Juice Bar Near Me in Los Feliz: Juice Crafters on Griffith Park

Juice Crafters opens at 6:30 am, earlier than most juice counters in town, and its Los Feliz branch at 2718 Griffith Park Boulevard has no seats inside, just a couple of benches out front. The green juice regulars order, #3.0 Mother Earth, is $10.75 pressed fresh on the store's Toast menu. For anyone searching juice bar near me on the Los Feliz and Silver Lake border before work, this shop in the Gelson's center at Hyperion Avenue is the early option.

Juice Crafters calls itself family-owned on its website and says it cold-presses every day without pasteurizing or using high-pressure processing, the HPP step many grocery bottles go through to last for weeks. The site also claims an 80-year-old cold-press method. In 2013 the Daily Trojan profiled the business as family-run, named David Nia as owner and manager, and reported stores in Brentwood and Pacific Palisades plus a newly opened downtown shop.

Today the company lists eight Los Angeles locations, and Los Feliz is one of the neighborhood ones rather than a destination flagship. That matters for what you get: a short, efficient counter where the person pressing your juice is also the one ringing it up, not a lounge with a matcha program.

Mother Earth, numbered #3.0 on the board, is kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, lemon and ginger with apple juice to round it out. Pressed to order it is $10.75; grab-and-go bottles are $9.00 when the fridge has them in stock. #16 Malibu's Fave is just watermelon and mint at $9.95, the most refreshing thing on the list on a hot Hyperion afternoon and a good choice for anyone who finds green juice too grassy.

Smoothies come in 16-ounce and 24-ounce cups, and the site lists the upsize at $1.50. The Silver Cup is the bargain at $10.50, a blend of almond milk, banana, walnuts, dates and kale. Green Soul is $12.50 and adds pineapple, celery, spinach, spirulina and turmeric to apple juice and banana. Wake Me Up, $12.99, blends coffee with almond milk, banana, cacao, almond butter, cinnamon, dates, chaga and vanilla, so it doubles as breakfast and caffeine.

Every month the shop features a smoothie of the month, and for October 2026 it is the Frankenstein at $11.00. It is green for the season, mixing apple juice, spinach, kale and chia with mango sorbet, pineapple and strawberries. The sorbet makes it sweeter and thicker than the regular green blends, closer to a dessert than a cleanse, so think of it as an afternoon treat.

The Acai Classic Bowl, $12.35, is the only bowl worth the stop: acai and banana topped with banana, strawberry, almond granola and coconut. The Immunity Defender shot is $4.95 and hits hard with lemon, ginger, cayenne, turmeric and oregano oil. Order the shot only if you like heat; the oregano oil lingers, and the watermelon juice is the gentler way to feel better.

Juice Crafters shares the parking lot with Gelson's. The spaces right in front of the shop carry a 15-minute limit, which reviewers in 2023 and 2025 both mention and which is just enough to run in for a juice. Online orders on Toast are pickup only and as-soon-as-possible, with a 20 to 25 minute estimate in October 2026, so you cannot schedule a 6:30 am pickup the night before.

Lines are rarely the issue here. An August 2025 reviewer wrote that there are never three customers at a time, even on weekends, which makes this a reliable stop when bigger juice bars on Sunset Boulevard are slammed. One complaint from October 2026 mentioned loud music and a closed door on arrival, so if you come right at opening and the door is shut, give it a minute.

The main Juice Crafters website shows a single menu for all eight shops, and several of its prices are higher than the ones the Los Feliz store charges on its own Toast page. The figures in this article come from the Los Feliz Toast menu, so they match what you pay at 2718 Griffith Park Boulevard. Toast also shows which bottles are sold out before you leave home, useful because a few of the cold-pressed bottles were out of stock in mid-October.

The company also runs a rewards program, promoted on its website, which adds up if this becomes your weekday stop. If you only come once, skip it and spend the time on the walk below instead.

There is no seating inside, only a couple of benches outside the door, so plan to take your cup with you. The shop is small enough that a juice takes a few minutes at most when nobody is ahead of you. Because the benches face the parking lot, this is a stop for drinking on the move rather than for a slow morning with a friend.

Gelson's Silver Lake, at 2725 Hyperion Avenue in the same center, stands on the site of Walt Disney's Hyperion Avenue studio, where the company made its early cartoons before moving to Burbank around 1940. Nothing of the studio remains, but it is a fun fact to share over a juice. Gelson's is also the plan B if Juice Crafters is out of a bottle you wanted: its produce and prepared-food aisles are steps away.

From the center, walk south on Hyperion Avenue toward Silver Lake, or north along Griffith Park Boulevard through the residential streets where Los Feliz meets Silver Lake. The sidewalks are flat for the first few blocks, which is plenty for finishing a 16-ounce cup before the morning heat sets in.
