Natural Fruit Factory

closed

I decided to try this place out recently because I drive by it often, but have never actually stopped by. I had read a lot of good reviews on Unilocal,so I decided to finally try it. My experience there wasn’t so great. I went in and there where at least 2 people sitting down waiting for their orders. When I approached the register, the man who was making the juices did not make any attempt to greet me or take my order. I was waiting standing around and after a few minutes still no greeting. At some point one of the customers who was sitting around gets up to approach the resister and he acknowledges her, still not directing his attention towards me, until the customer tells him that he has someone (implying me) waiting for him. At that point he asked me what I would like. At this point I was very annoyed because of the lack of good customer service. It’s a small place so you would think he would be more attentive towards his few customers. So I place my order and I’m about to pay and I have this coupon for $ 1.50 off a medium or large smoothie and apparently it cannot be redeemed because I ordered a juice. Geez! Talk about being a first time unwelcomed customer. The least he could’ve done to compensate for the lack of good customer service was to redeem the coupon. I will say, however, that the Super Green Booster juice was actually very good. Based on the bad customer service, I will not be coming back. It’s unfortunate too because it’s soo close to where I live.

Great small business for reasonable prices!!! Smoothies and panini sandwiches are the best!

Okay these smoothies aren’t made with fruit I don’t know what everyone is talking about or what kind of shit the owner is saying but I got a smoothie and he put THREE strawberries and what looked like sugar water. Disgusting can’t believe I wasted my damn money here.

Came here by here for he first time the day of the Mayweather fight. Owner or the worker had horrible customer service. He couldn’t prepare a fruit platter because it was to late. Who turns down easy money this guy… wouldn’t ever step foot in this place again.

Their smoothies here are good, the server was nice but I have yet to try their subs. Wish the had more sub and salad choices, but overall pretty good!

Just happened to see the sign on the way to a soccer game. Really nice gentleman working the counter. Got s smoothie, juice and shake. All were delicious and lots of fresh fruit! So great to have a healthy option for a hot afternoon!

I’ve been to this place a few times and the guy working there was telling me about how they add no sugar to their smoothies and are better than Jamba Juice. (Little did he know I worked at jamb juice a couple years ago and the only sugar is from the concentrated juice and fruit)… After a few times of going there I decided to watch how they make the smoothies and the guy making it grabbed a bucket in the corner and scooped two big scoops of something and put it in the smoothie and as I looked closer the bucket said SUGAR on it! Really? Are you trying give your customers diabetes? Cmon dude that’s ridiculous way to lie to your customers. I’ve never gone there since then! Lost my business for sure!

The owner is a decent guy… but the last couple times I went there he was short on supplies. Seemed almost like he was a little preoccupied… and annoyed. Last time I left without buying anything. I’ll still rate this place 3 stars… because the drinks are good. Hope the owner is doing well… i’ll give this place another try soon.

I love The pannini sándwich, place is Clean and Paul is always nice. hight recommend:)

I’ve tried a chicken salad and a tuna salad, both are delicious. The salad is freshly made, HUGE, and perfect ingredients — spinach, romaine lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese. I didn’t even need dressing on it. I’ve tried the Flu-​Fighter and Energizer juice. I like the fruity juices and these were perfect. Nothing extra added so I know I’m eating healthy here. Salads are around $ 6 and small juice 3.75. I recommend using cash.

I love smoothies here, bionicos are good here too. Smoothies made with REAL fruit! None of that fake junk! Prices are reasonable.

I started coming to this place this year when my boyfriend introduced me to it. We typically order a smoothie or purchase the fruit cocktail (I.e.pico de gallo). The owner is really nice and will occasionally give you a sample while you wait. I recommend the «melon madness“as far as smoothies go. He also makes great raspadas, with perfectly shaved Ice and syrup that is not too sweet.

This place is great! Smoothies are good! Better than Jamba Juice and the Bionicos are delicious! The owner is super cool and makes you feel welcomed. This is our new spot!

Bionico and smoothie were bothe very tasty. Would definitely go back if in the area.

Great smoothies. Waay better than Jamba juice! I got the Brazilian/​acai smoothie and my husband got the piña colada one. Definitely will be back :)

This place is super cute and hidden! You definitely must try the smoothies err… They are full of flavor and made with fresh fruits. I have yet to try the food but i will soon make a brick trip :)!!! The owner is a total sweet heart … This place beats jambs juice and juice it up by far!

This is an awesome find! All sorts of great stuff on the menu. I had a turkey sandwich and a bionico they were both SOOO good. The sandwich was toasted which i love and the bionico was sooo good and soo much i could only eat half and saved the rest. Great bang for your buck. I am def going to become a regular here.

The fact that this place is in a ‘shopping center’ all by itself, that was burdened by street construction for months speaks, and is STILL open speaks to it’s value.
It’s a small spot that you probably won’t see unless you’re looking for it. Inside, you’ll often find the owner making drinks and sandwiches behind the counter — awesome! The customer service is amazing and you get a feeling that they really appreciate their customers.
The smoothies are made fresh — read: not until you order it will they chop the fruit — so no pre-​packaged mixes here! Sure, it may take a minute or two longer, but it’s well worth the wait. Smoothies come in two sizes: medium and large. Or, as I call them, Large and MASSIVE (no really, the large is a whole-​lotta-​smooothie). Also, the raspados here are good! As they say, they’re made «East Los style» (you know what that means… and if you don’t, find out!)
I try to come as often as when I’m craving a smoothie. I’ve been meaning to try their sandwiches/​paninis too because they look phenomenal when someone orders one.
Support this mom-​and-​pop establishment — you won’t be disappointed.

Hidden little gem in Pico Rivera that is awesome when you want something healthy.
Fruit Factotry is a little hole in the wall place which you have probally driven by and didnt even know it was there. They use fresh fruit in their smoothies and you can really taste it when your drinking it. I have tried a few different smoothies from here and Maui WoWee seems to be my favorite right now. All the smoothies have been great so far and ive heard the fruit juices are good too. They have other drinks too like Milkshakes, Malts, and coffee.
I tried a Grilled Panini Chicken sandwich today which to my surprise was really good. Really fresh and the right amount of everything, Chicken, red onion, tomato, peppers, spinach, mozzarella, and some sun dried tomatoes. Nothing was over powering and the chicken pieces were moist and flavorful. The grilled bread gave it a little crunch that I really like in my sandwiches.
One thing about Natural Fruit Factory everything is made to order so it takes a little while to get your food and drink. After your frist visit i would suggest grabbing a menu so you can call your order in if you dont want to wait around for everything to be made.
