I love juice - I always have. My theory was, why drink water when I could drink something that's better than water? At least, when I was young, better meant "tastes better." Now that I'm older, I'm more concerned with my caloric intake, and just how much refined sugar I ingest every day. There was a point in my life when I was ingesting over ( Read more... )

I would have to say that the atmosphere is wonderful... the tables and decor are really something else. The food... I don't know.
