The Juice Jar

Showed up last year (2023) and again this year (2024 ) about 10-15 minutes before closing time at 3 pm. Both times were told they were closing early. With attitude this year. Either serve till published closing time or modify your published closing time to reflect the actual hours employees want to work,

we got four smoothies. two the same and two different. each tasted kinda rotten? some odd taste none of us could put our fingers on or stomach. we were the last customers of the day so maybe we just got scraps? idk but my husband wouldn't return to let me give it a second try.

Let me first state how cute the Juice Jar is location wise. It's like a little cottage from a book. It's nearly hidden behind, if I'm not mistaken, a house that's a museum. I was greeted and showed the menu. There are several smoothies and açaí bowls to offer. To fit my allergies, I tailored my smoothie by asking for almond milk instead. I will add that while ordering and asking questions on how to tailor my smoothie, I observed bags of frozen fruit from a groceryLet me first state how cute the Juice Jar is location wise.

I will add that while ordering and asking questions on how to tailor my smoothie, I observed bags of frozen fruit from a grocery store. I was hoping that it was fresh fruit to make the stand stand out from a homemade smoothie. Although the smoothie was a cool refresher, it was a bit bland/watered-like. Would've like something sweet to bring out the fruit flavor.

This is such a cute little hidden spot! It is kinda hidden from the road. Quiet atmosphere with several chairs and picnic tables to sit at. We brought our pup with us and it was just fine. There are lots of shaded areas. You just order and pick up at the window so no need to worry about having to go inside if you have a dog with you. We got the Corolla Sunrise which was awesome. My significant other got the breakfast burrito which was great! The egg was cooked perfectly. I had gotten the Cali Caprese which was great. It had a lot of spinach in it. Overall, I would definitely return!

For breakfast we wanted to have the Juice Jar again which is a really awesome spot in Corolla. We went yesterday and it was so good we had to come back today. We ordered a breakfast burrito which had cheese, egg and salsa. It is, no joke, amazing. The acai bowl tasted so good. It was perfectly sweet with the blueberries, strawberries, banana and bee pollen (added). The pine island juice was so sweet and refreshing. The zen was refreshing and healthy. I love that they use a lot of organic and quality products and the smoothies are all fruit and no ice. What! Yes, it's true. My favorite was the muddy monkey smoothie: predominantly spinach, banana, peanut butter. There's no melt down of the smoothies because it's all fruit! I don't think I've had a better smoothie anywhere else. Everything there is so consistently made. Jeff the owner and all his workers are just awesome too! They are SO friendly and nice. They are really careful and concerned when you have allergies as well. They made my food and beverages and reassured me that everything was made with attention to my allergies when I got my order. If you have allergies you know what I mean! You won't find a cooler place or better quality smoothies, bowls and burritos. I can't wait till I get to come back here again!

We went two separate times because it was so good! Both the smoothies and açaí bowls were some of the best we have ever had! Definitely recommend this spot in Historic Corolla Village.

Once you get over your first few days of beach vacation binging of donuts, pizza, and ice cream, head straight here to get some real food. Green/fruit smoothies, pressed juices, and wraps like the Caprese are all healthy, fresh, and tasty. Açaí bowl was a stand out. Staff are super chill and friendly. The Juice Jar has become a favorite go-to for our California family.

You had me at "acai bowl". This walk-up gem in old downtown Corolla is a must-try for a snack or quick lunch. My friend had the curry hummus wrap which looks very tasty as well. Both were prepared in minutes. The Nor'easter bowl has huge blueberries, bananas, and peanut butter and cacao nibs which balanced perfectly with the other flavors. It's big enough for lunch. The Juice Bar is centrally located to the Currituck Light House, and it's nestled among a book store, photography studio, spa/hair stylist, and a coffee shop with home goods and jewelry. Thank you, Juice Bar!

They use veggies from their garden out back for their juices and wraps - talk about farm to table. This is the real deal. Had the Zen juice - delish!! - refreshing. And, had my first (and best) Acai bowl - the Whalehead. I can highly recommend both. My husband had the hummus wrap and enjoyed it. The outdoor seating is wonderful. They do offer biodegradable straws, however, I was glad I brought my own reusable cold-beverage cup to avoid a plastic one. Next time I'll remember my reusable utensils. You might want to consider the same. The owner is definitely aware of plastic in our environment, and of course composts scraps for their garden. Worth the maze-like twists and turns to find this adorable spot. Just keep following your GPS. And, bonus(!) its a half mile from the Currituck Lighthouse. If you get a little peckish after climbing the 220 steps to the top plan to stop at the Juice Jar.

What a cute hidden gem! The walk up cottage is just what you need to start your day. We got the whale head and muddy monkey and both were delicious. Love this little spot.
