I got a Californian sandwich. It was alright but nothing to write home about. The server took like 15 minutes to make it even though I was the only person there. When I got my sandwich it was mostly arugula. There was a thin slice of meat and they didn't put any tomatoes. J I'm don't even think she out bacon in it. It was just disappointing because I could have made a better sandwich at home that wouldn't cost $10. Maybe I came at a bad time because all the reviews and pictures I saw made this place look really good. read more

I'm working in Pleasanton again and I wanted to get a quick, healthy lunch. I had stopped by for an Acai bowl and a Chocolate chip cookie. It was super filling and it had fresh fruit and granola and seeds. It was a nice day and I ate the bowl in a nearby park. This place is always consistent with their service and portions for the Acai bowls. Cookie was good but how could you go wrong with Chocolate chip? Worth stopping by for a caffeine pick me up or a light lunch. read more

Services are always excellent, and the smoothies and fruit bowls are delicious. I also like placing my order through Yelp because it just so easy. read more

Terrible service. Such a shame because this is a great snack option for downtown Pleasanton. There's no supervision of employees, most of whom are just kids. You can tell the owner is disconnected and uninterested in the success of this business. read more

I come here for the sandwiches, specifically the California sandwich on ciabatta bread. Takes a bit longer to make than other things on the menu, but the cheddar, mayo, avocado, bacon, and ciabatta work together to make something much more than the sum of its parts. Oh, smoothies and bowls are good too, I hear. Nice to come during the Saturday farmers markets to get something and walk around admiring the booths, but it's a bit impacted then too as one would expect. read more

Service - Nice, friendly, bubbly. Green Machine (celery, carrot, apple, kale, lemon ginger) - The ginger kick was a nice touch. Added probiotic supplement for 50 cents. Juice was enjoyable, refreshing, and healthy. Next time try: Blues R Good, Gro Tall, Beet Me Up, acai bowl, smoothie bowl, mango tango. Dairy-free substitutes like oatmilk available! read more

Great smoothies and the sandwiches are good too. My son loves the smoothies here. We often stop by during our Saturday trips to the farmers market. His fave flavors are Lovebirds, Strawberry Fields and Dragonfly. The ingredients are fresh and the staff are always friendly and efficient. The smoothie prices are a bit high, but the quality is consistently good. read more

Had lunch here today and was glad we stopped in. Enjoyed my Gabby's Creation bowl with added granola, bananas and strawberries and hubby had a Peach Beach smoothie. Both were excellent and really hit the spot! They also serve sandwiches and juices. Two thumbs up! read more

I was searching for a good juice/smoothie spot in the local area and came across Juice & Java Express on Yelp. Apple Maps gave a weird route to get to this spot but eventually I made my way to this spot and I'm so glad I did. After looking over the menu (there are a good number of options), I decided to order the Dragon Fly smoothie and added some spinach to get some greens in. The drink was delicious, the perfect combination of fruits and veggies, and so fresh and filling! I have to admit that the juices and smoothies can feel pricey when comparing to some other spots, but I'm always a fan of supporting small local businesses so it's worth the price point. You can enjoy your order in their small but cute cafe seats or stroll through downtown Pleasanton. I will definitely be back to try the others drinks and maybe even some food too. It's also conveniently located on the same street as the Pleasanton Farmer's Market. read more

Good food and smoothies but very overpriced. Service is always quick! Beet me up is my fav juice.

I ordered from here at least once a week through Doordarshan and its always good. Today, my order was incorrect. It wasn't a big deal... we are all human and we make mistakes. But what we received was not something that we eat. So doordash arranged a re-delivery. Not only was the2nd delivery was perfect, they included a free smoothie and cookie! It was a pleasant surprise! The bowls are awesome. I like that there is granola at the bottom and top. The texture is smooth and the flavor is consistent... I definitely recommend this place. read more

Great service, tasty smoothies the feel of the shop definitely makes me want to come everyday to try everything on the menu!! Will come again! read more

While the juices, smoothies and other beverages are good, the sandwiches are less than adequate. I ordered a turkey, apple and brie sandwich, which is "hot"...the small amount of brie is heated on toasted bread with 1 slice of turkey (just over one oz) and very thin apple slices. A generous amount of mixed greens is added to give the sandwich volume. Go for the beverages, not the sandwiches. read more

Excellent choices of smoothies, juices and coffee. All natural healthy options, good ambience.

This place is seriously devine! After going to Brazil and tasting their acai, it changed my perspective and I hoped coming back home, I would find a place in The Bay that offered acai bowls similar to that in South America. Well, thank goodness for Juice and Java. The acai here has a rich and sweet taste to it. I love it with everything they add to the bowl like the granola, coconut, honey, bananas, and strawberries. Since having this bowl, I've been coming here like once a week to get it. It's nice too because they offer baked goods, sandwiches, and salads too. I believe they get their baked goods from across their street at Primrose Bakery. I forgot exactly how many smoothies or bowls you need to order to get the next one free but I had to mention it because it's definitely a nice perk so don't forget to ask them about it if you like their acai! read more

Given the name "Green Lemonade", I was expecting more of a lemon-like taste. I even asked for no apple to enhance the citrus flavor but the drink came up short. It tasted like any other mellow, green pressed juice. Nothing special - especially for $7+ ! Would not return for these prices. read more

Fantastic juices to start our morning. They juice every ingredient per order so it takes a little bit of time. But well worth it! Thank you for such a healthy breakfast read more

This is a cute little juicery with a bunch of drink options. Menu offers juices, smoothies, lattes and many more choices like açaí bowls and snacks.. I am usually a die hard Frappuccino lover and would typically to go a coffee shop for my morning pick-me-up but decided to come here for a healthier alternative. I ordered the Mocha Madness which is a smoothie that has bananas, chocolate and expresso blended together. It was really good and kept me energized the whole day! The taste was semi-sweet and chocolatey with a subtle hint of banana. I would order it again for sure. I like the fact they brew the expresso fresh and use quality ingredients. It was really busy when I went and the drink took longer than I expected. Interestingly, other peoples orders were ready before me even though I was ahead of them in line. I wasn't in a rush but if I was then I probably would have lost my patience -- LOL. Despite that, this is a good place with good drinks. Definitely give a try if you are in the area. read more

I loved their Dragonfly drink, everytime i try to come eat here its closed but i finally got the chance to try it. It was worth it.. sort of lol I also ordered their mozzarella sandwich i think its called Caprese? Idk but it was decent. They didnt have tomato so she added turkey to it instead.. it was mid but i still ate it. The cashier girl was the only one working but she was really nice and she tried her best so i appreciate that. Sometimes when youre stressed working at a high volume store by yourself it gets hard to smile. This girl was patient and she didnt let it get to her. Very good hardworking person! I would hire her lol read more

This used to be my go to place for something healthy as I work in the area.. the food quality has always been decent but ever since they got a new owner the service has been awful. It takes around 20 minutes to get a bagel and a juice, I understand good things take time but I ordered a bagel and the owner walked into the back to complete other tasks before even starting on the food read more

Careful, this place is addicting. I was looking for a juice/smoothie place in this area and found this spot. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. The purple poodle smoothie is my absolute favorite. The smoothies taste so fresh. Seriously, if you're looking for a healthy smoothie place in the area, this is the place to go. I had high expectations because the first time I tried acai bowls and smoothies like this was in San Diego, but this place is easily comparable. They also have this drink called the "Cold Buster", it's a mix of ginger, honey & echinacea. I did not like the taste (very gingery and spicy), but that was expected. My cold did improve, though! read more

Wanted an acai bowl after my run in 90 deg weather. Try to always support local rather than the chains (vitality bowl). This place didn't disappoint! My acai bowl with peanut butter was cold but not frozen, flavors and textures were all there (gooey, some crunch w granola, cold, blue with antioxidants, slightly sweet with bananas). Only points of improvement would be asking if i want a lid (just immediately threw it out) and having more nut butters besides peanut (like almond). Nice job :) read more

I love the food, the smoothies are to die for. Dragon fly is my personal favorite. The staff are very nice and kind as well as they gave my order fast. The environment is very cozy and feels very welcoming. read more

I definitely recommend this smoothie bar! My fav is the Purple Poodle! I is one of my favorite smoothies in town! The Green Machine juice is also amazing! I recently just tried a bagel from here too and it was delicious! read more

I love their juices, especially the green machine. I am disappointed however in their refusal to change over from plastic packaging. I have asked to even use a coffee cup for a juice, but they refused to put it in a paper cup. read more

Acai bowls super good! I just wish they had more flavor options. Very cute spot with some seating if you want to eat/ drink coffee there and there is wifi. Only place in the area that I know of with acai bowls, so I am happy that the bowls are quite good. Service was great too! Definitely will come back! read more

got a green juice and chicken salad wrap with cranberries and their special sauce!! both were so yummy!!!!

I always come in and get a green juice. The green juice is always fresh, tasty, and filling. A bit on the pricey side. The only recommendation i have for this business is hiring more people. The girl that works there is very kind, however she looks overworked. Sometimes this place gets really busy and she's the only one working. Her service is always A1! read more

Came here with the gf as she had a craving for some healthy vegetable/fruit juice. I wasn't sure if there was one in downtown old school Pleasanton, but there was! She struck oil! The staff was friendly and didn't come off as ostentatious with their knowledge and actually wanted to help! Most of these fruit juice place might have some of that hipster mind meld craze. The juice itself was pretty good. I didn't feel like washing it down with something else after I drank it, which is always an added bonus for any health drink. This place had a little kick in it which made me want more. Very, and I mean very unusual for me. Overall, this place gets a thumbs up if you're in a hurry and need an extra boost to get you through your day. read more

Parking in this area is difficult, so I always feel like its a hassle to come here. I usually go for a green juice when I visit juice places, and the one here is A-OK. It's not very tasty, but it has all the ingredients I usually look for. I prefer other green juices I've tried at places where they've been able to make it taste better. One thing that throws me off--the green juice is orange. Probably because of the carrot they add in. This doesn't help the flavor, but it's good for you so whatever. The price is decent for what you get! I always go for the largest size because its only 80 cents more or so. Staff is not the friendliest, but they get the orders out pretty quickly, so can't complain. read more

Cool little juice bar place...for all you healthy folks! - Located downtown P-Town. - They serve smoothies, juice drinks, and sandwiches. - Workers seemed friendly enough. - They have water filled ziplock bags with coins hanging over the door way entrances to blind the flies from coming inside...weird yet cool! Drank: Green Isle (7.00) This drink tasted awesome! It has spinach, some fruits and almond milk (no dairy). I really liked that it didn't taste hella sweet... I will come back here again 4 sure! read more

Always eat here when in Pleasanton because I like the healthy meal selections and juice drinks. I returned even though they forgot my sandwich one day. The owner was nice and have me a gift card in an effort to apologize. Unfortunately my last experience was also awful. I took a bite of my sandwich and tasted something crunchy. Turned out they forgot to remove the paper wrapper from the top of the cheese. read more

My daughter and I dropped by for quick lunch and shared a turkey sandwich with pepper jack cheese, tomato, lettuce, cucumber and bell peppers on ciabatta bread.

Great smoothies and sandwiches! I got a gabby's special and my partner got a peach beach and both were delicious. I also loved my Brie, turkey, apple sandwich. Only downside was slow service but they seemed to be maybe unusually busy at that moment. I would still definitely go back and try more on the menu! read more

The staff was very nice and the peanut butter, chocolate smoothy was tasty and my friend really liked her Beet Me Up.

Hate to do this, but SHEESH!! Walked in on a Tuesday morning to being greeted after standing there for 4 minutes by the new owner. Asked if they had regular coffee, "Yes". Asked what kind of sugar free sweeteners they had, was immediately asked, "which do you want?".... Ummm what flavors do you have? Took the poor woman another 4 minutes to figure out what SF syrups she offers . Okay, perfect.. then asked if they had heavy cream... my heavens I started feeling bad for the woman. Struggled finding heavy cream. Pulled out Coffee Mate Original Creamer . Then regular milk. I saw a can of whipped cream on the counter. Asked for some whipped cream on top my coffee. She came back to register to ring me up looking suuuuper lost. Started 'trying' to write on the cup, asked me if I wanted espresso, I said "no thanks, just a regular small coffee with SF vanilla & whipped cream". Confused look again & finally told me she doesn't have regular coffee during the week. HUH?!?! After alllllll that. I finally just ordered the Green Machine juice, no celery. Of course I walk out with my juice, take the first sip & it was straight celery. I just gave it to my friend. What a waste of time, money & effort. Came all the way from Tracy to meet a friend there because we used to LOOOVE this place. Needless to say, I won't be back. The new owner seemed CLUELESS. It was the Coffee Mate original creamer for me LOL!!! After working at Starbucks for many years, I was excited to try my old fav JAVA SHOP, but nah!!! read more

I was going to VB for a long time with my Costco discount cards. But I found this little jewel today and signed up for the rewards program. The prices are very reasonable, especially when comparing to other similar bigger businesses. I'll be going here from now on. I won't leave VB in the dust though. They are still great, just pricey. JJ is closer to home too! check it out. You won't be disappointed. Expect a slight wait. But that's true for any place making fresh, good for you, foods! I got the Beet me up juice and the Green Isle smoothie. Both AMAZING! Next I'll try a yummy bowl and a gluten free sandwich! Can't wait! read more
