I love going to Juice Generation when I want a healthy snack/meal replacement smoothie. I've been to multiple locations in the city and they've all been fairly consistent. Stopped by this location in Union Square for a Fighter Cider because I wanted something hot to drink that wasn't coffee or tea. I was starting to feel a cold coming on too, and this totally took care of it!
Comparing to Juice Press, I think Juice Press is more about the detox regimen, whereas Juice Generation offers wider options for people who aren't looking to be in the middle of a detox but just want something healthy on the go. I love that Juice Generation has hot drinks as well as cold drinks, and their acai bowls are delicious! Wish there were more locations in the city. Prices are much more reasonable/affordable than at Juice Press.
Service is fine. The woman taking orders was cheerful and courteous. I came here after working out and am glad there is a Juice Generation in Flatiron so there us a healthy option for refueling.
When I'm thirsty, I like to have a fruit smoothie. And when I go to a neighborhood, I take note of the smoothie places nearby. I've got the Smooth Strawberry smoothie (apple juice, banana, forzen-coconut milk ice, strawberries). The strawberry smoothie was what I needed to quench my thirst, and I like it's pink color. This place has outdoor seats, not such an interesting view on the street, but it has more seats than other locations.
These smoothies are like a meal. After one, I can't eat for a couple of hours.
Yay! I'm glad this location finally has a Yelp so I can give it the love it deserves 🙂
I started going to this Juice Generation when I moved to Union Square… it seems like we both entered the area around the same time. I usually frequent Juice Gen after my Soul Cycle classes, which are just down the street from here.
Since I usually go around 8:30 pm, there isn't any line and the store is quiet and refreshing. Because I've been going to Juice Generation for over a year now, I already have my go-to orders: almond butter acai bowl, I love watermelon smoothie, PB bliss smoothie… Most of their products range from $8-$10, which is typical for a New York juice bar.
The juice here is some of the freshest I've ever had- the fruit is never frozen and they don't use anything from concentrate, which is important to me. Another fun fact about this location: I once walked in and saw Salma Hayek behind the counter making smoothies. It was bizarre, but pretty cool! Also, this location has some outdoor seating in the front if you want to relax with your Kale Kolada.
Overall, this is just another Juice Generation, but in a good way since Juice Gen is an incredible brand. I recommend trying their Acai Bowl for breakfast and grabbing one of their smoothies after a workout.
Juice is very refreshing on a hot day. Fun watching them cut the fruit and juice it right in front of you.
However it's a long wait even with not that many people in front of you. And at 8 dollars a juice (citrus juice) I expected more juice.
Good little patio to sit on and well shaded in the afternoon.
There is a lot of healthy veggie juices with kale etc. all the blenders are blendtec

Truly disappointed
My fav – green guardian- is tasteless at this spot.
WHY? RUINED? IT?
I have visited at least 3 locations of Juice Generation
This is the worst…
UGH
