Café Crush is a peaceful spot to enjoy some serious juices. I love their La Calienta! green juice and their back patio. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the interior is comfortable and colorful. Best of all, they take custom juice requests, in case you’re looking for a simpler mix than their delicious menu cocktails.(My partner got carrot-orange and it was also great!)

$ 10 for a medium iced coffee and a small chocolate chip cookie. Plus they do not count your change back.

Yes, yes and YES! I usually only get green drinks here and they are totally healing, immune system building and GREAT for the digestion. Have had coffee drinks here once or twice and those are good, but not stellar. Five stars for what they do with the fruits n veggies. None of the sugary crap or cheap juice in «chain smoothie» places– only actual fruits and veggies at a super high concentration. Mmmmmmm…

I LOVETHISPLACE. Only fruits and vegetables. No Jamba Juice like drinks served here… sorry. My go to is: SWEETIMMUNITY — Spinach, kale, celery, peaches, pears with just the right amount of added water and coconut palm sugar. Ahhhh, heaven. Equivalent to 4 servings of raw veggies and 2 servings of fruit. If only there was a Café Crush on every corner instead of a Starbucks, I wonder how much healthier we all would be…

Love this place! So many different variety juices to choose from. My new fave is the Blurly Vegan with hemp milk!

This place is legit when it comes to smoothies. Everything is really fresh and tasty. Drink is made to order and everything is natural. Workers are super friendly. The locations is very clean and has nice décor. Highly recommended for people looking for a quick health boost.

Not your typical juice or smoothie bar. If you are looking for a jamba juice, keep walking. This place is natural and fresh. It has a lot to choose from. Enough to leave me indecisive every time on what I am going to order. I usually just ask the person at the counter to make a decision for me cause I can never pin point what one to get. I was able to try the afternoon delight. Ok, maybe I just wanted to brag I had an afternoon delight… ;) but in all honesty, it was pretty good. You don’t taste much of the blueberry but the passion fruit comes out. I thought it was going to have more of a sugar taste but it tasted healthy leaving me less guilty I got the biggest size. I will be coming back for more when the weather gets warmer!

The sweet immunity is yummy! The drinks here are obviously fresh and healthy. It doesn’t sugary at all which is a good thing! Do your body a favor and grab a drink here :) The place is a bit small(like most places around the area) therefore it might be a good ifea to take your drink to go.

So, let’s be clear. This is NOT a juice bar. I went there hoping for a wonderful light refreshing juice, and because my mindset was that this was a juice bar, I expected juice. So when I took my first sip of the thick pulp of dankness(name of the smoothie), I was not happy. At all. After I got used the idea that I wasn’t getting a green juice today, I settled into the fact that I was getting much more fiber than I had intended and I do have to say that the flavors were amazing. If that combo was offered as a juice, I would be there often. I give it the stars because it really was a good flavorful blend. But man, if you are looking for a JUICEBAR, this is not the place for you.

Love the La Calienta. The greens don’t over power the juice and ginger. The patio in back is lovely!

Drinks are decent, nothing amazing. They’re too pricey for my wallet. I think I’ll stick to Jamba Juice for my smoothies.

Yummy drinks! The staff is very kind and willing to answer all of my questions so I can find the best drink for me. I like coming here whenever I’m in the area.

I’m a big fan of green juice! Café Crush is so convenient and accessible after my morning runs. Its great tasting and reasonably priced. I wish they had those«buy 10 smoothies get 1 free» stamp cards since I’m here so frequently!

Juice is good but it’s not organic. The biggest issue to me is the elitist attitude of the employees. So rude.

I guess I’m a person that drinks green juice now?(On occasion.) So yeah, I’m far from being an every-day-green-smoothie person, but my gym is right next door to this spot so it was difficult to avoid stumbling in here after one particularly sweaty session. So far I’ve tried the Sweet Immunity, Kale’in It and Insane in the Membrane, and they’re all great. They recommend the Sweet Immunity if you’re coming there for the first time, and I’d second that. I remember really enjoying the Kale’in It smoothie as well. Part of why I’m not really a veggie juice person is because typically, they sell for upwards of $ 9 or $ 10. I’m aware that these are smoothies that I’m drinking, not juices, but the price point is definitely better here than at most spots I’ve seen(especially in the city). $ 5 for 12 oz and $ 6 for 16 oz. I always feel amazing after coming here(especially after working out). Looking forward to trying the fruit smoothies soon!

I really wanted to like this place, but I was beyond disappointed. I got the Good Morning and what should have been a well-balanced drink of fruits and veggies tasted like sludge made of bitter swiss chard and absolutely no other flavors. It also grossed me out how it’s a smoothie(that’s my fault for assuming it would be more like pressed juice). It was so terrible I ended throwing my $ 5 drink directly into the compost.

Had a smoothie craving and got the«pink drank». It was quite tasty, and had a nice tartness rather than tasting like a bunch of added sugar. Cute little place! I will definitely be back!

I was a loyal EVERYDAY regular for over six months until one day I was served rotten kale in my green smoothie. I returned 3 mins later and they gave me a hard time about refunding me my money until I said out loud«PLEASETASTETHISYOURSELF!» The owner was at the register and refunded me my money spitefully. She wouldn’t taste it and did not apologize. In business when your inventory goes bad you throw it away and take a loss, you don’t mix it with other items and sell it to the next customer. After this I will never go back! Take your chances if you dare but management here lacks leadership skills, quality control and accountability.

I was really into this place for the convenience of grabbing a green juice(I was hooked on the Dankness) in the middle of my work days. I wish they were more organic but I was happy to have a local juice bar and I love the stamp card. Everyone who has taken my order until today has been friendly. I started a very specific food and supplement based gut-healing protocol almost two weeks ago which requires leaving certain foods out while I heal.(Its a low FODMAP diet in case you are dying to know.) I went in last week and searched the menu for a combo that didn’t have any fruits/veggies that I can’t have right now. I couldn’t find any. So asked if I could take the apple out of the dankness. The guy working said I could if I added something else in, like extra kale. Sure no problem. Got the green juice… sure it tasted greener than normal without the sweetness of apple, but I was on board with however my menu tweak changed the flavor and happy they could still make it. I was fine paying a bit more for the«extra» kale. Props to whoever you were who served me last week, you rock!!! Fast forward to today. I’m fighting a cold and a green juice sounds like a good nutritional boost for my system. I walk in, search the menu again… just to *make sure* there isn’t a combo that has all fruits and veggies that I can have. Nope. So I ask to have the Dankness without the apple again. «No, I’m sorry we are forbidden from changing the recipe.» says the cashier with long blonde hair. I reply, «but they made it for me last week with extra kale instead. I can’t have apples or apple juice.» «I’m sorry but we can’t change the menu.» «Then I’m sorry but I can’t order.» «Ok» she replies. I put the menu back and walk out. I am seriously annoyed and frustrated… and confounded. Why would they want to lose business and NOT accommodate people with food restrictions? I didn’t ask for no apple just to be a pain in the ass. I asked for it because I am following a specific gut healing diet. Does this place seriously just want to dig themselves into the ground from lack of business? They could have had my money, in fact the cost of the green juice PLUS the cost of adding extra kale. Instead, they lost business and now I have a crinkle in my brow when I think of what went down today. Where is the logic in their policy? I wouldn’t blame them for a recipe tasting«imperfect» due to me replacing an ingredient. But I do blame them for terrible customer service and a ridiculously rigid no substitution policy. Bummer.

I love it here. They’re open at 07:00 so it’s super convenient for those going to work early. They menus are seasonal and they offer different variations of smoothies. Free parking outside the café but there’s not a lot of it so I would come at a less busier time. I drove here from Emeryville just to try them out and also because they were the only juicers open so early. From Emeryville or anywhere outside of Oakland is a very inconvenient drive to this café. Regardless, I still enjoyed my green smoothie!
