Our pop-up was so 2021. Now we have have a permanent home at 1186 3rd Avenue, open since April 2023.
We were so in need of organic cold-pressed juice and organic smoothies that I had to open an entirely new place with an entirely new business model.
Here's what to expect at our first goodsugar™ organic "longevity bar" – which opened recently:
1. No more single-use plastic (this was a big deal!).
2. We used only organic produce.
3. We washed the produce right in front of you in our beautiful produce washing machine.
4. We offered fresh in-house bakery items including gluten-free and refined sugar-free cakes, donuts, and other very pure and delicious things.
5. We had the first juice and elixir shot bar in New York City.
6. We created unbelievably delicious, warming, comforting health food recipes including satisfying curries, an insanely good "buffalo" cauliflower recipe, burritos, and so much more.
7. I got out of the sad and lonely retail refrigeration business, and displayed all of our products on ice in custom-made ice chests.
8. We were free to create what we believed was the best product for our health and for the enjoyment of all family members, young and old.
9. Transparent and truthful processes and ingredients, no mislabeling, NO HPP, maximum freshness, and beyond.
10. goodsugar was free from the stressful environment of a corporate office and scary executive-type people. This meant our kitchen and our mission were righteous!
Drink our juice soon after it was pressed and feel yourself becoming more beautiful! How long had it been since we tasted juice this amazing, with this color, this aroma, with this power? Not one single place in all of New York was doing all this the right way. We knew why: it was hard work, and it rarely paid off.
