Zumo Juice Bar

I always liked this juice bar and would regularly grab a smoothie, But after today I will never ever go to this establishment again.
My smoothie was not well blended so I took it back to complain and ask for a new one. The worker stared at me like I was from another planet. She finally took my smoothie poured it back into the blender even though I had drank a quarter of it. Added some yogurt and ice re-​blended it & Used the same blender for the next smoothie. I told her I was shocked that she did that but she ignored me and kept making the next smoothie. Good thing I am Ebola free.
I will find a more hygienic smoothie bar. If she did that in front of everyone, imagine what this pig does away from our eyes. Gross!

I am not a huge fan of juices, I much prefer to eat the fruit instead of sucking all the goodness out of it, but sometimes when I have had too much coffee and it is too cold for a slush puppy I will head to a juice bar and Zumo Juice Bar in St Stephens Green Shopping Centre is a good choice.
The staff are super friendly and they are super speedy so even when there is a queue, and there usually is, the staff get through the orders most rapidly. The fruit here is always fresh and the place is very clean and tidy. The menu is creative and the staff will tailor any drinks on the menu to your specific taste.
Although I do find juices expensive in general, Zumo Juice is on par price wise with other juice bars so I guess the prices are standard. Overall a good choice for juice fans.

Zumo is a smoothie bar at the back end (Dunnes side) of the St Stephens shopping center. The smoothies are always really fresh and are prepared quickly. The staff have always been friendly as well.
I have not seen that many smoothie bars in the central Dublin area. Sometimes I get a craving and this is really the only place I know where I can get my fix. It is nice to have some healthier options. The cost is a little on the high side, but it seems anything on the healthier side always is.

This is the one Zumo branch you don’t want to go to. I’ve tried it a few times (but mostly go to the one in the Jervis centre… much better) but I never could finish even half the cup. They don’t clean the blenders often or well enough and everything just tastes like orange. Every drink I got from there tasted only of orange and never of the fruits I’d chosen!

It was 13:00 and I was peckish, but it was going to be another 30 mins before I would be able to get my lunchtime wrap. So I stopped of here for a Strawberry Energy smoothie.
It’s the only smoothie I go for and I recommend it. I have tried others from the Zumo menu in the past, but I always return to the Strawberry Energy.
Today the staff were friendly and smiley too, which was nice.
So I skipped off back to the office with my tasty snack drink type thing.

Zumo is hangover cure in a plastic glass. The «flu-​buster» is particularly curative — fresh orange juice (with the bits, very important), with lime, apple and zesty ginger. It’s lip-​curlingly bitter, but that’s what I love about it — zaps all the toxins away.
The smoothies are good too; the thickness makes it seem like you’re getting more for your money.
At about € 4 a go though, they’re certainly not cheap — I have to be feeling pretty under the weather to justify a Zumo treat.

Zumo is a smoothie/​juice bar located on the ground floor of ST Stephens Green Shopping Centre at the top of Grafton St.
It first opened in Ireland about 4 or 5 years ago and was instantly popular. It serves a combination of juices and smoothies — all natural ingredients mixed with frozen yogurt to give it that creamy smooth taste.
I love picking one up when I’m in town — it’s a quick, good healthy snack. It contributes towards your five a day, uses low fat frozen yogurt and is quite reasonable. A smoothie will set you back about € 4 and a juice is about € 3. They’ve also introduced kids sizes too, which I think is a great idea

I really like the idea of smoothies, although walking around town with one in your hand does make you look rather the knob. Still, they are very tasty and much healthier than any other snack that you’re likely to pick up on the go.
Zumo is the market leader in Ireland’s nascent smoothie industry, and if you picked up a franchise in the early days, you would have made an absolute killing. The stands are tiny so they’d have eff all overheads, and your only inputs are a load of fruit bought at wholesale prices.
I have two little issues with Zumo. First of all, most of the smoothies on the menu contain banana as one of the central ingredients. I imagine that this is primarily for the purposes of viscosity, as most fruits are quite watery in nature, and the banana is required to give the smoothie its pleasant thickness. Personally, I am very fond of bananas and usually eat one every day, but I find that the addition of a banana to a smoothie gives the drink an overpowering banana flavour, which renders the majority of Zumo’s menu out of bounds for me. More smoothies with yogurt substituted for banana, please.
And this adding a shot of wheatgrass lark? Don’t be taken in by the woo-​meisters unsupported claims as to the magic medicinal properties of wheatgrass, it is essentially exactly as nutritious as any other green vegtable (marginally less, as a matter of fact).
And another thing, € 4 for what is essentially a few bits of fruit? You’re having a bleedin’ laugh, mate.

Goodness me, but hasn’t the rise of the smoothie culture in Ireland been nothing less than astronomical? This burgeoning industry has seriously taken off here like nobody’s business, and Zumo is leading the way. Their smoothies really are good (though it has to be said, around a year ago, they made their cups smaller but the prices remained the same, which was a bit cheeky really), and their juices are yummy too.
Whatever kind of smoothie you’re in to (mango, berry, banana, vanilla…) they’ve got it… and what’s even better, you can personalise what you want, if you think you’re smarter than the creators (or have really weird taste).
Perfect location for a quick pick-​me-​up, stop off and have a healthy (ish) pit stop!

I usually go to the Perc Up Café when I’m shopping in Stephens Green, but once when I was trying to eat a bit healthier I decided to get a smoothie from this juice bar and now I go here whenever I want something a bit healthier than coffee and cake. They do a huge range of juice, smoothies and energy drinks, although I nearly always end up getting their Mango Tango smoothie which is delicious.
The staff obviously know the menu well as they are always quick and efficient at getting the drinks ready, even when I’ve been ordering 5 or more drinks! Their juices range from plain fresh squeezed oranges to more exotive mixtures with pineapples. Definitely something for any fruit fan here and definitely worth paying a bit more than you would for coffee as they fill you up for ages!
