ashker's juice bar and cafe

love it. great place. the staff and owners are just awesome people, always get to enjoy having great conversations with them when i'm there. the atmosphere is great, very comfortable, laidbackspace. they just added some chairs and tables outside too. they also get the community involved by inviting nutrition professionals in to do nutrition screenings, they have art showings and more. overall, this place is just awesome, such a great addition to the elmwood strip and adds to the culture perfectly. and most importantly, the food, smoothies and tea are always great and the prices are very reasonable.

happened upon this place on an elmwood stroll and couldn't be more pleased. we went in for smoothies and will definitely bebackfor lunch! or breakfast because they serve it all day. which is excellent. reasonable prices for organic ingredients also. will bebackmultiple times i'm sure

never got served. i was really excited to check this place out after looking it up online. it is a cool looking place with tasteful music and decorating. when i got there i could not find a menu anywhere. once i got the young man's attention at the counter he could not find a single menu and offered what appeared to be the one he was working off of since it was smeared by several colors of juice. he seemed incredibly overwhelmed and nervous. i presume it was his first day. i ordered a green juice (can't remember the name) he charged me somewhere around $4.20 and then i waited. i continued to wait for maybe 15 minutes. after awhile i approached them about my drink. he told me that the juicer was broken and it would be a little longer. so i continued to wait. eventually he told me that it would not be fixed for an hour. imagine that...a juice bar with no juicer. you think they would have two going or atleast abackup juicer. i was very sweet about it and was refunded less than what i paid..but still said nothing and instead asked when they would be open tomorrow. a man from thebacktold me 9am...twice. so even though i had a terrible experience i decided to driveback(40 minute drive) the very next morning in hopes of trying one of their juices. i was there at 9am and they were not open...no lights, nothing. so i decided to go to a bakery instead...when walkingbackto my car around 10am i saw the man who told me they open at 9am sitting out front. so sadly i was very disappointed. i usually give most places a couple chances, but i doubt i will ever go back. their customer service was unacceptable.

great place. fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. staff super friendly and anxious to please. had a wonderful evening....ate a ton of delicious food, and drank coffee specials. will gobackagain and again.....and take good book to read. great place to relax and talk with friends.
