Crussh

For a chain, this place is delicious! I had the spicy chicken soup which was like a vegetable tomato soup, but with chicken. Very hot and very tasty! The place was clean and with an abundance of seating.
I also got the tuna wrap with cucumber. It lacked flavor but was very filling– especially after the soup. Luckily they pre-​cut it in half, so I took the rest home!

All the smoothies I’ve had from Crushh have been very nice, my favourite of them being the Detox Cactus. I’d come here more often for them if they were a bit less dear!
The wraps and the little snack pots are tasty too. The best item on offer though is a seriously delicious Feta, Broccoli and Quinoa Salad. That’s my staple choice when I am crusshing.

Das Crussh beschreiben zwei Wörter ziemlich gut: Smoothies & Porridge! Die Smoothies werden den ganzen Tag angeboten und die Auswahl ist ziemlich beeindruckend. Zudem verkaufen die noch «frisch» Salate aus dem Kühlregal wenn man keine Lust hat sich selber was zuhaue zu machen. Die sehen zwar extrem lecker aus, schmecken aber leider nicht ganz so gut.
Das zweite ist Porridge. Das wird nur am Vormittag angeboten und wird auch nicht frisch für jeden Gast zubereitet sondern wartet in einem grossen Topf darauf serviert zu werden. Da kann man Glück oder Pech haben. Kommt man sehr spät, lag das Porridge schon sehr lange im Topf und ist sehr pampig.
Kommt man aber früh schmeckt es ausgezeichnet! Man kann dann noch wählen was man zum Porridge dazu haben möchte, zur Auswahl stehen z.B. Bananen, Beeren Kompott, Maple Sirup, Honig und man darf sich immer 2 aussuchen.

Fast service. Only gripe I have is, on a particular visit, Crussh carried neither pear nor cherry. Banana did just fine — it was a less girly choice anyway.

They lured me in with a voucher, a voucher that gives you a free medium smoothie of your choice if you buy a salad, sandwich or soup. I confess, I was sceptical of their «healthy» image… who wants a wheat grass shot, seriously?!
Anyhooo, I tried, I loved, and I go there for lunch all the time. The food is actually pretty reasonably priced, I love the smoothies and the little pots of salad, which are about £2.00, but surprisingly filling and very very tasty. Soups as well, are pretty good and the staff are really nice.

Generally, these smoothie places popping up everywhere really get on my nerves. It’s like everywhere you go somebody wants to mash up some strawberries and charge you £6 to put a few of them in a plastic cup. And to be honest, I don’t really believe in all the nonsense, y’know, where they throw in a few leaves or whatever the hell it is and tell you that it’s got like 50 types of b-​vitamin and a whole energy combo blah blah. Like whatever, go away.
However, as much as this makes me disgruntled… I LOVE Crussh! They completely rock the Disco.
If you don’t think they rock, then do this. Go to a Crussh store and order a GOOD MORNING SMOOTHIE. This’ll be the best thing you do all day. In fact, I did it with a friend once and we loved it so much that we had three of them. Which is a very bad idea for your stomach, I do not recommend it.
But anyways, I’m not concerned about the health benefits of these drinks; and I do think the place is pricy… however, some of these smoothies taste astonisingly good.
So much so that I’ve tried going to other smoothie shops but they tend to suck and taste not much different from my awful homemade smoothies. But Crussh get it right; and I am always open to being ripped off in the name of a good tasting Crush smoothie.
Go do it, go to it right now — get a good morning smoothie. Actually, not right now, it’s nearly midnight. But maybe tomorrow…

Love it here!
The good things far outweigh one or two negative aspects of the shop but nonetheless, It’s pretty cool!
Smoothies are always my favourite type of drink when I’m just plain bored of tea and Hot Chocolate. This place delivers pretty damn well. They offer all the flavours you could need as well as some pretty good hangover ‘cures’ as well as the normal sandwiches, coffee and other stuff. Good flavours, well made food! Just what I need.
The bad things: Not so much on this one! The store gets rammed during peak times and so it’s never a case of pop in/​pop out, more pop in, queue for 20 minutes and then stagger out!
the staff are at the extremes of helpfulness, either extraordinarily slow, or so efficient that you don’t know if you’ve been served or just made to be herded out the door
This is based on personal experience But I wouldn’t mind a happy medium!

I got into the habit during my working life at Canary Wharf of having breakfast at Crussh most days. This was when I was a sane and solvent individual, and had a proper job, and not one that involved substantial periods of resting.
But I digress. Although Crussh would always be heaving to the rafters with mannerless Cityboys elbowing you out of the way to grab their organic porridge (with two free toppings), the friendly staff always made the visits as pleasant and efficient as possible. I generally went for a smoothie rather than the porridge, with my favourites being the Energy Explosion and the Fat Burner. All the Super Smoothies have a specific booster, aimed at one issue in particular, so if you’d had a grand night out on the Toilet Duck once again, there’s something to give you an instant pick me up here.
An unsung plus to Crussh’s bill of fare are the small but perfectly formed salads. Full of interesting things like whole grains, chunks of oily mackerel, and various leaves and berries, they will fill even the greediest of gutses up for hours.
Wheatgrass addicts can also get their fix here, and it’s frequently on offer. Personally, the smell makes me hurl
