This is a very good place when you want to taste amazing healthy food. I’ve known the name for years, but the first time I went to the store was this weekend. I will be a loyal client from now on. The food is just amazing. Try the bowls!!!

Are you kidding me… So we ordered a large Calypso(strawberry, banana, peach) smoothie and received a medium. They immediately apologized and went to «fix» the mistake by dumping the contents back into the blender, added more ice, blend blend blend, and poured the smoothie into a large cup. End results? A smoothie that tasted horribly watered down. 2 stars because we also ordered a medium-sized Peach E-Keen smoothie(peach, strawberry, banana, soy milk, honey) and that was delicious. They also have a customer loyalty card where with the 10th drink is free(all 10 must be smoothies or juice, etc).

This is one of the better places to eat along a block of depressing mediocre restaurants. Their food is made to order so expect to wait about 15 – 20 minutes for your food or more if they are busy. I usually just get the lunch version of their rice bowels as they fill me up and keep me going until dinner so that is what my review will be based on. Poached Salmon bowl is my usual go to dish since they have never messed it up. The salmon is poached to perfection. It is so tender it falls apart with a plastic fork! The vegetables are cooked well without any of them being raw. The mango salsa is somewhat bland but the rest of the dish makes up for it. The J.F.L. bowl is hit or miss. The flank steak may be chewy at times. But this dish is always flavorful thanks to the teriyaki glaze sauce you get with it. Also, because lots of people ask for various smoothies and juice cocktails, expect the noise level to be up there as they are using the blender frequently. Just a heads up if you were looking forward to a quiet atmosphere to read a book or plan something out during your lunch you should probably take your order to go. I will be trying more items on their menu in the future.

I enjoy the smoothies here a lot, but yesterday was the last straw! I’ve grown to expect the bad service and nasty attitude. The young ladies behind the counter always seem to be more concerned with their personal conversations rather than service; they manage to get my orders right, so I deal with the long waits and uncooperative behavior. Yesterday was a different experience, which was hard to believe the encounter even happened. I ordered three smoothies to go. It took the usual«forever» to get made even though I was the only one on the order line at the time. I’m a seasoned«Rude for Life» customer, so I know I better have plenty of money in the meter and be ready to wait. While I sat there waiting a number of other customers came in, placed their orders and left, but I knew the drill and just hung in there… 15 minutes later my smoothies were finally ready. The young lady that made them placed them in a cardboard tray on the counter and went on with her business. No thank you, no nothing, but that’s okay. I’m accustom to the way they do business. I asked her if she can put them in a plastic bag. I waited a bit after she did a few other tasks, she finally arrived and placed the bag on the counter. I was a bit dumbfounded, because she didn’t put the drinks in the bag and just went back to what she was doing. So, I was left standing there mesmerized by the lack of care or concern from her or anyone else behind the counter. I asked the young man that originally took my order when they were going to place my drinks in the plastic bag. He replied, «why couldn’t you do it.» I replied, «I only had one hand available.» His reply to that was, «That’s not my problem,» in a rude and unfriendly manner. I freakin’ lost it. I could not believe this settled way of thinking. Such a terrible attitude to have for a food service business. This guy could not give a flying freak about me, my order, or how I felt about my negative experience. I asked for my money back and left the place. Question: Is it my responsibility to put the purchased goods in the bag or is it the person behind the counter’s duty? What in the world is wrong with this place? Where is the boss? Where is the manager? Could that guy be the manager? If so, how was he trained? I’m done with«Rude for Life!»

I really like establishments that offer customers a wide variety of healthy choices. I’m a huge fan of the blackened chicken and black beans here, but I think that the sweet potatoes can be improved… why not bake them with some spices using coconut oil instead of steaming them and leaving the skins on? I also really love the Teriyaki Chicken wrap here because it tastes very good. I couldn’t believe how low the calorie count was, which is always cause to celebrate. My only suggestion would be to please, please, please go organic or at least local! That’s the only thing keeping me from giving this place 5 stars.

As I always tell my friends this place will pop off, fresh juices, clean ingredients, and various of sauces. My favorites are honey Dijon chicken and Melina’s cure with a shot of weed grass.

Want healthy takeout? This is the place to get it. Ordered the nutty chicken teriyaki wrap and the havana wrap. Both were healthy and good. Would order from here again.

I always enjoy the food and smoothies here. I workout 4 – 5 days a week and always order juice for life for lunch on those days. I feel great and feel good ready for my workout

After sucking air at the gym for an hour, the last thing I should do is to counteract the small good I’ve done for my body by chowing down on Chinese takeout. Unfortunately, that was precisely what was happening all too often because that’s what’s most readily available in my neighborhood. That is, until my gym instructors clued me into this place. The owners of this establishment were definitely using their business noggin when they chose to break ground where they are. They’re not only a mere block away from my gym; there are several other fitness arenas nearby, with one that even shares a wall with them. So far, I’ve made two visits and both times, the juicer and blender were already grinding away noisily to produce drinks for customers — maybe not so great for ambiance but certainly promising if you’re looking for freshness. The juice menu has a good number of preconfigured fruit and veggie combos with names that seem to give a respectful nod to health and gym junkies, like The Hulk, Youth Potion, and Muscle Head. I tried the latter on my first visit — a juice mix of carrots, celery, apple, and beets. Not being a huge fan of celery, I asked them if I could replace it with kale and the woman at the counter accepted my sub request amicably. When I asked to make my own combo of fruits and veggies during my second visit, I found that they were just as willing. A ‘jumbo size’ is 20 ounces, and it cost me only $ 6, which I think is very fair considering the arm and a leg that other juice bars charge for freshly made juices. I loved that my drinks were made fresh upon order and since the juicer was right behind the counter, I could see everything that was going in. Since I’m usually hot and stunk up from a workout, I always take my order to go, but there is a well-sized seating area if I chose to sit in. Juice For Life is amenable for your other healthy liquid needs, as they have a pretty extensive smoothie and protein shake menu. Not only do they have a good variety of decently priced flavors, they have all kinds of add-ins like wheatgrass, flavored isomer, flaxseed, and granola that you can choose to supplement your drink for a small charge. For the dairy-disinclined, almond milk can be used as a substitute and they do have vegan protein powders(but only vanilla flavored). I’ve talked at length about the meals-in-a-cup varieties, but most of their menu is actually dedicated to their foodstuffs, like wraps, rice bowls, and salads. I’ve not partaken yet but they have a good mix of meat-basked and vegetarian meals that are helpfully marked with calorie counts for each. I’m beyond the moon that I’ve discovered this solid place by my gym and will definitely be back to try more, especially now that I’ve got a frequent customer card(get it hole-punched every time you order a chilled oatmeal, smoothie, or juice and get one for free once you collect ten punches).

I have been eating JFL for YEARS and many many times. They deserve a solid review. They are always consistent except for their juices here & there which is understandable. Yes they are portrayed as a healthy place which they are. Could they be healthier, yes.(add quinoa!) However their are only two other local«health spots» around” that’s a wrap and pure &JFL takes the cake in a long shot. I’ve had everything from bowls, salads, wraps, dishes, protein shakes, brunch you name it. It is all delish. Take a look over the menu and go for something in your taste buds and you wont be disappointed. If you’re opting for something very healthy stay clear of the sauces/dressing(as with anything) because they will obv boost up those calories.(although they are all so yummy) Same goes for the smoothies/juices. The smoothies tend be a little sweet so if you’re really trying to shed go for the juices. The brunch is really good and comes with a little juice. We all know JFL has some of the best oatmeal so know need to mention that. Delivery usually takes rather long but i guess that is due to their high volume. Overall JFL usually never lets me down.

I’ve been coming here for years for a quick wrap and fresh juice. I’m giving it 3 stars because it’s inconsistent at times. Overall it’s a great place to go especially when you want something«clean».

This place is right next door to my gym. Perfect for an after work out meal. Staff is very friendly. Food is awesome! I got the tuna de pica and a green tea iced tea. And prices are decent. Definitely coming back.

This place has decent food and everything is healthy which is a bonus, but the customer service is really crappy. There are a LOT of signs on the walls discouraging rude or impatient customers but the staff is not friendly whatsoever. Maybe it’s just me, but things like that can really turn me off from a business. There are a lot of options for vegetarians and I believe there are a couple of vegan options as well. The juices are pretty good, I would recommend a green juice or a juice with a lot of berries. I forget the specific names.

The food is great! I have ordered from them 3 times in the past week. However, each time I walk in the store I am greeted like crap. No Hi, how are you?, did you call for an order? Nothing. Just WHATSTHENAME?. With a puss on there faces. I give them money in their hand they put my change down on the counter as I am extending my hand out. No good bye, have a nice day, nothing. NOTFRIENDLYATALL. Always get a bad taste in my mouth and it’s not from the food.

Been coming here for a long time from HS till now. I do miss that big old sofa but the restaurant did look more spacy. I always get my Havana(spinach) wrap and extra Sun Dried Tomato Sauce which is soooooo yummy! I did tried a few of their smoothies in the past… pretty yummy! If you are a health nut, Juice For Life is a good place for you and its right next to the Powerhouse Gym =)
