they are tasty and a few days of juice cleansing with their juices gives me the kind of results I want, so I’ll definitely keep coming back.

I really wanted to love this place, but I have been a bit disappointed. It is on my way to work so I will stock up on Monday (usually 7:50 am) with 6 juices to get me thru Wednesday. I have done this several times and lately when I pull up I can see that the fridge is barely, barely stocked so I don’t even bother going in because I can’t wait even if it will be filled soon. So this happened a couple of times, but I liked the juices so I tried again and this last time the juices were so so bitter, checked the date and they were still supposed to be good for another two days. I couldn’t even finish them — $ 60+ wasted. So disappointing. Yesterday I went back to Beyond Juice in Birmingham, parking can be a pain when I want to grab and go fast, but I forgot how good their juices are (even though they aren’t cold pressed). Sorry Urge, I gave you a really good shot… spent hundreds $$$ with you, but I’m not coming back.

First of all, I’ve read several of the other reviews from people who are either looking for a smoothie spot to get their blended protein shakes, or those who are accustomed to purchasing pasteurized juices at Whole Foods or other similar places. If that is what you are looking for then PLEASE go somewhere that will accommodate your wishes.
Urge Juice is cold pressed raw juice, so it’s NOT something that has a shelf life compatible with commercial markets. The juices are pressed several times each week with specials pressed for the weekends. All of the juices in the case are freshly bottled with expiration dates. There are no organic sweeteners added.
I had put off trying cold pressed juice, especially green juices, because I didn’t think it would be something that would appeal to me. I was wrong. I came in and purchased a one day cleanse for my health, and I was so pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality that I now return on a regular basis. Not all juices appeal to all people, so read the ingredients to get the blend that you want. I am particularly addicted to Key West (pineapple/​coconut water), True Blood (blood orange/​grapefruit) and Sweet Green (cucumber/​kale/​pear/​apple) but like almost all of rest of them.
Yes, the juices are pricey and if you are someone who has the time and money to cold press your own juice at home on a regular basis then you might save some money. But most of us don’t have that option. If you research other raw juice bars you will find the prices to be very similar, if not higher in some cases.
I’m so glad that they have now opened in Northville! Keep up the great work!

This was such a disappointment. I live within close walking distance, so I stopped in a little while after they opened, hoping that something cool had opened up nearby.
When I heard the phrase «juice bar», I totally expected something like a bar, but for juice. Like, hang out with your friends while sipping a juice. That is not the case.
I walked in to see a counter with like two or three chairs at it, which obviously told me that I was WAY off with my expectations. There was a fridge with a bunch of bottles of juice in it, and a cashier. I tried a couple samples and picked one I liked (ginger apple), expecting to get it fresh into a styrofoam cup or something. Nope. I just had to pull a bottle out of the fridge.
Why there is an entire business like this when they could just get the product into Whole Foods or something doesn’t make sense at all to me. This entire business is one refrigerator. What?
It was good juice, but it was $ 10 for maaaybe a liter or so. I would never normally spend that much on juice, but the place is so tiny and it was just me and the cashier guy and I had already tried the samples, so I bought one just to be polite. Never again, though.
Berkley, we need more cool places, not one refrigerator that belongs in a supermarket…

I first heard about Urge juice from my brother and my cousin who stopped and purchased some juices. We all decided to do a juice cleanse and chose Urge’s juice cleanse.
I did a 3 day cleanse which offers 6 juices per day. The juices use all organic produce which is definitely a plus and they are all cold pressed raw juice which is huge when cleansing. If you are interested in cleansing, I would do the research as to how beneficial it is to have a cold pressed juice instead of a juice in a blender. It makes a world of a difference.
Everything screams CLEAN about Urge. When you walk in you can see into the backroom where they make all their juices and every single thing was spotless! I am a big freak when it comes to cleanliness. I met one of the owners who was extremely helpful and friendly. I spoke to Paul who is the owner as well over the phone and he was really helpful too.
Every juice I tasted was sooo tasty. I really don’t think you could go wrong with any of the juices that you would get from there. I really was looking forward to each one every time I drank it.
I can’t tell you how much better I felt after doing the cleanse from Urge! I seriously recommend everyone do a cleanse and do it from Urge! The benefits are so much more amazing than any other juice place.

Yum! I’ve searched for a raw juice bar for so long and I stumbled across Urge today! I love that you stop in and buy the juice of your choice to go! Super clean place and the staff is super helpful. They also offered samples for me to try before I made my purchases. I bought two juices and I’ve almost finished my first one. Even though I live about 25 mins from Urge I will definitely return every week to restock on my juice.

Love this place! Before this shop opened up, I really had not tried out the new organic-​cold pressed trend. With a variety of flavors, and the opportunity to sample any of them right when you walk in the door, you are sure to walk out of Urge with a juice that will leave you feeling refreshed. Also, they have a great social media presence (IG: @UrgeJuice) and you can get an update on new flavors that are being introduced right when they are being rolled out to the public! If you’re trying to stick with healthy dieting habits or just looking for a flavorful drink — Urge Juice is a great spot to stop at.

Stopped in here out of curiosity looking to quench my thirst with some fresh squeezed juice and came away sorely disappointed.
All juices were 10 dollars. For that price I expected some sort of customer experience like on the spot juicing, but the owner simply opened a bottle from beneath the counter and poured me a glass. Not knowing anything about the store, it appeared the owner was simply reselling mass market juice. After doing some research, I found that wasn’t true, but I shouldn’t have to do research to arrive at that conclusion.
Now, perhaps I’ve been drinking fruit juice too long, but when I hear juice I generally think of something a bit sweeter or at least refreshing. The cocktail I was poured, liquid green, was highly sour, almost mouth puckering. I anticipated a juice made with celery and lemon would have some sort of natural, organic sweetener or at least fruit juice added, but I was wrong. It was awful and smelled like lawn trimmings.
On the positive side, the owner was very friendly, and clearly believed in his product. But, I walked away thinking this store can’t be around long. People won’t pay 10 dollars for zero customer experience, especially when the end product is not tasty and you don’t leave understanding why their product is unique.
I gave it 3 stars because after doing some research I believe the owner means well and I don’t think it’d be fair to ding them too greatly for misses on experience and not product quality when they just opened.

I was in town from Los Angeles and needed to find an organic juice bar in the area. I really loved Urge! They have samples of all their juices to try before you buy. I was introducing my mom to the world of juicing, and it was really cool that she was able to get an idea of how the different blends tasted. Honestly, every one was delicious. Green garden was my favorite, but I’ve been juicing for a while and prefer a less sweet flavor. I also loved the different beet mixtures. My mom really liked the carrot blend.
The owner (I think) was in the first day we came in. He was very knowledgable, and passionate about the business. I was happy to support his shop and the local businesses in Berkley while I was vacationing.
