50 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Kensington

“We showed up because we heard alot of good things about this new addition to the old town of Kensington, at adds a little more flavor and spice to the historic area. Very nice staff, smiley, helpful and quick service with a smile! The area has a lot of nice little shops and small walk in places to check out the relaxed atmosphere will lure you in but don't Ben fooled they are BUSY!!!“

“My absolute favorite bowl is the Pura Vida bowl. It consists of Playa Açaí topped with granola, blueberries, strawberries, and honey. I basically get it every time I go there. The staff is always great and very helpful. Any questions you may have, they will have the answer. The store is so cute and gives you a tropical vibe even though it's cold outside lol. They also have juice shots, fresh juices, smoothies, and light food you can purchase. Great way to start or end your day! Love this place!“

“Possibly the best food I’ve ever had in the DMV meets incredible service. They didn’t have the dessert we wanted, so they comped us the one we chose instead. Also, as someone who is sensitive to gluten, dairy, corn, and peanuts, eating out is often extremely tricky and limited, but I was able to choose from maybe 70% of their menu, which is super impressive. Great spot if you have dietary restrictions and want a lot of options.Just a note, you definitely want a reservation. This place is busy for a reason!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-, dairy-, and nut-containing options are clearly labeled. Ask about other restrictions if you have them.“

“Met friends here for lunch. With 6 of us, we had to be creative for seating. Indoors works for parties of 2, and outside are three tables for 4 people. Staff was super helpful making accommodations for an allergy in our group and personally delivering our food which provided confidence. I got a GF Breakfast Wrap, which was delicious and filling. Tasted the broccoli soup - love that the broccoli was whole - and sampled a muffin and energy ball. Everything was delicious. My friend got the burger, and was a little disappointed at the small size. But otherwise everyone was very happy. Nice outdoor seating area, tucked in the alley so it's a bit quieter. Bathroom was clean, and filtered water available at a self serve area. I'd be here all the time if I was a local! Really appreciate vegan food made from scratch that is healthy and not greasy.“

“It’s a cute, little bakery run by some lovely, wonderful people.I’m a pretty big guy who used to be overweight. My love for sugar is still very much present lol. That said, whenever I eat anything from here, I don’t feel that “guilt” or “shame” you feel when you prick up a candy bar.Everything that I’ve tried here is the perfect amount of sweet. Not too much, not too little. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without making your doctor cry at the amount of sugar you just ingested.It’s also very filling. I can easily eat 2-3 donuts from a donut shop. Meanwhile, I’ll be 3/4 of the way thru a pastry from this bakery and I’ll struggle to eat the rest. I want to eat the rest because they’re VERY delicious but it’s more than meets the eye.Also extremely well priced. The average for a single pastry or slice of cake seems to be right below $4 I think. Might be slightly off but the point is I didn’t feel like I was spending a lot. Again, for something that will fill a grown man up without being half your daily amount of calories in a single serving like some of these other sweets, this place is near impossible to beat.I love this place“

“I enjoyed the smoothies, the acai bowl was SO good! The flavor is great, the taste is amazing, and the service was ok for the amount of customers at the time, I wish the prices were slightly cheaper, but other than that it is a 5/5, peak!Vegetarian options: Very much alot of vegan options and bowls.“

“I was there today and the costumer service is great the people who works there are really friendly and nice.I’d order a mango slush and it was very refreshing and good.I definitely will come back thank you John and Mary for your service☺️“

“Finding Lulu’s was one of the best parts of our great vacation. Sakiynah and the nice gentleman at the door were incredibly hospitable, kind, and accommodating. The beverages, retail, and patio are A1. Everything is very clean. Definitely a little corner of heaven in DC. We can’t wait to visit Lulu’s the next time we’re in DC! Thank you Lulus!“

“Mumu is the greatest! The food is fresh and delicious and always has a special touch - like the deliciously seasoned potatoes on the side of the sandwiches. Also, the owner Jermaine is a great guy and always goes the extra mile. My favorite is the avocado caprese. You may think you’ve had a lot of avocado toast, but you’ve never had one as fresh and delicious as this one. Get over to Mumu on Langston Blvd underneath Moms - parking is easy, too!“

“Came here with my family for tacos were really try and give me only one lemon for for three tacos. The quesadillas were really good. They really big the drinks are for die for the food the sandwiches are not good, but they’re not that bad either the fries are hard“

“I love this place is very friendly and. Clean the customers service is amazing the dessert is the best test and the flavor I lover everything this place I recommend everyone can came trying the delicious Sweet Lemon Cafe ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“A small sandwich and smoothie shop that has fresh food and great values. My Classic BLT ($12.99) was huge and also had onions, cucumbers and lots of avocado. My Manapple Smoothie was nice and thick and refreshing. Located across the street from the Farragut West Metro.“

“This was my second Açaí Bowl experience, and my favorite! Look at that picture, the fruit is fresh and piled high! The granola was so good too! I should have drizzled some honey on the top or gotten some of the chocolate pieces. That would have set it off. But it was awesome as it comes. I am a sweet girlie, and the Açaí mixed with pineapple was perfect! The service was great, quick, easy, and friendly. The establishment was clean, I even had to use the restroom and that was clean too. I enjoyed sitting there to eat too, they have big windows to look out of which was nice.“

“I thought the food and generally the service was excellent, couple of things that I would have expected from a Michelin rated restaurant would be that they would have scraped off the table, remove the wine glass that you weren't using, and then turned over the table faster. Dirty plates stayed on the table for quite some time. Friendliness was never an issue but having over 60% empty tables at 6:30 on a Friday night seems a bit off. Recommend the Filet!“

“Whenever my significant other and I want to get acai bowls, we always find ourselves coming to this business. The first time I went here, I didn't know what to expect. I knew acai was good for you but I wasn't sure if it would taste good. I was pleasantly surprised. I have not had a bowl that I did not like. Even more so, I did not find out until recently that they had a skin care line. I absolutely adore skincare products so the fact they had specific items to help with skincare from the inside out got me ecstatic. The location is a small permanent stand in the union market area. There are a multitude of other businesses in the complex. It does tend to get a little crowded in the area during busy hours. If you are not a fan of crowds, I would highly suggest going during slow times and days because it can be very overwhelming. There is a decent amount of parking but because there are some many people that frequent the area, I personally do not feel there are enough spots. I know there is an underground parking garage but you will have to pay for that. That being said, I absolutely love everything about the food and the vibes and will find myself coming here for quite some time.“

“My friend and I happened upon this place yesterday. Chris (the owner) was there and answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. There were so many delicious-sounding options that it took us a while to order. However, we couldn't have been happier with our selections. I chose the Blue Moon bowl, and my friend chose the Tropical Acai bowl. Let me tell you, these bowls were substantial! I was very full when I finished, and enjoyed every bite. The fruit was fresh, the mix that it topped was perfect, and the presentation was top notch. I felt that the price was worth every penny. The atmosphere of the place was awesome as well. There was a throwback playlist from the late 90s going, and it took us back to our college days. Overall, the whole experience exceeded expectations. I actually didn't have any expectations, but if I had some, they would have been exceeded! I took my mom and sister there today and we got smoothies and Jamaican patties. Loved it all! This spot will definitely be in the regular rotation. Highly recommend. Five stars on everything. I love supporting businesses owned by Black people, and this is a wonderful business that I will be happy to give my money to.“

“My girls and I had brunch there. We all enjoyed the food. The kimchi rice was absolutely delicious!The space is small but clean and comfortable. It is helpful to ask directions at the front desk since you take an elevator to get there. Totally worth your time.“

“I visited Relish Market the other day to restock my sea moss that the owner sold me on. I can’t really explain the benefits that I have experienced from taking it other than I feel better! Glad I took the leap and bought it! My absolute fav food product is the Pepperly Crunch! Go get it but save me one! The cakes are so good I ate it in the car! Haha“

“After the gym, I like to go here and get healthy ingredients needed for my body. I come here towards the end of the day, but they are always respectful and nice people working there. Very delicious smoothies and bowls!Parking: Sometimes it’s hard to find parking on a busy day and might have to find parking around the shopping center.“

“I’ve been coming to the Union Market location for about a year mainly for breakfast most weekends and I keep returning. Why? Excellent food and drinks, strong coffee, outstanding service and a very nice ambiance. Luckily it’s across the street from my apartment building.Parking: There is a garage parking option a block away that is free for 3 hours, otherwise there's paid street parking available. Difficult to find street parking during busy times of the day. Easy in the mornings.Wheelchair accessibility: Street to restaurant access is easily accessible by wheelchairs with no steps involved. Front door is double wide; however, need to open manually. Staff will happily help open the doors.“

“This was my first time getting takeaway from Chill Zone on recommendation from family and friends. Overall, the food was delicious, the cafe was very cozy, and the service was great BUT I found a piece of what I assume was stainless steel wool in my vermicelli chicken bowl--I spotted it immediately upon opening the box, so quality control appears to be lacking. This was super disappointing because otherwise, this would've been a five-star experience.“

“Stumbled upon this place when trying to find some late lunch and was pleasantly surprised! We didn’t try the juices, but the tacos were so good and for pretty decent prices. It’s nice to sit outside when the weather is pleasant too. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Love this place!Started going to the one in Alexandria, now I’m making a habit of stopping in when I see them out and about! Great açaí bowls and smoothies with tons of options for customizations.This location was no different. Fast, friendly, and clean :)Vegan diets are difficult sometimes.Thank you for making it easy!“

“When they say lil, they mean it! This place is super small, so there is no place to sit inside. They have over 10 flavors to choose from, all very fun and funky. They also have root beer floats and coffee. We enjoyed our chocolate raspberry ice cream. Very reasonable pricing! You can park in the lot behind very easily.“

“A cozy little cafe that offers the perfect respite from the cold outside. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly, and the food is delicious! Wish I got to try more of the traditional Ethiopian selections on the menu, but all the more reason to go back ☺️“

“Delicious breakfast blt and pastries. Generously sized blt. Excellent, speedy service. Great atmosphere for a quick bite or to study. The sweeter, more elaborate coffee options and horchata looked very tempting. I'll have to try them next time.“

“my experience at Tropical Smoothie Cafe was nothing short of delightful. The combination of mouth-watering açaí bowls, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination for health-conscious foodies and smoothie enthusiasts alike. I highly recommend stopping by, whether you're in the mood for a revitalizing snack or a fulfilling meal. This cafe is a true gem that stands out for all the right reasons“

“i ordered a lychee black tea, which, at lower sweetness, had the perfect amount of sugar. the boba also tasted fresh, which is rare in the bigger chains in the area. service was also super quick--on the pricier side for boba but definitely recommend!“

“love this place! great people! great food! my fav is robson ❤️❤️❤️Vegetarian options: all veg not sure about vegan but all vegParking: always has parking super big free public parkingKid-friendliness: I think kids would love this placeWheelchair accessibility: Are you wheelchair accessible woo“

“Simply the best place for snow cones. The fresh fruits they use are of great quality and make all the difference, the portion sizes are extremely generous - you definitely get more than what you pay for. Despite being a small place, they have a lot to offer and their snow cones are definitely worth trying.“

“The Mermaid Bowl was so refreshing - I definitely recommend it! South Block had a great selections of juices, smoothies, and bowls so it was hard to choose. My husband had the Cave Monkey smoothie and he absolutely loved it. Again, 10/10 - I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“

“From the moment I entered, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the manager and the attentive staff. Their friendliness and willingness to assist created a welcoming atmosphere that immediately stood out. It's rare to find such a high level of customer service, and I want to commend your team for their professionalism. The store is very well kept, very clean.What truly impressed me was the efficiency of your kitchen in preparing my order. The speed at which my food was ready was nothing short of remarkable. Despite the quick turnaround, the quality of the meal remained outstanding. It's evident that your team places a strong emphasis on both speed and excellence.I believe exceptional service deserves recognition, and I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. My experience at South Block was not just about a meal; it was about the overall positive and efficient dining experience your team provided.Thank you for setting the bar high when it comes to customer service and food preparation. I will undoubtedly be returning and recommending your establishment to friends and family.“

“Great healthy food here. The prices are a bit steep so it's more of a treat than a daily routine. The overnight oats were delicious, and the avocado toast was that plus a work of art! The dining area is bright and cheery, but you'll be just as happy taking an order to go.“

“Literally have never had a bad experience. Love Playa Bowls!Vegetarian options: Fruit bowls and smoothies!Dietary restrictions: They seem to accommodate all restrictions with cautionParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome - as is everyone!“

“Some of the best coffee I’ve had in ages, and a good egg-and-bacon bagel. Beautiful light, bright space with big murals. Lots of outlets. Very nice folks behind the counter. Lovely place where I’d love to hang out. This is not any of our most regular routes, but we go to Frederick regularly so we can swing by, and in general we’ll make a point of stopping by whenever we can!“

“Best of the bestest cheesesteaks, I am super critical with my food adventures, and I hardly come across something worth talking about. This was one of my best random cheesesteak hunt, but thanks to my husband for bringing me here since he attended the University of Maryland. Yummm yummm yummm sooooo gooood. I was so indulged that I even forgot to take a picture for yall.“

“This playa bowls location has been the most convenient for me since I work around here. Parking is easy, occasionally I would get busy, but never so busy that you can’t find a place to sit and enjoy your carefully crafted smoothie bowls. Love it so much!“

“We were staying next door to the Flavor Garden and came in for breakfast on our first day in DC, the service was good, the good was so good. I keep thinking about the scrambled eggs! They tasted freshly scrambled and made out of real eggs, and seriously the best eggs I have had in my life! The french toast and bacon were also good but not as good as those eggs! We returned that evening for dinner and my husband and I both had the burgers. They were the best ever! Great flavor and texture and so savory. I also had one of the best margaritas I have ever had and all in all really good filling meals! I wish we got a chance to go again before we left DC. Believe me when I tell you go check them out!“

“I've been to this establishment a few times. They are always friendly. Any question I asked was answered. I ordered a Green Detox and a Caesar salad today. Was made prompt to order and very fresh and tasty. They are very welcoming and nice.Parking: Was able to park directly in front of the store.“

“Went to south block with my daughter after the gym. The açaí bowl and smoothie was very refreshing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I am addicted now. I even joined the rewards program. Can’t wait to try the green bowl. You should definitely go!!“

“Naked Lunch (located inside Mom's) is a local treasure, serving up amazing, fresh, healthy, vegetarian and vegan food with a ton of flavor. The staff are friendly and have great suggestions if you need one, too. Everything on the menu is great, but we have a particular fondness for the kale Caesar, which has a vegetarian dressing that's delicious on its own, but when combined with the Parmesan, kale, and balsamic roasted hearts of palm, is otherworldly. We get this at least once a week and it hits the spot every time.“

“If you've never tried boba tea, please let this be your first. This is the one of the best places I've ever been to, and trust me when I say this, for I have went to tons of places in search for great boba. The place is clean and the workers are friendly. I ordered taro boba tea, crystal boba, aloe jelly, and no ice. That was my usual order.. until I tried the milk foam here. It is perfect! The texture is so nice, the flavor is sweet but not too sweet. I ordered that drink so many times that I can't even count. Another one of my favorites is the brown sugar cloud. Not many places have such cloudy boba that is this delicious.“

“I tried their (smoothie) sky shake and it was probably the best bubble tea flavor I’ve ever had. I was curious about the flavor since blue isn’t a common color for drinks and they described it as “blue matcha with coconut.” I personally don’t enjoy the flavor of coconut but this didn’t have a coconut flavor to it. It was subtly sweet and creamy. The tapioca pearls were not as dense as I would have liked them to be but that may just be my preference. The price was about $10 for a cup so it was a bit steep but it could be due to the location. Overall, I would suggest giving the sky shake a shot!“

“I was in town from Tampa Florida and found Share tea across the street from my hotel. I went twice in the same day I loved it so much.!!! I am still thinking about the tea I had..:not sure if I will be able to find a place here in Tampa as good as ShareTea … The girl was also so helpful that was working there to explain the different teas that I could have.“

“Listen the price is steel but the juices are absolutely bomb. Great burgers. I love this place. It's also super vegan. Wish they'd stop clinging onto the optional cheese situation for really no reason. Edit: apparently the baked good are also not vegan. Slightly annoying. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-10“

“Gong Cha is the OG and there's a reason they're everywhere! Lots of flavor selections, quick service, and good tasting bubble tea. Ordering with the kiosk can be a bit weird because for some reason you can't change sugar or ice level on some drinks, but if you order at the counter the staff can make those modifications for you. I ordered a classic - dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba. The boba was excellent! Not super chewy, but not hard either. Went down easily and tasted great. The brown sugar milk tea tasted like brown sugar, not much to speak on there. Will be here whenever I'm in Rosslyn and have a hankering for bubble tea.“

“Every time I go here the food and service are great. Z Burger offers way more than just burgers, so I can switch up my meals depending on what I'm in the mood for. Also, they run promotions from time-to-time, which are great. Lastly, the portions are huge! So its good value for your hard-earned money.“

“Really tasty quesadillas and tacos! Sauces are also delish; nice heat on the hot sauce. A very, very nice server brought everything over and checked on us a few times. It’s nice to support a family owned business. We will definitely be back, and next time we’ll try the birria tacos!“

“What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into over 200+ stores, thousands of employees, and a mission to lead communities in healthy, sustainable living.The Playa Bowls™ concept is the vision of founders Robert Giuliani & Abby Taylor — both Jersey Shore natives & long time surfers. Abby grew up in Ocean Township surfing the beaches of Monmouth County, while Rob grew up surfing in Ocean County. They were inspired by chasing summer on surf trips to Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, California & Hawaii. Almost every exotic surf town they visited offered their own unique version of an acai or pitaya bowl. They decided to recreate their favorite recipes with their own twist at home at the Jersey Shore.They made a deal with the owner of the pizza shop they lived above on 8th Avenue in Belmar, NJ. They bought a blender, a patio table, a fridge & a freezer and set up a makeshift pop up stand on the sidewalk in front of the pizza shop. They spent a lot of time & effort telling their story and educating customers on the benefits of acai. As word spread of this creative & intuitive pop up stand, more & more people stood in line on the side of Ocean Avenue to see what Playa Bowls was all about. Rob & Abby realized it was time to take their growing business to the next level.
