South Block — Restaurant in Washington

I don't live in Gtown but live nearby and come often with my friends to shop and eat because it is so nice. I usually go to the South Block in Arlington. It's amazing there, perfect service, amazing food, such nice workers and great atmosphere. It was my 3rd time at this South Block. I walk in and it's crazy packed. I wait in a 15 minute line only to be informed by order will take 10-20 minutes to make and I can't pay with cash. Being classic me always craving South Block orders anyways with extra granola. I was 20 minutes at the seating place and then go to where orders are announced. I wait another 15 minutes and my friends order is up. It had been like an hour since we got there. I wait like 10 minutes more and my order hadn't even come up. I was so annoyed and asked where is my order and they give me a random order that was on the counter without my extra granola. Waste of time and money never come to...

Their stuff is great, but the service is terrible. They easily forget your order when it's busy. Most of them don't seem to know what they're doing. If you make an online order, there's a 50% chance they'll never see it and you'll end up waiting forever. Or they'll keep asking you what was your order, because looking at the printed order they get doesn't make sense, right? But the best part is that there's always the possibility of getting a piece of plastic in your food.

"But Juan", I hear you say, "why didn't you complain to the manager or customer service?" Well, there is no customer service. And when you ask for a manager, employees are trained (so it seems) to say "he's unavailable". From my angle he seemed to be looking at his phone while sipping on a smoothie, but what do I know. I'm just the guy that almost choked on plastic in my bowl. That's not...

South Block Juice Co. is a gem! The atmosphere is bright, clean, and welcoming, with a great mix of modern and natural aesthetics. The staff is friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth.

I tried the avocado toast, and it was delicious—perfectly seasoned with red pepper flakes and hemp hearts on sprouted bread. The almond butter bowl was another standout, packed with fresh blueberries, cacao nibs, and creamy almond butter, making for a nutritious and satisfying treat. Their menu has a great selection of smoothies, acai bowls, and cold-pressed juices, all made with high-quality ingredients.

I also love that they have self-order kiosks, making it easy to customize your order. Plus, the “Puppy Smoothie” option is such a fun touch for dog owners!

Highly recommend stopping by for a fresh, healthy, and flavorful experience. Will definitely be...
