Bien Papayas - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

This place is great! The empanadas are made from scratch !! Bien Papayas was such a great find. The place has a cool, relaxed vibe and the food is fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. I ordered the empanadas and a smoothie, and both were amazing. The empanadas were big, hot, and packed with filling -- super crisp on the outside and full of flavor inside. The smoothie was refreshing, not too sweet, and made with really fresh ingredients. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the team made great recommendations. It's the kind of spot that feels both local and modern at the same time. Perfect for a quick, delicious meal or a refreshing break during the day. If you're looking for something tasty and a little different from the usual tourist options, Bien Papayas is absolutely worth the visit. I'd definitely come back! read more

Charming little shop right across from the historic Castillo San Felipe in Old San Juan. I ordered the passion fruit smoothie--it was on the smaller side but still refreshing. The decor is delightfully quirky, adding to the cozy, laid-back atmosphere. Given the shop's size, the bathroom was understandably compact, and seating was quite limited--we sat near the door, which gave us a nice street view. This spot is a great stop if you're heading into Old San Juan for a walking tour and need a quick, cool refreshment. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the açaí bowls looked appetizing. While the prices were a bit steep for two drinks, the overall vibe made it a pleasant experience. Would recommend if you're looking for a brief, relaxing break from the heat! read more

The smoothie was delicious and they were super kind and helpful with my order. They were able to make several modifications for my allergies which was wonderful! The style was fun and eclectic and I would totally want to come and sit here with a drink on the regular if I lived her. Highly recommend! read more

This spot is right across from Castillo San Cristobal and a welcome spot to refresh after a hot trek in the fort. There is limited seating - maybe 3 tables and a little sofa. It wouldn't be a great place to go with a large group of people. My daughter and I shared a table with a couple of people that looked like they needed to rest their feet. We ordered an açaí bowl, which was very refreshing and delicious. It did take a long time for it to be ready. There were many options for toppings and drizzles. It was a little on the pricey side, but most things are in this area. read more

We came back to BP after falling in love with this place last year on a Moro trek. This place is family-run with a genuine chispe for clients. If you enter here, you will leave satisfied! The morning meals delivered (bowls, crepes, coffees y jugos frescos!!). We will be back!! Mil gracias!! read more

Literally so good. They gave us extra stuff and the owner came around asking how our stuff was. My coffee was so good too. It's a small little place but pretty cute! read more

One of the cutest and nicest spots to grab breakfast in Old San Juan. The service was amazing, all the woman who run the shop are so friendly and welcoming. The smoothies are out of this world and so is the French toast! The little shop itself feels very homey and the art and decor are culturally appealing and beautiful. Highly recommend dropping in if you have the time, well worth your while. read more

Such a lively little cafe! I loved the artwork and the music playing made me want to dance! Had the La Resistencia smoothie and the Nutella waffle. Super nice women running the cafe. Great place to be if you want to immerse yourself in the Puerto Rican culture. read more

Smoothie was great and the customer service was amazing. The woman working the register was the sweetest ever

Loved this place! Stopped in after our visit to Castillo San Cristobal. Got a Don Fela and a strawberry mango. Staff was helpful when I didn't understand what to substitute when they were out of banana. A little pricey but worth the convenient refresher on our way to Castillo San Felipe de Morro. 10/10 would visit again. read more

Literally the definition of "your favorite street corner smoothie shop" here. Bien Papayas was two short blocks from the AirBnB I was staying at with my sister and her family. They offer a spacious, colorful interior with some tables, music, merch (!!) and vibes! Throughout the week as we were there, someone was painting a wall with (you guessed it) papayas! A beautiful artistic display. I wonder if it's complete now? Anywho, they have quite a few delightful flavors of smoothie, and while the specific names slip my mind, I had some cool ones such as one with nutella and banana, and another with strawberry and oats! Food itself is also an option -- you can get a waffle or bagel with an array of additions such as guava and peanut butter (DELICIOUS combination), which was awesome! Word of advice -- if you go for the bagel, you will still be hungry. The waffle cost the exact same thing, and I admit it was quite filling. If you're not hungry, they have jewelry and art for sale! There were some beautiful prints to choose from, and so many lovely gifts you can get for friends, family and significant others! Another thing I loved is that the staff were more than willing to have conversation with any customers. Oh, I think I saw some beer on some shelves too... All in all, great smoothie shop. Stop by if you're near! read more

After first visting Castillo San Felipe del Morro and then walking over in the heat to Castillo de San Cristóbal to visit, we knew we needed a little refreshment before touring the second fort. Right across the street from the fort is this little gem with amazing service. They have all kinds of beverages - custom coffees, smoothies, beers and alcohol. All reasonably priced and really hit the spot! I loved my lemonade with fresh ginger added! read more

I have never written a review for somewhere in my life but I felt like I had to with this one. I went in with a coconut I had bought from another vendor. I threw it out in the trashcan while my boyfriend was ordering and what seems to be the owner yelled at me and was extremely rude because the coconut was "heavy". We then paid $16 the smallest smoothie I have ever seen. I hate to be this person but I regret giving them $16. read more

A great spot to stop in for a refreshing drink in Old San Juan. After days of eating heavy yet delicious food, I was ready for something light and fresh. The staff was super friendly and had some great recommendations. Plenty of great smoothie options on the menu and all of them are customizable. Smoothies are served in adorable little bags giving an almost Capri sun vibe. Definitely deserves a visit if you're on town read more

We really really liked this place! This is a small corner cafe right near the historical fort in Old San Juan and is one of the only not tourist trappy places in Old San Juan. Service is friendly and warm, smoothies are delicious and fresh, and food is hearty and nutritious. I had the San Geronimo wrap off the brunch menu. I loved the honey mustard flavor and overall the balance of flavors was very nice. The chicken was a tad on the dry side but it didn't impact the overall wrap's texture too much. The chips that it came with were pringles, which is fine. The Dona Fela smoothie was also soooo good. Also loved the lemonades, especially the ginger one which was nice and spicy and really clears the sinuses. My lunch buddy had the omelette, which was decent. They do play music quite loud in the cafe, which makes having a conversation a bit difficult. I also wouldn't come here in a rush because they are quite popular and food can take a while to come out. Even so, I really liked this place and would definitely come back, especially because the people are so nice. They also take COVID precautions very seriously. read more

Mozzarella & guava grilled cheese on sweet bread. Need I say more?

Honestly the espresso was like Starbucks quality and the smoothies were subpar. It was quite costly for the quality. Besides this, they forgot about one of our members of our group and never served them. The people were friendly though, I'll give them that. read more

Very good service and great way to fuel up before a day of sightseeing in Old San Juan.

Based on the reviews, I thought the juices were made fresh. That's not the case. I can see the juices being poured from Goya containers. Although the food was good, so I'll give 4 stars read more
