Arlee’s Raw Blends

This was my first time here But let’s just start with the price. I got the citrus blend and a cake for 5.99 and my total came to $ 20. The juice is a 16oz citrus blend. The cake and the juice were very clean and refreshing overall. However unless you can afford to spend money like that it seems to be a one time thing. The staff is helpful and friendly and it’s a clean store. I saw that a one day cleanse is $ 60. The stuff is good but just super pricey.

I wanted to get my daily smoothie/​juice in even though I was out of town. I found this shop and It was like raw juice heaven. I don’t remember the name of the woman that helped me but she was awesome. The kale crackers with the vegan dip was delicious. I green juice blend #2 that I had was awesome.

The juice I had was quite goo– it was the «blend of the day» with kale, cucumber, celery, lemon, and a couple of other ingredients that I van’t remember. It was refreshing and exceeded my expectations for flavor. I liked that they offered to sample the juice, too.
Here’s the thing… I can make this for less than $ 2 at home. I know it’s Princeton and things are expensive, but this seems exorbitantly high.

Is this a scam or what? Please read
I have been juicing for a while now I make my own juices at home, when I found this place I said let’s give it a try I was very disappointed.
I use a Breville Juice Fountain Plus Juicer JE98XL
I bought a two kale blend#3 and this is the first time I don’t drink it right away I put it in my fridge look at the picture and see what happens. I have noticed that the last time that I bought the drink that it seems the more lemony than others. I went back to the store and they said nobody complained and they would not refund my money. They said it felt more customers complained they would check into it. I felt on satisfied by the action of the staff and the owner. Last time I was there I had asked them if they do add water to water them their drinks and they said no but some of the drinks they have to add water to like Almond milk blend. I felt this was a scam and they do add water to water down all the drinks and the Admore lemon to hide the taste of the water. You check for yourself. After I left a drink in my fridge for 24 hours it looks separated I tasted to drink without shaking it seem to me like it was water with lemon on top you do the test and see what happens.

The juices here are quite expensive, adds up, but they always taste so good and fresh. Fresh cold pressed juices, made with organic ingredients. You can’t ask for more, expect to lower the prices by a bit, if you can… haha. I have liked most of the flavors, but my favorite is the almond blend. Also give the Ginger shot a try, if you are looking a real fast «wake-​me-​up»!
If you think you will go there a lot, opening a membership with them does save a little bit.

Expensive as hell but so good, i wish the dates would last longer but if its fresh I cant complain. Every juice taste great

Raw organic juices are good for you. But being sad and getting a sweet advice from the young girl who works there is priceless! It’s definitely pricey in here but I rather spend a lot on my health than wasting it on something not so good. I like that you can try out their juices and the owners take pride in what they do and explain everything you want to know and help you with choices. Great addition to Princeton and I always love seeing black businesses succeed!

This place was amazing! Jessica walked me thru the juices and I was able to sample everything I wanted. I couldn’t purchase enough! The beet blend is incredible. LOVE!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this place as a nearby stop to get fresh pressed, raw, organic juices. Young lady working was helpful and informative. Having had experience with these types of juices, I went in with a good idea of what I wanted to get. I was offered samples if I wanted to try out any of the juices. She was reluctant to let me try one of the samples because it had been made 2 days prior so it was getting close to the sell by date and she didn’t want to give me a sample that she didn’t feel would do the drink justice. The samples actually helped with my decision and after making my selection, the drinks were put in a nice mini cooler bag for me to carry. They also provide a discount for returning the bottles.
Previously my experience with juicing was the Cooler Cleanse. So that is what I was comparing Arlee’s to. There were a few of those drinks that I actually enjoyed but most i’d drink down fast to avoid the taste. However, with Arlee’s the drinks I thought I wouldn’t enjoy I found myself enjoying.
I did like the Kale Blend 2 over the Kale Blend 3. As was explained to me in the store, the lower the number, the sweeter the blend was. So 2 is sweeter than 3, 1 is sweeter than 2. That was definitely the case after trying both drinks.
The Pineapple Blend I expected to enjoy and it did not disappoint. You get that initial Pineapple taste with the mint flavor coming at the end to leave a little aftertaste.
The one I didn’t expect to like was the Beet Blend. My experience with the «Red Drink» during my Cooler Cleanse wasn’t pleasant. That was one of the drinks i’d get down fast because it had a chalky taste to it. It featured the same ingredients, Beets/​Carrots/​Apple/​Lemon but at Arlee’s they add in Ginger. I’m not sure if it’s the Ginger that made it that much better but I actually enjoyed the Beet Blend.
The last drink I purchased was the Almond Blend. I got both the one with Raw Cacao and the one without it. This was my favorite drink with the Cooler Cleanse. It always came at the end of the night after a full day of juices and featured raw almonds/​vanilla bean/​dates/​filtered water and would taste like a milkshake. Arlee’s goes with Organic Sprouted Almonds/​Organic Raw Agave/​Organic Cinnamon/​Organic Vanilla/​Distilled Water. The cinnamon really adds a nice spice to the drink. I do prefer the Blend without the Raw Cacao but both were enjoyable.
I’ll definitely be returning to Arlee’s and i’m excited to now have a go to spot to get good juice.
The only negative is that the larger, main bottles cost $ 10 which can become pricey if you go through them quickly but these types of juices are never cheap.
I would highly recommend Arlee’s to anyone looking for cold pressed, raw, organic, juice.

Well, I would like to rate Arlee’s higher, but with Tico’s down the street, there is a direct comparison that keeps you honest. I think Arlee’s juices are pressed, but i prefer more options.
The juice selections at Arlee’s are limited. Their combos are OK, but really more towards average. I do appreciate that the juices are bottled in glass. If you are particular about your juices being pressed, then Arlee’s is all you.

I sampled one of the kale juices-​just kale, lemon, and Apple (?) yet the flavor was amazing. Not too sweet but sweet enough. Love that it’s organic. I could easily drink one everyday, if it wasn’t for the price. At $ 6 per bottle, the juices are pricey.

Love their cold pressed lattes and watermelon juice. I would give this place 5 stars but it’s crazy expensive! The only good thing they do is that you get a dollar back for every empty juice bottle you bring back. :-)

Delicious, raw, organic juices in beautiful glass bottles! A must have when in Princeton. Every juice is delicious and healthy, cold pressed juice. If you return the bottle you receive $ 1 back for recycling the bottle. Treat yourself to something very healthy and delicious.

Good juice
But unnecessarily overpriced.
$ 11 for 16oz of juice? No thank you.
The overly expensive Whole Foods only charges $ 7.
It’s not even made fresh to order. Ours had a sell by day of two days hence. Sorry, not interested.

I’ve visited this place many times before I actually bought something. The store looks very clean and neat. Products are very organized and the store has a modern feel. I tried the vegan cheesecake the other time and it was very delicious! I couldn’t believe that it was made from plant based ingredients. This time I bought the Kale Blend #3. And the staff says it was freshly squeezed today. I could taste the freshness of the ingredients so I was happy about that. The only thing it bugs me is the price. A 16oz juice would be $ 10 plus tax… not very budget-friendly…but I believe they do subscription so you can save some money from that. Overall a great place! If they lower the price a little bit it would be 5 stars no doubt!

This place is amazing. They use all organic produce to make their juices on site every day. The juice is cold pressed so it stays good for three days or so. I usually buy green juice from whole foods or make it myself, but this place is my new stop! Since the juice is so fresh, I definitely notice it tastes better than bottled juices that have been sitting on the shelves for a long time. Juices are a little more expensive then other raw juice you can buy at the store, but I’m totally willing to spend a couple extra bucks for the quality, freshness and to support a local business. Plus they are a no-​waste facility! They don’t always have the same options in-​store (as they sell out) but are always making new blends, and will let you try anything.

I tried the Cacao blend and it was amazing! The salesperson was very friendly and offered me several samples so I could decide, which juice to buy. I thought they were all great, but a little pricey. One small juice is about $ 7 with the bottle deposit, but if you bring the bottle back they give you a $ 1 off your next juice.

Didn’t know this place had opened yet but walked over last week during a beautiful day to see — I was in luck because it was! They weren’t stocked fully (they said I just missed their lunch rush) but they had enough to choose from.
The person working (I think his name was Brian) was amazingly friendly and helpful. He let me try a beet juice and asked me what fruits/​veggies I enjoy.
The location is a little further down Nassau, but I think this place will thrive in Princeton. Juices are a bit expensive, but that’s to be expected for convenience of not juicing at home. I’m glad they told me to keep my glass because if you bring them back you get reimbursed, although I’m not sure how much. Looking forward to trying more from Arlee’s!

I was anxiously waiting for Arlee’s storefront to open and it did not disappoint. :)
They have fresh pressed bottled juices and some vegan snacks.
Very friendly service, they will let you sample a lot of the juices and other edible items.
Quality, raw, organic, vegan. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship.

I’ve never written a Unilocal review but must tell the story of how this awesome place saved me. I’m vegan and was in Princeton for business and didn’t have a car. I contacted them before I arrived and arranged to have some juices delivered to my hotel. They arrived on time and were delicious. I ordered the Kale 3 and Lime juices. Then, after realizing there were few vegan food options at my meeting (the host told me the vegan offering for dinner was the salmon!), I called Arlee’s in desparation and asked them to deliver kale salads and more juice. They immediately said yes, and delivered everything the next morning. I do not know what I would have done without them! A+ product and service. What a gem. I’ll be back each and everytime I’m in the area.
