"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"

"As for the service, it was exceptional. The staff was friendly, patient, and very helpful. As an introvert, I was initially hesitant when I walked in and found there was no clear counter or menu displayed. I wasn’t sure if I would even stay to place an order, but they encouraged me to take my time with the menu and patiently answered all my questions. Now onto the food: I thoroughly enjoyed the waffle combo with fruit and turkey sausage. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was, especially as I had ordered it to go. I also tried the Chai Latte; while I'm sure it was prepared authentically, I’m accustomed to the offerings from major chains, so it took me a moment to adjust. Once I got used to the flavor, it turned out to be quite enjoyable."

"Some of these low reviews crack me up lol but maybe they improved because I had a GREAT experience. I am so glad I went. My cousin from Canada will call me up when she is in LA and we get to experience a local (black owned soul food if we can) cuisine together. This time it was flavor table and the food was solid! We were attended to right away and when seated our waiter Willie had all the energy and got our drinks right away. We ordered our food and it didn't take too long but everything was piping hot, I love this. I would prefer fresh hot food vs warm food because I'll just send it back to get heated up. I ordered the wings combo and the peace cobbler French toast. Fire! The wing (asked for them to be fried hard) came out perfect and delicious. Wings were juicy. The peach cobbler sauce was perfect not too sweet and just right to pour over the French toast. I love that it comes in a bowl so I am in control of how I want to dress up my French toast. This is a solid establishment and all the waiters paid attention but wasn't in my face every second which was great. Oh yeah they forgot our waters and Willie was occupied so the gentleman that seated us was right there so I asked him for our water and he was super apologetic and got us 3 waters right away. Lovely service/staff and nice atmosphere. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3"

"Overall, I was disappointed with my visit. The drink I ordered tasted more like water than juice, which was not what I expected. Additionally, the staff didn’t seem very welcoming—there were no smiles or friendly gestures. These small things really affect the customer experience. I hope the quality and service can be improved in the future. Price per person: $1–10 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1"

"Consistently delicious high quality food with good prices and large portions. I like the goat the most, lamb #2, but I've tried all the lunch/dinner options and they're all excellent. All dinner/lunch options have the same sides. The only difference is price and protein. The proteins have consistently been tender and well spiced. I'm used to spicy food, so this doesn't bother me at all, but those averse to even low level of spiciness may find it spicy or may want to ask to tone down the scoville level. It comes w/ fluffy basmati rice, salad, yummy spicy green sauce (basbaas? , banana, bottle of water, a delicious spiced tea (closest thing I've had to it is Ethiopian spiced tea or some Indian chai but without the milk , and awesome soup. The soup is light brothy, but deeply flavored. That soup in many other restaurants would easily be the signature dish and worth spending extra on. If I have any complaint about the place is that sometimes they run out of that awesome soup and to a lesser extent, the delicious tea, especially towards the end of the day. The portion size is enough to split into 2 comfortable sized meals or if you're extra hungry, it will definitely satiate most appetite levels. The service has always been friendly, nice, and helpful. The decor/atmosphere is definitely not fancy. It's very casual, and before covid restrictions, was like a bit of a community gathering spot. Diverse groups of people would come here. Added bonus is that it's halal (Somalia is predominantly Muslim after all . If you go during the Ramadan, hours may differ, so check ahead if during that time of year."
