Pressed Juicery

So many options and much less expensive than a lot of other juice places!

Came here on a busy Friday afternoon and of course it was super packed and busy at the Ferry Building! I’ve been dying to try this place out since I see my friends posting pictures of these juice! One thing I like about this place is that you can ask for samples and they’re going to let you try it!!! I tried their signature blends «vanilla almond» and I fell in love… just after one sip. Overall the staffs are really nice and I would love to come back and try their greens!

Pressed sells some of the cheapest cold pressed juice in the city and this particular location has good customer service. However, they stopped selling their seasonal blend with jalapeño so I won’t be returning until it is back!

What I really wanted was a juice blend with some green tea caffeine it it, but that was not an option.
I needed a healthy palate cleanser and didn’t want to puzzle over their elaborate menu so just asked the friendly staff for the most popular juice blend. Grab and go. Service was excellent.
It WAS delicious and felt super healthy.

Got the roots #3 and it was soooo good. Usally beets are overpowering in juice, but the balance of swwet and spicy was perfect. The ginger and lemon really rounded out the flavor well.

The guy running this stand is super snotty.
The whole juice thing is new to me. The stand inside the Ferry building is always packed with people, so I waited for a day when they were slow. I was the only customer.
Of course I wanted the cleanse to be explained to me. I knew I was a beginner & that’s it.
The guy seemed annoyed that I didn’t want to buy & run. He barely answered my questions. He told me to choose the juices, But I needed some guidance, didn’t get any.
Working at a luxury retail company I wanted some information about the juices.
Have no idea if these juices are low cal, what I wanted, or anything. Too bad, I enjoyed them.

**WARNING — TMI REVIEW**
For weeks on ends, sometimes I forget to eat greens and vegetables. When that happens, my #2’s doesn’t come swooping out as cleanly as I’d like it to be. It kinda flops over and hangs on tight until I can squeeze it out completely. When I say squeeze, I mean butt clinching and Vikings grunting kinda squeeze! That’s when I know I need some greens in my system. To the rescue… Pressed Juicery Green bottle #3. They told me it’s like drinking 5lbs of greens in a bottle. Now, who has time to eat 5lbs of greens, it’ll take forever! With Pressed Juicery, you can simple down it within a few minutes. There! Done deal! Greens IN! And OUT it comes… nice and smooth with no hard work.
I haven’t done a cleanse with them yet but I don’t see why I wouldn’t. They have better pricing than other places I’ve been to but these are non-​organic products, hence the price difference.
Couple of notes on their juices;
1) Greens #3 is slightly sweet with some ginger. This is my all time fav since ginger is so soothing.
2) Grapefruit juice — delicious and refreshing
3) Beet juice — Yuck! Tastes and smells like toes. I just couldn’t get this one down. What a waste.
4) Almond milk — smooth with some grittiness. This one did not like my stomach, it gave me the same effects as having too much alcohol under the blazing hot sun. I had to make myself throw-​up to feel better. It’s not you, Almond Milk, it’s me, we can never be together… ever.
Customer service is wonderful here. They let you try anything and everything in their fridge. If you buy 5 bottles, they give you a discount. They also have a frequent buyer program that gives you a free bottle after xx bottles bought. Lastly, they open early, so, I can pick up bottles here before heading off to work.
Pressed juice rocks! I’m a forever fan.

I’m usually very against this new expensive fresh juice fad because, honestly my mom makes fresh juices at home and they’re free! Haha, BUT wow, was I blown away by the freshness, kindness, and deliciousness of Pressed Juicery.
I’ve only been once and got the citrus 2. LOVED it! Definitely recommend it if you like more sour tastes.
The staff here is so friendly and they let you try whichever juices you want before you make your purchase. ALSO, you get a free juice during your birthday month — lucky for me, I bought my first drink during my birthday month so it was free :)
I will be back to purchase more, but I hope I don’t get too addicted to this expensive fad!

This is the first location where I tried the pressed juice. If you are looking for a refreshing drink or cleanse, this is the place to go. What I like about this place is that they let you try out all the drinks before you buy so that way you can cater your cleanse to your preference. The staff is pretty helpful and the juices are delicious!
Citrus 2, Greens 1 & 2
Their coconut water is delish! Great for beginners who want to try a cleanse.

Decided to give it another shot and came here during a promotion.
10% off 3bottles or 15% off 4bottles til end of January.
I love Roots 2! Although it may have the most sugar out of the greens and roots series. Greens 3 is a nice refresher and healthier option too.
You should definitely go ahead and try samples until you find the one you like.

As healthy as you can imagine, yet don’t put too much expectation on the flavor. The flavor itself was quite self-​explanatory. Got the citrus 1, which was made of cucumber and fruits yet tasted just like cucumber. That being said, there was no preservation bacteria being added.

I’ve had the cool privilege of being able to go to SF a few times a month for some volunteer work. One of the perks is that I’m able to explore the FIDI on foot and go to places I may have never been able to enjoy had I not taken this opportunity. I was checking out the ferry building and hoping that Humphrey Slocombe would be open at 10am. It wasn’t, so we continued our stroll. The light poured in through the glass doors as we stopped by the pressed juice stand. And my eyes were so happy to see free samples!
The two really friendly girls told us all about pressed juice. I was really impressed. (Basically it’s JUST the fruit or vegetables without anything else added/​they use 6lbs of fruit per 16oz bottle) I went in for a sample of the apple. It’s the weirdest sensation. All the taste of an actual bite of apple… But you’re drinking it! To be really honest, I wasn’t too hip to the flavors of all the mixed kinds of juice. It’s also a little pricey. But I definitely see the health benefits of it all. So I really wouldn’t feel really guilty about buying a juice every once in a while because it’s literally just the good stuff.
I got a watermelon juice that tasted like a whole watermelon (rind and all) in a bottle. It was a freaky flavor trip. (In a good way)

After a long walk to and back from Coit Tower a friend suggested fresh juice instead of brunch and I jumped with joy as I have been reading a lot about juice cleanses recently. I thought, hey! try a breakfast cleanse first and then go for the whole day.
The customer service was great! The ladies at the counter were enthusiastic in suggesting options and we tried quite a few before we made our purchase. There are sweet options and savory ones too! I opted for a Citrus 2 with pineapple, lemon, apple and mint and it was WOW!!! My friend had a Greens 3 and it was yummy too. But next on my agenda is coconut water which was SO refreshing! The cost is comfortable on your wallet, around $ 6.50 (if you compare it to a brunch I was to have otherwise, I would have ended up paying $ 15 – 20)
Earlier I used to do some form of activity and head home, but this place will surely have me making a detour :) Also it in inside the ferry building so choose your transport accordingly. Or even better, walk!

I had an opportunity to try the cold brewed coffee here, and hot diggety did I think I was in for a treat. The coffee was insanely strong and I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t any sugar or crème nearby to ease the strength off my pallette. Yeesh. The other items may seem to be a better idea. I won’t be getting this cold brewed coffee again, and will opt out for a different drink next time.
Located in the Ferry Building, I expect this place to thrive despite all the options. While parking around here is impossible, you can find some in a lot slightly south east and across the street. Remember to read the signs, as they tow on the dot. I hope others get to reflect on the other drinks, as staff are helpful to provide samples before you buy. I’ll be sure to ask for that next time as well.

Pressed juicery is a chain of juice stores created in Southern California by a couple of friends who wanted a healthier alternative to what was available. It’s an alternative to a clean and healthy lifestyle which is predicated on juicing in order to get the vitamins and nutrients that will last you throughout the day. This is done in order for you to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle without the pressure of dieting.
They have all kinds of juices that will allow you to figure out which ones are best for you. They have combined greens, citruses and roots juices that are combined with fruits as the basis for all their popular juices. They even have a cleansing programs, although kinda pricey, it allows you to detox and clean out you’re system, all while shedding pounds. Some of their popular juices are: the green 3, the citrus 2, the strawberry apple lime (which is my personal favorite and the strawberry Apple coconuts.
I have found that some of their coconut flavors, such as there coconut with the dates flavored juice, tends to be a little gritty and has chunks of coconut in it. Something that I’m not really a fan of because I don’t like chewing on chunks while I’m drinking. But the staff there are very friendly and will give you free samples of any juice you would like to try. Which is refreshing and definitely allows you to figure out what you like before you commit to it. They also will give you a brochure on information about each juice and the nutritional content of them as well. Which comes in handy.
Because the juices are so fresh (but not organic) the shelf life for them is not very long. They only have a few days in fact (between 5 – 6 to be exact) so if you don’t drink them within that timeframe the Juices tend to go bad. I find it a bit unfortunate because they are somewhat pricey at about $ 6.50 a bottle. But there still worth it non-​the-​less because of all the benefits they offer.

Detox juice booth in the Ferry Building!
I like how they have a detox plan that you can follow, if you are stumped on what to order up or pondering on what to get!
Their juices are not organic, but nonetheless, still delicious to drink!
They have Greens, Citruses, Roots and Fruits as juice drinks!
It’s a healthy and nutritious juicery spot!

carrot apple ginger is one of the popular ones and for good reason, definitely tasty with the subtle ginger bite at the end of every sip. It felt like i was undoing all the burgers and hotdog binges in my lifetime.
Only qualm is the price. 6.50 is steep but you’re paying for quality and the fact that you’re in SF embarcadero.

Great tasting cold pressed juices. I discovered this store the last time I was in SF and made a beeline there today to pick up supplies. I’ve now tried a variety and particularly like Greens 2, with a hint of spicy ginger. The almond milks are filling and make for a great meal replacement or substantial snack if you share.
So why only two stars? The service on my visit today was appalling. Staff were talking amongst themselves when we turned up and the girl who must have drawn the short straw to serve us seemed like she didn’t give a toss that we were there willing to spend. I actually had to repeat myself on two occasions when asking a question as she seemed completely somewhere else. Not at all the attentive service I would expect from somewhere selling «premium» products with a premium price to match!

I felt like I was at a juice bar, the guy behind the counter kept handing me samples, and asking me if I wanted more samples.
Is it possible to have too many samples? Never, I thought.
Unlike the one on Now Valley, this place has great customer service and could answer my questions when it came to shelf life, what was the most popular, and the afternotes of different juices.
I ended up buying several juices.
My co-​worker had a less than stellar experience. (It’s like Noe Valley all over again I thought!) She had asked for some samples, and she was told to share with me.
«Um-​no,» I both thought and said. I don’t want my co-worker’s cooties. «We are not sharing a sample from the same cup,» I told the lady that was helping, or not helping rather, my co-​worker.
Gross. So, my co-​worker didn’t buy anything.
So 4 stars for the person who helped me, and 2 stars for my poor co-​worker.
Average 3 star rating.

Update ½/​14: Atleast someone at corporate is paying attn! Reached out to me & apologized for the poor customer service & send me 2 free juice cards to try it out again. Although they can’t go back & change the level of service I received, this is the next best thing so thank you Pressed Juicery! I hope to be able to write a stellar review for the new Pasadena location when it opens soon.
Mediocre juices + miserable staff = 2 stars… max
It’s easy to overlook this place in the hustle & bustle that is the Ferry building. Pressed juicery is located at the very end of the building across from Sur La Table next to a donut stand.
I walked up and 2 employees were helping 1 woman waiting. She wasn’t ordering a ton or anything, in fact, I think she ordered 1 juice so I’m not sure why 2 people needed to help her. Due to this, the employees didn’t even acknowledge me & my friend for several minutes. Normally I would just walk away but my friend really loves fresh juice, can’t find it where she lives and wanted to take some home.
Clearly seeing that we were mulling over the menu, asking various questions like «do you have a juice with «blah blah blah», they neglected to mention that they have samples. Normally if someone is asking how something tastes, what’s in it, etc and you have fucking samples sitting there, you would offer to let them try it! Nope, nada.
I was clearly turned off but again, I knew my friend wanted juice so we decided to stop by on our way out since we had just got there. Thankfully when we circled back around, a different employee was working. He was slightly more friendly. He didn’t offer me a sample but when I asked, he obliged to my request.
The problem with this guy was that he seemed annoyed that I asked to try a few juices (probably about 3 maybe 4). Since I could visibly see he was annoyed by my request, I shared my samples with my friend so that she didn’t have to feel uncomfortable asking.
I get it that you don’t want to give a billion samples to someone who’s not going to buy but we were definitely buying and buying multiple. I think we walked away about 5 – 7 juices total (I only got 2).
Long story short, the customer service here is nonexistent and the juice is mediocre. What I did like was the spiced almond milk. THAT I would recommend but in terms of juice, I’ve definitely had better and more fresher tasting. Maybe SF is lacking juice places but there are plenty in LA and much better ones at that.
