Liquiteria

Mealpass pickup here is awful, evidenced on three tries… stick with 17^th st.

This Liquiteria cannot handle a crowd of smoothie seekers. I’ve been here many of times usually post-​workout for a smoothie (Mean Green) or an acai bowl. If the location is empty all is well and I receive my overpriced smoothie or peanut butter acai bowl in a timely fashion though the quality is sometimes questionable (i.e. a gross glob of peanut butter in my acai bowl). However, the problem is that if there are more than 6 people waiting for their order it will most likely take 25 minutes to receive my drink. Which would be fine if… actually, that’s not OK. In the past they have given my order to another person which is just too inconvenient and annoying for me to shrug off. I usually do anyway. It also irks me that more often than not there’s a ridiculous amount of smoothie left in the blender once your smoothie is served. If you pay for protein… why is your protein being left in the blender? Am I crazy to advocate that you get what you pay for in it’s entirety. Regardless their smoothies are much better quality than their competition so I usually justify complying with their hefty price tag; however, I much rather go to their 2^nd avenue location since they seem to be much more efficient AND offer free cucumber water.

Came here for a Mealpass pickup. Had to wait in line and wait for my smoothie to get made, which is against MealPass’s policy. Place was also filthy with flies roaming around. Definitely not coming back.

I am a big fan of Liquiteria and go to the flatiron and meatpacking locations several times a week. Today was my first time at this location. Unfortunately they did a terrible job with my Blue Velvet smoothie – it was barely blended. As I sip it now, there are noticeable chunks of ice, a disturbing amount of blueberry skin, and pieces of almond. I am literally drinking a chunky stew out of a straw and it is not pleasant. Will not be going back to this location!

I wish Miami had Liquiteria locations! This is a great juice bar for those moments when you’re on the go and you just need a little boost. Service was fast and friendly. Wish there was somewhere to eat at this location, and a public restroom would also be nice. Still, this place caters nicely to those who are on the go.

If you’re feeling basic and ready to splurge a bit today, head over for a smoothie of your dreams! There’s a whole slew of options ranging from meal replacements, protein packed smoothies, to just a simple refreshing splash of fruits and deliciousness. They also offer acai bowls and little snacks by the cash. The wait is a little lengthy but definitely worth it. Perfect for a post gym snack.

This is my favorite location of Liquiteria! Discovered the chain from the original 2^nd Ave location, but I think this one is more bright and airy. The best part is the staff. I think my two favorites have since left, but I still really like the people. The staff member who wears cateye liner is the nicest!
Here’s my favorite smoothie for when I want a substantial mini-​meal — bulldozer, substitute almond butter for peanut butter, and add a TON of cinnamon.
One of the aforementioned favorite staff members taught me this one — bulldozer, substitute SUNFLOWER butter for peanut butter, add frozen strawberries + cinnamon. WHOA.

My roommate freshman year introduced me to Liquiteria’s acai bowls, and I’ve been hooked ever since! The mean green smoothie is definitely my favorite. Solid breakfast option, as it will totally help you power through your morning. A bit pricey ($ 18 breakfast every day isn’t ideal), but if you’re complaining you can show yourself to the jamba juice down the street. Freshest ingredients are always worth it.

I usually come here for my green juice. But now there’s a promotion. Download the Level Up Liquiteria app on your cell phone and get $ 5 off anything in the store. I got myself the Green juice without fruits. Good for mornings and cleansing the body. I love the free mini tote bag. I use it for everything on the go. Love this store.

I love Liquiteria. If I had to go any where in the city for juice or smoothie, it would be there. There’s several locations around the city, but this location is one of my favorites since it’s closest to my gym. I’ve tried a bunch of different kinds, but I must say my personal favorite is the Mean Green. I usually splurge and add a boost. Not only are they healthy, their fricken good.
Downfall, I wish it wasn’t so pricey. The Mean Green is priced at $ 8 but if you factor in the boost plus tax, it rounds to about $ 10. That’s definitely a meal in my mind. So, worth the $$ if you’re into juices like myself.

I’ll start by saying this. I’m usually not on a health kick. I eat whatever I want whenever I want. I found it so hard to maintain my two shakes and a meal plan that I had going on for about two days until I found this place! I order a green juice twice a day everyday and then eat a meal for dinner.
The pros: it’s healthy, and delicious
The con: it’s a little bit on the pricey side but it is definitely worth it if you’re into juices.

My smoothie was delicious, the «berry powerful». It wasn’t too sweet & it was very filling. I liked the added protein & flax seed, which *might* possibly justify the cost… easily could make the same smoothie at home. I didn’t like that it was disorganized with so many customers in the store. I waited here for a while & no one at the counter/​register seemed to want to give direction — «hi can I help you» or «have you ordered?». I actually left the shop after waiting in a line, and returned several minutes later only to find out that the line was for people that had already ordered. Oddly enough I had asked another girl there in line who was also confused. The juices in the refrigerated section look awesome — but just too pricey.

It’s okay. I was hungry and thirsty. With only 15mins to spare getting both needs met I opted for a smoothie (I can drink and speed walk to my appt with this), and this was right on my path.
Def overpriced but my stomach was a in bind. It’s nothing better than what I whip up in my own vitamix at home.
I ordered the Mean Green

Came here for breakfast one day and ordered the green acai bowl. It was pretty standard, the granola they use is NOT gluten-​free if anyone is wondering. It was tasty and very sweet, if you’re not repulsed by green goop as breakfast!

I have been coming here for years. The person on the register is so rude here.
I wanted to change my order and was happy to not change it if it had already been started. The person told me that it wasn’t started and had a manager come change it.
After waiting for 15 minutes, I went to enquire where my order was. And she was so rude, telling me «you have to wait, there is a line». Even though I was there before everyone else. Just because they had to change my order, doesn’t give the person the ability to a) be rude to me and b) it’s there duty to make sure I am put in the same order since I was her first.
Horrendous customer service

Had the mean green açai bowl. Talk about the perfect example of «don’t judge a book by its cover,» or in this case, «don’t judge an açai bowl if it looks like sewage because in reality it actually tastes AMAZING.» I’m serious. Since they put spirulina and other healthy green stuff in the açai bowl, the color comes out looking super funky and a bit unappetizing (sorry if I’m scarring you mentally right now with this review). But don’t fear, because the taste is SO GOOD. Great breakfast option.

I think I’ve tried all of their smoothies and love each and every one. My favorite is «the skinny». It’s strawberry, banana, apple cider, and «fat burner» it’s light but filling and gets me going. They also have juice cleanses you can buy for 1 day, 3 days or just 1 single juice. They also have soups, sandwiches, and healthy desserts. You can also modify any of you smoothies or juices by adding extra nutrition or greens.

Consistently the worst liquiteria. It seems like everyone is moving at a glacial pace, forgotten orders, drinks ¾ filled, terrible attitudes, and a lack of anyone in charge. Better to walk a few blocks to the 2^nd ave liquiteria.

1. Get the bulldozer but with almond butter and cinnamon. It’s my custom order :)
2.Coconut water: the pink ones = better
3. Coffee n cacao is everything. I usually get it with zero or half the coconut sugar, and it’s just as good in my opinion.
4. I was addicted to the pb acai bowl for a good year. The green acai bowl is good but sometimes it’s too watery in consistency for me.

I pass by this location every time I go to the Crunch next door (partnership? hint hint), but I’ve only been inside a few times. Once, I got a smoothie with a bunch of random add-​ins, including their liver-​kidney-​lymph detox, and acai berries. Love acai berries! They also do acai bowls, which are awesome with granola and peanut butter on top. My roommate is into those.
My most recent visit was to go pick up two servings of the one-​day Level 1 Cleanse: Explore and Nourish. I had roped my coworker into doing it, so I told the guy I needed two portions (aka two days), and he was very supportive. He even drew a smiley face on one of the bottles! Thanks, guy!
The cleanse is made up of 6 juices: 1 All Greens, 2 All Greens with Apple, 1 Skin Trip, 1 Beets Me (I replaced it with Mr. G, since they were out of Beets Me… both juices have beets in it, and similar ingredients, though Mr. G doesn’t have lemon), and 1 Royal Flush (there seems to be a new formula, since the old Royal Flush had more stuff in it, but this new one only has pineapple, apple, and ginger… haven’t been able to get any info on this).
The rules of the cleanse are simple – no solid foods for one whole day, and drink one juice every 2.5 to 3 hours. My juices were packed in their signature little blue totes, and labelled on the caps (1 – 6, in the order you drink them). There’s a little info sheet included for reference.
Overall, I thought all the juices were good. The All Greens was a little harder to finish, but I don’t mind cucumber or celery, which are the strongest flavors in the juice, so it was fine for me. As for the Royal Flush, I agree with most of the cleansers on the internet that it was the best one of the bunch. BUT, the ginger aftertaste was powerful, and left residue on my tongue. Nevertheless, I would certainly get any of these juices on their own in the future.
The downside is definitely the price. $ 8+ for 16oz of juice is not as bad as it can be, but it’s still pretty high. I think I will stick to their food items, with the occasional juice as a treat.
The atmosphere of the place is nice – clean, warm lighting, helpful/​funny workers, and a general sense of well-​being. Also, it smells nice. There’s a bit of a tropical feel to it as well, but not the fake grass kind like in other juice places, more like a ‘cool, this place could be on a beach in Cali instead of freezing NYC.’
