5 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Merrick

“Just have to give a quick shoutout to Hard Bean on Merrick Ave. Victor and his wife Elise opened 10 days ago just north of the train station. My fiancé and I were talking to the owners and learned that opening a coffee shop was Victor’s dream. After working at his previous career for almost 30 years, he retired and opened this place. It’s charming inside and the coffee is delicious and less expensive than *$s. They are literally a mom and pop shop and after spending some time there I wanted to post to support and recommend Hard Bean to all the locals.“

“I love Playa Bowls! Even though I’m closer to the Oceanside location, I make the drive to Merrick because the Team is fantastic!! Teresa, Eli, Adriana, Jaelyn and Quinn deserve to be recognized for their outstanding performance!!

Let’s face it - spending $20 for a fruit bowl is considered a luxury in these times, so it helps to have wonderful people taking care of you and making you feel that more special🩷💚“

“Jared, this Ralph’s is extremely amazing. The workers here are very kind and care about their customers. For example, worker is known as Christian, Ariana, Darian, and Liam are very nice people. On the other hand, we have Jared, Jared is I don’t really know how to explain him but that’s all I’m gonna say. But if you were ever to come here, I would recommend you ask for Darien, darien is beautiful, pretty and kind. Liam is also an outstanding football and lacrosse player . His cheddar is very amazing.“

My teen loves their Chicken cutlet, mozzarella sandwich with lettuce, tomato and balsamic vinegar. chicken quesadillas are delishous - I mean I can go on and on 😋 we travel from Wantagh just cuz - they are the best!! It’s the only deli we eat in and order from

Wish I had pics to show. Food is too good to stop and take pics 😆“

“This place used to be my favorite açaí joint. My family and I would always go here. But recently (not sure why) they got rid of their kosher certification. It’s really a bummer. We were constant customers and losing a place like this was a bit annoying. We have the kosher playa bowls also in merrick but it’s just not as good. I love sobol don’t get me wrong but if they could just bring back the kosher certification it would be really appreciated.“
