Creative Juice

Can’t speak for the juice here since I only grabbed herbal tea from the establishment. It appears to be clean and the staff answered my questions and whipped up a comforting cup of tea. You have to sweeten your own beverage so the expectation of a barista mixing up a flavorful drink is null. If you are passing through I would recommend Creative Juice however not a spot to make a trip.

Decided to grab a healthy drink before continuing our journey to Central Park. Cute little spot near Equinox. I quite enjoyed the Green Detox. The hint of raw ginger added a little something and complimented the kale nicely. Service was great as well!

This place has it’s merits and downfalls. 1) they don’t make fresh juice on site (liquiteria doesn’t do this either) and I read in a review below that the juices can sit there for weeks. I’m not sure if this is true since they have expiration dates all within 3 days of when you find them but it’s still unsettling and why not just make fresh juice, ya know? 2) the smoothies are delicious. The strawberry warrior has little chewy bits of date in it and it’s dreamy. The green detox is also good and it’s nice that they use ingredients like E3 live. 3) it’s pricey. But what juice place isn’t these days? If you have the dough to spend, it’s certainly worth it — if only to fuel your body with some good ‘ol fruit and veggie nourishment.

I wish I had better things to report about this place. I was so amped to try it.
The #1 reason my rating is low is because this location does not offer fresh-​made juices, and they juices they do have are processed using HPP, which means they can sit on the shelf for 6 weeks (the girl behind the counter told us this) and said that the ones they had there had already been sitting for two. Of course this fact is nowhere on the label, and we would have totally bought a juice being none the wiser if we had not specifically asked.
Get informed, people. Don’t drink HPP juice. Ask questions. Get companies to be more transparent. Amazing that Creative Juice can make these claims that their juices are «raw» and trick you into thinking you’re getting something great when really you aren’t. If you want good juice, go to Juice Press, Gingersnap’s Organic, or One Lucky Duck. They are so transparent about their product and operate with great integrity.
Pros of this place: lots of good food options, many vegan friendly. Organic, which is awesome. Friendly staff. They added kale to my smoothie with no problem. Honestly though, for it being «creative juice» I was expecting some really crazy and unexpected flavors and ingredients. Can’t say I was that impressed in that regard. I also like that there is an area to sit, but it’s not really conducive to doing much because they are blasting thumping music through the speakers.
Would be curious to try the location that actually makes the juices fresh…

I’m not sure why equinox is not putting a juice generation in all of their locations. Creative juices have limited options and their juices do not taste a good. #Failequinox

Lots of healthy juice options and snacks. It is pricey and seems to cater to the Equinox crowd. Its stellar for convenience, cleanliness and quick service. Lots of seating and you aren’t rushed to move when you are finished with your meal.

Wow. Thanks for getting me sick so I had to take time off work. Stick to horrible hamburgers danny meyer. This place is a joke and absolutely disgusting. I made the huge mistake of getting a few of their juices before researching them. They HPP — high pressure pasteurize their juices so they kill ALL nutrients in them and last for weeks. Thats pretty disgusting to think I drank juices that are good for and apparently were sitting for weeks. I got very sick and was throwing up quite badly after drinking their juices. They charge very high prices for juices that are about as good for you as tropicana since they are HPP’d and will get you sick. I would seriously recommend avoiding at all costs! Stick to juice press and the others that actually make fresh raw juices that are healthy with nutrients and wont get you sick.
Equinox STOP PUTTING CREATIVE JUICES AT YOUR GYMS!!! My god equinox had great juice bars before in all the gyms I went to in the city now its all this garbage creative juice. Kill this horrible failure of an idea and bring back the great juice bars you had before at columbus circle and here where I work out.

I echo a lot of the sentiment of Leslie D-​the 1^st reviewer. Its very good quality, excellent choices for a juice bar. The most unique juice/​smoothie choices I have seen. UNfortunately they are extremely pricey, certainly too much to enjoy on a regular basis for most of us.
I agree with Leslie that the service is very good. Quick, efficient and friendly.

Hm… I’m not sure how I feel about Creative Juice completely especially since I feel like it’s catered specifically to the Equinox clientele (i.e. big prices, small food, heavy emphasis on «healthy» marketing and packaging)… but I’ll give it a few more tries.
Case in point, went here yesterday to grab lunch for myself, my boss boss, my manager and my coworker. Spent $ 40 on a small veggie burger, a tiny cup of soup, a small wrap and a pre-​bottled protein smoothie. The protein smoothie I had (Sunset Boulevard: Blood orange marmalade, almond butter, banana, rice protein D/​G/​S) was actually quite delicious but I wish there was nutritional information on the bottle. I was told that there is no sugar added in any of their beverages/​smoothies/​juices but unless I see that in writing or on their website, I don’t believe it.
The food was reportedly yummy but again, small. Everyone was hungry again in a few hours and I found people clawing through leftover week-​old fruit in the fridge around 3 o’clock. Gross and funny.
Customer service was spot on though with offering me a double serving of soup and a bottle of smart water since I waited 10 – 15 minutes for the soup at 11:50am. Come on people, you are next to a huge financial building where people start grabbing their lunches at 11 am since they are in at 7 am. Get with the program and have the grub ready earlier! :)
