Before I explain why I gave this place 3 stars instead of 5, I would like to point out how great this business is and how Alex provides superb customer service. The food and drinks made here are phenomenal. It is so great to have such an establishment here in the bronx that promotes healthy eating. I love the fact that I can support a local business right here in my hometown. So it hurt my heart to have to say the staff are not so friendly. The two times I went to visit I felt insulted as a paying customer. The first time I was waiting for my sandwich to be made which was taking a while but I didn't mind because I was enjoying the many artworks placed on their wall. I heard someone say "Why is she still here?" I know I would have felt better if she had said, "Is she being helped?"

Their point system is also lackadaisical. One point per visit… that takes ages to reach any reward. I’ve spent a lot of money with freckles over time and the point never got me anywhere compared to the amount of money I’ve spent.
Again, Freckles is a good juice bar with a nice aesthetic, just more on...
Read moreI went there trying to get a healthy smoothie for breakfast. The ladies customer service was very friendly and professional. She gave me options on what type of smooth texture, and creaminess I was looking for. She also gave me a sample of smoothie that is called one love on their menu. When it came down to me smoothie which is a blueberry fuller smooth. I was in heaven, its like I was hooked. I've never had a smoothie so good in my life. No natural and so organic. Every sip I took was more joyful, I wish you guys had a branch in brooklyn, which I live at. You guys should open more stores across New York City one for every boro. I don't even like the other smoothie chains. Freckles is the best smoothie place I have ever been to in my...
