Juicy Lucy Juice Bar

I passed by Juicy Lucy and decided to try it for the first time. I wasn’t sure what to get and was going to leave but the sweet lady at the counter was so welcoming and she made me try one of the juices she was making and I LOVED it. I liked it so much that I had to buy my own. The place is so refreshing to walk into. It is super clean and customer service was on point! Shout out to you, Lady! I will definitely be back for more!

I was looking for something on the healthy side for breakfast. I finally stopped in and order the peanut butter bowl. 20 dollars later I got a large bowl filled with sugar. The only natural fruit was a sliced banana.The açaí was frozen solid and sweet. There were chocolate chips mixed with coco nibs and skippy peanut butter. I had a stomach ache afterwards. For twenty dollars maybe add some strawberries, blueberries, and natural peanut butter or almond butter. I’m glad I stopped in to support a small business, but I’ll never get the peanut butter bowl again.

ahh! i wish this spot was in my neighborhood. i stumbled upon juicy lucy on a chilly evening on my way to the subway. i was easily swayed by the price of the coffee and let me tell you, it was 15/10. my drink was made to perfection and was just what i needed to get me through. there’s a little bench you can hangout on while your drink is made and other treats to purchase too. highly recommend! service was quick and friendly.

Juicy Lucy has become one of my favorite places in the East Village. I love their hospitality, cleanliness and attention to detail with every order. Everyone in there is super nice but my favorite one is Lady. She always makes the best smoothies and always makes you feel welcomed. Looking forward to my next visit!

One of my faves of all time in the East Village. Their acai smoothies are great!

Very delicious and good-sized Acai bowl. Loved the atmosphere as well.

Really healthy juice bar! Very clean . The fruits and vegetables looked very fresh. Friendly and kind staff! I got original Acaì bowl and it was AMAZING!! Highly recommended!!!

My coffee banana smoothie was good! Not much seating available inside.

Amazing spiced hot apple cider and zucchini bread. Definitely go here! If you want to have a very inexpensive and delicious time!

When I visit my son in E Village I visit every morning. Fast friendly service and delicious coffee.

Not sure anyone here knows what an açaí bowl supposed to taste like? I live nearby and stopped for a much needed açaí bowl. I got the Rio bowl and asked to substitute the banana for strawberries and they have no fresh strawberries?! Okay, I went with it. $12 later for a bowl half the size I get in LA, I got watery, subpar açaí bowl. They blend it with frozen strawberries and had chunks in it that weren't blended well. There were barely any toppings and was an overall disappointment. I've been to Brazil half a dozen times and had açaí everywhere in the states and was never this disappointed. Not coming back.

Went today , place is really terrific . Great service , really cute spot and the juices and the quality of ingredients was really impressive. Was overheating in todays weather and it was the perfect thing to keep me going and more then anything tasted really great. Will be back !

I've walked by here plenty of times in the past few years but never felt the urge to walk inside. However, recently I was picking up a to-go order from a restaurant next door and decided to stop by to see what this place was all about. I ordered their special green juice, which was a dollar more expensive than most of the other drinks on the menu. After tax, my 16oz juice was close to $8 - which seemed a reasonable price to pay for all of the veggies it included. I chose this particular juice because I wanted more greens and less fruits. The juice itself tasted really healthy, but was a little too heavy on the ginger for me. Unfortunately, the veggies and fruits they use are room temperature, so the juices come out lukewarm, which I didn't really like. I had some juice leftover that I put in the fridge overnight and actually thought it tasted much better cold. The storefront is very tiny, and besides a little tiny bench inside and the larger bench outdoors, there isn't much seating available. Come and grab to-go!

I love a place that serves Bustelo. Owned by a Cuban woman, this place is serving as a humble hidden gem right next to the F train 2nd Ave station. The large Bustelo sign caught my eye (I'm Dominican) and their fresh juices and smoothies looked delicious. Of course I went with the Cafe con leche and it was the perfect blend of rich expresso and milk. Will definitely stop by again for a smoothie (their Pitaya one specifically )

Hidden gem in the East Village! Was immediately attracted to this place because of how cute it looked on the outside. This spot is a grab and go type of place. They have a great selection from juices, to smoothies to açaí bowls. I ordered a grande strawberry banana smoothie ($6.50) and the fruit tasted fresh. It was the perfect pick me up drink. The service was awesome! The lady who was working was so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back to try out the other items on the menu!

Been here a few times and have only gotten smoothies so I can't speak to the açaí bowls. Smoothies are super good but for some reason they take FOREVER. That's the only reason my review is 3 stars. If you have 10-15 min to kill while waiting for a small smoothie - you'll love this place

I went in there to see if they had any green juice for a bad cold. I bought their "Flu Shot" green juice and a turmeric booster and feel much better today. The lady behind the counter could not have been more helpful and nice.

The acai bowl was great. A bit more expensive than other acai bowls, but it's packed with bananas and chocolate chips. The place is small, so don't expect to sit down to enjoy your bowl, but luckily Tompkins Square Park is right next door. Very friendly staff and vibe. Another customer started chatting with me about how he used to live in Brazil and this place is the most authentic acai bowl he's been able to find in the city -- high praise!

I don't know what I expected from the east village, but I stopped in on a typical hot summer day for a refreshing drink and was shocked by the prices. Definitely overpriced, and frankly not worth it based on my hangover cure order.

I wanted to be healthy and ordered a juice lol. I was expecting something drinkable? What I received was a really really tart and sweet juice. I wanted to be able to taste the ginger as described, the parsley and the greens. It seemed like they just dumped I ripe green apples and pineapple. And I paid close to $9. I also asked if they substitute ingredients and the guy said they don't. I don't know about this place...there's too many good juice places to come back here again.

かわいー、種類いっぱーい、健康的ね。 I stoped by small store Because there are a lot of nice juicy juices. i love all of them and also cute bag ! If u r looking for nice NY place, lets try and stop by here!

Juicy Lucy offered exactly what I was looking for! A refreshing smoothly that didn't have any frills (e.g., added sugar, etc). It was simply fruity deliciousness.

Is Juicy Lucy vastly different from all the other trendy juice bars in the East Village? No. But do they have a wide selection of delicious smoothies? Yes. I ordered the chai banana smoothie and my friend had the one with banana and coffee--both were super refreshing, cinnamon-y, and tasty! I liked that they had a few less fruity smoothies to offer in case you're in the mood for something a little different. They also had plenty of fruitier options, and lots of cold-pressed juices as well. The people working there were friendly and we didn't wait very long for our smoothies. If you're in the mood for a smoothie, give this place a try!

Got a fruit smoothie on a scalding hot day. I guess where I come from, smoothies usually have ice and are refreshing. Whoops, this one was warm and gooey. I suppose there might be some people who like that, but I totally wasn't expecting it.

Our new neighborhood juice bar. Got the energy booster juice. Fresh, quick and friendly. 2 thumbs/ paws up!

best smoothies i've had in this city recommend açaí berry smoothie (i replace the apple juice with almond milk so it's less sweet, but still very sweet) also recommend pineapple/mango/guava smoothie (i had it with strawberries because they were out of guava, it was delicious) - also replaced the apple juice with almond milk to make the sweetness more manageable service was great, just absolutely delicious - been back there 5 times now

DRINK QUALITY: Having been to many juice bars on the west side, I kind of felt that the ingredients here weren't as fresh and you could tell because the drink itself, while refreshing, wasn't vibrant with flavors. It's kind of like comparing the vibrance and the freshness of a freshly opened can of coke with another can that's been opened & sitting in the fridge for a half-day/day. Their recipes were pretty decent though; I just would've liked their ingredients to be fresher. 3.5

Hole in the wall smoothie shop. Can't imagine going anywhere else to get a smoothie in the LES. Although it's cash only, I still love it! Their smoothies are made carefully and have never disappointed. Tiny shop with no where to sit/hang out inside, but I think there's a bench outside Also sells a variety of individually wrapped snacks and baked goods

I love this place and go here weekly! They have some items they've taken off the menu due to supply chain issues, but everything that's available has been fresh and delicious. I've never had a bad experience with the staff here and find them all really sweet! My favorite is the Açaí Rio and their Basic C juice. It can sometimes take a few minutes, but they're making everything fresh so I don't mind. Even with 3 customers ahead of me in line, I waited less than 10 minutes for an açaí bowl (which are also really good and I'm picky about mine!). Their prices are also extremely reasonable for the area and quality; I've paid way more for juices that tasted like they were mostly water. Overall, a great local spot to support and enjoy!!

This is the cutest little juice shop. a small juice will only cost you about $4 which is less than half of what you would pay at juice press, organic ave, etc. The bottled cold press juice is $9 but the fresh juice is so much better. This place offers other items such as coffee, tea, smoothies, cupcakes/muffins/cookies and soup. I have only tried one soup here which was the broccoli cheddar and it was good. It is cash only but most items here cost less than $5

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would- let me explain why.. I came into this dump yesterday, I really wasn't feeling good actually my blood pressure was super low and I needed anything to up raise it back up well wrong mistake coming here! Since I wasn't feeling well and I mean to the point words were not coming out of my mouth all that well the women with glasses looks at me like I'm crazy and was beyond rude to be until I finally said listen give me a wheatgrass shot with a slice on orange please, when I asked for orange wedge it was like I was asking for champagne ( eye roll ) get over yourself. Coming here made me feel worse than walking into this closest like dump before hand! Avoid this PLACE - they don't know how to treat people like decent human beings!

Quick service, lots of options,colorful community vibe. When I need to increase my veggie intake without actually cooking, I stop by Juicy Lucy. Smooth sailing .

This place rules because they have a decent amount of choices and it's freaking cheap as hell for a decent sized juice or smoothie. Unlike at the dreadful Jamba Juice, they don't overly sweeten/fatten up with sugar/cream/yogurt/whatever and can make things to order. And there is a nice array of vegan baked goods as well, if you're in the mood for something a bit more substantial. I will be a regular customer all summer!

The piña colada was a bit watery but overall it tasted nice and the person there was really nice

I am having a mixed feeling on Juicy Lucy. After I completed a juice cleansing program, I have been on a lookout for a closer-to-reality price for natural organic pressed juice. I heard Juicy Lucy is cheaper than major players out there so I stopped by to pick up a bottle of All Green. It is $6.5 a bottle, expensive but about $2 cheaper than other places. I was so excited about that I took a big sip and thought it would be a great movie theater beverage and God was I wrong. It had an odd after taste, possibly from cucumber or celery. The ginger or juice inside did not seem to help either. I am sure it is probably the healthiest juice out there since I don't even taste any bit of sweetness. However, I would rather eat salad in this case. I did pick up a slice of banana bread and it was nutty, soft and sweet. I might still return to try other "juices" that do not contain so much vegetables. I hope it will taste better.

Not the cheapest but the best tasting smoothies ever. The açaí berry smoothie is the best smoothie I've ever tasted. EVER.

My boyfriend and I go here almost every weekend! Love the PB bowl and always get it with coconut on top. I crave this place and will be a customer for years to come!

Really yummy juice spot, so small, cute and fresh. However, the girl working was pretty rude and kinda brought down the whole vibe of the place - huge bummer. Won't be back as much

Super cute juice bar in LES, right off of Tompkins Park. Lots of smoothie options and you can build your own as well. Lots of little bread and sweets options available and the staff is very nice. We got açaí bowls and they were great! Would definitely recommend this place. It's easy to miss since it's such a hole in the wall but it's worth a try!

OMG! Is been years since I don't walk into a random place and it turns out to be a gem! The lady serving does everything with so much love and passion that you already enjoying before getting your juice! I while I was was there a guy walked in just for a ginger shoot and was so thrilled to have it that I had to get one! Oh boy! With this cold night it for me just right!!! The açaí bowls are the bomb!!

It may be a small space, but it juices the pants off of the competition. I liked how I could construct my own vegetables-only concoction for under $4, unless some other juice bars (cough, cough Liquiteria). Why is it that apples or pears end up in veggie juices? The lack of frills just means that they're spending more of their resources on the ingredients and the love.

I've finally tried this place out and I like the wheatgrass shots. Haven't tried anything else out yet, but I plan to sample the juices and smoothies eventually - on a day when I want something other than a grass shot.

An east village staple with fresh to-go juices, smoothies, breakfast bowls, bakery items, and more. Definitely my go-to hangover location. A shot of wheatgrass and banana-coffee smoothie does the trick every time.

The best fresh made juices in the area. Love the combination of flavors. I could visit this place every day

Lovely local business everything is very fresh. Acai/smoothie bowls seem pricey but the serving size is very generous

Such a gem. Support juicy Lucy!!! Always fresh. Sweet people. Better than any big chain juice. I recommend skinny jean Amy juice

When you're able to make such a healthy idea unhealthy ... I got the peanut butter acai bowl and it was beyond what I imagined in terms of peanut butter. It tasted like I'm eating sweetened peanut butter the whole time. It was over whelming and gross. If it didn't cost me 12+$ since I sub almond milk for Apple juice I would have tossed it after the 1st bite. Halfway after force feeding myself, I felt sick and my stomach knotted. In addition to the acai bowl I got their double banana chai. It's shake my head bad.... Aside from banana the other ingredients included whole milk and some type of syrupy sauce. I tasted nothing fresh about it.

Reading the previous review by Julie B made me want to take action. I have been a faithful and devoted acolyte of Juicy Lucy's every single time I am in the neighborhood. I have been always amazed by the amount of charm, service, and selection that comes out of such a small space. I'm a little saddened and amazed that Julie B. felt that a small business only accepting cash was such an insult to her sense of entitlement. Someone expects you to have a tiny amount of american legal-tender currency in your possession in order to pay for something? The horror! I bet it was really, really hard to find an ATM in New York, huh boo? You probably cried cuz you had to touch some dirty, dirty cash that drug-dealers touch, huh? Oh well. Julie B. probably got upset because she had to drink a wonderful, refreshing , fresh fruit smoothie from Juicy Lucy's instead of her regular diet of Hater-ade and prunes. But I digress.... Suffice it to say that I'm a HUGE fan of Juicy Lucy's and a loyalist, even though I no longer live in New York. I suggest that people like Julie B. stick to the outlets of monolithic corporations such as Starbuxxx and JoombaJuice for their safety, sterility, and (credit-card accepting) convenience rather than submit to the charm, quirkiness, and personalized service of of privately owned establishments (where people are allowed to have bad days). Call me a freak but I'd rather deal with a little attitude and personalized service than be a tool.

An LES local friend gets his coffee here every morning and on a recent Wednesday I joined him on his way to work. It seems from the reviews that this is more the place to go for a refreshing glass of juice on a hot summer day. But on this chilly January morning, my cafe con leche hit the spot. I must note, however, that my Miami roots came out here and I could definitely taste the difference between the Brazilian cafe con leche and the cuban one I was expecting (cubans use more sugar, natch). But I'm picky. It was warm and satisfying, and I love little stands like this. I'll be be back, I'm sure.

Since I like to workout never, I try to avoid too much fruit after my breakfast. This usually lasts until around11:05am. Then I head over to Juicy Lucy for hard-to-burn carbohydrates in the form of fruity blended beverages. Also sometimes a cookie. Juicy Lucy, with its two locations a street apart from each other, is arguably one of four best juice bars in the city. (The other three: One Lucky Duck, Liquiteria, Melvin's Juice Box.) It's also the cheapest. It's small but it's a stand. This tends to be the case with stands. If there is a line it never lasts too long, unlike at other juice bars where your hair grays while you wait. There is a little bench to sit on inside that is not at all comfortable but its mere presence is comfort enough. They sell pre-mixed juices if you're in a hurry. If you're not, go with the options displayed on the sign above the register. There are many and everything I have had has been wonderful. For juices you can pick your own ingredients, up to 3, of various fruits and veggies (sippin on ginger and juice... Hahaha, dumb). You can also order one of several smoothies, caffeinated beverages, or lemonades. A bit too much to drink last night? Try the hangover juice (apple, something I don't remember, cucumber) or just grab a coconut with a straw sticking out of it. Lately they have had gazpacho as their soup of the day special- I had it yesterday and I had it again today. It's good. It doesn't have the kick that Num Pang's gazpacho has but that's why I take it home and spice it up a little. Juicy Lucy brings to mind the rum stands in the Caribbean. It makes you happy even though you aren't surrounded by sand or wearing a bikini and flip flops.

Picture it: you're a student teacher. Your day consists of getting up before the sun rises, going to an elementary school, staying there for 7 hours while cute, wacky children secretly wipe boogers on you, and then rushing to your grad school classes for 4 more hours. You get home after the sun goes down, and then you do a bunch of homework for like 100 more hours until you get to sleep for 17 seconds and do it all again. Did I mention you're not getting paid to do any of this? No, no. You're going into massive debt to do this, my friend. You're paying to do this! Ha! What a crazy world we live in. The only thing that keeps your brain from literally liquefying and pouring our of your ears? THE CAFE CON LECHE AT JUICY LUCY. If this spot was not on my walk to school, I might be asleep on the train right now instead of writing this. Yes, it's $4. Perhaps I will sell a kidney. Any takers?

Hi, I'm a smoothie slut. I'm also a huge fan of chai. And bananas. Bananas and chai? I never thought I'd think of the combination as something I'd keep drinking even through a brain freeze on both sides of my forehead. I'm not one to hold up a line by asking what everything is or counting 33 cents in pennies, but I was the only one there and the girl who helped me asked what I liked &she recommended the double banana chai smoothie. &I was like owwwmahhhgahhh, I'm sooo in loveee... I will be back. I want to try their lemonade, and the melon mango ginger sans the ginger smoothie. No mystery fruit or syrups here! Wayyy better than Jamba Juice. Honestly, how can you trust Jamba Juice when they have a "secret menu" with crap like gummie bear, skittles, starburst, and FRUITY PEBBLES flavored smoothies... Even Andrew Zimmern would say that's just wrong.

The first time I walked into Juicy Lucy's, I thought I had stepped into the kitchen of someone who could bake really well. It smells delicious. Oh, and by kitchen, I mean a real Manhattan kitchen; in terms of space, Juicy Lucy is a teensy cubbyhole that would be a great place to duck into if you were being chased. For a cubbyhole, though, this delicious juice bar stocks an orchard full of all sorts of fruits, herbs, and nectars, just waiting to be concocted into a juice or smoothie creation of your choice. (They have fresh watermelon juice--yum!) The smell of fresh-baked goodness likely comes from their array of vegan treats, although I haven't tried any. Lately, I've been obsessed--wait, make that addicted--to one of their smoothies, thanks to the recommendations of fellow Yelpers (you folks have made me a wee bit poorer this summer). It's the Amazon Cherry Energy Smoothie with Vitamin C. I don't know what else is in there besides cherry juice, vitamin C and ginseng, but it might be magic. It's five dollars and ninety-seven cents of heaven. That said, I was annoyed with them during one of my last visits. If your store says it's open until eleven, please don't make me feel like an unwanted houseguest when I walk in at 10:15 pm. I went in there, and I had to wait for the guy behind the counter to stop chatting on his cellphone to ask me what I wanted. Now, I have a peeve about paying for services when you can't even give customers the common courtesy of refraining from talking on the phone to someone else--it makes me think you don't care about keeping my business. If you're a small business that sells smoothies for about 40% more than Jamba Juice, good customer service on your end goes a long way. Anyway, when I asked for my smoothie fix, he shut me down, telling me that it was too late and he had already cleaned the blender for the night. I could get coffee, though, he told me. Dude. The reason I hit up your juice bar is because I don't drink coffee (nothing holier than thou about it, I just don't like the taste) and I want something sweet and more refreshing than the Diet Coke in my fridge. Ugh. So there's a tip for you: Juicy Lucy is open until 11, but if you want something involving a blender...well, it closes earlier.

It's quite possible that I'm obsessed with smoothies. It's just perfection in a cup. Fruits, natural goodness, with some juice, some ice, and don't forget the love. While I absolutely love Jamba, there's nothing quite like some fresh fruits and ice, all dancing happily together in a blender, getting ready to dive into muh belly. So it was no surprise that walking towards the subway after getting my ass kicked by David at Kang Xin, hungry but with no time to eat a meal, I saw this adorable little stand with an even more adorable (but kind of dirty, lovez it!) name: Juicy Lucy's. I walked over. Smoothies don't take long and it's totally like my favorite thing ever when it's warm out. I scoped out the menu. Decent prices. Not too much variation, but that's okay... then I spot the Amazon cherry concoction. I have no idea what was in it. Possibly some cherry juice. But it was all sorts of delicious. Cost me $5.50 but I really liked this! Rock on cherries! It took me less than 5 minutes to finish this bad boy, it was so refreshing! And I was in so much pain... Rock on, Juicy Lucy. I'm no vegan, but I appreciate your pastries. But I also appreciate dairy in my smoothies...

This is my favorite place to go for an excellent iced coffee and the best smoothies ever. Their service is top notch. You just can't go wrong at this place. They are simply the best!!

Tiny little store but I had the best green juice there. Ordered two kinds: all greens (with ginger) and the cold buster (with the substitution of carrots with pineapple). The medium size is big enough for our appetites, merely cost 4 dollars!! What a bargain. The all greens was as good as all the other juice places, slightly better because of the ginger. The COLD BUSTER was the best juice I've ever had, it turned out to be green with some foam, because of the added pineapple. OMG, if only this place is closer to me. But then again, it won't be this cheap, and become more commercialized and fancy looking like Liquiteria, rather than focusing on the healthy ingredients and quality themselves.
