Juice Bar Near Me in Coral Gables: Gables Juice Bar on Almeria

Gables Juice Bar & Muscle Pizza only opens on weekdays: Monday to Friday from 7am to 4pm at 230 Almeria Ave in Coral Gables, closed Saturday and Sunday, according to its own website. Every 20-ounce smoothie on its official Toast menu is $10, and a ginger shot is $5.25. If you search juice bar near me between Miracle Mile and Ponce de Leon Boulevard, this is the small, old-school counter three blocks south of the Mile that office workers have used for three decades.

Miami New Times named Gables Juice Bar the city's Best Juice Bar in 2006 and wrote then that it had been open for twelve years, which places the opening around 1994. The paper credited owner Fernando Lopez with the brightly colored paintings on the walls and quoted co-owner Belkys Lopez: when we first opened here, there was nothing. A 2023 Yelp reviewer wrote that the owners had since retired and their kids had taken over.

The room is the same kind of place New Times described. Expect framed gangster-movie posters, colorful twirling mobiles hanging from the ceiling and hand-painted glass bottles in the front window, a deliberately cluttered look in a neighborhood of polished Mediterranean Revival offices. A June 2026 Yelp review called it old-school Miami with retro decorations, and several regulars mention that the staff remember their order after a couple of visits.

The smoothie board reads like a parking garage. Bentley is strawberry and banana, M.Benz adds pineapple to the same pair, and Porsche is mango and banana. Ferrari is simply strawberries, PMS combines pineapple, mango and strawberry, and Mr. Berry Blue mixes blueberry and strawberry. The website lists them as non-dairy 20-ounce smoothies, and each one is $10 on the shop's Toast ordering page.

A few smoothies are built for a purpose rather than a color. Over Rover blends coconut water, pineapple, banana and ginger. King Arthritis pairs banana and pineapple with cinnamon and oatmeal, and Prostate of Mind is avocado, spinach and pineapple. Ask for a scoop of protein if you are coming from the gym; the website lists one scoop at 30 grams of protein and 120 calories, and posts approximate calories and carbs for every smoothie.

The vegetable and fruit juices come in 20-ounce cups. Mixed Veggie is carrot, beet, spinach, celery and ginger, and Gabby's Green is spinach, celery, apple, ginger and cucumber. The lemonade is made with apples, lemon and ginger, and on Toast the ginger lemonade is listed as apple, lime and ginger for $10. The ginger shot, ginger and lime, is $5.25, and it is the quickest thing to order at the counter.

The website lists the sweeteners you can add and what each one costs in calories. A tablespoon of sugar adds 50 calories, honey adds 60, and Truvia and Splenda add none. That kind of labeling runs through the whole menu, and it is a big part of why the shop has a following among people tracking macros. A 2023 Yelp reviewer who has been coming for years named carrot juice with a chicken wrap as his order.

The second half of the name matters. The protein-heavy muscle pizzas are $14.25 on Toast for most toppings: Angel is turkey picadillo, Jimmy is shredded chicken with a barbecue drizzle, Que Bola is turkey meatballs and cheese, and Munchy skips the sauce for cheese with a guava drizzle. A July 2026 reviewer noted 40 grams of protein in the pizza. The cheese pizza special is $9.99.

The wraps are $11.65, with Cuban fillings such as El Tony, which is turkey picadillo with rice and maduros, and Dade, picadillo with rice and cheese. Egg-white wraps and plates are $10.45, the egg-white pancakes with oatmeal and peanut butter are $10.25, and the Dr. Bubbles English muffin is $8.25. Coffee is Cuban: a 2% cafe con leche is $3.95, a cortadito $3.25 and a colada $3.50.

You order at the counter in a small room, and New Times described a steady stream of office workers back in 2006; one regular in 2025 said he comes every day for the protein pizza. The website lists a $10 minimum for credit cards and a delivery charge of $1.50 to $3.00 nearby. Online pickup orders through Toast start at 7:15am. Because the shop closes on weekends, Friday is the last chance to grab a smoothie until Monday.

Recent reviews are mostly warm but not uniform. An August 2026 reviewer loved a strawberry banana smoothie and the staff; an October 2026 reviewer was unhappy with an egg-white plate that came out like a salad. The safe order is the thing in the name: a car smoothie or a fresh juice, with a muscle pizza or a picadillo wrap if you want lunch.

Almeria Avenue sits three blocks south of Miracle Mile and half a block west of Ponce de Leon Boulevard, according to the shop's own directions. Walk north on Ponce and you reach the Coral Gables Museum at 285 Aragon Avenue, housed in the city's former police and fire station. Continue to Miracle Mile for its run of shops, bridal boutiques and restaurants between Douglas Road and LeJeune Road.

Giralda Plaza, the pedestrian restaurant street one block north of Miracle Mile, is a good stop if you finish your juice and want somewhere to sit outside. Coral Gables City Hall, at 405 Biltmore Way where Miracle Mile meets LeJeune Road, is worth a look for its 1928 Spanish Renaissance facade. The whole loop from the juice bar is under a mile and easy on foot before the heat sets in.

Smoothies and shakes are $10, the ginger shot $5.25, wraps $11.65 and most muscle pizzas $14.25. Order at the counter or online through Toast for pickup or delivery; credit cards need a $10 minimum.
