Another juice bar chain and I'm ashamed to admit that I really like it. The most embarrassing is in the summer, when I shell out $8 for a bottle of watermelon juice. I find the juices over-priced but I dig the smoothies. They are refreshing and actually very filling – usually my boyfriend and I share one, or else we go into a serious smoothie coma.
My favorite ones are: "green" monster, hangover cure, and mean green.
The moment I saw $8 for watermelon juice, I felt like liquiteria was a gigantic rip off.
You can literally get a watermelon for $8, and I'd much rather do that than pay for a puny bottle of water that taste like watermelon.
If you're looking for juice, there are plenty juice trucks around that so business at a much reasonable rate.
Across from Google New York this smoothie bar has cold A/C and friendly staff that chat you up while waiting a bit for your smoothie.
Peanut butter Acaia granola, mmmm good
I ordered the coffee and cocao because it includes some of my very favorite things – but for some reason – all together it was just "meh." Not bad, but not particularly good – which is a bummer for the price tag. That said, I might go back to try another flavor before making a final call on this spot.
There's nothing fancy or anything extra fantastic about Liquiteria. The decor is pretty bland with it's partially light wooden fixtures. What's great is when you walk in, it smells freshingly like it's making a fruit or vegetable mixture. It serves as one of the things I love and what I was there for a brew of juices. Yes, the juices are good and refreshing. Liquiteria also has baked goods, nutritional bars, cups of salad/yogurt, bowls of salad, shots, coffee/tea, and what's great is it provided a day to day plan for your juicing needs. It has variety and each one of those varieties from fruit to vegetables and baked goods appear to be uniquely created.
The staff seem friendly and attentive to questions. I was helped moments upon entering, no wait. And while I was in there I heard a light beat of music to lightly groove to for a bit.
The price tag is a bit higher but not much so due to location, size and the product one gets.
Smoothies and fresh pressed juices are trending so it's no wonder places like Liquiteria, Juice Generation and the Juice shop are popping up everywhere. I have been to Juice Generation and wasn't impressed so I was hesitant to try any other smoothie place. However, my friend raved about Liquiteria, so I thought I would give it a shot. They have a bunch of smoothies on their menu but you can take out ingredients and add different ones if you like. Since I don't like bananas or blueberries in my smoothies-I got the berry powerful without bananas/blueberries. It was delish. My boyfriend wanted to try it, so I came back the next day and ordered the same thing. He ordered the bulldozer.
Not sure how to feel about this place. Service was fair, product was good. I ordered a berry smoothie and they were able to substitute the strawberries with extra raspberries and blueberries 🙂 The only problem was, I guess they forgot about my order and I waited over 10 minutes for it. The server was apologetic though. There were four people working behind the counter and it was super chaotic. The counters needed to be wiped down- there was water everywhere and the sink was full (well they do use a new blender per customer, I guess). This place is not nut-allergy friendly. The product itself, the smoothie, was quite reasonable. It was $7.60 but it's super filling and it's comparable price-wise to other juice places around the city. They freeze the fruit for the smoothie instead of adding ice, which is good because they're not watering it down.
What I also liked about the place was that it had two juices out on the counter that you could sample. Strategically, it's a good idea because I know I'm not daring enough to shell out $8 for a bottle of juice that I might not even like. I'd come back here, but only if it were for a special treat. It's healthier than a sugary, fattening coffee "drink" but I just can't see myself spending this much money on a smoothie all the time.
Was in the mood for a shake even though I was sick and came here. I browsed the menu which included wheat grass shots, protein shakes and chia/fruit bowls. I decided on the hangover cure smoothie bc it claimed to include something to help detox your liver kidney and lymph nodes. It also has papaya, peaches, bananas, apple cider, coconut, vit c, and honey. It was tasty and I received friendly service, can't ask for better than that.
