FAQ

Are your products 100% organic?
Yes. No round about answer here, folks. Yup!

Where are your juices made?
On site at our little shop.

Are you Gluten-Free and soy-free?
Yes. We do not use products like nama shoyu, soy lecithin, or conventional miso. However, some items like our gluten/soy-free azuki miso and oat flowers have been processed in facilities with wheat or soy products, so cross contamination is always a possibility.

Are you 100% vegan?
With the exception of honey and bee pollen (in two shakes which you can substitute), we are 100% vegan.

I have a nut allergy. Are your products safe for me?
Raw, vegan foods tend to be very nut heavy, so unfortunately we advise those with nut allergies against consuming our products. The high prevalence of nuts in our facility and equipment means the possibility of cross contamination is high, even for juices and fruit shakes.

Why do your juices cost 7-10 dollars?
Straight Talk: It’s very expensive to make them. There are many categories of juice, and we want to give you the best (100% organic, cold pressed, nutritionally dense concoctions made of 3 lbs of produce served in eco-friendly packaging!). You’ll find that our prices are comparable to other juices of the same quality.

Also, our shakes have no ice, fillers, and are made with top-tier ingredients like Exotic Superfoods coconut meat (the only way to get truly organic young thai coconut meat…the white ones you see in the grocery store & juice bars are not organic) and raw almonds. We do most of the labor ourselves to keep the prices as low as possible and are constantly looking for ways to make our products accessible to the wider public. Please feel free to ask questions on pricing and such, as every price has a reason and we’re happy to explain!

Are you 100% raw?
Like many raw establishments, we use some ingredients (like nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and balsamic vinegar) that are not 100% raw. However most of our providers are raw food specialists who take extensive precautions to ensure that their products are raw, organic, and non-GMO. Please ask if you have specific concerns.

Who did your shop design?
We did! Most of the labor was done ourselves in conjunction with our friend Nina, a talented artist and construction genius. She’s amazing!

Are you medical professionals?
NO. We are not qualified to treat medical ailments or give out formal diagnoses. Although we know our stuff and are happy to guide you through our products and their benefits, PLEASE consult your healthcare professional before going on cleanses or consuming unfamiliar supplements. We’re all different (some people feel ill after consuming wheatgrass, some supplements such as alcohol-based tinctures can be a bit much for overtaxed livers) and some of our products are very potent, especially if you are pregnant or nursing.
