Nice place, nice staff, and a great selection of organic foods (when they are fresh). Sometimes the vegetables are slightly old but generally they keep a good supply in stock. We regularly shop there. Also there is a smoothie bar and quick-grab items like wraps and gluten-free snacks. Highly recommended.

The best organic family owned place in Basking Ridge! The store is packed with mostly organic items and fresh produce and head back to the back to get your best lunch made!

Although the food shopping experience in this establishment is alright, I would never recommend the "Juice Bar" at Deans to anyone. During my last visit, I ordered 2 acai bowls, one being the almond bowl and the other the berry bowl. The preparation time was around 5-10 minutes, however the price of these 2 bowls was nearly $25 - a bit unreasonable if you ask me. After paying, and a quick (not even) 3 minute drive home, I sat down with my mother to eat our bowls. As soon as I opened the top to mine I noticed immediately that it was completely liquid - a soupy consistency. My mom opened hers as well with the same result. Eating the acai was nearly unbearable. It was not cold, the granola was both stale and soggy, and the fruit did not taste fresh whatsoever. It is very easy to say that I will never purchase an acai bowl from this place ever again.

I rarely provide feedback unless it's either exceptionally good or surprisingly bad. Unfortunately, this is an really unpleasant experience. I have been shopping at the Basking Ridge store (off NJ Highway 78 exit 33) at least twice a week since the store opened years ago.
There were several incidents that their produce price label does not match what rings up at the check out register. They did correct the mistakes if customers spotted it but two female cashiers (in their 50's) have attitude problems and often made the customers feel bad that he/she held up the line.
Today, I stopped by and picked up a head of organic Cauliflower priced at $4.99, but it rang up as $8.99. The cashier (a female cashier in her 50's with dark long hair) went back to check after I shown her the price tag in the produce section. At the same time she pointed out there is another pile of cauliflower at the end of the produce section with price tag flipped over to blank.
After she checked with the produce dept, she came back and tell me she will give it to me for $4.99 and then asked if I flipped the other price tag. I could not believe what I heard and I told her it's a bad and wrong question. This is perhaps the most unreasonable and insulting question that one could experience while buying a head of cauliflower!!!!! PLEASE REVIEW YOUR STORE VIDEO AND FIND OUT 1)WHY THERE ARE TWO PILES OF CAULIFLOWER, 2)WHO LEFT ONE PILE WITH PRICE, AND THE OTHER PILE BLANK
Again, I am seeing the two more senior female cashier staffs not only not acknowledging the system errors but putting the blame to the customers
I am writing this review to call for the management's attention on their staff training and an accurate price synchronization and validation system given there are 4 stores in NJ.
The staffs at the juicebar are always friendly and helpful. In general, it is a nice neighborhood convenient health food store.
