CraveWell Juicery & Cafe Westside Village — Restaurant in Atlanta

One of the things I missed the most when moving from LA to Atlanta was the proliferation of amazing fresh cold pressed juice shops all over the city, that offered delicious drinks and food that were also great for health and wellness. Especially as someone who loves to drink, more than eat, my vegetables (a necessary evil). To me taste is the priority - and would help me actually consume more of what I know is better for me.

So I was delighted to find Clean Juice at the lovely Westside Village, offering bottled, fresh pressed juices as well as tasty healthy eats. Grabbed some bottles of “Green” made with all organic ingredients: celery, cucumber, ginger, kale, lemon, spinach, no GMOs, no hidden additives and no preservatives. While there are a few juice shops in Atlanta, a lot of them tend to add sweet ingredients to overcompensate for the veggie taste - adding apple, pineapple or sweetened almond milk, which to me defeats the purpose / dilutes the benefits of the juice and makes it taste too sweet / makes me question sugar intake. Maybe I’m just more used to it after years of green juices from LA spots, but was happy to see that Clean Juice offers varieties that are more straight to the good stuff, no added sugary ingredients.

For purposeful sweet treat I also enjoyed the seasonal “Incredi Bowl” made with Acai blended with banana, spinach, blueberries, blue spirulina, vanilla, almond butter, honey, hemp protein & almond milk – topped with granola, strawberries, chia seeds, & coconut chips. Every ingredient is organic.

The plaza that Clean Juice is in, is adorable and had patio tables safely social distanced - will definitely be back for lazy...

I am giving this location a 2 because I along with my family received stellar service from n Sunday August 8th, 2021. I returned Monday August 9th, 2021 and the service was not so great. After mixing the Recovery smoothie the server used her hand to scrape the remaining mix into what was supposed my cup. Both of her coworkers (one I assume was a manager) saw and smirked like whatever as she thought I was going to actually accept what she did. When I said something. One of the coworkers said…give her the one in the middle (which was poured prior to the hand going in) when I went to grab it the other customer nicely said it was hers. I backed away and stated I was not going to drink what was presented to me. Another smoothie was made for me. The fact that there were two young men sitting and watching also giggling seemed to attracting their servers attention. I am not sure if they were trying to impress the young men or not. The fact is it not proper protocol to use your hand (gloved or not) to scrape the remaining mixture into the cup. It is also very inappropriate for the staff to look at it like it is an “oh well” moment and expect a customer...

Bad Business!!!! Check your receipt. Over charging. Lack of adult supervision. Extremely Slow and terribly unprofessional...Today, I entered the Clean Juice store and ordered four drinks. As the next customer ordered her drinks, she noticed that the price that she was charged was not the price on the window advertisement. The cashier, Mia, called for another employee named Sydney. Sydney responded by saying “ All of our prices went up a dollar last week and my manager is not here. I don't know where she nor the assistant manager is, but they aren't here.“ As the situation worsened. I noticed that Mia was aimlessly following Sydney and repeating her unprofessional responses. My drinks were not being made and I was over charged, as well. I asked for a refund given the wait time, overcharge and ongoing back and fourth. Sydney responded by saying, " we'll take your number and the managers will have to call you about a refund because we can't do refunds." Wow!!! Now, I'm out of forty bucks and have no drinks because clearly the owners could care less about...
