Code Blu Juice Bar

Perfect place to nourish your body, listen to awesome music, and if need be, accomplish quite a bit of work. Spacious with WiFi and a very cute homelike vibe.

Code Blu was on my radar for a long time before I actually paid a visit. Even though it was walking distance from my job, I just couldn’t find a good reason to justify buying an expensive glass of juice, no matter how delicious and nutritious it was.
I finally had an excuse to visit when I was working on my thesis. I had exhausted just about every writing spot in Buffalo, and with my need for WiFi and a new atmosphere leading the way, I headed over to Code Blu on a rainy afternoon after work.
Immediately I regretted not visiting earlier. The atmosphere is funky and eclectic, while still being cozy and inviting. I holed up on a couch with a comfy throw pillow and worked for several hours, sipping cups of amazingly delicious juice along the way. Even though it doesn’t initially seem like a good place to write for an extended period of time («camping» as I call it), it definitely can be.
So get comfy, get your juice on, and get ready to spend some time at this awesome little juice bar in Allentown.

Great place to grab a quick healthy juice or smoothie or to just sit and relax with something to read. Usually has reggae on when I’ve been there. Perfectly blended, creamy smoothies with fresh ingredients. It is unfortunately often empty (I worry it will go out of business before it builds a following), but that does insure quick, personal service.

I got a smoothie from there and they blended frozen fruit with water, not very tasty. And it took about ten minutes to get the correct consistency of the smoothie, I don’t plan on going back anytime soon

I’m not sure that there are any other juice bars in Allentown. This place has some delicious healthy smoothies and juices. The décor is something like an eclectic Bohemian thrift shop. Never cushions over the heating pipes. It didn’t look like a comfortable place to sit but it looks kinda neat. They also make pannini sandwiches but I haven’t tried the food there yet. Lots of big windows. Perfect for people watching as u listen to the Pandora radio playing through the flat screen tv over the front window. Reggae sounds nice there

This place is pretty close to my house… although the cold winter kept us apart. I am excited to be able to stroll down the street for some fresh juice now that the weather is breaking. We had a salad (although they were out of two of the items that were supposed to go in it.) and each got a juice. I left feeling alive, and full of my daily nutritional needs :)
Service was just one girl… she was nice, but didn’t seem too interested in chatting it up. (I love to engage the servers – or anyone, for that fact – everywhere I go… it gives you an inside view on how things work.) She did point out that they were in the Allentowner… several copies were laying on tables and along the window. I got all the inside scoop I needed from the write up.
Only one man stopped in during our 45 minute stay, but he didn’t order anything. I hope this place stays open – this city needs more places to refuel our cells…

Midday on a Thursday, hungry but trying to stay true to my diet so I did a juice search on Unilocal and this spot came up first. Excellent, nearby and great reviews. As I pulled up I wasn’t sure the place was open. It didn’t look too inviting from the outside but I noticed an open sign in the window and double checked their hours and decided to check it out. Totally didn’t expect this kind of vibe. I felt like I was back in Jamaica with some Bob Marley music and a really relaxed vibe. The whole place was just cool, with tons of seating and a lot of color. The young lady at the counter was very kind and didn’t make me feel rushed when I had absolutely no idea what to order. The place was completely empty and if there were other people in there I may have stayed to do some work but it would have been too awkward.
The juice selection was difficult to choose from as they had a variety of flavors. I went with a small that had kale, lemon, pineapple and apple. I was skeptical. It wasn’t cheap, about 6 bucks for 12 ounces. Got it to go, jumped in my car, took a sip… OH MY GOODNESS. Absolutely sensational, so obvious that all of the ingredients were fresh. I cannot wait to go back and try some more flavors!!!

This place is awesome! I am so happy we have a juice bar here in Buffalo! They are very popular in other places but its taking Buffalo a lil bit to catch on yo the idea of health via fresh juicing and wheat grass.

This is a great place to have a healthy juice or smoothie and/​or something to eat. I keep ordering the green@com smoothie because it tastes so good. I had a good turkey sandwich here too. They make your drink right there, with fresh fruit and vegetables.
They have plenty of tables and chairs, and it’s a good place to sit and relax. They have a flat screen TV that’s been on a Pandora radio station or on YNN news when I’ve been in there. They also have magazines and newspapers that you can flip through while you enjoy your meal/​snack. I haven’t taken advantage of the free wi-​fi yet but that’s available.

Went in for the second time this morning. Green juices are more true to what a serious juicer would have brewed up in their own kitchen than another juice bar I’ve been to making it totally worth the couple extra dollars! Keep it up, ill be back for more soon.

Code Blu has an excellent menu that is inexpensive and great quality. I know this because the owner (an award winning Entrepeneur of Buffalo) comes into my job: Feel Rite Fresh Markets on Delaware (a local Vitamin and Organic Food store) to purchase a lot of her produce and other food products. I have tried quite of few paninis and smoothies there and think their quality is on point with prices below competitors in the area. They also have Open Mics, Chess Nights, Mixers and other events in the space for the community. Its definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the town of Buffalo

I absolutely love Code Blue. I was unfamiliar with the juicing trend until I stopped in one day and gave it a try. They have any and every flavor you can think of. I love the cozy atmosphere. I like to hold business meetings there while enjoying my favorite sweet potato juice!

I give Code Blu Juice Bar 4 stars (I’m saving that last star for you). As I transition to a meatless diet, Code Blu has been pretty influential and helpful in this decision. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. The establishment is warm and inviting. Customer service is key. Far too often businesses lose the personal touch while focusing on the bottom line. Not here! Code Blu Juice Bar is a staple for this block of Allen St. Go. Enjoy. Tell your friends!

If you’re looking for a place to hang back, enjoy fresh juices and soak in the laid back vibes this little juice bar will suit your needs. You will get super friendly service and most of the time will see the owner serving up the drinks and taking your order. The menu is overwhelming in the amount of juice options it gives you. It took me over five minutes to decide that I wanted the «green@com» smoothie which came with a huge blend of various greens and fruits. It was served up in a classy glass, which I was able to enjoy while grinding away at some work with the free wifi provided by the café.
Aside from the juice options available, the menu also offers some sandwiches and poached eggs for breakfast. I haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but still was enthused enough about the juice for me to write a Unilocal review. This place also hosts events, from Open Mic Night, poetry readings and chess meetups to a YOGA & JUICE event that will be starting this October. I am super excited for that.
While I was here, I got to know the owner a little bit and she told me she started this place in hopes that it would be a great community hangout where people can enjoy and nourish themselves. I subscribe to that and will be back. Great addition to this block of Allen St!

On a hot afternoon, I had a craving for a cold smoothie and decided to try Code Blu as I’ve been hearing about it since its opening in January. The interior reminds me of a quaint island restaurant, thanks to the bright wall colors and groovy reggae music playing quietly over the speakers. The menu features a solid array of salads, soups, and sandwiches, and tons of fresh fruit juices and smoothies. I tried a peanut butter and banana protein smoothie, and a refreshing mango and strawberry salad with almonds. The smoothie tasted like a healthy milkshake, and I was thrilled that they cater to folks who are dairy-​free with ingredients like soy protein and almond milk. The salad was very fresh, and flavorful with perfectly ripe fruit and a tasty strawberry balsamic dressing. You can tell that the restaurant hopes to be a community hub for this somewhat forgotten stretch of Allen St. They now host chess nights, poetry readings, and are trying to organize a book club and yoga classes. Code Blu Juice Bar is a great option for a healthy meal, and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

Oh my gosh! I just got a Caribbean Smoothie (Mango, Orange, Banana) and it was so delish I had to make a Unilocal review. This place blows Jamba Juice out of the water (Jamba Juice being much too sweet for my taste). What makes this place amazing is the freshness of the fruit. Jamba Juice uses frozen preconcoctions, but this place adds fresh fruit to the blender. They also have a large variety of Protein Smoothies for those going for a jog in Allentown. This is the perfect place to stop for a little whey protein to build up that muscle!
I also strongly recommend their juices. I love the fact that you can customize your juice. My favorite is my own concoction, which I call a Vampiro: Beet, Carrot, Orange, and Pineapple. Vampire for it’s red color. So tasty!
Their fresh salads aren’t that bad either. I just ate their Caprese Salad and it was pretty tasty. Fresh spinach, basil, tomato, and mozzarella with balsamic vinegar dressing. Their paninis are okay as paninis go. I much prefer the sandwiches at Café 59 down the street, but for fresh juice and smoothies, this is the place to go!

I like this place a lot. The service is good, the juice has not been watered down (like some places do), the prices are reasonable. It’s a clean, cute place. Parking may be tough because of the location. I have not tried their food, just the juices. They have a wide variety and they were fine with making a small subsitution for me. I’ve been there twice and plan to go there much more.
