Juice Portal - San Francisco

I went to this restaurant for a quick snack. The toast with vegan cream cheese and fresh vegetables was delightful and had great flavor. I really enjoyed my experience and the atmosphere at this place was very pleasant.

The smoothies at Juice Portal are delicious, but unfortunately the wait staff were not very friendly. Maybe our server was tired, at the end of her shift, or having a bad day. But a positive attitude can make a big difference, because despite the tasty smoothies, my lasting memory of Juice Portal is the mediocre service.

Today we dined at this restaurant and discovered a large maggot in one of our dishes. When we informed the two staff members working, they barely acknowledged the issue. We requested that they investigate if there was a maggot infestation, but they claimed there was not. One of them offered us a complimentary juice from the refrigerator as compensation for finding the maggot. We declined the offer, but perhaps we should have asked for a refund instead. In any case, it is advisable to thoroughly inspect your food before consuming it.

I've been here a few times and always like to try something different. So far, everything I've tried has tasted really good! I like that it's not too sweet or too runny like some other places. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. They have a single stall bathroom for customers and it's kept clean as well. Recently I came in for one of their immunity boosters and the goji tropical smoothie. I liked both because they had ginger in them, but it wasn't overpowering. I'm also a big fan of dates and a few of their smoothies have Medjool dates in them, so I was definitely excited to try one of those. Last time I was there I got the blue majik, and so far it's my favorite. I will definitely be back to try the other smoothies they offer.

The sunrise toast literally opened my third eye ? and the brain booster smoothie is immaculate ?? a new fave for healthy/vegan options that don’t taste like cardboard:
