I only patronize Jugo Juice very sporadically. While they have a plethora of unique smoothies on their permanent menu (all loaded with luscious antioxidants), and those smoothies are usually pretty tasty, I’ve always disliked their weak construction. What I mean by that is how quickly the smoothies tend to separate. If you don’t drink your smoothie within 5 minutes, it starts to look rather unappealing. To get around this problem, at Jugo Juice, I tend to stick with “snack size” smoothies. They’re a little small, to be sure, but at least you don’t have to worry about that smoothie separation dance. This long-standing criticism notwithstanding, Jugo Juice will –at times – offer up seasonal smoothies that’ll catch my eye. That’s exactly what happened as my partner and I ambled down “Rodeo Drive North,” to quote Renegade225. We were walking down Robson – heading towards Ramen Danbo – when I spied Jugo Juice’s new holiday feature, the “Lavender Smoothie Float.” It certainly looked and sounded appealing on the propaganda sign; thus, we made it a point to circle back after enjoying our ramen and doing a bit of book browsing at nearby Indigo. The unit at 1103 Robson is small. There’s probably space for 3 patrons inside the actual “store.” Thus, I’d characterize this Jugo Juice as basically a stand-alone takeout kiosk with a tiny outdoor seating area that I imagine isn’t used very frequently. If you’re just browsing the various shops on Robson, though, it’s fine for what it is. In any event, we ordered the holiday feature, paired with a snowflake cookie, for just $9.95 plus tax. I assume the smoothie only came in one size because we weren’t given any options. Nevertheless, I’ll be the first to admit I was impressed by this Jugo Juice: First, the smoothie actually resembled the one on the propaganda poster; second, it tasted great – the blueberries were very evident, there was a subtle hint of banana, and the lavender flavour shone through but didn’t overpower the other ingredients; lastly, the smoothie DIDN’T separate after the usual 5 minutes! What the heck? That was probably the biggest surprise of all. In short, this was a delightfully refreshing treat on a chilly December afternoon. FOOD: 4/5 SERVICE: 4/5 VALUE: 4/5 RECOMMENDATION: I don’t want to go over-the-top in my praise of Jugo Juice because this was a one-off, “limited time,” smoothie. However, I will say it was very well done. The flavours all jived and, best off all, it didn’t separate into an unattractive mess. Recommended!

Girl was working in morning today at 10:20 was very rude with me. She dont know how to work with proper hygiene. She needs to learn how to behave in work environment to keep store ongoing.

Mango smoothie was tasty

I thought it had really great taste! We order all the regular smoothies and thought they were worth the price and wait :)

Quick service and the smoothies are ok.

Smoothies made of cheepest frozen fruit. No taste or flavor. As healthy as a sour apple!

Those straws melt half way through the drink...may be i suck too hard? (That didn't come out right)

Says it opens at 8. Here at 8:45am and it’s not open.

A bit pricey but smoothies taste like heaven.

Went there on March 3, 2020 at 3pm. As I entered, the male staff on the counter was on his phone talking to someone. As I approached him, he told the person he was talking to, to hold. I ordered, payed, and he prepared my food. As I was waiting, he went back to chatting on the phone. I'm guessing that the manager wasn't there, so he knew he go ahead and use his phone. Very unprofessional. Please re-train him.
