Juice Ranch Cafe

I do like that juice ranch Café sells organic food and drinks, which taste very good. HOWEVER… to my horror, I saw plastic cutting boards which are known worldwide to leach micro plastics into food, and therefore chemicals, which defeats the purpose of an organic restaurant. If they switched to using glue free wooden cutting boards, they would have my full support.

Amazing smoothies with even greater staff! Kevin-what a guy! Such a kind and helpful human! We will definitely be back.

Great gem of a find!! Was looking for a smoothie and everything around looked basic and low quality. So happy this place exists. We got the mint smoothie, avocado toast and bagel sandwich but asked for it on gluten free bread. All items were AMAZING. The gf bread is excellent. I even went and found the bakery they get it from nearby and bought some. Traveling in Santa Barbra from OC and will be eating this everyday hands down.

We were walking by and found this little gem. I got the strawberry and cream smoothie. It was DELICIOUS! I don't remember what was in there, but it helps with immunity, lol. My sister also got The Hulk smoothie, also, very good. And a vitamin juice.

After giving a 1 star review at the Juice Ranch's Montecito location and receiving a very harsh retort from the owner's claiming I intended to do harm and that my frustrations were misplaced (versus trying to see it from the perspective of someone who is poor) I decided to give them another fair shot. This time I chose the closer venue. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they have discount half off juices. Also when I asked the person working if they had all the half-off juices in stock they responded "Yes" with a bit of frustration in their voice saying if its on the board we have it in stock (OK I can read but that was not what I was asking - I was treated as if me asking that was a dumb question). I then ordered the avocado toast two Johny 5s and a Cashew Milk. Um, guess what - they were out of the Johnny 5 and avocado toast. I guess my dumb question was not so dumb. The person could have been more gracious when I asked, but they weren't. They did profusely apologize. And after their original errant response, they offered an excuse as to why their board was not up to date (haha) So be it. Such is life. Back to the juice. I ended up getting three. I have to say if all the juices were as good as Mermaid and always $5 (or even up to $7), I would give 5 stars. However, the CashewMilk was fair about 4 out of 5 (and I am rounding up since I am not a fan of nut milks but wanted to try it). The Yoda or Yoga juice tasted like what the owners might call flavored water. It was lackluster and really did taste like half juice added to half water. The highlight of the experience was the mermaid juice - it is excellent and the half off price point is so very great. For that juice alone rounds up their score from 1 to 3. Cute location. And again, this was not fresh pressed but recently pressed. And for the record, I used to work my own all natural farm, I have done my own fresh pressed juices, and I also worked with a quaker family in Michigan in a community justice oriented CSA (Sandhill CSA), so I know the difficulty and challenges of the food system we live within. They are doing a fair job. Could be better taste wise, service wise, and logistically. One of the pros (in my opinion) of fresh juice is getting to see, smell, and hear it being juiced. This feels like a stripped down experience - and for that I could just get pre-made juice for much, much less. To the owners: feel free to attack me for my perspective and opinion and put me down. Or instead embrace it. Maybe if you did that, you might figure out how to get closer to 5 stars across the board.

I had the mint chip smoothie and it was totally delicious. The staff were friendly and the menu had a great range of smoothies and juices. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend for a healthy, delicious pit stop.

Great juices. I got the mermaid (tastes like a standard green juice), the bone broth with lemon, salt and pepper (tastes like a light soup), and the mint chip smoothie (tastes like a mint chip milkshake! Next time I’ll bring my own cup to avoid using single use plastic). Everything was tasty, and you get $2 back if you bring the bottle back. Service was very slow even though it wasn’t busy and there were two employees, but I will definitely return.

I would give this place a 5 star review if the people who worked there were friendly. But they are not. Otherwise, the juices are incredible. They have the best chocolate chip gluten free cookies I have ever had. The toasts are delicious as well.

An absolute must if you're in the SB area. Biked down through Butterfly Beach from State St and walked over to Juice Ranch. Love that there are food options, both breakfast and lunch using all fresh ingredients made in house. All juices are always so fresh and tasty. I wish I could've taken a pack of bottles to go but would've been tough for the ride. I enjoy their bagel sandwich a ton. Has the perfect amount of texture and creaminess from the cashew cream cheese. Wouldn't think it's an alternative at all, tasted delish! Harder to find smoothie/juice spots that don't just give you sugar. Definitely is a must id in town. A nice plus to walk around the villages into the shops as well.

It's great that they offer to golden tumeric lattes. I wish more places in town did too. I love their farmhouse bagel and I love that they have all plant-based cheeses. Thank you. If you want a real taste of California, you've got to come to the Juice Ranch. Kleen, healthy, delicious, great energy. My many thanks to the team and manager, Kaila. We had a bit of a speed bump and it's finally all been resolved. Thank you everyone. Can't wait to come back in.

This is such a cute shop off of Parker Way! I usually start here first and then walk State with my Scotty Mint Chip smoothie (it's so great)! Recently tried their avocado toast which I thought was very flavorful. The only thing that is hit or miss for me is the attitude of the employees. Some are super nice or are just annoyed that you are there. I wanted to buy some juice for the work week and I called prior to making the drive. I got there 5 minutes before closing and they locked the door on me! I drove from Ventura so I wasn't very happy. Other than that (hopefully) isolated incident, this is an awesome small local spot with a unique product. I always try to fit in a Juice Ranch visit while in SB :)

Everything here is incredibly delicious and healthy. The avocado toast is out of this world and the bagels sandwiches are truly spectacular. It's a bit pricey, but worth it. Splurge you deserve it!

The food was SOOOO YUMMY and it made me feel great after eating it. My mom was sort of scared of going to such a healthy place but even SHE loved it. We got avocado toast, the breakfast bagel and the gluten free bread with cashew cream cheese. Each was delicious and we will come again! Also loved my macha. Service was great and ambiance felt clean and healthy.

If you need an immunity pick me up or post work out drink or snack come here. They have various juices to choose from as well as different detox packages of juice. Did I mention that they have smoothies! That Scotty's mint chip taste like ice cream but without the guilt and dairy worries. Made with banana, mint, cashew milk and cacao nibs. The juice that I always get is the Johnny alive. This has more of an orange citric base to it with a kick of cayenne. Drink it alone or uses it as a mixer for a cocktail-excellent for a margarita. Located near Sevilla square in downtown.

Really disappointed by my experience here and hope the manager/owner looks to make some changes and improvements. Love the concept and really wanted to try their bagel sandwich that sounded delightful--the "farm-to-bagel" that consists of a toasted bagel with cashew cream cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouts, and seasoning. Sounded so fresh and delicious and their non-dairy cream cheese option drew me in. What I got was a very sloppily made sandwich that was skimpy on the toppings and just overall very poorly assembled. The bigger issue was the truly unprofessional manner of the employees. When I first placed my order there was just one girl working there. While she was working on my order, another employee arrived and employee #1 completely stopped making my order to socialize with employee #2. There's a clear view into the back kitchen and it's a small shop so it was easy to both see and hear what was going on. They were talking about their social plans/what to do after work and employee #1 was going back and forth between touching my food that she was prepping and touching/scrolling on her phone. She would take out a container, then stop working to look things up on her phone while talking to employee #2, and it took so long to get a simple bagel sandwich and was concerned about whether it was even safe to eat.

Apathetic service, tasteless Açaí and Smoothie. Super expensive as well. Later, I got sick. Did the worker put something in my food?

Yoda juice is a must! No fruit. Perfect for those avoiding carbs and sugar once in a while! Le French crackers also good! NO sugar added! And RAW! stop by! Small shop but yum juices, smoothies, snacks. Great service! Hard to spot from the street - right next to cute thrift store.

Loved their broth, and a number of their juices. Specifically the all greens one. Staff was great and efficient - great experience! Easily one of the best.

I visited the Juice Ranch for a healthy fresh green mermaid juice. I was surprised to see the cashier not wearing a mask and not friendly. I should have read reviews prior to going. While the juice was good and organic, it just made feel uneasy about their hygiene practices during a pandemic. Overall, a mixed experience. A bit pricey, but for organic cold pressed juice in SB about what you would expect to pay. Not sure if I will return.

I love juice ranch! Always so good and fresh. It is expensive but I do always love to go every once in a while for the mint smoothie or fresh juices.

Stopped by while on vacation to get my green juice fix! Adorable place with plenty of options. They use organic ingredients and focus on the good stuff. I got a green mermaid (I think) and the ginger and greens juices with a smoothie. Both were absolutely delicious! One thing to recommend is that I have a nut allergy, thus can't have almond milk. Having coconut milk as an option would've been great! I was able to sub coconut water for the smoothie but the milk would've definitely given it a "smoothie" like taste. Appreciate that everything is in glass jars and recyclable. Will be sure to be back next time we're in SB!

I stopped here before I got back on the road...just made a pit stop in Santa Barbara, wanted to walk the pier and just get some fresh air on my way to Ventura. So I stopped for a juice and avocado toast...both were very good. Enjoyed it very much. Always need to make sure that I get my daily juice in... A really nice place...very small...and I am sure quaint and pleasant when not in covid...staff was very nice as well.

Terrible service! I spend over a $100 per week buying juices here and am perplexed by the manager who makes rude personal comments and lectures me when I attempt to return the empty glass juice bottles so they can be recycled & used again. Bizarre behavior to say the least- I'll find another juice store to give my business to. If I could give zero stars to this review, I would.

Still awesome! I love this place and it will still be a must visit during my trips to SB. However yesterday I tried the vegan cupcakes and tumeric chocolate chip cookie and my goodness... Talk about desserts only a vegan could love. As a pretty avid baker I've made it a point to only share my GF/vegan desserts with others when its almost impossible to tell they're (somewhat) healthy and tastes good sans wheat flour or dairy. Unfortunately you could definitely taste the difference with these. While I still highly recommend Juice Ranch, you may want to venture elsewhere for a sweet treat if you're not strictly gf/vegan. Ordered the hulk again, which is still my go-to/favorite. And I did end up trying the bone broth which was delicious.

This place is super cute right off the main roads. They have a healthy menu with all kinda of juices and smoothies, bowls, etc. They were very quick on putting our smoothies together and they're honestly great. I got the scottys with almond butter and it's not super sweet which is just how i like it! Definitely recommend:)

Stopped by today for the first time after hearing about it from friends for a while now. I was very happy with the juice and immunity shot I ordered. I was expecting it to be made to order and it was just taken out of a fridge which did feel a little strange. No less, the juice was great, the immunity shot was a perfect balance, and all in glass bottles gave it a really quality feeling. I loved the $2 discount for bringing the bottle back as well especially since the juices are not cheap! Maybe I missed it but a rewards program would be really cool as well here. I am excited to come back and try some of the other things they have to offer.

My niece was mistreated by the manager that worked today, when she came in to get her refund for her empty bottle. This is unacceptable behavior!!!!

Horrible horrible horrible service. The manager was so rude. I have spent over $500 in green juices here for my daughter and I will never come here again. It is overpriced, and the business is terribly ran. Save your money and don't come here.

Came for a quick weekend trip and decided to stop by here since juice sounded refreshing in the morning. Ended up getting a smoothie instead and boy was it delicious it was so good we ended up coming back the following day to try another flavor. Finished my first one on the first day before I got to take a picture and the following day was halfway through before I remembered. That's how good these are - breakfast club (strawberries, blueberries, juice ranch granola, spinach, almond butter, bee pollen, juice ranch cashew milk) 5/5 - the hulk (banana, vanilla protein, mineral greens, matcha powder, cordyceps, coconut butter, dates, juice ranch cashew milk) 5/5 Unfortunately I live almost 2hrs away so I've attempted to remake what they made. Close but not the same. Now all I have are remnants of an amazing 2 mornings. I know this place is known for their juice but I would definitely recommend trying to smoothies. Great meal replacement or healthy dessert if you're looking for one.

Amazing service and amazing food. The smoothies were soooooo good! I would definitely recommend this place!

We always stop by Juice Ranch when we are in Santa Barbara. It is delicious. They have coffee, matcha, smoothies, juice, shots and food. Not to mention, a ton of awesome healthy retail items and gifts.

This place is so cute. Super healthy smoothies, bowls, and juices as well as salads and snacks. Workers are always so nice. It's pretty pricy but I love the juices. The ginger and greens one is my favorite. Will be coming back whenever i'm in the area.

I got the breakfast club smoothie and I really loved how fruity it was (tasted the berries really well). I also wanted an açaí bowl, but they didn't have any options for that. So, I asked them what the closest thing to an açaí bowl was and they were so nice about making my smoothie like an açaí bowl. They added granola and honey without charge to my smoothie!

I like juice ranch because they have some cool MYLK flavors like the lavender or the strawberry one was always my favorite. It is a little pricey around $14 for a juice but if you return the bottle you'll get your two dollar deposit back. Definitely a more mom and pop or juice place and I may stop by when I am in the area again

Products aside, I wasn't impressed by my one and only experience here. In these days of Covid and county requirements for masking, neither employee at the Santa Barbara store wore masks. It makes me wonder what other health requirements they are ignoring. This was after I finally gave up waiting for an email confirming my order was complete. Only after going in was I told that one of the items I ordered was not available (they had my number). Two drinks, $30. Did I actually pay that much for this kind of service? Never again.

Not only does the juice ranch have incredibly fresh and tasty juices, they have the best/ most unique avocado toast in Santa Barbara (maybe an overstatement but I truly love their avo toast). The toast comes on gluten free toast that is sourced from a local baker, they use a pesto spread on the toast before they pile it high with fresh avocado. Then there is an option to add sauerkraut (I would HIGHLY recommend) which it gives the toast a unique healthy twist. I could also rave on and on about their smoothies - overall this spot is great for fresh juices and smoothies AND incredible toasts (they also have an amazing cashew cream cheese toast or bagel that is equally as unique and yummy). The prices are fair considering you're feeding your body with the best ingredients - you also get some money back when you return your juice bottle which is super nice (plus eco friendly woo). Put this boutique juice shop on your list of "must tries" and go in to enjoy some yummy avo toast!

The food and smoothies here are amazing. We got the hulk smoothie, bagel, and avocado toast and all of it was divine. Perfect for a lighter bite!

I love the food here but shocked that employees are not wearing masks especially during the height of the pandemic!!

Come to SB regularly and never been here before. Must be because it's slightly hidden in back of state street on Parker Way. Anyway I go to try this place out and I will say I was pretty impressed. They have all kinds of juices and smoothies and although they are pricey they put up a sign in the store to explain why a juice would be so expensive. I get this question from many of my Yelp friends like Robert C asking why in the heck would someone pay so much for something so simple. Ok so I'll read off of their sign: 1) 100 % Organic 2) 100% local small batch farmers 3) Raw with short shelf life as nature intended 4) Glass bottles- Sanitation crew is a whole business in itself 5) Cold pressed keeping nutrition intact 6) Labor involved with waking up at 3 am and intensively juicing lots of produce 7) 4 pounds of of produce in a bottle (enough to make 20 salads) 8) Ethically sourcing these powerhouses takes a village 9) they donate 1% of profits to the environmental non profits. I've only tried the juices and they are all good. They also service a killer avo toast with bread sourced locally from a company called oat bakery. You can also buy this bread to go as well as other vitamin powders from sun power and a bunch of natural skin care products from Living LIbations. The only negative I have had here is the service is not as friendly as I would like from a juice shop. If you ask questions they are pretty curt and short on answering in any detail. Also they don't price any of their products on the shelves so you have to keep asking as each one is different. The staff frankly seem a bit bored to work there and that keeps me from wanting to hang out there very long which is a shame because they could help a lot of people looking for health advice or support.

Been meaning on leaving a review for awhile. Absolutely love this place. The greens and ginger, the LMS, the cashew milk, all SO good! Today i tried the oat bagel, and it was delicious. The service is always amazing-- Sam helped me today and she provided excellent service. I always leave with a smile!

If you're looking for fresh juice without sugar or other artificial ingredients, check out Juice Ranch. There are a variety of bottled juices to choose from and a menu that lists the ingredients in each with the health benefit of the drink. I ordered the Jalepina and my boyfriend ordered the Greens N Ginger. Both drinks were super tasty, and neither had too bold of an ingredient (Ie. The jalapeño wasn't too overwhelming and neither was the ginger). Each juice comes in a glass bottle that costs $2 on top of the drink price. If you return with the bottle, you can turn it in for $2 back or use it for another drink purchase. I'd definitely return to Juice Ranch for a healthy, refreshing juice.

This place was a really delicious surprise. My wife was at the end of a bad bout of food poisoning and was really depleted. I got her the ALKALINE CITRUS H20 and a THE HULK smoothie. The smoothie totally hit the spot as she hadn't been able to keep down anything nutritious. It was delicious and satisfying. I am sure the smoothie is also delicious without food poisoning. Lol. She sipped on the H2O all day and began to feel better. We will DEFINITELY order again to try some of the other goodies. Keep up the great work team!

I was staying in SB for a couple of weeks and had been well along my juicing ways before I had arrived. I love my local juicery and was hoping to find a place in SB/Montecito area. Juice Ranch has 2 locations both of which worked for me. Both locations had friendly staff. Parker location was out of 3 juices I needed. The nice girl helping me let me know that the truck had just arrived and asked if I was willing to wait for my juices. I was stoked I didn't have to come back. I did notice that in both locations when I asked for something specific they guided me to the menu. I would think that having total ingredient knowledge is a mandatory requirement! There aren't really that many choices - know your stuff and know it well. All in all I would totally go back. The juices, tonics, alkaline water and mylks were good. Prices are in alignment with any legit juicery. I bought a cool tote bag to carry my bottles that was branded by them. Nice touch!

As soon as I walked into this place I could see how fresh and colorful the juice looked pre-packaged in the neat glass bottles chilling in the fridge. I wanted to buy one of each flavor but they were kind of pricey so I just bought two. I paid $21 which is pretty steep but given the quality of ingredients used and packaging well I can see why it cost so much. I will definitely go back because I am very much into juicing and curious to try them all. I love the Almond joy which reminds me of horchata but a much healthier version. It's not too sweet at all but just right. Don't let the green juice scare you! I also tried the Greens n Ginger and it's yummy. The apple gives it a nice sweet taste and the ginger gives it a little spice. They have a recycle program so you are charged an extra $2 for each juice that you buy but you may either return the bottles after you finish the juice to collect a refund or you can put the $2 towards a new purchase.

Just bought my first cold-pressed juice from here. I don't know much about the whole idea and the benefits of drinking this v. regular juice, but I do hear a lot about juice cleanses. The location is interesting. Not many cars driving by because it's near a dead end. Parking seems to be a challenge, but there is a parking lot nearby. The store itself is pretty small, I only remember seeing a refrigerated display case and another one towards the back where the juices are. I purchased a Strawberry Pearl, which contains cashews, strawberries, pearl powder(?), white clover honey, Himalayan salt, and alkaline water. It also mentioned bone building and skin beautifying. My bottle was $12, which seemed excessive at first, but I see now that it's pretty normal for pressed juice. It also came in a nice glass bottle. They charged a $2 deposit to return the bottle afterwards, which I think is nice for the environment. The juice was definitely different from what I'm used to. Not as sweet, but still very refreshing. The consistency was also pretty thick; not exactly all liquid, but not a smoothie either. The closest drink I probably had to this is probably Naked Juice. I also bought a Strawberry flavored juice from Pressed Juicery to see if there was a difference. I'm new to all of this, but I honestly couldn't really tell at all. I guess the Juice Ranch was thicker, but they were pretty similar, at half the price. However, that one came in a plastic bottle, so it didn't feel as nice. The workers I interacted with were very kind. The only complaint I have was probably the tipping option on the register. I didn't see any option for no tip, only buttons for 10%, 15%, 20%, and custom amount. It appeared as if they were forcing the customer to tip, which doesn't seem right. Nothing wrong with asking for tips, especially when you have great service, but it seemed like I wasn't given a choice at all. And then they had a tipping jar on the counter as well. Regardless, I do appreciate the great lengths they go to provide a quality product. Locally made, 100% organic, all very great. Waking up 3:30 AM every morning to do all this? Crazy. The price (not just Juice Ranch, but pressed juice in general) still irks me. It's amazing how many people purchase this on a regular basis. Drinking this every week isn't exactly college student friendly. Under different financial circumstances, I'd probably go here more often. It'll probably be a long time before I try to go on one of their juice cleanses, but I'll keep it in mind.

Yaya...as in the employee who took our order. We order/eat from here DESPITE how consistently put out the front counter ladies make us feel. Today, after purposely taking months off from ordering here, we took a chance and got Yaya. She had joy in her voice! She gave suggestions! She let us change our order without making us feel bad! She even giggled during the call! Get more people like Yaya and PAY them their worth. I've never tipped as much as I did today. She was such a great representative of Juice Ranch. Make her a manager and have her train everyone on customized service.

This is the worst smoothie I've ever had... it's chunky and pretty tasteless. Also! Suuuuuper over priced. I'd pay 10$ to NOT have to drink that. Wouldn't give me a cup of water because they didn't want to waste their cups. I'll never come back. Btw! Doesn't this look like guacamole?!

If you are looking for place to get fresh juice that is locally produce then you need to come to juice ranch! All of their juices are made without sugar and cold-pressed juices. They have a great variety of different bottled juices to choose from and they also list what the health benefit is of each juice. I have tried many of their juices but my three favorites are Beach Beet, Strawberry Peal, and Greens N Ginger. All of their juices come in a glass bottle that costs $2 on top of the juice price. They expect you to come back to return the bottle and once you do that you can get your $2 back or you can use it towards your next juice purchase. Their juices are more pricey then other places in town but they are locally made daily. I have never tried any of their food but they do have a selection of food items and snacks that can be purchased.

Heady and delicious if your into that kind of thing. I'll be back! Had the breakfast smoothie added cacao nibs and maca. Yumm

Came during Coronavirus lockdown for some immunity shots. We were helped by two different people on two different days and both were incredible friendly and mindful of being extra sanitary. The shots were great... some combination of ginger, garlic, cayenne and lemon? We aren't from the area and wished we had a Juice Ranch close to home!

Juice Ranch is a cute hole in the wall juice place that offers a great variety of delicious cold-pressed juice. I love that the juice is organic, cold-pressed and in glass bottles. Also, they give you $2 back per bottle when you return them which is nice. The staff has always been friendly and informative. Their menu lays out the benefits of each juice which I also really like. If you're in the area, I'd say this is the go-to place for great juice! Favorites: Greens n' Ginger with extra ginger Johnny Five Alive Little Miss Sunshine

I wasn't sure what to expect, but overall had a great experience here! I came in probably looking confused and the girl at the register was more than happy to recommend their juices to me and even let me sample a few of them. The Apollo was super good and refreshing, but being new to the world of juice, I was thrown off by how spicy it was. Apparently the spice level can vary based on the pepper so it's possible that the next batch is a little milder. However after trying the Strawberry Pearl, I knew that was going to be what keeps me coming back. It's made with cashews, beets, dates, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and alkaline water and tasted like a really refreshing and healthy strawberry milk despite not containing dairy. Cost of the juice ranges from $10-12, with another $2 for the bottle deposit, but you get that back if you return it. They also offer toasts and desserts! It's a cool little shop, although a bit expensive.

I have been coming here for years and am always happy with everything. Today my greens with xtra ginger was literally like green water. This was a first I'm writing this review so the owners can check quality control. Thank you btw my beet juice was as usual

I really want to like this place and support it, but they repeatedly DO NOT disclose when they're missing ingredients on the farm to bagel. You need to tell people that they're only getting half the ingredients when you run out! I would just order something else instead of accidentally leaving with something I didn't want. It's extremely frustrating to get back to work and have the best parts of the bagel missing. No sprouts, no onion - no warning.

Juice ranch has the best juice in Santa Barbara. It is not cheap (around $12) but $2 is refunded when you return the glass bottle. It is also made daily with fresh ingredients. I love the greens and ginger. They even make one with extra ginger. The immunity shots also do the job when you are feeling under the weather. The smoothies are also really yummy but I sometimes have a hard time justifying $10 for a smoothie. They have an axxess deal for buy one get one juice or smoothie if you go with a friend or want to get an extra juice for free!

Nope. Chunky and disgusting. I did not appreciate the staff either. Smoothies are so easy to do well why come waste your money here?

I've been coming to Juice Ranch for a little over two years off and on. Overall, I really love all the juices they offer and shakes as well! I've never tried any food items from the display case though. Happy to see they have a new menu board as well. The only thing is the service. I find the sales associate doesn't really make conversation. Sometimes I don't know what juice to get, and I'm just staring at the board. I think it would be beneficial to start a small conversation to help ease my decision. However, my last visit here I did have a great experience! The team member was super outgoing and interactive, I appreciated her.
