Originally I was going for their $2 smoothie and once I arrived to their location i realized they moved across the street. Of course they no longer had the $2 smoothie so I decided to get the peanut butter bowl. It was delicious. It's one person making and taking the orders so be prepared to wait. My bowl was top tier will return again whenever I'm in the area. read more

Very rude guy behind the bar. Not coming back again I ask for one minute to read menu and he gets an attitude read more

Ordered a create your own smoothie. The owner was super nice and gave us a large. I ordered a take on their piña colada but, I swapped out mango for strawberry. Absolutely amazing and refreshing. We were thinking of taking a shot and offered a ginger shot on them. I am not a ginger person and I wanted to try it. It was spicy but, the lemon helped. Overall the service was amazing. Comfortable and easygoing place! Will be back! read more

Just came here for a quick healthy lunch with my partner. This place is almost too good to believe--fresh whole fruits and vegetables at better prices than you'd pay for fast food. We each got a salad, one vegan and one tuna, and two $2 smoothies (!!! $2 !!! That's not a typo!!!) We chose blueberry-banana. Such a treat! I'm pretty sure we were helped by Mr. King himself, who was super friendly. All in all it was an extremely affordable, perfect, healthy, delicious lunch right around the corner. read more

The guy/owner who took my order was simply very rude , and the smoothies I got was just waste . Never coming back . read more

Traumatized by the owner's treatment. This happened a year ago before the pandemic hit and I keep thinking about my experience there. He told me watching my smoothie being made was rude and told me to sit down. When I refused, he brought the blind down to prevent me watching from watching my drinks being made. He's a micromanager and wants to control individuals in the space. I'm seriously healing from this experience and I think about it often and really wanted to enjoy this small business. I hope he finds some peace too- the way you operate around people weighs on people over time. read more

My yelp friends. I left a review on google but now I will post it here along with the owners defensive response. I had no idea the person taking care of my order was the owner until I read the reviews. A friend recommended this place to me so I placed an online order for pickup. Upon arrival, I was letting them know I was there for pick up and I was trying to specify what I ordered and the guy behind the counter immediately interrupted me and told me how much I need to pay so I asked him if I can pay with Apple Pay and then he started ranting out of nowhere and said that I'm not supporting small businesses by paying with Apple Pay and that I'm making big corporations richer. If using Apple Pay as a form of payment is such a big problem then why even have it as an option?! I would have appreciated it if he would've respectfully educated me on that so I could've gladly used another form of payment but instead he decided to be very rude and go on a rant about it. It was my very first time going there and he left a very bad impression. I didn't say anything because I was really confused as to why he treated me that way. Although my friend recommended this place, I should have read the reviews before ordering my drink as some of them do state that they have also dealt with someone rude. The smoothie was good which is why I'm giving a 2 star review. I have also seen the way this business responds to some of the bad reviews and it comes off as very defensive. All I'm asking is for respect to be given to your customers going forward as this seems to be a recurring issue. I added this as a response to owner: as I stated earlier, I would've appreciated if you said it in a respectful way. You came at me with a very aggressive tone. You're the one who needs common sense because I ASKED if you were okay with me paying with Apple Pay. If you weren't informed, Apple Pay is literally the same thing as paying with a debit card except my card information is on my phone instead of having the physical card, hence the name Apple Pay. It is a contactless form of payment to businesses which its use has increased due to COVID and I was trying to avoid any physical contact for hygienic reasons. You could've just told me that you would rather prefer a different form of payment instead of going on a rant. In my review I'm not being negative at all, I'm just stating my first time experience with you which happened to be unpleasant because of your attitude and all I'm asking is for you to be respectful to your customers and use the feedback people are giving you so you can improve with your business, not get defensive about it. Good luck. read more

Kings Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

This place rules. I love to come here after a hard workout and order a smoothie to go. It's a nice treat during these times. Instead of doing a class or Going to the gym I workout at home and then reward myself with a trip to see Mr. King! I get something different every time but the one I like the best is called The muscle. It's also very covid safe... workers work behind plexiglass and even then always wear masks. I've seen Mr. king himself multiple times on my trips and he is always wearing a mask. Further, I really love to support a business that supports the community. There is a community fridge outside kings juice bar that is a resource for anyone who is hungry. It wouldn't be possible without Mr. King himself as he pays the electric bill for it and supports the volunteers who keep it stocked. read more

I ordered a smoothie from here last week. I came in and ordered my smoothie and then saw in the back there was an espresso machine. So I got excited and asked the girl if I they made coffee. She said yes. And then I asked her for a latte with oatmilk. She said of course. Then a few minutes later she asks me how I liked my coffee which confused me because it's a latte. Then she hands me a drip coffee with creamer and milk. Somehow my bill came out to $17. I was already late somewhere so I couldn't tell her that's not what I ordered and that I was highly overcharged. She seemed a bit confused, I'm not sure. The smoothie was very very good though! read more

Just tried to get an order from this establishment and it had the worst customer service I've ever experienced. This man was so rude instructing me to order from the side window because I had a dog, which is understandable, but when I went to the window to order, he spoke to me like I owed him something. RUDE! I didn't even open my mouth to order before he barked through the intercom like I was interrupting the business deal of a lifetime....except the place was empty. Garbage. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. The owner or whomever is working is so out of line and nasty. I ended up leaving without ordering due to his nasty energy and comments towards me! No wonder the place was completely empty with not one paying customer in sight! BEWARE! And be warned! Don't spend money when ppl are rude to you! It's tons of other respectful juice cafes for my to grab a juice! THANKS! read more

The gentleman there is rude and unprofessional, let's start there. I think he might be the owner. So we'll call him Owner Dude. The menus and the prices are outdated. Owner Dude seemed to have an attitude, as though I owe him something. I stumbled upon Kings this afternoon while walking through my neighborhood. The store sign/awning looked colorful and it read jerk chicken along with smoothies and fresh juice, so I stopped in. Owner dude was on the phone and it took him two minutes to even acknowledge and assist me. When he informed me they were out of jerk chicken, I ordered a juice priced at $6 that came out to $8.71. After questioning Owner Dude about it, I was rudely informed me that the price had gone up and the menu I was looking at was from 2016. The menu was right there on the counter, and it said what it said! Why do you still have menus from seven years ago, but then cop an attitude when someone refers to that price point? Make it make sense!! Thankfully I didn't spend any money there, nor will I ever. I want to support local business, especially those of my people, but the unprofessionalism is completely uncalled for. I can understand if times are financially challenging, but my man, you can't be struggling AND be an asshole read more

Only reason I gave this place two stars is because the smoothie was really good. First lets start with whomever was behind the counter, I think it was the owner. He was on the phone didn't even greet me when I came in and there was no one else in there so it wasn't too hard to say hello. It was my first time there so I wasn't exactly sure how the ordering worked, I saw the "sweetie" and i asked if it was a smoothie, he quickly snapped at me saying it was a juice and then pointed to where the smoothies were on the menu. I started to give my order and he stopped me mid-way through saying you want a build your own, i guess because I didn't want the wheatgrass it made it a build your own. I finished my order and he asked me what size I wanted I say the 16oz which was on the menu, he then said we only had these sizes, pointing the three cup sizes on the counter, guess I was getting a 20oz then. I went to pull my wallet out to pay with my card and he says we only take cash, despite the fact that there is a sign on the door that says they take credit cards and contactless cards! WTH!! He then says there is an atm across the street. I walk across the street to bakery to use their ATM and then return back to purchase my smoothie. The owner is now on the phone with someone else talking about they are discriminating against him. And still barely no eye contact. He hands me my smoothie (without wearing any gloves used to handle food...gross) and surprisingly says' Thanks and then goes back to his phone conversation. Terrible customer service and false advertising (sorta). I enjoyed the smoothie but not enough to ever go back there!!! They may have an "A" in being cleaning and an A for the smoothies, but they get an F from me for customer service, which in my opinion is the most important thing when it comes to dealing with people. read more

Went a few weeks ago for an açaí bowl I was craving. It was okay. Really overpriced, I didn't think I got what I paid for.

Lovely fresh juices and some light and clean Caribbean style nyam nyammins. A good healthy way to start the day in Ridgewood with a fruit smoothie with lots of ginger. I stay loving it. read more

This place was perfect, they have a nice variety of fresh fruits not just frozen. Also has a nice homey set up and quality was 10/10. The person making my smoothing had such good energy that turned mood around. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Amazing absolutely amazing, Super friendly and inviting. This isn't my first time but from my first time I've felt like I've been coming for years. I ordered a wheat grass shot and the owner said I'ma give you a ginger shot! I was like nooooo he was adamant saying ima give you what you need! It was awful but it definitely was what I needed. Opened my airway like no other. The smoothies are freshly squeezed juices are great taste great. Such a wide variety. This juice bar is where you need to come for your health kick. It's also super clean in here. No dust or debris just lying around! read more

Update: I went in today asking for a cappuccino with oat milk instead of whole milk. The person who took my order was kind enough but the owner was arguing with someone while I was ordering. He then went back to make my cappuccino, I noticed he pulled out whole milk and asked him if he could substitute and he told that I should've said that when I ordered - which I did. He said it wasn't written on the paper...that's not my mistake as the customer. Then he proceeds to tell me that me waiting behind the glass is rude. I should've just asked for my money back then. Don't waste your time coming here to receive terrible service and mediocre coffee. It's just a matter of time before this place closes shop anyways. Go to Rudy's down two blocks for coffee instead. read more

Owner was wearing a mask on chin and another customer (who seemed to be his friend) was NOT wearing a mask. When I confronted them about wearing masks, he was defensive and rude. He said he doesn't want me as a customer trying to tell him the rules, when in fact it is NYC law to wear a mask in a public place. His door also says masks required to enter, smh. After him yelling at me about how I had no place to tell him about masks, he finally proceeded to give me my order. After opening my order he purposefully tampered with it! RUDE! Bad customer service and lack of compassion for a pandemic, the owner is horrible. Go to other places in Ridgewood for better prices, product, and customer service! read more

Awful customer service. You do not speak to someone who's never ordered online from you before like this. Treating me like I've tried to swindle this man before saying "Oh we're not doing that! You wanna order?!" Only to reply with "do what? I just placed an online order." Showed him the email and let him know I have that site my payment info...didn't care and replied with "it's a third party site I didn't get no order so you wanna order or what?!" I told him you don't have to speak to people that way and walked out. I've been in the service industry for over 20 years and this is unacceptable I don't care who you think you are. They should probably remove that site then if it doesn't even create orders and takes your payment information so quickly. read more

As a longtime Ridgewood resident, I gotta say that King's Juice Bar is an essential part of our neighborhood. Mr. King always has an encouraging word to say and the menu has something for everyone. My kids love the $2 strawberry-banana smoothies and since they're so affordable we can get them all the time! I also really appreciate the pass-thru window that Mr King built...it keeps us all safe during a time when it's scary to go into places of business. Supporting local, independent, Black-owned businesses is really important right now! Highly recommended. read more

I love Kings Juice Bar! It's such a nice part of this neighborhood being able to get really great fresh fruit smoothies. If I ever need a pick me up, this is the spot. They have a good variety of sweet smoothies and the more savory green juices if that's what you're into. Definitely recommend! read more

This place is a neighborhood staple, with great smoothies and shakes at a variety of price points. You can keep it simple for only $2 or splurge on something fancier for $7-10. Sometimes when I've gone in, I've gotten to try free samples! Everything is good. This time I ordered a Peanut Tango (see picture). Cash or Zelle only as of now. read more

I love this place!!! Even in the winter, I can't get enough of the smoothies on the yellow menu. Through COVID, I've been using the window Mr. King built on the Weirfield side of his business which has given me extra piece of mind. Besides making excellent drinks and snacks, Mr. King is a community leader in Ridgewood, so it's nice to know that I frequent a business that gives so much back to our neighborhood. read more

King's Juice Bar is a Ridgewood staple, everything is delicious and affordable. Mr. King has been incredibly generous with his time and resources throughout COVID. The Ridgewood Tenants Union community fridge on Weirfield operates thanks to him sharing space and electricity! The first time I purchased a juice was when I had a cold. He convinced me that what I needed was pineapple, orange and ginger juice. He really cares about his customers and loves what he does! read more

Great salads and juices for a low price. The owner however is a douchebag. When I walked by one day I saw they were closed around 2pm. So I called the following day to see if they'd be open.. he answered and I said "hey just making sure you guys were open because I saw the gates down yesterday" he replied "yeah emergencies happen, can I help you?" I said no thank you and hung up. I understand running a business can be stressful but keep in mind that it's all about CUSTOMER SERVICE. So being sarcastic or having a rude tone of voice does not help your business thrive. Instead, you'll get a poor review like this because you choose to be an ass to a customer. My coworkers and I will be taking our money elsewhere. UPDATE: So as a business owner with customers inside your store you decide to make a scene. You walk outside of your store just to yell "YOUR MOTHER IS A DOUCHEBAG" while I'm walking across the street. Of course you get scared and stand 6 feet back when I go into your lame store to confront you about it. You are the prime example of everything a business owner should not be. You did all that for what? It was enjoyable watching those other people walk right out when they saw you acting like the true jackass you are and only proving my point that you are in fact a douchebag in its purest form. You insult my mother over a review? Don't have a business if you can't handle harsh criticism. Stop being so sensitive and maybe you'll succeed. And a peace of advice, don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk you fucking punk. read more

Kings Juice Bar doesn't only serve great smoothies, but the owner is an amazing community leader that cares about the neighborhood. I have always seen him be only respectful with customers. For those with COVID concerns who might be immunocompromised or fearful of going inside enclosed spaces, he created a window on the side of his business to take orders from customers as they wait outside. Support small businesses in our neighborhood but especially those that give back like Mr. King! read more

I've been here several times already, and feel like I can properly write a solid review. Their açaí bowls and green juices (The Hulk and Green Goddess) that I've tried are perfectly delicious and refreshing every time - I appreciate that the staff asks how much ginger you would like before they prepare your juice; that's quite thoughtful! King's is the perfect place to stop on my way home from nearby Blink Fitness, or for a quick healthy breakfast on weekdays. You can even email your order ahead of time, which is great when you're in a hurry. I don't know what some of these low reviews are talking about; every single time I come here the entire staff, including the owner, is extremely friendly and welcoming! Workers seem like they enjoy being there and want to give you the best possible drinks/experience. The neighborhood is lucky to have such a high quality juice bar that is both affordable and provides many healthy options. My friends and I will definitely be back! read more

if i can give this place zero stars i would. my friend who was pregnant told my the owner was rude to her. but i still went to his shop and then experience his rudeness my self. I think he has something against women as well. I walked in and all i said was "can i have " didn't even let me finish my sentence and yelled we don't serve food here just smoothie and juice. i told him i know and that if he would have let me finish my sentence instead of being rude to me he would know. He told me i was ordering food. DONT GO HERE HE IS DISGUSTINGLY RUDEEEEEEEEEE read more

Mr. King rules! Our community fridge is right around the corner. He helps us keep an eye on it, and always waves or comes out to say hello when I'm coming to drop off donations or clean the fridge. And most importantly, the juices are sooooo good! read more

This review is only based upon my experience of terrible customer service from one specific staff member there today. I went inside and was greeted by a very friendly young person when i came in. They were very nice and as soon as i picked out from the overhead menu what i wanted, i asked the staff member what was the price of the juice i requested. Another person, a man that was also behind the counter answered very nastily "the prices are on the menu". Mind you, this is the first time ive ever been to this store. I said where are the prices? And he starts reading in a nasty tone all of the prices. I did not ask for all the prices, I asked for the price of the one specific item i was interested in buying. At this point, i did not let him finish, and i said ok, nevermind. He then gives me a sarcastic "ok merry christmas!" (Which we all know is code for "ah, f@#$#& you" and to be honest, my "you too" was the same in return because i was so angry.) A suggestion for future reference, its much easier and better customer service to just answer the question of price by saying "sure, its ___ dollars, and if you need further information all of our prices are here" than what this person did. I would never go there again. Again, the young person in front was very nice, i dont know if the other man was staff or owner. read more

I love this place! The smell of fresh fruits and vegetables when i walked in made me feel refreshed, and I hadn't even ordered anything yet. Friendly owner adrien king was behind the counter and helped me to choose a fresh not too sweet juice. He knows his stuff! As a mixologist I appreciate knowledgeable liquid blending, and as a customer I appreciate a good juice to make up for the NYC diet of crap lol. Definitely a new Ridgewood staple for me read more

My friend and I ordered here via UberEats for the first and quite possibly the last time. We saw they had jerk chicken and figured we'd try it so we got jerk chicken with potato salad, a grilled cheese and juice. It turned out to be $30 or around there but it wasn't even worth a penny. Why? First bite into the chicken... and it's chewy. Disgusting. Chicken that is cooked PROPERLY falls off the bone and if you press onto it, should break easily. That was not the case with this chicken. It wasn't pink at all, but was definitely undercooked. I pressed onto the chicken and it was hard to break, even with my fingers and a fork and knife. On top of that, they added a regular salad instead of potato salad which isnt as disappointing as the chicken but that was utterly disgusting. I've already contacted UberEats about this instance since my friend is sick by it... great job, you guys just lost two customers. Disappointing. Update on 12/10: As he mentioned below, he asked me to message him explaining what happened and I did... he wasn't apologetic in the slightest. In fact, he said my friend getting sick had nothing to do with the establishment, as you'll see. Terrible customer service too. read more

Horrible customer service. Rude owner ..has an incredibly rude and nasty attitude. . A friend and I walked into the store and the owner was obnoxious. We asked simple questions and he said "read the menu first, it is there". I thought it was just a bad day. However when I read other reviews, other people shared the same experience. I would not want anybody with that negativity touching my food!! read more

This place is just amazing !!! Kings juice bar is super cute and has a nice chilled atmosphere, I ordered a grilled cheese and a açaí bowl and my girlfriend ordered a smoothie.... first off let me just say I didn't know how amazing the grilled cheese would be, something so simply yet so amazing he added presto to the grilled cheese sandwich and it was gluten free it was the best thing ever I've been thinking about it ever since and I'm deff going back for it ! Then the açaí bowl was perfect, the owner ran out of almond butter for my bowl and he was so sweet he ran to the supermarket and got it for me just to satisfy me, and the smoothie was also perfect! read more

Great smoothies. Guy running the place behind the counter is super nice and helpful. Stop by for a smoothie if you're in Ridgewood.

The worst customer service ever!! I've came here 3 times and 3 times there has been a problem. First they didn't except cash and preferred only Zelle because of the "pandemic". Second I placed and order online and when I get there there was no order and then I was told that they don't do online orders...why the hell would you have a website to place online orders then???? Today which will be the LAST TIME I COME INTO THIS DUMP...they tell me my money was not sent through Zelle even though I sent them proof. They made it seem like I was lying and had an attitude about it and refuse to give me my order. All of a sudden my money appeared and they laughed. THIS PLACE IS A POOR EXCUSE OF A BUSINESS WITH HORRIBLE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW THEIR ASS FROM THEIR FACE WHEN IS COMES TO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! I would give NO STARS!!!! read more

Great juice but the workers were incredibly rude. They had an attitude with me and my boyfriend when their contactless menu/ordering system didn't work. Not only that but they were incredibly kind to the white woman in line ahead of us. Tried to support our own people but never again. read more
