I was excited to try this place out - I eat pretty healthy and love a place that makes it easy to grab and go health-conscious grub. I got a power bowl, which was basically just a sugar blast. For a place that peddles health and detoxing I was surprised at the sugar load in their bowls. Mine has banana in it as well as blueberries and strawberries. This is already a lot of flavor. They added so much honey to the bowl and stevia (?) to the granola I couldn't eat more than a bite. read more

We loved Juicekeys!! They have 5 smoothie bowl options and many more smoothie options. I got the Blueberry Chia and added bananas on top. The bowls are more decadent than your typical açaí bowl, which I really enjoyed. The Give Me Mo bowl tastes like chocolate ice cream with a hint of coffee - I'm not complaining since it's so healthy! Definitely go check it out! If you're driving, I recommend parking in the Corcoran Street Garage and walking up - free on weekends. When visiting, make sure you don't skip the loft! Go upstairs to see cool wooden artwork, like this outline of NC and there's a panorama of the Durham skyline. read more

Juicekeys - The loft at Juicekeys - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Juicekeys is my favorite smoothie bowl spot in Durham. I like how fresh the fruit is, the potions are large and when I order online my order is always ready and perfect when I arrive. The smoothie itself is so creamy and well blended and not icy ever. I take my boyfriend here every time we run together and it hits the spot, I like the eat outside downtown. Definitely expensive though which is why I am giving 4 stars. We get the blueberry bowl read more

In every city I go to I always try the highest rated smoothie bowl place, and Juicekeys in Durham is the best I have ever had! The texture of their smoothies is unique; it is thick and full of flavor. Their smoothie bowls will leave you filled up and ready to take on any homework or workout. They are not too sweet and combine a variety of smooth and crunchy textures. The location is also super cute! It's a perfect study spot for students, and I fully plan on returning during my time at Duke :) The ambiance is quiet and restorative, perfectly energizing without too much loud hustle and bustle. They also have curbside pickup available if you are on the go! I can't wait to return and try more of the menu :) read more

I am so impressed by Juicekeys! Let's get the main barrier out of the way first: it's pricey. I got the seasonal smoothie bowl (carrot cake) and it was $14. However, it was SO FILLING. I probably ate a quarter of the bowl before saving the rest for later. My bowl had fruits, veggies, granola, all the usual suspects, but it tasted like a delicious dessert! I took mine to go so I can't speak for the service but the place is adorable and I would definitely eat inside next time for the cute vibes! So happy to have Juicekeys right downtown. read more

Place is clean and has a chill vibe. Wood and brick make it feel very earthy. Music is slow indie. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The menu is huge so it took me a few minutes to pick. I prefer bowls over smoothies (I like to chew my food) so I wish they had more bowls. I selected the Holy Cacao Bowl, it came out in like 2 minutes it was cold and refreshing. The granola is delightful. Bananas fresh, overall flavor is original and light yet filling. Bathrooms were clean! I would have given 5 stars but I think the price point is a little too high. Usually I pay $8-10 for bowls. Worth the try, I'll be back but only when I want to treat myself. read more

Juicekeys - Half eaten Holy Cacao Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I was really excited when this place opened because I am always excited for new healthy places opening in Durham, especially when they have açaí bowls! I really enjoyed my holy cacao bowl, although it was pretty heavy. I loved getting to try a new bowl that was nutty and thick but definitely won't be a regular stop. Also my friend who has a nut allergy was afraid to try anything as they all had some form of nut in it- Also no açaí bowl alone, all other flavors which was a let down. Great space with a cool outdoorsy vibe! read more

Sooooo, I've been a juice keys fan for a couple of years now. One of my coworkers put me on and I've been hooked! I usually go to their Falls of Neuse location in Raleigh since I work close by, but weekends I'm at the Durham location. It's absolutely amazing. One... I love the fact that it's a small growing family business, two... the service is always amazing. Three... it's so clean I'm scared to touch anything (that's a good thing) and lastly, the drinks are good. I'm a huge green juice fan and my favorite is the Green Bibi. That's my go to when I need energy or feel like I'm coming down with something. The only thing is the parking. But that's to be expected when going downtown Durham. Overall 5 stars! read more

Went here for the first time and it is super cute. I got the strawberry bowl & it was really tasty. The smoothie was very creamy & had a nice vanilla flavor to it. I would have preferred a greater variety of fruits toppings but the granola throughout was a nice texture. I will say their bowls are way overpriced. I make my own at home for a fraction of the price. Also, when I lived in San Diego, açaí & pitaya bowls were on average about $7-8 & this was $13. I am not sure I'd go back for this reason because I can make these at home already but the interior is really adorable & it was tasty. read more

I love this place and used to go hang here all the time but the new music really kills the vibe for me. The old playlist wasn't really ideal either but it was definitely better than this one. Really hope they change it soon bc I miss spending time there. Maybe the younger staffers could make a playlist or something idk but please change it! read more

This was my first time going to this location. I ordered my food though the app and it was pretty easy to use! They had a great set up for me to pick up my food at a safe distance during the pandemic. I got the key lime bowl and added kale and removed the stevia. I would highly recommend that bowl! I really wanted to get a salad, but given the circumstances, I understand that they will being it back on the menu at a later date. read more

Me and my best friend would come here weekly when we lived in the area. The green-zini smoothie with extra spirulina was a hit! I just recently went because I was back in the area and they were out of spirulina so maybe there's a drought? But this particular Juicekeys location makes the best smoothies and has the best service. Some reviews complain about the pricing but I feel that it is justified by the quality of the menu items and you're just getting what you pay for and it's totally worth it. Strawberries are also now in season so the bowls are a great way to go. read more

I am unsure if I'll find myself wanting to give this business another chance or not... I ordered the protein smoothie, total came out to a little over $11.77. I was already a little thrown off with the steep price for a drink but I knew there were a number of ingredients and I know there's a price to pay for "healthier" ingredients. Came in a 16 oz cup from the looks of it. I could hardly get through half of it. I have no idea how they managed to blend bananas, cashew butter, and protein powder into an almost exact texture of mucus but that's all I could get from this drink. Hardly a banana flavor, no hint of nut butter, all gooey phlegm... and the most expensive smoothie I can recall paying for. I wanted to have a little lunch treat so I went and bought a simple smoothie I would usually have made myself because I expected this business to be a step up from the standard.... Nope. read more

Delicious banana bread smoothie and strawberry shortcake bowls. Both were filling and perfectly sweet. But both were terribly overpriced at nearly $12 each. read more

Good bowls, nice service and atmosphere. Can't recommend if you follow a diet that counts calories. As someone who needs a lot of calories in order to gain weight, I can't tell if eating here is a meal or a snack. read more

We searched Yelp for açaí bowls and this place came up second;however, they do not have açaí at all. They do have "power bowls" which are similar, but in our opinion, not nearly as good. The menu is pricey too. The staff were very friendly and the place is cute, but we won't be going back. read more

Finally Juicekeys has opened a locations in Durham! This place makes the best açaí bowls..... that was taste approved by my Tia Lu from Brazil :) she loved them too. It's also super cute inside read more

Lots of selection, tasty smoothies. Price point is a bit high...but I get it. The stuff that goes into those delicious smoothies is not cheap. Hence the high quality product. Still, it's hard to justify spending that much (plus tax). Really good stuff, though I see it more as a "treat yo self" kinda place. :) read more

What a great spot! I was craving something healthy after traveling for work, and the Blue-Green Zini was perfect. I was also very impressed by the customer service, as the worker walked me through the menu and guided me towards what would suit what I was looking for. Sometimes I like this, and othertimes I don't... but being that I let him know this was my first time here, I was happy he helped me out. Cute spot, great service, will be back if I'm in the area again! read more

Juicekeys is my favorite smoothie spot in Durham, hands down! I have been here multiple times. Not only is it a local small business, but they have the best ingredients and food here is truly health conscious and not just some sugary drink disguised as a smoothie. Every time I have come the staff here is very friendly and is even helpful with offering suggestions. I love the thickness of the smoothies and bowls. They are actually very filling! They offer a lot of add ons and things to customize your drink as well. Definitely recommend! read more

This has to be one of the best smoothie bowls I've had! They are without a doubt addictive. The team is friendly, passionate about their business and just overall great at what they do. The cleanliness and customer service alone deserve five stars but the recipes down to the granola really set this place far above! read more

This place is amazing. Good healthy options with all natural ingredients. Opted for the bowls to enjoy the granola crunch and fresh fruit.

The location is perfect for downtown strollers. Also, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I selected the Mo'Mocha smoothie- which needs no introduction (Thank Me Later). I'm totally sold on - All Things Juicekeys. read more

I've only been here once, but it was DELICIOUS! I had a Gimme Mo bowl. I didn't really know what to expect, but I can't wait to come back for another. It was like a dessert but filling and seems healthy? It's on the expensive side, but I didn't have a problem with that especially during COVID. The staff were very nice and helpful! The inside is beautiful too. Hopefully I can hang out inside after COVID. read more

Quality of the smoothie was OUTSTANDING. But the menu is quite over priced. Come here if you're willing to pay a lot for a good smoothie. Otherwise, the food is fresh and good, but in small portions. Don't come here expecting a meal. read more

I stopped in here for a quick snack in downtown Durham. I had high expectations and they were exceeded!! The avocado toast and the blueberry bliss bowl are to die for. The fruits were very fresh and not soggy. The toast was the perfect amount of toasted. Inside the shop, the atmosphere is very cute and comfortable. The only downside is it is a tad expensive but totally worth it! A must visit if in Durham. read more

Happy Dance! I tried a smoothie here while visiting Durham, and now I wish I lived here so I could have this every day. They use all organic ingredients which is very important to me, and no ice so the smoothies are super thick and creamy. read more

I absolutely loveeeeee the pina coloda smoothie from Juice Keys! My only gripe is that the smoothies are pretty pricey for my budget so I can only go every so often. read more

Great texture and taste. However, 1) $12 for a smoothie is a ridiculous amount. 2) How is strawberry-banana not an option? 3) No whey protein. read more

When I think of a super healthy and organic place, the first thing that comes to mind is Juice Keys. They not only have juices, but a large variety of smoothies as well as smoothie bowls. They even have to go freshly made food and snacks. At first glance the price point is on the higher side which almost turned me away but when you speak to the staff you realize why the prices are higher. They are one of the unique smoothie shops that don't add water or ice to their smoothies. It is purely just packed with the ingredients listed, meaning denser, and more filling treats. Considering that I think the price makes sense. This location is newer than the Raleigh one, and provides great customer service since the first week it opened. My favourite smoothie is their Mo Mocha ( I get it with extra coffee) and I looove it! read more

costumer service was great!! the women with curly black hair and black framed glasses who served me was very helpful and answered all of my questions and was very kind! Even gave me great recommendation for my smoothie which turned out delicious! will definitely be stopping by again! read more

I tried the dreamsicle smoothie and it was enough to split with another person. Great consistency and flavor-tart and not overly sweet. Tasted fresh and light. Loved it! I'll be back to try more. read more

I hope you like your smoothies thicc. My first experience at Juicekeys was pretty good. As a Clean Juice regular I had an idea what to expect. A $10-$13 smoothie that drinks like a traditional smoothie or maybe a milkshake. Juicekeys makes big deal about how their smoothies don't use ice. There's some good and bad to this but overall the final product is very good. Being my first experience at Juicekeys the menu is beautifully designed and a bit overwhelming. I settled on a large Dreamsicle (Coconut Water, Orange, Mango, Banana, Raw Cashew Butter, Raw Vanilla Protein, Orange Extract, Stevia). Since they don't use ice their smoothies are super think. Think more along the lines of a Blizzard at Dairy Queen. It's the kind of thing they could turn upside down and it wouldn't slip out of the cup. I'm honestly surprised they didn't borrow that marketing ploy from Dairy Queen now that I think about it. Their smoothies are thicc like a Cookout milkshake. You're not drinking this baby with a straw unless it sits in the sun for 10 minutes. So be warned it's not like something you'll get and be able to slurp away with a quickness. You wait for their smoothies to get good and ready for you. The Dreamsicle smoothie was overall pretty good. It could have been a little sweeter but I'd still order it again. The large size was the right size for me since I was looking at it for a meal replacement and less of a snack. Like I said, these things are thicc so don't go in thinking this is some liquidly Smoothie King nonsense. You're going to be sucking on that straw like your trying to siphon gas like it's the apocalypse and AAA isn't coming to help save you. Their establishment is in the new trendy One City Center in Durham so it's centrally located to everything downtown. It's a good addition to the downtown scene since there really isn't a smoothie/acai bowl place close by beyond Jamba Juice. The staff was super polite and I can easily see myself coming here again. But seriously... them smoothies are thicc. read more

Prices are very steep compared to the size of the Açaí bowls. The taste was as expected.

Was a little worried coming in here since a "fancy" juice place is not really my type of place, but upon walking in, we were warmly welcomed by the employee at the counter. The inside is super cute, with a little waterfall in the back and a photo of a Durham skyline so it kind of looks like you're sitting out side....really good atmosphere in here! The employee working was very friendly and when we told her it was our first time visiting, she kindly went through the whole menu board to give us a run-down of the smoothies, juices and bowls available. Both of us went for a juice because we had eaten a big lunch earlier in the day and still weren't super hungry...I'm a huge fan of ginger so I went with the #23 Green Bibi and it was delicious!! We both got 24oz sizes so the price added up quite fast. I really enjoyed it here and will think of it as a treat when I want something quick and healthy after a workout or something, but I can't make it a regular thing at the prices they charge. read more

juicekeys is a great place to hang out and get a power bowl or juice. there's a lot of seating and internet so you can work. there's also a loft section which is really nice if you have a group. there's background noise of music and a babbling brook of their fountain waterfall. can't get any better than that for a study spot. but the price definitely steep for a cup of juice. it's yummy for sure and i like the sweeter ones but it's healthy and yummy. definitely a nice spot that i'll be back to read more

Had take-out lunch here for the first time. Strawberry Bliss bowl. O.M.G. soooo good! Decadent but healthy. Love it.

It was a Hot day and I was downtown and needed something to refresh me so this was a good stop...Like with a lot of these places, you are just overwhelmed with the choices.....But, I just settled for something basic that had some Mango within it....and I did sample one or two of the others as well....Prices were in that mid range, but you kinda of expect that from a Smoothie/Juice place and the lady at the front counter was real nice and shared some of her life story as well as told me about the siblings who own the place...Apparently they have one in Raleigh as well, and I think I might have visited that at a point I was living in the Capital City but please don't quote me on that...Also had the pleasure of meeting a couple of entrepreneurs who use the WeWork space upstairs and they were very pleasant as well...Told them about my Podcast and they told me about their Real Estate business....Referred them to a photography friend of mine....The way the place is laid out, I'm thinking it's almost designed for this kind of networking to happen naturally.....and, during the Summer, we all need to find ways to cool off.... read more
