In a suburb surrounded by the smell of coffee, cute cafes and a vibrant environment, it was a perfect opportunity to open the new trending cold pressed juice store.  Decked and delicately polished, the store is the largest yet and is very much 

exquisite itself; already, it certainly has the crowd's eyes. The interior is warming, almost as organic as the juices with their wooden tables, hanging lightbulbs, feature wall filled with crates and apples, pots and picture frames and with the tremendous supply of open space, it's almost like browsing an art gallery, except, you're here to admire the juice and design not Picasso's paintings. 

Beneficially, it invites both the young and old to strengthen their health by self choosing organic products. No pressure here with the green because they supply so many other choices that are just as great.  

Their juice are cold pressed and bottled right there and then every morning and while the attention is brought by their immense range of many colours, the juices themselves are 100% raw with no added additives or preservatives. And hey, while there are times where things smell great but tasting it becomes another story, Pressed Juice caught me by surprise because while the juice smell superb, it tastes as great as it smells and if that doesn't sound promising yet, I don't know what else to say. My friend and I dropped by after school and after a while of browsing, we settled on the Smooth Nourish Smoothie and Berry Glow 2. I wouldn't say spending $9.50 on a bottle is worthwhile for an everyday routine, but once in a while, it does no harm. After all, the juices are healthy anyway, and they do please the tastebuds.

Like their blackboard says, don't judge a juice by its colour, although I will admit the colour influences how appealing it is  and well the ones I tried were partially colour coordinated for photos but shh they don't have to know that. Nonetheless, both were divine. 

Left: Smooth Nourish Smoothie, Right: Berry Glow 2 ($9.50)

Smooth Nourish: Acai, Almonds, Almond Meal, Blackberry, Cinnamon, Dates, Filtered Water, Sea Salt and Vanilla Bean. The smoothie was Almond dominated at tongue but the after taste was aromatic with cinnamon. Almost similar to almond milk blended with berries but less so, the berries. 

Berry Glow 2: Apple, Coconut, Strawberry. Light and sweet, strong with the strawberry and apple but a classic mix. If you're going for something chilled and less filling, would recommend this, especially for a hot day. 

Seriously can't wait to try the other flavours!
