Feeling a little parched and devoid of vitamins I thought I'd rely on Hula to perk me up with their fruity offerings. True to form they supplied me with a flavour packed glass of what they call 'Sunshine in a cup'. Its potent mango, orange and passion fruit mix complimented by some smooth and creamy yoghurt perked me up good and proper. It seems every man and his dog offers smoothies these days without actually doing the product any service, Hula on the other hand know exactly how to make them and damn they're good. Inexpensive too. Also, the staff are warm and inviting, seemingly taking pride in making your face beam with a sip of their goodness packed delights. read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Food very nice, good lunch deal where you can get soup and a sandwich for £6 odds. A good place for a pit stop when you're out and about; everything tastes fresh and good quality. Must say that the soups are especially good. As for smoothies, I've only ever had the banana and peanut butter one. Gosh, it was good. I'm sure the wide selection of juices on offer will do the owner proud. Smoothies are a bit steep - it's almost £4 for some of them. But for a treat you could do an awful lot worse! Pleasant ambience in the cafe - plenty of seats to rest your weary toosh, and there's a section through the back if it's all looking busy when you first step in the door. Also like the art from local artists that is hung on the walls. read more

Everything here is so great!! Cute cozy decor and food is SOOO amazing. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and they were so generous with their portion. The warm juice drinks were delicious and really warms you up on a cold day. Wish I lived here so I can get it everyday. read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Came here for lunch. We ordered chicken sandwich and tricolor salad. Both good, but nothing special!

Lovely for both sitting in and taking away, the Hula Juice Bar is a little ray of sunshine. It offers a lovely array of soups, to go with its range of signature smoothies. Overall, we said: "It's always such a delight to see people enjoying what they're doing at the same time as producing things to a high quality. We'll be back to try more soups and wraps from their range, soon." read more

Last time, I gave Hula 4 stars - they charged for GF bread so that ticked me off. Didn't stop me from going though and I do visit more regularly than my check-in's suggest - namely because I head in, grab food and then have my hands too full to use the Yelp app (and iphones are fragile little darlings and don't react well to cobbles) as I'm walking up Victoria St. I love Hula. When I'm tired I head to Hula. When I have crap hair and dodgy skin, I head to Hula. When I've walked into town and need refreshments, I head to Hula. So why is this? I love their smoothies and juices. As I said in my last review - I eat my veggies, but as far as I was concerned, veggies were for eating, not drinking. Now, I drink my veggies courtesy of the Popeye - spinach, apple, lemon and nutmeg. It is divine! It is my cold curer - get in there as soon as the sniffles start and if skin and hair looks ropey then I order a large Popeye and I soon have a ready-brek glow. Food is great too :-) No charge now for GF bread - hurrah but something happened on my last visit. Something immense that only GF people can understand. Normally chicken soup is off limits. Creamy (not overly so) chicken soup, with chicken bits and is good for the soul, but usually comes packed with wheat flour so is off limits. But at Hula - I HAD CHICKEN SOUP FOR LUNCH AND IT WAS AWESOME! It was gf, had ginger in it - ha! potential cold had to go somewhere else after that - and it was so damn good and reminded me that I miss having chicken soup for my lunch if I'm out and about. I had the soup and sandwich deal (gf bread) which was tons of food with my sandwich packed full of spicy tuna and only £5. Worth more for the virtuous healthy feeling I had leaving Hula. So, yep Hula is well worth a visit. You know already that it's a great wee colourful haven on a dark, cold winters day with friendly staff, free wifi, awesome drinks and food, so if its been awhile, its time to get reacquainted. read more

a winter in edinburgh generally means grey days, cold and wet weather, and a total lack of colour and sunshine. and then there is winter inside Hula Juice Bar...color, sunshine, smoothies full of fruity goodness!! oh yes, i felt like i'd stepped into summer time a few months early when i came here on tuesday night :) the shop very kindly stayed open for an extra hour so the cake committee could come and meet about setting up a bake off for charity! all very exciting, but made much more so with the dominant yellow colour that was on the walls, chairs, and counters of hula. and then there are the juices, my betty ford was a pretty pink, the popeye was a lovely forrest green, and even Susan M's tea came in a beautiful blue teapot. all delivered by friendly smiling staff :) so yes the colourful environment was very pleasing, but so were the lovely juice blends they had! i found myself debating between a few of them but went for the betty ford that was lovely and full of strawberries and peach with just a hint of banana. it was just the pick up i needed after scoffing a birthday cupcake during the afternoon at work. i left feeling revived and healthy and sunny even though it was dark and cold outside. i'm definitely a fan of hula and hope to get back there soon to try some of their tasty food offerings in addition to more juice! i only wish this place was closer to leith...or that they had a second shop in leith!! read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Betty Ford juice blend :) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

For me, getting five fruit and veg a day is near impossible. However, this may be about to change, as I have now discovered Hula, and the smoothies hear are great. A huge range of fruit (and some very odd 'alternatives') smoothies and juice drinks is well priced, and freshly made in front of you. If however, a super berry smoothies isnt your thing, Hula does coffes and teas as well, with snack food at a reasonable price. One of three local stores, the grass market Hula has a performance area for local musicians, so the atmposhpere is very relaxed and chilled out. A great little find, and I will be coming here more often than I go to the shops for carrots and brocolli. read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Hula - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

My number one spot when looking for a fresh juice or smoothie in Edinburgh. The staff are always extremely friendly and are happy to help out with any suggestions for those days when you can't make up your mind. Every single item I've tried has been freshly made (but very quick service) and everything tastes amazing - my favourite has to be the Popeye juice! The bright cheery decor always puts a smile on my face even when the weather is miserable outside! If you don't fancy sitting it, it's a perfect spot to pick up a juice on-the-go for walking around town. read more

I feel like I have just been slapped in the face with my five a day. I popped in to check out the newly refurbished Hula Juice bar today with a friend of mine. It looks great - still quirky and cosy but a bit more modern in its stylings. I had a whirling Dervish which was a delight of tangy flavour. My friend had a Ginger something or other which was pretty good I think - well she didn't let me have any so I assume that it was good! Anyway this was about my dozenth or more visit to hula and I felt it was time to review it. So although today I only had a smoothie - in the past I've had soups, sandwiches, bagels, cakes and other exciting things! So the five stars is not just for today but for the whole Hulaexperience. That doesn't really work as one word.... hulexperience.... experihula.... ,,,,,,,, read more

Best juice bar/cafe I have ever been to and the local crowd is there to prove it! This place is very sustainable and environmentally friendly and almost all vegan. We both got the Maca Nana Bowl and it was amazing. I got a carrot juice as well. Don't miss this place! They have a bigger menu than you would expect. read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Maca Nana Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

We were staying in the Grassmarket area, and after a night of drinking all I wanted was a green juice. Low and behold, Hula appeared like a beacon and gave me what I needed. I told them what I was looking for, and they recommended a juice not on the menu - all I can recall was mango and spinach (I think apple too? Ginger?) but once I heard those things I was like - SOLD. We got a wheatgrass "booster" too which didn't affect the taste like I thought it would, fortunately. I think it was about £5 for a large with the booster. Worth it! My fiancé and I shared it, though I drank most of it because it was so addictively good. So fruity and yummy, you'd never know how many vegetables you were consuming! I watched them make it, which was really fun, they have these crazy industrial blenders and just jam whole apples in there. Service was really friendly, took a while to get the juice but the cafe was so cozy and cute that I didn't mind waiting. We didn't eat there, but their menu looks so wonderful and healthy that I hope to grab a bite there another day. read more

Hula used to be my 'oh god I'm going to be in the studio all day I better eat something sustaining and vaguely healthy so that I don't die' go to. Its a bit quirky, with bright colours and illustrations on the wall. It seems to attract the health conscious folk of Edinburgh, but I mainly went in for the excellent bagels. Those huge oversized polo shaped guiltiness can be filled with a variety of things, but I went for the unhealthiest you can manage in this shop, cream cheese. They also do lots of nice things, and super coloured juices that I am slightly afraid of. Great place to get a quick bite while in the grassmarket. read more

If you're a peanut butter fiend like myself, you need to get your butt to Hula and treat yourself to a Nutty Professor shake. It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Or at least help with your hangover! You can get organic booster powders added too, so if you need some extra pep (or again, a hangover cure), you're in the right place. The food is affordable and uber-healthy, the people are lovely and the wifi is spot on. Added bonus: they have a lovely location right on Victoria Street, with seats outside for sunny days. Sheer bliss! read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Beetroot & Betty Ford shakes at Hula Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

We went for a healthy breakfast in Edinburgh, and it had its ups and downs. I ordered a cinnamon latte and acai bowl. The coffee was very good. The bowl however was average at best. It had no flavor and not enough fresh fruit. There was also something in the mix (I think maybe granola) that had a very sour aftertaste. I let my mom test it (we love bowls) and she agreed something was off. My mother also ordered an avocado toast, juice, and a regular latte. She liked the avocado toast a lot and said the juice was amazing. I don't remember the exact one she chose but I think it was ginger flavored. Overall, not sure I would come back here. Apparently the cold press juice is the way to go. read more

I was looking for avocado toast for breakfast and found this cute place close by. They have a few small tables with servers, and also a front counter for take away. I ordered the avocado toast and decided on the pink lady juice. I don't drink juice often, but this did not seem like it was made correctly. It was a simple four ingredient drink, but all I could taste was an overwhelming ginger. I tried a few more sips but could not even, it was just too strong. I would have complained if anyone asked me how my food or drink was, but I was never checked on. The avocado toast was pretty tasty, but I have never seen so much avocado on toast!! I had to scrap off what seemed like an entire avocado worth. After finishing my meal and placing napkins over my plate I still could not get my servers attention to get a bill or to say anything. I eventually came to the counter to ask if I pay here. I got a "sure" although I think I saw others receive a bill at the table. When they asked how my food was I said the drink was overwhelmingly ginger and I just got a "oh yeah sorry" and that was it. read more

Delicious and pleasant first breakfast of our trip. Tea, coffee, and terrific porridge

Hula is: "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true." This is what Hula juice does to me, it makes me break into song... *queue howling dogs in the distance* ... moving to Edi from Australia, I was disappointed with the fact there were no cool juice bars, and I also really struggled to find a funky wee cafe that made quality food, played good tunes & with service to boot... can you appreciate my excitement when on Australia day Hula Juice Bar made a special "Shiraz soup" for their antipodean fans, encouraging me to drive 1/2 way across town to sample... I can't recommend this wee spot highly enough, I now regularly drive from across town to get my Hula fix & Hula is my 1st stop when I have friends visiting Edinburgh as location-wise, it simply does not get better than this (my FAVOURITE street in Edi!)... to top it off for me, no matter what the weather is like in Scotland, Hula always have the sunshine turned on! Whether you are visiting Edinburgh for the 1st time, or a resident looking for a fresh place to try out ... get yourself down there! Sunshine in a cup guaranteed! read more

I am a smoothie-addict, and therefore I am quite fussy about what I drink. This place has not failed to impress me. The manager is a very friendly and dedicated lady and this adds to the quality of the experience. The menu is very rich and it always includes a fairly good selection of cakes. I personally love thicker drinks, so I definitely appreciated the possibility of adding frozen yogurt for only 50p. It makes the smoothies absolutely outstanding without ruining the taste. The place is very tidy and colorful, it offers free wi-fi and it's an option I would reccomend to anyone happening to be in that area. read more

Had a working lunch date with a friend recently - when we got in that morning she mentioned she'd only have a cup of tea, as she was on a bit of a fast - so lunch choice was up to me. What a score to find Hula. The decor is bright and tropical themed (as one would hope with a name like 'Hula' - it will help you forget a damp grey day for sure. The front room was bustling, but there's a back room, and that was nice and quiet, we managed to have a great meeting over lunch back there. She managed to have more than just that cup of tea she'd been planning on sipping - the juices on the menu fit into her plan that day, and the green one she picked out was really nice, tasted like 'home juiced' if that's a thing. I had a spicy tuna wrap (chilli tuna, guacamole, rice, cheddar, mixed salads), it was a solid 'good', I remember feeling like it could've had 'more' - not sure what, cheese for sure, salsa would've lifted it beautifully, I don't remember thinking the rice added much. The salad falls on the short lists of salads in restaurants I will eat - I remember it being full of bright, vivid colors (I am very picky about salads). All in all, for price, convenience, quality of food, ability to accommodate me and my friend, it was the perfect spot for lunch that day. I have since recommended Hula to a coworker who was out for a lunch a few days later. He reported back that he liked it and would be back. I work in the neighborhood and based on my own experience, and what I've read here - I'll pop back in sometime to try something else - a friend of mine has raved about the soups. Might come back here after and add a star... read more

Aloha....... second visit to Hula Juice Bar this lovely Birthday Morning. I stopped by this place months ago on a trip through to Edinburgh to try and sort out a flat. After viewing a few, less than exciting places in Haymarket I wandered back into town and immediately headed right in this welcoming little cafe. Smoothies, yum, Bagels, yes please!! It was lovely the first time round although I did not hang around too much. Today I met up with Jenny for a nice leisurely breckie. What could be better for you than a lovely smoothie jam-packed with fruits. How very healthy of me. Great thing is that we both wanted something a little different from the menu, I wanted cheddar instead of brie with my bacon croissant and Jenny prefers her porridge made with water and not milk. Not a problem. Bonus of going with someone who is clearly a regular - we got to try a new juice the owner is mixing up at the mo. Beetroot, apple, lime/lemon, and ginger. It would have been very nice except me and ginger try to avoid each other, he always leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. Overall a great little place tucked away down in the Grassmarket. Although I do find myself drooling over the selection of shoes as well as the food!!! read more

This cafe was my favorite to go to after I worked out or was feeling healthy. The acai bowl and poke are to die for. Everything is also served very prettily for pictures. A must-go in Edinburgh! read more

Misty rain this a.m. in Old Town and thus I was in search of warm comfort food but should I go for full Scottish breakfast that sounded either one step above or below Denny's in U.S. or little place down the street; since the former is a bar whose server is not to be found, to Hula I went. I ask the server at 9:30 a.m. if it was too early to get soup and she says, "It's never too early for soup!" My kind of place. I ordered a chicken corn chowder which seems to have pureed potatoes as part of the soup base and comes with great thick slices of crusty grain bread and butter. Yummy and just the thing to warm up with. Later in the day, I returned for a large Orange & mango smoothies w/ energy boost. This too was good. The business has a great vibe with locals, international visitors speaking multiple languages, friendly staff, good eats, and wifi. This was another place I was lucky to stumble upon that I remembered reading about in Yelper Jenny L's reviews. Well worth checking out. read more

Went here on a whim and so glad we did!! The special salad was roasted carrot and sweet potato and I can easily say that it was the BEST salad I've ever had! Juice was amazing and my boyfriend got the parsnip soup that was also wonderful. Prices were very reasonable on top on all that. All in all, I love this place and will most definitely go back! read more

If you are vegan/GF and traveling to Edinburgh, you MUST go here. Even if you have a normal diet and just want delicious, fresh, and quick food, Hula is the spot. I've spent hours browsing Yelp and other sites to find delicious food thay doesn't empty my wallet, and I've found it. The bagels and fresh juice are my go-to :) read more

Hula Juice Cafe - Banana honey porridge is delicious! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Really nice atmosphere, comfortable with good wifi. Great to meet friends or general sit, be and people watch. Quiet enough that you can peacefully sit and work. I strongly recommend their chicken and pesto bagel with or without brie! Smoothies are great but are rather expensive, thankfully they also do pretty good coffee. While their cakes look good they are exposed to air and very near the door and till which stopped me from trying any. This is surprising as the rest of the place is spotless even while busy at 3pm. Overall a great place that i am sure i will come back to many times. read more

The only real juice bar in Edinburgh at the time of this review. They use actual vegetables in their juices - like spinach and kale, which is nice. The drinks are a little sweet for a real juicer like me (a little too much apple), but still healthier than the fake sugar in most other mainstream juice places. And since juicing isn't really a thing there, some sweetness is to be expected. So I can appreciate that they are trying to spread the juice culture to Edinburgh - they even had a class about why you should juice. Nice people and good sandwiches/wraps as well. I hung out there and used their wifi while eating and drinking healthy stuff. read more

Horrible experience. Ordered a sandwich with aubergine, hummus and caramelised onions which was recommended warm. My order arrived after 20/25 minutes, my sandwich was stone cold the bread was gummy, it was absolutely tasteless and the onions were completely raw and not caramelised as written in the menu. That sandwich probably costed around £1 to make and was sold for something like £6.50. A total rip off. Hola, Hula. NEVER AGAIN. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! I was staying at the Apex and was so happy to find this spot- gluten free, vegetarian options galore! The food is fresh, the prices are insanely reasonable, and everyone who works there is incredibly nice. I wish they'd open one in the states! read more

I really like this place. Anywhere that serves fresh juices and great big bowls of soup is always great satisfaction and hits the spot every time :) A great place to stop by for lunch with friends or just a quick juice :) read more

The menu had a lot of vegan, gluten, dairy free options which was great. The juice I ordered mostly tasted like apples, and it was supposed to have ginger and other ingredients. The service was a little scattered. Our orders were taken incorrectly, but quickly fixed! I did enjoy the flavor of the food, very yummy. I would go back, maybe it was just a busy afternoon and the service wouldn't usually be so scattered. read more

Now I know what all the fuss is about! I swear I've passed Hula by unaware of its very existence! And now, I find that in that very spot exists the infamous, wonderful smoothie hula haven I've heard so much about! (And they really do go to town on the hula theme!) Hula is just the right sort of small to feel cosey and not cramped. The staff were super welcoming and it was great to see that we got 10% off our order when we checked in on Yelp. Hooray! I went for the Betty Ford with strawberry, peach, apple and banana and my smoothie significant other went for a Ginger Jack fruit juice with carrot, ginger, apple and orange. Wow! I will not accept any less than the smoothie scrumminess that is Hula. They tasted like pure fruit and were blended to perfection. With our yelp discount, it came to about the average cost for two large smoothies at any smoothie bar. But tasted like one of the best smoothies I've had. And I've had a fair few! (Got to get them fruits!) Now to say I'd get the train to Edinburgh just to get my Hula fix would be a crazy lie. (Boy, I wish I could!) But when I'm in town, it's first on my agenda! read more

Good as always. Had the pesto chicken and sun dried tomatoes on a bagel ! Plus for the meal deal for lunch and got the zesty tomato coriander soup! DELICIOUS!!!! Love this place read more

This cafe is nestled along the Grassmarket, almost on the corner up a very steep street. It's very cozy and deceptively larger than I thought (but still not that big). There is outdoor seating along the front for nicer days. Inside in the main room there is some seating but if you venture in, there is more seating! Very comfy and cozy place. We didn't stay, I ordered the Popeyes juice cause I love those super-jam-packed, full of vitamins and goodness type of juices. It was very tasty and my toddler approved. We also got a veggie wrap which had some creamy guacamole and loads of fresh crunchy veggies! All in all very tasty and one of the only places in Edinburgh to offer fresh juice. And by fresh juice I mean, freshly squeezed or liquified right in front of you. None of this bottled none sense. Fresh and unapologetic. Definitely will be coming back! Child friendly and good wholesome fresh food & juice. Really couldn't ask for more. read more

This healthy café was directly around the corner from the flat we had while visiting Edinburgh and we enjoyed it so much that we visited 3 times. It's a small spot, but with a lot of character and they like to highlight local artists on the walls. They have very impressive vegetarian and vegan options for those with dietary restrictions and they make truly wonderful smoothies if you're not in the mood for coffee or tea (seriously, you've got to try their awesome fresh fruit smoothies!). They have some very unique menu creations which will keep you returning to try new dishes each time and nothing we tried was even remotely disappointing. Every bite was pure culinary genius! If you're headed to Edinburgh, this is a really great place to get breakfast each morning. read more

We love Hula. Everything is well thought out and well delivered. I love the juices and the cakes. Breakfast is always a real treat. It's in an amazing part of Edinburgh and really great value too. Cant wait to go back. read more

Hula is kind of like ... a hug. I know lots of people love it, but I really didn't expect a juice bar to make me feel so cosy and friendly and happy! I had a Pink Lady which is apple, lemon, ginger and ... something. Can't remember, but it was delicious. And orange. Okay, pinky-orange. There's lots more seating inside than I imagined, free wifi, the friendliest staff, and I got a 10 percent Yelp discount! The only downside, and it's maybe a silly one, is that I'd like my drink in a glass when sitting in, rather than a takeaway tumbler. That just would feel nicer, I think. But it's only a little thing, and I'll definitely be back for another juice hug. read more

We were looking for somewhere to have a good quick lunch and we found it! I'm recently a bit of a smoothie addict and there is nothing I love more than a creamy banana smoothie and so I was delighted when I got one here! We also had lunch here, I had a Cajun chicken wrap which was lovely and so filling! My boyfriend had the cream cheese and salmon bagel which he also devoured! I was surprised to see there was 10% off the bill when you check in with Yelp which was a cheeky bonus! read more

This place is full of sunshine in so many ways; the freshly squeezed fruity goodness in your cup, the newly refurbished decor, the art on the walls, the smiles and friendliness of the staff. Soup & a bagel/sandwich for £5.00 is an amazing lunch deal, the haggis soup is must try. They serve good coffee and a nice variety of cakes, one of my favourite places in town. read more
