Juicekeys

Tl;Dr: tasty but on the pricey side smoothies and sandwiches, served in a lovely setting by attentive staffJuicekeys is a little downtown smoothie shop that's bigger than it looks from the outside. You order at the counter right by the front door, and there's ample seating inside and upstairs. Aesthetic is dark wood, local murals, and hipster lights. This would be a nice place to get some work done as a coffeeshop alternative. We ordered the chocolate fix bowl, a turkey and ham dipper, and one of their oopskey mystery smoothies. I got one item for free as part of a Yelp Elite event, and they were kind enough to point out which item was the most expensive to make free. The chocolate fix bowl and Oopskey smoothies were super thick and lucious. Spoons, not straws, for these! The chocolate bowl was chocolatey without being too much, and the granola, coconut, and chocolate chips added a nice crunch and additional sweetness. The Oopskey was a fun mix of random smoothies. My guess is that they save whatever is leftover in the blender from making ordered smoothies and sell it for half price. Mine had some tasty nut butter smoothie (light brown) and a sweet and fruity pink smoothie that I assume was strawberry, but the bulk was purple and I assume blueberry. I honestly didn't love it at first taste - it had some aftertaste that is maybe the protein powder? - but it grew on me enough to finish it (though I probably wouldn't order it again). Overall, a fun adventure and a great deal at $6. I would get this again and try some different colors. Finally, the dipper was a turkey and ham sandwich on gluten free bread and pressed like a panino. It came generously stuffed, and the bread didn't taste like it was gluten free.The only downside is that the food is fairly pricey, but the smoothies were well made, delicious, and filling. I'd come here if I wanted a healthier feeling lunch and/or if I needed gluten free options. Or for the $6 oopskey deal.

Juicekeys in downtown Durham is a gem for health-conscious food lovers. They offer an inviting and cozy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying their delicious smoothies, bowls, and healthy treats. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for a nutritious and tasty experience!

Have been meaning to come here for some time since I've moved to NC and was not disappointed.Food: I ordered a smoothie bowl because I've been craving açaí bowls. I chose the strawberry bowl as is. It was delicious and great flavor and texture. Not too sweet. I had to drive home 10 minutes before having any so I popped in the freezer for 5 minutes and texture was still great. Service: Clarence the manager I believe was extremely friendly and helpful. Great small talk about the area and the offerings while I waited. I came on a Thursday before 12pm so there was no1 there. I didn't wait long for the item. Checkout process and ordering is very simple. Ambiance: parking is VERY difficult. Even at the time I went I had to circle around to get a spot close by. All parking is metered. Still, the location is very welcoming. With two levels and nice wood seating and lighting. Nice if you want to come in and work quietly. Price: I will say this is very pricey for a smoothie. If it were an açaí bowl I MIGHT justify it. Ingredient are very fresh and bowl size is moderate (enough to save half)... But still.. I would love to try other flavors but at the price not sure I can justify making this a regular spot.

Refreshing flavors, vibrant atmosphere, and friendly service makes juice keys a go-to spot for a healthy indulgence! From classic to inventive creations, each sip bursts with fresh ingredients and nourishing goodness. Whether you're a wellness enthusiast or just craving a delicious pick-me-up, this place hits the spot every time. A must-visit for anyone.

If you are looking for a healthy refreshing snack in these hotter months then this is your place. I stopped in and got their berry smoothie and you could tell it was fresh. It is not overly sweetened with syrups so you can actually taste the fruit. I also grabbed some of their chicken salad for a snack later and it was a delicious. There was plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs if you were there to get a little bit of work done. The staff was also very friendly!

KEYS to great health is the mission for Juice Keys which they execute so well! Today I stopped by to grab their delicious Green Delight smoothie bowl Located close to #duke and #nccu it's a great place to work or break! There a huge upstairs loft and plenty of downstairs seating as well.

The smoothie bowl at juice keys was amazing!! It was thick and didn't melt quickly. I love how they put a second layer of granola in the middle so you don't run out of toppings. It was delicious! The service was good - they do have an app that lets you do curbside pickup which I imagine would be really helpful for the location downtown

Green delight power smoothie really delicious! The dippers with roast beef (which us old folks still call a sandwich) was roast beef & I don't like peppers & the congenial young lady at the counter obliged by switching some items out. Upstairs that would be private & quiet. Unusual in a shop of this type & I like it. They have juices for cleansing that you can get discounts on if you're interested. Great location across the street from one of my favorite hotels downtown. Park on street around the corner & there's handicapped there too. Sometimes hard to find in Durham unfortunately. Very clean & cute little spot, I'll check out again!!

Lovely smoothie place. Great decor, delicious options, kind staff. It's right downtown, so I often have to park on the street or in a lot a few blocks away, but if you're strolling around and need a smoothie or smoothie bowl, this is a great spot.

Totally forgot that Oak House was closed on Sundays and I was needing some coffee, so I stopped in fully planning to just grab a cold brew from their super convenient cooler up front. However, at the recommendation of one of the employees, I tried their Bulletproof coffee. Espresso, coconut cream, a touch of maple syrup--YUM! It's a ton of flavor packed in a small cup, so don't let the size fool you. While I waited, there was a nice bench for me to sit on, but I'm sure that you could have also sat at any of the cute tables inside.
