Lizz Creative Juices

Well folks! I wish i could comment about the service or the juices, but unfortunatly i never had the chance. After completing an intense 21 day ayurvedic cleanse, i was really looking forward to coming here so i could continue my healing routine fresh juicing. I was extremely dissapointed with this place. I arrived at the store, walked in the store and NO ONE was there. I waited 20min inside thinking maybe something happened and they needed to step out for a minute… nope. I called the number on their site and as i expected, the phone rang in the unattended shop. Seriously! Shame on you! If you are not going to have someone at the shop during the hours YOU adverised, then at least put up a sign. Great concept, but poor management. Im really hoping that fxbg gets a new juice bar.

After walking by this place for about 6 months my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try, along with our husbands. Nice, clean and airy space, pretty colors. So far, so good. We noticed two other women waiting for their orders. A young lady took our order, two orders of Mexican wraps and two orders of Thai wraps, two fresh pressed juices. Whopping $ 63.00 bill. Ok, an HOUR LATER we receive the order. All of the orders were on two plates, each wrap was $ 10.75 and were the size of a slender hot dog. Fresh, tasty but ridiculously over-​priced and the wait was ridiculously long. Kept hearing how sorry they were, some staff didn’t show up for work, blah, blah, blah. WILL NOT be going back!

I’m not a big reviewer, but I had to take the time to write DO NOT GO HERE! Juice lady from hell & overpriced beyond compare! We ordered 2 small juices & 1 small smoothie. $ 24. Sure, they were good, but c’mon. We were the only ones in there. She started making our order. In the midst she got 2 other customers. Instead of asking them to wait, she took their orders which took quite a long time. We waited 40 minutes to get our juices. Just ridiculous. Don’t waste your time.

had my first juice last week at the 915 location and met liz. the juice was great and the food looked incredible,. i hear nothing but good things and looking forward to getting back dave

Very clean, quant, eclectic place. Food is fresh and you get good quality. Rawfoodist will love it and any vegan that actually eats veggies. They offer meat to those who want to add it to dishes but trust me, you don’t need it. The food is great and straight out of the garden! I don’t think she adds sugar or salt either. If she does its very little. Smoothies are smaller than I thought they would be but are really tasty. NOT your tropical smoothy which is a mix made with sugar and a little fruit added. No, this is REAL food served here. Hope people visit it more and it stays open! The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is you have to wait for the good food while its prepared and its pricey. Worth it though. BTW. I’m not vegan. I just needed to get my veggies on. Lol

Lots of healthy juice and smoothie offerings. The prices are high, but this is Fredericksburg, you know what else is high? Rent. I can’t go here all the time because of the price, but I’ll come back to try other flavors (I juice at home). If you’re looking for a juice snack devoid of concentrates and processed materials, you’ll probably want to check out Lizz Creative Juices.

Being a 25-​year vegan & having been quite underwhelmed with vegan restaurants in the past (especially all-​raw ones), I took my 10-​year old there for lunch today with the expectation bar set pretty low. Well, I was mistaken. We each took advantage of the $ 20 «Restaurant Week» deal, and got to share appetizers of eggless salad w/​raw veggies and living hummus with seed crackers, olives, & veggies; entrees of zucchini & beet «spaghetti» with raw tomato sauce & meatlessballs and a hummus, nut, & veggie wrap in a collard leaf; and desserts of a raw dried fruit & nut cannoli with chocolate/​mint glaze; and frozen strawberry mousse.
The appetizers were a delicious start. Smooth, creamy eggless salad was heavily spiked with curry flavor, and the living hummus had a subtle sweetness and almost effervescent quality that was quite unusual & delicious. My daughter, not normally a hummus fan, quickly claimed the bowl for herself. The raw seed crackers were hearty & crispy, a nice accompaniment to each dip.
The Meditteranean wrap was pretty straightforward, but delicious, featuring more of the live hummus, along with some nuts & veggies, wrapped in a giant collard leaf. The leaf was tender & easy to eat, and the whole dish was pretty darned good. The hooch-​coated kale chips on the side were pretty standard fare: crispy, yeasty, & nice.
The highlight of the meal was the «spaghetti». L-​o-​n-​g turns of beet & zucchini were topped with a raw tomato sauce (which nostalgically reminded me of my Mom’s gazpacho), nut & seed meatlessballs, and assorted veggies, raw, cured & dried. The texture of the «spaghetti» was perfect, and it harmonized perfectly with the tangy sauce & savory balls. Miranda, again, dove right in to unfamiliar territory, nomming the beets like crazy after being initially quite skeptical.
Both desserts were fine, but far from the stars of the show. The cannoli had the most «health-​goody» flavor of the meal & was our least favorite item (though its accompanying chocolate/​mint glaze, tasting like a melted Girl Scout cookie, was exceptional. The strawberry mousse was served too frozen (like a rock), but yielded a pleasant almond/​fruity goodness when allowed to thaw for a few minutes. Nothing too special, but a solid ending to a delightful meal.
I thought value was pretty good with the «Restaurant Week» special. Looking over the menu, a similar feast would have run us a lot more under normal conditions (but it is unlikely we would have pigged out nearly as much), so be ready to open your wallet for what you get. In my opinion, it’ll be worth it & you won’t be disappointed.

My friend and I decided to give this place a shot since we are vegan and have never been before. When we walked in we were the second in line and we waited 10 mins to order while the woman working spoke of personal issues with the customer in front of us. We then told her what we wanted and then she asked the customer behind us her order and then proceeded to complete her order and ring her up before she started on ours. While waiting in line I noticed there was a container of chemicals next to the food area, food out everywhere along with crumbs and other food items all over the floor. The woman was wearing heels which clearly slowed her down and made it difficult to walk and had her hair in her face while making our food.
We ordered a smoothie assuming it would be fresh ingredients considering the price. We then witness her pull out a Wegman’s bag and a Dole bag of frozen fruit. The dole fruit, I know for a fact, is not organic and not something I’d purchase for myself to eat.
So, 20 minutes later, we receive our smoothie in a Dixie cup with a coffee lid? Strange experience, probably won’t be back, which is sad considering it’s one of the few places in Fredericksburg that advertise organic and raw food options. :(

The Mediterranean wrap and the juice were very fresh and super delicious but WOW was it expensive! A very small wrap and a juice was $ 22. I frequent the juice bar in Richmond, and I juice at home, so I am well versed in the cost of health food and juice. This little spot is charming and good, but if they don’t being prices down, I fear they won’t make it.

We need a place in Northern Virginia like Lizz’s! Not only can you get the best fresh juices here, but they also have delicious raw vegan food! I love the burrito & the raw pizza and even the salads are savory and delicious. The food is prepared with love and is incredibly appetizing, to even meat-​eaters. (I took my boyfriend here to test it!) I live in Alexandria, but come through the Fredericksburg traffic just to visit this place whenever I can.

Overpriced.
If you want good organic juice, do it yourself. There are plenty of free juice recipes on line — Google Reboot with Joe for inspiration and free detailed recipies, guidance. Joe is the guy in the Fat Sick and Nearly Dead film (you can see the film free on youtube) in which he makes juices himself daily and it helps his health.
Give this business a pass. :\

Amazing and super healthy food!

The juice was awesome. I would have given it a 5 for the actual juice, a 3 for price. However. We went on a saturday morning when they were short staffed and it was only the owner, Liz, working. It was our first time there and we were looking forward to being regular customers. We would have had NO issue with the wait, we waited 15 – 20 min for our juice. The only thing that really bothered us was how the owner was speaking/​acting and how horrible she spoke to her poor father who came in to help her! I felt SO bad for him. He was very sweet and trying his best to help. One thing I have learned with customer service, is it does not really matter the situation as long as you keep your customer service EXCELLENT and go above and beyond (in this case maybe an I’m sorry or thanks for waiting) Overall, the place was good and fresh. I would have loved it if the owner would have had an ounce of customer service to provide though. I probably will go back just to see if maybe there will be a different experience.

Such a clean, crisp and fresh environment. The juice was fantastic! My dad and I had a wonderful kale/​ginger/​green apple/​lemon/​mint drink. So refreshing and felt so good after I drank it. The kitchen is lovely and the staff is wonderful. Can’t wait to go back. It’d be perfect to get a juice to go and sit in the park across the street. Talk about treating your body well! Can’t wait to see how much this business will expand and take off!

I have to confess, I was more than a bit skeptical about juicing, but curiosity won out and I finally stopped in at Lizz Creative Juices a few weeks ago. I can honestly say that I was instantly hooked! The staff are all incredibly friendly, not to mention willing to answer any and all questions that you may have. If you are not sure about what to order when you first come in, just ask! I highly recommend their weekly Summer juice program — you sign up in advance to pick up your quart (or pint if you prefer) of juice on Tuesdays and/​or Thursdays. Currently their offerings are «Pucker Up» and «You Glow» — I am not sure which I prefer as they are both utterly amazing. Recently, I was out of town for a few days and had to temporarily suspend my order — by the time I came home, I was literally jonesing for my weekly juice fix!
In addition to the fantastic and extremely helpful staff, the venue itself is lovely: the setting is very tranquil/​soothing and would be a great place to meet a friend for lunch — in addition to their juices and smoothies, they serve an extensive array of vegan and raw foods. I also think that it would be an ideal place to host an event (such as a book group).
One common criticism of juice bars is their prices. However, I would argue that given the sheer quantity of vegetables and fruit that go into even an 8 oz. serving, the prices at Lizz Creative Juices are actually very reasonable, particularly given that the majority of their ingredients are organic. Also, when you think about the prices that national coffee chains charge for their beverages, not to mention their questionable processed ingredients and extremely high calorie count, a serving of freshly squeezed juice is a veritable bargain. Plus, can you really put a price on good health?
Oh, one last perk — while I’m not claiming that it is solely due to my visits to LCJ, I have lost 7 lbs. in the past 3 weeks. Lizz does offer diet and nutrition classes, and although I have not yet signed up for a session, I am planning on doing so soon to further my weight loss!

I travel a lot for work and always look for the nearest health food stores, restaurants, juice bars, etc. Very Glad to have stumbled upon this spot while visiting Fredricksburg. I got a couple organic green juices, a wheetgrass shot and the cacao clarity smoothie. All were made with fresh ingredients and made to order. The owner said they will be serving raw food options soon and now offer raw meals on a made to order basis. Check this place out if you are in the Fredricksburg area and looking for a healthy tasty treat!
