JuiceLand Frost Tower — Restaurant in Austin

Not the first time I’m popping by here to give Juiceland a shout out and it won’t be my last. A year ago I bought the reusable YETI tumbler which comes with an ongoing discount. Great purchase! Really inspired me to get smoothies as often as possible. In a typical week I have 4-5 large Mr. Peabodies, hold the spinach, double the kale. This is my favorite meal in the world—light, refreshing, filling, healthy DELICIOUS. But there’s something else that keeps me coming back. While I go to a variety of locations depending on where my work takes me on any given day, I spend the most time at the Frost Tower location. The staff there (and at the other locations) is WONDERFUL. Every day they greet me with good cheer and by name. They have my order memorized even though it’s not on the menu. It’s like the days of my youth when I was a big old drunk and the bartender had my drink waiting for me. Only now it’s not about getting drunk, it’s about getting healthy. The great attitude of the employees nourishes my soul at least as much as the smoothie nourishes my body. Just this morning Jim and I had a wonderful chat. I am so grateful to all the folks out there making Juiceland work. Thanks...

The smoothies are delicious - but the manager’s* attitude is not. He is incredibly rude and inconsiderate, nonresponse, and sour. The other staff I encountered was delightful and refreshing. How completely unacceptable to treat paying customers with such disregard and disrespect by a leader. This place has the potential to be a wonderful spot for people to gather, but I see now why every time I go in, it’s empty. Negative energy should never be projected on customers and this will get you nowhere fast.

*I will correct this review and state it was an employee and not the manager. I apologize for the initial incorrect information.

Juiceland has reached out and offered me to email their team with details for further conversation, and responded both on social media and on Google promptly, of which I am grateful for. More to come on...

UPDATE Back after 5 years and this place is still fabulous. Had the percolator with peanut butter - great for a morning pickup. I really like this juice/smoothie joint and usually stop in if I'm in town. My go-to is the percolator with added peanut butter which serves as a great liquid breakfast to offset the fantastic (but rich) food Austin has to offer. If you are at one of the many conferences (here's looking at you SXSW) then this is the perfect place to grab a healthy and nutritious smoothie while running...
