Sidewalk Juice

The juices here were so good and they have a variety of acai bowls. Flavors were amazingly fresh. It’s convenient having it in a co-​op, did a little organic shopping while I waited.

so so good. acai Bowls are amazing and the presentation is gorgeous! I come back all the time.

My first time getting the original acai bowl and let me tell you about it… It’s one of my favorite acai bowl from now on! The consistency of the acai is much like ice cream but literally so good! They had strawberries, bananas, blueberries and coconut flakes as the topping, they weren’t really too greedy about that. Would’ve gave a 5 star but the girl in the cashier who took my order looked like she wanted to go home and was in a bad mood lol but other than that I will definitely be coming back!

This Sidewalk Juice counter is located inside the Burlingame Farmers Market.
We waited 25 – 30 minutes for two smoothies. I wish I’d known that walking in so that I could’ve walked right back out.
I didn’t expect a watery & overly icy Strawberry Colada, as the ingredients sounded full of flavor. Had I thought we could get a replacement in a timely manner, I might’ve asked them to re-​make it because that bland mess was not worth ~$ 8.
My Tropical Valencia was prepared better. The combo of coconut juice, raspberry sorbet, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, & ice made a deep purple color & created a nicely-​balanced sweet/​tangy mix.
Two stars because I can’t waste time waiting on expensive smoothies that aren’t well made.

I decided to break my intermittent fasting with an Acai Bowl from here. After a year on this diet, the best decision ever

I REALLY like the Acai bowls here! Sidewalk Juice is located in the Burlingame Market to the far right when you walk in.
I usually get the original acai bowl which is $ 10.00.Totally worth it if you ask for it in a bowl. The serving of acai is more than enough and that goes for the toppings too! When you order it in the togo cup, portions do get skimpy. Also, this sidewalk juice really lacks customer service.
None of the workers have ever greeted me when I walked in. That goes for other customers too that I saw walk in. I guess it’s going out of their way to smile too while being on the job lol. I asked the girl at the cashier if I could add extra strawberries to my bowl and she looks up to me and says in the most uninterested tone,“I mean if you want to.“Girrrrrrl I was doing you a favor and up selling myself lol BUT with that stank attitude, I don’t need the extra strawberries then.:-)
The acai bowls are poppin, but the customer service is garbo.

1 star for terrible customer service. Walked in and I greeted the employee good morning. No response. I ordered my drink. I said thank you after I paid and thank you once i received my drink. Employee said nothing at all. She didn’t smile at all during the whole transaction. The only time she said something was my total and she left the receipt on the table. It took me a while to realize she wanted me to sign the receipt since i paid with card. I work in customer service. I know how it gets but I was the only customer there and I wasn’t rude at all. At least fake being nice and smile at your customers.

Super delicious Acai Bowl! I grew up just around the corner and have seen this place change ownership so many times. I’m glad this place is here now! I went in hoping they may be able to do something similar to a bowl I got at The Mad Beet in San Diego, but after receiving a strange look at my request I just went with the regular Acai bowl minus the coconut flakes. For $ 10 the bowl itself is pretty hefty compared to other bowls I’ve seen. Definitely worth the money, but still a bit pricey for an everyday snack. The Acai had great flavor and texture was nice and thick which paired perfectly with the granola they put in there. The strawberries and blueberries were pretty tart though, so I didn’t end up eating much of it and ate all the banana. Service wise, it’s pretty standard. Just order at the counter and then pick it up when it’s done. They have a bunch of health bars, fresh cut fruit and granola assortments to keep you occupied while you wait. Definitely coming back here again!

Food/​smoothies: Probably the best place for acai bowls in the area. It’s thick and rich in flavor. I ordered a pitaya bowl once and I didn’t enjoy it, it tasted like nothing. They tend to use underripe bananas to top the bowls which is unpleasant and not worth the $ 10. I’ve tried a couple smoothies and green juices as well. They’re pretty tasty, but nothing outstanding.
Price: This place is getting way too expensive. It’s now $ 10 for a bowl. I get it, acai is expensive but it’s not becoming worth it to come here anymore. I tend to make my own bowls now using acai powder. Drinks are pretty expensive too.
Customer service: Nobody here is rude, but you can tell they’re uninterested and indifferent. Maybe not everyone is having a great day but I’d expect a little bit better customer service.
All in all, I only come here for the acai bowls when I want to treat myself but due to the rising price I don’t even know if it’s worth it anymore. :(

Really fresh juice and smoothies. I love the sweet greens and the Nutella smoothie. they are pretty quick at making the juice. I like also shopping at the market that Sidewalk juice resides in, great organic grocery products and organic produce. I love the freshly made almond butter!
I prefer the San Mateo location-​the staff are a little more friendlier. but this one is Ok.

I am obsessed with the Blueberry Almond smoothie at this place and it’s pretty much the best reward after a class at Pilates ProWorks. Fresh, decently priced, no line. What more can you ask for?
And if you don’t know, it’s inside the grocery store.
I’m so bummed that the one in San Mateo closed.

Came here two days in a row for the sweet greens. It’s located inside of the market just in front of a public 2 hour parking lot. (The juice store will only change up to $ 1 in quarters for the meter).
Thinking it’s a better alternative to juice for my daughter than box juice. It’s a little sweeter than what I would like, but sweet enough that my daughter loved it. Have a god variety of drinks and smoothies and acai bowls and pitaya bowls.
Only here for a short time so won’t be able to enjoy the other items but def a must try for ppl looking to get some fresh healthy juices while strolling the town.

Love this place. We come all the time now.

After craving an acai bowl, I came here this morning for a quick snack. Service was great, the guy at the counter was very friendly. Only bad thing was that there’s only one person behind the counter, so if you want to order while they’re making someone else’s drink; you’ll have to wait until that’s done before you get taken care of.
But regarding the quality, I was definitely impressed! The acai mixture was crazy thick-​but I prefer my mix to be thicker than thinner so I loved that. Granola ratio was yummy and perfect, and they even add a layer at the bottom too which is thoughtful.
Portion was great for a breakfast, and my coworker had one for his lunch and said he didn’t feel hungry for the rest of the work day which is good.
Last thing: price is expensive, but what acai bowl isn’t? At least here you’re getting a pretty big portion compared to other places I’ve been. Gotta try Bare Bowls in Burlingame next to really get the comparison going!

The drinks were amazing and fast!!! We ordered and about 3 minutes later we got our drinks. Delicious and smooth, definitely a great treat if in the neighborhood. The employees weren’t particularly friendly or acknowledged us, but nonetheless the drinks are worth it. Also talk about a great deal for a 16 oz I paid $ 6.50 (pressed juice)

Love this place! They use fresh ingredients and home made kombucha! I usually get kombucha with apple, lemon and ginger juice. It comes out semi-​sweet and has lovely lemon-​ginger zest. I like green energy juice too.

There are two parts to this story — unfortunately, neither of them are good.
On Thursday afternoon, my sister dropped by their location (which is tucked inside a grocery store) right before she went to work at SFO. She ordered a Green Energy (spinach, parsley, kale, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, ginger) and a Bruce Lee (double spinach, double kale, orange, apple, double ginger). While it wasn’t clear how long she actually waited, she called me and told me that it took so long that she had to leave without getting her juices — and that they are leaving a note at the cashier that she will be coming back at some point in the next few days to get her juices. This is not her first time at the rodeo at a juice place, so she of all people has a sense of how long it should take to make juices. For her to have to leave before they can even make her juices most likely means that the timing was WAY off.
Fast forward 36 h later. She sent me to get the juices that she was owed. I told the people at the counter about my situation, and they all look at me like, «WTF are you talking about?» Granted, neither of those people were there on Thursday, but still not the look I should be getting. They finally get someone who was there on Thursday to verify, while one cashier/​juicer was digging through the area around the cashier for this note that had supposedly been there since Thursday. Then it was, «Can you wait?» And I said, «Yes.» And so I did. I was maybe the 3^rd order pending when I walked away. I then decided to take a walk around the grocery store… for 10 minutes… before I got my juices.
Got to the car and started drinking the Bruce Lee (again, double spinach, double kale, orange, apple, double ginger). So given the description, I was expecting something that was spicy and somewhat bitter — which was exactly what I wanted. It was overwhelmingly… sweet. It was as if I was downing apple juice that was green. The supposed double ginger was almost nonexistent until about the last ¼.
For the amount of time we had to wait for this juice, it’s not worth our money. I have a feeling that what I’m seeing is probably startup jitters, but the product doesn’t compensate for it.
I won’t be back. Sorry.

Love the Sidewalk Juice in San Mateo, and had high hopes for this one as it is closer to my house and work. The Acai Bowl tasted fine, but I asked the girl working there to split it into two bowls me (San Mateo always does this for me!) and she got really confused and said she couldn’t because she wouldn’t be able to figure out the portions. Not the end of the world but wow.
Then I ordered a juice, and another girl came into make it I watched her cut up the apples and pears and juice them WITH the stickers on the fruit. I asked them both about it, and they said it’s fine because the machine sorts it out. GROSS! I don’t want to pay $ 6 – 7 dollars for a juice with glue and paper in it!!! That’s disgusting. I’ve brought so many people to the San Mateo location and go there a lot myself, and was hoping this would be as good. But if that’s the practice — fresh juice with a side of paper and sticker — then I’m never going back to either. Disgusting.

I went and ordered the acai bowl to go. I was a little worried after my acai bowl experience yesterday @ The Plant — but wow. The bowl was really great. I got it to go and they put a little granola on the bottom — the acai purée– and then granola and fresh fruit on top. The fruit included Strawberries and Blueberries. The purée was really fresh and clearly pure acai. Also — the attendant working the counter was very, very nice. She was a young lady with blackish hair. She paid close attention to my special requests (no banana and no coconut) and repeated the order back to me when she handed it to me.
I will definitely be back.

Opened in 2015
I have a feeling they will do good
I am not usually a smoothie drinker but I might get hooked on it.
