50 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies in San Francisco

“Still the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had. I live nearby so I discovered it by random chance, but recently I’ve been trying açaí at other places around the city/while traveling out of town and nothing has come close despite me wanting to find something that comes close. The staff is so friendly too and they always bring it out super fast. The açaí base has the best texture (maybe they sweeten it maybe they mix in banana or cream but I personally am not looking for 100% açaí so I wouldn’t mind if they were) and the nut butters and granola are amazing.“

“This is so delicious!! It’s ginger makes it spicy, yet sweet. I wish I had known about this juice sooner, since I’m moving away from San Francisco:( Though the bottle is 9 oz. it’s still a substantial drink! So delicious and gives me energy!“

“Acai bowls are really tasty, although kind of expensive. That's SF for you! The ingredients seem high quality and the portions are generous so it's worth it as a treat. It would be nice if they have a couple small tables instead of no seating, but we typically take our bowls to duboce park.The guy who almost always seems to be working there is friendly, which I appreciate.

Vegetarian options: It's all smoothies and juices so unless there are any super surprises it should all be vegetarian and probably mostly vegan

Kid-friendliness: No kids menu, do your kids like smoothies and acai?“

“Fresh and yummy!“

“Great little ice cream shop, they have a great selection of ice creams, as well as hot and cold drinks. The ice creams are some of the best I have ever had, and they do a great hot fudge sundae. The service is great, prices are good and I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the Fishermans Wharf area of San Francisco.“

“store location is clean freshly made drinks and open sandwiches good corner location“

“Best place to eat before and after workout. Juices helps in boosting our immune system, weight loss and multiple else factor.“

“Wonderful food and people. Thank you!“

“Excellent fresh, speedy, abundant and delicious service!☺️“

“store location is clean freshly made drinks and open sandwiches good corner location“

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

“prices seem a bit high but the portions are huge. Get the large for best value. Paying cash? click cred on the self checkout and you will then get a pop up to pay cash instead and save 5%“

“My absolute go-to spot on campus!
Incredibly good food, everything's made fresh and they are so fast. I can really recommend the special sandwiches or wraps for a healthy and tasty lunch. Or a toasted bagel if ur rushing to class. And the açaí will make your day! Have never found a better one anywhere else. Also love the staff, they always make me smile.“

“The large açaí bowl is huge and keeps me full most of the day. The fruit is fresh and good quality.

This place has been slammed every time I come in but the employees are always working hard to keep up with orders without cutting corners or getting short with customers. If you’re in a rush, I recommend ordering ahead for pickup.

The shop is small, just big enough for people to order and stand waiting along the wall. It’s clean and the rainbow flags are a friendly touch.“

“We're in San Francisco fir a conference. Ate here everyday this week!“

“💗 the chakra tonics, especially heart & solar plexus.“

“I came across here on a beautiful day and was craving for some ice cream. Was greeted and welcomed by one of their friendly staffs, she explained to me they offer ice cream and gelatos and the different flavors they carry. They also have many things to choose from, such as sundaes, milkshakes, boba drinks, smoothies, mangonadas, etc. It’s a cool little spot in the neighborhood that definitely attracts customers like myself. Definitely will be back!“

“Love all their products! I have been on the East Coast for the past 3 weeks...no Juice Shop has come close to Juice Shop SF in terms of quality and taste...can’t wait to get back to SF and Marin...💕💕💕“

“I love coming to Pressed! Josh, Cass, Harrison, and Karen make my day with their charming energy and phenomenal recommendations!

They had these big ol ads covering the doors (which was a shame) but now their new door ads leave enough room that we can see their smiling faces inside!

Could not recommend this place enough!“

“Damn good hot dog, super fast, friendly service. Limited indoor seating but there's a parklet with outdoor tables as well. Perfect for when you're running late and just realized the venue you're going to doesn't serve food.“

“Randomly stopped by this cafe while I was passing through Sunset. I ordered oolong black tea with boba and thought it was OK. Friend got popcorn chicken and that was pretty tasty. I liked
how the cafe space had two levels. Prices were very reasonable too. Parking was a bit tricky since it’s located in a neighborhood area.“

“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!“

“A hidden cafe gem in the Sunset/Parkside neighborhood serving authentic Guatemalan coffee.

Staff there are nice and friendly and the inside of the cafe is beautifully decorated and welcoming.

I recommend getting their banana cream latte, one of the best lattes I've had in all of SF. Great prices and quality for what you're getting.“

“Typical jamba juice experience but either there is a markup at this location or the cost of the drinks have gone up! 10$ for a medium smoothie is very high. May as well get a burrito. The drinks are good though and the staff was friendly and patient.“

“We enjoyed a few items. Tacos, Burritos, Sandwich, cheesecake and smoothies. All the food was served quickly despite being steady. All the food items were excellent especially the portobello tacos(Tuesday). The smoothie was delicious and cold and the cheesecake was vanilla and delicious. The staff were friendly, courteous, helpful and patient. Get your butts down here folks and Tip bigly. ✌️🌱🐾🎼💚🕺I“

“we are from San Diego and found this place on yelp. The name itself peaked my interest. must say, sandwiches, spring rolls, Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. will come back soon.“

“Great juices and the best almond milk around. Fair prices for all the juices and juice shots with very good daily specials, like 6 for $30.00, almost $3.00 off per almond milk. This is an excellent juice shop, unlike Juice Project on Chestnut Street, which is terrible and overpriced too.“

“Wonderful restaurant with many delicious options buffet style (shrimp salad and fried pork are especially good). Sadly it has been hounded by building management (which has unsuccessfully sued them multiple times to try to break the lease and redevelop the arcade) so it is great to support them.“

“BEST MONGONADAS IN THE BAY!!! Very clean establishment and super friendly staff.“

“​Yu's Cafe is a good spot for unique treats at very reasonable prices. It is located in Chinatown, beside a park. Their Coffee Cheese is absolutely delicious.

​The warm red bean dessert is another winner, delicious whether you order it hot or cold. The cafe uses an efficient touch screen ordering service, but the friendly staff are always there to provide warm service. Great value, great flavor!“

“Always a good experience, everything is very good especially their TaroMatcha drink, one of my favorites. Rated 4 stars though I'm pretty bummed out we drove 20 minutes because I really didn't want to leave the city without getting one of my favorite drinks. Got their 20 minutes before closing just to be told that they stopped making drinks 30 minutes before they close. Let them know that's pretty messed up especially since it's not stated anywhere and drove all the way there for nothing. Was only told to come by 1 hr before closing lol wanted it so bad I could taste it 😭 if you know you know.“

“Small restaurant with a good selection.It's less crowded compared to Cafe Rosso, which is close by, but way more busy. I recommend getting a street style taco plate. It costs about $10, but will cost $3 more if you choose beef. You get three tacos, rice, and beans, and some sauces. It's enough to fill you up if you're really hungry. In an earlier visit, I had a Taza original smoothie which cost $6.46 after tax. It tasted fruity and slightly bitter. There were also peanut butter smoothies. There were tables and chairs if you'd like to sit. If you're in a hurry and just want a drink, there's a drink fridge. Everything is pricier than from the cafes around SFSU, but seems to be not much better. I recommend sticking to their foods if you decide to spend money here.“

“We’ve worked with Ruru Kitchen on several large catering orders for our office, and they’ve been an absolute dream to work with. The team is responsive, organized, and always on time. They make the entire process incredibly easy - from helping us plan a thoughtful, delicious menu that accommodates all dietary needs, to setting everything up beautifully on the day. Our employees always rave about the food, they are a huge hit every time. The personal touches really shine through, and they always work with us to stay within our budget. I’m so grateful for their partnership and can’t wait to work with them again for our next event!“

“Wow. What a delicious cake 🎂 we ordered. Everyone should try their desserts, they are absolutely amazing!“

“Love no 4 and 5...not to sweet and they have nice pandan cake too.“

“Friendly staff. Happy to find this place open later in the day on a weekday compared to the places around. They were out of black tea at the time but did have a hibiscus substitute for the Arnold Palmer. Very clean with little books and shared seating.“

“Best juices ever! I appreciate the free samples so I know what I want to buy.“

“Everything pops of flavor. Only the freshest of organic fruits and greens 🥬 used!“

“One of my favorite cafés in all of California!!! … I have recently done a few profiles of it on my Instagram coffeehouse page: California Coffee Adventures!“

“I am from Brazil and a frequent visitor to Padoca. The service is top-notch, and the coxinhas, esfihas, and pastries are always delicious. The cheese bread reminds me of the cheese bread from Minas Gerais; everything is simply delightful. They are very authentic!

I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to relive a taste of Brazil or learn about some Brazilian foods/ snacks. Not to mention the brigadeiros (chocolate treat), which are excellent! (coming from a brigadeiro addict).

Our American friends love the cheese bread (pão de queijo), cheese pastel, coxinhas, overall pastries, and of course, açaí, guaraná , or coffee.“

“Surprise root canal procedure (the wife's) at the dentist next door meant I was stranded in the city, early. No time for coffee or a snack at home. So while wifey was in the chair, I was free to search out a cappuccino and breakfast. Cafe Encore totally scored. Excellent cappuccino, tasty bagel sandwich, charming/delightful owner. Highly recommended. Re the comments here about the longish wait, I say slow down, enjoy the ride. You won't regret Cafe Encore.“

“good food, good service and the staff is so cool!“

“Nice and relaxing place. Wish they have more food choices“

“I luckily stumbled upon this spot hidden along the Geary corridor that offers delicious, comforting Brazilian bites like coxinha (those savory, teardrop-shaped croquettes filled with shredded chicken) right alongside your morning brew. The fresh acai bowls is the ideal kind of breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up that genuinely brightens my day. It adds such a unique and delightful twist to the usual coffee shop fare, making it a true culinary gem.

And of course, it wouldn't be a coffee shop review without mentioning the coffee itself! The cappuccinos get a special shout-out for being perfectly crafted – rich, smooth, and just what you need to kickstart your day or enjoy a quiet moment.

Beyond the food and drinks, what really comes through is the atmosphere. It's a place where you can genuinely relax, whether you're catching up with friends, getting some work done, or simply enjoying a moment of peace, Not just serving coffee and food; they're serving up a genuinely delightful experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Good food Hong Kong styles good prices great Asian drinks friendly service“

“Wonderfully authentic milk teas etc..boba perfect..always remember you but now Yvonne is down in financial district shop..have not been there but here on Geary..it’s the best tea around..try the salty whip cream as well..very well done! Recc. highly..“

“Delicious tortas at reasonable prices! I especially love the salsa roja. I'm not sure what the other review was complaining about seating because there's three tables, bar seating, and public seating around the block.

Wheelchair accessibility: The door was propped open and the tables are at wheelchair height. No steps nor big ramps.“

“Was around the area for a quick errand and craved boba. Found this spot due to the reviews. I ordered Taro boba and French Connection Crepe. The taro boba is on the sweeter side (no custom sugar %) but the boba is pretty good!! Crepe was also delicious! Nice little hole in the wall!“

“Honestly the best boba spot in the city. It’s a nice little boba shop in the neighborhood and near the beach. Their boba actually tastes fresh and drinks are so good. The mango one tastes amazing and for the taro one they have actual taro with it! Great kind people/service and comfy environment. Support your local boba spot!“
