What a gem! I've walked by this place literally for years, and this time thought I'd pop in. Got a quickly made mango, banana, pineapple smoothie, which was so yummy. They also have house made chillies and soups, which I'm definitely going to try next time. The owners, Nick and Cindy are so nice! They told me that they often stay open past 4 during the summer months, given the uptick in traffic. So if you're rushing over for the 4 o'clock close (like I was!), you'll probably make it. read more

Found this lsmoothie place in Seattle downtown and so glad I gave it a try! It's a really nice family-owned business. The owner is super friendly and actually spends time with you to figure out what kind of smoothie you like. I picked the matcha smoothie and it definitely tastes really good--very authentic and not too sweet! I also noticed they have homemade soup on the menu, which looks like a really good choice for a quick lunch. I was too full today, but I will definitely come back to try the soup next time. Great service and great taste. Definitely recommend supporting this spot! read more

Had been here before our office moved closer for smoothies with a group of us from work. Grabbed a smoothie the first week we moved and the owner gave me a sample of one of the soups it was a white bean sausage that day. I love the smoothies and that there is some place close to work to grab one. The soup is a good deal $8 before tax and comes with a herbed breadstick. So today's selections we're split pea, chicken pot pie soup and the standing chili. I went with the with the chicken pot pie which I believe said gluten free. From the white sample I had on my last visit I knew it would be a tasty soup this time around. Always greeted with a smile here and service is friendly and fast. read more

PERFECT location of the shop and the service is warm and welcome. The owner of the store suggested.me to have.a drink named Kale mango. Wonderful drink and taste really good. Highly recommended read more

Best place in Pioneer Square for juices and smoothies is this small cafe. Cocoa Banana certainly makes use of these couple ingredients. It also has bubble tea. For sure it's a way to cool off. There's only a few seats inside, so most people get takeout it seems. A small cafe with big flavor. It's about $7 for a smoothie. That's actually not bad for these. More in the cup than it actually appears. These are thick. Certainly a good idea to get one with the key ingredients. I got the one known as the Tony. Bananas and chocolate are in it of course. There's also cold brew and peanut butter along with your choice of a beverage base, and I got coconut milk. A good combination. This is something a monkey would have after going to a gym. Cool place literally and figuratively. It's located on Cherry Street. There's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Nothing special going on inside beside them making these absolutely delicious drinks. Might be the best smoothie I've had in a very long time. The price was also just right. Very small shop with large colorful menu displays. Not much room for hanging out so I took my drinks to go. The service is pretty typical of a smoothie or bubble tea shop. At this location you order from a human which is always nice. Just wait till you check out their menu. When I started to read it, I was in awe by the very appetizing flavor combinations they offer. I want to go back soon and try another. Mine and my dates drinks where so darn tasty I'm starting to reminisce. I forsee another trip to pioneer square coming very soon. So glad I decided to stop in for a drink. read more

Wonderful smoothie and boba cafe! I got a smoothie with carrot, spinach, and a couple of other healthy veggies and mix-ins, then added beets too. The smoothie was filling and nutritious, and tasted super fresh. The service was really nice too. They also have seating. This is a great place to grab a healthy drink if you're in Pioneer Sq. read more

I wanted to get a boba but 80% of their menu is smoothies/shakes, so I got a chocolate coconut banana one. It was good, but I never order smoothies so it's hard to compare it. read more

I live and work nearby. In the summer, I am here often for the smoothies. Super affordable compared to all the surrounding smoothie spots in the area.

Stopped in to grab some smoothies. I was greeted pleasantly by the shop owner. He made the smoothies to order and with real and fresh ingredients. There were so many delicious sounding options but I went with the mango peach smoothie - it did not disappoint! Smoothies were reasonably priced at $7 for a regular size. There is some seating inside. In addition to smoothies they offer bubble teas and a limited food menu. Highly recommend! read more

We went here a couple of times because friends recommended this family business. I was told that another competitor highly recommended their drinks. The Taro milk tea and strawberry smoothie were delicious. read more

The Pea soup was amazing! The smoothies are fresh and delicious! Nice little place to stop in and grab a snack

Amazing smoothies, quick service, and a variety of delicious & healthy offerings! I highly recommend the Banana Almond joy with coffee if you're in the mood for a coconut-infused nutty chocolate-y drink. I've also tried the carrot spinach smoothie and loved it as well -that one is definitely on the lighter side but is absolutely nourishing. I think these smoothies are well priced at $7 given the size and all of what they have in there! Be sure to check them out next time you're in pioneer square. read more

We wanted to grab a quick smoothie before our tour (tour starts in 8 minutes) and found this smoothie shop across the street. The lady who manned the shop was quick to greet us and made our smoothie order in a flash. I had a Kale Mango and my son had Mango Peach and both were delicious! The shop used real fruits and nothing artificial. When checking out, she gave us a discount from seeing me holding our tour tickets without me even mentioning it. Great customer service, great smoothies! Would come back when I'm in Seattle again. read more

smoothies were fantastic and came out quick, the owner allowed me and my 7 year old sister to try numerous different flavors and types to determine what we liked! overall fantastic service and a down to earth owner! read more

Your basic smoothie place. We ordered a bunch of drinks for our sober coworkers during an office happy hour, and really went over super well. The Oreo pie and Nutella were favorites, but I wouldn't recommend the almond joy, the blended up coconut still prompts plenty of coughing, which is a little taboo atm. read more

Yummy place to grab a smoothie before the Underground Tour. Sad they do not provide a restroom even though the use food.

Got the almond joy and omg, so yummy. Soups were tempting as they smelled AMAZING. Owner was so lovely! Going back for more!

Best breakfast smoothie in PSQ! Try anything with coconut - and they can float espresso on top too!

Have lived in Seattle for many years, but happened to stumble across this place today. Lovely little establishment with delicious smoothies. I had one with almond butter and chocolate - nice and smooth. The woman that worked there was very friendly and hospitable. Will be coming back! read more

I've been to a few smoothie places around here and so far I think this place makes the best smoothie with chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, and banana. It tastes so good, I just wish there were bigger sizes instead of one! It's not the healthiest because the chocolate syrup is Hershey's, but it is so addicting! The workers at this place are all very friendly as well and it seems like some kind of mom and pop shop. I've never had any of their salad, but I've had their soup. I really liked their split pea soup. I'd never had it before then, but it tasted very natural and had a lot of the ingredients listed on the board. read more

Mmmm, Vicky... so smooth, delicious, healthy, and even came in a renewable package. I drank most of it, but used a spoon for the bottom. Good smoothie in Greenware. Also, went through the salad bar for a 1 lb or 2. This is an awesome place, good-for-you-delicious food, simple, nice, clean, modern space, and g r e e n. read more

Friendly service and delicious smoothies. It's been a go-to spot for a smoothie (and formally salads) for at least 15 years.

One of the best salad bars in the area. The owners are super friendly and everything is fresh. Prices I feel are a bit high.

This is a nice little lunch spot where you can make your own salads and you pay by weight. There are a lot of fresh options (hot and cold) to choose from and they also have soups and smoothies too. Like others have noted, you can get a discount if you bring your own container to use. read more

Cocoa Banana is a great little spot I wish I would've discovered sooner! I think working in Pioneer Square is so difficult because most of the restaurants are so expensive, but this place is super reasonable. I went around 12:45 and there was a handful of other people, but I didn't have to wait to order. The salad bar was a running a little low, but it had what I wanted. I made myself a small salad and got the Tony smoothie (banana, chocolate, espresso, peanut butter, and non fat frozen yogurt). It was so tasty! They were quick to ring me and to make my smoothie, which is so nice because I'm always looking for quick stops for lunch. They've got a lot of other smoothies and juices and I can't wait to come back to try them! Looks like you can also bring in your own container for salad and get a discount. Initially I thought tupperware, but they had pictures of people in there who brought great big bowls- how fun! Their cups and utensils are compostable. read more

Cocoa Banana - Some of the drinks they offer. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

In a town filled with a million and a half lunch options, it's nice to see that Cocoa Banana offers some healthy ones. At first glance, it's nothing much...small place with just a couple bar seats, but what they offer makes up for it. Fresh juices and smoothies and a nice salad bar. Tons of topping options, dressings, a couple pasta salads, proteins, the works! It's easy to get carried away making a delicious meal. Beware they are a touch pricey and the average salad will likely cost you around $10. Or if you're like me, you put too many darn cucumbers and chicken on your plate making it uber heavy and therefore expensive. Oops. The place overall is clean and the staff is friendly. I definitely recommend it for a quick stop. read more

i don't usually do reviews but this place is amazing the service was top and their smoothies is real ingredients and their turkey Sausage soup is a treat. read more

I am so stoked about this place! If you're in downtown or pioneer square area and want a quick and healthy lunch try this place! A coworker took me here last Friday. She mentioned that we will get salads and that the place is called Cocoa Banana. I was already excited hearing that silly name and loved their vintage logo when I saw it later. I was even more excited when I saw that the place is a salad bar and you can grab what you want and pay by weight. It reminded me of mini Souplantation from California.I saw 5 or 6 kinds of beans, veggies, yummy pickled asparagus, grilled chicken, tuna, tofu, eggs, nuts,12 different types of dressings... I liked that they had all of your usual salad ingredients as well as some different items. For example seaweed salad and pickled ginger! Everything fresh and excellent quality. My box ended up being a little over $10. Not too bad, considering that I had some left over and I was picking a little bit of everything. My coworker's box looked really full, but maybe she picked light items as hers was only over $6. It's a steal in Seattle area! We were in a hurry, and although it was a lunch hour rush we were able to get in and out in about 5 minutes. I noticed that they also have smoothies on my way out I sincerely can't wait to go back here! If they were only open later I would be grabbing dinners here as well. read more

Cocoa Banana - Yummy! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was working downtown when this place open and nearly 20 years ago. They've moved around the corner, but still the best deal for salad bar and smoothies near Pioneer Square. And the salad bar with everything you could want, $7.50/#. Amazing build your own smoothie "matrix", or choose from A list of combinations that have been concocted over the years by customers like you. My favorite is the Tony, a peanut butter chocolate banana frozen yogurt smoothie- with a shot of espresso! You can also get fresh juice combos. Same owners for 20 years who you can find working behind the bar, very nice folks. You can even bring your own salad bowl/ container! read more

Build your own salad bar. Little over-priced in my opinion. Topping options seemed to be slim, but that might have been the result of coming in after the 12'clock rush. Not awful. read more

Yes, the times are really difficult. I can't hang out with my friends, can't go to the movies and everyone is just a bit on edge. So when I do go to my office once every two weeks to water my trusty succulents I make a point of nourishing my body and spirit with a smoothie from Cocoa Banana. Adding in a bit of espresso and some protein and I am GOOD! Soul vaccine it is. Give it a try, friends. Show the love and get some back. read more

I was at work, in a city I didn't know craving something healthy. I mean really healthy. I wanted to stuff my face with loads of fresh, raw vegetables. Or muscle through a tall glass of green juice packed full of random veggies that probably wouldn't taste very good together. That's when I found Cocoa Banana. I walked 1 mile from work as fast as my feet would go to scarf down some goodness on my 30 minute break, and Cocoa Banana delivered. I skipped the juice because the salad bar was extensive enough to satisfy me. I piled cauliflower, spinach, red peppers, artichoke, mushrooms, carrots, peas, (the list goes on), into a little white paper box and then topped it with a bit of olive oil and vinegar. The ingredients were so fresh it barely needed any dressing. It was a quick experience that left me very very happy as I scurried back to work at a decent time. If you are like me and love salads and veggies, I think you will also love Cocoa Banana. read more

SO GOOD! I bought two different "create-your-own" smoothies: Blueberry-pineapple/apple juice and raspberry-peach/orange juice for $8.49. Not bad considering a 12 oz. at another shop recently cost me $9 and wasn't as good and fresh-tasting. The people running the business, the cashier and smoothie-maker, were both nice. read more
