8 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Wood River

“I love delivering at these smaller companies with few dock doors. They get right on unloading you. It's much better than the huge distributuon centers with a hundred or more doors, which sometimes make drivers wait for a few hours. Staff at this place knows how tricky the blind side backing can be, so they guide you through it expertly with hand signals until you're lined up straight with the dock door. They also tell you where to turn around when you're ready to leave the dock door, so you don't try making a left turn into a telephone pole as you pull away from the dock. The turnaround area is a little small for an 18 wheeler, but doable. You might want your tandems slid all the way forwards when turning around after leaving the dock. Staff was friendly and helpful. They even unloaded me on a day that was a day early according to their schedule, but which was the correct day according to my company. That allowed me to get to my other stop ok. I appreciate it.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I took my kids to Source Juicery in Edwardsville for my birthday after a few friends recommended it—and WOW, what an amazing experience! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful from the moment we walked in. You can tell they genuinely care about the food and the people they serve. The highlight? The smoothie bowls! Absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My kids loved them just as much as I did. It felt like such a treat, but also so nourishing. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday, and I’m already looking forward to going back. Highly recommend Source Juicery for anyone looking for delicious, healthy food served in a great environment!“

“1 day juice cleanse from cj juice Ty in Alton Illinois make sure you stop in!“

“The thin mint cookies n cream shake will take that ice cream craving away, it’s taste so good but a much healthier option. The teas are great too! Katie at 618 Nutrition is a real honest small business owner who cares about others! Katie is a great health-advocate and so lovable!“

“This place is amazing!! I lived in Virginia Beach for 10 years and I loved going to tropical smoothie. We moved back to Edwardsville, Illinois 2 years ago and I really missed this place. Then I was driving around the other day and I saw that this place was here and I am SOOOO excited!! I just tried it out today and it did not disappoint! Yay!“

“This smoothie king had always had friendly and professional workers. The food is efficiently and freshly made. Today they were having computer problems, but they advised me of the issue so I would understand the added wait time. Clearly they were prepared to make adjustments and keep the store running! Definitely my go-to place for an early morning expresso almond mocha!“

“I scoot through here pretty regularly. The staff are always quick and polite, and the drinks are always good! I'm a but addicted to the Chai, in all honesty. But the other day, I tried to come through for my usual only to find the place was closed. A sign was posted on the drive-thru intercom that read: "Sorry, closed due to high temperatures within the building".

At first, I was a bit disappointed. I was really looking forward to a little treat before I went into work. But after a bit, I was actually glad to see that.

It's felt frighteningly common for businesses to put profit over employee wellbeing these days. I used to be a pizza delivery driver, and I still have memories of being forced to deliver food during a harsh winter storm in 2016. It was so refreshing to see employees being prioritized over profit, even for just a little bit.

Here's sincerely hoping Scooters continues this behavior, and more businesses follow suit.“
