The X2

1380 H St NE; future home of Turning Natural juice bar. Earlier this year, I visited Turning Natural , a vegan friendly juice bar on Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE. I remember thinking how great the staff was and how good the food (well, juice) was and that I wanted to visit again. Luckily, I won't have to go far next time. Turning Natural is bringing a similar concept store to 1380 H St NE in the former Ohio Restaurant space. Permits are up on site and the build-out is happening as we speak. No word on the opening date or exact format, but Turning Natural did say that the H Street concept would be dope, which has me pretty excited: @TheX2BusDC we love you too! This one will be an even doper concept! 😜 can't wait for you all to see! — Turning Natural (@TurningNatural) November 19, 2016 Here's a look at the current menu . I would love to see the vegan food menu at the new location, and of course the juices and smoothies, too. Good luck Turning Natural!  Read m
