Juice It Up!

Love coming to this Juice It Up! The staff is friendly and helpful, and my drink is always delicious and ready in a snap. The vibe and music is upbeat and the place is clean. I come in with my 1 year old son and the workers here always say hi to him and engage us in small talk.
I also like that their customer service is not only personable, but honest. Last time I was in there, I asked about a juice with carrot in it and the girl working the register truthfully said «I’m actually not a big fan of carrot, but my coworker loves it and the customers who’ve ordered that seem to like it.» Was really impressed with that answer as opposed to a lie («It’s really great, you should try it») because really, are employees here expected to love everything on the menu?
The convenience of this location is key — right off the 5 freeway, next to a couple of restaurants, an ice cream place, a Starbucks, a gas station, a grocery store, and plenty of outdoor seating. Great place for a hangout when you and your friends can’t decide what to snack on :)

Great place to find a drink to detoxify your body! Clean, fast and super friendly staffs!!! We will sure come again.

I always go to juice it up for breakfast and I enjoy my healthy meals. This place is great and clean but their services are not up to par. They messed up with my order twice and also didn’t accommodate me for the messed up order. They r not personal with their customers and not very welcoming.

I love juice it up!!! But– the price I pay, I don’t love so much. $ 7 for a glass of orange juice — its a rip off. I still end up going there cuz I simply love the healthy concept of drinks/​beverages! If they can cut down on their prices, they’ll attract more people for sure. Alot of my friends don’t prefer JIP for their expensive price. Everything else — good!

On my way home from the gym since there was no Jamba I saw this place, had this drink called The Zone it had peanut butter and protein just what I needed for a post workout! It was really good, the place was packed. I almost left but there really fast
I highly recommend cause there Customer service was excellent!

I think the management here recently changed and it’s been a great improvement. I love their pressed juices– they’re always strained and the foam is removed from the top.

Juice it up is fairly solid for a franchise. I’ve been going to juice it up since my high school days. Yes, there are quite a few but this particular one is solid. They have a a good staff, the consistency of the drinks they serve are solid and the best part is they allow you to call in your orders. Perfect when you are on your way to work!
The Zone is my go to but I do love their acai bowls as well.

The best juice ever and to top it off they actually reopened the store for us when we were two minutes past closing!!! Please visit!

Nice people and good juice. Price is reasonable for a large drink. Love it and will come again.

Great place to get juice, I may agree with some of the reviews about the workers there may not be the happiest people but guys, grow up, every time some one doesn’t smile in ur face u go and write a bad review, for what, they may get minimum wage and every one have there own issues. I didn’t see any thing bad from the workers there. Maybe as not welcoming but it’s just life they have a good juice and that’s the button line. They deserve 4 stars review, but to have over all 3 stars, I disagree and I have to support them. I have been there more than 15 times and I enjoy there juice.

I’ve been trying different juice places, i came here because it was somewhat close to my house and there is a picture on Unilocal saying «cold pressed» but its not, the guy there didn’t even know what cold pressed is. So ok, not their fault is a random retarded Unilocaler posted a false picture.
So here are the cons that took away stars.
1. All the precut fruits are sitting in a cart behind the counter oxidizing
2. They don’t strain their juices and you almost have to chew it
3. Their juices are way overpriced compared to other juice bars that make a better juice.
I might just have to make the trek to nektar at UTC when I’m out and cant make my own juice.

I’m sorry but I thought this was a family friendly establishment. The music in the background was «gangster rap» which included many curse words. I was there with my kids and I felt uncomfortable listening to the music.
I also think the employees need a lesson on customer service. I didn’t see one smile while I was waiting.

I don’t know why I keep going back to this place. It’s never a great experience. And this is now the second location I’ve attempted to like.
I guess I keep going back because I really love carrot orange juice. There are some days when it’s the only thing that sounds refreshing. So I keep trying Juice It Up!
Why does this place just not do it for me? How about this experience from a couple of months ago: I head over there around 3 pm on a Saturday and order a carrot orange juice. You’re a juice bar. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? The high schooler working behind the counter proceeds to tell us that they’re out of oranges. We just stare at her. Forget that this seems like it would be absolutely preposterous for a juice bar to RUN OUT OF ORANGES. Forget the fact that they’re located right next to an Albertson’s. How about the fact that there’s about 10 pounds of oranges sitting in a display case right in front of our faces? Seriously. In fact, the only thing physically standing between me and this juice chick is some plexiglass and about 10 pounds of oranges. We point to the pile of oranges directly in front of us and she says, «Well, I guess I can use those.»
Am I being too picky to be annoyed by that? Yeah probably.
How about this last one? I order a carrot orange juice the other day and as I’m sipping, I keep getting random floaters through the straw. At first I think that it’s just pulp from the orange, but upon further examination I realize that it’s green. Spinach? Parsley? I don’t know. But there is nothing green in the recipe for carrot. orange. juice.
Time to buy a juicer for the house.

This review is going to be short because each visit has been about the same for me.
This location is walking distance from where I live, so I’ve stopped by sporadically… and my opinion of it has never changed. All the things I’ve tried are watered down, way to sweet, and very overpriced for what you get!
The employees are also never happy. I am usually the one that greets and smiles at them, and when I leave I habitually yell out a «Thank you!» as I walk out the door. I have yet to receive a «Have a nice day!» or «Thank you!» or actually any indication that they heard me (and I know they did because its usually just me in there). Not sure what’s going on internally, but I feel bad for the employees. :/

I like this place, I’ve had mostly pleasant experiences.
This isn’t a high end juice place like Kreation or some other bougie joints in Bev Hills with staff who shit only ruffage, do yoga, in touch with their zen and one with nature. This place is staffed with mostly young hormonal teenagers who’d rather text message than slice stuff up veges/​fruits, but, when everything is said and done they get the job done (eventually).
Now… with that said, this place good enough for what it is, you won’t get an education on grams of protein or the origins of whey grass but they’ll drag that little cart out from the back, pick out the vegetables/​fruits and pop it into the juicer and press down.
I will admit the place could be a tad bit cleaner, I do see straw wrappings laying around and the back counter go be wiped down a bit better from time to time… but, nothing major.

Googled this place to get my juice fix on. Place was pretty busy as far as I could tell and thought the wait might be too long. However I was greeted immediately and the staff did a great job of getting my order out on time. The juice was made to perfection and I was pleasantly surprised to see how fast it came out.
Will definitely be back again and again.

I just recently visited a friend in Irvine. Being only 2 miles away from the house, I thought I’d give this place a try. I usually get the strawberry wave. It was an expectedly busy Saturday morning.
I got my drink and grabbed a table when the staff approached me to ask how my day was going and how my smoothie was. Being a very busy day, I was amazed at the spot on customer service and appreciation! I wish juice it ups where I live back east were this appreciative.
When I return to irvine, I will definitely give this place another visit!

I have given this place chances and hoped for the best each time and even after many not so good experiences and being contacted by the owner. I only returned this last time because I had a gift card and my daughter loves the Melon Madness smoothie. We came in before dance class as we did before and there was only 1 customer ahead of us. There were 2 girls working, one took our order and the other was juicing. My daughter got the Melon Madness and I opted for the Awakener. After waiting for about 20 minutes for our drinks, we found that the Melon Madness was good & my juice was not.
My juice was thick and full of remnants of other fruit rinds probably from fruits such as pineapple, pitaya, kale, etc… my juice the Awakener is only suposed to have carrot, ginger, & orange juice but with all the extra icky fibrous stuff… it made it so difficult to swallow as I had to stop constantly to spit out the gunk. I would suggest cleaning out the pulp trap regularly to produce a drinkable product. It’s unfortunate that this place is unable to uphold it’s own namesake to make decent juice.
I will not be returning here again and will instead be making my own juice and smoothies at home from now on.

After my initial review, the owner contacted me about my experience. He explained that sometimes, the employees might put too much strawberries in the Mango Mania and the flavor overpowers the mango. He offered for me to re-​visit the store and tr another smoothie on the house.
Instead of giving the Mango Mania another try, I got the Seabreeze Squeeze and this smoothie was amazing. It tasted similar to a Caribbean Passion but even BETTER!
I really appreciate it when owners reach out to their customers and try to make up for a bad experience so thank you!

Juice it up is okay. I only come here once in a while because it’s the closest smoothie place from my house. In terms of smoothies, I prefer Jamba Juice. However, Juice it up does have a lot more options of juices.
I usually get the Immunizer juice blend when I’m trying to drink something yummy but healthy. This drink actually tastes good even though there’s a bunch of veggies in it! Today however made me really sad… I ordered the Immunizer and it tasted completely bland like they forgot to put pineapples in it. :(I already waited so long (like I usually do) to get my drink that I didn’t wanna wait longer to get it fixed.
2 downers about this place is the long wait to get your drink made and also the inconsistency of their drinks. I’m SO SAD I brought home a yucky bland drink today that I paid $ 7 for.
