"Came home from my tennis lesson and wanted some fresh juice. I usually go to this spot in Inglewood or drive over to Simply Wholesome in Windsor Hills. I have a cold press juicer at home, but I didn 't have anything in the frig to juice. Went on Yelp and put in fresh juice near me. JUICEBAE came up and it was .3 miles away. I hadn 't heard of them before. It was so close, I had to go and check this place out.My GPS took me to an area I call, Downtown Westchester! I found parking across the street. In my nineteen years of living in Westchester, I 've been on on 87th Street many times for the farmer 's market, the old First Friday Food Trucks, and to eat at various restaurants. JUICEBAE was obviously a new restaurant.I walked in and was greeted by a young lady (Raquel). I told her I 'd never been there and I wanted some juice. She explained that they were a Vegan restaurant that was partly Grab Go with fresh daily juices and food items in a refrigerator section. They also make food to go and for consumption in their dining area. I 'd been trying to eat more Plant Based food and was intrigued by the options of food and juices in the refrigerator section. I chose a Mango Passion Fruit juice. I was kinda hungry so I decided to order The BEST Sandwich! It didn 't take that long for my sandwich be prepared. It came with seasoned lightly fried fruit that was like a Banana or Plantain. It SMELLED go good, I couldn 't resist having a LITTLE taste. I got into my car, cleaned my hands. I first took a taste of one of the slices of fruit. DELICIOUS! The seasoning on it was (as my 21 year old son says) FIRE! So good! I then took a bite into one half of The BEST Sandwich! WOW! The rosemary in the toasted smelt bread was prominent, but not over bearing. The grilled veggies (squash, zucchini, portobello mushrooms), caramelized onions, sundried tomato spread, and hummus between this bread is simple, yet GENIUS! So much FLAVOR. As I sat in my car, I kept eating the half of sandwich alternating bites with the fried banana fruit. The flavors of the two dishes were so good together. As I drove off, I finished the sandwich half and a lot of the fruit. Driving home (remember I live .3 miles away) I couldn 't wait to eat the rest. I really wasn 't that hungry but I parked in my driveway and FINISHED the rest of the meal. Thoroughly Satisfied! I also had half of the tasty Mango Passionfruit Juice. The week after Thanksgiving, I wanted some juice and something to snack on while I ran some errands. I went back to JUICEBAE! I grabbed another Mango Passionfruit Juice and something called Snack Quartet in a container with four separate section containing: Fresh Blueberries, Fresh Trail Mix, Hummus Dip, and seasoned Teff Chips (similarly seasoned with what was on those banana fruit). I also got a container of their Chick Pea Chowder and some Apple Strawberry Ginger juice.I went home to drop off the juices and chowder and snacked on the Snack Quartet as I drove around. First, I alternated eating the blueberries and trail mix. You can tell that the trail mix was FRESH! It had walnuts, coconut, and dried fruit. The combo of these two were satisfying and portions were just enough to get me through the first leg of my errands. I saved the best two for last. I have never had Teff Chips before. Paired with that creamy hummus. So Good! What are Teff Chips? The chips were seasoned with a similar seasoning from those fried bananas. They were more like a cracker. I want a bag/box of these chips/crackers. Later that evening, I warmed up half of the Chick Pea Chowder! All I can say is DAMN! It was the consistency of a normal New England Clam Chowder. The flavor was so good. I 'd never had soup with Chick Peas. The next day, I had the reminder of the chowder with some brown rice. WOW! I can really maintain and do a Vegan/Plant Based healthy lifestyle with a restaurant like JUICEBAE"
