Unfortunately, my experience here wasn't great once again. The overall atmosphere felt unfriendly, with employees coming across as rude and unwelcoming, which made the visit uncomfortable. The biggest issue, though, was the quality of the açai bowls. They were very disappointing--poorly prepared and lacking the freshness and balance you'd expect. Overall, the quality just wasn't there, and it didn't meet expectations. read more

Pretty solid juice and smoothie spot that is close to downtown Pasadena. My partner and I wanted something quick and light for dinner, so we opted for protein smoothies. We both got the peanut butter banana smoothies and I subbed in chocolate protein. I do wish there was more chocolate flavor to this, because who doesn't love peanut butter and banana paired with chocolate?! The monk fruit sweetener was a nice touch to retain sweetness without extra calories. Otherwise, while ordering was easy and seamless on the kiosk, I did feel a bit awkward when walking in. There were 2-3 people behind the counter and no one said anything when we entered or left. Not a huge deal, they probably had a long day, it just felt a little weird. read more

Lots of items to choose here, from smoothies and juices to bowls and toasts. Everything is made from scratch here. Prices are decent and there's a lot of room to sit comfortably inside. Been here dozens of times and it's always been clean and well-organized. Kudos to the staff here. The beverages here are full of fresh ingredients and are like meals themselves. A healthy one at that. Definitely recommend. read more

Stopped in for an açaí bowl and their bowls are so limited! There are so many other options with unlimited toppings! Several different base options, fruit selection and unlimited toppings! I was expecting similar, nope the set bowls come with only the 1 base and limited toppings. If you want to customize you can, but that will cost quite a bit. I got the double drizzle bowl. Instead of peanut butter I wanted to substitute it with almond butter, nope. I would have to remove the peanut butter and pay $.99 to add almond butter. Seems like a reasonable request, but not worth it. The bowl was basic tasting, average and had only granola and some drizzle toppings. Portions are small and limited. Go to an other place to get unlimited toppings and nicer service! read more

Movita Juice Bar is a açaí and juicer bar located in Pasadena. It's one of many stores that offer healthy smoothies and juice. They're located in midsize shopping plaza. Interior was clean and organized. Indoor seats are available albeit limited. I came on a hot afternoon craving for a nice heathy smoothie. It was my first time to try Movita brand. I had the Papaya smoothie, and it was refreshing. Prices were fair. Staff was competent. Plenty of parking spot. Kiosk available for faster service. Service was spot on. Overall, it's a nice healthy juicer bar. read more

Short Review: Cute juice bar with a wide variety of smoothies, nutritional bars and food, açaí bowls, and juices. Good if you want something quick and healthy on the go. Long Review: I'm not sure if this place is a franchise, a chain, or what but they have a really good value proposition for healthy juicing. I've tried it many times before writing this review and I'll tell you the quality is pretty consistently good. I would recommend sticking to the pre-selected ingredients for each drink because they are really tasty, cause trying to mix and match can be not as good as you would expect. The other good thing is that they have a wide variety of add-ins so you can substitute your favorite health boosts as you like. The service is friendly and pretty fast, so give them a try. read more

Was referred here by a friend who tried the pb banana shake. It is located in a shopping center where Vons is which makes it a bit difficult to find parking during peak hours. Service was good about 2 people ahead of me, my order came out fairly quick. They have a lot of choices but I ordered an avocado toast with the egg and the berry powerful drink. The drink was good not so much that it would make me come back to purchase. The toast was disappointing it was literally a small thin piece of bread that fit in the palm of my hand and the avocado spread looked like fake avocado spread. The place was clean and the ambiance was casual. read more

Movita is so good and very underrated. I would definitely recommend coming here for any smoothies you're looking for as they have a wide variety on their menu. The service is quick too- I always order on the app so I'm not sure how quick they are to make it but it's always ready for me when im there to pick it up. The ambiance is nice too, nothing fancy, but very clean. read more

Highly don't recommend to go. If I can give a negative I would. For the lack of customer service This place needs a whole new staff and a new attitude. Business closes at 9pm. Went in and asked and they stated they close at 9pm. They were already cleaning all counters with BLEACH! So I asked for help and she said nobody at the counter and said to go to the kiosk as she was busy cleaning and refused to help with the register. Then asked about some healthy juice options and she stated that they stopped doing juices and all I can order is smoothy or a bowl only. read more

We love juice and craving for ones. For some reason, we noticed something weird at this location. Four sofa and couple tables inside. We ordered 4 drinks, 2 juices and 2 smoothies. They put pineapple skin in our juices - Daily 7 and Super 8. We questioned why and they said it's their normal practices for juices. Why??? read more

I'm writing a compliment not because of the company because I can no longer claim my points as I'm forced to download their app just so I can claim my points, but this is for their keeper employee Sebastian and the rest of their sweet & helpful staff. Sebastian has been consistent in greeting us with a mood-changing magnetic smile each time we walk into their juice bar! He even remembers the added ingredients that we include in our drinks! A huge applause is well deserved for Sebastian. Keep up the great work bud! Thumbs way up! read more

I come here pretty much on a weekly basis - sometimes even twice a week. My favorite go-to's are the MR Blueberry and the Green Blend. I've gotten a few Acai Bowls from here as well and enjoyed those also! They now have a kiosk where you can order which is convenient if there's a long line. Drinks are usually made pretty fast though even if there is a wait. If you're craving a smoothie 10/10 would recommend Movita! read more

The music is so awful it makes me not want to come back. Smoothie so good though its a shame

I love their smoothies! Best one is the Mr. Coffee, it's so yummy. You are able to customize all the smoothies with supplements and add and subtract things as you wish. They also have açaí bowels which I've tried once and remember being pretty good. They are customizable as well. I also love getting the trio of shots they have. They have a few to choose from and they all come with a little slice of pineapple to help take the shot down. It's a little spot in a strip mall next to Vons and parking is plentiful. The store is always clean and staff is accommodating and friendly. It's my go to smoothie place because it's not as expensive as Jamba Juice, and I feel like much healthier as well. read more

I ordered on DoorDash, we're close by (13 min away). I wanted to try a new place but wow, it was soup. Other places deliver your açaí/ice cream with a small ice pack. Please do not offer DoorDash services when the logistics haven't been figured out. Açaí soup flavor : 2/10 I'll attach photos for the crap quality. read more

Great in all categories I was impressed and have gone back a few times since discovering it

I am a hardcore fan of the coffee smoothie, but my most recent one was a bit off. There was a piece of banana and a few ice cubes that were not blended well, and there was more of the butter taste than the coffee. I'm not sure what happened, but as I saw an advertisement for a barista, perhaps they are training new staff, so some leeway is given this time. However for a drink that is over $10, I'm counting on the next one to be as good as I've always known it to be. It has always been clean, organized with quick service and friendly staff. As long as quality is not sacrificed for quick service, I will continue to frequent this location. read more

I love their acai bowls!! The strawberry, nutella, and banana one is my fav. I ate it so fast that I forgot to get a picture of it! Their decor is cute and nice and vibrant! Employees are always friendly. I came on a Saturday night and my bowl was made so fast! And it comes with a pretty purple yogurt spoon :0) read more

I'm always looking for food that makes me feel good and Movita has it going on. From the juices to their açai, there's something very fresh and satisfying here for everyone. I like all the different toppings you can get on the Acai too. It's full of Superfoods. In a world where food is fake and wrapped in plastic, it's really nice to have a place like Movida as an option to get pure energy that makes you feel good and think right. read more

Changing my mind about the first lovely review I wrote for them. The workers have a don't bother me attitude written all over their face. Not friendly when you are spending $9+ on a drink. Ridiculous customer service. read more

I walked into this Movita location, and surprisingly, I wasn't greeted. OK, not every place does that, but a few minutes later, some pretty girls walk in, and suddenly Cayden springs into action like he's competing for Employee of the Month! When I asked about popular smoothies, Cayden's response was vague at best: "It's all the same. You can substitute anything." I wanted to ask more questions, but it felt like he had a personal vendetta against me from the start. His reply? "Don't hate the player, hate the game." Really? What does that even have to do with a simple smoothie choice? As he walked away, he mumbled something typical. This was my first time at Movita, and while the ambience was initially great, it quickly soured thanks to the poor customer service. I don't recommend this location. They did give me a refund, but the overall experience left much to be desired. To give them another chance, I tried to buy a wheatgrass shot, but Cayden didn't know a thing about collagen, which was why I opted for the wheatgrass shot in the first place. When I told him collagen is a protein, he argued with me, insisting it wasn't. Gaslighting customers, especially when you're misinformed, is completely inappropriate. This was an embarrassing experience, and I won't be returning. I'll also be referring this incident to the Better Business Bureau. read more

Movita Juice Bar - Refund please! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Pasadena, California

Simple and honest review. I payed extra $ for extra protien, Oats, and I forgot what else. Coincidentally a random lady got poured the same drink from the same electric mixer. How do I know? I watched them make it from the side the entire time. So this lead me to two conclusions. One they didn't add what I asked so she "randomly" got what I got. She "somehow" got the same extras I got. A random lady. Got what I got and I payed for it. 100000000 percent that was not the case. So therefore I will never add extras to my drinks. If y'all don't believe me watch them make your drink. See what I see and not just once every time you come. Real review. I hate dishonest service. read more

One-stop-shop for all things healthy! From what I saw, they seem to specialize in their healthy juices and açaí bowls, so I decided to give their bowls a try. I got the "Quick Meal" bowl with almond butter replacement and was very pleased with the freshness, portions and crunchiness of the granola. The base is the plain açaí, which was delicious, but it does cost extra to have either dragonfruit or Proats (protein + oats). I also tend to like açaí stores where you get unlimited toppings for the same price. Here you pick your item and it costs extra to add toppings. The inside of the store was very clean, bright, and welcoming. I particularly liked the digital menu which was very clear and easy to understand. I placed my order with the friendly associate and browsed around the store at their products. The açaí bowl was ready relatively fast and I enjoyed eating it outside at their little seating area. I wished that outdoor seating was more in the sun, but at least they HAD outdoor seating. Overall this was a nice experience and I'll come back to try their juices! read more

Gawd awful taste for me. Im sure it is good for others. I like Boba time for taste and price.

I always come to this movita cause it's the nearest to me and I'm always appreciative of the kindness of staff. However, the past few times I've been coming, the portions of acai bowls have gotten so much smaller. Not sure if it's the staff (never seen them before) or its business strategic. I've worked in the food industry for years so I get it but the portions have DRASTICALLY changed and it's not worth the price. I normally buy 3/4 bowls so i would appreciate if it goes back to when portion sizes were worth the price! :) read more

I'm from Pasadena and though I no longer reside there, I come back to this one because it's convenient for me. I like because they are patient, tell you what drinks , and what wellness shots are good and beneficial for you. I always get the green blend and it's very tasty. Try to come before lunch hours because they share parking with other eateries and Vons Market. This may cause problems with finding parking. read more

Movita Juice Bar - Green blend and blueberry smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Pasadena, California

Ordered an açaí bowl. Went online and put in all my customizations and was delivered the bowl as advertised with zero of my changes. When I called the store to discuss it with them, they hung up on me. Will not be eating there again. read more

I love this place but today they did not give me the quality service they always have given me. Today I ordered a bowl and it just tasted off. The fruit looked bad and there was strawberry stems in my bowl. The bananas were cut thinly and all squished and black. I was trying to get over it but the taste was off like it was dirty or something. I've worked at a juice bar before so I know how they handle the products and it just tasted gross. I'm so annoyed that was a waste of $10 I couldn't even finish it. I'm so disappointed read more

This is a great smoothie stop. No added unnecessary sugars you find at other places. Just clean simple ingredients. I always get the papaya almond-- never see papaya at other places so I take full advantage. I've tried their bowls too also delicious. The service is usually quick.

Movita Juice Bar - PAPAYA ALMOND - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is a solid juice and açaí bowl place. It's in a complex with a few other restaurants and a Vons. We came in here absolutely exhausted from walking around in the heat, so we were in desperate search of something to cool off with. I got the Pineapple Mango smoothie. The mango and pineapple flavors both complimented each other well, and it was only $6.99 for a 24oz! This is an insane deal considering places like Nektar that charge upwards of $7 for 16oz. Two of my friends got the Berry Antioxidant; I tried some of it and it had the classic berry smoothie taste. One of my friends got the Fruit Max bowl and substituted the base with an oat protein. She really liked it! read more

location & parking: in a shared lot & also has a structure for additional parking as well food & drinks: ordered a smoothie and it was priced on the higher end forsure. i am usually a jamba juice girl, so i was not impressed. especially since the smoothie was $8... service: came on a weekday & there was two staff members working, yet they were not as quick as they could've been. it was definitely not busy, as i was the only person in store. vibes: the ambiance is chill, a clasic smoothie spot. they also sell other health and nutrition items as well. overall: 4/5 stars, nothing special & a but pricy. read more

This place has no flexibility at all. In the past, I tried to call in an order and they just couldn't do it unless it's over the app. Fine. Then I asked today if I could just add a banana to the green juice I selected. Had to go back to ask somebody. No can do. I asked can I buy a banana and just throw it in? Nope. Even though they have other drinks with bananas in it, there was just no willingness to make a change. read more

The employees here are incredibly warm and friendly. And the smoothies are delicious! I was just passing through the area and found a gem of a place! I had a hard time with the door, having too many things in my hands and had an incident. The employees went out of their way to help me out. Feeling taken care of like this is rare. Thank you! read more

I love Movita! Their green juice is amazing and I always order it online and it's ready for me in 10-15 mins. The almond papaya is always delicious. The interior isn't as relaxing as I'd like - it's more of a loud space, so I usually take it to go. read more

I really hate to do this, because I used to work in the food industry and appreciate the amount of work that goes into running a successful store.. however, I felt like I had to say something. This is the third time my spouse and myself walk into the Pasadena store and are met with really unpleasant interactions from your staff. We walk in between 9:15p and 9:20p. I understand that it's 10 minutes before the 9:30 closing and there's much to do, however, I feel like the workers make it feel like it's our fault. I'm not sure what a solution is... but I frequent this location usually in the afternoon and it doesn't feel like this. We came in consecutively on 5/27, 5/28, and 5/29 (just now) this week around 9:15-9:20pm because we love this place, but we have been met with really short and unpleasant dispositions from your workers. I don't normally complain, however, today (9:20p) we walked in, they had the pathway to the register blocked off with the mop sign, and when we got to the register (we figured it just meant there was a spill), they told us they weren't accepting cash anymore (I figure because your employees are shutting down the cash register till early). The ones who helped us were the girl with the ponytail (Asian girl) and the girl with the nose ring and curly brown hair (specifically). While I understand that workers are trying to be efficient, this feels really unclear. I'm just wondering if maybe there's a policy I don't know about where you don't accept cash anymore or after a certain time? If so, I apologize. If not, I'm not sure I want to come back anymore due to this consistent experience, which is a bummer. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, M read more
