RAD HABITS Juice Co. — Restaurant in San Diego

PLEASE READ, SHARE, AND HELP!

I really love their products and juices and believe in supporting local business!! However, they do not compost their green waste!!!!!!

SO sad, and its so very important,, this location processes so much produce for their fruit/ vegetable drinks and smoothies. I have asked them about their green waste/ composting practices, and for over a year, they have not started. They recently got the bins but seem to be confused, and when I asked them about it for the 5th time, they said they were. HOWEVER, the greenwaste bin was empty twice when I checked it, and it had regular trash in it.

Three important facts on why we must recycle green waste:

It saves space in the landfills. A LOT OF SPACE! If we don't recycle our green waste, the thrown away material is buried and breaks down anaerobically (without oxygen), and creates METHANE, which is 80X worse than carbon in its potency as a greenhouse gas. When we recycle/compost our green waste, it creates nutrient rich DIVERSE SOIL amendment of bacteria and fungi that helps fertilize and feed our soil microbiome Organic fertilizers are far better than synthetic fertilizers and a critical component in sustainable farming practices and land management for generations to come.

Last: Friendly reminder, the green waste bins are mandatory for commercial sites and businesses, and they are responsible for offering this service. Even with the Senate Bill #1383 passing into effect on January 2022, many places are still behind,,,, PLEASE HELP!! And yes, recycling green waste/ composting can be a pain in the butt! However, it's an important part of our HUMAN responsibility to be better stewards of the environment and our home...

a little disappointed because I love all the things they offer here as to high quality ingredients, but I ordered an acai bowl and it looked nothing like the picture on the website. I'm not one to complain and I was also already having a rough day so I didn't say anything because I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, but when I received it, it looked like no fruit was included, it was watered down to where I didn't need my spoon I literally drank it out the bowl and got lucky to have at least 4 small chunks of banana and strawberry, but again NOTHING like the picture. I wish I would've taken a picture, but I didn't think I was going to leave a review, only reason i decided to is because I would really like to see this business improve and I'm not sure if the girl there was just having a rough day also and was desperate to leave because the acai bowl wasn't great and also when I tried sitting outside to enjoy it I left 5 seconds after because there was no music so i took it as a sign of her trying to leave already because it was 4pm and they close at 5, but if I'm paying $17 for a bowl plus tip..It would be nice to receive the quality of food & service. I definitely still want to give a second chance though because again I do love what they offer and I had really high hopes to becoming a regular here, but I guess we'll find out when I try it out again if not, maybe just stick to buying the things they sale on the shelf which I found interesting because I would really love to still support this business for...

The point of a juice bar is so that you can drink fresh juice. Experts agree that the longer amount of time that passes between when the juice is made and when it is consumed, the less effective the nutrients become. But this juice bar is lazy and careless about the health of its customers and only makes juice every few days — even when they run out! I have wasted my lunch break two days in a row to drive over here, only to discover they’re still out of juice. At this rate, it’s far more economical to just buy juice at Whole Foods. The only benefit I could see before was the freshness of the juice…but now that I know the juice here isn’t any fresher than the must cheaper juice at Whole Foods, which is also more convenient AND they do a better job of keeping it in stock, I can’t help but wonder what kind of business these people are pretending to run. Because it definitely isn’t about...
