ATHLEISURE MAG #86 FEB ISSUE | ATHLEISURE LIST The Juicy Lounge

When this juicery's partner always wanted to open a lounge and the other wanted a juice bar, The Juicy Lounge was born! The fact that in addition to juices, they wanted to have pastries, espresso and more - the name was perfect. They also want to be able to change the Juice and Smoothies concept.

This partnership wants to bring something different and healthy to the neighborhood. Its a new, unique concept that's been well-received by the community.

The space was designed by Peter Sibilia who curated a mid-century Italian meets modern aesthetic, with a seafoam green candy-striped floor that allows the millennial pink paneled half wall to pop. Above the paneling is hyper modern pink, gold, and white wallpaper of circles and their cut outs on one side, a white-washed brick wall with shelfing displaying pink books and rotary phone among other design elements on the opposite wall above the iconic Salvador Dali Mae West Lips Sofa. The juice bar itself is lined with hanging baskets, each with a different color fruit, adding a line of tropical tones to the space, accentuated by top-of-the-line juicing machines.

Three slow pressed juices that we suggest trying include: The Fennel Twist, made with fennel, celery, ginger, lemon, and apple; the Sweetox, with kale lemon, kiwi, ginger, orange, and apple; and Can't Beet It, with beets, carrots, cucumber, lemon, and apple.

Three juice shots that we enjoy are Top-G, with ginger, lemon, honey, and apple; the Wheat Baby, with wheatgrass, pineapple, and orange, and also the T-Shot, with turmeric, lemon, honey, and apple.

For your smoothies, this week, we suggest Sunny Tropical, orange, peach, carrot, and yogurt; Green Dream, mango with spinach, banana, and lemon; and Berry Banana, raspberries, strawberries, banana, chia seeds, and almond milk.

When you want to grab a bite, they offfer two açaí bowls for guests: The Juicy Lounge, açai with strawberries, blueberries, banana, coconut flakes, and granola; and Hollywood, açaí, mango, pineapple, banana, coconut flakes, and granola.

The açaí bowls, juices, and smoothie selections will be updated and vary based on seasonal produce and availability.
