Athens Juice Bar

The acai bowl is really good. It’s not as filling as some of the other ones I have had around here but it’s still awesome and keeps me coming back.

This is a wonderful store. It is a true juice store. They have good ingredients, and a variety of smoothies. They allow you to customize your smoothie. They are also vegan friendly! They have fresh organic fruits, I became addidted to the coconut strawberry smoothie. There are different sizes you can order. The staff is friendly and honest! they told me that it was a real fruit smoothie and that my drink would not be sweet. I was estactic! I didn’t want a dessert in a cup and wanted a fruit smoothie. I enjoyed my real fruit smoothie that lacked any sweetner additives. These smoothies are well worth the money!

Same location, same fresh great taste for over 60 years. Must go every time in Miami. Fresh juices, house made fruit punch is the signature juice at this place noting like you have ever tried in your life.

Doesn’t look much from the front, but go in and try it. It’s a cute little juice bar with friendly service and decent smoothies and juices.
TRY IT!

Delicious acai bowl! Found this place after a monstrous swim set and I was HUNGRY! They were fast, fresh and friendly. Will definitely return :)

We came to Miami for a mini vacation with two of my girls and on our last day we found Athens juice bar. We decided to go in a grab a juice/​smoothie and right away we were greeted by the owner and another employee. I ordered a green juice and my friend a smoothie. The juice was good, as good as any juice can be… What wowed me the most was not the juice but the customer service. In almost every place we went to eat or drink the service was sucky, unprofessional, inattentive. This little place proved that you don’t have to be high class to give good service. The owner and employee made conversations with us which made us feel welcomed and important. As far as prices go, really, anywhere you go in Miami is super expensive so don’t be surprised to pay 8 $ for a juice, however I would recommend this place simply because you actually don’t feel so bad about spending your money especially when you feel appreciated and thanked for your business… I work in customer service myself so my expectations are high wherever I go. Overall great experience, and will be coming back whenever I visit this area of Miami again!

This is the second time I have came here, I live in New York, and look forward to coming here, everything is fresh, fruits, vegetables, juices, smoothies, the staff is very nice and wish we could have something like this in Newyork!

Delicious smoothies! Owner is super friendly! Going back tomorrow to try the acia bowls and probably will get another smoothie!

The first time I came to this place was right after work and it was to get a protein smoothie. I believe it was the owner who helped me and he was a very nice, enthusiastic man. He recommended I choose the whey protein with coconut milk, banana and cocoa powder it was delicious and for the 16oz it was $ 7. I thought this was great and couldn’t wait to go back. Now fast forward to almost a year later, and I went back to get the same thing without the whey protein but chia seeds instead and they wanted to charge me $ 11! And the guy behind the counter is a new person that is not very nice or helpful. So I ended up getting the 12oz went down to $ 8. When I got the cup it was so tiny! I think it was more like 8oz I don’t know, it was just so ridiculous and unfortunately it didn’t even taste good!!! It was too sweet so I have no clue WHAT he put in there but it was just a bad second experience all together. North and Mid Beach WE NEED A GOOD JUICE/​SMOOTHIE BAR PLEASE!!!

Unilocalers, you steered me wrong for the first time! This place IS AWFUL. I left furious. It cost me to $ 17.50 to buy one smoothie and one juice! And neither of them were even organic…
Why does this place have 4.5 stars???
In the end, maybe it’s my bad. I didn’t ask the prices before ordering. And the prices weren’t listed anywhere that I could see.
The $ 8, 24-​oz smoothie was made with a pineapple base, strawberry, mango, raspberry — and a huge scoop of crushed ice. Looked like at least a cup of ice. And the drink was definitely watered down and bland. We would’ve used soy milk as a base, since it was listed on the board. But then, we were told there was no soy milk available.
Then there was my 12-​oz cup of juice which cost $ 9.50. It was $ 9 for the beets, carrots, parsley, plus another $ 2.50 for a shot of ginger.
I almost made the mistake of buying a little packet of mixed nuts. You know how expensive they can be. But this one was under $ 3. Smart me – at least I turned the packet around before buying it. From the front, it looks like you’re getting a plump little packet of mixed nuts. Turn it around and from the back, you’ll see the nuts are laying on a bed of raisins. So it only looks like you’re getting nuts.
Bottom line: We’d have to be nuts to back here. We won’t!

Ugh I went here wanting a fresh juice or a smoothie.
I was so disappointed by my smoothie that I threw away half of it before finishing it, which is a huge deal for me since I hate wasting food.
I ordered a mango, strawberry, blueberry, and pineapple smoothie.
I didn’t think that the smoothie was going to be fantastic seeing as there weren’t any people inside the store but I didn’t think it was going to be tasteless either.
The guy just threw some strawberries and blueberries into the blender and then blended them, after he poured this concoction into a cup and then added almond milk on top. what the fuck is that. That is not a fucking smoothie.
He did not add any pineapples or mangoes into the smoothie either, from what I could see and taste, the smoothie tasted like a fruity almond milk, that wasn’t even that cold.
He charged me $ 6 for that cup of crap, I will most definitely never ever come here again.
They don’t use organic ingredients here so I am not sure where they get off charging so much for their drinks…

Another gem on Miami Beach the causeway crowd knows nothing about.
I’ve been coming her 25+ years, love it!
I get up early on the weekend come on down and surprise the family with the best fresh fruit for breakfast they ever had in their life.

Ordered a smoothie with protein powder and it tasted like no protein inside and the guy was rude and called me cheap since I shared it with my friend. Wouldn’t go back he was very rude to me and insulted me.

Went there after going to the beach and ordered an Acai Bowl and a healthy smoothie with Kale and Spinach added… Super fresh and yummy!!! The fruit was perfectly ripe Delish! A must stop if your in North Beach Miami.

Great customer service every time. Laid back atmosphere and the place is clean. The attention to customer satisfaction is very good and it has a bit of a neighborhood juice bar feel to it, very welcoming. The juices are always fresh and they just started adding mangoes to their drinks due to summer, yay!
Great place to stop by after the beach.
I’ve never driven here so I’m not sure how the parking is. All I’ve seen is street parking which is never available. Not sure if they have parking in the back.

The place to go fresh fruit /​veggie juices and fruit platters.
The cold pressed coconut milk is amazing; must try! So refreshing.
Good place for breakfast or afternoon weekend snack.

I usually make my morning smoothie at home. But this morning I found myself out frozen fruit and out of the house too early. Last time I stopped by smoothie king and it was absolutely horrible. This morning I stopped by Athens Juice Bar and got myself a blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, mango, whey protein and in a coconut milk base. It was terrific. Nearly the same as I would have made at home.
They also have fresh juiced veggies, wheat grass, fruit salads, etc.
Very fresh stuff, casual atmosphere and across the street from the beach on 69^th.
Smoothie King has been dethroned big time!

Agave + Cacao + Almond milk + Bananas.
I know, there’s nothing healthy about Agave, which is nutritionally sweeter than Fructose, and Cacao isn’t really a ‘Superfood’ (sorry to burst your bubble raw foodists), but that’s really just how I role when it comes to these sweltering, hot summer days.
It’s really an odd scene when entering Athens. The guy’s who work there are awesome, no complaints, but they’re discussing American-​stuff, and that’s almost non-​existent in North Beach, where quite few people speak English. Okay, that’s a plus. I’m a fan.
That, and the fact that they sell raw food items, like 100% organic, raw Peruvian Ginseng (a month supply for $ 10). Okay, that’s a teaspoon of day of adrenaline and rage — no, these aren’t ‘roids, this is an actual superfood.
I can’t get this stuff at the local Latino supermarkets, or even Whole Foods, for that matter!
Athens, I’m a fan.

This. This is how you should get your juice. No hipsters. No fads. No scene. Just a couple of guys, a lot of fruit & veggies, big machines, and even bigger cups to hold the product. Me gusta.
Each time I come to North Beach, I make a note to come back. There are so many cool local businesses up this way. If it weren’t for all the streetwalkers, clubs that cater to them and the notoriety of the beach, South Beach would have a hard time keeping up with it’s cool cousin to the north. But, I guess that’s why the locals head up that way and tourists don’t. But, back to Athens.
It’s all about the juice, kids. And, I am sort of a juice master. I love it. It’s one of my weaknesses. And although you may find me happily downing some ice, cold purple drink on a summer day (come on… it’s poisoned nirvana), the real stuff always is tops on my preferred list. I was in a bit of a sensory overload. That’s when the owner (I believe) swooped in to save the day.
«What do you like?»
«…juice… ?»
*facepalm*
«I’ve got something for you.»
That ‘something’ turned out to be the Athens Punch: watermelon, orange, lemon, papaya, lime, some other secret fruits, AND pulp! I know that to fully juice something, it’s pulp-​less. However, the textured goodness of chewing fruit flesh as you drink fresh fruit juice is the thing of long smiles. Maybe it’s just me… but I don’t think so.

Went to Athens for a meeting, never heard of it before.
The place is far from glitz and glam. It’s very plain, humble, cozy.
Oscar, the guy behind the counter that everyone seems to love, was extremely nice and said he had been working there for over 20 years.
They made it a point to always call customers by first name. Seemed like ALOT of regulars!
I had a carrot and orange juice. It was excellent. My boss had the punch of the day and said it was amazing. The owners let us know he makes it fresh 2 or 3 times a day.
Definitely a nice change of pace compared to the larger chain «smoothie» shops. This is a good old, original juice bar.
