Nice store. Parking or lack of parking sucks! However, this is the best "real" food smoothies ever! If you like smoothies, then this is the place to go. Try a variety and also your favorite. Very clean store. Staff are pretty helpful. Sometimes it might be a mood thing with them. But all in all this place rocks! If you are on foot, this place is in the heart of THE Ohio State University. Grab a smoothie and walk the area for the traditional sites and sounds of college atmosphere. GO BUCKEYES!

I've been here several times now, so I'm surprised I hadn't already reviewed it. It's a small place, apparently a chain. Service is good. Selection is impressive: many options up on the menu board, or choose your own. Price, well, to me it's high, but then I don't get smoothies often. I came in here on a hot day to have something to rehydrate myself before getting food next door. Yeah, I am either old or very thirsty... I had the razzmatazz, I believe, which was lemonade with raspberry sherbet. It was cool and refreshing, and a small was plenty big for me. Sweetie had the kiwi mango and liked it. I'm glad this is handy, and that it's not as busy now that the students are gone for the summer...

Been loving and going to Berry Blendz since 2008, when it actually had a different name. Prices and flavor don't compare to my all time favorite place in Cleveland, but this place is the best option nearest to the OSU campus! I love getting the Tropical smoothies.

I love the smoothies here. I do make my own smoothies, but sometimes it's nice to have a little variety in your smoothie options. In fact, Berry Blendz has so many options, ranging from tons of veggies and fruits you can have as part of your smoothies, to extra supplements or granola and more that you can add. The service is pretty quick here which is a huge plus if I'm just looking for an afternoon or post work-out smoothie. Whenever I watch them make my smoothies, I see them grab fresh fruits straight from their shelves. I haven't seen them grab any pre-mixed juices or anything. The smoothies here are prettttty expensive though. Be prepared to spend at least $5 or more if you get a little something extra on top of a basic smoothie. Because of the price, I give it 3 instead of 4 stars.

This little smoothie shop has undergone several changes since I was a student on campus, but it remains a great spot for a fast, healthy meal. After falling in love with the Acai bowl concept on a recent trip out West, I've been looking for places I could get my fix back home. Berry Blendz seems to be one of the only places around with this sweet treat available, and although it didn't quite compare to those in Cali, it still hit the spot. But of course, every fruit concoction would be better if we could grow the ingredients locally year round. Their enormous smoothie menu is still amazing, and they allow you to add in greens like spinach, and supplements like whey protein, which is important to me. I also learned that they have a full service juice bar! All of their choices seem to be on the pricier side, but when you remember that it's supposed to be a meal, it's actually a fantastic deal. I'll definitely be back for another Acai bowl!

Their Trail Mixer smoothie is heavenly. Raspberry smoothie with pieces of granola in it so so good. Must try it.

The only thing that could be any more perfect about Berry Blendz would be if they lowered prices. But seeing as they only use fresh, natural and organic...I can understand $6.50 for a large smoothie. You can choose from preset options divided into categories (citrus, berry, energy, etc...) or choose to make your own. I've tried two and they were delicious. Next time I'm going to make my own though. I can see Berry Blendz being a place I come to often.

Anneke M.
I absolutely love this place. We just moved in down the street, and Berry Blendz has earned a regular place in my mid-morning/lunch routine. They have a huge variety of flavors, and service has been great every time I've been there. They are definitely comparable in price to a Jamba Juice or Smoothie King, and the product is much better in my opinion. Go! I recommend anything with cranberries, or love potion #9.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed IntaJuice yet...Real fruit smoothies, I can't get enough of these! But I suppose there is some good fortune in that because when I went today, I found out some things I never knew about Inta Juice: 1) Randy Moss was a co-owner of the brand. 2) He just backed out and took the name with him. 3) The stores belonging to the other owner(s) are now called BerryBlendz. That includes this location. Same staff, same company, just a different name due to typical Randy Moss behavior. That guy can't stay anywhere for too long! Randy, you're giving our home state a bad name! Well, I guess it does a good enough job of that on its own. Oh, some more about the smoothies...3 sizes, small (16oz), medium (24oz) and large (32oz). 3.75, 4.50, and 5 something respectively. You can get a free mix-in of some healthy stuff, they've got a whole list of blends, like antioxidants, picker upper, fiber, vitamin c, energy, etc. There are tons, literally tons, of smoothie options, including a bunch of acai ones; something for everyone. Finally, while nearly all of the smoothies have yogurt, you do have the option to request all fruit only.

I've mastered the art of making smoothies at home as of late, so it was high time I tried to see how I stack up against my more "professional" competition. I have always felt I was far superior in my smoothie-making because I wasn't using any pre-mixed juices like most of the other shops - only solid fruits, veggies, yogurt, etc. That automatically makes me the winner, right? Well, to my surprise Berry has adopted this philosophy, as well. Fresh orange juice (that juicer is so cool!), wheat grass, bananas... the works. They gave my skillz a run for their money! Oh, and speaking of, the smoothies run pretty high here (anywhere from $4 to $8 depending on if you add any extras) but considering they often act as meal replacements, you're getting a great healthy, filling meal.

Courtney Q.
They're pretty generous with whatever ingredients they put into your cup, so the smoothies taste somewhat multi-dimensional. Sometimes the beverages can be a little too sweet and make me question my blood glucose level, but most of the time they're tasty--and, as it turns out, quite healthy too. A solid four stars for all the fruity goodness, yo!

Angie K.
They use real fruit like a smoothy place is supposed to... good service and choices. Top choice for smoothy in cbus. Only complaint is its impossible to park.

Stopped in to get my shot of wheat grass @ 8:20pm. The two behind the counter was not happy to see me. Said they had all ready cleaned the machine and could not make it. Why close at 9 maybe you should close at 8:20pm just saying

After ten days of battling the stomach flu I ended up at the South Campus Gateway for lunch, and no desire to eat real food. The most I thought I could manage was a smoothie and I am so glad I gave it a try. The fruit and juice were fresh (we watched the orange for one of our smoothies get juiced) and the taste was spot on. Exactly what you'd want from a real fruit smoothie. The prices weren't super cheap but I didn't find them to be any more expensive than comparable stores. Also, when I turned down a supplement they didn't look at me like I was insane, which is a big problem I've had at other smoothie places. I doubt I'd drive down to the area for Berry Blendz alone (It's no longer called Inta Juice) but if I'm in the area any time soon I'll be stopping by.

Jackie P.
Only a few minutes to stop for lunch? I suggest Berry Blendz! With numerous combinations (you can even make your own) you could visit every day for months and still not tried everything! I'm currently making my way though the pre-made suggestions. And let me tell you, I haven't met a flavor I haven't liked. These can be super filling before you even realize it- so I recommend just getting the small size, unless you have a while to go until dinner, then the medium will suffice. Be sure to get your free supplement. You honestly cannot even taste it in your drink. And let me just be perfectly clear, this isn't Smoothie King...we are talking actual fruit going into these smoothies. Fresh squeezed oranges and wholesome juices...you can taste the freshness! Be sure to get the Stamp Card- after 12, you get the 13th free! Also, if you need something solid, I recommend the Acai (a-SIGH-ee) bowl. Super delicious, and a great pick me up to keep you energized.

I'm so happy to find a place in the Midwest that makes and acai bowl. I wish it was Chicago but I'm glad that when I am in Columbus, there is place I can go for something healthy.

Are you a fan of fresh juice or wheatgrass shots? Healthy sounding options abound, like real-fruit smoothies and veggie blended drinks. They also offer those dietary add-ins people like in their smoothies so much. I could take or leave them, but eh. I know Inta Juice has high overhead with fresh juices and all that fresh fruit and such so, yeah, it's a bit pricey. It's basically worth it, but I'm usually too poor to justify spending multiple dollars on a small cup of orange juice, even if it is about as fresh as it gets. What is there to say? You know if you like smoothies and fresh healthy drinks. You know how much they cost if you get them regularly, and for what it all is you could do a lot worse than Inta Juice. Don't let my apathy influence you much, though: I guess I just ain't Inta Juice. (Wow.)
(3)
John Q.
I frequent this place once a week. They also have coupons out for a buy one get one free, which makes it seem less expensive. The medium sized smoothies start at $4.49-5.99 but they do come with two free supplements. This is a great place to go if you are in the area already parked or you live within walking distance. I would never drive here though just for a smoothie because the parking is very limited and you might end up having to park in the south gateway garage for a spot. UPDATE: They now only let you pick one free supplement for a medium sized smoothie. Each additional one costs $0.25.

Heather H.
Delicious smoothies!!! After moving away, the first thing I do when I am back in Columbus is stop in for a Chai High. Their drinks and smoothies are reasonably priced compared to other drink shops (like Jamba Juice and Planet Smoothie) and you can't beat 2 free dietary add-ins per regular size smoothie.

Inta Juice offers fresh-squeezed juices and smoothies at the South Campus Gateway. And it's a bit of a health revelation when compared to the other dining options in the area (Potbelly anyone? It's right there in the name.). Everything here is uber-fresh. I have to admit that I love the sight of a carrot being turned into juice right before my eyes. I just wish I liked the taste of it more. In addition to fruits and veggies, the folks at Inta Juice will also toss in frozen yogurt, tea, chocolate, vitamins or some sort of grass that is growing in a basin on the counter. The presence of all that fresh-squeezed juice makes Inta seem healthier that other smoothie chains like Smoothie King. Whether or not that's true is up for debate. It certainly has prices to match.

Laryn C.
The smoothies are amazing!! But why the styrofoam cups?? This place is also a bit pricey, but it certainly is just like a meal, so if you're going to spend 5 bucks you might as well spend it on something delivious and healthy :)

They have wheat-grass!!!! all the other places i use to get wheat grass at have closed down or rarley keep wheat grass in stock, so i was so happy when i found this place. It is about a 20 minute drive for me but worth it. And the staff is very friendly and helpful. i love inta juice!

Dear Lord, I think I've hit the mother-load. If you've ever spent hours dreaming up the perfect concoction of all your favorite fruit and vegetable flavors, you more than owe it to yourself to pay this South Campus juice bar and indulge your senses. The menu here is a dazzling array of juice mixtures that cover every sort of combination you could ever imagine and then some, all with the option to add shots of healthy add-ons like vitamins, protein powder, and wheatgrass to name a few. My favorite item on the menu is the Fruit Flirtation, which is an explosively creamy combination of orange, strawberry, banana, and raspberry. I kid you not, if you get the large size and add a healthy dose of protein powder to the mix, you've got yourself a full-on meal in a cup. With the final price hovering somewhere near the $5 mark, it damn well better be a meal, that's for sure! Inta Juice lives up to its hype as a high-powered juice bar fir for the most intense health nut, and it's just as good for the rest of us!

Inta Juice just opened at the South Campus Gateway, so I had to stop in to see what it was all about. They boast real fruit in all of their smoothies and juices, with no syrup. Fresh squeezed juice is available including wheat grass juice, vegetable juice blends, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Of course, it's a little pricey, but that's what's going to happen when you are using actual fruits and vegetables. There are many many smoothie flavors to choose from, and when you calculate all the different add ins, like Echinacea, Ginseng, Protein, and Energy Boost, your choices are actually in the hundreds. I'll be going back again and again to get a taste of everything they have to offer. I'm taking away one star though. For a place that is all about natural, organic, and healthy juices, they put all their juice in Styrofoam cups.

Eric T.
Nice place but seem a little pricey. Got the "Warrior" smoothie which is quite tasty. A regular size cost $6.75. I asked about adding spinach and that was an additional $1.50 which seems quite expensive for a handful of spinach. I give it 4 stars for the fact the the smoothie is very good.
