I love this place! Everytime I'm passing Newport blvd I will always go there and order their OG Acai Bowls with Extra Extra Chia seed puddings Very hearty and worth the value! :)) read more

Today was my second visit And most likely won't return. The blend itself was bland. The quality of fruits and toppings tasted low quality. The workers weren't as friendly either. Disappointed in the quality of bowls. read more

SMOOTHEST ACAI SMOOTHIE EVER! CUSTOMER SERVICE: 5/5. Greeted right when I walked in. There were two people working at the time and they were preparing the acai bowls for the people that were in front of me. Smoothie came out within less than 5 minutes! DRINK: ACAI SMOOTHIE. 5/5. So creamy and good! I was surprised that all of the flavors were just right. I'm not a huge fan of apple juice but I could barely taste it in the smoothie. Lots of banana chunks which I loved. PRICE: 5/5. Most of the bowls ranged from $7-10 which is the average if not cheaper than other acai places. This mango bowl will be the next thing I get when I stop by. All of the yogi bowls looked delicious and great that they had pictures to show what the bowls looked like on their wall. My 24OZ smoothie came out to $5.95! Such a steal because it's more than what I'd get at Jamba Juice or Nature's Juice and tastes way better too. I'll be back for the bowls~ read more

Best bowls, smoothies at an incredible value! They take a long time so call ahead and order :)

So many options ! I went with the classic acai bowl. These bowls are huge ! (Also, they're not really bowls just super big cups). I loved that they give a lot of fruit and the acai is not overly sweet or icy. Its pretty cheap too. You can basically customize without having to pay $$$ for every little add-on. read more

Jujubar - Classic acai bowl. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great place for a quick stop and go smoothie or acai bowl. Been to a lot of places like this one and was really surprised about the fast service and convenient location. This location is right next to Starbucks on Newport Blvd before you merge onto the 55 freeway. The selection is small, however with smoothies you have an option of adding a boost or protein. I have only tried the Acai Bowls so far since they are my favorite! The bowl sizes are the same as places like Bonzai Bowl, but for the regular size, it's a dollar cheaper! SCORE! My favorite on the menu is definitely the Tsunami Bowl. I would definitely try it! It's also cool they have a bottle of honey near the cashier so you can put as much on your bowl as your heart desires!! I would suggest coming here since the place is new and the service is quick! The only thing I would complain about is the customer service. You can definitely tell when they are tired or having a bad day...I don't need your negative energy! Can you just serve me my order with a smile? It makes my experience so much more enjoyable! read more

Jujubar - Tsunami bowl! :) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We ordered a Gladiator smoothie (without whey protein) and a fruitsatic açaí bowl! Both were really great!!! Super Quick, friendly, great prices and lots of options to choose from with pictures of the items (makes it helpful to choose). Definitely recommend trying if you want a nice refreshing smoothie or fruit bowl. read more

Acai bowls are trending in the OC and Jujubar is one provider of many. Are their acai bowls any different or better than those provided elsewhere? I don't know; I've only had them here. Jujubar offers several different types of acai bowls. All are $7.50 (or $9.50 for a large). The $7.50 size is presented in a wide, deep, clear plastic cup. The cup is filled about 3/4 of the way full, first with thickly pulverized acai berries (which have little taste but lots of texture) then topped with lots of fresh fruit and granola. You add your own honey to the top of this from honey dispensers near the cash register. I sampled both a classic acai bowl and a "tiki bowl", topping both with a good amount of honey. The biggest difference between the two was the addition of coconut and pineapple to the tiki bowl. Both acai bowls were good but I preferred the tiki bowl. Sleuthing on my part leads me to learn that some places dilute their pulverized acai berries more than others, providing a less substantial base for the bowl. Jujubar's acai bowl base was thick and spoon-filling, not watery. I'm not a believer in magical foods but regardless of any touted health benefits of acai berries the bowls were tasty and satisfying. They're a good replacement meal if you're looking to eat clean and at these prices, that's good since you're not likely to have much money left for other foods. I could see how a ritual of an acai bowl a day could grow on you. Jujubar also offers fresh juices and smoothies and that sort of thing. The space is adequate but not one that'll inspire you to linger (it's a bit dark). Service was fine; I was in an out of there in under ten minutes. That's pretty much the entire story of my OC acai bowl experience. WooHoo. read more

Well I've been coming here for a while now and am addicted to their acai bowls. There's at least a dozen or two different ones. They also have excellent smoothies. I probably come here at least once a week as I try to limit myself. If you're in the area I highly recommend. read more

Mediocre at best. I can't believe I paid $8 for this. The smoothie portion only took up 1/3 of my cup and honestly I felt like I was ripped off here. The Apple juice they used was super concentrated and so overpowering it makes the smoothie just take like I was eating apple juice with granola and fruit. Paradise bowls is much better for your value if you're looking for something like this. read more

Jujubar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been searching for a place that serves acai bowl....I haven't found one as good as the one in Hawaii but Jujubar is damn near close to it! I love the fact that the owners here are conscious of people who are dedicated to eating healthy food and staying fit. They offer a lot of organic items along with protein powders. I ordered the Tiger bowl because I have a love relationship with peanut butter, banana, and chocolate. This was also served with strawberry and berries. First off, their regular is HUGE but I enjoyed it so much that I gorged the entire bowl.....now my stomach hurts from eating every bit of that Tiger but it was worth it! Another plus is the honey......you can pour to your heart's content and boy did I! I am definitely coming back for sure. I just wish that there was one closer to me rather than trekking almost 30 miles one way just to get this awesome bowl....but I will be back for more! Thanks fellow yelpers, your review did not disappoint! read more

First time trying an acai bowl and it wasn't bad. The bowls only had one size and they are super huge! The price isn't bad for the amount you get, but the service is kind of slow. The two bowls that I got were the Mango Cha Cha and the Classic. My favorite part about these bowls is their crunchy and slightly sweet granola. It really makes me want to do the cha cha dance! It's so yummy and great for my tummy. All of the fruits are very fresh and the bowls are filling. If you're looking for a healthy snack/meal, this would probably be the place to go. It keeps me content for about 2-3 hours. I hope to visit again soon so I can try their other bowls! They have so many options to choose from and I don't think you'll go wrong with any. Only con is that their parking lot is kind of small. It's in the same lot as Starbucks. read more

There are not many places open on Easter Sunday, so I was sad that my regular acai bowl place was closed. My friend and I had never heard of Jujubar but we were SUPER excited to see that it was open and that it had acai bowls! This place was great; their acai bowls were very refreshing and the customer service was spectacular compared to other acai bowl establishments. The owners were very friendly and I loved that they let you put as much honey as you want on your bowl! I loved the granola and the coconut they topped my bowl with, along with the other fruit toppings. I cannot wait to go back and try all of them. read more

First time I went here was yesterday.. I expect fresh fruits but that wasn't the case! My bowl had soggy old blueberries that seemed to be thawed out. It wasn't edible at all! I tossed it out.. The goji berries tasted really weird as if it was time to throw them out... It had a bitter nasty taste to it..Yuck yuck yuck.. Will not be coming back.. Sorry but that's gross.. I saw one of the workers cut bananas to put in my bowl and he accidentally dropped a piece.. He picked it up and threw it in my bowl.. Isn't that gross.. Overall experience bad.. Bad .. Bad. read more

I'm in love with the super berry bowl! It's huge, so it's perfect for dinner lol totally hits the spot Customer service is great:) I've been coming here for years & it's always a pleasant experience, no troubles EVER considering they're always so busy. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL THAT MAKE MY BOWL SO DELICIOUS! XO read more

Poor service, bad quality and dirty! No one greeted me when I came in, just asked "what do you want?" I was looking over the menu for the first time so I was taking my time to read thru and all I got was attitude. I asked to add kale to my bowl which they charged $1 for and then barely gave me any. The bananas are old and brown and slimy. The pineapple is from a can. The "extra toppings" container on the counter had not been re stocked or cleaned all day. It was just a big mess everywhere. They obviously don't care about their product or service. It was $8.50 for my bowl which is average price for a well below average product. Fail. read more

Jujubar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

One of my favorite açaí bowls. I'll trek down here just to get one. They're very kind, will take phone orders so I can rush back to work. Great quality products. read more

I am shocked this place has ratings below 5 stars!!! It definitely cannot be due to the food because this is, by far, the best acai bowl you will ever have!! I don't know what they put in their mix exactly but it the perfect proportion of everything. Not too chunky, not too watery, and the flavor is out of this world good!! The menu is overwhelmingly lengthy but in a good way! It's pretty much 'build your own' but they are nice enough to include tons of suggestions that all sound delicious. I usually always go with a 'protein' mix and this time was no exception. It had bananas, strawberries, blueberries, a protein mix, topped with coconut and almonds. It was DA BOMB!! At first I did think $8 was a bit high until I saw the portion size! Now I think it's a steal! My recommendation, though, to avoid over-eating since you will because it is so good, is to share one between two people. And if you are going for dessert after a meal, make sure you are still a little hungry. read more

I visited Jujubar for the first time last week and ordered my very first acai bowl EVER. I got the Tsunami (minus the coconut, I have a texture issue) and I must say, I'm officially hooked. I can't wait to come back and enjoy another one! I stopped by Banzai Bowl in HB last night since it's closer to my place and while it was good, it was more expensive and not AS good as Jujubar. I even saved the other half of my Tsunami Bowl for breakfast the next morning and it was just as delicious. I highly recommend this place! read more

Jujubar - Açaí bowl with bee pollen - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Really good, extensive menu (almost overwhelming). It is a bit on the pricey side. My biggest qualm with this place is all the upcharges they have on healthy options. Geez, an extra $1.00 to put a few spinach leaves in your drink or get unsweetened acai (shouldn't it be cheaper bc there's no sweetener?). Oh and if you exclude an ingredient from the recipe you can't substitute it for something else and it's not like they deduct the price. read more

The couple who owns this are SO SO NICE, GRACIOUS, SWEET and FLEXIBLE. They let you do substitutions, they are uber generous with toppings and they don't nickel and dime you like BANZAI BOWLS (TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!). I love going here for their ACAI BOWLS. Great great place. I want to taste everything!!! read more

Literally obsessed with Jujubar. They have hands down perfected the art of the acai bowl and have SO many different options for customized style bowls. Yeah they ALL do that is probably what you're thinking, but the consistency of the bowl is hands down the best I've ever had and acai bowls are my thang! Plus the stamper card makes being a regular that much sweeter. The garden bowl is my go-to... acai, coconut water, tons of greens and the perfect toppings. read more

Liars and unprofessional! The girls who work there are nice but this one Dude is making the orders is lame! Twice he has messed up our order. I will paste our whole conversation with management who responded, if you care to read. The point is, they messed up again and instead of simply apologising, the guy who makes the Acai's flat out lied to his boss!!! He said all the other orders were phone orders, when in fact they all came in after us and they ALL ordered at the register which is why I said the manager should have checked the register history to see there were NO PHONE ORDERS before us! I watched them ALL pay and get their drinks, bowls and bars before us. When 5 people who ordered after us and got theirs, I finally asked what happened to our order. The Dude lied and said, we did not order but asked what we ordered. If we did not order, then how did he know to substitute mango for berries because we did not tell him that on the reorder? Then he lied to his boss about them all being phone orders! I could go on but what's the point! An owner who is as lackadaisical about his business is not worth any more of my time. There are plenty of other Acai places who are just as good and competitively priced. They do have a good product, just not good service! Bottom line...Loose the Dude making the orders! ~~~~ Me: Last time they confused our order. This time they completely skipped our order and served the 5 people behind us before we brought it to their attention. The irony is they have signs begging for tips, which I did before they lost our order. Someone needs to remind them what T.I.P.S stands for...To Insure Proper Service! Owner: Sorry to hear that you were not happy with this service. I have checked with our employees and the orders they passed out before your order were phone orders . All phone orders, since they are already ready, have priority to be passed out as soon as customers came to pick up. Sorry to hear that it makes you think your order was lost but it wasn't . All bowls takes 10 to 15 minutes to process if you place the order at the register. We encourage you to call ahead next time if your time is limited. Thanks again for your patronage. Me: Well then you have convinced me your establishment is not reputable because that is a flat out lie!!! 2 single men came in and ordered right after us, then 2 good looking girls came in after them and ordered, then 2 other guys together came in after all of them, then 2 more single order guys came in after all of them. And ALL OF THEM asked if we had ordered and walked up to the register to order. And I remember watching the last guy tip $2. I even commented that we just beat the rush! Then they made everyone else's who absolutely DID NOT order online!!! They all asked us if we were in line and then ordered and paid at the register. All of this could have been avoided with a simple apology. Now to make matters worse, your employee's have lied and you are a fool to believe them! It is very easy to prove, look at your sales receipts at the same time this sale was made and you will see some people came in and bought health bars and some got Acai bowls and one guy directly after us got a smoothy. None of them were phone orders!!! read more

My daughter and I randomly saw this place and decided to give it a try... for the price $8.00 it's not bad. It was very good and it was a big portion. They have a lot of choices and they also have smoothies. The only thing I didn't like is that you can tell the fruits were frozen and not fresh. read more

I was in the area one day and was super hungry and craving something cold happened to drive by Jujubar. I stopped in and ordered the Wild Cheetah. Holy noms... I haven't tried anything else, yet, but gone way out of my way and been back for this protein smoothie at least 6 times since. Every time it has tasted the same as the first, which is not always the case with these kinds of things. Good stuff. Thank you. read more

Got the regular sized superhero Acai bowl and it was huge!!! This adorable little juice bar was clean and friendly. Would recommend stopping by for a quick healthy fix to kick off your day or to reward yourself after a workout. Quick note: this shop is located inconveniently at the very busy intersection of E 17th and Newport blvd and can only be entered through the NE corner off a small side street. read more

Our smoothies were excellent today!! Spinach and kale with fruit... perfect!!! Very good varied menu! read more

The yogi bowls by far are my favorite here! Suuuuper yummy acai and smoothie bowls along with smoothies and other delicious and healthy treats. I love the tropical yogi bowl because there's mangos, strawberries and bananas in it! The granola definitely makes the best of the bowls. They're crunchy and sweet and do really well to compliment the tanginess of the smoothie and the fruit. Service was lacking as other reviews have mentioned. But otherwise I would recommend this place 10/10 because they have quite large bowls for a decent price! Some places charge an ungodly amount and gives you less too. read more

I just moved to Costa Mesa from Nevada about a month ago. I was recommended Jujubar as a healthy lunch spot. I have to say I'm impressed. I enjoyed my açaí bowl, (something I've never had before), and I enjoyed the kind staff! read more

Huge selection with every possible fruit you can think of, even the heavy hitters like acai and pitaya. Menu includes items beyond the smoothie and include bowls, juices, and shots. A++ The taste of he fruit is rather bland and not very flavorful. They definitely use non-organic grade fruit. Jujubar's smoothies are very comparable to Jamba Juice so if you like Jamba then you'll love Juju. The store was unkept and needed a small amount of attention. Not much, maybe an hour or so At most. They're almost there just missing a few things (napkins missing, straws messy, crumbs on counter, etc). Full disclosure: I previously worked at a large smoothie chain for 3 years and know my smoothies. I still drink at least one per day at home and make it with organic fruit. read more

Simply put: it's overly-sweetened, there are long wait times, dining area is dirty and it absolutely reeks when you walk in. If I had used my head, I would have turned to leave as soon as I smelled the place, but I was craving acai and my cravings won. I'll never go back. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get an acai bowl. The fruit is always fresh, and you get a good amount for your money.

Jujubar serves pretty good açaí bowls off Newport Blvd! I was craving açaí bowls and I finally headed over after 1.5 years living in the area! Service: There's a guy who works here who looks like he hates his life. I greeted him, "good morning" once and he just stared at me. I honestly thought he didn't hear me, so I said it a second time and he again stared at me coldly and just continued on with his work. I'm sorry if you're having a bad day (I know the food industry can be unforgiving and this area can be difficult), but when you act like that it can make others feel sour too so I don't really appreciate it. On a brighter note, the women who work here are cheerful, helpful, and wonderful! They greet, smile, and can crack jokes about stuff which put me in a better mood the second time I came around. Açaí bowls: Tsunami Bowl and Fruitastic - both are great bowls that leave me full for a few hours! They're generous with their toppings and the topping-to-açaí ratio is perfect. I also like adding bee pollen to my order since it's sweet and adds a nice little crunch at the end. read more

Probably my favorite place to get acai bowls. The tiger bowl is the best, only because I love peanut butter. I don't live close by but whenever I'm remotely in the area, I make it my business to stop by and grab a tiger bowl. I've never had anything that I didn't like. I've been swinging by for a fix since they opened shop a few years back. read more
