Pure Raw Juice - Hampden

I am not typically a fan of healthy spots but Pure Raw Juice has an amazing selection of smoothie bowls! These bowls are HUGE and topped with granola, fresh fruits, and hemp seeds. They are so filling and I had no idea fruit could actually keep me full. I visited Pure Raw Juice after my morning with Plant Powered Athlete Baltimore. The inside of the store is spacious enough for a good amount of people to gather and order without feeling claustrophobic. It is annoying that Pure Raw puts honey and bee pollen in so many of their menu items. Fortunately their cashew mylk which contains honey can be replaced with coconut water. That made ordering the Health Nut bowl vegan easy with a simple substitution of the cashew mylk.The employees were really nice and it was so easy to order and make sure they understood I want a vegan smoothie bowl. They worked very efficiently and there was hardly a wait for my bowl to come out.I was shocked by the portion size of my 24oz bowl!! It is a lot for one person to eat and I ended up sharing this bowl with my husband. The bowl has so much smoothie, a generous portion of fruit, and granola and hemp seeds to keep you full for awhile!The bowl was only $12 and for the portion size and quality I would definitely order it again.

This review is for the morning of 2/23/25. I came into a EMPTY store with 2 people behind the counter. I was the only person there when ordering my food and had a 18 minute wait with 1 item? There was a group of two that came in behind me with an order of 2 and got their orders before mine. The young woman behind the counter wasn't attentive to who was in the store and what was happening, she was on her cellphone and was supposed to be on the register. I come to the store because it's close but I would literally ride into Towson for the other one because between service and wait time I had ENOUGH. I come to pure raw often and my bowls come out great everytime. I love the food the pure raw has but you guys need better protocols for your workers in this location with the clientele it serves. Thanks.

I want to stress that the employees here are so so kind and sweet! I had several questions for them and they helped me out and gave me a water that helped save me from my dehydration. I came in after a run in the neighborhood that left me exhausted as I timed it poorly and should have ate beforehand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I knew I was craving juice so I came here to remedy this. Parking is hit or miss depending on the time you go but there is a huge parking lot so odds are you'll have some luck. There's only a little bit of seating inside and a little outside; this is more of a to-go spot in my opinSunrise Shake - 2.5/5, okay so I know I was craving a juice but after seeing this on the menu, I was totally swayed! I wanted something citrus-y and this has orange juice blended with banana, honey, and cashew milk so I figured it'd hit the spot. Firstly, yes the shakes are thicker than the juices (to be expected). This didn't taste at all like I expected, given the ingredients. It was actually almost spiced? like it came with cinnamon in it which was surprising but not unpleasant. Honestly, my main issue with this was how its main flavor profile was the cashew milk instead of the orange juice or banana.Matcha Mango Bowl - 1.5/5 this was sadly a miss for me :( While I'm sure it is super healthy, it missed the mark for me yum factor wise. Although it's green, I really could not get any sense of the matcha present or the mango? The dark chocolate cacao overpowered the entire bowl for me, I could really only taste that and the coconut pieces for the main flavor profile. I really love açaí so I will be coming back to try that!

Came here to get an açaí bowl even though they sell fresh made juices. The parking can be tough so the right timing is everything! Upon entering, you could smelled the cleanliness, meaning it smelled of fresh bleach, but not the overpowering type, just enough for you to know they take their store's cleaning seriously.The staff were pleasant and we ordered our bowls. The store is small downstairs, but has an upstairs area to sit and eat so that's a good thing!The bowls were fresh and good. The berries were plump and fresh, the granola providing the perfect crunch with the cold creaminess of the açaí on the bottom. If you're a texture person, this would be a great treat for you!All in all, one of the best places in Bmore for a nice smoothie bowl.

A feel good snack for sure ...healthy and delicious. Tastes good and is good for you. This location is located in Hampden in the Rotunda shopping center. I ordered the Traditional Acai Bowl. The base is berries and then toppings are granola, banana, blueberries, strawberries, coconut and honey. So so so good. You can get an original size which may be about 10 or so ounces. There is also a smaller version. Never disappointed. Service is always great!! Everything tastes fresh and is made on the spot and is all organic.Atmosphere: Very relaxing. There isn't really any room to eat on the lower level. Just a small counter with about 4 seats that face a window. The upstairs is super cute with tables and chairs and also free Wi-Fi! They also have some outdoor seating. In addition to various bowls, they offer smoothies and healthy tinctures. I got a Zinger Juice too which comes witb apple, lemon, ginger root. Lots of health benefotd like apples help lower the risk of heart attack and stroke and regulates. Ginger helps with so many things too. Very yummy! It's a snack you won't feel guilty about. Love this place. Highly recommended!

I recently started going back to the gym and a friend of mine recommended getting more protein in my diet to help build some muscle (or as the kids like to call it, "gains"). Lucky for me, Pure Raw Juice is right next to my gym and, even though the putrid smell of bananas wafting through the parking garage hallway always seems to throw me off, I decided to grab a smoothie after an especially exhausting workout. I'm definitely not a regular at a place like this so I was a little lost on what to order. My eye immediately drew to the first mention of "protein" which ended up being a smoothie bowl and not an actual smoothie. I had to ask the employee to stop making the bowl soon after I ordered it because I realized I had made a mistake - oops! I went with the Almond Butter Cup smoothie instead which took them about 15 minutes to make... even though I was the only person waiting in the store. The first couple sips were honestly a little gross but after a while, it grew on me. I could definitely taste a chalky texture from the protein powder but the little chunks of chocolate seemed to distract me from that. I think I may return again but get something a little more fruity and place my order online for pick up instead so I don't have to wait as long (hopefully). I will say the inside is surprisingly cute with an upper loft area with plenty of seating and free WiFi which I can appreciate. It seems to be pretty empty most of the time so it might be a good place to work out of one of these days.

I have been to this location many times and it's always good. They have never messed up my order or anything and the smoothies and bowls always hit. The service is a little slow sometimes but it's fine. They also have a nice seating area upstairs. My favorite smoothie is the Tropical, it's very refreshing and flavorful. The Purple Haze is also really good. I definitely recommend this location.

I love that this location opened up due to the convenience of parking! You can park for free in the garage of the rotunda and easily grab a smoothie or açaí bowl. I usually get the açaí traditional bowl but recently just tried the protein bowl. I told the staff that I didn't want anything too sweet and they recommended the protein bowl. I got the bowl to go due to current social distancing requirements and chowed down quickly to prevent the bowl from melting. The bowl was topped with granola, almonds, hemp seeds, and banana. It was deliciously filling and refreshing! I will definitely be getting this one again!

Great service. The smoothie bowls are delicious. I feel like you do lose a bit of the love you get at the original location but I'm a fan regardless.

During my first time visiting pure raw juice, I ordered a drink smoothie. And they somehow forgot my order, and after 15 people went ahead of me. I asked for my money back. The service was subpar, and I will find another location for Health drinks.
