this is food medicine in a powerful form. as someone with chronic digestive issues i always get a shea butter smoothie when i can't eat, but more recently i bounced back from a truly horrible stomach bug in literally a matter of hours after getting a "life is good" smoothie-- i've been living next to this place for a couple years now and i go here before the doctor. the owner understands the power of fresh and curated nutrition and her menu is magically healing. also not to mention everything is delicious. the staff is amazing and always very kind and friendly. read more

I know a lot of people go here for smoothies but I would stick to the the ones without protein. I have no idea what kind of protein they use and the almond milk is sub par. The brand they use is mostly fillers and only has about 8 or 9% of real almonds. There is a distinct ersatz quality to it. I would prefer a choice of whole milk for those of us who are not lactose intolerant, but they probably wouldn't us organic or grass fed milk. The whole point of getting a smoothie is health, right? I know using better products would increase the price point, but I would rather pay for the quality than go on the cheap with sub par ingredients that only add to one's health issues. I may try just the fruit juices next time. read more

Love Shea Butter in JP!!! My family loves the Big Papi with chocolate and peanut butter. I would love the owner to add the ability to tip the great folks working there - they are always so kind. I was expecting the screen to swing around after my order so I could add something for them. read more

This is a place that is on the regular rotation for me- I am surprised I haven't reviewed yet! It is a walk up window that has surprisingly good (aka long) hours that really hits the spot when I have a health food itch. It has a great selection of smoothies, power juices and bowls. While I have tried quite a few, I have landed on berrylicious being my favorite treat after a Saturday morning workout (sweet with protein in the greek yogurt base). It is 9 dollars for a small, but it feels very worth it for the quality and consistency of these smoothies. There is plenty of parking right up in front of the window and in the warmer months there is seating out front! read more

Disappointed .... Once again! I have been following this place since the gas station on Blue Hill. Great service but has gone down since. I have been to morrissey BLVD and a few times they have ran out or not had something to make a meal. Not sure if they ran out or not been able to replenish. Today I ordered 3 items from the JP place and I got a notification that they didn't have the ginger.... I approved it... but bring other 2 items. Then 30 minutes go by I see what the hold up is .... My ordered was canceled. So I called - their blenders are broken.... HOW?!?!??! It's a smoothie place. So I told her she should have sent the yogurt bowl and she says the guy walked out on her. Why are you calling?!?! Send what you have: soooo much for my day of smoothie and yogurt. Hope they get better because they have good smoothies - but you have to have it / it will be a while before I go back - if I go back. Disappointing read more

Love coming here. Grab a quick smoothie after the gym, before a road trip, before the mall, or dinner substitute.

The smoothies are hit or miss. I am not a fan of getting a smoothie & there chunks of fruit in it. Some of the smoothies are vegan but many aren't which is unfortunate--why not make most of them vegan? It takes a while to get your smoothie, longer than it should, which can be annoying. I think it's great to be able to support small mom & pop businesses in the neighborhood though. read more

Its a little hole in the wall, I didnt see any seating but the drinks are BOMB. My boyfriend and I got a drink and just ordered ahead, and they were sooo good. For all the gym buffs definitely recommend getting their protein shakes. The folks are also ah-mazing. They gave us chocolate covered strawberries, and that might be a new addiction that they introduced me too. Overall recommend, and best part they are a small black owned business which always feels great to support! read more

This is a review of my experience today at the new branch of Shea Butter Smoothies in Jamaica Plain. In a nutshell, my impression is that customer service is severely lacking, and that basic aspects of the business, such as inventory and work flow, have not been well attended to. We watched them get three orders wrong, and the wait time was unacceptably long. Based on the many positive reviews of the Dorchester location, I am surprised by these circumstances. I ordered a Nipsey Lemonade for my son and a Get Well shot for myself. The cashier seemed inexperienced, though her manicure was outstanding. She did not ask me what size lemonade I wanted, she seemed awkward with the interface, and she didn't have use basic cashier vocabulary such as thank you. I did not think she was intentionally rude, just lacking in experience. I paid and we began to wait. After about ten minutes, the employee who seemed to be in charge of things called my name and we walked up to the counter. Without apology, she told us that they cannot make us a lemonade because they don't have any juice. She said the only juice they had were the three bottles in the counter-top fridge. Did we want one of those? We hesitated, thinking we could have gone anywhere else for previously pressed juice. We wanted something fresh. So we returned to browse the menu, and I asked for clarification--Which menu items are not available? She repeated that they did not have any juice, so I asked if we should then limit our browsing to the smoothie menu, and she said yes. She never smiled. My son chose a Bad and Bougie smoothie. No one asked us what size. She told her co-worker to tell any future customers that there would be at least a 20 minute wait because she had four smoothie orders to fill. A new mom who had ordered herself a smoothie while we waited seemed quietly alarmed at this announcement, and politely asked about the ETA of her order. They told her 10 minutes. So she went for a walk and came back after ten minutes. The smoothie was not ready after ten minutes, so she chose to wait outside. We were also waiting outside because the music in the PA system (Female vocals, Gospel?) was punishingly loud. The mom shared with us that she had popped in to treat herself to a smoothie to enjoy while she walked around the pond while her baby slept. Now, she was disappointed at having to spend those precious moments of the baby sleeping waiting for a smoothie on Centre Street. Before we had retreated to the sidewalk, they called out "Ginger Shot!" I asked if that was for me and they said yes. I said thanks but I ordered a Get Well shot. She asked, "So you want a Get Well shot?" I replied that yes, that was what I had ordered. In a quick moment, they served me a Get Well shot in a cup that could have held at least 8 shots. It looked so diminutive. I would have been happier if the shot had been served in a smaller vessel. Back on the sidewalk, they brought out my son's smoothie. Yay! It was tasty. And it appeared to be a large, which surprised me, because based on the pricing, I believe we had paid for a small. A few minutes later, they delivered the smoothie to the mom. It was clearly much smaller than my son's, and she asked if it was a small. Affirmative. She said that she had ordered a large (it had cost $14!), and that she wasn't sure what to do because she really wanted the smoothie that she had ordered, but the baby would be waking up soon so she was reluctant to wait. The employee said she would take the smoothie inside for her, not addressing the mom's concerns directly. To me it seemed that there were two options the employee could have offered: either offer a refund for the cost difference between large and small, or offer to make her a large right away, skipping the 20-minute + wait. We stayed and chatted with the mom for a few minutes and said goodbye and went on our way. When we left, she was still waiting for her large smoothie. read more

Delicious smoothies & the fruit bouquets are beautiful! Staff is friendly and service was fast.

Went here this morning and let me start off by saying was not expecting to get a smoothie from a gas station at JP but here we are. Customer service was eh cashier did not seem like they wanted to be there... don't get me started on the smoothie i got it was the mango madness and it was not fully blended at all there was chunks of it and the taste was not all there taste like coconut water with mango chunks it in. Definitely learned my lesson getting a smoothie from a gas station. read more

This spot is everything, they have ginger shots that gives you an Extra life depending on your beverage of if you like smoothies or juiced fruit there's something for your taste buds you will not be disappointed great service and the prices are awesome. This will be my go spot. read more

I used to love this place but now it is hit or miss. I miss when the owner would be working with her crew. The prices are higher now like everything else but it's disappointing paying $12 for a small and having to chew the entire time because the person put mostly berries and coconut flakes, can't taste anything else.

I ordered a smoothie bowl one day in advanced and it got dropped off earlier than I had scheduled it for which was not an issue for me. I got the life is good bowl and it was amazing! The menu doesn't give too many details on the base/everything in the bowl but I was pleasantly surprised when I ate it. The bowl is a little small but I think it makes sense for the price. I definitely want to stop by and try their smoothies, the menu looks interesting! My only "con" was the the store didn't give the delivery person a bag or something to hold the bowl so he couldn't just leave it outside of my door. I wore a mask and he did too but I think a little paper bag would of been a good way to keep things safe. Other than that, this was perfect for me. read more

Went here on a Saturday and it was slammed. They did their best to keep up with the crowd, but people just kept coming. So there was a pretty decent wait and not really anywhere to stand/sit while waiting. THAT being said, these smoothies are definitely worth the wait if there is one (probably a weekend thing). Best Smoothy I've had in a very long time. Great to see healthier options coming to Mattapan from within the community, even if they're hiding in a gas station :) read more

Excellent smoothies! Hidden gem for sure. Brown Stone, Cinnabun are definitely good! Healthy and taste good is a home run!!! read more

I ordered 2 bowls and a green juice 45 minutes ago via seamless and it hasn't even been started yet. Asked to speak to who might be in charge and rude window worker said the owner was "doing his own thing" and wouldn't speak to me lol. Message for the owner - take feedback and fire the brat at the front. read more

I LIVE for smoothies! Unless I make them myself, "Good" smoothies are hard to come by in the " 'hood". Great customer service is also a bit hard to come by no matter WHERE you go in Mass. Shea Butter Smothies, gets a Gold Star on both! Their smoothies are Perfect, and their customer service rates the same. The Big Papi smoothie....Yummmm!!! Thank you, and please Keep up the Great work ladies! Blessings for continued Success! read more

Anytime I'm in this area of Boston I stop in for a smoothie or bowl- they are bomb and the girls that work there are always very friendly!

Can't believe I am having a HEALTHY vegan protein mint chocolate chip smoothie. I might just skip the ice cream next time! I came with a friend after going in an evening walk and I am leaving the gas station all smiles with my green drink in hand. My friend got the Big Ang. You would never know that this smoothie spot is in the Mobil Gas station so keep your eyes open when driving by. Back to the smoothies, they offer a good range of smoothies on their menu and have protein options with the option of using vegan protein instead of whey which is a big plus in my eyes. The prices are also reasonable. The ladies were really nice too when serving us the smoothies and answering our questions. read more

I wish I had found out about this place sooner. This is my favorite place for smoothies in Boston. Sometimes when my life gets super busy, I might not have a huge appetite, but I know that I need something to eat or drink. In those cases, I really like ordering from Shea Butter Smoothies. I have ordered their Cinnabomb several times. I also like their Bad and Boujee, Big Papi, Sunshine Riddim Smoothie, Tropical Bliss, Life Is Good, and Immune Booster. Smoothies from other places can make me feel like I drank too much sugar, but I usually feel good after drinking the smoothies from here. I appreciate that there is emphasis on both health and flavor with all of my orders. If you have not had smoothies from here, you should definitely try them. read more

Great service, I came with my friend the smoothies were immediately made. I ordered the MatchaFun and my friend ordered the Sunshine Riddim. I did wish it tasted more of matcha, it tasted like a banana smoothie with a hint of kale. Other than that everything was great. read more

I love a good smoothie and a friend recommended I try Shea Butter. I finally had an opportunity to go today and I am so glad I did! I got the Big Papi and my daughter had The Dot. They were both delicious! My smoothie was creamy, cold and naturally sweet! The smoothie was mixed well and the small filled me up. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were about right. Located in the Puritan Mall, with free parking makes this place especially convenient. My only sight concern was that my 2 beverage order did not come out together - perhaps because they made them based on kind of drink rather than the order itself. Either way, they are relatively quick getting the drinks out so no real complaint here. We'll be back! read more

Excellent Smoothies! Fast and friendly service with a smile. The pricing is fair, you get what ya pay for!

My friend had told me about these smoothies a while ago, but foolish me didn't believe the hype. My brother brought one for me and it's really bomb. I had the Pineapple Express, loved it. Tried the Big Ang, loved it. I will be back! read more

This business is owned by a dynamic young woman who simply wanted to bring a healthy food option to the Mattapan community! And Shea Butter Smoothies was it! This place is located INSIDE the Mobil Gas Station on Blue Hill Ave. Do not be fooled by its humble location as these amazing smoothies will leaving you coming back for more! I've tried three of the flavors so far (Bad and Boujee, Cinnabun and the Pineapple Express) and every time I'm reluctant to try a different one as the last one was so good. This is my go to smoothie spot now, and although I'm all the way in Somerville, as long as I have gas to spare, I don't mind the trip! Try it - they will not disappoint! read more
