    Service is AMAZING! The free cookie was such a nice surprise. The açaí was delicious and the juices are made fresh in the morning so get there early.

    Chipotle Chicken Sandwich
    Zaira R.

    I got the chicken chipotle salad sandwich and a sunrise juice. Overall, both were delicious. Service was great and got my sandwich fairly quick. This was my first time here and I really did enjoy it. However, $10 for a small a juice seemed excessive. I will probably come back and skip out on drinks.

    Energy Booster Juice
    Vivian T.

    Needed a retinol boost for my skin so I thought to order a juice from Juice Alchemy. You can place an online order, but I decided to order inside since I was nearby. I was on a time crunch though and was told the wait for a carrot juice would be 15 minutes, so please allow time for any custom-made juices. I wasn't really offered any alternatives, but I knew they sold juices on the side in their grab and go fridge, so I opted for that instead. The juice tasted great and was quite sweet, but refreshing. My juice was the Energy Booster and was a blend of apple, mint, carrot, and pineapple juice. They offer juice cleanse packages as well as acai bowls and sandwiches and is one of the healthier options for food in the Bankers Hill location.

    Acai Bowl 16oz
    Trevor T.

    Tucked away between a nail salon and massage parlor is Juice Alchemy. Right when you enter you feel healthier. Service was super helpful and they let me know the açaí bowl was dairy free. Relaxing music was playing and other patrons were hanging out sipping on their juices or waiting for their orders. Went for the 16 oz Açaí bowl, but they offer a 24 oz which looked massive. Comes with honey almond granola, strawberries, blueberries, banana, and your choice of honey or guava. I picked honey and they didn't skimp out. The bowl was perfection and they provided enough granola where you could mix it with the açaí which was fun. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

    Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich + Detox Juice
    Nina N.

    Great spot with abundant choices of juices, smoothies, and breakfast/lunch items. Sampled the Vanilla Kale smoothie and it was a dream :) Detox juice was very refreshing and the turkey bacon avocado sandwich pairs well with the chipotle sauce. Shout out to Abraham for excellent customer service and kindness!

    I visit this place a few times a week for smoothies and they have never disappointed. It's always very clean inside and staff is friendly. Their smoothie recipes are so good. Personal favorites include the Coffee Date with vanilla protein, Very Berry with vanilla protein, and the protein oat balls!

    Turkey bacon sandwich

    If I could give this place negative stars I would. Horrible and atrocious service, it was like I was talking to a wall. Never told me how long the food would take. The açaí bowl was mediocre at best, didn't taste like anything at all. And the bottom was frozen so I'm assuming they pre make them and just pull them out. The sandwich had a hair in it and it was embedded into the turkey. The bacon also looked super limp. I called and left a voicemail - no response. Called the next day and was told management would call but it has now been 3 days with no communication. Save your money and time. This place is trash.

    Very cool, casual, comfortable. Definitely the California 3 C's :D. Ver welcoming Friendly service. Didn't have food; however, the menu offerings sound delicious and delightful. I drank the "Coffee Date", and my date drank the "Banana Boat" YUMMmmersssss!!!!!

    Vanilla Kale Smoothie
    Airi G.

    When I drank the Vanilla Kale all I could think was this is definitely something I can make at home for a lot cheaper. I asked the worker, who was very kind, for recommendations and she said this was one of their most popular ones. I mean it's not horrible but it's also not great either. It tasted mostly like almond butter and basially no vanilla which was what I was looking forward to.

    Was craving a smoothie after a long day in Balboa Park. Definitely a cute little spot with a nice seating atmosphere. I got the Coffee Date smoothie in 'kids' size. Banana, cold brew, and dates for a refreshing end of day pick me up. It tasted great. Unfortunately, the girl taking my order almost seemed annoyed that another customer and I walked in. She was unfriendly taking my order. I kind of took the hint and just took the smoothie to go. I'd love to go back and try an açai bowl or a sandwich, maybe on a different day.

    While visiting the beautiful state of California, by way, the breathtaking city of San Diego, I have enjoyed every meal thus far. Unfortunately, some of the food was a bit heavy, and did not agree with my digestive system. I came to yelp, as always looking for a nearby Juice bar. You would think, being in San Diego, you will find one on every block, this wasn't the case. The first location that I went to, was closed, and the number was out of service. This location was the closest to the location where I came up short. Upon arrival, The gentleman behind the counter greeted me with a warm smile. He was very hospitable, very caring, and was very accommodating to my digestive needs. I took him up on his suggestions to do the flu shot along with the detox smoothie. He explained that this location use the cold press, and that I could use my juice up to five days later. This was very impressive. Although the flu shot was spicy, it was nice in taste. He even gave me a little extra and I was able to share it with my daughter, who was about to travel back east. My juice was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect blend of fruits and vegetables, unlike other places where you could taste the celery in the detox. I was able to drink it, literally the whole bottle in less than 30 seconds. I wish I would've came back the following day to get another one. I decided to venture out and try another location in which I will also leave a review for that place. If you are in need of a detox mix with great customer service, this place sets the standard.

    Saucy - soupy - so dissatisfied
    Brandon A.

    Saucy - Soupy - So disappointed : I ordered the Açaí bowl ( add whey protein ) I waited inside and had the lady make my order. She handed it to me like this. I said... " hey sorry.,, is the granola and the PB in here ? " She replied back " umm yeahhhh ... soooo Açaí doesn't come " naturally " with protein in it, ( rolled eyes ) so when I add it - it... everything sinks to the bottom.." I'm like - interesting, nowhere else in the world I've ordered one of these has that happened. But okay thank you ! I live around the corner from here and would enjoy the opportunity to let them try again with providing a better order and experience but otherwise.. I would say go ANYWHERE ELSE.

    **July 2026: Sunday Afternoon Visit**…read more After an amazing (but exhausting) weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, my body was seriously craving something refreshing and nutritious. I had walked past Vitality Tap several times since it's conveniently located near my hotel, and on my last day I finally decided to stop in--and I'm so glad I did. The space is a cool mix of a vitamin/supplement shop and a health-focused drink and café spot. For a Sunday afternoon, it was surprisingly busy, with staff hustling to make drinks and açaí bowls. Despite the crowd, everything looked well-organized, and all the customers seemed genuinely happy with their orders. I ordered "The Dragon," which has pitaya, coconut water, pineapple, and strawberries. It was incredibly refreshing--exactly what I needed after hours of walking in the heat. Light, hydrating, and flavorful without being overly sweet. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area to try their açaí bowls and juices. Great spot for a post-adventure reset.

Let's start with the good. Flavor? Solid. Peanut butter showed up like a starter, not a bench player. Ingredients were fresh, clean, and legit. Now the audit. The ratios on the large made mixing feel like a CrossFit session. I was excavating toppings only to discover a thick reserve of untouched açaí at the bottom. Structurally ambitious. Practically challenging. Professional recommendation: Order the medium. Better balance. Better blend. Less archaeological digging. The base leaned a little heavy for my personal preference -- not bad, just dense. Some people like that. I prefer flow. Now... the headline. The Staff!! 6/5. I don't hand those out casually.

I placed an order ahead of time and showed up about 25 minutes later thinking it would be ready. When I checked in, a younger employee told me it would be another 10 minutes. Annoying, but okay. The parking situation around here is already a nightmare, so I really wasn't thrilled about having to stand around waiting even longer. Well, those 10 minutes turned into 25. During that time, I watched multiple people walk in, place orders after I had already checked in, and receive their food before me. The crazy part? It wasn't even busy. There was no line out the door, no rush, no obvious reason for such a ridiculous delay. After waiting long enough, I finally went up to an older gentleman working there (I'm assuming the owner) and politely explained that I had been waiting a very long time and was confused why people ordering after me were getting their food first. Instead of apologizing or even acknowledging the mistake, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like I was inconveniencing him for asking about an order that should have been ready ages ago. Then, after another 10 minutes, my bowls were finally ready. In total, I waited about 35 minutes after checking in for pickup. To top it all off, the older gentleman practically shoved the bowls at me without so much as a "sorry for the wait." Look, delays happen. Mistakes happen. What bothered me was the complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service. If you're running behind, just be honest about it. Don't tell someone 10 minutes when it's really going to be over half an hour. The açaí is good, but not nearly good enough to make up for being treated like an annoyance. There are plenty of other places in San Diego serving great bowls without the attitude.
