Ah Juice Organic Cafe (100 Organic Cafe Pressed Juice)

So much potential!!! But foods are cooked mostly in sunflower oil and staff feels reluctant to share information over ingredients. I felt uncomfortable for asking and left bummed there was no one who wanted to work with me to find more food that I could eat.

I have tried the Chinese chicken salad as well as the kelp noodle salad and loved both of them! Good portion size, fresh healthy food, and quick service. I also tried one of the treats in the fridge, a spirulina bar as recommended to me, and it was incredible and healthy! I’ve taken to go both times, but looks like they have a nice patio in the back that I’ll have to dine at next time.

I was so excited to come try this new healthy spot. I saw their info on one of their delivering cars this morning. Once I arrived I was helped by the cashier and explained I’ve done juice cleanses before but never been successful, he was doing a great job explaining and helping to guide me with the advice before he was quickly pushed to the back by the owner who was very short with his words, rude and not inviting at all. He quickly asked if I had paid for the juices I had there and proceeded to rush me out by stating I can’t order a juice cleanse for Tuesday only Wednesday. It was a quite the opposite of what I hoped for when walking in there this morning, very excited to find this new spot. Sadly I will be getting my juice cleanses from any where but here moving forward and will not be returning due to the lack of customer service by none other than the owner….it was a very strange experience but again I truly appreciated the help of the cashier who tried to help me understand the best way to do my cleanse originally before being rudely interrupted by the ornery, impatient, very rude owner. Parking: Lacking parking for sure

Ahhh…. that’s what my body said the first time I drank one of the juices made daily, at Ah Juice. Immediately I could feel my body thanking for FINALLY giving it what it needed. I’ve always known I should eat more veggies, but I rarely ever cook, and the idea of juicing a bunch of veggies every day was just not ever going to happen… not to mention all the clean up. The fair and reasonable price per serving is more than worth it to me, to avoid all the hassle and time it would take to do it myself. Their food is also very good. I’m not an extreme health food kinda guy, but mainly because I just don’t have the time to research everything and go out of my way to go to the places I would otherwise need to go. At Ah Juice however, I know the food is always top quality and a safe bet for nutritional value as well as being organic. Can’t say enough good things about them, they are my favorite little restaurant in Santa Barbara!

Unassuming place with friendly staff, and taste food.
