As Project Juice was buried and taken over by earthbar I can't help but be disgusted by their lack of good flavors and products.

A Great Green Juice With Plant Based Food Love Is All I Need read more

I've probably been to project juice stores like a hundred times. And just moved to Berkeley, was excited to see a project juice in the building right next where I lived. But my experience was really bad. This store in Berkeley is horrible, in that the people working here are sometimes really mean and undeserving of a tip. They treat customers with no hospitality. Rude and unapologetic, absolutely a mood spoiler. Never coming back here again And guys please go get your açai in other cafes in Berkeley. They are plenty of them with nicer people working to help read more

Decided to stop by here after a morning workout at soul cycle (yes, I know this sentence screams "BASIC") Anyway the açaí bowl was delightful! I got the Super Berry for ~$11 which sounds expensive but is actually pretty standard for açaí bowls. I'm not sure of any other place in Berkeley that has acais so ill definitely be coming back. Service was nice and there's minimal seating available if you wanna hang out and chat with friends :-) IG factor: A+ def a photo op with ample lighting and hella millennial vibes. Also Go take a stroll down the street and take yourself a selfie or something next to the cute wall. read more

Earthbar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

Sunshine smoothie was very delicious. Pesto toast was tasty as well. Adding egg option gets you a sliced hard boiled egg on top not a fried egg. Toast wasn't worth $9. read more

Love it!! But I wish the price was more comparable to Jamba Juice! I got the dragon bowl....yum!!! read more

Earthbar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

The acai bowls here are perfect! They are paleo and the classic option is tasty. I would recommend putting a scoop of almond butter on the top as opposed to getting it blended because it makes it taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. My friend got a cacao smoothie and it's her favorite, she gets it every time! read more

Fantastic smoothies and coffee. They were busy but service time was still good. Will be back.

I've been here a few times with my mom but I never get anything because I never know what to order. But today... was the day! I wasn't familiar with some of the ingredients but I got that it was an extremely healthy yogurt bowl. I'm going vegan so I was super excited that it was made with coconut yogurt. They were making some fresh acai when we walked in around 10:30am and the fruit was crisp and tasty! I got the dragon base with protein toppings and it was bomb (really good). Its not as sweet as I would've liked but a little extra honey would've done the trick! Towards the end it was more yogurt than toppings so next time ill ask for extra, has to have to have texture! Overall I love the freshness and the service is quick. Perfect for an easy morning breakfast! read more

I won't be back. I can't review how their product is...I asked basic questions about their ingredients due to food allergies. I asked 2 questions actually. The first one it seemed like the clerk made up the answer. When I asked the next question about what type of planet protein they use the clerk said, "Im kind of busy with a lot of other orders and I have to find the answer, but I can't right now." read more

Smoothies here are delish. Almond tea cake is also super tasty. Nice quiet area of 4th street. Rockstar smoothie is so good. Love this place! read more

Thinking of moving closer to project juice so that I can have them more often. Hah! My order is ALWAYS an Açaí bowl and a shot of Tumeric while I wait. The service is very fast! Their produce very fresh and the staff is nothing short than patient and sweet. The price point is worth the quality. I love their location and I just wish they opened one more Project Juice closet to my home in Montclair! read more

I've been a regular at Earthbar for awhile now. The team is amazing and make my drinks so well. One thing I've noticed is a newer, older woman (maybe new manager?) working there. From my observation, she is a little more intense/passive and the team seems to be on edge around her. I constantly see a new team every month so I'm hoping they're being treated well. read more

decided to give this location another shot after a previously bleak experience and was sadly met with yet another subpar encounter. the wait time for my one smoothie was abysmal. I would understand if there was high traffic and they were backed up, however such was not the case. Despite there being a mere 2 orders ahead of me, it took over 15 minutes for mine to be ready. read more

Love that they're GF and have great coffee and paleo waffles!!! The turmeric hummus toast and the avo toast hit the spot for GFers. I also need to add that their Keto coffee keeps me going back every morning! Who knew vegan keto could be so yummy? I usually do Bulletproof, but I'm hooked on their Keto coffee now. read more

We were trying to buy a cup of juice and ask for the key to bathroom, the two waitresses were really, really rude, and I have to say are they racism cause we are Asian face???? They just ignored us and we asked several times politely but they kept a very very annoying face and ignored us. We were going to buy some juiceeeee, that's the correct way for them to treat customers???!!?!! I am super mad about ittttt!!!!!!! It's 20233333! read more

Got their golden toast, acai superberry bowl and chocolate bliss ball via doordash. First, i love that they stapled the paper bag for extra security, so that nothing spills or gets in/out after they package for delivery. *Golden toast was really good and satisfying. It's avocado, tumeric hummus, microgreens, pickled onions on a thick round-ish piece of bread. Bread is not that big, but it is thick and they did not skimp on the toppings - good thick layer of avo and hummus. My only tiny complaint: bread is not toasted, so it's more like golden bread not golden toast. *Bliss ball was so good. I got the chocolate one and it's super creamy and soft and perfectly sweet, not as sweet as i expected (less sweet than a medjool date by itself). It is pretty small - size of a small donut hole. So for the size, it's pricey at $2.88 on doordash (idk if its cheaper if i went in person?). It is rly good, so i would still get this again when i feel splurge-y. *Acai superberry bowl is good, but i've had better (even the one they used to have at costco food court is actually better imo, but thats just personal preference). It doesn't help that my doordash took a detour, so everything melted on the way over and the granola wasn't crunchy bc it soaked up all the melted acai. So thats my bad for ordering on doordash instead of going in person. I will say though that i really loved how they filled up a third of the bowl with strawberries, banana slices, blueberries, coconut flakes. Also the acai itself is not sweet, but you can taste that they added some honey somewhere in the bowl (maybe the granola?). So it is still mildly sweet and definitely not bad. The bowl is also huge. Still, I probably wouldn't get this again. I'd get the golden toast and bliss ball again for sure tho read more

Their smoothies are incredible and worth it even though they are very expensive. All of the employees I have interacted with are top notch with really strong customer service skills. This is a very well run business and I will continue coming back regularly :) read more

Been getting this for breakfast lately. I wish they would be more consistent with offering their bagel on Doordash as i like that. We get the parfait, oatmeal, and bagel. Waffles are really dry. I order the toasts sometimes but they're not great IMHO. The coffee drinks are not things we will order again. We are not huge smoothie people but I would like to try some and report back on those. I like it for a more healthful alternative to other places in close proximity. read more

I came here the other day after walking around the shops, I ordered my smoothie (wasn't even good) and asked them if I could use your their restroom. The lady there said no they don't have a restroom.... I've been here so many times and every time they give me keys to the restroom..... mind you I'm 9 months pregnant and I'm already having a hard time. It was just annoying that this was the one time they decided to say no... on top of that, not sure if the people making the smoothies were new but I notice they kept adding water to my smoothie because it wouldn't blend. So I paid $12 for a watered down smoothie and rude service! Won't be going back. read more

Hehehe I love coming here after my Soul Cycle classes. It's a "You did a great job at your class! Now here's a pricy treat for you!" Hahahaha I always order the epic greens. I've seen other cyclist order the acia bowls, looks good. Maybe I'll order that next time. Their epic greens is more of like a thick smoothie and you can taste the almond butter. I love almond butter. One star off because I'm broke and wished they had some sort of student discount....lol. Maybe I'm just being mean. read more

I love their acai bowl and avocado toast. They also have great coffee. They have a great location at forth st.

I went in for the first time today and ordered a Sunset beach. The smoothie was amazing and so was the staff. Definitely my new favorite spot. read more

such a simple concept yet cant make smoothies in timely manner, no consistency. There was a point for like a month they had a young women of color working there that was fire at first i thought she was like a regional manager but she was the GM. Could make multiple smoothies in a heart beat, always upbeat energy, talking with customers. She would even give my kiddo stickers and always gave a quick eta of when order would be ready. They play music that no store should be allowed to play offensive language, derogatory statements.... read more

We ordered 8 smoothies for counselor appreciation day for our son's last day at his day camp. After 15 minutes they had made 1 smoothie. We even told the ladies working that they could just double up on smoothies instead of making the variety we had ordered to make it faster but it still took them a long time. 45 minutes in total for 8 smoothies and there were only 2 other customers in between. Our son was late to his last day of camp and when I mentioned that I didn't know it would take so long the lady making the smoothies said, "yep, and you can bear with us." I will never return. read more

The coffee drink was tepid and watery. The soup, while decent flavor, was tepid and anemic-very few corn kernels/veggie dice and broth. That's it. These items do not come close to Project Juice quality for similar items (they leased this space previously). Miss them. Perhaps Earthbar's smoothies are better? Am hesitant to try. read more

This is a very tasty place with great quality food. I have spent about $150 in just 3 trips here for me and one other individual, it is pricey for small portions. My reason for writing this review is that I allowed myself to come 3 times to see if my experience may get better and it hasn't. To be in a high vibrational food setting yet experience low vibrations from the customer service and employees is off to say the least. Each time has been new workers yet every single one of them had very low non smiley, unwelcoming, distant, sad, non enthusiastic energies. Everywhere I've gone in the Bay Area my month here has been very energetic and happy but the highest vibrational food setting I come to is the lowest and most unwelcoming. I don't know what's causing this so I am writing this view so you may take it how you want and I pray that is to see what is causing this and help curate and environment that is more welcoming, especially when we are spending so much money on such high vibrational nourishment. I love you. My 2 cents is eat less butter, fats, and complex carbs, while eating more light fruit. It's what changed my life to be vibrating at higher frequencies ALWAYS, ALL WAYS. Much love peace and blessings. Update: departing I mentioned how much of a difference this food makes to my life and they felt joy and smiled with gratitude and I blessed them a great day. I invite you to remind them how important they are maybe even beginning shift reminders and happy board notes each day. Beautiful quote or something. read more

Earthbar - Blue Moon, Dragon, Açaí - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

Beyond the time it took to get a 10usd smoothie, the smoothie itself only tasted of artificial sweeteners. What is the point of a "healthy" smoothie if they use that kind of stuff? I was told it was spinach, banana and apple. It did not help that not all the menu was on display with a full ingredients list. Will certainly not go back. read more

Its always a great experience here, & delicious I can never decided what to eat, but I'm happy it's all healthy. read more

Earthbar - Mmmm mmmm mmmm can you really decide what to get here. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

I usually make my smoothies & acai bowls at home since they can be quite pricey but from time to time I'll come by here and treat myself. The menu here is really extensive so I can only comment on the smoothies and the acai bowls. You can't really go wrong with either! Their acai bowls are fairly standard and come with a good amount of toppings and you can taste the quality of their ingredients. My favorite smoothie is the Epic Greens! I've tried recreating it at home and it's really not the same so I always love getting it here. I've tried a few of their juices and they're all pretty similar to other juice spots I've hit up, but there was this one seasonal drink (Ugly & Awesome) that had bok choy & strawberry in it that was delish! Perfect blend of sweet and tart. Service is pretty hit or miss here. Most of the time the staff is really friendly and look happy to be there but my most recent experience was pretty so-so. The last time I came (last Monday night), two girls ahead of me ordered the same drink as me so the employee working went ahead and made a big batch. She filled the two orders ahead of me to the top, and mines 80% the way full. Looking back, I should have said something, but the attitude that was coming off of he when it was obvious I wasn't given a full drink when made it seem like it wouldn't be worth trying to bring it up. Also service can be slooooow since there are only 3 people working at a time. Like I said, it's a good place to come by in Berkeley after a workout but not something I'd go out of my way to get to since it's rather pricey. Luckily it's located on 4th street where there's ample parking. read more

I've had a lot of açaí bowls, but Project Juice's are my favorite in the Bay Area! Their bowls are quite filling and I like that they allow for customization. I always pick the açaí superberry base with the protein-style toppings (granola, banana, berries, cashews, cacao, hemp seeds, and honey). I have also had the Epic Greens smoothie, which was also delicious! I like that the ingredients are clean and that you can add superfood boosters as well! read more

Earthbar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

One time I drove from Lake Merritt to this place just to get an acai bowl and their waffle. I could have gone to a place on Lakeshore that's pretty well known but I didn't want my name to be yelled at me by some bro in a backward hat. Project Juice is consistent, delicious, and from my experience not too busy at this location. I just get the good old-fashioned acai bowl with classic toppings but add some almond butter on top. The texture of the acai is one of the reasons I like it so much; a good balance of icy and smoooooth. Another reason I like this place is that they don't over-sweeten their acai bowls. Don't get me wrong; I'm not some super health freak, I don't yoga nor am I vegan. I just want my healthy food to be healthy and not laden with other crap when I'm trying to be better about my food choices. If you're on the fence about the waffles, just do it. Of course, it's not going to be like a "real" waffle but that's the point! So don't be a jackass and expect something you're obviously not going to get. The Berries & Cream waffle is so good and the price is decent. While I do wish it was bigger it's only because I just want to eat more of it. Each time I've gone, the staff has been friendly and efficient but then again, I worked retail for many years and maybe I'm more empathetic to their jobs. read more

Project juice has the best açaí bowls around. I've tried them in many places, but I'd have to say that this is definitely the best choice. They are both healthy, tasty, and very conscious of their ingredients. Whether you are Peleo, Keto, Vegan, Whole 30, or gluten free, they have something for you. The location is fresh, health oriented, and in a nice area on 4th street, near all of the cute shops. I go almost everyday after I get out of spin class and it is a super refreshing and nourishing option post workout! Try it! read more

the staff are really polite and helpful. the muscle up smoothie is also very good After a workou.

I kinda see açaí and pitaya bowls as a food group. I come from SoCal, where we're blessed with THE BEST smoothie bowls!! Ever since coming up here, I've been on a mission to find the best in Berkeley, and so far, Project Juice is winning What I've had: - Almond butter açaí bowl ($11.45): This is made with house-made almond mylk, almond butter, pure unsweetened açaí, blueberry, and banana. I normally go for the protein topping (GF superfood granola, banana, seasonal berries, cashes, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, local honey drizzle). The bowl kinda has a creamy taste, which I'm a huge fan of!! The almond butter really brings it together. I love this bowl so much that I have yet to try the pitaya here because I always order the almond butter açaí (and I usually get pitaya over açaí anywhere!!). ALSO THE HONEY. The honey they drizzle on top of the granola is AMAAAZING! AND AHHH THE GRANOLA. I think this is my new favorite granola. It was so good that I ended up buying a big bag off the shelf. (P.S. you can add other toppings for an additional charge. I usually add goji berries) - Strawberry maca smoothie ($9.75): This is made with house-made almond mylk, strawberry, coconut meat, cashiers, dates, vanilla, maca, and sea salt. You can really taste the cashew and coconut flavors more than anything. Idk if it was because I was super hungry, but this was hands down one of the best smoothies I've ever had. It's like they combined everything I like in a smoothie and put it in this one thing - Immune boost wellness shot ($4.25): This has orange, lemon, ginger, cayenne, echinacea, and reishi. AND OH MANNN DOES IT BURN. IT BURNS SO GOOD. AHHHHHHH. If you feel something coming on, get this. Knock it back. You won't regret it Bottom line: Kinda pricy...but I guess that's what you can expect from any juice bar/smoothie bowl place, especially in this area. I really wanna try their tea lattes (they come with steamed cashew or almond mylk), and the new adaptogen lattes seem kinda funky but like something I'd like to try. They also have avocado toast!! Though I've kinda stayed away from it because it looks more like a bed of greens than it does avocado toast. Overall, quality you can taste! And conveniently located near SoulCycle. Stop by for a post spin treat!! (P.S. no wifi, but they do have power outlets near the grab and go fridge) read more

Always start my day with their protein oats. Only thing better is the smiling faces and great energy of Natalie, Lucia, and Ingres a.k.a. The Dream Team:) Give these girls a raise!!! read more

I am obsessed with this place and I'm not afraid to say it. I think about getting a smoothie or breakfast here whenever there's an option to, and I have some self control to keep myself from coming here every day...my wallet thanks me What I've gotten: 1) Epic greens: by far my favorite smoothie of all! You get a good dose of protein, a taste of that creamy almond butter, and overall, a very satisfying fullness after finishing. 2) Watermelon Berry Smoothie: watermelon is one of my favorite fruits--and this smoothie isn't too sweet and doesn't taste artificial. It's super refreshing and the chia at the bottom added a nice change in texture to the smoothie. 3) Strawberry Maca: pretty good! The strawberry flavor is kind of subtle and I felt like the coconut meat and cashews stood out more to me, which was fine. 4) Peace Love and Kale: This smoothie definitely gives you a good dose of coconut and kale--if you don't like kale, don't get this. The kale flavor is pretty prominent in this smoothie and I didn't mind it at all but I know if you're the type of person trying to sneak greens into a smoothie without having to taste it, go for the epic or marina green smoothie instead. 5) hot protein oats: they give you a HUGE portion! I was SO FULL and I still had a third of it left. They're not shy about stacking the oats and a ton of toppings to the very brim, so you definitely get your money's worth! If you're looking for something filling and hot for breakfast, try this out. There's coconut yogurt, fruit (strawberries, blueberries, banana), and honey. Everyone that has helped me out at Project Juice has been super friendly! No complaints on the service at all. I have no shame in admitting that I think about going (or finding an excuse to) every day. read more

Probably the best açaí bowl I've ever had. I don't come to Berkeley that often, but whenever I do I will go far out of my way to stop at PJ... it's that good. Ingredients are always fresh, and there are a ton of combinations and customizations to choose from. One day I'll try their smoothies and juices, which also look fantastic, but I am too obsessed with their bowls to have ever tried anything else. The location is also great- plenty of parking, and it's near multiple fitness studios and stores. Great spot to grab lunch or a post-workout energy boost, and there is outdoor seating off the main street, which is nice and relaxing on warm days. I'm genuinely perplexed by the people who complain about the service here... the staff have never been anything other than friendly and welcoming to me. Then again, reading through others' critiques, it seems like they expect employees to greet them with a hug, song, and dance to meet their bar for quality customer service, so maybe I just have different expectations. It is true that when it's busy here, service does slow down... that's kinda what happens when a store has a lot of customers at once?? Employees take their time preparing food, and I appreciate that the bowl toppings are always in good ratios and not spilling everywhere, so I'm content to wait a few extra minutes when it's busy for what I know will be a delicious and quality meal. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Project Juice. Project Juice as a whole has wonderful products - I've never had a better açaí bowl. With that said, I want to shout out this location specifically. I come into PJ quite often and am always amazed by the cleanliness of the store, friendliness of the staff and the overall organization. They are usually bombarded with customers and they handle it with absolute grace. They've never gotten my order wrong and are always ready to make a recommendation on what I should get. Even though they are clearly working their tails off behind the desk, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Coming into the store really has become a highlight of my day - I love saying hello to the staff. I've read a few other reviews and am disappointed that others feel they deserve a smile served alongside their smoothie. Great customer service is one thing, but a smile is not required. The staff here is accommodating, kind and hard working. I feel they consistently go above and beyond. The "energy" I get from Project Juice is that employees are working hard and kicking butt at delivering a great product as quickly as they can. They are so successful at what they do that the line is usually out the door. Whatever this PJ is doing, they are doing it right. read more
