If you ordered Fresh Orange Juice

[EvergreenForest]

Real situation....in a coffee shop now.

On the fence about this.

Very artisanal place, fresh cakes etc. menu says 'fresh orange juice'

What would you expect to be served?

I've just looked at the bottle of orange juice I have in the fridge at the moment. It's Sainsbury's Finest and the label says "freshly squeezed". Which it obviously isn't as it's been in a bottle for a while. It's delicious though.

So, even "freshly squeezed" won't mean "squeezed right here, right now".

I'd expect unpasteurised and not from concentrate, with bits. Like the Tesco finest one.

If it tastes awful you should send it back. It looks suspiciously brown in your picture, but maybe that is just the lighting.

Divide the price by 5 and ask yourself what that would get you in the supermarket.

YABU for going into a wanky place that charges through the nose for clap. 😁

@Cocacolacazza. So true! Offering juice is just offering a drink. 'Aye, tap please' gets me what I want.

I would have expected the 'not from concentrate' type, probably from a bottle or carton.

It doesn't say 'freshly squeezed' so I wouldn't be expecting that.

I can't bear orange juice with bits in so I wouldn't ask for freshly squeezed. Ugh!

Orange juice freshly juiced that morning.
Or, I would accept, at a push, some of the M and S bottled freshly squeezed juice - I've seen staff at our local cafe rush out to get some.

...and always ask for it without ice if you know it's the good stuff 😏

If it said "freshly squeezed orange juice" I would expect freshly squeezed orange juice"
Fresh orange juice can mean anything right from the starting point of "it's within it's best before date and it does not smell/taste off

I would've been caught too. Now I know!

Pasteurised I would send back, I don't even buy it from the supermarket as it's not worth the money.

I always ask now (previous experience).

The Cola glass would kill me more! 😂

Freshly squeezed from oranges on site.

I would expect some kind of pasteurised bottled thing - like Tropicana - freshly squeezed on site usually specifies if 'squeezed'.
Some places use bottled freshly squeezed from wholesaler that's unpasteurised and needs to be used pretty quickly, which I'd also be happy with.

The fresh squeezed in bottles is generally good. M&S, Tesco Finest etc. M&S is £2.75 for a litre so a cafe could get 3 x glasses (330ml) and £8.40. I'd really want to see one of those proper juicers that slices and squeezes the oranges. I once had this issue at a 5 * hotel in London who pulled a Sainsburys bottle out of their fridge and prob charged me £5. I made it known i wasnt impressed with that

From the colour it looks like the stuff you get in long life cartons which as a child I loved. These days I only like 'not from concentrate' smooth!

Small bottle of Tropicana.

Which is why I wouldn't buy it from somewhere like that in the first place.

it looks disgusting and fake orange colour, like Sunny D!

Thanks again. It did have a white frothy ring around the top of it but I'm not sure it was off. I think it just didn't taste nice as it simply was something cheap from a carton.

I defo don't even think it was freshly squeezed supermarket bottle.

But anyway, lesson learnt. Maybe I'll stick to the greasy spoon near me instead!! (I should note the homemade cake I had was superb so that sort of made up for it!)

I would expect juice which had not been previously frozen or reconstituted. I would not expect oranges to have been squeezed on the premises.

The fact it says fresh would make me think its come directly out of an orange.

I mean, otherwise its just orange juice isn't it?

They really put 'fresh' orange juice? Whats the alternative anyway? Orange juice thats been knocking about for 6 weeks and therefore 'off'.

Although sounds like you got the off one OP if it tastes grim.

I'd expect freshly squeezed, maybe one of those machines where you see the oranges in a queue waiting to meet their maker?
