Owen + Alchemy, a new juice bar from Anne Owen and Jared Van Camp (Nellcote, Leghorn, Old Town Social), opened this week after months and months of hype. The premise: cold-pressed juices and nut milks. Strangely, the space has a gothic vibe, which challenges our idea of bright, airy juice shops.
Given all the attention around this opening (and that the juices cost an eye-popping $9–$12 for a 16-once bottle), the TOC staff put these juices through the paces to find out if they're worth all the hype. We tried 22 juices, all the ones currently available. (There are four on the menu we didn't get, because, as O+A told us, "Due to the changing season, we are unable to source melons and grapefruits that meet our strict standards.")
We tasted them in the categories they're listed in on the menu: green, fruit and citrus (we combined these since only one citrus offering was available), root, savory, nut/seed and fermented.
