The Juice Merchant

The smoothies here are pretty good. Gia and I tried the coffeelicious and Hawaiian delight. Both unique in their own way.
The interior is immaculately clean, the furniture selection is fitting, and the lighting is pretty nice. Soft playing music in the background adds to ambiance. With that being said their smoothies are pricy. Id come back to try a salad or a whip, but still need to bite my lip when I look at the prices. Smoothie is delicious, 9 dollar cost is not.

Good juices but SLOW! Every time I have gone, I’ve had to wait forever for my juice and it’s not cheap!

I went to The Juice Merchant back when it first opened and had an «okay» experience. The prices were high and the wait was long, and they forgot my «pickle for a nickel». I love pickles, but I wasn’t totally heartbroken. I moved on.
I gave The Juice Merchant a second shot today with a friend and will not be returning. My friend and I walked in with nobody in line, ordered our two juices and a sandwich and took our seats. A large group was in line behind us, and after about 10 minutes they were all served their drinks. 25 minutes later, a staff member brought over my sandwich. When asked where our juices were he replied «oh … okay hold on». After sitting for a total of 40 minutes (YES 40 MINUTES) we finally received our two drinks. We expressed that we were disappointed with the service and he said «well there was a rush». We informed him that they had served the large group before us, he then argued with us that he was «busy» and «understaffed» and that the «manger had an emergency» so he wasn’t in, (we asked if we could speak with them). We asked if we could have contact information for a manager and his response was «I can give it to you later, I’m busy now». WOW. Please keep in mind that there were a total of 3 people in the entire building. 5 including the staff… and no one in line. Sorry, Juice Merchant, my money will be going elsewhere here forward.

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened and I finally did. It was SO GOOD. I ordered the Super Veg wrap and was not disappointed. The ingredients were extremely fresh and the wrap was packed! I could barely finish the entire thing. I wanted to try a smoothie but was too full. Next time for sure!

You are 100% going to leave The Juice Merchant spending more money than you expected. It’s just a fact. From $ 8 fruit smoothies and $ 12 kale salads, but your belly will feel nice and light but so will your wallet. The place has almost an industrial feel to it. Bright white, with giant containers of protein powder on display. I wasn’t a fan of my kale caesar salad dressing, and the owner whipped me up a brand new vinaigrette on the spot after I told her I liked garlicky, acidic dressings. Now that’s good service.

Yum! Finally got to try the whips here. The portion is very very large, my friend and I split a superfood whip and a juice each and were full. I have seen aci bowls around (mostly Instagram admittedly) and have been dying to try one. The superfood whip here definitely does not disappoint, lots of goodness packed into one bowl, sweet and tangy and just enough crunch with the granola. The green juices were just as good as before. The place is very clean and the service is friendly.
I can also speak to the freshness and locality of the products as they were getting a delivery of strawberries from a local farmer when I was there.

Glad to have them in the neighborhood and love the menu. Prices are a little steep but I think comparable to other overpriced juice bars. If they could lower the prices a tad I would be more of a regular. Lovely store always smells of fresh fruit!

Great new place with friendly and helpful employees who serve you with a smile! The acai bowl AKA superfood whip is the best I’ve ever had (and I have had many many acai bowls and make my own) with its excellent consistency, FRESH berries, and what I always like to add — coconut shreds. Rarely do you come across a place that goes the extra mile to put berries on top rather than just cheap banana slices. The bowls are filling and delicious.
However I am only giving the juice merchant 4 stars because they seem to be unprepared the couple times I have visited — running out of produce at an early hour or not having frozen bananas ready for the whips. It is a new place and I’m sure they will work out the kinks soon. Overall, very good I highly recommend!

So thrilled to have this in the neighborhood. I went to their opening and had some awesome free samples and have returned again for a smoothie. Employees are friendly and I really like the atmosphere. It’s so clean cool and refreshing in there. My only issue are the prices. Pretty steep. If you are someone that is sustained with a smoothie being a meal replacement then it makes sense to spend $ 7+ on it. But if you’re adding it onto lunch etc. it really adds up. I saw someone else commented on making everything completely organic and that makes sense to do with the current price point. I think that your out of towners strolling for the day won’t think much about the pricing (and that’s why that works here) but us neighborhood peasants on a budget who would frequent here may think twice about how often we do it.

This place has potential but it needs to be 100%organic. Acai bowls shouldn’t come in cardboard cups and $ 8 juices shouldn’t be gmo’d. I have no problem paying for quality foods with good ingredients, but until they go organic I’ll be making my own for ¼ of the price. Also, making a few additions to a smoothie can make it close to $ 15.

I have been to most juice bars in Philly and I would vote this spot as last place. I was in town for business recently and wanted to give this new place a shot.
The juice came out luke-​warm, the guy working the front desk was rude/​defensive when I asked if he had any idea if the menu was 100% organic.
The banana whip I had took about 12 mins to complete, which is 4x the normal time in California. This place needs a new manager/​owner to train the people working there.
The paint on the wall was nice and bright, I guess they just opened a few days ago, so thats the plus side of things.

The juice merchant has the potential of being a fabulous addition to Main Street. But for now, it is just inconsistent and disappointing. First off, aesthetically speaking, this place is eye-​catching. It’s all-​white exterior and interior has a way of capturing the eye, similar to Apple storefronts. Not to mention, their graphic logo is super chic and adorable. As for their actual products, you can find a great list of smoothies, juices, whips, and a few freshly prepared vegetable-​rich sandwiches. Thus far, I have been here twice– both on some squelching HOT days… so I have opted for the whips. The first time, I ordered a banana whip, comprised really of only frozen bananas and almond milk. It was good and just what I wanted (though a little steep in price…). The second time I came here, about three days later, I waited over TWENTY minutes for almost the same exact product: a banana-​peanutbutter whip this time. I guess the extra ingredient threw them for a loop? And I was not the only one who had to wait a long period of time… the people who had ordered before me waited just as long and were equally peeved. From my position at one of the tables, I could see the staff struggling with getting the right consistency of the whip and trashing two unsuccessful batches. When I did receive it (20 mins later), it was a soupy mess and no one apologized for the wait time nor the pitiful presentation. There really was nothing ‘whipped’ about it. I was a little perturbed because after waiting 20 mins and paying close to 5 bucks for it, I at least expected the product to be solid.
I would have given them two stars were it not for the good experience I had the first time I went there. Unfortunately, their inconsistency is probably turning some customers away if what happened to me during my second visit happens to them during their first visit to the Juice Merchant.
Right now, it seems as if the Juice Merchant’s biggest problem is training their staff to produce a consistently good product. Once they get that under control, I feel like this place could be an awesome treat (I won’t say staple because of the price). I might just wait a few months until I try it again… Until then, I am making my own banana whips using a food processor and some frozen bananas (35 cents/​banana) and vanilla almond milk. Average price per serving– maybe a little over a dollar? And my homemade creations actually come out whipped and in under 4 minutes.

What a way to start the day! We had the Beet It and the Tropi-​Kale juices! Fabulous! So glad The Juice Merchant opened in Manayunk! Wish they had wifi tho. Can’t wait for the full menu to be available! Very pleasant staff as well.

Came here to get a smoothie for lunch on Tuesday. The place looked great. I haven’t been here since it was a burrito place and I love what they did with it. However, there were 5 people behind the counter to serve the 4 people in line. It was crazy how long we had to wait to each get a smoothie. They have no process and everyone was running around like chickens with no heads. I waited for almost 15 minutes for a smoothie and I was first in line. This place has a lot of potential. The smoothie tasted delicious, and I will be back to hopefully give them a higher rating next time.

I absolutely LOVE that Manayunk has a juice place now!!! And couldn’t be happier with this one! The people seem so friendly and I loved my Tropi-​Kale juice they made. They easily substituted apple for the celery in my juice and were so pleasant to talk to. I’m so pumped to try their Acai bowls and salads too! Only thing is it’s SUPER pricey! But all those fresh veggies are expensive, so it makes sense. So glad we have a fresh juice place. I loved the atmosphere too and could see myself spending a whole Saturday there doing work and drinking juice. You should check this place out!

Awesome new spot in Manayunk. Looks like no other building or shop anywhere nearby and is something to experience inside and out. Almost doesn’t feel like you’re in the same town, and is high end. Had the Wheatgrass shot, Superfood Whip with Acai berry, blueberry, banana, granola, almond mix & more and was awesome & refreshing.
Topped with Boxed Water, it’s a great place to visit on Main Street for pure healthy great stuff and treats.
