Green Crush

Watermelon picante crush is amazing. Also the cucumber lime is refreshing. A perfect summer drink.

I found a new must-​have when I visit the galleria. or even Americana. I’ve tried a watermelon picante crush and mango picante crush. This is the funkiest looking drink I’ve ever had from a mall stand. The drink comes in a large size only with sliced mango dipped in some spicy tamarind. It looks like a bloody mary you’d get at Sesame Street. AWESOME.
It’s a cool, refreshing drink with a spicy kick. I sampled the other available juices there and they all taste great. But I’m afraid if I choose anything other than my whatever-​picante crush. I’ll still get one to complete the experience. Like leaving a catholic church without blessing yourself with holy water. You need to go back at get that water. so you feel better with your sinful thoughts when that mango picante crush is in hand.

Delicious and refreshing. Customer services is on point and cashier always with a friendly smile. A must stop in summer !

In this heat… Green Crush is where I’d wanna be. So I have never heard of this place before, but I happened to be thirsty and shopping at the Glendale Galleria, and their shit looked GOOD! And then I read reviews and decided that I had to try it.
I wanted to get a ton of samples before ordering but there was a long ass line so I only tried guava and strawberry milk. DUDE. I ended up ordering the strawberry milk but both the flavors were aMAAAAZING. My friend got a strawberry banana guava combo (you can create your own flavors) and it was good also. SO good. The drinks here… seriously the thing to get on a hot day.
It’s also pretty cheap… I don’t remember how much but I remember thinking the price was great for such a big thing of liquid loveeee.

Food/​Drinks:
I absolutely love the option of fresh fruit and/​or a fresh veggie smoothie in an area that’s filled with junk food. Green Crush has the best variety of customized fruit bowls, smoothies, blended drinks, fancy cold juices, etc. I work nearby and make sure to pick up a giant fruit bowl on my breaks for that added energy boost throughout the day.
Customer Service:
For the most part, each employee is friendly and wears a huge smile. They’re all pretty young so they add a bit of extra energy to the vibe of the place.
Unfortunately, I didn’t feel comfortable giving a 5-​star rating due to their lack of time management. I see upwards of 16 people staffed on a single shift, however, I feel frustrated waiting a while when a chunk of them are not helping/​keeping busy. I’ve observed that ~2−4 of them are on ready-​made iced juices/​samples, only 1 person in charge of making smoothies AND fruit bowls, 1 – 2 cashiers, some chopping things up in the back, and the rest are either standing/​walking around. I find myself waiting anywhere between 10−20min for one green smoothie because only one lonesome person has to knock out several smoothie and fruit orders while others joke and chat. If I was that lonesome employee I would throw a fit and demand help from my co-​workers. No one should have to work alone when there’s perfectly good help standing right next to you.
Also, when I order a customized fruit bowl, sometimes I get a friendly employee who fills my bowl to the top and sometimes I get an employee who adds very few pieces leaving me feeling jipped. Those are the same employees who are a little less patient with you and your «demands.» This isn’t a one-​time thing, by the way. I order these bowls often and encounter this problem 40% of the time.
* Overall review is that I love having this place nearby because there’s nothing better than a big serving of fruit and/​or veggies in the middle of your day. Great prices and great variety to choose from. Glad this place exists, especially on the hot summer days to come.
All management needs to do is work their employees a little more or send the extra bodies home. No need to pay for an employee who isn’t being productive for the business. *

You can get samples here.
I got samples of strawberry milk, guava, and kiwi.
All of them were delicious.
I got a full size blend of guava, kiwi, and cucumber/​mint.
Make sure to get a blend. It will make the drink taste out of this world.

2 locations that I know of: Pacific View Mall in Ventura, CA & Glendale Galleria.
This place needs to be outside of the mall instead of inside! It’s so refreshing to take outdoors instead of walking around with it while shopping. It’s getting hot nowadays so this would be the perfect type of crush/​juice to sip on the go.
Ordered: Picante Crush — had the option between watermelon, mango, or pineapple so I asked the girl which one was their most popular. She said the mango! I was leaning between mango & watermelon, but I went with mango. I wanted the fruit design on my cup anyways. Unfortunately, they only had the 32oz option for that one. I wish it was smaller cause it filled me up!
Location: It’s right next to JCPenny, 2^nd floor. You can’t miss this place cause the line tends to be long at certain times especially for their samples.
Try their samples, read their menu, or simply build your own juice, crush, drink, fruit bowl! My inner Mexi-​pina was craving for that chamoy & this was perfect!

This was my second time here. The first time I was very impressed with their friendly customer service, great juice and prices are reasonable! I’m a regular raw juice person — still prefer Whole Foods.
My experience today… Waiting right in front of the cashier — watching her make my juice. She adds: kale, spinach, carrot… More carrots and that’s it. I ordered the energy #2 which had beets. My drink did not. I seen right off the bat that when she seen my order on her display, she sighs. Maybe she was having a bad day. So I did not have the energy hassle her, on fixing it and make her day worst. But definitely will not go there again. I rather pay the extra $ 5 dollars and continue with Whole Foods.

Thanks to their awesome «hey come over here and sample everything!» welcome service, I got hooked on my first visit. The juices are lined up in clear labeled jugs, and the servers scoop out the juice with a ladle. You get in line and tell them what you want to try, and they provide it to you in small sample cups.
The flavors I remember are horchata, watermelon, guava, banana, strawberry milk, and pineapple.
I’ve bought the strawberry milk, horchata, and, more recently, the spicy watermelon which they add the spice tajin to and decorate it with a fanned out mango dipped in chamoy. Everything was fresh and delicious, the fruit bits in the drinks a nice touch.
It’s located upstairs near JC Penney and the elevator. The only annoying thing is if you get the spicy watermelon with the mango slices dripping with chamoy, there are no tables or adequate seating for you to enjoy that without walking away making a big mess. If you get a simple juice, however, it’s an easy grab and go situation.

wish there was more Green crush around town! This is the closest location for anyone that lives in los angeles, if there was down my street i would go everyday
Everything is sweet, refreshing and FRESH real fruit and it’s healthy!
favorite flavors are definitely cantoloupe, mixed fruit and kiwi!
It’s $ 5 for a HUGE cup! so come and try it out, you won’t regret it

Ok, so my friends hyped this place up so much I resisted it on principle. However after finally being dragged there and treated to a cup of their cantaloupe version I begrudgingly surrendered.
Refreshing, satisfying, didn’t want to love it but I did. 5 stars!

MMmmm. I finally tried this place last week and I am a fan! I always see a crowd here just have never gotten around to trying it. The lines are worth the wait! They sell crush juice (agua refresca), smoothies, fruit bowls, and green juices. They also sell picante crush, which is the crush juice with fresh fruit and chamoy and spices. I had the agua frescas, which in essence is flavored water, but trust me, this is better than any «flavored water» you can get anywhere else. It actually has fruit pieces and comes in all different flavors. You can try the flavors before you commit to one, or two, or three… you can mix the flavor. I got mine mixed with pineapple and kiwi and it was so good I finished it before I even knew. There are different sizes for the juices, and for $ 4, you can get a huge 32 ounce drink. I personally think it’s a pretty good deal! I’ve been craving more since. I think from now on, whenever I go to the Galleria, I will have to get a drink from here!
I have yet to try all the flavors, but so far I tried the kiwi, pineapple, passion fruit, and mixed fruit. I believe some flavors rotate because I tried passion fruit once and the next time I went, it wasn’t there. The picante crush is $ 6 for a 32 ounce as well. You can chose your fruit and you choices are mango, watermelon, and pineapple, but mango is the most popular. I didn’t drink it because it’s spicy, but my boyfriend really liked it and said it had quite a kick to it. The fruit bowls, you can choose what you want, same with the smoothies. Even though the menu lists certain combinations, you can customize the drinks how you like it.
Green Crush is located on the second floor of the Glendale Galleria near Target. I think I’ve found my new juice place! This place is definitely worth a try! Everything here is so fresh, delicious, and healthy tasting! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Unilocal 100 review challenge ¹¹⁄₁₀₀
Lyrics: «It’s just a little crush… Not like I faint every time we touch.»
My taste buds have a huge crush on Green Crush. The juices are quite heavenly! And the Horchata is out of this world good! Hehe *giggling* Milky cinnamon goodness is iced and sprinkled with extra cinnamon if you wish. $ 4 for a large. I sipped it so fast sadly, had no time for a photo.
The fruit juice has real pieces of fruit. I tasted the guava overpowering all other fruits. But, strong and tasty.
The strawberry lemonade had chunks of real strawberries and lemon. Mmm so delicious, sweet, and sour. Hitting the spot and satisfying on a hot hot day.
You can sample as many drinks as you like! Pay in line. And walk back to the pouring station to retrieve your drink.
There’s also lemon water, free of charge of course. For anyone who wants to wash down the various sampled flavors. And only drown in a favorite flavor.
This juice shop sits beside JcPenny. On the second floor. It’s a must try while visiting Glendale Galleria Mall.

Love me some agua frescas! Green Crush has multiple locations. This location is located at Glendale Galleria. When you pass by, you’ll be assured a mad crowd of people asking for agua fresca samples. Green crush serves up juices, concoctions of agua frescas, smoothies, green juices and fruit bowls.
I tried the Picante Crush with a combo of pineapple, orange, spicy juice and flower sliced mangoes dipped in chamoy. Talk about a drink full of flavors. The spiciness is probably great for a cold. Flower sliced mango is not fully ripped fruit, it’s a bit on the green side. Great contrast with the sweetness of the drink. What would even be better is some tequila mixed in! Just a suggestion!
Definitely worth a try.

I love this place!!!
Refreshing, delicious and yummy drinks!
They have a lot of choices of drinks and you can mix them with other flavors too.
I love the spicy mango mix with watermelon!
I’m salivating now.
Also, awesome customer service!
The workers here are nice and they are very awesome! They will give you free taste of everything :)

Green Crush is a win win type of place.
You have the delicious drinks on one end and their good looking employees on the other 0_​o
Since GC is at a corner location, there are two sides to this business. The side thats facing the shoe store is where you will find the clear containers of juice to sample. The side thats adjacent to JcPenny is the register (Order side).
If this is your first time (like it was mines) go straight to the container side first! There you will find a line of men employees giving away little samples of any juice you would like to try.
Just point at any one of the flavor containers and they will hand u a sample of it.
Once you picked your favorite. Hop straight over to the register side and put an order with the name of the drink and the size.
After you pay, take your recipe back to the container side. Hand it to one of the guys and and they will fill up and give you your drink.
Sounds like madness. I know!
Nobody mentioned this is any of the reviews!
Sigh. Now you know!
Cant wait to go back and try that spicy mango crush.

Ummm this place is awesome!!! I was deterred because of the consistent long lines, but I finall decided to try it.
I got the watermelon picante crush. Watermelon juice with all the spices, topped with mango. Yummmm. It was so refreshing and not too sweet! Just the right sweetness, spicyness, and sourness! If you’re feeling parched, definitely make a stop here. They have a wide array of juices and you’re welcomed to try so samples before committing to a decision. A nice pit stop after a day of shopping!

Mmmmm is what you’ll be saying when you try this place! The juices are placed on display in a large clear container with the names in the front. You can see the fruit particles and herbs floating in the container!
What I loved most about this is that you can tell how fresh these drinks are! We got the raspberry mojito, guava and strawberry milk and it was so good! Raspberry mojito was fresh and you can taste the mint! The guava has fresh chopped pieces of guava and seeds in it so you have to be careful with that, and strawberry milk tastes like a Mexican strawberry ice cream bar– AMAZINGGGGG!
The store was nice and clean, pretty large but I wish they had a better system for a line or something because people kind of stand all over the place and you don’t know who’s in line or not– maybe like a rope for people to stand behind would work!
All in all, I am definitely come back for this fresh juice, perfect for when you’re walking around the mall. The large drink was pretty big, almost as big as a big gulp for scale!

For those who know me, I will go out of my way for chamango prepped drinks or treats. First time I’ve seen Green Crush was at Cerritos mall. The only way to describe green crush is a glorified fruit cart stand with refreshing juices added to the mix inspected by the Health Department.
If you want to try a flavor from one of the jugs, just ask the kind person behind the jug counter. If you want to order a specialty drink, you must order at the register.
I ordered the picante crush with mango topping and mixed pineapple and mango juice. It was pretty good, but huge! Ask for extra napkins because the chamoy sauce will drip all over you!
Hold on to your receipt because they will ask for it when you pick up your drink!

Oh em… GEEEEEE!!!
I think I have a crush for GREEN CRUSH!
I heard this place was located at the Montebello mall, and I’ve heard such good things about their Picante Mango drink!
I had yet to try Green Crush, since i’m never in the Montebello area, and OMG! I can’t believe they opened up one in my area! I was waiting for about a month for this place to open and it is finally alive!
Today, I ordered the picante mango (Spicy mango, Mangoneada) and holy shiznits! It’s to freaking good!
I believe they put Chamoy and Tajin in it that makes it taste so bomb!
The slices of mango they put on the drink is good too! Not too ripened and not too sour where you’re unable to bite it and not make a squishy sour face! lol
I really can’t eat spicy ANYTHING but this happens to be my favorite spicy drink of all time!
I know i’m talking about this drink more than anything but they do offer other kinds or drinks as well!
They offer smoothies, green juices, HORCHATA, and more! All made from fresh fruits!
I need to come here to try their other drinks! It’s not too bad for a large cup of deliciousness for just $ 3.50-$ 6.00 NO TAX INCLUDED! (:
