It was a tuesday afternoon when I decided to visit this Juice & Java. The building was dimly lit up and a little overwhelming at first with all the signs but the service here was polite & I decided to try the orange creamsicle because I LOVE that ice cream & as a smoothie??? OH MY GOD!!!! I am obsessed! This smoothie is so freaking good & i crave it all the time. I seriously could order this for breakfast, lunch & dinner. It tastes exactly like an orange creamsicle! I absolutely will be coming back to this location to try more of their foods & smoothies. YUM!!! read more

Juice & Java has been a Mechanicsburg staple since 2001, and after finally visiting, I can see why. I stopped in on a chilly, overcast Sunday evening around 5 p.m. with a very specific craving: grilled cheese and soup. Juice & Java delivered big time. When I walked in, the café was quiet, with just a couple of customers working away on laptops. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with a perfectly nostalgic 90's soundtrack playing overhead. The café itself is small and quirky, with local artwork for sale adorning the walls--an inviting little space that immediately makes you want to linger. The menu was surprisingly large for such a small spot, and while their coffee selections seemed endless, I skipped the caffeine this time. Instead, I ordered: 4-Cheese Gourmet Grill ($9.95) - Monterey Jack, provolone, American & cheddar, a bowl of Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda Soup ($4.79) and two canned sodas ($1.95 each). The staff were friendly, the tables were spotless, and our food came out quickly. The grilled cheese was generously portioned--easily shareable, with perfectly gooey, melty cheese and plenty of those delightful "cheese dangly bits" that make a grilled cheese worth it. But the real star? That Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda soup. Creamy without being heavy, rich with flavor, perfectly warm, and absolutely made for dunking a grilled cheese. I was so glad I ordered a bowl instead of a cup--I would've been sad if it ended too soon. It was one of the best soup-and-sandwich combos I've had in a long time. All in, our meal was just over $20 with tip--reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. With their great hours (breakfast through dinner, seven days a week), plenty of parking in the strip mall lot, and a menu full of tempting options, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in the area and craving comfort food with a cozy, local vibe--skip the chains and head here. read more

Juice & Java has been around since I've been a kid. The food has consistently remained the same. Delicious and flavorful. Always a perfect smoothie with great options. My favorite thing to get is the Grilled Chicken Focaccia. It's consistently been amazing. I love how quick you get served after ordering. And they always have a comfy atmosphere with good music. Definitely recommend. read more

Mojo Smoothie one of our favorites and cranberry oatmeal scone although they go fast. Brocoli salad is delicious and staff made me and egg sandwhich on Panini which was delicious. Strawberry fields salad we like as well. Dirty Harry melted and crab imperial is delicious aa well. read more

i've been a customer for over 15+ years and just the past couple years service has been horrible. I was in today The staff was so unprofessional didn't know how to use a 15% off coupon. They said I couldn't use that coupon. I would have to use it next visit. So they ended up refunding me the whole amount and I got no smoothie. So they have now lost my business. read more

In town for the weekend ended up stopping in twice: once for a smoothie and once for lunch. This is my go to spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. The prices are great, the food comes out fast, and it's such a cute little spot. It also looked like some people were working on their laptops so also a great spot to come if you're wanting to work remote. It's relatively quiet and usually pretty chill. Strawberry Colada smoothie is my favorite. It's refreshing and delicious. For lunch I got a chicken caesar wrap and it comes with maui onion chips. There was a good amount of chicken and caesar dressing which I like and it was a good size to fill me up. My friend got the half size of the godfather and said it was the perfect amount for a light lunch and really yummy. read more

Juice & Java - Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Worked here while traveling and enjoyed a latte and a strawberry colada smoothie ! Vibes were great, noisiness is to be expected with a blender and espresso grinder so don't expect silence but it was great! Cashiers and baristas were helpful in their recommendations! If I'm back in Mechanicsburg I'll swing by again! Good prices read more

It's a cute little cafe with lots of option for smoothie. I tried their Berry Furious and Orange Creamsicle. They are not overly sweet and taste pretty healthy. Their food is just okay and a bit overprice i think. Service was fast and friendly. It's a nice spot if you are lookinh for some decent smoothie! read more

My friend and I wanted coffee, but I also wanted food for lunch. This shop has coffee, smoothies, teas, pastries and sandwiches. I got a sandwich called the Dirty Harry. It was pot roast, cheese, peppers toasted on a roll. It was served with au jus and was delicious! The iced mocha frappe I got was pretty good. The ambiance is okay, but it's not a great place to hang and talk because it can be very noisy. There are loud blenders running and things. I got a smoothie to go and enjoyed it. Cute place, decent prices and good coffee. read more

Just discovered this restaurant on a Monday when Ressler's Bagels was closed. The Tealicious Smoothy is delicious. Low calorie and very tasty. I had a Buffalo chicken wrap and it also was very good. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu items. read more

Okay, whew. This place was a trip as there was a "regular" (?), I'm not sure if they knew her or not, there AT opening taking up everyone's attention and making a huge scene. It was a lot to take in for first thing in the morning haha! Other than that, the location was super cute. Very unique, tons of great coffee options and espresso drinks. I got the breakfast burrito with feta and it was AWESOME. They have a bunch of great vegetarian options to choose from! Prices were a little steep for what you got, but it was on the east coast. There weren't any pastries or quick items to grab, which was a little disappointing for a coffee shop. Service was great - the cashier was super nice. They seemed to have good rapport with each other behind the counter and made us feel comfortable. I'll probably be back as it's in a convenient location and better than most chains! read more

I would like to start off by saying that I order frequently from here and have been a returning customer for 2 years, but I will not be be back. The staff was incredibly unprofessional and rude. I had an order for pickup that was scheduled to be picked up at 1:30 (it was only a drink). When I asked about my order I was told they were working on it. I stood around waiting without an update for 20 minutes while listening to two employees making ignorant comments about other customers. When asking when my order would be ready I was told it was "right here" in the blender, while two employees rolled their eyes at me and laughed. It is a shame because I enjoyed the menu, but would not recommend going anywhere that staff is so blatantly rude and disrespectful. Not worth the time or money for the negative energy/experience. read more

A great spot to go! I love their smoothies a bit of nondairy options. You can charge your phone at the table with their own charge ports. They always remain super busy. Hi Doordash and I would pick up from all over his people of the spot. read more

Juice & Java - Love this spot. I Doordash and that how I found this spot. People order from all over for there smoothies. People are super nice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

Regardless of food or drink quality, the TV volume was so unbearably loud it took away from everything else! Terrible atmosphere... would not recommend. read more

Had chicken that was cooked days ago, middle was grey and white. Looked like the chicken was also deep fried days ago too. Absolutely terrible taste. Actually... they probably just gave me the display sandwich or something lol. The sandwich looked so old, the cheese was hard and transparent. The meal still cost close to $23. The smoothie I drank was terrible, threw out 3/4 of it. For the price the taste and food were terrible. Poor quality. read more

Went like 40 minutes before closing and were still served promptly (we got takeout). I got the California club wrap with no bacon, it was pretty good. My husband got the tuna melt and it wasn't bad, but it was less tuna and more sauce. Bring back the old chips!!! These chips just take like regular chips I can buy at the store. Plus, we barely got any chips on the side and the portions are small. read more

Great selection of food and lattes and smoothies. Very quaint, artistic, coffee shop atmosphere.

Food is usually just ok. Smoothies are good. Today: I ordered a Dirty Chai with 3x shots of espresso in it. It took about 10 minutes and there were no customers in the place. Then they used syrup for it and no chai spices/cream. It was horrible. I drank it because I needed to wake up but I will not go in there for that again. read more

The BEST! This is always my go-to for a breakfast panini and morning smoothie! Anytime I can get a chance to comes out this way I will! Keep it up! read more

Juice & Java - Breakfast panini and smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

First time visit. Upon entry, found it to be very dark and dingy with loud music. Almost wanted to make a U-turn. Ordered their strawberry fields salad. It was nothing but a container full of spinach topped with a few sliced strawberries and walnuts. Had to dig to find the sliver of cukes and onion. A complete waste of $11.59 for a 'bag' of spinach. read more

I used to live in camp hill so I've come here for years. The establishment is simply going downhill. Ordered quiche, Fresh Cut Fruit Salad, buffalo chicken wrap and a coffee. Quiche was good, no complaints (albeit the portion is significantly smaller than a last time I was here). Buffalo chicken wrap was very underwhelming. Can't put my finger on it but i didn't finish it because it was not appetizing. Coffee - tasted fine. WAY better than any diner coffee you'll ever have. "Fresh cut fruit salad" - I put this in quotes because I do not consider canned fruit to be fresh cut! There was about 3/4 canned Mandarin oranges and a couple random slices of apple and strawberry. I actually re-downloaded the yelp app just to leave this review. read more

Excellent smoothies, excellent, fresh salads My daughter & I ordered dinner tonight and absolutely loved the chicken Caesar salad and our smoothies Girls who prepared and gave us our order were polite Can't wait to go back read more

I've had the smoothies and coffee before and they were both really good; this time I had the panini house special and it was amazing. The cheese, eggs w/spinach and ham melted in my mouth with every bite. The sandwich was fresh, filling and super tasty. The staff is friendly and despite having a pretty good crowd I received my panini in a short time. The restaurant is clean and relaxing. There are multiple places to sit. I prefer this place for breakfast and lunch to any nearby spots. read more

I like this coffee, sandwiches and cakes. Especially I like the key lime cheesecake. It is really tasty,because it is less sweetened. read more

The food and smoothies are great. I think the service is a little slow. Been there many times, sat inside pre-COVID and it's a cute little cafe. Lately have been getting take-out, no issues. Recommend! read more

just paid 16 bucks for a salad with inedible hard chunks of avocado in it and they forgot the chicken. huge bummer, now I gotta go to saladworks cause there I can at least save some money on lettuce and disappointment read more

My son and I like trying coffee and food from different places so we drove an hour to try this place. My son ordered Vanilla cafe latte and a chicken Caesar wrap. I asked for a caramel latte no whip with almond milk and a sundried spinach melt with no Chipotle...I especially requested NO Chipotle and was told they could do that. We got our food and then our drinks. We both wanted HOT lattes however one was cold and I kept sipping my hot caramel latte thinking it was the worst I'd ever had. Only to discover once we got home the awful hot caramel I was sipping was my sons vanilla latte. Then I take a bite of my NO Chipotle sandwich to discover my mouth on fire from having it generously slathered all over the sandwich. Now I will say...the chips were awesome and the only thing I enjoyed read more

When I was in college in Mechanicsburg, I visited Juice and Java regularly with one of my close friends. It became a staple of my time living in Central Pennsylvania, and every time I come back to visit, I always stop by! This is a cute little cafe with lots of choices for both food and drink. They have wraps, paninis and salads, all of which are generous portions with fresh, quality ingredients. They also offer a large selection of smoothies and specialty coffee drinks. My friend usually gets the Green Machine smoothie, and I tend to alternate between the Tea-Licious and Berry Furious. For food, I have tried their salads several times, as well as the California Club wrap. Their freshly baked cookies are amazing, too! I have always had a pleasant experience and I love all of the nice memories I have here! read more

I just tried Juice & Java for the first time and was beyond pleased with my experience! Not only were the food & beverages really delicious, but the customer service was impeccable. I ordered the "Royale With Cheese" burger and a citrus avocado salad, and my friend (who has been there many times and recommended we stop in) ordered their Cuban sandwich. We also had an orange smoothie & a vanilla iced latte. The food, coffee, and smoothie were all BOMB!!! I could have used a little more cheese on the burger, but i appreciated their unique take on a burger and would definitely order it again. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, i notice and appreciate how professional & appreciative their team was. Simple things like saying "thank you" to each customer, and then telling us, "we really appreciate you guys coming in!" are things that add to the experience AND demonstrate that these owners & staff take great pride in their business. Overall a great experience and i will definitely be coming back.... possibly even tomorrow! read more

The challenge here is consistency. Sometimes it is good and other times it's just mediocre. Outside of the food, smoothies and coffee is this fanatical need to play news, talk shows, true crime or satellite music too loudly. If you are going to roll the dice, eat a chocolate chip cookie, or cinnamon roll. The Godfather with jalapeños is good. Walnut strawberry salad is good. Breakfast in general is weak. Coffee is overly sweet and 7 out of 10 times the smoothies are a let down. read more

My first time at this fun cafe. Very cute and cozy decor. A mixture of cafe tables, computer stations and lounge chairs/sofas. The menu has quite a variety. I tried a wrap, potato soup, and a Reece's peanut butter cup latte. The service was quick and friendly and the food came up rather quickly. The drink took over 10 minutes. The wrap was rather basic but the soup was good. I would recommend this place for a quick coffee meetup, a study date, or a quiet solo reading session. read more

This is one of my favorite places to grab lunch. They have amazing tuna melts & excellent smoothies. My go to is the Mo-jo. The atmosphere is super cozy with dim lighting. There is also some outdoor seating available seasonally. The service can be a bit slow but it's worth it. read more

Juice & Java - Tuna Melt. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

What a cute little cafe! The decor is kitchy and fun, your typical coffee shop atmosphere. They offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, and paninis. But the star of this place, in my opinion, are the smoothies. You can pretty much get them to be made any way you'd like but they have a bunch of different kinds put together on their menu if you can't decide. I love peanut butter and banana and I asked if they could whip me up a smoothie with peanut butter and banana and it was PERFECT!! Kind of reminded me of a dairy queen sundae but not as heavy. I sucked it down and wanted more! I will return for more smoothie goodness. read more

I spilled 3 smoothies outside on my way out and went back in to kindly inform the staff that it happened, only to be met with "you can't get another unless you pay for them". I NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR ANOTHER ONE. I had an entire smoothie spilled down my front and it was at the front entrance and I was simply informing them that it happened at the front door. I was delivering for doordash and needed to take the order to a customer. I understand not remaking the drinks (although not really because ANY business at least offers that) but they didn't even offer me a napkin to clean up, nothing. The staff was extremely rude. Good thing I wasn't spending my money here because I definitely never will. I've never been to a business who treats people that way, especially a small one. read more

I live 5 minutes from this little gem! I am obsessed with the strawberry colada smoothies! I treat myself at least once a week! The atmosphere is relaxed with low lighting, a great place to have a quick bite that's homemade, healthy and bursting with flavor. The wild berry scone is homemade and perfect. Don't miss out on this place :) read more

Lately i have enjoyed their wraps because of their wide variety. Coffee isn't to my liking, smoothies are supposedly a big deal, but i'm not a huge fan. Always busy, nice little atmosphere for mechanicsburg I suppose. Update-I have to move this up to 3 stars because it IS Mechanicsburg NOT NYC, so I can't be too harsh. And I normally stick with Caribbean Dawn smoothie (tastes like peaches and cream) and California wrap. read more

Note: this rating is for the smoothies ONLY. Order the key lime pie smoothie, but don't blame me when you're there every day until you're broke. That was me on my last trip. These drinks are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, are super smooth (no ice chunks) and perfectly refreshing no matter what time of year. They also flavor their own coffee--you can get pounds made-to-order, but it takes a few days. read more
