What Pressed Juicery is and how it operates

Pressed Juicery is a juice bar chain that makes and sells cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and plant-based food items at physical locations and through delivery. The company operates company-owned stores in California, Nevada, and other states, plus a few franchise locations. You walk in, order from a menu, and either drink on-site or take your purchase with you — or you can order online for delivery through their website or third-party apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Cold-pressed juice means the juice is extracted using hydraulic pressure rather than heat or centrifugal force, which the company says preserves more nutrients. Pressed Juicery sells individual juices (16 or 32 ounces), juice cleanses (multi-day programs of several juices), smoothies, nut butters, and prepared foods like salads and bowls. Prices vary by location and item, but a single 16-ounce juice typically costs between $8 and $12.

The company also sells a subscription program called Pressed Rewards, which offers members points on purchases that can be redeemed for free items. Membership is free to join through their app or website, and you earn points whether you pay with a card, Apple Pay, or another method.

Key Takeaways

  • Pressed Juicery locations are concentrated in California and Nevada, though some franchise stores exist elsewhere, so availability depends on your zip code.
  • You can buy individual juices, smoothies, or multi-day juice cleanses in-store, or order online for delivery through Pressed Juicery's website or third-party delivery apps.
  • The Pressed Rewards membership program is free and earns you points on every purchase that you can redeem for discounts or free items.
  • Cold-pressed juice costs more than centrifugal or heat-pasteurized juice because the extraction method is slower and more expensive to operate.
  • Pressed Juicery juices are not raw — they are high-pressure processed (HPP) for food safety, which extends shelf life but may affect some heat-sensitive nutrients.

Where Pressed Juicery locations are and how to find one

Pressed Juicery has the most locations in California, particularly in Los Angeles, Orange County, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The chain also operates stores in Nevada (Las Vegas and Reno), Arizona, Colorado, and a few other states. The exact number and locations change as the company opens and closes stores, so the fastest way to find a location near you is to visit their website store locator or call their customer service line.

If there is no Pressed Juicery location in your area, you cannot order from them — they do not ship bottled juices nationwide. Some juice bars in other regions offer similar cold-pressed products, but they are separate businesses.

How to order and what payment methods they accept

In-store ordering is straightforward: you arrive, look at the menu board or printed menu, tell the staff what you want, and pay. Most locations accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash, though you should confirm with your specific store.

Online ordering through their website or app lets you place an order for pickup at a specific time or for delivery if your address is within their delivery zone. Delivery is usually handled by Pressed Juicery's own drivers or by third-party services like DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub, depending on your location. Delivery fees, service fees, and taxes are added at checkout and vary by platform and location.

The Pressed Rewards membership is free and automatically tracks your purchases when you provide your phone number or email at checkout, or when you use the Pressed Juicery app. You do not need to sign up in advance — the system can look up your account by phone number if you have made a purchase before.

Understanding cold-pressed juice and HPP processing

Cold-pressed juice is extracted using a hydraulic press that applies thousands of pounds of pressure to fruits and vegetables. This method produces more juice from the same amount of produce compared to centrifugal juicing (which spins at high speed and generates heat) or slow-masticating juicing (which crushes slowly). Because less heat is involved, some nutrients that are sensitive to heat — like certain vitamins and enzymes — may be better preserved.

However, Pressed Juicery juices are not raw. After pressing, the juice is treated with high-pressure processing (HPP), a food safety method that applies extreme pressure to kill pathogens and extend shelf life. HPP does not use heat, but it may affect some nutrients and the texture of the juice. This is why Pressed Juicery juices last longer in the refrigerator than truly raw, untreated juice would.

The cost difference between cold-pressed and other juice types reflects the equipment and labor involved. Hydraulic presses are expensive to buy and maintain, pressing takes longer than centrifugal juicing, and HPP treatment adds another step. This is why a Pressed Juicery juice costs more than a juice from a centrifuge-based juice bar or a grocery store brand.

Juice cleanses and multi-day programs

Pressed Juicery sells juice cleanses, which are pre-planned sets of juices designed to be consumed over one, three, five, or seven days. A typical cleanse includes four to six juices per day, each a different flavor or nutrient profile. You can order a cleanse through their website or in-store, and it arrives as a set of bottles in a cooler or bag.

The cost of a cleanse varies by length and location, but a three-day cleanse typically costs between $150 and $250. Cleanses are marketed as detoxification or reset programs, though the scientific evidence for juice cleanses as a detox method is limited. Your liver and kidneys naturally filter waste from your body, and drinking juice alone for several days may cause hunger, fatigue, or digestive changes in some people.

If you are interested in a cleanse, you can order it online or ask staff in-store about the ingredients, nutritional content, and what to expect. Pressed Juicery provides information about each juice's ingredients and calorie count, which you can review before ordering.

Subscription and rewards programs

The Pressed Rewards program is Pressed Juicery's free loyalty system. Every time you make a purchase, you earn points based on the dollar amount spent. Points accumulate in your account and can be redeemed for free items or discounts. The exact redemption rates and available rewards vary by location and change over time, so you can check your account in the app or ask staff what rewards are currently available.

There is no paid subscription tier or membership fee. You join by providing your phone number or email at checkout, or by downloading the Pressed Juicery app and creating an account. The app also shows you your points balance, available rewards, and nearby locations.

Some locations occasionally offer promotions like "double points days" or special discounts for app users, which are announced through email or the app. Signing up for email notifications is optional and can help you learn about these offers, but you are not required to opt in to earn points.

Nutritional information and dietary options

Pressed Juicery publishes nutritional information for all of its juices, smoothies, and food items on its website and in-store. You can see the calorie count, sugar content, protein, and ingredient list before you order. This information is useful if you are tracking macronutrients, managing blood sugar, or avoiding specific ingredients.

The menu includes options for different dietary preferences: vegan smoothies and juices (no dairy or animal products), nut-free options, and items made with plant-based milk alternatives like almond, oat, or coconut milk. If you have a severe allergy, you should ask staff about cross-contamination risks in their preparation area, as they work with many ingredients in a shared space.

Juices are high in natural sugars from fruit, even though they contain no added sugar. A 16-ounce juice may contain 20 to 40 grams of sugar depending on the recipe. If you are managing diabetes or watching sugar intake, you can review the nutrition facts before ordering or ask staff which juices have the lowest sugar content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order Pressed Juicery online if there is no store near me?

No. Pressed Juicery only delivers to addresses within their service areas, which are limited to regions where they have physical locations. If you enter your zip code on their website and no stores appear, they do not deliver to you. You would need to visit a location in person or look for a different juice brand available in your area.

How long do Pressed Juicery juices last in the refrigerator?

HPP-treated cold-pressed juices typically last 30 to 45 days when refrigerated, depending on the specific juice and storage conditions. Raw, untreated juice lasts only a few days. Pressed Juicery prints an expiration or "best by" date on each bottle, so check that date before drinking. Once opened, consume the juice within one to two days.

Are juice cleanses actually detoxifying?

Your liver and kidneys naturally remove waste from your body without a juice cleanse. Drinking only juice for several days may cause temporary weight loss (mostly water weight), but there is no scientific evidence that cleanses remove toxins or provide lasting health benefits. Some people report feeling more energized after a cleanse; others experience hunger or digestive discomfort. If you are considering a cleanse, talk to your doctor first, especially if you have diabetes, kidney disease, or take medications.

What is the difference between cold-pressed juice and juice from a grocery store?

Grocery store juices are usually made with centrifugal juicers (which spin at high speed and generate heat) or are heat-pasteurized for safety. Cold-pressed juice uses hydraulic pressure and is treated with HPP instead of heat. Cold-pressed may retain more heat-sensitive nutrients, but both types are safe to drink. Cold-pressed costs more because the equipment and process are more expensive.

Do I have to join Pressed Rewards to get a discount?

No. Pressed Rewards is free and optional. You earn points on every purchase whether you join or not, but if you do not provide your phone number or email, the points will not be tracked. Joining takes 30 seconds and lets you redeem points for free items later, so most customers find it worth doing.
