Thought to give the place a try and the people working here were very nice! The place also has a nice atmosphere and plenty of space to relax. I ran into two huge issues with my order here: quality of product and price.
Crazy High Prices: I got two kids Sunset Lover smoothies, one regular Sunset Lover smoothie, and one regular Jitterhead. These totaled almost $40! Keep in mind that the kids smoothies are only 9oz ($5) each and the regular smoothies were only 24oz ($12.50) each. Compare this to a place like Jamba Juice where a kids smoothie is 10oz ($4), and a large regular smoothie is 28oz ($8.25).
Bad Quality Control: my Jitterhead smoothie had cocoa nibs in it, some of which were very large pieces. This made the overall consistency of the smoothie not consistent at all and required me to chew my smoothie to make sure I didn't choke on large cocoa nibs. In addition, every Sunset Lover smoothie was not drinkable because they all had hard raspberry seeds that made the smoothie gritty and impossible to actually drink. We had to actually come home and strain these hard seeds out of the smoothie to make it drinkable (see attached picture of hard seeds found in just one of the kids smoothies).
Really disappointed in this place since I was really interested in finding a great smoothie place near me. Avoid this place if you prefer not overpaying for low...

Locally owned by two sisters, Megan and Lauren, this café is so much more than a juice bar—it's a vibrant, welcoming spot that serves up fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully crafted drinks and food.
Whether you're in the mood for an energizing smoothie, a perfectly brewed coffee, or a refreshing organic tea or bubble tea, Juicehead has you covered.

After posting my initial review below, the owner responded to email them to discuss. I emailed them on 6/12 asking what other info was needed. Never got a response back.
Was passing through and was looking for a place that had coffee around me. Juicehead was closing in 45 minutes and figured I’d give them a shot since it said coffee too🤷♂️. Went in and asked the person working if they did pour over coffee. I received a very confused look so I just kinda moved on from it and ordered a black drip coffee. I half expected being 45 mins to close that this coffee was going to just taste old and I would just go about my day and just choke down the caffeine. However, was pleasantly surprised, as the drip Ethiopian coffee they brew was pretty decent. My review is not a reflection on the flavor of the coffee. Nor is it about how the coffee cup’s flaw, dripping down my hand and into my cup holder. My review is because when I finally got towards the bottom 1/3 of the $5+ large black coffee, I swallowed a mouthful of coffee grounds and poured out the remainder. So all in all, I...
