50 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies in New York

“A Culinary Gem: Urban Juicery by Louis & Christine

Urban Juicery is more than just a place to grab a meal; it’s an experience curated with love, passion, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Owners Louis and Christine have cultivated a haven for health-conscious food lovers, offering delicious, nutritious, and beautifully crafted meals that cater to those on the go, those dropping in, and those looking to savor every bite in a welcoming atmosphere.

My daughter and I have been loyal patrons since the summer of 2023, and for good reason.

Their Veggie Burrito; a masterpiece packed with grilled vegetables, creamy avocado, fresh pico de gallo, vibrant purple slaw, smoky chipotle portabella mushrooms, hearty wild rice, and smooth hummus; continues to be our go-to favorite.

Paired with their Berry Medley Smoothie, a refreshing blend of mixed berries, açaí, banana, and almond milk, it’s a meal that not only satisfies the palate but also nourishes the body.

Chef Louis is nothing short of a health-food wrap magician. His meticulous attention to detail ensures that every dish is as flavorful as it is wholesome. What sets him apart, however, is his genuine warmth and engagement with every guest.

They create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued; there’s no hierarchy, no special treatment, yet somehow, everyone leaves feeling like they’ve received VIP service.
This dynamic duo is the epitome of entrepreneurial brilliance.

Their vision, execution, and dedication to excellence make Urban Juicery a standout in the health food scene. Their business model is not just a success; it’s a necessity. Urban Juicery deserves to be in every borough, every state, and every town across America.

Visiting today, just after celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday, it’s heartwarming to see their business continuing to flourish. Their journey is one of passion, perseverance, and purpose. We look forward to witnessing their continued expansion, growth, and well-deserved success. If you haven’t experienced Urban Juicery yet, you are truly missing out on something special. Here’s to many more years of incredible food, vibrant energy, and unwavering dedication to health and wellness.“

“Great customer service. Personable, polite, and knowledgeable counter person. Many selections of smoothies, acai bowls, fresh drinks and healthy snacks. Clean, well maintained and organized. He even gave me a sample in advance of my completed order, for me to determine the level of sweet to my Greek Yougurt Smoothie. That was a nice touch. I'll be returning“

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

“Real Fruits. Real Veggies. Real Energy.

Every smoothie, açaí bowl, and superfood blend is made with truly fresh fruits and veggies — no shortcuts, just pure, tasty goodness. From vibrant juices to energizing smoothies, and even coffee + sandwiches, every bite and sip is fresh, wholesome, and packed with nutrients.

“Been to so many smoothie places asking for #21 the health shake but nobody can do it like he does it, he’s very nice and understanding as well as quick with making your drink. I’ve experienced others who don’t pay attention to my instructions for the order or who take a while but he never fails to deliver the best smoothies quick. Definitely a must visit for great smoothies, wouldn’t recommend any other spot.“

“Awesome Açaí bowls and smoothies! 😋“

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

“The biryani was delicious! I ordered the dum biryani, and the portion was perfect for one person. The place is quite small and a bit cramped, and there’s no wash basin available, so you’ll need to use wet wipes. Despite that, the food and service were really good overall.“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

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

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“They have the best tacos and burritos“

“We are so thankful to have Candle right by our apt!! Their Black Bean Quinoa burgers and Chickpea Burgers are amazing-we order them 2x a week!! Great soups, great kind staff, just overall a great neighborhood gem.“

“Harry really makes the BEST acai bowls around but all his bowls are incredible! He will customize it but the presentation and freshness outshines all others! All the products (and I have tried almost all of them!) he has are super fresh and refreshing! The smoothies are awesome as well!Forget all the fast food and find Juice Eternity you won’t regret it! Harry gives great service with his fun attitude and knowledge and is always up for a new idea!!“

“My wife and I have had tons of Açaí bowls around the city, and we both agree Hawa Smoothie is the #1 Acai bowl in Manhattan. The bubble tea is also super good. They are very nice, and I’ve gone many times with great service each time. High quality ingredients and good people. Highly recommended!!“

“Abdi has the best juice bar in Harlem and tasty 😋 bites in Cafe The only place I go to and my friends local and international love to visit for the best juice bar in Harleml“

“Love coming here for bubble tea! Some of the best I’ve had in lower Manhattan. Service is quick and friendly too. Only a couple of barstools for seating so it’s more of an in-and-out kind of place. Their drinks tend to be on the sweeter end but if you let them know to make it half sweet then they turn out perfect for me.“

“Very good juice! Fresh juices in general tend to be pricey so if you’re getting one make sure it’s good quality—and these absolutely are! Super fresh and a great assortment of flavours. The regular size ones are $8 each, and they also had some special flavours at $10. I had some left over so I mixed with soda water for another yummy treat (highly recommend trying this). As you can see in the photos the drink I made the next day had a more oxidized colour, so you know the one in the store is REALLY fresh.

Store is really simple, literally just in and out for juice; not really anywhere to sit. Not a bash, just something to keep in mind. Owner was also super nice :)“

“The bowls, milkshakes, and fresh pressed juice all taste great. The only reason I gave them one less star on service is because I don't think they're English Is that great...And the card reader wasn't accepting my Google pay so I had to pay cash“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“There’s truly nothing else like it around.

From the moment you walk in, you’re met with a sense of calm and purpose. The space itself feels mindful: welcoming, fresh, and thoughtfully designed to reflect the values of the food and drinks served. It’s not just about what you put in your body here, it’s about how you feel while you’re doing it.

The juices, smoothies, and bowls are next-level. You can taste the quality and care in every sip and bite. Everything is fresh, vibrant, and made with ingredients you can actually pronounce.

And then there’s Naomi and the team. You won’t find better people. Warm, knowledgeable, and always ready to recommend something based on your mood, your needs, or even your day. They create an environment that feels less like a business and more like a little sanctuary in your daily routine.

This juice bar isn’t riding the wave of a trend—it is the standard. With its own unique flair, it’s setting the tone for what clean eating and intentional living should feel like. Go once, and you’ll get it. Go twice, and you’ll be hooked.“

“Friendly service with a team that is happy to serve up authentic, Dominican style juices, smoothies, and shakes. For me, the papaya shake is just heavenly. Nothing beats fresh cut papaya, milk, and vanilla. Even on a cold day, the taste was out of this world. I look forward to trying los pastelitos. See you on the next visit!“

“Been coming here for a long time, they’re always pleasant and welcoming. I’ve never had a bad drink everything on their menu tastes amazing. I usually get their protein smoothies for breakfast because they fill me up for a long time. They’re super rich and creamy. They make the drinks at lighting speed so there’s hardly ever any wait. I don’t have to worry about eating, I just sip and go on about my day! Hawa is the best! 🧋✨“

“I always get the peanut punch here, it’s DELICIOUS, you can taste and tell that the ingredients are well balanced. The owner and lady that work there are so friendly, high spirited and welcoming. The whole store screams “good health” (they sell sea moss, natural toothpaste and more) I’ll love to try those soon.“

“Super refreshing on ANY day. After my meal I decided to walk around and burn some calories and stumbled across this place. I’m happy I did because it was just what I needed after my delicious meal. My soul was happy after ingesting this delicious sugar cane juice ! The owner was very nice, as well as the girl preparing my drink. Met a guy out front and chatted to him as well. I’ll be back, thank you guys !“

“Best Taro bubble tea in NY & NJ!“

“The taro boba is 🔥 my beast friend and I casually walked from Williamsburg to Tea Art and it was absolutely amazing. I had the Taro, she had the green tea with lychee jelly, both were great with no artificial tastes. Definitely recommend“

“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“

“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.“

“We had two smoothies and an arepa…everything was amazing. The staff are so so nice and the inside of the cafe is really nice. This will be our breakfast and lunch spot while we are at the hospital. Awesome little place for food and drinks/smoothies.“

“Nice food and great service. There's places to sit and have a chat or get some work done. It's close to Central Park so it's perfect for a quick bite. They have breakfast foods, sandwiches salad and burgers. They also have healthy smoothies, fresh made juices and omelets.“

“Bardzo smaczne jedzenie , porcje adekwatne do ceny“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Quite literally the VERY BEST Juices, Smoothies and Acai bowls in NYC!! All Organic, super high quality and high vibe, best super foods, BEST smoothie recipes! The lovely couple that started it and runs it & the next door coffee shop, were inspired to create the place they always wished existed in the city! And we are so grateful they did’ They have done a great job! Since discovering it I go every day I can! I HIGHLY recommend it! It’s a priceless jewel!“

“Love this place! Best juices & smoothies on the LES, friendly staff and they know their menu; service is quick!“

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

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

“The Best Smoothie Shop.in Chelsea.. love the service..they give you great advice on what the best Smoothie are for your taste and health..My
Favs are the protein Smoothies #14 and #49 Prices are great.Stop in for a Yummy Smoothie or More“

“I was served by Mariam on 19th April 2024 who is fantastic and very detailed.

I ordered an açai bowl, 12oz - I will say now probably one of the best açai bowls I’ve ever had. One it is a large amount of Açai, the fruit is FRESH!!! I watched Marián cut up my fruit and it was lovely to eat an authentic açai and for New York it is soo accessible. The shop being open from early to late it’s about 2libs walk from the New Yorker and 3-4 mins to Penn station, it’s got a lovely open window seating area and you get a good view of the street which I liked. The açai was better than an I expected and I ended up buying two which lasted me my entire Easter trip in NY. The second day I sat an ate my açai after leaving to get a dollar pizza, the staff that served were very welcoming to have my presence and also kind and loving. They have a very peaceful presence too and are polite. Besides the açai I’ve yet try anything else but still top 2 açais bowls I’ve ever had. They’re very customisable too and staff where happy to add coconut flakes and swap out my mango for blueberries and another gentleman got protein powder mixed to his bowl. Overall very friendly service, clean ambiance and atmosphere and AMAZING AÇAI.“

“Update - docking a star for an unnecessary feature on their cups.

As with almost every other place these days, the prices are a bit higher than I'd like; but still cheaper than some of the big chains. The smoothies are good, and the service is pretty quick.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Juice Gem That’s Been a Staple for 20 Years!

After two decades of being a loyal patron, I can confidently say that Juice Generation continues to set the gold standard for quality and service. While my last juice of the day wasn’t my favorite (a rare miss in 20 years!), I felt a little hesitant about saying something—but the manager, Adolfo, handled it with such professionalism and kindness that I was reminded why I absolutely love this place. The customer service here is consistently top-tier.

My yogi best friend still fondly remembers the field trip I took her on to Juice Generation—she raves about it to this day. We often daydream about opening a Juice Generation in her new home of Hawaii or in our shared hometown of downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. (Trust me, the people there need this in their lives!)

If you haven’t tried Juice Generation yet, consider this your sign. Their smoothies are rich, refreshing, and never slimy like some of the imitators out there. The vegan muffins are absolutely delicious, and the salads? A bright, crisp little pick-me-up that never disappoints.

One minor exception in two decades—and still, I walk away more impressed than ever. Juice Generation isn’t just a juice bar. It’s a lifestyle, a community, and a feel-good ritual that never gets old.“

“I used to visit here back when I lived in Harlem 2013-2017. It was called jahlakoova before . Unc was cool gave me best advice I still use till this day.
“ focus on the Persons energy , never a persons color “ words still stick today“

“Excellent store, great selection of organic products and a really wonderful owner!“

“Friendly staff great bagel with lox great coffee. always know my order when I arrive.“

“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“

“Saturday at 2:00 a.m. I got me a blood pressure with the main ingredient is beets and a couple of other things. But I could tell you but took care of me. I love this place. Thanks a lot for the great service“
