Goodsugar

I abide by a mostly vegan/gluten free/refined sugar free lifestyle, and I am delighted to have goodsugar near my office for breakfast and mid-day snacks. So far I’ve indulged (guilt free, of course) in the following amazing items: coffee parfait, berry beauty parfait, matcha parfait, overnight oats (oatmeal), and the pecan bar. I love the parfaits, thought everything has been solid—with ingredients I can *trust*. And, I love the fun little sticker “fortunes” on the glass jars. A beautiful concept inside and out! Can’t wait to try the buffalo cauliflower soon.

I am so impressed by this place. I love their brand positioning for one and that they spread awareness and educate about food health on their packaging. ❤️ 2) I love their juices in a jar - so refreshing. And 3) their food! I loved the crispy cauliflower and the vegan chipotle sauce and it went well with the kale salad which I had as a starter. Thank you goodsugar! Keep doing what you’re doing.

Refined sugar free and vegan plus tasty and healthy all in one place! I had no idea this cafe is run by the owner of Pressed Juice who only produces good and healthy food. There's a wide variety of cold and hot drinks mixed with super food ingredients. For food, we liked the veggie stack which is like a carb free lasagna and totally amazing just the portion is a bit small if one is hungry. Loved the no use of plastic at this location including the drinks containers which are all glasses.

I love healthy lifestyle and I’m literally obsessed with this place because they sell no refined sugar pastries(all of them), absolutely it’s taste good. Almost try everything my favorite is pecan bliss and keto bar. But also wraps and juices are good to get fast breakfast. Aww also acai is insanely good. HIGHLY SUGGESTED!!

First time to here! The staff are so friendly and raconteurs. I order dragonade and crispy cauliflower wings. They are so delicious and truly exceeds my expectations. I love them! I must come to try other things next time!🥹🥹🥹

I've been a dozen times now, consistently amazing!!!!!! Lovveeeeeee the acai bowl and the toppings, best lattes, love love love the pizza tart thingies (that cashew cream is so freaking GOOD!!) Love the smoothies, love the marinated kale, love the Caesar. Cauliflower poppers are a decent snack, second tier choice but still good! Looking forward to trying even more things!

The coolest juice bar ever! I love that they sustainably package everything in glass jars or compostable packaging. Bring your jars back and get a discount for returning them. The coffee and matcha are excellent mid-day pick me ups. The burrito is so good and filling. Their banana bread is the best I've ever had! I also love the berry muffin and chocolate protein bliss bar. The ingredients are simple in their baked goods so I feel good about enjoying them. Everything is vegan too!

Purchased a muffin and a rose lemonade. While sitting in my car, two bites into my muffin I tasted hair in my mouth. Upon further inspection, THERE WAS AN ENTIRE GLOB OF HAIR IN THE MUFFIN COOKED IN. I ran back into the store to show the clerks. When I did, the guy who rang me up asked me if I did that??? I literally was so disgusted I just walked out. I didn’t bother asking for another one or my money back. I’m sooooo disgusted.

I stopped at Goodsugar because it showed up as an all-vegan spot on the Happy Cow app, and I was impressed with the food and their eco-friendly packaging. They have this chocolatey bar, I think it's the Keto Energy Bar, that is so delicious and I feel healthy/energized after, it tastes fresh baked and not too sweet, but it also tastes like a treat, not a "health" snack. I'm looking forward to eating those on my next NYC trip, and hopefully getting my kid to eat them too. The staff is friendly. I once ordered the last of a parfait that was frozen and meant to be eaten at home and they gave me a bowl of hot water to thaw it in so I could eat it there. I keep expecting there to be more locations, I'm so used to new venture capital funded places where you've never heard of it and the next day there are like 20 locations. I guess this is the only one. I hope it sticks around.

This place is heaven on earth! Quality ingredients and everything is delish. The workers are also the sweetest people ever. Cool spot to grab a quick bite and take to Central Park!

Such a great place! I've tried a few of their juices, their chia seed is great, the banana loaf as well is delicious. The staff is always friendly, and super chill. The location is bright and extremely clean, even the return jar bin lol. Was there this morning for a banana loaf and it was as good as the first time I got it. Also, if you sign up for their rewards (it's free) you get back .50 cents per jar which goes as a credit to your account.

Love the mission and the vibe of goodsugar! From the reusable mason jars to the biodegradable straws, fun napkins, homemade almond milk, and the complete lack of plastic, it's clear that the founder cares about good food and sustainability. I love that everything is completely vegan with no additional refined sugar. I think the sweetness level in their juices and smoothies is perfect and really allows the flavors of the fruits and veggies to shine through. My favorite drinks are the blue skies smoothie and the 18 greens smoothie with a banana added. The kale salad is amazing too! It's perfectly marinated and the goji berries add a nice crunch. Definitely my go-to for health smoothies and quick, delicious vegan food!

Ordered: Blue Skies Smoothie (~$11): almond butter, vanilla, banana, pea protein, blue spirulina, hemp seeds, cinnamon, maple, homemade almond milk Aya's take: I've driven past goodsugar a couple times and the vibrant colors really caught my attention. I was in the area again and decided to actually give it a try. For what you're getting - a tasty smoothie filled with nutrients and is nonpasteurized - it's a pretty good price point. You also get to keep the mason jar and can bring it back for discounts on your next drink. The Blue Skies had a great blend of flavors with none overpowering the other. It was surprisingly very filling too. I would probably try one of their juices if I come back. Good try!

Interesting place and a great find in the neighborhood. They definitely care about health and environment. Some great desserts options and detox juices. They use healthier replacements to sugar and that cuts the guilt of indulgence. I loved the zucchini muffin and couldn't make out that it was made with sugar substitute. I wanted to get coffee but they only carry almond milk and that was a bummer coz it's my least favorite. I wish they could carry other options as well. I will definitely return to try more stuff.

I chanced across goodsugar during their opening days during my walk back from work, and being a sucker for overpriced smoothies in the city (a la juice press), of course I had to step in. I ordered the blue skies smoothie, which was made to order and given to me in a cute mason jar and a biodegradable boba-type straw. My smoothie was thick and creamy and delicious, without any actual dairy. Took it to Central Park to enjoy. Overall, really like the concept of this store. It feels very clean and organic inside, wish they had some more nutritional information about their menu items. The jars are nice, and if you bring them back (you don't even have to buy something the second time), you get some sort of credit/reward system that builds up. Looking forward to trying more smoothies or green juices post workout class! It's definitely overpriced but what do you expect.

Goodsugar has opened their first cafe on Third Avenue and 69th Street in Manhattan. I can't wait to return. I had already eaten and my iPhone battery was getting low so I can't wait to take photos. If you check out their website you can learn about their environmental and nutritional benefits. I really appreciate their philosophy when everyone is always pushing me to eat so much protein! I love the wall Decor and the place is comfortable if you arrive early. I felt like I was back in Berkeley California during my hippie days! Please visit and write your reviews! I just now added goodsugar to Yelp. I think you're going to like this place. Unless you're a carnivore!

Goodsugar is a fun new vegan edition to the UES neighborhood! It is a juice + smoothie + salad shop also with yummy vegan baked goods! I tried the vegan banana bread ($5) made with fairly simple ingredients (almond flour, maple syrup, buckwheat flour, bananas of course) and it was AMAZING!! I am an absolute banana bread lover, and have tried several vegan banana breads, and this is definitely up there. I would love to try their other baked goods as well- I saw muffins and cookies. :) I also got the vegan caesar salad with roasted chickpeas ($12)- this was ok. I think it could have used a bit more pizzazz such as avocado, maybe mushroom "bacon", tomatoes. The herb seasoning was a bit too strong. But it was still yummy and a nice generous portion. I added a few more add ins at home to boost up the salad. Some other menu items I saw included a vegan burrito. Didn't try any of the juices- it is pretty standard market market price of $9-$10. Smaller "booster" shots (e.g. turmeric shots) are ~$4-5 I think. I don't think cold press juices are a new concept, but they do come in mason jars and it says if you bring back the jar you get a credit. The vibe of the store is really cool- not sure how to describe it. Graphics and colors are bold, with a lot of "pro-plant-based" messaging. Not much seating- it is meant to be a grab & go place probably. Overall, I would go back for sure for the vegan treats.

Food is amazing Service is friendly, fast and knowledgeable staff. The ambiance is a VIBE! Super cool and refreshing, I truly appreciate the consciousness they put into their products from presenting informing customers, packaging and taste! (And the merch) My favorite food items are the Banana bread and cauliflower bites and to drink the Blue Skies. Added bonus is they have a podcast and I would definitely recommend giving it a listen!

Goodsugar has been a godsend during my diet! Vegan gluten free and nonrefined sugar options what more could you ask for! I absolutely love their juices and honestly attribute not getting sick this winter to their immunity and antioxidant shots. If you have a sweet tooth I'd suggest trying their Chocolate is righteous bar and their two chocolate chip cookies. Also their banana bread is so amazing! It goes perfectly with morning coffee. I love goodsugar and highly recommend you try it out.

I would like to eat this every single day of my life I'm sad I live in LA I will be back for sure next time I'm in NY!

Amazing food/smoothies with clean ingredients. Cute place to sit for a bit and great staff. It's hard to find a good place in NY but this is an easy win. I'm definitely coming back next time I visit

The concept is absolutely amazing. They use no plastic, everything is recyclable. Juices and smoothies come in glass mason jar that you can reuse. The watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew juices are literally out of this world. The burrito was also absolutely amazing. I hope this place stays!!!!! Amazing amazing lovely employees and the overall atmosphere is just super chill casual and so welcoming.

Food was delicious and I really appreciate the mission. They are low waste and serve super healthy food - can't get better than that. Service was a little odd but not necessarily unpleasant. I would only say that the music was loud enough to make eating inside kind of sucky.

place felt very welcoming and pleasant. i loved the creative visuals and art all around the cafe, especially the photos on the website and everything was appealing and eye catching. came here with my friend for a nice food date, i got the chocolate phase which was amazing. you can get a choice of three toppings (i got raspberries, chocolate granola, & almond butter) for $12. on the right my friend got the downtown burrito which was $9.50. everything on the menu is vegan, kosher, gluten free, and above all healthy! i love the positive advocations for plastic free and no added sugars. definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys eating healthy and supports a clean and sustainable environment. would most certainly come here again!

Updating my review: Naomi was very sweet and helpful. Other employee that made the smoothie too. They honored their word for a smoothie on the house despite the first experience. I appreciate it and will be back. Smoothie vanilla warfare was awesome too- thanks goodsugar team!

This place is so cute, I love the glass jars to prevent waste (and reuse at home) The service was very friendly. So many healthy quick juice options on ice m. The Chia Seed thingy is SO freaking delicious. I wish I lived in the neighborhood to try more things!

A great vegan place serving, salads, soups, burritos, and baked goods. Their fresh juices and shots are incredible. I'm also quite partial to their oatmeal and chia seed puddings. Two things that I love is that they use no processed sugar in anything, rather, relying on date sugar or honey. Second, they sell everything in reusable glass jars that can be returned for credit.

The lady behind the counter was incredibly rude. I told her I was allergic to gluten and soy and she told me everything here was gluten and soy free which was initially great. She then recommended I get the burrito which said it had a whole wheat wrap, so not a gluten free item. When I asked to confirm what was in fact gluten free she again told me everything was, refused to help answer questions about any of the ingredients and was overall mean and dismissive. What could have been a great place to pick up food ended up being a bad experience due to the lady behind the counter in a Mickey shirt with a blue jacket over it. The other lady working there seemed nice but too scared to speak over the mean lady. 0/10 would recommend for anyone with food allergies.

Delicious smoothie! Organic! And nice staff! I went back 2 days in a row for the blue smoothie

BEST BANANA BREAD AROUND! Everything here tastes pure, and made with care! Definitely a great spot to check out!

Heavenly oasis. Knowing this place was founded by the original Juice Press guy I had high expectations that this would be like the original Juice Press. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this is far beyond the quality and flavor of my old favorite. Try the marinated kale salad (the kale was perfectly tender and not veiny, they prepped it perfectly), the Egyptian lentil soup, and burrito! Omg can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

have been waiting somewhat patiently for Marcus to open this spott. Marcus is the founder of Juice Press (has not been involved with JP for several years now). I am so glad to have a place where I don't need to read labels or ask questions about the quality of my food again. It has been a while! This dude really cares about what you put in your body. The passion and the integrity around food you eat and the care he has for the planet is shown in every detail & ingredient in the store. Welcome (back) to the neighborhood Marcus!

Excellent. Had the chia pudding. Nice addition to the neighbor and really nice, helpful staff.

Places like this are why people think that vegan food tastes bad. Do not bring a vegan curious person here or they will get the wrong idea about vegans and vegan food. The Place is called "goodsugar" but it should be called "NoSugar". The smoothie they served me was very bland (it tasted like slightly flavored water). It probably would have tasted better with Almond milk (which was the only plant based milk that they had) but I have an allergy to almonds.. I asked them to remake it because it was hardly edible and they did. The server let me try it a second time before serving me and it was a huge improvement from the first one but it still was not worth the price. I can make a far better smoothie at home for a quarter of the price. So bottom line do not go here if you have an almond/ coconut intolerance because they use those things in pretty much all their food, the only way I would come back here is if they offered other plant milks with their smoothies. The pamphlet books on pigs are cute and a great message for the public (just not the actual food lol).

This place is insanely good and I am addicted to it. I am a juice person, I have tried almost all the juice shops in NYC, I can confidently say that this place has the best quality juices. Not only that, it is much much better than the next one on my list.You can taste that the juices are freshly and purely made from good quality greens and fruits, no water and any nonsense extras added. They are totally pure and nature. Besides that, their smoothies, soups, salads, pure foods, banana bread are all good, they are ranging from very good to truly amazing. I am so happy that I find this place and have been stopping by almost every day since then. You can see how much I love it.
