I love this place! The vegan Caesar salad with chickpeas and cumin is amazing, and their smoothies are awesome. Everything is completely vegan which is a plus and the environment is so relaxing. While it is more expensive, it is definitely worth it!

I am addicted to their green crackers. I actually eat one bag everyday. They are tasty filling and at the right price level. Their juices are tasty and their kale chips are amazing. The store is super clean and inviting and the service is great. Hailey is my favorite. She is really customer conscious, always has a smile on and knows the products line very well. Thank you so much

You’re gonna find some serious goodness in this tiny store. Pricey, yes, but hell, you’re in the Bay Area, whaddya expect for fresh juices?
The product that blew my mind, though, was the tiramisu. Sweet Baby Jesus. I thought I done died and gone to an Italy that served heavenly raw desserts. Try it. Really.

Kick ass raw vegan salads and juices in compost able packaging. LOVE that this place is close. Would’ve given it 5 stars were it not for the fact that as an ethical vegan I thought it was really sad to see all the boiled chicken menstruation anomalously on the shelf amongst all the delicious raw vegan food. If you want to offer people additional protein why not just make your own raw powder blend?

I’ve done two Urban Remedy cleanses or programs. I have done several from other brands. The food dishes from Urban Remedy are excellent. Love them! However, I am not a big fan of the juices though. They use Stevia in a lot of their juices and I just hate the Stevia chemical taste — together with the fact that this is supposed to be healthy and natural — it just seems odd using a sugar substitute. I know Stevia is supposed to be a «natural» sweetener and everything — but I am not totally convinced. Would prefer not to have Stevia involved in my juice programs. Juice Press has great juices and they never use Stevia. Same with Blue Print. The natural juice of an Apple or Pear is not evil.

The green juice I had was quite good and I am sure good for me. I will probably not be coming back for juice tho, $ 8.75 is steep when there are many other options locally.
Urban Remedy does have many other interesting and delicious snacks that you don’t see other places. Great for feeding my young daughter who normally avoids everything green.

I Love UR San Rafael. I go here usually after a bikram class down the street so I’m always in need of an energy boost after class. Any of the great drinks satisfy but especially love the Flush juice. The ginger brittle is one of my favorites as well and is a perfect substitute for my late night sweet tooth. The gals who work there are always friendly and super helpful. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been shopping at Urban Remedy for a few years now and love the juices, desserts and salads. My last purchase was the carrot soup which was terrible. I was so surprised; maybe on that batch they didn’t get it right. The employees behind the counter use to be so nice but lately, the employees working behind the counter have been rude. It kind of turns me off.

Very bad customer service. I was a regular until I realized… Why am I paying for such rude service. Awful! Whole foods offers the «Emerald City Zinger» … You won’t be disappointed!

I am the last person that I would think could do a 3 day juice cleanse but Urban Remedy was recommended to me and I decided to try it. I was apprehensive but determined to do it to get rid of my cravings and excessive hunger. There was a special for buy 3 get one free so I wound up doing a 4 day cleanse.
It is best to do a three day preparation where you gradually decrease meat, taper down on caffeine and increase water intake to at least 8 glasses per day but I jumped right in. My biggest worry was that hunger and low blood sugar would lead to releasing the Kraken on loved ones, coworkers and random strangers. The Urban Remedy cleanse is amazing. You drink lemon water in the morning and 1 of the 6 juices every 2 hours starting at 9AM. Each delicious juice is a different combination of veggies and fruits which keeps things interesting. The combination of ingredients kept my blood sugar stable. No headaches or cramps that reportedly can be side effects of do it yourself cleanses. I slept well and I was never hungry! I did get a bit light headed on day 2 and white knuckled it for a bit on day 3. When I was done I ate lightly and mostly veggies and fruits for a few days after.
The cleanse had the desired effects. My cravings were gone, my stomach shrank, my metabolism kicked up a notch and I lost weight. It went so well I decided to do a form of cleansing every month to reset myself when bad habits start creeping back in and to keep the scale going in the right direction. I loved the Metabolism kit which has two delicious raw food vegan meals, 4 juices and a snack each day. I kicked off this year with a 3 day juice cleanse and had no issues, it was easy peasy.
The food is also amazing. The spring rolls, Zen salad, cauliflower tabbouleh, kale Cesar and zucchini fettuccine pesto are beyond delicious. I would be happy if I ordered them at a restaurant.
Urban Remedy is a fantastic business with products available online or at locations in Marin and SF. I can not wait until they open the East Bay store in Berkeley/​Emeryville area. A great place to pick up delicious vegan food, juices and snacks or a cleanse. Highest recommendation!

I stopped in to buy some lemon brittle and the woman who helped me was very nice. The lemon brittle has been discontinued so she gave me a discount on 4 small packages they had left.

I’m currently eating a salad and drinking a green juice from Urban Remedy.
Absolutely delicious.
I walked in and one of the guys behind the desk instantly asked if I needed help picking something out (he probably sensed my newbie confusion). He then poured me samples of REFRESH (lemon + chlorophyll + stevia + filtered water) and some other light, veg-​only green juice.
I also snacked on samples (they have soooo many samples) of house-​made cheesy kale chips and this delicious salad (Note: a juice bar with healthy organic wholesome salads has my undying love). I ended up buying the salad – Zucchini Fettucine Green & Red (pesto & marinara sauces) – and the REFRESH juice.
So, so good. I’ll list the ingredients in the salad (which tastes SO GOOD and is filling me up):
Sauce – organic sundried tomato, organic basil, organic lemon, organic garlic, organic hemp seeds, organic himalayan pink salt, organic coconut sugar, organic olive oil
Pasta – organic zucchini noodles, organic parsley
I’m very healthy and very active and it is so refreshing to find a premade meal that is free of preservatives and that will nourish my body (i.e. there’s no «xantham gum» in this juice.).
Already excited to go back.

I received a lovely gift card from this place as a birthday gift! Also I got one of their fancy black zip up bags with mini drinks & various snacks, Such a fantastic gift! The little desserts were Tiramisu & Blueberry Fool. Both ridiculously good. Better than the real thing. The drinks were great too. I love their Almond Milk. Yes its sweet. Yes its a king’s ransom to boot. But, its really good. I have yet to try the $ 48 a day 6 pack cleanse. I have juiced off & on for many years. This place has wonderful products.

My friend and I tried out Urban Remedy today and were extremely impressed. I’ve been juicing for about three months and cold press juice shops north of the bay are few and far between. UR has the best prices, glass bottles without a deposit fee and the variety is unbelievable. I’ll be making the drive from Petaluma at least once a week! The customer service was impeccable and we were offered both food and juice samples as soon as we arrived. If you love juice… you’ve got to try this place!

I have been juicing for years and while this place offers a nice variety of juices & healthy treats well, it’s a bit expensive and not always very tasty. Some are nothing but sugar, might as well have a coca cola :0)
The staff isnt always that friendly & may not quite like their job?
:(

I love, love, love Urban Remedy. I feel so nourished with a plethora of juice recipes to choose from. My appetite for a power lunch is always satisfied from the specialty salads, spring rolls and even sweet selections.
Urban Remedy makes it possible to do a juice cleanse, without interrupting a busy lifestyle. Each day I feel better and better, making Urban Remedy my perfect companion to make 2015 my year to get back on the saddle of my own health.
I love Amanda and the staff at Urban Remedy and I’m amazed at the expansion of the stores, growing from San Rafael to Mill Valley and I heard San Francisco. Great work UR!

Pros: a small selection of salads and raw treats.
Cons: almost everything has Stevia! I would never do a cleanse (or order a smoothie, nut milk, or other beverage in a JUICE shop that has added Stevia). Customer service… I’m never a fan when I’m not thanked for my business. Turning the screen for me to swipe my card and then walking away to never return or even thank me… that’s very poor service.

The moral of the story: if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
I wandered in looking for coffee, because this place looks frikkin adorable from the miracle mile, and I was super excited to finally notice something new and modern in the neighborhood (guess it’s been open for a year).
Unfortunately, the coffee is $ 5.50. I do love really good coffee, and I grew up in the world of coffee shops, rather than the world of instant and .10 coffee. But my reaction to $ 5.50 was probably like my grandma’s reaction to how much an average café cuppa costs: «what is this made of? gold shavings?»
The server was very nice, she saw my shock at entering what seemed to be some kind of magical healthy juice land where the juice all comes out of a refrigerator in glass bottles. She tried to explain the prices, because there were no prices on the menu. She gave me a sample — I guess they always have a couple bottles open for samples.
But at that moment, about 10 minutes after I ate lunch, and about 3 hours late for my morning coffee, Urban Remedy was — alas — not my remedy.
