The Most Flavorful Juice Bars & Smoothies in New Orleans

Sharetea - Harvey

★★★★☆ 4.3 (11)

"Nice place to hang with friends or get some work done. The inside is clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. There's a good amount of drinks that are offered so anyone can find something they'll like. Some favorites are the classic pearl milk tea, kiwi fruit tea with aiyu jelly, mango passion fruit to name a few. You can customize drinks to your liking with different ice levels and sweetness levels if the drinks allow it. Drink prices are probably some of the best compared to other places in the area. Service is friendly and efficient. They also always have good music playing to pair with the ambiance! They are a little tucked away from street view but they are located across from Panera bread next to Paco's Tacos."

Gretna Nutrition

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"My MIL and I came here post-workout to try their meal replacement shakes. I'm a fan of the nutrition franchise from others I've visited in GA and TN. The young lady offered different choices and was extremely kind. The inside is clean, quiet, and had tables to lounge at. I would return!"

Down the Bayou Nutrition & Energy

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I stopped by for a quick shake for lunch. The shake is amazing and staff is very friendly. I highly recommend trying it out!"

PJ's Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.8 (24) • $

"We loved their lattes so much, we had breakfast there three days in a row! While cafe au lait is nice, we're diehard latte fans and were so lucky to find PJs, also close to our hotel."

2 Phat Vegans

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"So happy to add this new vegan spot to the French Quarter. Lots of wonderful options to choose from and non-vegans won't be disappointed in trying what they have to offer either. The hot sausage poboy dressed similar to a Big Mac. I will say it's not super fast but you can order online or via the phone in advance if you want things to go."

Bamboo Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (31) • $$

"Came back recently to try a few other things and I am even more impressed! Their owner, Jim, who I finally got to meet, makes all of the soup/noodle dishes himself! So it definitely has that homemade Vietnamese flavor. Another thing, they sell fresh nuoc rau ma, which is pennywort. It is my favorite drink ever! It is so refreshing. My friend tried it and says it tastes very grassy. So definitely not for everyone. And, they are the only Vietnamese restaurant IN THE CITY to sell mi quang. And it is rollllinnnggg. It's served with wide, yellow noodles, shrimp, and a few other things. Bun rieu - this is a vermicelli soup dish that comes with Tofu, pork blood, and crabmeat balls. This is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes and Bamboo Cafe is probably my favorite place to get it.Bun bo hue - spicy beef noodle soup. This soup dish has so much flavor. The only thing I would recommend is to have pig hock in it. Not many people like eating it in restaurants bc of how dirty it can get, but it makes BBH so much better. The accoutrements are lime, fresh basil, cabbages, bean sprouts, and fresh chili peppers that are cut up. They also provide shrimp paste and sate for added flavor and spice. All of their soup dishes come out piping hot, which is how all restaurants should serve their food! I will come back again and again and recommend it to all of my friends."

Tropical Smoothie Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11)

"Great super fresh smoothie. My first time trying was today. Got a chicken apple flatbread, that was delicious. Got the island green smoothie that was yummy also. Definitely can tell made with fresh ingredients not purées. Inside decor was nice and light also. Will be back!"

The Daily Beet

★★★★★ 4.6 (324) • $$

"I frequent the Daily Beet often and it's always really solid! The food is fresh, flavorful and legit healthy. My go to order is the orbit bowl though it sometimes is very rice heavy- it has vegetables, egg, a really good vinaigrette and fills me up but not too much. I pair that with the almond butter chocolate chip energy bites. Y'all these things are delicious but not too sweet! I wish they were cheaper- I think you get 2 for $4 so I don't get them every time I go. My other favorite sweet treat is the dragon fruit chia seed pudding- it's tasty but not too sweet and very filling. It's also kinda pricey so I don't get it all the time either. The service is always great- folks are friendly and will provide recommendations or explain recipes if you have dietary concerns or restrictions. The ambience is nice, it's an open space and sometimes people will bring their laptop to eat and work. They have limited outside seating, a solid playlist and it's clean, bright and inviting. Daily Beet will continue to be my downtown go to place for healthy, fresh, good food!"

Satsuma Café

★★★★☆ 4.1 (396) • $$

"Gosh this was a hard review to write or even number. The employees are nice and friendly and I love the ambience. It's got a great outdoors area with tables and is just such a fun place. However, the two things I tried did not make me a fan. And that's the problem. I started out with the mushroom sandwich and I'd have loved it (I think) except for the peppers. As in hot peppers, and the menu doesn't say that there are peppers. Excited for my mouth catching for I really like the sandwich. So when I returned it I had to come up with something I wanted to eat. That just was such a compromise that I didn't like it. And we had to adjust it because of my being pescatarian. So it was doomed to failure. They do have some cool breakfast items and I plan to come back and will revisit this review then."

Lakeview Nutrition

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"I learned of Lakeview Nutrition, a family owned business, from a girlfriend who always gets their loaded teas so I decided to check them out. They are conveniently located on Harrison Ave with parking right out front. Even though the teas are what drew me to this business, I have yet to try them because I am hooked on their shakes!! I have such a sweet tooth and these shakes are the perfect thing for me because I can get my sugar fix without feeling guilty about it! So far, I've tried the wedding cake, cinnamon toast crunch, cookies and cream, snickers, and funfetti! They are all delicious and well worth the $8.50. I sip on mine all morning which really curbs my appetite. They also have protein bites and bars. The staff here is so friendly - they always say "We hope you feel the love!" when handing me my shake and I look forward to this short but sweet interaction every morning. They also have a loyalty punch card that I am making excellent progress on :) Check out Lakeview Nutrition for all your meal replacement needs -- or if you're like me, a healthier sweet tooth option!"

Scooter's Coffee

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"I'm impressed! St. Charles Parish needed another great coffee place; Scooter's is quick with great quality! I liked how this place is just drive thru, and it's decorated so cute for Christmas. I ordered the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte and the Bacon Ciabatta sandwich. You can tell the latte has quality espresso and the flavoring was on point. I enjoyed the sandwich too! The service was so friendly!! Very refreshing to have excellent quality and service. I will definitely be coming back :)"

Two Chicks Café - CBD

★★★★★ 4.7 (718) • $$

"Amazing breakfast/ brunch spot. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating. The food was made so quickly! We ordered fresh orange juice, coffee and a make your own omelette with jam, bacon and cheese and it was unreal. Big portions, which is always a great sign. I recommend getting the side of roasted potatoes, so good!!! In our four day visit to NOLA we ate here twice because it was that great!"

Yum Tra Harvey

★★★★☆ 3.9 (8)

"I've been three times and so far everything has been really yummy and good quality. I recommend the lattes & ube coin waffles."

Simply Limón Pressed Juice Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Great little juice bar with açaí bowls and killa smoothies. Great alternative for lunch or coffee. Will be back for sure."

Pho Grace Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (89) • $$

"Ordered beef pho and Vietnamese tacos, very tasty. Staff really nice. Also stopped by during king cake season, staff also really nice. I will definitely be back"

The Daily Beet

★★★★★ 4.6 (119) • $$

"I was taking a long walk along Magazine Street to sight-see and be healthy; passing by The Daily Beet and I was like I want to get something here (the place has a very appealing style). I took a look at the menu and was impressed with the bowls and salads. I already had plans for an early dinner so I didn't want to order any food but was interested in coming back so I asked the girl behind the counter a question about a dish. Sadly, she made it obvious she just wanted to take an order and not be bothered by my question. She did answer though and I asked another but after that I decided not to bother since it was clear she did not want to deal with me. My wife wasn't that thirsty; she just wanted a sip of something so I did the only logical thing.... I ordered (2) smoothies for myself and the wife can steal a couple sips. SMOOTHIES No.1: BLUE DREAM (Blueberry, Pineapple, Mango, Banana, Raw Agave)This was delicious... absolutely delicious SMOOTHIE No.2: SKINNY GREEN(Kale, Spinach, Pineapple, Mango, Banana)Even though I loved the Blue Dream, I really enjoyed the Skinny Green quite a bit. Something about that grittiness from the Kale that I like (it's a texture thing). I'm going to assume the poor customer service is limited to this one staff member (maybe she was having a bad day) and not the typical attitude of all staff; with that in mind, we will be back (especially with all the healthy option the menu offers; even have some vegan options)."

Sprouts Organic Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15)

"Thank you Lloyd for chatting with us today. I got organic carrot, ginger and apple juice, it was delicious, and my husband got coffee. We were just out and about, and there is outdoor seating here along with menu of organic and healthy foods.If your vegan or like raw food, this is your spot. While we didn't order food, just drinks, our conversation led to being healthy, and how this place is locally sourced, and all about your health. Located in the Historic Treme Neighborhood, its a great location for Church folk, or anyone going on a historic walk, to stop and get coffee, tea and beyond.They also have sandwiches, plant based breakfast burger "the mcgriddle", and fresh fruit salads, and avocado sandwich. steamed veggins and a rasta burger / a quinoa burger with mama amina sauce and creole banana fries.They opened in january, then covid hit, and they were forced to shutter their doors and are NOW BACK OPEN. support local business and especially when the local business is buying fresh local foods.thanks Lloyd."

Wego Nutrition

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"On the westbank of New Orleans, we always call a little flat, and last in line when it comes to healthy + additives at arms reach. They have several drink and tea options that will se your day ablaze.The flavoring is off a bit due to the added goodness (caffeine, vitamins, biotin, and collagen) and more. Just keep driving past that after taste and you'll feel real good. Almost like energy + light weight + calming. All good in my book and great for mommy's on the go. Or anyone looking for that pre or post workout pick me up.It feels clean, bright, and energetically peaceful when you walk in, and the deco is nice on the eyes, great for nice little photo opThey are not that visible from the street but they're definitely in the board walk on the corner and worth the stop."

Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats

★★★★★ 4.6 (56)

"We regularly stay at the Kimpton Fontenot, the hotel this little joint is part of, but have always opted for the other two restaurants (King Brasserie and Peacock Room). We should've come by here earlier - it was well worth it!The coffees are freshly made and of good quality. I got the Peppermint Mocha and it was excellent. We took our coffees with us on a walk because there wasn't much seating (and it is a bit loud if there is a full house). But this is definitely a great place to swing by or stay a while if you can snag a seat.Only downside is that it does take a bit of a wait until you get your coffee (or at least it did for me). The baristas seemed to be working hard and consistently, so it doesn't seem to be an issue of effort at least."

Planet Mocha Coffee

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This cute little coffee shop hasn't been open very long that I am aware of. I just realized it was in the area recently so I decided to give them a try.It wasn't overly busy when I came, but it was mid morning on a Friday so I figure I missed the rush. I was greeted by who I assume is the owner. He was very cordial and friendly. I needed a minute to review the menu, and he waited patiently. I finally selected a Mocha Frappe and Banana Nut Muffin. They were ready quickly and the price wasn't bad. The coffee and muffin both tasted delicious. He even did a cute little presentation with the muffin. If you are looking for a nice, classy quiet coffee shop in the Central area, stop by and give them a try! Support small business!"

Root2Rise

★★★★★ 4.9 (16) • $$

"This yoga/juice cafe is such a great little spot and has been a wonderful addition to Houma's quaint scene. The calm, clean ambiance and friendly staff provide a perfect place to escape from a busy work day. I haven't attended any of the yoga classes yet, but I love to visit for lunch. The juices are made of freshly squeezed fruits and veggies. Every flavor is a gem. The sandwiches, wraps, and salads are fresh, crisp, and overall lovely. R2R even offers produce boxes that are curated using items from the Hollygrove Market in New Orleans. And the yoga space is available for rent with (I believe) some catering options!I really have nothing but good vibes for Root2Rise!"

Two Chicks Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$

"Delicious breakfast/brunch/lunch spot right across the street from the New Orleans Convention Center and cruise departure port. What that also means is there will be a long line and long wait. I know so because I walked past every day for a week. Two Chicks Cafe is pretty small and houses only a handful of tables and a bar counter to sit at. This is the kind of place you go to when you want to be sure your taste buds will be pleased with scrumptious food, but you don't expect anything in terms of available service and timely food arrival.Crab cake benedict - they load up on real crab and the Cajun hollandaise was very creamy with a nice, spicy kick. All on a buttery croissant. Very rich, very savory, will make you want to go take a nap afterward. Got a side of cheese grits which were smooth and creamy, but needed some more salt.Under the sea omelet - makes you wonder if this is a breakfast dish or a dinner for two. Comes with a side of toast of your choice. The omelet was packed with seafood and veggies. Went with a side of flavorsome roasted potatoes that were seasoned very well.Strawberry banana smoothie - good and typical, nothing special about it, heavy on the iceSolid place to have a meal at if you are fine with the likely possibility of standing in line and waiting a while for food. Don't arrive when you're starving."

Tandem Coffee & Cocktails

★★★★★ 4.8 (31)

"Awesome small-business coffee shop in the heart of historic Mandeville. They have the in store menu so if you're looking for some fresh, hot brunch food don't be discouraged by the menu! They also make their own coffee and drink syrups from natural ingredients. I got the egg and sausage scramble on a croissant along with a wedding cake hot-latte. Staff are friendly, food and coffee are delicious, and the place as a whole has awesome ambiance. Be on the lookout for parking. Street parking is available but be careful! Narrow roads! I also believe there's a back parking lot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Place was very clean and well kept up with. The staff were very proactive with this during my visit. Highly recommend!!!"

Good Bird

★★★★☆ 4 (155) • $$

"I had such a nice lunch today at Good Bird. I ordered the Sue Bird salad, and added chicken. The salad was delicious, and I could tell the ingredients used were of excellent quality. The sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked - tender and sweet, the goat cheese was rich and tangy, and the chicken was fork tender. The space is bright, cheery, and you can speak in normal tones. Really sweet spot."

The Cheesesteak Company

★★★★☆ 3.7 (13)

"With this place being so small, you would think they don't have a lot of business, but looks could be deceiving. This place has great customer service. Everything I asked for I received without any hassle. I am a cheesesteak guru. I truly have put all other places to rest. They will be seeing my partner again for sure! From the toasting of the bread to the tenderness in the Philly steak. I am in awe. 10 out of 10!"

La Tropicana Gourmet Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.5 (16)

"Omg! This place is SO good! The fact that it's in such close proximity to my house is dangerous for my waistband, especially because it's also open late most nights. Their menu is huge, so you're more than likely to find something to satisfy your savory or sweet cravings. I love their paletas, or popsicles. My favorite is the Ferrero chocolate (which tastes like hazelnut) and I also love their pistachio. Obsessed!!"

Desi Vega’s

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (4)

"The fries are excellent. The rest is described below...Kind servers, although very slow service from the drinks, to the dinner, to the dessert (ice cream shakes)."A step above McDonalds" (38 year old), and "fine" (7 year old) best describe what is going on here. The burgers lack salt, which makes their 10+ options of toppings surprisingly similar. We tried the sliders, the soprano, the desk and the jazz. Every one looked different, and tasted similarly.The televisions make this more of a sports bar than a restaurant. A very unmemorable experience overall. Unfortunately the cost is memorable."

Runneth Over

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"A mobile coffee truck owned by a woman? GENIUS! This faith-based coffee business is more than just lattes, it's exactly what Houma/Thibodaux needed: local drips with local smiles. Runneth Over has been quite the talk of the town since opening last year, sponsoring grand openings, events and even birthday parties. Now with 2 mobile trucks to provide for both Houma and Thibodaux locations daily, I can't rave enough about this business! Now what you've all been waiting for: how's the coffee? Perfection! It's the pick me up or sweet treat you didn't know you needed. And if coffee isn't your thing, the "Redbull Remix" drinks are your next go-to. Anything from fruit pebbles latte to lavender chai, Runneth Over can make it how you like. Their weekly schedules are posted on their websites and are always in convenient locations. Did I mention the prices aren't bad either? Go get your coffee fix from a friendly, faith based, local coffee truck and support your town!"

Smoothie Time

★★★★☆ 4.1 (22) • $

"I'm glad I stumbled on to Smoothie Time. I was leaving Planet Fitness, and this location just so happens to be 2 doors down. It's a small location, but great. What I loved the most was the customer service, the lady was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She actually made me a delicious smoothie (can't remember the name) that wasn't was on the menu with strawberry, kale, and others. I added immunity to it. It was a delicious smoothie. Filled me up and gave me everything I needed.The price is good. Parking is available in the lot. Directly next to the Urgent Care and Planet Fitness."

Slidell Nutrition

★★★★☆ 4.4 (17)

"Absolutely love this place. They sell meal replacement shakes and wellness teas. It's a ritual to go every Sunday for the huge variety of flavored teas. I love them because they are all sugar free. Great for diabetics. The service and owner are always great."

Glow Nutrition

★★★★☆ 4 (10)

"Love this place. Small business and friendly owners. Ton of Smoothie and tea options. These people appreciate your business unlike chains. It's time to support small businesses! Clean place. They have curbside pick up right now. Call or text your order and they bring it to you."

BAMBU

★★★★☆ 3.9 (37)

"A cute place! As someone who has never tried Che before I was excited to try it. I got the Taro Lover Che. It was really good and was refreshing on a hot day. The staff were friendly and polite. A little on the pricey side, but it is a speciality dessert.My one complaint is the location itself, I literally missed it the first time driving down Vets looking for it, it's sort of hidden even with the big sign."

Spare Donuts

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"Great new business. Great donuts. Recommend. Good service. Give them a try. They have a drive through as well. Old little Ceaser's pizza location."

The Daily Grind Coffee Co.

★★★★☆ 3.9 (34)

"Went here to grab some quick coffee and breakfast by our hotel and it was great! Lots of food options and the coffee was fast and delicious. Lots of comfortable seating as well."
