This juice bar was exactly the visit we needed on a hot summer day! Came by on our way to the riverfront, and I ordered an Avocado Colada (#7) which was sooo good. A lot of folks were coming in to order piña coladas. There's not that much seating, only four seats or so, but we were able to find some seats and enjoy the air conditioning while sipping on our drinks for about 15 min or so. The employees were very friendly and our drinks didn't take too long to prepare. There's also a pretty extensive menu of drink options. I'd try the piña colada next time! read more

Vela Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Queens, New York

Great little juice bar few blocks away from Astoria Park. This place is small but does have some seating inside and the staff is very nice and helpful! I got the small size peanut butter bowl and it was excellent. I didn't eat it right away maybe about 10-15 minutes later and the açaí itself was still in almost frozen not melted or anything. All fruits were fresh and tasted great. I would definitely come back here and try the rest of their bowls and smoothies! read more

My son and I were in the mood for smoothies so stopped here. They have several smoothie options from green smoothies, to fruit smoothies. I ordered their avocado smoothie which had pineapple, avocado, spinach and coconut. It was perfect, not too sweet but very filling. The smoothies are a bit pricey from $6-8 depending on the size. My son ordered a piña colada which he really enjoyed. If you're in the Astoria area, you should try out their smoothies. read more

This a is a nice neighborhood business. I ordered the Almond Butter Açaí Bowl. The fruit was very fresh and bright. The small size was more than enough, and I paid $11 after tax. There was a line when I entered with one person working behind the counter. It did not take long for my order to be taken and prepared, which was surprising for the amount of people in line. I would come back again for another bowl or a smoothie! read more

Vela Juice Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Queens, New York

Easily the Best juice, smoothie, acai bowl spot in the area. The lady running the show does it all and she is a magician behind the counter. I try to come atleast once every 2 weeks. My goal is to try the entire menu, because she is that good. So far my favorites are the watermelon lychee and the sweet spin (lychee mixed with greens). The inside is extremely relaxing as well while you wait for your drinks. Plants and soothing music playing at all times. Definitely a top business that deserves more love. read more

Have come here a few times after finding this gem of a place! We love getting our açaí bowls here. Quick, great price and tons of açaí and fresh fruit. Service is quick and everyone is so kind.

My favorite place for smoothies, boba tea and juices. The owners are super friendly and genuinely seem to be appreciative for your business. The prices are very fair as well. I recommend the açaí bowl; giant bowl of açaí, topped with granola, strawberries, mango and chia seeds. read more

I've been to Vela Juice Bar twice already. I like how it's a little corner shop with a myriad of smoothie options, as well as bubble tea options. The first time I went in, I ordered a berry and banana smoothie, which was so delicious. As I was waiting, the woman behind the counter, gave me a small sample of another type of smoothie. I thought that was very sweet of her. And because that sample tasted so good, the next time I went in, I ordered that sample. This is a great smoothie and bubble tea spot for all! read more

Vela Juice Bar - a hand holding a green drink - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Queens, New York

Amazing smoothies, juices and bowls. I love this place and have been here twice. The lady I interacted with both times is so kind and welcoming and makes beautiful açai bowls and smoothies. I can tell that the fruit she uses is actually fresh. I bought a smoothie yesterday (I think the mango passion fruit lychee one) and the large size was only $6 which is shocking in 2023. I will definitely be back to try some more! read more

Very popular and busy neighborhood spot with a pretty good selection. Everything comes out the perfect texture and ice cold. Standard vegetable selections, not as many as you have at health juice stands (e.g. no broccoli, leek, bok choy), but wider variety of fruits. Long menu of combination options. Additions like spirulina, vitamin C, etc. There's no wheatgrass at the moment. read more

We have been going there since we moved into the neighborhood my daughter loves there bubble tea and there juices are on point

This is my new spot to get acai bowls now!! The owner, Vela makes the best bowls and smoothies. It's embarrassing how many times I've went here for the past month. Many places that sell acai bowls are very inconsistent with the texture but this place never seems to fail. It's not overly sweet or too icy. I normally get the almond butter acai bowl and I love how she spreads the almond butter, giving it a layer so that with every scoop, you taste everything. The smoothies are also delicious! I have nothing bad to say about this spot. Also, the price point is great read more

Vela should be officially named the new queen of Astoria. Without a doubt the best açaí and smoothies in the entire city. Sweetest lady ever with extremely reasonable prices and the freshest ingredients. read more

as i walked inside vela juice bar i knew exactly what i wanted and nothing against the healthy juice drinks available and acai bowls , health smoothies and other health beverages, no i want the traditional mixed fruit smoothie large for 8 bucks and its a wrap.i hit the spot as my tummy is full and no fast food which is the complete opposite of this joint.plenty of drinks to choose from and the acai fruit bowls look good , especially the one with sliced bananas all around the bowl with assorted fruits in the middle .place gets 4 stars on my yelp meter . read more

Vela's is always kind and welcoming with a lovely smile. She is always kind to apologize for anyone who has to wait but that's what happens when you have many loyal customers. Her smoothies are addicting and has a wide range of great options. Yum!!! read more

I work 12 hour shifts near here and I'm always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I've tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. read more

Freshest smoothies. The owner and staff are the sweetest!! Always so helpful and welcoming. Love coming here and grabbing drinks.
