49 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Alameda

“We tried Mango and Mint in Alameda for the first time on a Sunday afternoon, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The portion size was amazing for the price huge and definitely worth it, especially I love veggies! I ordered the grilled lemongrass pork chop with rice, and it was flavorful. Few seating capacity but that is totally fine since it it kinda quick service set-up.

The Thai milk tea was just how I like it rich with tea flavor, not overly sweet. We also had the pineapple coconut smoothie, and you could really taste the mint and kale refreshing and fun!

Service was great & the staff was friendly, and the menu is simple, with plenty of drink options. Overall, it’s such a wonderful local find a true underrated spot in Alameda.

I just hope the serving sizes stay consistent because everything we ordered tasted great. We’ll definitely be back!“

“One of our favorite shops here in the East Bay. We love their açai bowls as much as their smoothies. Everything is organic which is how we like to eat. They also sell lots of conventional snacks, seeing that they're located right next to the high school, like salami, cheese and cracker snack packs, prepackaged deli items like potato and pasta salad, basic premade sandwiches like turkey or ham, and cubed fruit.“

“Best for their fruit teas (not milk teas) tho they run sweet. Some of my favs include Lychee bomb (which includes real lychee bits) and Ruby Passion (Guava, Passionfruit green tea with Aloe),

For non caffeinated options, I like their smoothies, such as peach passion

Also have great tater tots and decent popcorn chicken.“

“Top quality in the area, doesn't compare to crazy Michelin restaurants in San francisco or 5 star resorts such as local 4 seasons or the Ritz Carlton. They have a long way to live up to the freshness and quality at this place. I don't understand why bay area can't make simple quality food like this place. Chefs literally go to school to learn how to cook crap but not this place. A hidden gem 💎 and gives an overseas vibe in quality. Also value is unbelievable and makes you wonder how other 'top rated' local restaurants charge double and triple and manage to present inedible garbage. This place gives hope and shows that its possible to make real food im this area without the need for making loud statements 'true food kitchen' 'real food' exc. Bay area restaurants($300-$500 per meal) royally disappoint. This place is like a beacon of hope and one would be a fool to give anything lower than a 5 star here but hey those fools support the overrated bay area garbage restaurants.

Keep it up. You guys are simply quality and there are people that really appreciate and understand your quality. Keep it seasonal, whatever produce is in season and quality rather than adhering to a menu out of season achieved by compromising produce quality like other places.“

“This is my first time being in Alameda, California 94501. The drink was good. And the person who greet me and my boyfriend was nice to us. The wait wasn’t that long not to me. I like the music that they played. I ordered strawberry matcha latte with no ice due to me wearing braces. And I order strawberry shortcake for my boyfriend. And we both love it a lot. Overall it’s an A+“

“Love it..i always go there every other day“

“Raretea. The name drew me in. I ordered the Matcha Rose Tea and asked for it to be made with oatmilk.It was Deliciously Different! I felt I had a taste of Oriental Specialness!Two layers of green matcha tea and pink rose tea with rose petals at the bottom. Not only was the drink deliciously different, it was Beautiful! I'm stuck on that Matcha Rose Tea.Have ordered anything else. Yet.?“

“Come check it out, it's a cozy place!“

“The smoothie was delicious. Seriously good. Watched them slice open the fruit, juice it, and then mix it in. I had #11 ‘power horse’ which layers awesome flavors and a ginger kick that’s just right. It’s a local shop- the guys running it were very friendly, and it takes a little time- 10min ish- to make. And the price was very reasonable too. Dang.“

“A bit on the pricey side but taste amazing ive gone many times usually very consistent and all the workers are very nice I did end up spilling my drink because the lids suck bad since my second drink (they so kindly remade) lid also came off multiple times overall it taste as good as it looks. its just a pick up situation so not really seating“

“Great Natural Smoothies!“

“The mixes are Great!! Smooth taste and great customer service 🙏🏿🖤“

“If you’re searching for a health-minded refreshment spot that’s both community-oriented and irresistibly delicious, Zenful Juice in Oakland delivers in spades. This vibrant juice bar and café crafts tasty, raw, and organic beverages and snacks that not only nourish your body and mind—but also cater beautifully to diverse dietary lifestyles. Everything can be made gluten-free and vegan at no extra cost, which is such a thoughtful touch!
We were beyond thrilled (and SO grateful) to receive a generous donation of Zenful Juice drinks at our event. Straight-up, they were bright, fresh, and phenomenal. But when people started mixing them with sparkling water… wow. They became bubbly, refreshing, and downright addictive!
And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Zenful Juice also gifted us chocolate-covered strawberries—white, dark, and milk chocolate, each wrapped around huge, perfectly ripe berries. Decadent, luscious, and unforgettable. Together, the drinks and treats elevated our fundraiser and helped make it truly special.
Working with Zenful Juice was a dream—their staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely community-minded. I can’t wait to return as a patron and dive into more of their menu (the avocado toast is calling my name!).
Simply put, Zenful Juice is so much more than a juice bar. They’re a thoughtful community ally, offering creative, customizable, and nourishing delights—all delivered with warmth and care. Whether for events, a casual visit, or a wellness boost, they’re simply outstanding.“

“Fresh Beef.Patty was very good definitely worth the visit along with fresh made smoothie“

“The owners and this store are so professional and outgoing. We were welcomed with a positive and kind energy. We got to try their vitamin C and pomegranate juice and they were both so fresh and delicious. They have almost everything from delicious pure natural fruit/veggie smoothies and juices to fruits/nuts and more! They appear to be family owned and a small business. Be sure to support them if you’re in the area!!!“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“I’m so excited when a new smoothie place opens. This place has the best snacks too tho with empanadas, sandwiches etc. I got a heavenly dew smoothie😭😭😭🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥it is so good omg it is like somehow birthday cake flavor and there was a mistake either the app ordering so they gave me a free cupcake 😂. Everyone is nice here, great ingredients and I will definitely be back.“

“Warm, inviting, clean, friendly staff & fast service. The manager was training the ladies on a new menu item (mozzarella bites) & he allowed me to try one. I immediately added the bites to my order because they were tasty & hot. My dragon fruit bowl did not disappoint either. I normally order an açaí bowl but I needed more vitamin c. The bowl was delicious, fresh ingredients & ready within 2 minutes.“

“Great burritos and service. The pozole (ask for toppings) was delicious. Mostly, I loved sitting at the counter and having a beautiful bay breeze hit my face while having lunch. Oakland as it is. Everyday life is romantic if you can stop and experience it.“

“Healthy & freshly pressed juices, cold brew/nitro coffee, nut mylks & Super power elixirs!!“

“Their “Classic Pineapple Coconut” is a FANTASTIC juice. Sugar bomb? Yes, of course. Super sweet? Yeah. But it’s so rich and thick without any funny ingredients it amazes me. It’d be the perfect mixer for a tropical cocktail and it’s a favorite treat after my long runs where 50g of sugar is helpful.“

“As a huge fans of acai bowl or any smoothie bowls, I really recommend this place. Among smoothie bowl places that i’ve been visited in Bay Area, this place has one of the most aesthetically pleasing bowls. The price is a bit higher compare to other smoothie bowl places, but it is worth it since they offer great variety of topping. The taste and the texture are okay. For me, I have anothe smoothie bowl place that I like more than this place in term of the taste, however, aesthetically-wise this palm-acai cafe is the winner“

“So good! Found this spot when I was in the Town and craving a banh mi. I ordered the combo and a bbq pork. Both did not disappoint. Tastes super fresh - meat, veggies and bread were on par with b mi’s in SJ. I hope they continue to make amazing food like this. As long as they do, I will be a frequent customer. The East Bay needs more delicious Viet spots like this.“

“Literally only smoothies i order are from here, because of the service & great ingredients so i always recommend this great Location👌🏻 . Also its nice that If you want to sip in peace also a nice Patio with lots of plants 🪻🪴🌺“

“Love, love, loooove this cafe! Nomad is everything that you could ever want in a local neighborhood cafe! They’ve got delicious drinks, incredible food, outstanding service, great vibes, and they know their customers. I’ve been coming here for quite sometime now and I’ve never had a bad experience here.

My ultimate fave: Enjoying their chai latte and a pork chop banh mi on the patio. This combo is a win-win for me every single time. Recently, I’ve branched out of my norm and have become obsessed with their matcha latte and other banh mi’s as well. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything that you try here. It’s always gonna be the bomb.com!

What really seals the deal for me is the excellent customer service. The staff is so sweet and efficient. The owner Bee is an absolute gem! That fact that he remembers me and goes out of his way to say hi even when he’s busy working is truly an honor. I’m writing this review as I’m sitting here on the patio having lunch because I’m just so impressed.

Thank you to Bee and the wonderful staff of Nomad Cafe who make coming here so enjoyable! The neighborhood (and I) truly appreciate you all!“

“Wonderful place! ☕️ The coffee is excellent – rich and flavorful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, creating a cozy atmosphere. Everything is clean and well-kept, making it a pleasant spot to relax. 🪑🥪 The sandwiches and snacks are fresh and delicious, with great salads and smoothies to choose from. A perfect mix of quality, comfort, and service — definitely a place you’ll want to come back to!“

“My daughter loves this place so much. The açaí bowl is incredible! She orders it often, and it never fails to brighten her day.

The online ordering lets her put it in and grab on the go. It feels healthy and satisfying and given the price of everything these days, it’s fair! Plus locally owned. Highly recommend.“

“Never did I think I would pay this much for juice…but it’s not just juice! It’s Life! Between this and my Vertuo and Original Line Nespresso machines! I’m in heaven!“

“I never write reviews; I adore this place. Excellent craft coffee, cute little store front, and the energy of the whole place and the woman who runs it always puts me in such a good mood to start the day. If you aren’t sure if you’ve had striking, interesting, and well brewed coffee, get a natural roast for pour over with no milk or sugar (but be prepared for something different than you’re used to)“

“OMG just go! Go for takeout. Go eat there and be patient. The food is outstanding. So many beautiful flavors. My favorites are the ginger chicken (sumptuous like stew, with rice), fried rice (totally surprised us how rich and delicious and tender it is), THE WINGS (BEST in bay), chicken salad (it's basically chicken, not a salad with some chicken). Everything we've tried is sooooooooooo good! Festive atmosphere fun crowd nice patio!“

“I enjoyed visiting Cha Thai tea! The employees are always very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations. I really enjoyed this drink (I think it was a coconut avocado special? I forgot to look at the exact name of the drink) and pandan custard toast. I also enjoyed the mango coco the previous time I came here. They have a smaller, simpler menu that's not too overwhelming but the ingredients seem very fresh and tasty! I'll definitely be back!“

“😍Professional, courteous and friendly staff who took the time to explain the quality ingredients of our food and drink order. Thank you!“

“Great organic and delicious wraps burritos and plates thank you 😊“

“Bowls are good for the soul“

“Absolutely my favorite little coffee shop. It’s ran by the most lovely brown mamas who’s loving energy radiates into everything they do. Super queer friendly and the most amazing Chipotle Sandwich and Cafe de olla around.“

“The classes are fun and energetic, the staff super nice, and I love getting to grab a healthy snack after class!“

“My second time here love their smoothie fresh veggies and fresh fruit. The service was amazing very helpful with my picky self i couldn’t decide all I know it was hot and I needed some refreshing drinks I just told her what I like and she made me an amazing green drink and I get to watch her put the ingredients together and yep they it was all fresh fruit and vegetables.“

“I found this gem on my way to Vallejo and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! This has an Oakland vibe, the smoothie was all organic, the açai bowl was fresh, and I could tell they probably source their ingredients locally. I loved the music as well! Finally, the shop itself had a cozy vibe. Love this place and will be back!“

“Good croissant sandwiches. Yum Yum“

“it is small shop which touch screen kiosk to order near Oakland Chinatown. Practically you have to wait for the person in front of you finish their order before you get it. it might fit max 4 to 5 people. There are plenty option from the menu. You can choose sweet option.
The drink is pretty good. The price is reasonable.“

“The employees are nice and quick! I bought a pumpkin coffee machine and I didn’t like the flavor. The female employee happily offered alternative options without an issue. The store is kept clean. I don’t like the high prices on the items! But it’s great to know the employees are quick and helpful regarding any issue.“

“What Primavera does really well that lots of other sandwich shops overlook is their bread - it's fantastic here. The portions are generous and good selection, including delicious veggie options.

This isn't a fancy sandwich shop, it's a real-deal simple, satisfying meal at a fair price. Evidenced by the droves of students that frequent it. Support family owned businesses!“

“Incredible staff, very dog-friendly, terrific menu! You will be thrilled! Angela“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Zees Munchies Truck is an absolute gem! The crêpes are really, really good—perfectly made, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. They are very generous with portions, so you definitely get your money’s worth. Everything tastes fresh, rich, and satisfying without being overwhelming. Great flavors, great presentation, and friendly service. If you’re craving something sweet, this food truck is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is the best boba place in Berkeley. The lady working here is so nice and she even gave my friend a free drink for his birthday! If you ever pull up here make sure to get the grape sparkling or any of the Thai tea. Their sushi roll is also amazing. I swear you won’t be disappointed :)

P.S. this was the drink that my friend requested“

“This place is SO SLEPT ON! This review is only for the popcorn chicken.

Ever since I moved from SoCal to the Bay Area, I’ve been trying to find a popcorn chicken spot that meets all my requirements: has to have basil, use chicken dark meat, super crispy, fresh, consistent, and reasonably price.

This is THE SPOT! And the pricing is so good especially in this economy. Half size is decent portion for $7.55 and Full size is $10.25.

The service is as good as it gets - people generally do takeout. You order on the monitor outside or can do mobile order, and they’ll text you when your order is ready, which really helps if you’re struggling to find a parking spot.

Parking is typical in Chinatown - it’s usually bustling and packed but no one is going to give you shit if you emergency park on the street haha.

The inside of the place has some snacks and candy. You CAN sit down and eat there but it’s not the best dining spot and there’s a lot of clutter.

In my opinion, drinks and boba are pretty mid. It does the job but nothing amazing.

My go-to spot for popcorn chicken though ❤️“
