Reviews for Mother’s Juice Cafe in Bend, OR
Meh. The remodel is very nicely done, although the service is something to be desired. I waited 15 minutes with no one in front... of me for a bagel and then when I got my bagel it was not right. It only took a couple minutes to add the correct ingredientsthe 2nd time. The other thing is they charged me an extra .65cents for the foil the bagel was wrapped in. I shouldn?t get allupset about .65cents and I know costs are crazy these days but that seems like nickel and dimeing their customers. Their tipcalculator started at 20%. You gotta earn that tip and that experience didn?t warrant a 20% tip. Improvement can be made stillat the Westside mothers. Read more
I'll do my typical breakdown of why I rate high or low based on all the different categories. Environment: 2 stars. The outside... is nice and relaxing, except it is along a very busy street. Inside is loud and everything echos. There is no noise damping. The feel inside is pretty "modern" aka clinical/easy to clean. The parking is bad... but that is typically for thisarea. Drinks: 3 stars. They were a good smoothie, nothing to really rave about... they had a good ratio of the differentflavors is about all I can say. Then again... smoothies are hard to mess up. Food: 3 stars. again... pretty meh. Pricy: 2stars. Pretty pricy... but the inflation factor and Bend isn't cheap so I am not giving a 2 stars on the price... but rather onthe hidden prices they don't warn you about. In my opinion this is far from ethical. If it were a sales tax (which Oregondoesn't have) then I could understand it, but to charge $0.60 for a "take out fee" is pretty petty. They probably pay about$0.05 for the cup and straw... the customers are not taking up tables (therefore inviting more sit down customers) it costs justas much to wash the plates afterwards. Service: 3 stars. Sometimes the counter staff is pretty friendly other times they justseem annoyed that you are sharing oxygen. This last time we asked about the "take out fee" and the guy literally ignored us andwalked away. Ethics: 2 stars. The hidden price ethics is frustrating... yes... it is just $0.60, and it won't break our bank. However the ethics behind it is pretty bad. The marketing of them using organic fruits might be true, but if you look closelyat the strawberries they sell (which are Driscols, by the way, and they are not known for good growing practices) they don'teven use the "organic" version. We ask In summary. It honestly is just a smoothie place that seemingly offers regularingredients at a high price. It isn't a bad place to go to, but it isn't anything that I would give a 5 stars to.

Nice selection of fresh juices, smoothie bowls, breakfast sandwiches and more!
This was a really awesome little juice bar once upon a small country town. Now , well lets just say money changes things . Now... its kinda like a modern style little tourist spot . They opened one on the east side but its closed so much u almost have to goto the west side .. Where the vibe has changed dramatically! I must say I don?t like what you did to the place and why is itstyled like it is ??? Looks like everything else new in this new Bend ! Character and individuality is okay the tourist willstill be there in line waiting to complain about service. Read more

Bohemian Wrapsody and Mother Clucker were both delicious. I?d definitely order those again. We also liked the wheat grass... smoothie. Unfortunately, I?d pass on the Superb smoothie. It didn?t really have a great flavor and my kids didn?t drink it. Justa little bummed by the wait, but it was probably expected for lunch time on a Sunday. Read more
My top favorite in Bend! Setting so well done, lots of places to find you chill spot that?s separate from others but you still... feel included. Really well thought out layout and vibe. The staff was so helpful and friendly, they?d pop in to see if youneeded anything - little conversation, great experience. The food was fantastic. Based on what my friends ordered (smoothies,Caesar, açaí bowl, and a quinoa bowl? tried them all and would order any of them again. I don?t think you can go wrong here,really well done Mothers!

Was told they could accommodate my allergies - runner brought out the wrong dish. They said they would remake the dish. After... waiting 30 minutes, we went to go check in and was told they forgot to make it. Read more
