The atmosphere was friendly, with beautiful music, great sunlight, lovely art, and lots of plants. There was plenty of parking next to the Dollar Tree on Mt. Hope Avenue.

The juice was fantastic and I enjoyed every aspect of the restaurant- Gre was very friendly, as were the other customers there. The atmosphere was great with nice music, a pleasant smell, good sunlight, beautiful artwork, and lots of plants. I wasn't sure where to park at first, but there was plenty of space on the side of the building next to the Dollar Tree parking lot, since they are located right beside the Dollar Tree on Mt. Hope Avenue. This is a fantastic healthy option in the College Town area that offers more than just juice!

I chose the Tatu Berry Spice smoothie and also opted for the Banana-Choco-Nut milkshake. While both were a bit pricier than what I usually spend on a smoothie at $8.50 each, they were delicious, and I appreciated that they were both healthy, sugar-free, and adaptogenic. It’s clear that Gre takes great care in crafting the recipes and selecting quality ingredients! They were also more substantial than your typical beverage. I’m not sure I would specifically seek it out again due to its location and hours, but if I happen to be nearby when it’s open, I would definitely stop in. I hope that people around College Town give it a try, and I’m excited to see what else Gre has in store for the future!

They are packed with taste! If you ask Gre about the chakras, you’ll discover that each flavor and combination carries a special meaning, which I find both fun and interesting. The place also has plenty of tables and chairs, making it a great spot to hang out, read, or get some work done.

I wasn't aware of many cafes or juice bars in Rochester, but now I've discovered this one, and it's fantastic. The owner is incredibly passionate about what he does, which is always inspiring and something you can learn from. I ordered a juice, and I thought it was excellent—definitely strong, so you need to be accustomed to drinks like kombucha to fully appreciate it. My boyfriend tried the banana and peanut butter smoothie, which I found surprisingly tasty, even though I'm not a fan of bananas or smoothies! When you visit, take the time to chat with the owner and ask him about how he creates his drinks; he ensures they align with the energy and shock in your body.
