Wow! We were here today and had delicious fresh juices and healthy ginger shots, followed by great conversations with the owner. It felt like visiting a family member. We live far away but will always stop here when we are in the Grand Rapids area.

This place is exquisite! The atmosphere is peaceful and quaint. The fresh, pressed drinks were refreshing and the farm to table pancakes were delicious! Joan went above and beyond to ensure our visit was wonderful.

Juice by J is much more than juice. It's a charming, unique eatery that serves delicious food in addition to refreshing juices. Everything served in the restaurant happens to be vegan, but the flavors are so delectable and the presentation so artful that it is sure to please the senses of anyone, regardless of their food preferences.
The owner, Joan, is such a delight and welcomed us like family. She asked us what we were up to for the day and recommended juices that would be optimal based on level of activity. She is very knowledgeable about the health benefits of all the ingredients she uses.
While the juices are listed on the menu, the food is not. The reason is because she uses organic, seasonal ingredients so the offerings change frequently. We had the Sweet Potato Waffle and the Vegan "Burger". They were both incredible. The complexity of flavors, the texture of the waffles, the freshness of the ingredients all came together in each delightful bite. The bun of the burger was also a waffle, which created a base for the jackfruit "meat" that was bursting with flavor. Because we were sharing, Joan so sweetly divided the meals.
For dessert, we had a wonderful Vegan Vanilla Custard with Mung Bean Cocoa Nib Waffle. They were the perfect pair to contrast the silky smooth custard with the chewy texture of the waffle. Everything, from start to finish, was a wonderful experience for us!
There is seating inside as well as outside in an adjacent, private courtyard. Street parking is metered, takes coins or the MOTU parking app. A parking structure is also a short distance away.
Grand Rapids is so fortunate to have this delicious, healthy and unique restaurant! Because the staff could be in the back preparing, it is possible when arriving that the restaurant is locked, so ring the doorbell to be allowed into this wonderful eatery!
