Founder Neka Pasquale uses her background as a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and certified Chinese nutritionist to create a variety of good-for-you raw and cold-pressed juices and tinctures. Her stores can also be found across the Bay Area, including Mill Valley and Napa.

This Chinatown juice shop is one of the area’s best-kept secrets, a single-fruit juice bar that serves big cups of guava, strawberry, star fruit, and many more for prices as low as $4. There’s also a great roster of smoothies and whole-fruit blends. Juicy Fruit doesn’t have much of an online presence, so calling ahead is a good idea if you have a specific order in mind.

This cafe mini-chain (there’s also a location at 1030 Hyde Street) is all vegan, all the time. Check them out for a selection of tasty juices and smoothies, like the strikingly Instagrammable Dragonfly, made with pitaya, pineapple, banana, date,s and coconut milk. Juices run towards the standard combos like orange, carrot, and ginger, but are always fresh.

Palmetto’s a partnership between a SF native sneaker shop owner and a Brazilian sister-and-sister team of restauranteurs, all dedicated to promoting “pure Brazilian açaí,” which they promise is light-years away from the açaí found elsewhere. The shop’s loyal fans agree, waiting in lines down Clement Street for Palmetto’s bowls and smoothies like the açaí cold brew, a concoction of acai, oat milk, coffee, banana, and blue agave. If that doesn’t get you going, nothing will.

This California chain has multiple locations across SF, and each spot uses certified organic ingredients and produce from local farms to squeeze cold-pressed juices, smoothies, elixirs, cleanses, and nut milks. There are bottled juices available for grab-and-go purchase, and other juice blends can be ordered on the spot (the Marina Greens, a mix of coconut water, orange juice, kale, spinach, and avocado, is a favorite). There’s also a panoply of smoothies, which can be ordered on the spot or in “packs” to prepare at home.

Since 2006, Sidewalk Juice has served over 100 varieties of made-to-order juices, smoothies, kombucha juice blends, wheatgrass shots, and ginger shots from multiple locations across the Bay Area. Try the Green Energy Juice made with spinach, parsley, kale, celery, cucumber, apple, lemon, and ginger, or the Berries Valencia Smoothie using blueberries, strawberries, banana, orange juice, marion berry sorbet, and ice.

This cute Brazilian juice shop is an excellent detour on the way to a warm afternoon in Dolores. It's got acai bowls, smoothies, and juices galore, including tropical options like mango and passionfruit. For non-liquid dieters there are also sandwiches and empanadas on hand.

This Mission District vegan spot is all about wellness, with a focus on tonics and elixirs. That doesn’t mean its menu is purely medicinal, however, as there are loads of delicious fresh juices to try, like their “golden shield” (grapefruit, orange, ginger, and turmeric). All their smoothies — and there are many — are offered with a long list of add-ons including ashwagandha, vegan omegas, and maca.

This Parkside cafe and market boasts some of the west side’s best smoothies, all of which are available with an optional shot of CBD. The Green Goddess is a top pick, with a fatty blend of avocado, almonds, vanilla, and agave that’s just sweet enough.

This West Portal juice bar is a favorite with folks who prefer a single source juice — 12 ounces of pure orange, apple, celery, or carrot will run you an affordable $5. There are also the standard pressed blends, and a smoothie lineup that includes items like the super-sweet “purple reign,” which is a blend of banana, blueberry, strawberry, peanut butter, maple syrup and almond milk.
