I love Arden's Garden and this location in particular. It's a slightly newer one and I am so delighted to have it so close to work!
The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
If you are a newbie to veggie juices, try the Yoga 1 - great greens such as kale, spinach and cucumber but the added pineapple is what you will primarily taste.
Carrot/Apple/Ginger is another fav along with Hot Shot, Paradise, Green Energy Machine and a few seasonal favorites (Tangerine and Watermelon).
Do try the Grand Slam at some point - a 1oz shot of wheatgrass, ginger, lemon and cranberry juices. The ginger will hurt every feeling you have. Seriously. Disgusting on it's own. But good for you along with the others. They will usually offer a chaser which will taste like nectar of the Gods after the Grand Slam. If they don't, ask for one.
Check them out if you have ever thought about juicing or want to add some goodness into your system along with the great food around the city. They do cleanses and detoxes also. I recently did a 2 day one and (survived) was surprised at how much I was not starving and enjoyed the break from thinking about what was for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Seemed to reset my taste...
Read moreThis location is tucked away in the corner of Centre Court shopping center. I've passed by the one in Little Five many times before and heard it's good from friends but never tired it personally. Came to this plaza to run an errand and was hungry for a healthy lunch. I walked in wanting to see what Arden's Garden has to offer. The person there patiently explained to me how their smoothies worked so I chose the vegetable base with 3 fruit and added chia seeds for an additional $1 I think it was. I got the medium but should've opted for the small since I also got a salad from there and it was pretty filling.
I ate my salad in the store. When I walked in there wasn't any other customers, but the flow of traffic was pretty consistent and many people came in to pick up stuff from their fridge section, etc. Another popular option was the shooters which was 4 shots of their various different juices, including a fresh wheat grass shot as well. Next time I might come back and try that.
There was also gluten-free sweets I almost bought. Overall a good choice if you're wanting to eat clean or have a refreshing...
Read moreGreat shop but very bad experience. Stopped in to quickly pick up a juice (prepackaged) over an hour before closing. Although my friend and I were in the shop no more than 8 minutes including checkout, we were told multiple times that we were not welcome and needed to leave . Although the sign on the door read 8, the store was closing early and she was adamant the door had to be locked at 7:05. The young woman continued to complain, even though it was at least 10 minutes before 7. Upon checkout, she said that she wished we had arrived 30 minutes earlier. She was also extremely impatient and condescending while I used the card reader. You can imagine that this made us and the other customer in the store very uncomfortable. Horrible customer service and attitude for anyone in the food service industry. Note: we did not order a smoothie. We didn’t ask questions about the products. We quickly choose items and brought them to the register. She only had to punch 3 items into the checkout software yet she still berated us (in a passive aggressive manner)for entering the shop....
