Eco Bean And Juice

Eco Bean is pricey but worth it for the high quality food and coffee and friendly service. The sushi bowl salad is the best salad in Burlington!

There are so many wonderful things on Eco Bean’s menu. If you’re looking for something nutrient-​packed, organic, high-​quality, raw, gluten-​free, or vegan, they will have something that appeals. The reason I do not give it five stars is the price; if it were slightly more affordable, I could imagine myself going multiple times a week. As it is, I reserve Eco Bean for the occasional special treat.

I got a delicious latte as well as a
acai smoothie from here. Service is great, design is on point, and the baristuds (Nate) are super fly. Definitely coming back.

Delicious juices and very fresh salads! Wonderful healthy options. Yes, it’s a little expensive but the ingredients are SO fresh that you can taste the difference. Definitely justifies the $ 1-​$ 2 price hike! Extensive menu selection as well.

Meh. If I wanted watered down chai made by someone who’s cranky, I would have done it myself and saved $ 5. I really wanted to like this place. I tried Eco Bean, I really did! But alas, after a few failed attempts, some tasteless tea/​coffee, and money wasted, I don’t think I’ll be back.

Totally awesome coffee (the cold-​brew iced is really. freaking. good.), smoothies (Nuts About Acai — omg…), fresh juices, salads. If you’re looking for truly healthy, satisfying but not heavy food, DO NOT WALK — RUN — TO THIS PLACE. I want to be able to keep going here when I visit Burlington!!!

2 stars because of the SLOW service and high prices. Otherwise the juice and coffee are pretty good. Food is OK, but I’d expect better for the prices ($ 8.50 for an only decent panini is a little too much)

Vegan Kale Caesar salad is delicious! So many awesome healthy options on this menu! Yeah, it’s a tad pricey but it’s worth it.

5 stars for the organic menu. 5 stars for choices. 5 stars for raw options. 5 stars for vegan and gluten-​free friendliness. 5 stars for parking. 3 stars for location. 3 stars for ambiance. 3 stars for prices… to be fair though, the prices make sense because they are all organic, so I guess it’s worth it for killer awesome ingredients… but, for most folks, I feel that the price tag (as denoted in several reviews) is off-​putting. Me — I don’t care, the food and drink here is stellar. If there were longer hours, I’d have been here more often!
The juice and smoothie menu is the coolest menu in the Burlington area that I have witnessed. It also rivals the juice and smoothie menu of many other places I have been. I would place their menu as metropolitan chic, hip and diverse, but with less attitude. The freshly made raw nut milks are selling points in and of themselves. Most places that are juice bars do not make their own nut milks, so that’s cool!
The food choices are great for salads to add some fibrous substance to your juice consumption — or, just go for a smoothie. The flavors are delectable and satisfying. The food is not too salty and just screams fresh, organic, healthful, good for you. The food does mostly have a cooked component and/​or dairy, but, pretty good all the same. The prices seem high, but the portions are quite generous, justifying the prices — and it’s organic?
My favorite part of this place though is that they have coffee/​latte/​espresso drinks, too. I can pretty much get everything I would need to consume in a half-​day (or all day) right here in this little gem of a store. Coffee is the blood of life for many (yours truly included), but not nutrient friendly compared to raw juices and smoothies. So… here, I can get one of each. Oh my goodness — brilliance!
Your food is made for you, drinks, too, as you order — so, super fresh. Loved it.
The ambiance is odd though — I feel that it is because it’s farther from some of the hullabaloo of downtown… also, it’s a huge space, and there aren’t as many tables as they might try to have… telling me that maybe it’s not as popular as I would like it to be for it’s amazing menu. That’s too bad, but, it does provide a less cramped and anxious feeling compared to some other p.aces.
Loving the organic menu options that are ridiculously plentiful. Loved this place!

Love the Maple Matcha and Macao smoothies, Red Lentil Dahl, Hemp Pesto Panini’s and Tahini Maple Waldorf Salad Kale!!! Oh, and the Macaroons are amazing too!

This place is awesome! I had the Almond Butter Smoothie and it was delicious. They have a bunch of paleo goodies there as well. Who cares if it’s pricey, it’s worth it. I will definitely be back!

Great smoothies & café drinks, however service can be slow at times, so make sure you give yourself enough time. It’s not slow because of lines, it’s just slow because of the employees. The last drink I ordered I was the only one there but somehow it took 20 minutes. I think it’s worth the wait, great tasting top quality products.

I like the mission of Eco Bean and Juice. Serve organic, natural and as local as possible. If this is extremely important to you, this is the place to go for lunch and/​or a fresh juice/​smoothie. Expect to pay a lot and to wait a while. Servers are nice but service is slow.
They have a wide variety of fresh juice selections with healthy «shot» additions, but most of the citrus-​type fruits we get in Vermont are very acidy and sour, not sweet or fresh tasting, so that can throw off the taste, depending on what you order.
The salads are ok. Soups are ok. Side dishes like sweets and other extras are intriguing. Raw, cold pressed chocolate. Expensive, but delicious. Some macaroon-​type sweet treats that friends love.
If I want a juice/​smoothie, I go here and pay the extra for the organic/​local bit. If i want a salad or sandwich, I go elsewhere. For a healthy snack, I would also stop by here. I don’t drink coffee/​tea so can’t comment. I just know the service is very very slow and the prices are high.

The Almond Butter Cup is like a healthy milk shake! I don’t know any other place that makes their own fresh organic almond milk and has almost everything organic! I’ve always had great service and they are super flexible.
The kale salad greens could be cut up more. Really hard to eat!
I like that they offer GF bread at no extra cost! But the sandwiches could be a little more simple instead of trying to be overly creative!

I stopped in here for the first time a couple days ago while I was on my way to work. They have a great selection of smoothies, juices, salads & snacks. I ordered the «Sunshine» which was delicious. I will say I was a bit shocked with the price. I got the 16 oz and it was $ 9.00…which is a lot! I understand they use fresh, organic, local stuff… but come on. They are the only shop like this in the area. I wish they would come down to earth a bit.

I visited today for the first time. I had the Mexicano panini and a 16 oz iced coffee. I thought the panini was good. The iced coffee was a bit off for my tastes. It’s not worth $ 2.50 for a 16 oz coffee. The panini was $ 8.50 and for the price and ingredients it was worth it. I thought the price was questionable at first, but it flavor was great and I was full in the end; that’s what mattered to me.
If you’re in to fast service or in a rush, this might be a place to skip. Also, if you’re used to more normal places that don’t push new-​age nutrition, which is somewhat of a farce, you may not enjoy the lack of sugar. My coworker paid too much for a cold, chai tea. The guy is frugal and for how much he paid, I’m surprised he left it there almost full. It was too bland for his tastes.
I think I might go back here, but only if New World Tortilla next door has a long line and I’m in a rush, which is why I ended up here today.

The reason why these reviews vary so much is because the staff and speed vary so much. Here’s the thing though, you have to reduce that variation if you want to run a successful place. The staff should always be courteous, and you’re running a coffee shop, things need to come up with a reasonable speed. I’ve had some great staff, but I’ve also had terrible staff that aren’t trained and have terrible attitudes. I’ve had things come out fast when nobody else is there, and I’ve had to wait a long time even when only two or three people are ahead of me.
One thing that doesn’t vary is that this place is expensive, which I would be willing to easily pay, if staff and speed was under control. You can go to healthy living and get great service, courteous staff, and 30% cheaper prices on smoothies /​juices.

This place seems to be really stepping it up lately. Since they’ve first opened they have put a wall between the hair salon and the café (finally!) and improved their menu tenfold.
Their panini’s are amazing and they now offer many more smoothie options than before. This is an great little café!

I have to rewrite my recent review of Eco bean because my prior experience was just just ok, my review wasn’t the most positive, but I have the most respect and a grateful feeling when the owner of a company reaches out to make your experience more pleasurable, which is exactly what happened in my case… this time My juice was amazing and decently priced. I understand organic is not a cheap way to live And appreciate the time and effort justin has taken to make this affordable and healthy. The venue is great. Open and very well lit. I would highly recommend to anyone. It’s a great concept for health and beauty! They also have great hair products at their salon. grab a juice and browse :)

Honestly, I’m surprised this place doesn’t have a higher Unilocal review! I feel compelled to share my appreciatioin for this place.
Pros:
— Only REAL smoothie joint in the area. Super healthy and delicious smoothies with awesomeness like Blue Green Algae, probiotics, Maca powder, etc. Can’t find that at any other juice bar in town.
— Employees behind the bar are always friendly and informative
— They have other cool snacks from small purveyors like kombucha, granola bars, chocolate with chaga mushrooms, etc.
Cons:
— You can sometimes end up waiting 10 minutes for your smoothie, but not a big deal to me.
— The only real con I have is it sucks it’s pricey (about $ 8 for a super smoothie). But it might just be the cost of the ingredients are high since the quality is high.
