Manhattan Juice Bar and Cafe

Walked into an empty scenery but had read the reviews so I figured it was worth a shot. I came primarily for the smoothies, decent selection available. I went with the King Kong and a friend had the Penn Station both had a pretty similar taste. The coconut milk had an overbearing flavor and was not properly measured out. Not bad overall, but I most likely wouldn’t go back at least not for the smoothies.

so i stumbled upon this place while i had to wait for a doctor’s appointment in montclair. although i didnt try anything from the juice bar, everything looked so fresh & delicious!!! i ate the thai chicken salad wrap which was amazing! and it comes with a salad on the side. the price is afforable and its super healthy! i will definitely come again. and next time will try the juices.

Great little juice bar. The juices are excellent… food is very good too. Lots of organic supplements, wheat grass etc. prices are reasonable for what you get. I love the #9 juice with a peanut butter energy ball for breakfast…
The décor is a bit strange… but if u can get past that it’s a great spot!

I know this place has been around for a while and I have always wanted to try it. I had just finished a workout and was really craving something healthy and refreshing. I originally went in just to grab a smoothie or juice but I walked out with the orange cleanse juice, a quinoa bowl and an energy ball.
There was a good amount of juice and smoothie options. I decided to go with a juice because the smoothie’s came with protein powder. The guy who helped me actually said I don’t have to get powder but I figured a juice was a better option because it is not something I can make myself at home. I have a blender, I don’t have a juicer, so I got the orange cleanse. It was okay. When I took my first sip it woke me up, for sure. I love orange but I sort of tasted the peel of the orange as I drank it and it was such a bitter taste. When I was ordering I was so indecisive about what to get that he also told me I can mix and match ingredients instead of getting exactly what was in the orange cleanse or for any juice that I wanted. I figured I wouldn’t be complicated and just chose the orange cleanse without being picky especially since I had never tried it before. The fact that he was really patient and cool about it was really good which is just one of the reasons I am giving 5 stars. I think I will definitely try something different when I go back next time or at least customize it more to my liking.
The quinoa bowl was so good and they make it fresh right in front of you! I didn’t want a wrap or a salad because of the options that they had. They didn’t have bad options but again, the options that they had I can easily make myself or I can get the same for cheaper. I don’t normally get quinoa bowls and I decided to get it because I love quinoa and it was filled with veggies. I got everything that the quinoa bowl comes with except with one of the dressings on the side. The chipotle sauce was the one on the side just so I can control the amount of spice I have in it. It actually wasn’t so spicy. The sauce that he included in it was good but there wasn’t much of it. I would definitely ask for both sauces on the side next time because I felt like I got more of the chipotle sauce because it wasn’t mixed in.
As the man was packing up my stuff he was really friendly and I was curious about the energy balls because I’ve seen how to make similar one’s online before. There was no price on them and I wanted to know the price. One was $ 2.25 or something like that. I didn’t want to get one because I felt like I had the juice and bowl and that would be enough and I also planned on making similar one’s myself and I did not want to pay that amount for one ball. I think the ball is worth a try though. He insisted that I take one and gave me one for free! He gave me the chocolate chip peanut butter one. I felt bad because that wasn’t what I wanted to do but I thought it was very sweet of him! He then started to ring me up right after and I realized he did not charge me for it.
I was super full and I actually saved half my bowl for lunch the next day! Maybe it was the juice that filled me up and only allowed me to eat half my quinoa bowl. I also planned on saving the ball for the next day, maybe for a pre-​workout snack. I took one tiny piece to try it and it was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. I ended up eating my juice, half my bowl and my ball all in one sitting.
Overall, I gave 5 stars because of not only the quality in food but also the experience. I didn’t get his name but the man who helped me was tall, afro american and very skinny with a little bit of a fro. He’s super cool and he will make you feel comfortable and educate you when you’re ordering if you are confused. I put a little tip in there for him for his hard work. It’s good to support a business like this where someone is genuinely nice and friendly. The place was also very cute even though I took my food to go.
I definitely recommend, especially the quinoa bowl!

I am so happy to find this place. i was wondering to find something healthy for my snack and I found this hidden gem. i order Avacado tuna and Brooklyn protin smoothy which was great. It feels healthy and full

These guys are the best. I will never forget chesters balls. Get the peanut butter with choc chip. Amazing

Go to spot for a quick lunch. A little on the pricey side, but I always leave satisfied. I suggest the lentil soup for sure, and the chicken panini. Consistently fresh, and they also have a nice selection of juices and smoothies.

I really liked that everything was fresh, and they make everything right in front of you, but I didn’t like the taste of the Red Light juice I got. The Immune Booster was on point though! Great place overall!

Love this place! They offer yummy smoothies, snacks, & food. I’ve had their quinoa bowl which was just delicious. They also have peanut butter protein balls that are very yummy. I would definitely try their cranberry, Apple, chicken salad as it is sweet with an awesome kick. You can take it to go and just eat it with a spoon or make it into a wrap. They occasionally have kale empanadas that are just plain delicious (I’m not even a fan of kale.) Everything I’ve had from this place has been pretty good! Definitely a go to spot for something quickly & healthy!

Sitting here right now on a Friday afternoon having a turkey panini and mixed greens. Very good! Service was also very good and friendly

Friendly staff, tasty, fulfilling food and smoothies! Their energy balls are awesome!

The Cranberry Chicken Salad explodes with flavor. Great service and really welcoming environment. Love this place. Make Montclair a great city to live in

Upon research I didn’t have many expectation but the experience was pleasant. The quinoa bowl tasted amazing, along with the baby spinach salad. The staff are sweeties and easy to talk to. Great time.

Manhattan is more than a juice bar. They offer a variety of juiced drinks and protein shakes that come with fresh ingredients. They are always refreshing and delicious. You can also get you standard variety of coffees there. Now if you’re someone who needs their latte or cappuccino made with milk other than soy or cows milk, go to Manhattan. The make a fabulous almond milk cappuccino.
The good there ranges from pre-​made snacks for vegans and non vegans such a protein bars and chips, to homemade salads made to order, to their addictive peanut butter energy balls, to their oh so popular quinoa bowl. The food has a Mediterranean/​Turkish twist to it which you would NEVER know from the name. All of the food there is quiet delicious.
The only downside to going to Manhattan is the pace in which drinks/​food are prepared. SO SLOW. if you are in a rush be mindful you will be made to wait for you order. If you have a leisure time frame, you’re good to go! Prices are on the more expensive side, but comparable to other cafes in Montclair. Also family owned so it’s great to support a family business!

I have to update my review because this has become my go to place for health food AND they now make an off-​the-​chain quinoa bowl, I’m telling you it is sooooo good. It’s made fresh in a pan right in front of you and you can add chicken if you like. It’s also reasonably priced for such a good portion. Just delicious.
While I’m at it the protein balls and the empanadas are no joke either. My favorite juices are the Empire State and the #9. The Statue of Liberty smoothie is delicious too. Love this place!

Things to order: Red Light juice with ginger… it’s delicious! I’d also recommend ordering the thai chicken wrap if you want to order food.
Fresh ingredients, kind staff, ample space to sit and enjoy your food.
My only complaint is that the juices are quite pricey… after tax a small (16 oz) drink comes to $ 6 and change. Not sure if that will stop me from buying them, though.

Went based on Unilocal reviews and once again you guys didn’t steer me wrong! I came here after a barre class with one of my friends.
I was under the assumption that it would be a small juice joint but it’s quite the opposite! Plenty of room and areas to sit. Only real complaint was the stagnant air inside…
After mulling over the juice and smoothie menu, I finally decided on an orange cleanse. I also coupled that with a tuna avocado wrap. I wasn’t expecting much of the food, But it was so light and clean. I fell in love!
The juice is worth the price. This may become my post workout spot from now on! :)

This review is just based on the drinks. Came here with a friend late afternoon after a yoga class and we wanted something healthy. We ordered the Red Light drink (apples, beats, carrots and spinach) and it was very delicious! It was kind of pricey though but that’s expected for anything healthy right? It was $ 5.89+tax for a 16 oz but it was worth it! The staff is very nice and the guy let my friend add ginger to her drink with no extra charge :)
I would definitely come back. This area is very spacious and it’s a nice place to chill at — whether it be catching up with a friend or just getting some work done. Parking can be a pain for sure so just look around and walk over here :)

First off, let me say the food here was delicious. I was apprehensive at first to try the Thai Chicken wrap because I thought it’d be spicy– but it wasn’t !
So, in food, I had the Thai Chicken Salad Wrap which has peanut butter, soy marinated chicken breast, carrots, red onion, mayonnaise, mixed green, fresh cilantro along with the Orange Cleanse which contains carrots, apples, ginger, lemon, and an orange. It was bomb– or in better terms, amazing. I still think about it days later.
The space was ample size. Although small enough to fit enough chairs and lounge chairs for a café, I felt it could use more decoration. Other than the red mini-​staircase, maybe more red would flatter the design.
The service was nice! The two gentlemen that were working were helpful and attentive. I went with my girlfriend and they were suggestive, especially the cashier who hooked me up with a sample of their Lentil Soup of the day. Customers behind me seemed pleased with their orders, so this establishment definitely aims to please.
In all, you must try it. It’s on more of a quieter street in comparison to its other side, but it doesn’t disappoint. Food is fresh, service is nice, and parking is convenient as it’s next door. Only reason i didn’t give it a ⁵⁄₅ was because of it’s lack of atmospheric comfort. I will definitely come again! It’s definitely a 4.5!

This place is truly phenomenal. I came in on a whim wanting to get myself a nice, fresh juice. I ordered the orange cleanse and the hummus wrap. Both were outstanding. Homemade hummus, fresh vegetables and delicious wrap. It was served with a side salad that had a nice, sweet raspberry vinaigrette dressing. I got the orange cleanse juice to drink. The guy behind the counter made it right in front of me.
The employees here were awesome, kind, and quick to deliver orders. The atmosphere was clean and chill. The regulars in there kept talking about how they were addicted. Truthfully, I may now be addicted too!
Highly recommend this place! If you appreciate fresh, homemade food, fresh juices, organic food quality and good flavor come on by!
