47 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies in Oakland

“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“

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

“Great Natural Smoothies!“

“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!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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®“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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)“

“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.“

“Love it. I can.actually.taste the ginger and beets and that's important. I will continue to purchase more from Costco.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Good croissant sandwiches. Yum Yum“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place to go to grab something to eat. Either solo or with company. Very nice service and the food was outstanding! I got the breakfast burrito! They have parking in the back of the restaurant so you don't have to pay for meterd parking (if you don't want too).“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“im a brokeass student and everyday is a living hell for me because of the hotass weather plus my horrible grades😭😭

i went to QTea Bar for the first time and honestly - ITS NOT BAD FOR A PERSON WHO ONLY HAS $10 AT THE MOMENT LIKE ME.

basically, its a small place - however they offer a lot of items on their menu! the one on the picture is the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba, which costed $7 dollars (I DROPPED MY JAW AT THE PRICE, BUT ITS FINE I GUESS?)

i chose Normal sweetness level and was expecting a nice sugar level, but was instantly kicked with a flavor that felt like 10 spoons of sugar on my mouth😭💔

i suggest letting it dilute for a little bit and drinking it, because the sugar really was kicking me 🫩

im used to the “normal” amount if sugar level since im a sugar-tooth, but if youre an adult, i suggest 50-75% sugar - also the toppings (boba, etc) are $0.50 — which is an okay price

the employees are super nice, they only had 2 people working at the time i was there - so i believe its a small business run by them

overall; great service, nice menu, small place but functional!

5/5 in my opinion, if i were bias, id give 3.5/5, but they were kind :)“

“So great to have a truly independent cafe like this in Montclair. I usually get either an americano or a drip coffee, and the prices are very reasonable. Thank you Paddington Cafe. Also, the owner is a fascinating person, she is a decorated veteran and some of her insignia are on the walls.“

“Great service Clean Food was amazing“

“Avotoasty has amazing coffee and fast internet!“

“Your standard Jamba experience. Staff is nice and friendly. Everything's clean. Some seating available. No toilet but there is a Peets next door.Convenient location if you're at the redwood center to do shopping or pick up your medication or other activities here.“

“I love Jamba Juice. I love the selection and the people who work here. It’s very clean and the staff are super polite. The customers are friendly here too. It’s a little expensive but they have such great smoothies. I started to make my own smoothies due to the price but I’ll always go for my favorite smoothie as a treat.“

“The young lady who helped me asked if today was my first time in. When I told her it was, she walked me through the menu and recommended a few things based on what I like. I ordered the Green RX. It was delicious! Clean, fast, friendly experience...I will be going back“

“Quick friendly customer service! My iced mocha was bomb!“

“My Mini pie was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Can I have these shipped? if so, please have someone reach out to me via messenger!“

“Nice place & delicious food 😋😋 🥘👍“

“I’ve been coming here for 7+ years and the food has always been high quality, delicious, and well portioned. Can’t go wrong with their salads and recently I’ve learned the paninis are fantastic as well. I will say it’s good to order online and pickup, and leave a little time buffer as they can get pretty busy over the lunch rush. The staff can get really busy but they’ve always been helpful and courteous.“

“Awesome I had the grapefruit and orange drink and I can't wait to come back to try something else. My youngest daughter loved the Oreo shake, my oldest daughter loved her chai tea and their dads kiwi slushy was also delicious. I'd love to try their ice creams next and can't wait for another hot day to come in.“

“All fresh ingredients are so good.Noce Customer Service #BLM“

“This place is sensational,fast, quick stress free service,always a pleasant peaceful atmosphere and easy going delightful and helpful staff all the time,my daughter's go to anytime we are taking walks around Lakeshore or shopping,☺️we will always enjoy this place as our #1,thank you!!!“

“Soooo good. The mozzarella tomato basil sandwich was very good and the caramel macchiato was the best I've ever had. The beignets are big and definitely worth the price. And the crepes are amazinggggg. I will be back if I ever find myself in the Bay area again!“

“The price and size were very reasonable, and employee's were super nice (although they asked if we were related to our cousin for some reason, kinda strange but friendly). The boba and teas were delicious, and they had plenty of yummy options to choose from. They also had some food options, although we didn't try the meat thing our cousin got, cause we're vegetarian. Made my day better, so glad I went. This place is so much better than Boba Guys, which is just down the street. Do not try to go there, it won't be good. great place to get boba at RareTea!“

“Sizzling � with blackened sauce was highly exceptional. This Moorish Asiatic shall return.“

“Refreshing tea. Good customer service. It's a great community of people.“
