great juice, ok food, bad service.

I called ahead and told them I was an "out-of-towner" and would be stopping in and that I had found them on Happy Cow. When I got there, I felt a tad rushed by the first person helping me. They didnt have alot of green juices on menu as I was expecting by the name of the place, but they did make one which was fine- local, organic, and vegan of course. Then I decided I would also have a sandwich. There weren't many "all vegan" options. There was one I chose they called "Garden Sandwich" which included cheese and mayo. They said "oh you can just leave the cheese off".. and yet no choice of vegan cheese. Then the man (who I think was the co-owner) said that they did have veganise however..Sooo I went for the sandwich and SPECFICALLY said to please add the veganaise. When sandwich arrived I bite into it- kinda dry and yet NO veganise!! BUT to make matters worse, I approached the counter, and the woman - who I believe is the other co-owner SHARPLY said to me
"We dont have veganise right now!" WOW. Right after I bought the sandwich contingent on that fact!! The man overheard this and said to the woman "oh are we out?" BUT NO APOLOGY to me!! NOT one, or can I get you anything else? I went on to say to them- "Yeah, well I did specify that." He wrapped up the sandwich for me to go like he felt a little bad about not knowing they were out.
But still no apology. And the woman who snapped at me, never made eye contact or apologized either!

I am really disappointed in the attitude of this place, but I am glad to know there is access to organic fresh juices in Eugene. If you can handle some moody service, you may like this place. The atmosphere was nice. Lots of creative art and music was pleasant. Just not the people working there!!!

Decent place I guess

Flies all over the place, and dust/dirt/mold all over the ceiling, and thats just the physical building. Lack of decent heating and why are there giant automatic sliding glass doors? But anyway all of this would be ok if the service & food made up for it...

I had a tomato/cheese melt there and it was overly greasy and sloppy, with not much going on. I had a smoothie but to get them to make me something vegan it was like pulling teeth. News flash you are in EUGENE OREGON! Put vegan options all over your menu if you want to claim you are a healthy alternative. I shouldn't have to pick apart your drinks because you feel the need to stick dairy products in everything. And there were no straight vegan sandwich options, as referenced in other reviews.

The service was really bad, especially for dealing with the owner himself. He said he was going to retire at 62 but didn't, and he acts like he wishes he had. Don't be so surprised when someone wants something Vegan from your menu, and cliched as it may be, the customer is always right. And not all of us like honey, try xylitol or some other healthier alternative.

Pros: The flies didn't land on me

Cons: Service, Lack of vegan options

Not Vegan Friendly

I tried to get a vegan smoothie here. The counter person said all their smoothies were prepackaged, and I couldn't get one. I have never tried to eat here, but I think I'll save my time anyway.

Cons: Not Vegan

Good juice

We had two really nice juices there today. I will update a review if I ever eat there, but w the mercury hitting the high 90s and even 100s, tried some fresh juice that was a life saver today. I had Apple Blackberry, and old fave combo, and m'lady had herself a peach smoothie. Peaches were picked today.

The interior was really cool. Great design w AC. Staff was friendly. I'll check it out at some point again.

Pros: Fresh juice, Great interior w AC, nice folks
