Jucivana Smoothies & Coffee

I walked here from the UW medical centre and stopped in for an iced chai. It was very good and the owner was so sweet and we had a lovely conversation. There is outdoor seating and a drive through. So if you are near here I highly suggest stopping by for a nice chat and a refreshing drink.

If a healthy smoothie is your objective, it doesn’t get better than this! All fresh ingredients, no concentrates or purée. Love that it’s a drive through. On the pricier side (mine was $ 10 and some change) but if you’re subbing it for a meal, worth it. I got the avocado kale smoothie with almond milk and flax seed. Feeling energetic!

I want to like this place, I really really do but every time I go I’m disappointed with the smoothie and shocked at the price. Today was the third time I visited and I got a Strawberry Banana smoothie and it tasted like icy strawberry water. And to pay $ 6 for a 16 oz pink water is crazy! I could make a better smoothie at home.

Quick and easy. My girlfriend and I were staying at the apartments across the street from the place and it was a quick and easy way to get a coffee. They another guy on the staff because one guy isn’t enough to man a busy morning, in my opinion. Other than that, simple and to the point.

This place is fantastic!!!
The juices are absolutely delicious. The coffee drinks are great too.
I just recently discovered this place but the man working there is so warm and genuine as well as proud of his business.
They have a call ahead service which I will start taking advantage of as well as a punch card that beats Starbucks rewards.
Support small businesses! We need to make sure gems like these stay around long term!

The service was great. He took the time to explain the different ingredients and benefits. Ended up trying the Tropical Breeze and Heart Beet and they were yummy!

I give 4 stars because they were supposed to open at 7am. It wasn’t. The guy came at about 7:08. So that was a little annoying. But, Very pleasant man. Made my juice quickly and was very nice. And the juice is juice, good juice. Also I great price for the juice! Many places are overpriced. This isn’t.

I moved across the street from this place last week. So far I’ve been there 3 times! It’s amazing. The juices were so refreshing and reasonably priced. Also, the service was absolutely great! Sanjay is awesome, so engaging while you wait. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

A small drive-​through juice shake — sort of like the espresso stands around time. Stiff prices for simple ingredients and juices that lack creativity — mine was just beet, carrot, apple. Tasted mostly like beet juice, which was fine and healthy… just nothing spectacular. Fast service though, so great if you’re in a rush and need something quick. I did think the few benches outside were cute and colorful. In case this matters, they don’t take AMEX.

Really friendly owner and a convenient spot to grab a cup of joe.
Their coffee is decent but the shop has a good vibe. The family that works there is really nice and runs the shop pretty well.
Coffee drinks aren’t their strong suit however, you go here mostly for the smoothies which are delicious.

I love this place. The owner is always so friendly to us and accommodating. Plus the juices we get are always delicious and not too expensive. Definitively one of my favorite places to get fresh juice!

Prices are steep but well worth it. The check in offer allowed me to try one of their juices and I was quite delighted. I got some sort of green drink and it was tasty! All their ingredients are fresh and wholesome. The staff is very friendly and the owner is very nice! I’ve been through their drive thru as well as their walk up window. I always get the chocolate peanut butter and it has real peanuts in it. Ask for their stamp card — buy 10 get one FREE!

Most expensive 12oz americano. Charged the full .89 cent upcharge for a splash of almond milk. She added too much and it made it cold. Boo! Not coming back.

This place is wonderful! We got a free juice for checking in (the heart beat, has beets Apple and carrot and I even tried a few sips of my boyfriends tho I don’t like beets!). I got the sunny side up, which has orange, mango, and pineapple and my bf got the tropical breeze with pineapple, banana and spinach. Plus the guy who helped us was super nice

Jucivana is a corner shop right outside of the ID that looks a little ratchet, and the neighborhood that it is in makes me wonder if I’m going to get shot.
I first pull up in my car knowing that the smoothie shop is a drive-​thru. And behold some guy that was NOT in a car is ordering in front of me — talk about ghetto and ratchet haha.
Once the guy leaves, I pull up and am greeted by a nice middle-​aged man that I assume is the owner — looks either Indian or Filipino, but I’m probably wrong on both counts.
He hands me the menu, and I go through the different choices. I remember from other Unilocal reviews that some people liked the one with the kale, which I thought was very Pacific Northwest of them. However, because I was getting over a cold, I opted for the antioxidant blend, which is a mix of different berries (blueberries, raspberries, cherries, etc) and had a yogurt base. The owner only took 2 minutes to make my drink on the spot, which I thought was pretty impressive.
The smoothie was good: very flavorful, it actually tasted like fruit (haha), and I liked the yogurt base. Honestly, though, I can’t really tell bad smoothies from good ones, and Jamba Juice tastes just as good. The place here is a little bit on the expensive side (a little over $ 7 for a 24 ounce smoothie), but I got a gift card from a co-​worker. However, I’m not sure if I would come here that often for my smoothie fix unless it innovated the smoothies to the point that other juice joints could not imitate.

Great service and this is more of a smoothie place than a coffee place. It’s also nice that it’s a drive-​thru if you don’t want to get out of your car.
I am purely rating 3 stars off because of the drink we had. The hangover one – with kale, ginger, etc. It was mainly icy and has little flavor. I taste mainly the ice, cucumber, and hints of ginger. Not so much of a smoothie.

I got the blandest most disappointing smoothie from this place I have ever had today, for nearly $ 3 more than the amazing ones I get at Cocobanana. Not my style.

Friendly worker but bad smoothies.
Huge ice chunks in the banana, avocado an kale smoothie.
I told him I didn’t like the chunks and he said it would melt away.
Not going back anytime soon.

Yummy!
I knew I should have tried jucivana earlier! I happened to come at a time where the owner was in and he was really friendly and nice. I was hesitant to try their strawberry, banana, kale and spinach smoothie but it turns out it’s one of their most popular. The thing I was worried about was that it would taste too much like veg.
You can also call in your order, that way you don’t have to wait if they have a line. They also have a stamp card system where the 10^th smoothie is on the house.
Overall I was really pleased with my experience and drink, the price isn’t bad compared to what you sometimes have to pay for a fresh smoothie. I was told the reason he opened was because the area lacked a fresh juice place and I’m glad he took it into his hands to bring us these goodies!

I absolutely love this little smoothie stand. It’s got a drive thru so you don’t even need to get out of your car! Yes im lazy i know…
I’m normally a Jamba Juice fan but the only one ive been able to find is all the way up in the university village. Jucivana is convenient for me because it is close to work and the rock gym. The smoothies are delicious! And the perfect way to remedy my thirst and tired body after a good climb at the gym.
I’ve seen the owner a few times and he’s super friendly and courteous. Cindy’s been great too, i feel like she’s here all the time, but that’s probably cuz i always come around the same time.
Ask for the stamp card. You get a free 12oz smoothie after about 10 drinks. The prices are fair as well, though it does seem a little pricier than jamba. Highly recommend trying the different boosts and flavors. My fav is the strawberry banana pineapple smoothie
