Pressed Juicery

I recently had oral surgery and was restricted to a liquid diet for a few days. I researched and sampled some of the available juice bars in town and was very happily surprised when I came to Pressed Juicery. Not only were their juices all really tasty but the juice cleanses were more affordable than some of the competition I had checked out. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and they will let you sample any bottle they have in the store.
I chose the 2 day cleanse and was very happy with it. There is a set selection of juices for the day but you can choose to customize your options if there is a flavor you’re not crazy about. I didn’t feel like I was starving, in fact there were only a couple times I had twinges of hunger. Overall a very satisfying experience.
I highly recommend Pressed Juicery, whether you are cleansing or just looking for a healthy and satisfying drink!

Not overpriced — $ 39 for a cleanse, clean, CUSTOMIZED not like at Nektar where they just make you drink what they give you. Juice tastes better and cleaner. Great service when I was there.

The service is friendly but careless.
After I told them the one I tasted is too sweet and I want to sample something light, they gave me a sweeter juice.
Nothing is fresh pressed.
Everything is pre-​juiced in the bottle.
I sampled everything and everything is just overly sweetened, especially the green juices.
— The most green juice is too sweet and left an unpleasant acid after taste on the tongue. Nasty!
—Nut shakes were chunky and very sweet. It’s like drinking those weight loss chocolate/​vanilla shakes. Nasty!
—The coconut juice tasted almost like sugar water. How did that happened? For a few dollars you can get real coconut water out of green coconut. They don’t taste like sugar water.
—Yuzu tasted like expired Fanta, at least Fanta have a «orange» taste, this one is scent less sugar water with an orange coloring.
I’ll fix my juice craving at home with my beloved Omega juicer or the juice bar at Whole foods. At least WF pressed fresh vegetables and fruits in front of you.

This rating is for service only. The juices are amazing and I was very disappointed to receive such terrible ignorant service today.
It was Saturday evening approximately 5pm. I walked in with my five year old daughter — there were no other patrons in the shop. I was so thirsty and was very excited to get my green juice since I did not juice at home this morning. I walked in, two girls were behind the counter talking. One looked at me and looked away not greeting me or my daughter as we grabbed a menu. Not even a smile. The two girls continued talking to eachother and I was ready to order — if you know the Irvine spectrum location you know that there is a very intimate space between the register counter area and where you order. I was a couple of feet away from them — they knew I was right in front of them. Holding the menu in hand and staring at them for a few awkward seconds… They didn’t budge and continued to talk. Frustrated, I put the menu down and walked out. I didn’t even say anything to them because it was so obvious I was being ignored. It’s a bummer because their juice is super yum. Unfortunately their customer service is not on par with their product. I’m a former district manager and I know employees have off days here and there. But this was embarrassing. Perhaps they don’t need any repeat customers? I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just have to remember to juice at home. Saved $ 10 on two bottles of juice today. Oh well — sorry pressed juicery.

I am so glad there’s a Pressed Juicery right in Irvine Spectrum!
They have a friendly staff and fresh organic cold-​pressed juice! I love all of their seasonal juices but my FAVORITE is definitely the Grapefruit Mint.
Trust me; try it if you haven’t already!

Hands down the best juices. I have now done 3, 3 day cleanses. Not only will you lose weight, you will feel energized, sleep very well and feel healthy while doing it. I try to buy juices here often, not just only while doing a cleanse. My three-​year-​old son loves their green juices too, he is a very picky eater and never eats vegetables so I feel good knowing he’s getting some nutrition from the juices and I don’t have to push him into drinking them! This location is very accessible and I recommend buying the juices early in the morning while all of the other shops are still closed they open at 8 AM. The staff are very knowledgeable and very friendly. They also have a rewards program. Try them out, your body will thank you!

I’ve done juice cleanses before with Nekter and Ritual (now called Project Juice) but I had been wanting to try Pressed Juicery for awhile. They recently offered a deal and I decided to take advantage of the promotional opportunity and give them a shot.
Pressed offers 3 cleanse options where the juices are already pre-​determined, but you also have the option of picking your own juices. For the pre-​set juice cleanses, it’s basically beginner, intermediate and advanced. I decided to do a 3-​day cleanse and because I’ve done juice cleanses before I opted to do 2 days of cleanse #2 (intermediate) with 1 day of cleanse #3 (advanced) in between to give myself some variety. The cleanses typically come with 2 additional bottles of water (aloe vera H2O + chlorophyll water) but these were not included with the special promo. Regular cleanses = 6 juices + 2 waters = $ 39.50. The promo I used = 6 juices + no waters = $ 29.50.
Below are the various juices that I drank during the 3 days:
*Citrus 1 (cucumber, pineapple, lemon, coconut water, aloe vera)(120 calories) — Not too sweet, not too sour. Refreshing but a mildly strange aftertaste… not sure if it’s from the coconut water or aloe vera.
*Citrus 2 (pineapple, apple, lemon, mint)(240 calories) — On the sweet side but loved the mint aftertaste. It would probably pair well with vodka! :)
*Greens 1 (kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, cucumber, celery)(60 calories) — Being that it doesn’t have any fruit, it’s definitely «green» tasting with a slight bitter aftertaste. I’ve done juice cleanses before and don’t mind green drinks therefore am ok with it but it’s definitely not my favorite. Beginners may want to slowly build up to this concoction.
*Greens 2 (kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon)(140 calories) — The addition of apple and lemon help sweeten up this green drink. A safe, neutral drink for juice drinkers of all levels.
*Greens 3 (kale, spinach, romaine, parsley, cucumber, celery, apple, lemon, ginger)(140 calories) — Similar to Greens 2 but with ginger added. I love ginger and therefore I’m a fan of this one.
*Roots 3 (beet, apple, lemon, ginger)(200 calories) — A bit too sweet and tart for my taste.
*Vanilla Almond (almonds, dates, vanilla bean, salt)(420 calories) — Creamy and lightly sweet, anytime I do juice cleanses, the nut drinks are always my favorite! I think of it as a dessert to reward myself at the end of the day. The nut drinks in the other cleanses I’ve done before are better but this one wasn’t bad.
I have a big concern with Pressed and that’s due to the uncertainty of how they monitor the freshness of the inventory on the floor. None of the bottles are stamped with a best-​by-​date. After noticing there were no dates, I asked the gal in the store if I’d be OK purchasing the 3-​day cleanse all at once. She told me «yes» and that the juices are good for up to 3 days from date of purchase. Later at home I noticed the labels on the bottle also ask you to «enjoy within 3 days of purchase». But without dates on the bottle, how do they know how long the juices in the store have been sitting there and that they’ll still be good for 3 days. What if the inventory hasn’t been properly rotated?
Well…on my day 3, 3^rd bottle, I found black mold in the grooves of the lid. Pretty disgusting! I called the store and they told me to bring it in and exchange it. It was a bit of a hassle but I did exchange it later that day. I was a bit worried about drinking the remainder of the drinks but because the cleanse, even though it was discounted, was not cheap, I drank them anyway. Thinking back, I shouldn’t have taken the risk and I should have asked that they give me a refund for my entire 3^rd day.
Food safety is no joke and I’m not sure they realize the seriousness and implications. With all the recent issues Chipotle has been facing, Pressed Juicery should really re-​evaluate their operational practices before someone gets sick.
The juices themselves were pretty good and if it weren’t for the mold incident, I probably would’ve given them 4 stars. But due to the circumstances, I had to knock off 2 stars. I may go back to purchase single drinks, but I don’t plan on doing anymore cleanses with them unless they start monitoring and stamping dates on their bottles. And I’ll have to remember too to always open and check the drink while I’m still in the store.

Pressed Juicery is awesome. This space is clean and bright, embezzled inside the Irvine Spectrum. The staff rules. They’re super nice, funny and knowledgeable about their juices. Each staff member has their own favorite and will help you figure out what you’re in the mood for or what you need to hydrate and detoxify. Free samples are key. The staff will happily pour you a little of each juice you’d like to try. This is something I never experienced with other juice bars in NYC and LA. And I tell ya, it really makes you feel comfortable and genuinely good about buying a couple juices on the spot.
The juices are wonderful. They have coffee blends, hydrating waters with chlorophyll as well as coconut water blends. These range approximately $ 6. With the more filling, signature juices you’ll find them at $ 8 at most. My favorite juice is the «brazil nut». It is by far my favorite and the perfect pick-​me up midday. Inside the brazil nut is: romaine, kale, spinach, brazil nut, sea salt, vanilla bean and dates! My other favorite treat is the citrus 2 juice: pineapple, apple, lemon. This is so refreshing and has such a beautiful vibrant yellow color. It’s like it’s smiling back at you. For a more healthier option with less sugar and more greens, I like the green juices. I forget the exact number for the one green juice with cilantro in it, but that one is my favorite!
Juicing is not a cheap lifestyle. But Pressed Juicery makes it affordable to purchase a juice while shopping or ever so often cleanse for a couple days with their fantastic pricing. To me thats what truly puts them above other brands. They’re flexible in their cleanses too. You can choose exactly what juices you’d like for your cleanse whether 3 day or 5. And for signing up to their rewards program, you can receive 25% off your total order on the same day.
All juices are pre-​made and stocked in the cooler behind the cashier desk at the Spectrum location. I’ve never had a problem with them being out of a juice I wanted. They also order curb-​side pick-​up at this location which is extremely clutch as the parking in the Spectrum can be chaotic at times.
**My Tip: Keep in mind you can receive 25% off if you haven’t already signed up for their rewards program. Use this opportunity when you’re getting a cleanse! Save it when you’re just getting a single juice :)

I was traveling and my group was at the mall a little early for lunch, waiting on Javier’s to open. I was craving something with veggie nutrients and pleased to find a juice shop… A little bummed that they didn’t have smoothies, but juice would do the trick! The gals were sweet and when I was reviewing the many options, they offered me samples of some of their juices to help me decide. I settled on a root juice… I think #2. There were so many for my hungover indecisiveness. The almond ones were great too. The prices seemed fair at around $ 5 – 6, being that I’ve seen some places charge $ 9 – 10 for a simple juice. They also have yummy pre-​packaged healthy snacks for just $ 2 – 3. I bought the chocolate cocoa bites, and the granola bites. Both were clutch to have in my purse while bopping around town that weekend. Two thumbs up!

Fresh juices and a good selection! They let you sample whichever juices you want so you can try before you buy. I’ve always had very friendly and quick service here. The juice with the cayenne in it is really good, but beware it is a bit spicy so if you try it I think you might want to have some water with you as well. Some of the almond ones taste like dessert, but not overly sweet.

This is my new favorite juicery! I usually rotate between Mother’s Market, Whole Foods, and Nekter but after trying this place, I was addicted! I highly recommend trying a one day cleanse. It is costly, 6 juices + 2 cleansing waters will set you back $ 39.50. I have tried other one-​day juice cleanses and this one worked the best for me. It was highly cleansing but I also felt great! I wasn’t grouchy and hungry during the fast since I was drinking juice every 2 hours from the time I woke up. I also love how they number the juices so you know which one to drink next. Each juice in the cleanse is different and unique; I love the variety! Each juice is also very flavorful and not too sweet.
Favorites:
Greens 1.5, 2, 3
Roots 2
Citrus 2
Vanilla Almond, Coconut Cinnamon, and Chocolate Almond — on the sweeter side but so delicious!
Vanilla Coffee — tastes like an almond milk latte!
Aloe Vera and Chlorophyll water
They have 3 different cleanse kits — Cleanse 1 includes tasty, sweeter drinks for someone who is not used to green/​low sugar juices. Cleanse 2 is a mixture of greens with sweeter drinks. Cleanse 3, which is my favorite, has mostly green juices and lower sugar juices, for a more effective cleanse.
I give this location 4 stars since I prefer the location in Newport Beach in the Westcliff Plaza since it also sells freezes for a healthier indulgence.

I’ll admit, I’ve bought into the pressed juice craze. I’m all about Suja and love trying new pressed juices. But let’s also admit that many of them taste like poop. So, experimenting with a new juice brand is always hit or miss.
During my latest trip to Irvine, I stopped into the spectrum and was looking for an afternoon pick me up. I was pleasantly surprised by the juices here! They let you sample anything on the menu. I got one of the greens juices and loved it! The bottle prices are comparable to all others but I really liked the taste of the ones here. They also weren’t too heavy in sugar content, which is usually what makes them taste better. Overall, really great! I’m hoping they’ll make their way down to San Diego if they haven’t already so I can get more!

I’ve tried several different cold-​pressed juice places but Pressed Juicery is by far my favorite.
Why? Taste & Price!
As I’ve said before, I’m a meataterian so I’m not a fan of veggies, so why eat my greens when I can drink them? The juices here (yes, even the greens ones) to me are so well-​blended that I think of them more as a treat than as a toast to my wellness.
My favorites: Greens 2, Roots 3, Citrus 2… and it’s a tie between Vanilla Almond and Brazil Nut.
Not sure what to try? Just ask! They are always willing to give you a sample of any of the juices so you can try before you buy.
The blends are priced from $ 5.50 for coffees to $ 8 for the signatures. Other local cold-​pressed juices will run you an upwards of $ 10 – 12 on average per bottle. Pressed Juicery also runs specials every so often and will feature seasonal blends so be sure to check them out often!
Only downside to this location… NO freeze!

I’m all about healthy and since I didn’t have time to juice this morning and I was in the area, I decided to hit pressed up. I always walk by it when I’m at Irvine Spectrum but never had the chance to try it.
The employees were nice and realized it was my first time there. They let you sample anything on the menu before you make a choice. I sampled the citrus 1 first and it was yummy! There was another customer in the store and she said the greens 2 was delish so I sampled that next. I enjoyed both of the juices I sampled but I decided to get the greens 2 because I love kale and haven’t had all my greens for the day just yet. It is so yummy, fresh and just aca awesome!
The juices are normally $ 6.50 or so which is definitely steep but I signed up for their rewards program and got 25% off for signing up. My juice came out to be 4 ish something so that’s definitely a better price. You get a free juice on your birthday and I’m sure when your rewards stack up you can get something free.
I’ll for sure be back whenever I’m at the Spectrum and when I forget my homemade juice. Get healthy y’all!

I walked by the store with a friend and was extremely intrigued by the promotional sign for the «Lemonade with a Dark Side» — lemon lavender honey activated charcoal. We decided to stop in and ask to give it a try! We were pleasantly surprised by how friendly all of the staff was in helping us pick out the perfect juice on this unusually, extremely hot September day.
I must have tried at least four or five different juices before settling on my most favorite. However, I did not feel rushed in any way, nor did I feel like I was being a bother at any point during the process.
I ended up choosing the «Greens 5» juice — cilantro fennel orange pineapple romaine spinach. I loved it! It was incredibly refreshing and so fun on the tongue. The flavors are incredible in that you can actually taste each individual flavor, but the juice itself is also complete and very well pressed together. I loved that the bitter tones of this juice did not linger, and I liked that the sweeter tones were not too sweet. Definitely coming back.
Shout-​out to Stephanie for helping us out and for your great customer service!

What can you review at Pressed? I don’t know but I was just floored by how much nicer the employees here are than the several other locations I’ve been to. Why so friendly? How are they so generous with free samples? What is their secret? I don’t know, maybe it’s because this location is bigger than a matchbox, unlike the other locations.
Greens #2 or greens #5 till I die.

Came here on a Saturday morning a little before all the other stores started to open. Stephanie helped my sister and I, she was the BEST! She told us to feel free to ask her any questions and try any drink — it also helped that we were the only customers at that time haha. She told us what was in each drink, what it did and described the taste so we wouldn’t be shocked. Thanks Stephanie, I’ll be back and hopefully you’ll be working!
** if you sign up for their rewards program (FREE) you get 25% off your first purchase. I got 8 drinks for $ 40 and then it came out to be $ 30 after the discount. When you spend $ 100 you get a free drink and I believe half off your next cleanse ($ 40 worth). Hope I got that right

If you read my reviews, like my check-​ins or have met me in person, you know I don’t do healthy. I am the walking, talking antithesis on healthy eating and proud of it. So Pressed Juicery is the last place you would find a person like me.
Pressed Juicery started in the summer of 2010 with some friends getting together connected by their personal quests for health, well-​being … and juice. They wanted to create delicious, premium, and nutritious juice and Pressed Juicery was born. Starting out with a shop in Brentwood, they soon added a truck and another brick and mortar in West Hollywood. Today they are the leading the way cold pressed juicing in California having expanded in San Francisco and Orange County. There are also shops in Las Vegas and New York City.
While taking our usual Saturday morning walk around the Irvine Spectrum, we decided to pop into Pressed Juicery (
) and check out what they had to offer. The young lady behind the counter and the manager would very friendly and offered the better half and I several samples of their juices.
We were given some information about the concept, asked about our preferences and were offered several samples.
The menu (
) in broken down into Seasonal, Greens, Roots, Citrus, Fruits, Signature, Coffee, H2O, Classic and Coconut.
Laina was given samples of Greens 1 (Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Parsley, Romaine and Spinach), Roots 1 (Beet, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Kale, Parsley, Romaine and Spinach), Citrus 1 (Aloe Vera, Coconut h2o, Cucumber, Lemon and Pineapple), Coconut Cinnamon (Cinnamon, Coconut h2o and Coconut meat) and Activated Charcoal (
) while I sampled the Strawberry, Apple and Lime (
) and the Coconut Cinnamon.
Laina described the Roots 1 as quote «disgusting» and then offered me a taste. Gee … thanks! The Greens 1 wasn’t much better, but not as vile as the first sample. The Citrus 1 and Coconut Cinnamon were Ok and I did like the texture of the coconut meat. Laina liked the Activated Charcoal enough to purchase a bottle. This isn’t the briquettes you find in a grill, but an absorbing agent often used to pump stomachs. It absorbs all the toxins in your system and removes them. The best tasting bottle by far was the Strawberry, Apple and Lime (in my opinion). It was very balanced and you could taste all three fruits. All their juices come from farm fresh produce with no GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
Rohlinism: A (Quality) + B (Quantity) = C (Price)
The above is a simply formula determining the value of any purchase. If A + B is greater than C, you have found a good deal. If A + B is less than C, you are getting screwed over.
I will admit this place is probably around the cheapest I have seen for pressed juice, but I find most places charge ridiculous amounts of money. The staff was friendly and we were giving 25 percent off our first purchase and they have a rewards program ($ 1.00 spent = 1 point) and 100 points gets you a free bottle.
I enjoyed my juice enough to return in the future, but I doubt this will become a habit, it just isn’t how I roll. Sure you might live longer than me by eating /​drinking healthy, but do you really want to live to the point where your greatest accomplishment during the day is making it to the restroom on time? In the end, there is only one you can be certain of from the time you are born, one day you will die! It is how you enjoy the time you are allotted that really matters.

My husband and I love pressed juicery and when we heard that they opened up a location at irvine spectrum we were so excited!
My husband and I do a juice cleanse 1x a week and a 3 day cleanse every 4 months. Doing a cleanse makes us feel so good and healthy. If you are interested in doing a cleanse and never did one I would recommend cleanse 1… it’s for beginners and has the most calories. We do cleanse 2 and enjoy it… I never went past 3 days and I’m not sure if I can since I love to eat, but if can do it I would recommend getting it from here! The daily cleanse is $ 39.50 for 6 juices and 2 waters… which is A LOT cheaper than other places and it tastes great!
Another juice I highly recommend is the charcoal water!!! This definitely flushes out your body and you feel amazing after drinking it!

The short of it:
— new juice bar at the Irvine Spectrum
— great variety of pressed juices
— sells juice cleanses
— a bit pricey but tasty
— Favs: Citrus 1, Citrus 2
The long of it:
Nothing says SoCal more than a juice bar! I’m a sucker for juice bars and was excited to see that this particular one opened at the Irvine Spectrum. I’ve been hearing good things about this juice bar from friends. The store was a bit busy when I arrived. I loved how I was able to sample the different juices, probably tried about 6 different kinds. They have them categorized by greens, roots, citrus, fruits, coconut waters, etc. Menu was pretty straight forward and you just tend to gravitate towards the ingredients you like. I ended up getting the Citrus 1 and Citrus 2 which were both very tasty and refreshing. They also have one day juice cleanses for $ 39.50. A bit on the pricey side but these juices seem like quality products and they taste great! Can’t wait to come back and get some more juices!
