Love this place! Fresh Juice, raw food, what could be better? The staff is friendly and very accommodating!
If you like something fresh, I recommend the Spinach slam w/ supergreens = so fresh and so clean clean (sorry couldn't resist).
Try the Raw Revolution Bars too, they are perfect with a juice! -

The health food items are great...particularly the grand slam; the employees are also super knowledgeable and friendly, however, their NO RETURN POLICY ON WHEATGRASS MACHINES is not appealing. This policy is hidden in plain sight on one of the tiniest signs and typewritten in small print that is in italic. Such a major, stringent policy should be presented to public in a more striking manner. It is not on the receipt or at the cash register nor did the employee share this vital information....just felt very deceptive to me.
Additionally, the quality of the machine is sub-par. There's not a spout for the juice, so it just drizzles down the rear of the machine...just outright messy. And the assembly instructions are quite "fuzzy"...not clear. It's not worth 55 dollars in my opinion.
I communicated with the owner the above information along with a couple of photos of the deceptively tiny sign ...to no avail. So, I just wanted to alert you all of this policy just in case you were considering purchasing anything other than food products from Arden's...... -

The Grand Slam is the only thing i get when i come to this store. If you get it to go it is served in 4 1ounce bottles. You get wheatgrass juice, ginseng i think, lemon, and crandberry juice. These juices taste nothing like what you are used to. They are super concentrated and fresh. The store is always nice and clean and they have other things for sale like t shirts, dvd's, books, and of course, bottled juices. I wish, though, they would have a few more tables inside and outside the store so people can relax while they are drinking their drink.

I love this place. If you ever are feeling under the weather, need a pick-me-up, or just want some vitamin replacement help because you drink too many beers or ate Chinese last night, this is the perfect place.
Get a Grand Slam - Gross, but will rock your world
Smoothies are delicious!
Juices are my fridge favorites! You can get them at Publix and Whole Food too. -

My first time drinking a shot of wheatgrass and you know what? It wasn't that bad! For as good as it's supposed to be for you, I was expecting it to taste much much worse.
GO FOR THE GRAND SLAM
I also recommend "Oops" "Hot Shot" and "Complete Recovery" all 3 delicious. -

I love this place! Friendly service, great prices, and the best smoothies, using real fruit, in the entire city. Smoothie King, Jamba Juice and Planet Smoothie will never become a consideration again once you've had a smoothie from Arden's Garden.
Support this place, leave a nice tip, and be a repeat customer. Good smoothie places aren't easy to find. This place is the best! -

The freshest and tastiest smoothies in all of Atlanta!
It's hard to even compare Arden's Garden to other smoothie places like Smoothie King or Planet Smoothie. It truly seems like it's in a different category all together. Arden's Garden smoothies are made up of 100% (yes, nothing BUT) fruit. Meaning, no mixes, fillers, or powders like at other smoothie places.
Other than fruit beverages, Arden's Garden offers a variety of "shots" (pure ginger, lemon extract, cranberry, and - of course - wheatgrass) and health foods such as protein bars, cleansing packages, and nearly the entire line of Burt's Bees goods.
Be SURE to check this place out if you are near the Piedmont Park area of Atlanta. I have yet to find anyone who does not love Arden's Garden! -

It's a good place for juice or smoothies, but don't expect anything else. Everything is quite fresh, which is nowadays difficult to find in a world where everything has conservatives or colorants. I haven't tried all their juices, but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. Highly recommended in this hot weather...

Tastee.
We used to live in Midtown and frequented them every weekend for an early-morning smoothie that would sometimes lead to an early-morning walk around Piedmont Park. Good times, indeed.
Everyone who works there is awesome and friendly. They have a great selection of fruits and juices to create whatever blended deliciousness you can dream up. Every thing I could concoct came out amazing.
They also have tasty raw treats...one that I loved especially, can't recall the exact name, something with the word 'morning' in it. Yumm. A good selection of vegan (and non-vegan) food items...cookies, rasta pop popcorn, pirate booty, etc. They also sell their bottled versions of smoothies and juices, just like at your grocery store, and those 1-gallon Detox blends for fasting.
I'll have to try out their Kirkwood location soon, hopefully it will be just as kick ass as this location is. -

This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick snack or an after workout pick me up! The cool thing is that I have actually met Arden in person and she really knows her juices...plus she got me hooked on flax seed. Here are my personal faves!
The smoothies are amazing and you get the choice to pick your own fruit and juice base. My usual: Apple Juice base with Mangos, Cherries, Blueberries, and a scoop of protein powder. It has the perfect balance and some of the best vitamins and nutrients you can get in fruit!
For all you Fear Factor lovers, get the Grand Slam! You get 4 shots...Wheat Grass, Lemon, Cranberry, and Ginger. Sounds easy right...wait till you get to the Ginger! Your mouth will be on fiya! Really, you should try it...plus its good for you!
Favorite juices are Cha-Cha Cherry, Orange and Pump up the Protein. Favorite summer juice is Watermelon...cuz I'm a good ole Southern Boy! Oh, and they sell Pirate Booty...you know the healthy cheese doodles! Yeah, yeah, yeah...you're right...I just wanted to say Pirate Booty! :) They are yummy though! -

Arden's Garden's juices are good anywhere, but this particular location stands out for one reason: the employees. These folks are great. I've seen the same woman every time and every time she's smiling, super friendly, and we end up talking about workouts. Having a crappy day? Go get some juice and a friendly face to cheer you up at Arden's Garden.
Personal favorites: Supergreen, Salad in a Glass (beets, carrots, and spinach have never tasted better), and Complete Recovery. If you get one of the 1/4 gallons, it's actually about the same price as juice at TJ's or Odwalla (plus much much fresher). -

I come here only to get the bottled juices and sometimes make my own juice. I haven't quite summoned up the nerve yet to do the Grand Slam (shot each of straight ginger, lemon, cranberry, and wheatgrass) or the juice detox but am definitely meaning to.
My ALL TIME FAVORITE juice EVER is the SUNRISE.. oh my hominy good...I actually use the juices here as a breakfast b/c I feel pretty full after drinking a whole one - it suppresses my urge to munch on random snacks in the office and it's great to know that Arden's juices are fresh and made from fruit, juices, and vegetables only. No sugar added, no powders, no chemical perservative whateverness.
Awesome awesome juices, i am obssessed
This is my favorite location - but you can also find a good variety of their juices at Whole Foods, and also their more popular ones at Publix and Kroger.
**UPDATE**
The Spinach Slam Smoothie is phenomenal - it has mango and pineapple in it so you do not taste the spinach whatsoever. So pull a Popeye's and drink some spinach!
p.s. I used to have mayor on foursquare at this location, whoever took it from me... I want it back! -

Love this place! I don't like smoothie king, jamba juice, etc so I had my doubts, but the ingredients are really fresh and taste great. Plus the service was really helpful.
Good value for the price as well (for the drinks anyway). -

Arden's Garden is the only place I go for smoothies as they use real fruit and juices. No sugars, funky mixes. Plus you can sit at the counter and do shots -- the Grand Slam detox program gives you a shot of wheatgrass, ginger, lemon and cranberry straight up. It gave me a massive headache the first time I had it, but only because of all the toxins it started to purge in my body.
They have juices you can buy by the gallon as well, one specifically for a juice fast. All fresh squeezed including grapefruit and lemon, and although it is expensive, it tastes great. I like the Midtown location best, especially as it is right across from Piedmont Park.
Looks like some other recommended their smoothie picks. I like mango, banana and either raspberry or blackberry with apple juice. But, I don't think you can go wrong.Listed in: Favorites

They do a great job here. They remember everything you spew out at them for your order, just try them! It always tastes great. I have tried Smoothie King and will never be back there; they just are not up to par. This is where a great smoothie awaits or a wheat grass shot or if you need to pick up some fresh, fresh juice.
They sell a couple of raw option deserts, like raw blueberry cheesecakes or fuzzy kisses- I would recommend the fuzzy kisses over the former.
You pick a juice for a base, 3 fruits and any additions, like soy protein, etc. -

Arden's really is like a spring garden crushed and blended into a beverage. Turn you off? It shouldn't! These smoothies and juices are delicious. Admittedly I order the typical strawberry and banana, but there are also flavors such as carrot spinach juice. Hmm. Arden's is certainly not your typical smoothie cafe. These juices are rare and intriguing - and so good for your body! Drop in to remedy your hang over or head cold. Whether you order something sugary and sweet, or go the green way, it's bound to be a nutritious and bizarre experience.

I've been craving smoothies for a while now and sadly juice it up is up for sale now so thats how I ended up at Arden's Garden. Not to mention they are right next door to Mediterranean Grill my fav greek place. So I stopped and got greek food and ran over to Ardens to check out what they offered. I decided to go with the 16oz pineapple jucie with strawberry and peaches. It was really fresh and made from premium juices. I will definitely go again and try a different concoction.

One of the staples in my life. Ever. FRESH, LIVE juices... what more could you ask for? The smoothies beat ANY other on the planet and the bottled juices are just great. Take the cleanse class it is awesome (I'm not sure if Arden is still teaching it). And I will tell you all my secret for hangovers-- one of the frozen fruit smoothies and a shot of wheatgrass. Try it.

The best thing about these smoothies are that they are two things: juice and frozen fruit. (unless of course you want some ginger or something like that in it) You pick the juice and the fruit. They have a great selection. The service is always quick, helpful, and super friendly.
