found this place on Google. I was craving beach juice. They have high rating so I came in to give it a shot. They have a great selection of food, juices, and smoothies and more. Service was very friendly and quick. The vibe inside was very clean and happy and bright. The lady working gave me two cookies to try out! They are human and dog friendly. Love this spot! i'll come back in the near future to get a day detox cleanse! read more

First time trying Juice Alchemy. Came from Pilates and wanted to use some of my class pass points to order food. Juice Alchemy was the only place within 5 min that had a protein smoothie. I ordered a Banana Boat (+Plant Based Chocolate Protein) smoothie. It's 16 oz. It tastes really good! The only thing I would do (and this is just cause I live strawberries) would be to add strawberries and give it a sweet taste. I'll ask if I can do an add in the next time I swing by. I came around 8:40-8:50 am and my smoothie was ready within 5ish minutes of me ordering it. They have a few chairs and tables outside and some seating inside so you can plan to stay and enjoy your order if you'd like. It's not that far from my Pilates studio so I can definitely see myself returning here on my way home from working out in the morning. read more

I got the chicken chipotle salad sandwich and a sunrise juice. Overall, both were delicious. Service was great and got my sandwich fairly quick. This was my first time here and I really did enjoy it. However, $10 for a small a juice seemed excessive. I will probably come back and skip out on drinks. read more

Needed a retinol boost for my skin so I thought to order a juice from Juice Alchemy. You can place an online order, but I decided to order inside since I was nearby. I was on a time crunch though and was told the wait for a carrot juice would be 15 minutes, so please allow time for any custom-made juices. I wasn't really offered any alternatives, but I knew they sold juices on the side in their grab and go fridge, so I opted for that instead. The juice tasted great and was quite sweet, but refreshing. My juice was the Energy Booster and was a blend of apple, mint, carrot, and pineapple juice. They offer juice cleanse packages as well as acai bowls and sandwiches and is one of the healthier options for food in the Bankers Hill location. read more

Omg -- our favorite local smoothie spot! We always get the banana boat smoothie and my goooodness is it delicious. Perfect balance of banana and peanut butter and sweetness, with almond milk and dates. Highly recommend -- it's perfect after a hike or on a hot day. The workers are always so sweet, and we're lucky we live a walk away from here!!! read more

Got tasty, CREAMY, berry smoothie and a warm service from kind and hard working employees.

I loved our fresh squeezed juice from her!e I came here with an old friend and picked up some delicious juices before taking them for a walk around Balboa park. They offer some delicious cookies to go with the drink as well. read more

Tucked away between a nail salon and massage parlor is Juice Alchemy. Right when you enter you feel healthier. Service was super helpful and they let me know the açaí bowl was dairy free. Relaxing music was playing and other patrons were hanging out sipping on their juices or waiting for their orders. Went for the 16 oz Açaí bowl, but they offer a 24 oz which looked massive. Comes with honey almond granola, strawberries, blueberries, banana, and your choice of honey or guava. I picked honey and they didn't skimp out. The bowl was perfection and they provided enough granola where you could mix it with the açaí which was fun. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area! read more

Great spot with abundant choices of juices, smoothies, and breakfast/lunch items. Sampled the Vanilla Kale smoothie and it was a dream :) Detox juice was very refreshing and the turkey bacon avocado sandwich pairs well with the chipotle sauce.

I really tried with this place, but I can't pretend anymore. According to Merriam-Webster, a smoothie is "a creamy beverage made of fruit blended with juice, milk, or yogurt." Key word: creamy. What you get here is watery, thin, and closer to fruit-flavored milk with melted ice than an actual smoothie. Every time I've ordered, it's been disappointing. And the customer service? Somehow worse than the drinks. Instead of working out how to actually make a proper smoothie, staff give you the upward-eye look and ask, "You want more ice?" No, I don't want more ice, I want a smoothie that meets the definition of a smoothie. At this point, I'm just happy I'm saving my money and not wasting it here anymore. There are plenty of places that can blend fruit and treat customers with basic respect. read more

I visit this place a few times a week for smoothies and they have never disappointed. It's always very clean inside and staff is friendly. Their smoothie recipes are so good. Personal favorites include the Coffee Date with vanilla protein, Very Berry with vanilla protein, and the protein oat balls! read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Horrible and atrocious service, it was like I was talking to a wall. Never told me how long the food would take. The açaí bowl was mediocre at best, didn't taste like anything at all. And the bottom was frozen so I'm assuming they pre make them and just pull them out. The sandwich had a hair in it and it was embedded into the turkey. The bacon also looked super limp. I called and left a voicemail - no response. Called the next day and was told management would call but it has now been 3 days with no communication. Save your money and time. This place is trash. read more

When I drank the Vanilla Kale all I could think was this is definitely something I can make at home for a lot cheaper. I asked the worker, who was very kind, for recommendations and she said this was one of their most popular ones. I mean it's not horrible but it's also not great either. It tasted mostly like almond butter and basially no vanilla which was what I was looking forward to. read more

While visiting the beautiful state of California, by way, the breathtaking city of San Diego, I have enjoyed every meal thus far. Unfortunately, some of the food was a bit heavy, and did not agree with my digestive system. I came to yelp, as always looking for a nearby Juice bar. You would think, being in San Diego, you will find one on every block, this wasn't the case. The first location that I went to, was closed, and the number was out of service. This location was the closest to the location where I came up short. Upon arrival, The gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a warm smile. He was very hospitable, very caring, and was very accommodating to my digestive needs. I took him up on his suggestions to do the flu shot along with the detox smoothie. He explained that this location use the cold press, and that I could use my juice up to five days later. This was very impressive. Although the flu shot was spicy, it was nice in taste. He even gave me a little extra and I was able to share it with my daughter, who was about to travel back east. My juice was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect blend of fruits and vegetables, unlike other places where you could taste the celery in the detox. I was able to drink it, literally the whole bottle in less than 30 seconds. I wish I would've came back the following day to get another one. I decided to venture out and try another location in which I will also leave a review for that place. If you are in need of a detox mix with great customer service, this place sets the standard. read more

Was craving a smoothie after a long day in Balboa Park. Definitely a cute little spot with a nice seating atmosphere. I got the Coffee Date smoothie in 'kids' size. Banana, cold brew, and dates for a refreshing end of day pick me up. It tasted great. Unfortunately, the girl taking my order almost seemed annoyed that another customer and I walked in. She was unfriendly taking my order. I kind of took the hint and just took the smoothie to go. I'd love to go back and try an açai bowl or a sandwich, maybe on a different day. read more

I don't think it gets any fresher or more delicious! The açai bowl is highly recommended, along with the Banana Boat Smoothies, my two favourites. They recently added wraps - I've only tried the chipotle chicken, but have ordered it now three times in a row. The staff here have become like family, participating Elizabeth who always makes me feel welcome and at home. The perfect neighbourhood cafe that appears to any taste, whether vegan, paleo, keto or just like good food. read more

Saucy - Soupy - So disappointed : I ordered the Açaí bowl ( add whey protein ) I waited inside and had the lady make my order. She handed it to me like this. I said... " hey sorry.,, is the granola and the PB in here ? " She replied back " umm yeahhhh ... soooo Açaí doesn't come " naturally " with protein in it, ( rolled eyes ) so when I add it - it... everything sinks to the bottom.." I'm like - interesting, nowhere else in the world I've ordered one of these has that happened. But okay thank you ! I live around the corner from here and would enjoy the opportunity to let them try again with providing a better order and experience but otherwise.. I would say go ANYWHERE ELSE. read more

This little juicery has been in Bankers Hill a long time. The ambiance smells of fruit, they have açaí bowls, juice, smoothies, avocado toast, sandwiches, lattes and tea. I'd say for two juices and two sandwiches I believe my bill was $45. If you desire something healthy, fresh, and something yummy to bring to Balboa Park which is one block away. This place is also dog friendly! read more

Fresh, fresh, fresh! I appreciate the amount of juice/smoothie options they have- it helps with making a decision :) Super yummy, but like most places in the area parking is could be troublesome Sooo... walk there hehe and get yourself a fresh, yummy juice! It might seem like it takes long but that's only because they literally are juicing the fruits and veggies right there!! read more

I wanted to detoxify from my visit to San Diego before I flew back home so looked up some places and found juice alchemy. I ordered the large power hour and a regular super. They were both delicious!

My wife and I both ordered the 3 day juice cleanse. I am NOT a beet fan (one of the juices was made with beets) but it was soooo good! The 6th juice of the day was my favorite- kind of like a dessert at the end of the day. We loved the juices so much, we ordered the cleanse again (allow them at least 5 hours to make before pick up). We both feel great and it was an excellent kick start to our new healthier lifestyle! On another note: their acai bowls are delicious!!! Wish this place had some type of a rewards program - apparently they used to. We will be going back as this has become our new favorite spot for juices and acai bowls! read more

TO! DIE! FOR! Omg omg omg, I can't get over how good that chipotle chicken sandwich was!!!! I was going to go with the Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich, and thankfully I looked up at the wall where the specials are written. And shout out to the cashier (I didn't catch her name) because I asked which was better and she said both were good, but the CC was her favorite. It was so good, I should've gotten another lol 10/10 recommend!! I ordered a small Mango Ginger smoothie and it was good. Pretty well balanced. Not as sweet as I would've like, but I wanted something healthy this morning so this did the job. I will absolutely be back anytime I'm in the area. Y'all definitely have to try them out for yourselves!! Thanks Juice Alchemy team :) read more

Juice Alchemy - So good. Ignore how it looks TSA messed it up 10/10 recommend! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here on a toasty Saturday.. craving a cold smoothie. I was warmly greeted and immediately found a list of delicious and creative smoothies being offered-- some fruit based, vegetable based, even cold brew based! I chose to indulge in the vanilla kale smoothie because it sounded different.. it comes with almond butter and almond milk.. which give a rich creamy flavor and texture. This smoothie was excellent! The banana cuts most of the kale flavor and paired with the almond milk.. it's an overall hit. My smoothie was $8.. but I believed the ingredients are quality and worth it. I'll take my future juice and smoothie cravings here. Dog friendly! read more

I am also in the mood for a quality smoothie, and Juice Alchemy not makes a number of great ones, but also use terrific ingredients in them. I had the Honey Bee which came with almond milk, honey, honey almond granola, almond, and a little bit of ginger as I requested: a 16 oz cup for $7.75. The smoothie was very well made, and what I loved best about it was that it had little bits of granola and almonds to chew on after each drink of the straw. It tasted great with subtle flavors of honey and almonds. Customer service was most excellent, and their products being well priced, it's an great place. read more

Juice alchemy is good, but not the best. I've had a couple of their drinks and thought they were ok. The coffee one is the best I've had so far but I wish they had bigger straws because the date pieces get stuck. Parking is not ideal but you can usually find something on the street over. read more

I can't speak for everything on the menu but their smoothies are very good and the people that I have met who work here have all seemed very friendly. I really like the coffee date smoothie. If you like coffee this is the one for you. I tried to make something similar at home and it tasted like trash.I guess I'll have to keep coming here when I want one of these smoothies:) I also got the $1 power bite and those are tasty as well. read more
