My first review was removed, which says a lot more than I could. When I walked in, the employees seemed indifferent at best. I tried the sample of coffee they had on the counter - it was barely warm and not good. I'm glad they had the carb count prominently displayed - if you like carbs, this place is for you. I tried to choose the lowest, but it was still impossibly sweet. I could barely drink half before throwing the rest away. Yuck. Next time I'll go for a McD shake and sprinkle in some mudwatr and a vitamin capsule for " health. " read more

A great açaí bowl, the traditional berry with the protein toppings are a perfect blend of sweet and savory. I loved the cashews and cocoa nibs, excellent crunch with the granola. A definite visit when I am in the area again. read more

Not one of the three employees acknowledged there were three customers waiting to order for a ridiculously long time. They were working on online orders and one could have said they would be with us soon or something but we got side-eye and silence. We all left. Terrible customer service. there are bistro tables in a nice wide walkway you can sit and let your puppers know how that $15 smoothie was. read more

I got the Sunshine Immunity smoothie and really enjoyed it! The taste was very bright, zesty, and refreshing. I really appreciated that both the pineapple and the passion fruit flavors were coming through because in my experience a lot of smoothies with multiple fruits usually just have one prominent fruit flavor shine through while the rest kinda just hum in the background. The ginger added a nice zing to it that wasn't overpowering, just enough to make the smoothie that much more refreshing. I will say that the ginger burn got more intense later in the day as the smoothie melted (guilty of being a drink sipper that can make a smoothie last all day). I really enjoyed the texture of the blend, it wasn't icy or too thin or too thick. Especially since it was a hot day, this smoothie was hittingg. I will say tho that at $10, this smoothie better have got my immune system covered til the end of this year read more

I'd just come from a grueling lifting session and needed something restorative and energizing before Soul Cycle. It was suggested that I get the Sunset Beach, which was just what I needed. I thought it might be a bit tangy, but the fruits paired perfectly with the (in house made) almond mylk. I added chia seeds to give me some good protein and omega 3s. I'm definitely a super fan of the sunset beach super smoothie!!! read more

Really quick service and super nice and friendly staff who greet you. Drinks are pretty consistent as well

Great açaí bowls. You're able to add or omit ingredients easily and the granola is gluten free. They have vegan collagen and different plant protein options to add to their smoothies and bowls as well as a whole slew of other things you can add. I also saw they have gluten free protein donuts in the grab and go area I met the store manager this morning and he's a very sweet guy. The store is located in a beautiful shopping center with many awesome shops surrounding it. Definitely will be coming back in the future. read more

This place is as yoga of a restaurant as you can get. Lots of people coming here post-yoga sesh. There's even a laughably inspirational quote on the wall. Part of it literally says "do yoga". Acai bowls are alright. Pretty typical. My complaints are: 1) Bowls are very impractical since acai bowls are bursting from the plastic. How are you supposed to dip your spoon without spilling everywhere? 2) I wish they had less sour options. Most places do. My bowl was a bit too tart. 3) I wish the girl at the cash register hadn't given me this "ugh do you even yoga" look when I asked what the sweeter options were. I think I'm not yoga enough for this place. read more

You can order online or in person - took about 10 minutes. I've been here a couple times and usually get the acai superberry with the classic topping. Compared to Palm Acai on College, it's a bit more expensive and I feel like their base is not as thick/creamy. You also cannot substitute any toppings here. Overall, it's your average acai place but it probably isn't the best. I would prefer Palm Acai over Project Juice because it's cheaper and tastes better. read more

Minus the hefty price of at least $11 per acai bowl (but what other establishment is less nowadays LOL), I'm glad Project Juice is now available in Berkeley for my acai bowl needs & cravings :) My boyfriend and I order through Caviar and our orders have been made quickly and correctly each time ! I love getting the green & acai bowl ! The pitaya (dragonfruit) bowl isn't bad either, but I like how the green and acai tastes a bit more :) I tend to get the "Protein" option when it comes to bowls because I like that it includes granola as a topping! The honey that they drizzle on top is DELICIOUS. I love all the toppings that are included in all their bowls (hemp seeds, bee pollen, cacao bits, etc) ! Gives the bowl an extra yummy crunch with every bite. If you're visiting this place in the Fall, definitely check out the pumpkin toast on the menu ! I have yet to try this delicious sounding and looking toast, but I'll try to get it next time I'm in ! Project Juice is located on the popular 4th St. in Berkeley ! An easy place to pop in if you're perusing around in the area ! Street parking is available all around. Keep an eye open for parking lots a couple of streets over for customers ! They do have a loyalty program so ask or look for the card when you pay!! Check out their sign on the side that informs you about their weekly $25 giveaway to whoever posts a nice picture on Instagram with their hashtag ! I also have to mention their bright and fun decor inside the store. The pops of color go well with their colorful juices and bowls ! My go-to acai/green bowl place on this side of the Bay ! read more

Unfortunately, our first order from the new earthbar, previously project juice, really missed the mark. the açaí bowls used to be really, really good. standout, from the juicy fruity base, to the unique and high quality toppings. Unfortunately the bowl we got today was more of a room temperature smoothie with a generic granola topping. They also replaced the cacao nibs with chunks of dark chocolate ‍. While the smoothie we had was OK it was certainly not worth the price. What was great about the old project juice was that all of the flavors were distinct and delicious and all of the ingredients seemed very high quality. This was just not the same. In the past, we've been happy to pay the high price for the unique, refreshing bowls and juices, but unless they bring back the old formulas for the bowls (not to mention the toasts and juices) we will probably be opting for somewhere else or simply make our own at home. read more

Honestly, an açaí bowl is exactly what everyone needs to start their day or week. I was in the mood for something, light and refreshing, yet filling and found myself at Project Juice at 10am on a Monday morning. I went with the Açaí Superberry (~$12) base which includes açaí, almond mylk, banana, and blueberries. The next step is to choose the topping style; they have 3 to choose from. I went with the Classic, which includes granola, banana, seasonal berries (I got strawberries), coconut shavings, and honey. The last step is to add a boost but I opted to not get any. The bowl was super filling, freshly made, and really hit the spot! It is pretty pricy for a bowl but pretty comparable to many other similar places. It was a solid choice and I left feeling satisfied and full. I would recommend trying it out and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again looking for a delicious açaí bowl. read more

This is place is directly across from my office and was recommended to me by a coworker. First thoughts were holy moly this place is spend. Almost $12 for a smoothie or açaí bowl. I opted out and went with the avo toast instead for $5.50. I'm generally kinda picky with avo toast since a lot of the time it comes flavorless or with bad quality EVOO. But this, was so flavorful. topped with micro greens and on a 2 inch thick slice of sourdough. It's almost dangerous now that i've discovered because it's so good! read more

This place is badass! And by badass I mean in a super healthy way. So far I have tried the sunset beach smoothie and it is amazing, and a few of the salads and they have all been bomb diggity. It is a little on the pricey side but for good consistent customers service and actual fresh ingredients it's worth it. I'm not a salad person, I admit that but the salads are good and hearty and romaine free. read more

AGAIN THE INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE SMOOTHIES IS HORRIBLE. train your employees correctly so that the products are consistent and worth the money us customers spend. Stop filling the smoothies with so much ice that it makes the products taste like water. I know you guys are trying to save money but come on. read more

Very interesting approach on smoothies. I wasn't sure about the cayenne pepper and would ask for it to be omitted on my next smoothie BUT customer service is incredible. Perfect spot for a posh place like 4th st. read more

AVOCADO TOAST was foul. Prepackaged disgusting guacamole was used and an egg also cut from a plastic bag placed on top. I can't explain how vile this was. Can't slice some fresh avocado? Tastes like that pre made garbage guacamole you get from the grocery store. Truly disappointing. And the egg...I can't understand how this is acceptable quality. read more

Lol, literally just drove 20 min to get an açaí bowl which I always go to this spot for a great bowl. The worker was walking out and said "sorry, I'm taking my lunch break for 30 min." Management - What a joke that you can't get two people in the store to work. Get to hiring with the profits from your $20 açaí bowls. News flash - To properly run a business, it sometimes takes managers having to cover when you can't hire properly. One person working ... nice work. *Update* The district manager is looking into staffing so this doesn't happen again. Good news as I felt bad for the guy. read more

I've been to this place twice now and each experience has been very different. The first time I tried this place, the service was great and the people were really nice and super helpful about answering any questions. The next time, was the total opposite. I was barely greeted and the female employee spoke so softly that I had to ask her 3 times if she could speak up since they had all of the blenders going. Anyways... back to the food. The almond butter acai bowl was good, a little pricer than what I've paid for the same clean ingredients, but I get it, it's Berkeley and in a prime location. I also tried one of their green juices which I enjoyed. I will come back when I'm in the area but hopefully their customer service can improve. They also have a parking lot in the back that's free, but it can be difficult to find a spot sometimes. read more

Earthbar - Acai bowl... yumm - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

Project Juice is located in a PRIME location. After soul cycle, I felt like I should be eating healthier and what is better than an açaí bowl!? It's deliciously refreshing. I did see a lot of the people from my class coming here afterwards so the wait is about 10mins. I got the Green original açaí bowl and it was ok. The greens base was kind of bland. I do like that they give you plenty of fruit toppings to make sure you're $13 is worth it. I like the convenience of it but I thought the quality of the bowl was merely ok. The service was also subpar. After starting my day with soul cycle and receiving a lot of positive energy, the vibes at Project Juice was SO depressing. The girl greeting us welcomed us in such a monotone and boring way. The cashier was also not smiling.. it really brought to mood down. read more

Love the the açaí bowls from here! On occasion I will treat myself to some project juice during my lunch walks from work. I would eat here almost everyday if the price wasn't so high.

Earthbar - Dragon - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Berkeley, California

I've come three different times well before closing time, and the employees say they're closed or have run out of ingredients. At 4:40 we arrived the employees rudely told us they're closed, we asked what time they closed (knowing, because we checked online that they closed at 5), he makes an excuse that the system is down...this is only the most current encounter. This has happened two other time for various excuse/reasons. They are always out of ingredients for specific smoothies. We drove specifically to this Earthbar knowing they had later hours, only to find lazy employees who refuse to do their jobs, will not return. read more

Cute interior and located in the same plaza as Soul Cycle. This is my kind of healthy spot for a treat after working out! I like the concept of choosing one of four bases and a topping grouping because it makes it easier to choose, however, the bowl is pricey for the amount you get. $10.95?!! Back home I pay around $8 for the same size bowl! I had the green bowl-it was pretty bland and quickly liquified whilst eating it. The amount of fruit on top was pretty small, too. It was still refreshing, tasty, and hit the spot, but I prefer my other favorite acai place. Also, they don't blend the bases fresh. They're in some sort of refrigerated container drawer that they have from prepping earlier? I do like how they have a variety of other foods you can order here, not just smoothie bowls: toast, soup, breakfast bowls, coffee tea. read more

Firstly, I must admit that while this place is overpriced, it is pretty yummy. I have been obsessed with their Blue Moon smoothie, which really tastes like a healthy milkshake to me, but I have been disappointed on their consistency several times. And for a $10 small smoothie, it should be consistent quality and fantastic every time; right!? Typically I just roll my eyes at the inconsistency then drink the smoothie. Today the coloring and the taste was SUPER off so I finally decided to say something. I came back and mentioned that it tasted off and the coloring was much different than usual too. Right away she grabbed the smoothie and threw it in the trash then had her colleague hand me another one. While I appreciate the instantaneous effort to solve the problem, I was surprised to see her just chuck a full smoothie in the trash. Let's remember - this place claims to be green through and through. Recycleable straws and plastic, local this and that, etc. Does this annoy anyone else or am I overthinking? Regardless, 2 stars for being overpriced and super inconsistent with their product. read more

I really want to love this place, but today was the last straw ( literally). I went in to get smoothies and waffles for me and my husband on a kid free afternoon. When I walked in, no one was smiling. No one says hi. Everyone seems really unhappy working there. Bummer. Maybe employees are not treated well there, IDK. But generally speaking, I expect some level of customer service, a hi. A smile. It goes a long way! Every time I get a smoothie there I am a little disappointed That my $10+ smoothie isn't filled to the top. There is always a half inch or so of space. Come one. That's like $1 worth of smoothie. Those are my general gripes. But today... oh I was really upset. My husbands smoothie was full of plastic shards. So many!! I called to let them know and they refunded me, but come on!!! Where is the quality control?!? That's it for us! Bye bye project juice. read more

They are always out of something. Whether it's containers to put the item in so you're not able to order that item or if they're out of the item but have the containers for it. Often out of toppings so if you order something on the menu you won't get everything that's listed in the ingredients. read more

The reviews on here are misleading. My mother originally wrote a bad review and this place contacted her and offered her free food in exchange for deleting her review. When we first started going here a couple years ago the fruit was fresh and the açaí bowls were delicious. Since then, the quality of the fruit and the food in general has declined drastically. In addition, the employees can be very rude at times. There are plenty of other quality açaí bowl places to support. read more

Great for a quick bite and still great If you're going out of your way to come here (but be warned, it's not really a sit down spot - max of a 6 people can probably "dine in" at a time. The ingredients are fresh and filling. My husband usually gets their açaí bowl and I've gotten their protein waffle twice now - I love their almond butter and the filling toppings. I also love their "adaptogen lattes". I can't have caffeine right now and their milk and coffee alternatives are really great! I especially love the Brain Alchemy drink - a healthy take on hot chocolate. read more

I'm a huge acai bowl enthusiast and have pretty high standards given the number of great acai bowl places in Southern California. Taste wise, Project Juice definitely lives up to my high expectations. The acai is the right consistency and the fruit itself always tastes great. Cost-wise - it's a bit more on the expensive side. In Southern CA you can get double the size for the same price, but that being said it is the Bay Area. The only complaint I have about this location, is that when there's a line, it tends to move slowly. Workers can't start making the bowls/smoothie until the order comes through electronically. I'd recommend taking the orders from the line to speed up the process! read more

Workers were dismissive, long wait time, and used old ingredients. The strawberries on the açaí bowls were not fresh at all and the base was practically liquid when served. My partner and I are usually very patient and forgiving, but just want to warn people do not come here for the açaí bowls. I remember the quality and customer service being a lot better a few years ago. read more

I am not from Berkeley and did not realize that it was a part of a more extensive outdoor shopping mall-like establishment. But it did not disappoint. The Acai Superberry base with Paleo toppings Superfood Bowl was big and decently priced for the size. I ate it outside the location on one of the tables they have set up in the sunshine--no space inside to eat. And if you can or need to take it to-go, my lid wouldn't fit on the top of the container. They do have utensils you can take away. The only issue I had was with the lack of restrooms. No public or even private bathrooms were available around this location. read more

This place is a solid option for açai bowls in Berkeley. Presentation was great and the ingredients were pretty fresh. However I think that the açai is not freshly blended each time especially because it was quite watery, meaning it wasn't very thick and was much more liquid than normal açai. Another thing was that the price was pretty high for this small açai bowl, but compared to other places in Berkeley, it's price and quality is better than most. I also liked the vibe of the store, it was nice and quiet, and very cute with wood and plants. It's in a very nice area in Berkeley. I also like that the store actually sells other things, I believe I saw that someone else had ordered avocado toast, but they also sell coffee and juices and drinks! read more
