I have tried a couple at Waffle Champion, and met the owner there randomly. Outstanding product, very fresh and crisp. Owner was a young, enthusiastic guy, I thought he had a good plan. Try them, they're a bit pricey, but worth it on occasion. The lemonade with cayenne pepper was my favorite.

Yes the owners are great people!

Will have to try them out. I looked at their website & they have some interesting juices. I'm also digging the fact that it's organic. Always a plus in my book.

I was just here! It is a really cool/chic little space right next to the starbucks on western and avondale. I had the Green Giant smoothie which has kale, spinach, avacado, pineapple, mango, and apple juice. Don't be afraid to order the green stuff because the fruit overpowers the vegetable taste. It was amazing! I definitely recommend!

I've had the sunrise smoothie which was good and a couple of their bottled drinks. I like it but not as much as Jamba Juice which is not far from there and a bit cheaper.

Cmon man, support a local company!

This is good to know I've been on an all juice intake for the last 11 days..... I'm getting tired of all the flavor sat the juice bar by my house.

This.

Not comparing apples to apples, LOL. Most smoothies at Jamba Juice are not healthy, and comparing them to organic cold-pressed juice is not exactly same category or quality.

The owner was on Oklahoma Live on KSBI Monday (1/20). There's probably video of that episode out there...

They do smoothies also at this place

Looks like they are finally open in The Edge:

BTW, looks like they have a big salad bar and lots of healthy grab-and-go options.

The place is actually quite big and the patio should get a lot of use in warmer weather.

Activity on Walker from 10th-13th is getting good, can't wait for the new stuff to get done...

I went to the one at Nichols Hills. Wasn't a fan of the salt they add to every smoothie.

They had a soft opening before the holiday and the salad bar also had hot items including skirt steak, veggies, etc. They said they would expand and change what they offer based on response. Seems like it will be a good lunch option for people working nearby and a good option to grab something on the way to work for people living nearby. They also said they'll have a barista on staff (I'm unsure if this is different than the NH location).

I wonder if they plan to make any other additions to their menu in NHP. I've noticed that they have added some food, but not a lot. They seem to do a pretty good grab and go business, but the seating is basically a waiting area until your drink is done. I guess that Saturn, Cool Green and Provision Kitchen all already offer similar items so it may not be worth it.

A little gripe about their menu change:

I went to the Nichols Hills store for the first time in like a month and they've changed their menu where you can only order certain smoothie flavors in the bigger, more expensive cup. Like I traditional get the Spicy Thai smoothie in 12oz. but now it's only listed under the 16oz menu now, so I asked them to just make it in 12 oz. for me like they have all the previous times. Nope. Wouldn't do it. Forced me to either order a different flavor or pay more money.

Also they've jacked their smoothie prices up a dollar across the board I'm pretty sure. They're $6, $7, and $8 now if I remember right.

That new size/flavor pricing model just rubs me the wrong way. Hope other people complain too and it changes back to how it was.

That seems extremely close to the midtown location. I hope it does well.

Yeah, I could see one in Bricktown, but this seems too close to their other location. Isn't there kind of an industry rule about how generally close to build next to one of your own stores before you just cannibalize your business? But, I hope they succeed in both locations.

I've been to both stores, but to the Midtown location most recently. It's hard to tell how busy they are, because it seems like most of their business is pick up, but they've never been crowded. I guess with Lift and Metropolitan opening up they think that will be enough to support both.

I'm right there with ya. I loved the place and went often after they first opened, even though they were a little expensive. I went back to get on my health kick after a small hiatus from there and was shocked at the increased prices. To get me hooked at the beginning, the owner of the place made for me what was called a "rabbit hole" smoothie. When I went in recently I asked for the same and she looked at me like I was crazy and said they don't do specialty ones anymore and what you see on the menu is what you get. I think it's that, plus the way the lady told me the new "rules" rubbed me the wrong way.

Has anyone been to the Midtown location and tried the food there for lunch or dinner? Is it any good and is there a consistent menu for that?

"The quiet zone project is expected to be complete before the end of the year."

But for real this time?

Old man yelling at clouds here, but I wish they would go back to making the juice to order. I'm looking for a fresh GREEN juice, not one built on apple or even carrot. While I know Organic Squeeze juices daily, having it all pre-bottled is a turn off for me. Please bring back build your own! Is there any place that does this now besides Whole Foods?

I've picked up lunch twice and have enjoyed it. Both the hot and cold bar were tasty and seemed fresh. Since its only been twice I can't speak to consistency.

Uptown Grocery on May has a juice bar with a big menu, but I think you can also build your own.

I've only eaten there during the grand opening event (am in the picture in post #12 - feel free to play a quick game of "Where's Timshel") and the food was good. However, I go there at least once a week and it seems that, at least for the hot food items, they rotate the main dishes every week or two. For example, the first few times I went in there was skirt steak and various sides. The last two times I've been in there have been chicken fajitas. Everything I've tried has been good and would definitely recommend checking it out.

Just heard back: They are not going forward with their NW 8th Street (Auto Alley) location.

I just heard today that the one in the Edge is closing, and but something new will open from the same operators. Verbatim "starting from scratch with a new concept."

I kind of hope they come back with at least two separate concepts. One of the things that made the Organic Squeeze seem weird was how large it was. It could easily have fit the same concept into half the square footage and felt a lot friendlier and less empty.

^I agree. That space is way too big for one concept.

The developer encouraged Organic Squeeze to take that big space which in turn caused them to add things like food and coffee which were out of their wheelhouse.

I believe they will be going back to a more juice-oriented concept and focusing on their strengths.

They will be keeping the same amount of square footage though.

I went to Organic Squeeze in NHP this morning, and the manager there said they are working on their space at the Edge. She said once it's all said and done Organic Squeeze will take up about half the space they have now, not offer the coffee options they had and change the food options. I'm curious if the same owners will do something different with the remaining SF or if they will try and lease it out to another tenant.

The Organic Squeeze group will be doing the other half of the space as well, just under a different concept.

Organic Squeeze opened up their north Edmond location and it’s been doing pretty good. Very good premade food offerings and great smoothies. I am likely going to be regular here and will likely make it one of my cycling routes so I can hit this place up.
