“Everything look amazing and the taste is even better! 😍 Hands down for Om Juice Bar! 🙌🏻💛“

“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“

“Impecable el ambiente y la atención. Los bowls son súper recomendables! No se lo pierdan!“

“Love this place. It is a great place on the Upper West Side!“

“Excellent place and service“

“Oakberry has the best açaí in the world. Healthy, refreshing, and full of amazing topping options. Everywhere my husband and I travel, we always look for an Oakberry. We highly recommend it! 😍“

“Came in here after work around Lunchtime to have a smoothie bowl as I was craving to try one. I custom made what I wanted and had the pitaya (dragonfruit) base with mango, blueberries, granola, banana, coconut flakes and honey and omgggg did it deliver!!!! Sooo delicious! Not to mention the service frok the girls there was super sweet and friendly. There’s a cute bunch of chairs to sit at outside which is where I loved to after being inside because it’s air conditioned inside and I wanted to get some sun. Highly recommended!“

“It’s all about the bowls and bulletproof coffee here. And the juice bundles are top notch AND super affordable!“

“Es lugar nuevo los jugos son frescos y saludables lo recomiendo le 5 estrellas y la gente muy profesional y buena vibra 🥤“

“Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy! Tons of folks were coming in and out for a spot I almost walked past! Extensive menu with plenty of fruit slush options (no milk), smoothies (with milk), bowls, or boba. I'd prob rec not getting the boba, since nyc is blessed with boba-specific spots lol

I just finished a workout, so I opted for their large Powerful Chia ($11), which had banana, mango, pineapple, and chia seed. I got almond milk, since they didn't have oat milk at the time. Price point was relative on par with other chains. You can add Orgain organic protein for +$1.

All ingredients are blended right in front of you, which is always great to see. Overall, would return to a Hawa!“

“Nice spot to grab some boba tea or smoothies. Most of the drinks are phenomenal, and the boba itself is sweet, but not overpowering, and is chewy, but not too chewy, making it perfect to my liking. I also enjoy how I am available to change the sugar and ice content, giving me the ability to tailor it to my liking even further. My only complaints are that the blender is loud, making it hard to communicate and understand the server. Also, the drinks from the “Butterfly Pea” series taste like water after a while. Overall, nice spot.“

“Great and yummy Acai Bowls. My favorite is the Pura vida bowl.And the customer service is amazing. Great team in this location. This location is clean, fast, and welcoming. Thank you making it a great experience. I come here frequently and every time is great.“

“Danny was wonderful. We went to a location on 53rd and Lexington. The food was delicious, the staff was extremely attentive. The place was super clean and inviting, with a cool and relaxing ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you !!!!“

“Baya Bar - Acai & Smoothie Shop is a great stop for something fresh and energizing. The acai bowls are vibrant, well-balanced, and loaded with quality toppings. I also liked the variety of smoothies and juices, all tasting clean and refreshing. The bright, casual vibe and quick service make it an easy, feel-good choice anytime.“

“This is my favorite smoothie place in Manhattan, and it’s right up there in terms of salads and healthy bowls. Their ingredients are so fresh and the smoothie combinations they have are super creative and unique. I go out of my way to make a stop here when I’m in the area!“

“Best smoothies in the west village / Chelsea area. They are always made fresh right in front of you and the 10-12 dollar price is justifiable with its terrific taste. If I could have it everyday I would, but I tend to get one of very hot days and as a supplement to a traditional breakfast (bagel or bacon egg and cheese). Healthy and delicious alternative“

“I come here all the time and they’re always great! The staff is super helpful and patient — especially since I’m picky and don’t drink milk or eat bananas. They always get my order right and make it easy for me. Thanks for consistently great service!“

“Oakberry has the best açaí in the world. Healthy, refreshing, and full of amazing topping options. Everywhere my husband and I travel, we always look for an Oakberry. We highly recommend it! 😍“

“Stumbled across Angie while visiting the area for a long weekend. Went back every morning! Incredible smoothies, excellent service, high attention to detail on curating unique and healthy recipes; better prices than Juice Generation or nearby alternatives“

“We miss you guys! Best juices and smoothies in the city! Can't wait for the new location! Best of luck :)“

“When you walk in, it’s very self explanatory. Very warm and welcoming. You come here to satisfy your healthy needs, and with a bang for your buck. You’re really getting what you paid for. Great place overall. Don’t be shy, you will be satisfied nine times out of ten.“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious, healthy, convenient, refreshing, and great prices.“

“Hands down the best deli in the neighborhood. If you’re looking for a place that remembers your face, look no further. Happy staff, good food and a family friendly environment. They may be new, but they represent that old nyc soul every true NY deli has.

As a born and raised NY’er, I tip my hat to their baconeggandcheese.“

“Love Playa Bowls—best açaí bowls hands down!!! They’re hearty and you get a nice size bowl/amount for the price. The options are insane!

My favorite is the power -açaí bowl w/ peanut butter (shown in the picture). My kids love the mucho mango (also in the picture) and the Stupid Cupid (not pictured).

This particular location is a nice size. They have a few tables inside as well as a seating area. There is usually seating outside as well but the entire sidewalk block is under construction at the moment.

I’ve never experienced bad customer service. I’ve dined in, ordered online for pickup, AND I’ve had it delivered before. Always a 10/10!“

“This cozy little spot is a hidden gem for anyone who loves great drinks. Their taro milk tea and fresh fruit smoothies are top-notch—smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“We were visiting friends on the lower east side and popped out to pick up a few things for brunch. Dimes was their reco and it was a good one. It’s a small, well curated specialty food/grocery store. Fresh veggies, interesting condiments, prepared foods, fresh flowers, and many other treats. The staff is also lovely and helpful. Stop by you won’t regret it!“

“I had a great stop at Avocado Oh Smoothie. The smoothies were fresh, creamy, and naturally sweet without feeling heavy. Ingredients tasted high-quality, and everything felt clean and refreshing. It’s a perfect quick option when you want something light but satisfying. The staff were friendly and kept things moving smoothly.“

“Playa Bowl is my favorite meal in the world. I always get the power açai and I substitute it with plant protein. The staff at every location are always awesome. Smoothies, oatmeal, açai, pitaya & coffee. Started in New Jersey in 2014 and is sweeping the nation.“

“Ordered through Uber Eats, I am traveling. Food is really good but NO UTENSILS WERE INCLUDED. I specifically asked for utensils. I need a SPOON to eat your soup!“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.“

“I tried the Brown Sugar boba. I requested whole milk, 25% sugar, less ice, and extra boba. It wasn’t sweet like I wanted and there wasn’t extra boba like I’d asked. There was too much ice. But overall it wasn’t THAT BAD. I give it 7.5/10. I’ve had better boba from other places. Do I recommend though, yes“

“Best snack ever! I was dragging down the street tired, hot, and hungry with no idea what to eat or if I even wanted to eat. I decided to see if I could get a juice or smoothie which I had tried once before from playa bowls. I instead went for one of their pitaya bowls without knowing exactly what it was. It turned out to be the absolute best thing ever! An icy “slushy” pitaya (dragonfruit) base with gluten free granola strawberries, blueberries, and honey on top. I had no idea this was exactly what my body needed! So fresh, filling, cool, and refreshing. So yummy! 10/10“

“I am not scrap Feed,doormat trash.I would appreciate it if the individuals representing Juice Generation were more outgoing with the way they treat people by treating everybody in a Highly Dignified and Kind manner and not making/Forging spitefully negative affiliations with anybody’s outward appearance.I paid for the salad,left a $1 Tip-Sorry to be so vulgar and crude and speak about M$ney.I am not a Homeless person NOR WOULD I EVER BULLY SOMEBODY iF their situation were that heinously unjust that they were negated and labeled as”HOMELESS”,I am not a Prostitute,I have been celibate for 16 Years and my 16 Years isn’t meant to imply other women should be Labeled,ostracized or stigmatized if they’re not Leading the celibate Life,I am not a Psychiatric Symptom because I wear an expensive elegant Hat.AND EVEN IF I WERE ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT I AM NOT,I would not be any Less entitled to Human Dignity and Kindness…
AND IT’S NONE OF MY BUSINESS WHO IS WHAT,nor would I LabeL anybody as such.I think it should be a 4 minus star rating.I don’t wish to be vengeful towards ANYBODY.“

“Keepin it real out here in UES
One thing I noticed is that most of the owner / manager at Baya Bar, most not all, are pretty nice, and this one at UES is def one of them. Super friendly to customers and even window cleaning staff. Really takes care of the people and takes pride in the store. Food & smoothie is solid, consistent“

“Highly recommend the “hella good greens” bowl! Anything on the menu looked great“

“Absolutely love Playa Bowls!
The açaí bowls are always fresh, tasty, and beautifully put together. The store is clean and has a fun, beachy vibe. What really makes the experience even better is the staff — everyone is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile and are happy to help with recommendations. Great service and great food every time. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent service! As soon as I arrived. I was warmly greeted and given great menu recommendations. They suggested a very healthy meal, and my experience was fantastic thanks to Neraly, who provided wonderfully gentle and attentive service.“

“mmmmmmm y’all this bowl was UNBELIEVABLY good I was in shock I got the nutella bowl which was an acai base with granola, bananas, and strawberries and y’all that acai was pure perfection like it was so smooth but still frozen enough to be extra thick and wow i just loved this so much“

“4/5⭐
I think it’s safe to say that NYC is lucky to have THISBOWL.
My experience with this restaurant at the Noho location was pleasant, the staff were nice, the food was amazing. We ordered the miso salmon bowl and the spicy salmon bowl which were both delicious and filling + the house drinks.
Definitely recommend!“

“I sooo love all the juices and açaí bowls never get tired of them“

“The person that helped me was extremely kind and patient regarding my modifications and the entire experience was very pleasant. The bowl itself was delicious and filling and the perfect guilt free treat after a long day. Definitely worth the price!“

“The most thing I like about juice generation is how their employees welcomed customers, there is one guy in the 86st broadway store, I think his name is Abdula, he’s customer service skills is amazing, and now everyday I buy my smoothie in that store.“

“I love the energy and service of the place. Bob you and workers have always been kind to me and my family thanks for giving life to water.“
