Vita Cane Alhambra — Restaurant in Alhambra

I have been to this location a couple of times. Both times I ordered a large fire dragon sugar cane juice. The first time I told the employee that I wanted light ice, then he mentioned that he could try, but that he was supposed to put more ice. We talked about it and he was understanding and just put light ice. The juice was pretty good so I decided to come back again. I drove from Pasadena to this location for a second time because I liked it. I ordered the same drink. This time the employee insisted that she couldn't do light ice. She showed me a large cup that they use as a measurement. The cup had two marks, one mark at 30% of the cup and the other one at 50%. She told me that those were my two options for ice or that she could give me the juice with no ice, but that I would get less juice. I am paying around $9.00 for a 32 ounces juice. It is not cheap at all. Why is this establishment forcing the customer to choose between 30%-50% of ice in a juice? I am paying a hefty price for just a juice, I do not want that much ice because I am getting less juice than what I am paying for and because once the ice starts melting down it will water down the juice flavor. She showed me how much juice I was going to get if I didn't want ice. It was a significant amount that I was missing. I was paying for a 32 ounces, but instead I was going to get 26-28 ounces if I chose that option. She gave me more ice than what I got the first time, pretty close to 30% of ice. Their sales tactics are despicable. I am not blaming the employee because she is just following orders. But, as a customer I just want to order what I want, pay the price they are asking for and enjoy my drink. It is very disappointing to deal with this kind of business that want to choose for the customer instead of letting a customer choose for himself or herself. It doesn't make any sense to play that kind of game. "Either 30%-50% ice or less juice with no ice". I feel that I am getting rip off because I am not getting what I paid for. Why is it so hard to just give me a juice with light ice? Very pathetic policy. I am not coming back to this place and I wouldn't recommend...

A fresh juicery and acai bowl are always salubrious. Vita Cane is a new juicery and acai bar located on Main st and Garfield ave. I love checking out, giving reviews and supporting new business. It’s interior atmosphere and decor was welcoming and very cute, respectively. They have plethora of juice/acai choices on the menu. As for juices, they only offer two sizes: regular (24 oz) and large (32 oz) cups. I ordered one of their signature mixology juice called CocoMelon. It’s made of fresh pressed raw cane, coconut water, watermelon juice and coconut bits. Similarly, they have five premium drinks which are very interesting. As for acai bowl, you can build your own and they only have two sizes: small (12 oz) and regular (16 oz). Moreover, there is no limit to how many bases and toppings you can put. I ended up with one base-Açaí and multiple fresh fruit toppings. Staff were very helpful, attentive and professional. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of parking garage in the vicinity. Overall, enjoyed my order experience and juice/acai bowl. I highly recommend this...

So glad this place popped up, Alhambra needs more places like this. I was craving an Açaí bowl and didn’t want to drive up to Pasadena so I walked down to Main Street to try this place out. You can build your own Açaí bowl with different bases (I did açaí and chia pudding) and you can choose from UNLIMITED toppings (presuming they all fit under the lid). I got a large for $10 and it was so worth it. Great early lunch (at the time I went they didn’t open until 11a). Most places like this have pre-set toppings that come on it and you have to pay extra for additional toppings, but this place you can customize. I will definitely be back, for açaí and for their passion fruit juice with fresh sugarcane. I forgot my wallet, but luckily they...
