The food was SOOOO YUMMY and it made me feel great after eating it. My mom was sort of scared of going to such a healthy place but even SHE loved it. We got avocado toast, the breakfast bagel and the gluten free bread with cashew cream cheese. Each was delicious and we will come again! Also loved my macha. Service was great and ambiance felt clean and healthy.

When I had an issue they reached out to me and got everything sorted out - because they're really committed to providing a quality product and great customer service!

After giving a 1 star review at the Juice Ranch's Montecito location and receiving a very harsh retort from the owner's claiming I intended to do harm and that my frustrations were misplaced (versus trying to see it from the perspective of someone who is poor) I decided to give them another fair shot. This time I chose the closer venue. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have discount half off juices. Also when I asked the person working if they had all the half-off juices in stock they responded "Yes" with a bit of frustration in their voice saying if its on the board we have it in stock (OK I can read but that was not what I was asking - I was treated as if me asking that was a dumb question). I then ordered the avocado toast two Johny 5s and a Cashew Milk. Um, guess what - they were out of the Johnny 5 and avocado toast. I guess my dumb question was not so dumb. The person could have been more gracious when I asked, but they weren't. They did profusely apologize. And after their original errant response, they offered an excuse as to why their board was not up to date (haha) So be it. Such is life. Back to the juice. I ended up getting three. I have to say if all the juices were as good as Mermaid and always $5 (or even up to $7), I would give 5 stars. However, the CashewMilk was fair about 4 out of 5 (and I am rounding up since I am not a fan of nut milks but wanted to try it). The Yoda or Yoga juice tasted like what the owners might call flavored water. It was lackluster and really did taste like half juice added to half water. The highlight of the experience was the mermaid juice - it is excellent and the half off price point is so very great. For that juice alone rounds up their score from 1 to 3. Cute location. And again, this was not fresh pressed but recently pressed. And for the record, I used to work my own all natural farm, I have done my own fresh pressed juices, and I also worked with a quaker family in Michigan in a community justice oriented CSA (Sandhill CSA), so I know the difficulty and challenges of the food system we live within. They are doing a fair job. Could be better taste wise, service wise, and logistically. One of the pros (in my opinion) of fresh juice is getting to see, smell, and hear it being juiced. This feels like a stripped down experience - and for that I could just get pre-made juice for much, much less.To the owners: feel free to attack me for my perspective and opinion and put me down. Or instead embrace it. Maybe if you did that, you might figure out how to get closer to 5 stars across the board.

Loved their broth, and a number of their juices. Specifically the all greens one. Staff was great and efficient - great experience! Easily one of the best.

I just went in and got the avocado toast, mermaid juice and immunity shot. The avo toast was genuinely the best one i’ve ever had. I also love the atmosphere and the service is amazing!!

Great gem of a find!! Was looking for a smoothie and everything around looked basic and low quality. So happy this place exists. We got the mint smoothie, avocado toast and bagel sandwich but asked for it on gluten free bread. All items were AMAZING. The gf bread is excellent. I even went and found the bakery they get it from nearby and bought some. Traveling in Santa Barbra from OC and will be eating this everyday hands down.

Yoda juice is a must! No fruit. Perfect for those avoiding carbs and sugar once in a while! Le French crackers also good! NO sugar added! And RAW! stop by! Small shop but yum juices, smoothies, snacks. Great service! Hard to spot from the street - right next to cute thrift store.

This is such a cute shop off of Parker Way! I usually start here first and then walk State with my Scotty Mint Chip smoothie (it's so great)! Recently tried their avocado toast which I thought was very flavorful. The only thing that is hit or miss for me is the attitude of the employees. Some are super nice or are just annoyed that you are there. I wanted to buy some juice for the work week and I called prior to making the drive. I got there 5 minutes before closing and they locked the door on me! I drove from Ventura so I wasn't very happy. Other than that (hopefully) isolated incident, this is an awesome small local spot with a unique product. I always try to fit in a Juice Ranch visit while in SB :)

I had the mint chip smoothie and it was totally delicious. The staff were friendly and the menu had a great range of smoothies and juices. Definitely will be back.Highly recommend for a healthy, delicious pit stop.

Terrible service! I spend over a $100 per week buying juices here and am perplexed by the manager who makes rude personal comments and lectures me when I attempt to return the empty glass juice bottles so they can be recycled & used again. Bizarre behavior to say the least- I'll find another juice store to give my business to. If I could give zero stars to this review, I would.

My niece was mistreated by the manager that worked today, when she came in to get her refund for her empty bottle.This is unacceptable behavior!!!!

Ava R.

Horrible horrible horrible service. The manager was so rude. I have spent over $500 in green juices here for my daughter and I will never come here again. It is overpriced, and the business is terribly ran. Save your money and don't come here.
