I expect a lot more for a $14 smoothie. I worked at clean juice in college and loved their smoothies and keep coming back now because of quality ingredients and good flavors.
However the service at this location was very disappointing. When I got there, there was only one person working, and I only ordered one smoothie. She proceeded to make this smoothie but then forgot to put ingredients in and proceeded adding and reblending and adding and reblending. While the smoothie was blending she left and went in the back for about five minutes and came back and threw the smoothie she had just made in the sink and started over. She didn’t speak to me the entire time and five minutes later made me a new smoothie. No other customers came in at this time and I was the only one there from the beginning. I would expect more communication if she had messed up or needed to fix the mistake but instead she just ignored me. I understand if she is new and needs more training, but as I was the only one there it should not take almost 20 minutes for me to get a smoothie. Especially when the smoothie is costing me $14. When I worked at Clean Juice in college, we made sure to have timely and quality service. At this location, I don’t feel that is demonstrated very well.

If you’re looking for a welcoming environment I don’t recommend coming while the light skin young woman is working. My family and I came in to grab some waters and the young woman literally did not say a word to us through the ENTIRE transaction. Even when her coworker came to help her with something the coworker said nothing to us. She then dropped the receipt and didn’t pick it up to hand back to my father. My father didn’t even know there was one there because she again did not open her mouth to speak. She was on her phone when we came in and was right back on her phone after checking us out.
This was my first and probably last time going if that is the atmosphere. This was at 5:20 on 7/6/25

It’s unfortunate that I’m writing this review because this has been my favorite clean juice location for a while. Yesterday I placed an order for delivery. I ordered an almond butter toast and a chicken/cheese wrap, both made gluten free. When I received the order there were no bananas on the toast and the gluten free bread was extremely hard but since I ordered delivery I thought maybe it was just because it had sat. I went back today to get a smoothie. The girl at the register wasn’t very pleasant at all which is a first as well for me at this location. I ordered a fig and fire on gluten free bread as well. The smoothie was great, one of the new ones. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the food again. The ricotta tasted like it was bad - extremely sour and there was so much of it, that’s all I could taste. The fig jam was not put on the bread there was only a very small amount on the ricotta. The mozzarella was also hard… so I’m extremely disappointed in these last two experiences. I know mistakes happen and bad days but I’m not sure how often I’ll be visiting this location anymore.

Taylor, the manager, was such a sweet sweet person to have taking my order as my first time being here. She was knowledgeable and was able to give great suggestions. I ended up getting 3 juices and signed up on the app! Also Sanyia was such a great help holding down the back of house!

Taylor Ashley was a great employee. She helped me out with everything and had good energy with a smile on her face.

This was my second time at clean juice in south end, and I’m sure I won’t be returning. I paid almost $15 for a cup of ice and foam. My drink was gone before I reached the stop sign on the way home. The first time I paid for no ice and they gave me ice anyway. It’s just not worth it.

Uh....as their sign says, their juices are flowing
Ordered CYO juice with juice to the top and asked for it to be strained. This is the second time I’ve ordered a juice and it was not the amount I ordered. Instead of having the full 24 ounces of juice that I paid extra for, it’s a thick layer of foam on top. When I brought this to the employee’s attention, she didn’t seem to care and just told me that the juicer creates foam; however, I didn’t pay for foam. I paid for juice and that’s why I asked for it to be stained to begin with. It was obvious she didn’t want to be bothered and there was no manager around from what I could see for me to talk to. I love Clean Juice and have been a customer for a while, but my experiences lately have left me disappointed and now I don’t believe I’ll be back. I have no problem paying for quality but almost $20 for a juice just to get cheated in the amount of actual juice, isn’t worth it.

Clean Juice is hands-down one of the best spots for healthy, fresh, and organic options. Their menu is packed with so many amazing choices, from cold-pressed juices to acai bowls and protein smoothies.
I tried their “The Hardcore One” juice and the “Nutty Bowl,” and both were absolutely incredible—bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients.
If you’re looking for a place to fuel your body with something clean and nourishing, Clean Juice is a must-visit. I can’t recommend it enough! This place is a gem in Charlotte, and I’ll definitely be back.

I usually always get “The Protection One”. It should consist of spinach, pineapple, and cucumbers. Unfortunately, lately, it seems like 90% of it is cucumbers. $12 for that feels a bit too expensive.
