Juice Crafters

Cute place. Green juice was good although I couldn’t taste ginger. Kiddos strawberry banana tasted like ice. My smoothie also fell flat on flavor. Like ice again. Friendly employees but disappointed in the smoothies especially at that price. I’ll have to go home and Doctor them up so they taste good.
Saw an employee walk in with a hot dog from ⁷⁄₁₁. No judgement. Just funny

Every week I go down and get a protein acai bowl definitely the best acai bowl in town! You pay a little more than other places but it’s completely worth it. Staff is always extremely friendly and fast!

great place! family owned-​super sweet. always perfectly satisfied with great flavor and wonderful health benefits hehe :)
I would come here more if it was in a different location!

Best smoothies in Hillcrest I’ve been too ! I like how they always have a new menu every time I go so it’s not always the same!

First time here! It’s a cute place right as you enter Hillcrest from the 163 freeway. First time customers get 10%. The ladies were very sweet and took the time to explain the menu and the top choice of smoothies/​juices. Everything is organic and the ingredients used in their menu are amazing (walnuts, gogi berries, cocoa nibs, etc). Love it! I gave them 4 stars because parking could become a real stress and there was no seating area. The store is cute, I would have like to eat my food there. It’s pretty pricey but worth it!

I really like this place and the employees are super helpful. I wish that they would add tips on credit cards because I always have nothing but dust in my wallet. They are super eligible and you can make substitutions easily. This place is super high-​quality and you pay for the quality. I’m addicted to the aloe vera juice in addition to the yummy smoothies.

This place is awesome! I got my wife and is smoothies for breakfast and they were amazing. I had the Venice cove and she had the Frankenstein and both were super fresh and tasty. Service was good and the place looks awesome.

Juice Crafters just sounds like the right choice to be healthy. And I’ll give it to them, they blend up some good tasting juices. JC’s has a wide variety of juices to choose from for just about anyone’s taste buds and a cup size to match it. Service is professional and the place is kept very clean and trendy, if I do say so myself. Prices are slightly high but it wouldn’t be American if the healthier options didn’t cost more. There’s little I have to knock on this place other than it’s more of a current mood or strict lifestyle to make me want to continually come back rather than blend up my own juice. Overall, Juice Crafters is a great juice bar and I’d suggest to anyone who enjoys the same to check it out!

I came in here expecting to get a smoothie but when I was directed to the menu I was very confused and order the juice when I left I was drinking my juice and I just didn’t really taste very good it just taste like water with crushed beets & cucumber. There was nothing delicious in the veggies. I only buy organic produce and I usually make my own juice and smoothies guess for 8.00 I learned the hard way. Don’t be lazy make your own smoothie or maybe. you juicers should not refer to juice as a meal replacement … It’s refreshing at least… But not worth 8.00

Wowza! Me and my mom spent the day at balboa park sightseeing on this hot summer day and I was craving an organic smoothie to hold me over for a little bit so I decided to stop by. The ladies inside were quick to greet me and very helpful with explaining the different types of drinks. I sampled the XTREME (I would highly reccomend it) I was leery because it had cantaloupe (YUCK) but it was creepy and sweet, with no trace of the evil melon. I ordered the Pacific love, being one of the most popular choices. It has a mild flavor with hints of nuts (almond butter) and I love the little chunks of dates that are blended inside for a little chewy texture added. Overall I had a really great expierence here and I would more than love to come back.

I really had high hopes for this spot with all their goodies n stuff, but I instantly felt like I came down with a flu as soon as I finished my smoothie. I have had an upset stomach for several days now and it’s not getting better. My guess is rancid spirulina but I’m not a doctor.
Really hope it goes away because this is the 1 weekend a year I am off work so… ya.
): !!!

We came here after the RNR San Diego 5K for some fresh fruit goodness. I admit, I was taken aback a bit at the price of the acai bowls ($ 9.99), but they are HUGE! I enjoyed my big bowl of deliciousness and felt refreshed.
Seems to be mostly a takeaway spot… only a handful of seats along the window.

The place has a good concept, but I was confused walking in on how to order. I ended up picking a juice from the case that was appealing, but I usually like to look at nutritional facts on the label, which this juice was lacking. Either that or I was just really not observant. And for that small bottle, it was almost $ 7, which is very pricey imo.
The juice itself was very delicious! I absolutely loved it, I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. I have yet to try one of their juices that you order, but I’m anticipating it will be expensive as well. Anyways, try the place out, but don’t forget a few extra bucks.

I stumbled across this little gem of a juice place in Hillcrest last weekend (at the Taste of Hillcrest). The owner (?) was such a cool guy and he was handing out fresh juice lemon, ginger, and cayenne shots in REAL shot glasses to patrons. I was so enamored by this tart spicy shot that I came back after the Taste of Hillcrest to buy a greenie drink to share with a friend.
The workers there are great. They would give us samples of whatever was left in the blender from a previous order.
We sampled :
1. Pacific love
— raw cacao nibs, banana, almond butter, maca, dates, coconut butter, almond milk, bee pollen, and royal jelly
You must try this smoothie — it’s so wonderful unique that’s it’s almost hard to describe. You will definitely taste the nibs in this smoothie
2. Crunch monkey
— cacao nibs, cacao powder, goji berries, walnuts, almond milk, banana and dates
Again, such a unique smoothie. The nibs and dates are pretty prevalent.
We ordered:
Green Guru #4
— cucumber, celery, romaine, lemon, ginger & cayenne
Low carbers rejoice ! I think it was $ 7.20 for the largest size. I enjoyed this Powerhouse Juice option and it made me feel healthy after a 4 hour binge fest at the Taste of Hillcrest
This really is a cute location and I’d come back in a heartbeat if I was in the area again.

All greens are organic and everything is made fresh…
Healthy + Fresh + Hillcrest + great staff = what’s not to like ?
I got the muscle builder and my friend got the fountain of youth… we are feeling like two badass babes now

Who needs coffee when you can start the day with an amazing invigorating, organic, healthy conscious drink packed with vitamins and minerals.
My favorite is the Muscle Builder but it sometimes leaves your teeth full of little black seeds, which I think is hella sexy but not many other people agree. Pretty much any of their smoothies are
so you can’t go wrong.

I love the whole set up at this place. It’s so cute. Looks like a little vintage juice stand.
I didn’t order anything but my friend has been a gym freak lately and wanted to try their juices. He was eyeing it from fig tree where we had brunch.
I did try their sample of this green juice thingy. It was actually really good.
They started to get busy… So I’m sure they’re juices are popular.

Some of these smoothies can get pretty pricey. I understand how smoothies with fresh ingredients can be more worth it, but there’s a lot of competitors in the area, so this wouldn’t be my top go-​to choice. However, they did give us a 10% off discount, since it was our first time. Along with a 15% off our next visit coupon & a stamp card.
The smoothies themselves were very good & satisfying.

Not baaaad. I got a green juice #3. Maybe a tad more apple wouldve done the trick!
Next time will try one with beets.

I am very happy this company has made it down form L.A. into San Diego, and I was happy to visit their third store here in Hillcrest. I stopped in knowing I wanted some sort of smoothie and after mulling it over a bit, and with helpful tips from the sweet young lady who was working the store upon opening, I decided on the 16 oz «Talk of the Town» smoothie for $ 7.99.
The smoothie was quite good, and came made with almond milk, banana, coconut butter, cacao, dates, and raw cacao nibs all blended to a smooth meal replacement concoctions (
). What I really liked about this smoothie, in addition to its great flavor, was the smooth but noticeable texture of the nibs and dates. I like me smoothies to have a depth in flavor but also in texture (
). The smoothie was filling and a great way to start the morning.
Like I said early, service was great, and I wish I knew the young lady who helped me so I could give her a proper shout out, but my visit was on Sunday morning right when they opened on 12÷21÷14. The only thing I wish this place had was some inside seating, but I am not sure the size of the place could accommodate it.
I wonder if they would let me bring in my own lawn chair?
