"Co-owner Dimitri Phanor has roots in Haiti, and this cultural upbringing shines on the menu at Café Juice Up. You’ll find beverages blended with jackfruit, turmeric, soursop, guava, and dragonfruit, all staples familiar to those from the island. Plus, their creamy homemade cashew milk tastes delicious paired with their flaky Haitian pates shining in the heated display case. Pro tip: A community fridge is hanging out in front of the shop, so bring some fresh fruits or packaged meals to fill it up for the food-insecure folks living in the area." - Ashia Aubourg

The cafe is run by Denise O’Marde, according to city licensing documents. Cafe Juiceup will hold a grand opening on Saturday, June 30, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., complete with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, $5 smoothies, music all day, free samples, and raffles. Individuals who follow the shop on Facebook and Instagram will be able to get a smoothie for $2." - Dana Hatic

This juice bar is a hidden gem! The staff creates incredible juices and smoothies that are both delicious and good for you. I recently stopped in craving a smoothie and the staff helped me create the perfect blend. I suggested peanut butter, sea moss, banana, and oat milk, and they whipped up a spectacular smoothie. The texture was perfect—smooth and creamy, with no chunks of banana. I'll definitely be back!

I've ordered juice cleanses twice from Cafe Juice Up, and both times everything was fresh and delicious. Dimitri was incredibly helpful and personable—when I needed assistance with delivery, he communicated with me and ensured the cleanses arrived at my home. He truly went the extra mile when I needed it, and I deeply appreciate it. I highly recommend Cafe Juice Up! I love supporting a business that not only provides great products but also stays connected to the community on a personal level.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Smoothies & Outstanding Service! CAFE JUICEUP is hands down my new favorite spot! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly and welcoming service—the staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel valued. But let’s talk about the smoothies—absolutely AMAZING! Every sip is packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the love and care that goes into making them. Whether you’re craving something refreshing, energizing, or packed with nutrients, they have the perfect blend for you. The flavors are on point, perfectly balanced, and never too sweet or artificial. Beyond the great drinks, the atmosphere is chill and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax or grab something on the go. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for the best smoothies and top-notch customer service, CAFE JUICEUP is the place to be! Highly recommend—I'll definitely be coming back for more! 🍓🥭🍌🔥

I have been a satisfied customer since 2019 but had only ordered on Uber eats. I have always joked that the fruit there is always so fresh , ripe, and sweet that it must’ve come from the garden of Eden lol. I was in the physical store today for the first time and met the owners Denise and Dimitri. The service was excellent and I got to stock up on the watermelon (with seeds!)! The store is great and they have a beautiful seating area both in front and in the rear. They also sponsor a free food fridge and pantry area for anyone in the community to donate hot or cold food and for anyone in need to come and take as they need. This business is excellent in how they operate and in consistency and quality. I hope they continue to prosper and reach their target customers.

I'm in love with the Smoothies and smoothie bowls. The quality of the products are Phenomenal! Truly great service! The 2 owners I've met are both humble and beautiful people. Not taking shortcuts on the process, which makes for a successful business.

smoothie bowl soooo good! Healthy options in the neighborhood . They have Jamaican patties as well freshly made. You could pick a smoothie from their menu or make up your own fresh juice. Everything is cut up right there.

Let me be clear, this is a great place, and it has taken me a week to write this because of how satisfied I've always been since 2021, however, I had a horrible experience with who I would assume may be a manager, I'm not sure, No star service. Because they cut the cup holders in half, they are not secure so I dropped one of the smoothies and this woman blew up, yelling about cleaning up mess and yelling at the young lady who was her coworker. Proceeded to tell me how I should have secured the holder...it was an awful experience. I am so disappointed because I am a good customer and refer them to others. I offered to pay for another one, no problem, but she did make another one at no charge. I hope that this begins a conversation with the staff, especially being black-owned and serving your community. No one should be raising their voice and yelling at a customer, nor a coworker. Also, provide the 4-cup holder for 2 or more drinks, or order the 2-cup that's more secure, not the ones you are cutting in half. Update: The owner took the time to give me a call this morning to apologize for the experience, which I appreciate very much. One thousand stars for this. Thank you, D.

Listen!!! After a good workout that Jack of all fruits is my favorite smoothie with vanilla protein. They have really good smoothies and bowls. Customer service is amazing every time I go in there, so if you haven’t tried them what are you waiting for

I love this place ! Literally will drive across town just to get my Jack of All Fruit smoothie ! Customer service is great, smoothies are delicious, fresh & overall perfect! I'be brought several family members here & they have no disappointed me! Really hope they can open another location in Dorchester or Roxbury in the future, the community needs its. Great black owned & operated business! -Patrice

Finally found a smoothie place in the Dorchester/ Mattapan area with amazing drinks and great customer service. The menu has so many options for smoothies, juices and fruit bowls. I got kind of overwhelmed with the options, but the nice casier recommend the seamoss goodness smoothie and it was so good! I also got two Haitian patties which were super flaky. Definitely expect a small wait if you order you inside because they're making it fresh. If you don't want to wait, order online to save yourself some time. They also have a cool reward program. This is on a main road so it will be difficult to find parking right outside. Can't wait to try other drinks on the menu!

The serving size is super small and it is definitely Not worth the price you pay for it. Get a pitaya bowl elsewhere.

Anaika J.

The juice is really good and I like them but the customer service is bad so after my 3rd attempt I'll never go back.

Alexandra L.

Yelp
The drinks were reasonably priced + delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly! They let me sit in the back even though it was closed to tutor a student. I'd recommend this café to everyone!

Diggy D.

Yelp
Very simple decor, straightforward and courteous service, and healthy and delicious drinks. Perhaps a couple high chairs and tables inside and/or outside would be a nice addition. This is exactly what the community needs.

Amazing, one of the best smoothies I have ever tried and taste. Avocaglow wow and also the letter J. Recommend it to anyone who wants to refresh their body, the lady who took my order was so friendly and professional. even tho it's far from where I lived, I don't mind going back just to try something new and I know the experience is going to be fantastic too as the first one.

Paavo C.

Best smoothies in Boston, bar none! They also have decent Haitian patties and healthy snacks. Highly recommended!

Melica E.

This is one of my favorite spots to grab smoothies from! All of their smoothies are filling and very fruitful. Their smoothies leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle your day. I always get a boost of energy when I grab a smoothie from Cafe Juice Up! 10/10 rating, 5 stars doesn't do it justice.

Jonathan P.

This place is very frightening and ℹ the drinks the drinks !!!!!!! Man I order 2 at a time and I grab fruits to go.a you can get fruits and coconut water and ginger shots to go.which I rock with and They juice everything...did I say everything?!??? Everything!!!

Jeanette D.

Yelp
Whenever I'm craving a juice or a smoothie or a patty I go there! The juices are freshly made right in front of you - The staff, is knowledgeable and great at recommending a concoction that suit one's unique palate. My favorites are juice "F" ( don't judge your girl now... I don't remember all the ingredients) and Jamaican Me Thirsty- oh yes I would recommend that you order your stuff before you get there... they tend to have a line.

Reasonable prices ? Check Great service? Check Large menu options? Check Haitian Patties in case you want a lil sumn else with yo juice? Check Black Owned? Check Those all my boxes & they checked them all so you should go! Get the megatron!

I dont review much but when i do i gots to give it up. I was just delivered the best fruit cup ive ever had in my life. (No Cap) The fruits were amazing and fragrant, the sweetness and smell of them were absolutely incredible. Try a fruit cup and you won't be disappointed.

Alex G.

The chicken patties are bomb. The beet juice with ginger will make you feel brand new, it has a strong ginger taste. The acai smoothie bowl with apple juice is the best I ever tasted. I highly recommend it. They also have a loyalty program. Check this place out for your healthy eating needs!

Kahla B.

Yelp
Love the different options/flavors they have here. The wait can be a minute but that's because it's made to order of course. I order thru Yelp and pick up and it's much faster. It's a place i visit every time I'm in town and will continue to. Price compared to size is great. It always fills me up! They're very knowledgeable of the fruits and vegetables and the healthy properties of each. Hope they stay and are successful for years to come.

Sam D.

Yelp
Great smoothie place! So many options! Fresh fruits. There are street parking options or you could take public transportation. Prices and quantity is decent. Same as you pay at a smoothie bar anywhere else in Boston. The ingredients were super fresh and the store is clean. Definitely coming here again. Also it's a small black owned business, support!

Michael K.

Yelp
The food is AMAZING. Açaí bowls are so filling and full of great nutrients. The worker gave us several free samples and helped us find a good combination of juices and food. Would totally recommend.

Robert F.

Yelp
We didn't get anything but juice. However, this lil black owned spot has some delectable looking delicenses that I did not try. The juices that are offered and vast in combination and type. The Jack of all fruit and the tropical bliss smoothies are exceptional. Be sure to grab another juice to save for later. Don't let the plainness of my photo fool you as flavor profiles outdo the simple appearance.

Jamal J.

Yelp
Black owned and smack in the city. A good place to get your Daily smoothies and açaí bowls. I have always admired this quiet little joint of a place on blue and I went in to get a smoothies and the experience was lovely, they took my order and I waited for my smoothie. The place is a little cluttered but it works there are fruits to sell in the front and a little display. My smoothie was delicious and will definitely go back for more.

Lourdes J.

Yelp
These smoothies are out of this world amazing!! Full of natural fruits and juices so you KNOW what you're paying for! My favorite is definitely the "Peach me Im Dreaming" smoothie so so sweet and the perfect thick consistency! Plus They're super nice and attentive in there I'm so glad they decided to open a juice bar closer to home!!

So i have very mixed feelings about this business. Prior to covid I experienced long wait times and I even stopped going because the service sucked. But today I thought I'd give them another go. WRONG DECISION!! I placed an order for a smoothie and a juice at 10am. They said they would text me when my order was ready. I literally sat in my car out front and watched as multiple people came in and out with their order. A whole 30 minutes went by and I still didn't receive a text! I went inside and waited another 5 minutes and was finally giving my order (which wasnt even made yet!!!) The many choices are great but the lack of communication and the long wait time for a damn smoothie is absolutely ridiculous. I refuse to waste both my time & money in there again!! Even Grubhub and Ubereats orders were made before my order!! I didnt even get an apology or compensation for the wait time. Unacceptable.

Ricardo C.

Yelp
Great service. Great product. They keep it simple all while giving you a wide variety of options. And I think the deliver...? I would have given them another half-star just for that, if I knew how to.

Alia H.

I got the Megatron smoothie and a chicken patty. Both are delicious (smoothie is bright and tastes like sunshine) and made me feel much more energized.

Orville J.

Great smoothies hands down, and friendly service. I always come here right after a workout!

Alyca S.

Great vibes as soon as you walk in. The area is so warm and welcoming, plus the staff is very friendly. The menu has great combos and a full list of all ingredients so you can create your own juice or smoothie. I ordered the Tropical Bliss which is absolutely amazing!!! Can't wait to go back and try more

Re R.

Ordered a pitaya bowl and received icy pitaya with blocks of frozen pitaya. I'll stick with going to Playa bowl

I was introduced to this cafe last year and I've loved coming here ever since. I'm not sure if it was the nice weather today but the cafe was super busy and the wait times were really long so just a heads up if you order on a nice day. But aside from that, the quality of the fruit and juices/smoothies is 100% great. I would say the prices are normal for this type of business and the employees are always welcoming and respectful. I definitely recommend you stop by if you're in the area and need a bomb drink. They have some other bake goods but never tried those.

Sincere J.

Great smoothies, nice staff, very tasty... yum yum yum. So the only one I'm not a fan of is the carrot cake

Kyesha S.

Yelp
I placed a Ubereats at 10:15 for 3 smoothies I am calling the restaurant asking what is the status of my order and it takes until noon for them to call me back and say they don't have sea-moss for one of the smoothies. It took two hours for you to realize you didn't have sea-moss? I am not understanding how it took me calling you and hours to go by to do something with my order. The woman on the phone was like yea Tuesdays were short staffed, that isn't a excuse because if I was standing there in person you wouldn't dare have me standing waiting from 10:15 until 12:25 when the order was actually ready to go. My money is the same so work on time management skills.

Michelle B.

Yelp
Very delicious and great service! I had the tropical bliss smoothie and my brother had a berry smoothie. They have a lot of tropical and unique flavors for juice and smoothies. Met the owner who was very nice and welcoming. Very happy to support a local business in the neighborhood. Looking forward to returning to enjoy the patio they are building and to try more flavors! I want to try the Haitian patties too

rude service, and didn't have key ingredienuts......... like bananas, avocados!!!! hence everything I tried to order they could not make, never to return.

These are honestly the best juices/smoothies I've ever had. And there are So many amazing options you would not find anywhere else. Anything I tried has not disappointed. I highly highly recommend

Amarildes A.

If you want overpriced juices and açaí bowls with a side of rudeness then this is your spot. I went in there with the intention of buying a bunch of juices to keep in My fridge for the week and an açaí bowl for lunch today. The lady behind the counter is extremely rude. They were playing music so loud that the other customers in the store could barely hear here. I go up to place my order and I was taken a back by how she didn't take her time to explain the sizes of the juices/smoothies. I just ended up buying one juice because I felt rushed. I ended up buying one juice and an açaí bowl. Waited over 25 mins to get them. I was in the store patiently waiting for my juice and food when the lady behind the counter friend came in and she decided that was the time to have a full blown conversation before giving me my order. Finally she says it's coming and I say I've been waiting a long time. Her response was ya I understand that. Not a I'm sorry, nothing. I was appalled. I took my items and left. As I walked out I thought about. I drove out my way to try out this black owned business to share to my social media and my friends to be highly disappointed. I walked back in to give her constructive criticism and she said not today and continued to yell at me. I was embarrassed for her. Couldn't even get a word out. Come to find out she's not even the owner of the establishment. I walked out. This is one of the reasons why I hesitate supporting local business because of the lack of customer service. I rather go to a chain juice bar and be treated with respect. Such a shame....I get home and I try the açaí bowl and there are frozen pieces of ice and it's as mediocre as it gets lol. Spent over $20 for crappy service and basic food. My green juice was pretty good, but the açaí bowl was trash and that's the whole reason why I wanted to go down there. At least if my food tasted good it wouldn't have been a total waste of time but hey at least I tried it.

Love Cafe Juice up! Such a breath of fresh air when ever I walk into the place. And The Smoothies are Amazing!!! Keep up the Great Customer Service the Juice will do the rest.

Love the juices and smoothies here! I am so happy it's down the street from my apartment. They also have really delicious patties!

Kiana B.

Bombbbbbb. Their smoothies are great and a good price. Me and my friends come like every other day lol. Their loyalty program justifies it for me. I just started eating healthier so I've been trying to find sweet indulgences so I get the peach me I'm dreaming everytime. It always hits. They're sweet and black owned. Sometimes they're busy esp with warmer weather so I usually order like 15-20 in advance over the phone. Go support.

Stacia S.

We ordered Cafe Juice Up for the first time for delivery and had a great experience. The peanut butter açaí bowl was a great portion and tasted fresh and delicious. The beef patties were so flakey and the meet filling was so tasty. Can't wait to try this cafe again!

If someone is standing in front of you ready to order and your busy stapling a bag and tending to door dash an acknowledgment of any kind will do .... hello or I'll be right with you. Maybe next time

Consistency is key. I love smoothies and i like to go to a place and have the same smoohthie every single day. I don't want to gamble with my smoothies. Meaning depending on who makes it is how my smoothie will taste.. Which means sometimes its great and some times its ok. Also smoothies should be cold.. Got a smoothie last night and when my boyfriend handed it to me it was like room temperature. I asked him if they froze the fruits and if there was any ice even in it. He said he didnt know.. It was late and it was almost their closing time which is why i did not go back in to have them re-make it .. I also wondered if they rushedit because it was close to 8pm ( which still does not make it ok) well my first experience was a no go... My boyfriend tried to convince me they were better then most places and they are not.. I will still to my shea butters... This is what happens when you cheat.. #stayLoyal
