Went there today for lunch. It was what I would I definitely consider a dive. I started off with a shot of wheatgrass while I waited for the future Mrs. TheWiz. It tasted like.... grass. The hippie waitress told me to be sure to at least drink a full glass of water due to its cleansing potential. For Lunch the Mrs. and I both got the lunch combo of 1/2 sandwich, soup, and side salad. My sandwich was a spinach melt add chicken. On it was melted muenster and cheddar, and of course spinach. It sat on foccacia bread. She got a turkey loaded with fresh greens, monster slices of avacado, and tomatoes on a 7-grain bread. My soup was a smoke bell pepper soup. It was flavored very well. A little smokey and sweet. Just right. She got the white bean chili which was flavored very well, but I don't know if she got the bottom of the pot because her cup was loaded with bacon. Nonetheless, still very flavorful. It was more broth-ish rather than the thicker versions I've usually had. Salads were both the same with a mango vinigairette. It was okay but not as fruity as I had expected. I washed mine down with 16oz of fresh carrot juice and she with a 12oz of grapefruit juice. Overall it was a really neat place, and the food was great. I would like to go back on a weekend and do the brunch side which looked heavenly.

I have never even considered going here for anything other than breakfast. Interesting.

$32 plus tip. The juice was what's so expensive. I think the 16oz was $6.15. I'd go back.

Yeah. If you take away the juices it was only ten a head, but what's the point of going to a juice bar then.

The juice's are expensive, but the food is not. The housemade bagels with lox or avocado mash is on the spot

i beg to differ. i find even the food to be overpriced. It's over $12 after tax for bagel and lox. that's pretty outrageous.

How is a bagel and lox more expensive than their Big Montana plate?

I want to get the Bananas Foster french toast. I saw that on Triple D and it looked good.

Personally, I've never found this place to be worth what you pay.
