Great juice/smoothie/acai spot! Love that they’re open until 9pm. I came in after an evening workout for my first visit. Ang was very helpful, friendly, and flexible with helping me make a custom smoothie. There are tons of great looking menu items which I look forward to trying on future visits!

Thank you so much for your Pitaya bowl recommendation! Our dragon fruit is hand-blended to perfection and made especially for those who love living a healthy lifestyle without added sugars.
Smoothies took 40 minutes to make but it felt like 40,000 hours. The smoothies were not even good. Jamba juice is way better than this place. I could make better smoothies at home than this place the smoothies tasted bitter and sour. But at the same time people may have different tastes than I but in my opinion it’s really not that good. The smoothie maker was nice, so two stars.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We completely understand that everyone has different tastes, and if Jamba Juice is more your style, that’s absolutely okay! Our smoothies are intentionally very different from what you’ll find at traditional smoothie stores.
We don’t use syrups, juice, sorbets, ice, or added sweeteners. Instead, we use whole, pure ingredients, including organic ingredients, so our smoothies have a naturally different flavor and texture. Because of that, they may taste less sweet or more tart than what some guests are accustomed to.
We occasionally get hit with a random rush that can create longer-than-normal ticket times. For anyone who prefers to avoid waiting, our app is completely free and allows you to order ahead at no additional charge, so your order can be ready when you arrive.
We’re glad to hear our team member was friendly, and we appreciate you giving us a try!
If you you want healthy and tasty this is the place. Unlike other place they genuinely have healthy ingredients. Great service, great atmosphere. Very friendly competent owner. This is my go to regular place for smoothies.

Thank you so much for your review! It means the world to us!
Everything here has been delish. I love how clean the juices feel and getting globs of peanut butter in the PB Chocolate smoothie. Theyre great after a yoga class at Y6 (Pure Bar and OTF are right there too - feels great to workout and then finish with a cold healthy bev!)

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you’re loving everything as much as we do, we definitely don't scrimp on our ingredients :) we are so grateful to be apart of your wellness routine after Y6. Thanks for supporting our little Carlsbad community spot!
I came here Saturday night with my husband. We were looking for something cold and sweet and healthy. We found this little spot that was still open way past the time most smoothie shops close and we were grateful because we found that they don’t add refined sugars or sweeteners or syrups and it purely the food flavors and natural sweetness. It was delicious and they also offer juices, I got the watermelon Hydr8 juice and that was very tasty as well. The owner was the one making our bowl and she was so kind and genuinely happy to be there and proud of her shop. This is a must go to spot for healthy food, snacks and drinks!!! We will definitely come back here again!!
