Juice Bar Near Me in Miami: Just Juice MIA on NW 37th Street

Just Juice MIA sells every 16-ounce cold-pressed juice for $12, bottled in glass, from a small shop at 201 NW 37th St in Miami. The counter is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm and Saturday from 9am to 4pm, and it is closed on Sundays. If you are typing juice bar near me around the Design District or Midtown, this is a press shop rather than a smoothie chain: the juice is raw, unpasteurized and, in the founders' words, never HPP.

The shop's About page introduces the owners simply as Michael and Auri and says Just Juice was founded in 2020. Their reason is spelled out plainly: having two little boys changed how they looked at what their family ate and drank, and they wanted to make cold-pressed juice for their own kids first. The name is the promise. The site says the juices contain no water, sugar, preservatives or added sweeteners, so they are just juice.

The equipment is part of the pitch. The owners say they use only Goodnature cold-press machines, which grind produce into pulp and then squeeze it under thousands of pounds of pressure, and that they skip high-pressure processing entirely. That is why the bottles have a short life, and why the shop asks you to call ahead for contactless pickup rather than promising a fridge full of stock at every hour of the day.

The juice list is short enough to learn in one visit. Glow Up is gala apple, cucumber, lettuce, celery and lemon, the easy green for first-timers. Verde goes further with pineapple, gala apple, kale, spinach, cilantro and lime. Miami Heat is orange, ginger and pineapple, and OC is just orange and carrot. Each of these is a 16-ounce bottle at $12, and the online store marks blends out of stock when the day's batch runs out.

The two juices that feel most like Miami are Coco Melon and Beetle Juice. Coco Melon is nothing but seeded watermelon and raw coconut water, pressed together into a pale pink bottle that tastes best cold on a hot afternoon. Beetle Juice blends beets, gala apple, carrot, cucumber and lemon, earthy but softened by the apple. Both are $12. On a recent check of the shop's online store, Verde and OC were both marked out of stock.

Two 2-ounce shots round out the press menu, each $5. Wake Up Call is ginger and lime, sharp enough to clear your sinuses, and Just Beet It is beets, ginger and lemon. They come in small glass bottles like the juices, which makes them easy to knock back at the counter or tuck into a bag. If you want a gentler start, order Miami Heat instead; it has the same ginger but with orange and pineapple.

The kitchen applies the no-water rule to everything it blends. The organic acai bowl, $14, is blended with gala apple and cold-pressed apple juice, then topped with strawberries, banana, blueberries, pineapple, chia seeds, hemp seeds and granola. The pitaya bowl gets the same toppings and the same price, blended with cold-pressed apple juice. Chia pudding made with oat milk and topped with pineapple, blueberries, hemp seeds and granola is $11.

Three 16-ounce smoothies are listed at $12 each. TropiKale blends cold-pressed apple juice with pineapple, kale, spinach, lime and banana. Very Berry uses raw coconut water, strawberries, dates, blueberries, raspberry and banana. Sunset Sherbert is fresh-squeezed orange juice with mango, pineapple, strawberry and banana, the sweetest of the three. Overnight oats in oat milk with strawberries, blueberries, chia, hemp seeds and granola are $11.

The detox packs are built from the six blends. The 1-Day Detox includes six 16-ounce juices, one of each blend, plus a Wake Up Call shot, a tea and a lime; it is listed at $70 and was marked down to $59.50 in the online store this October. The 3-Day Detox repeats that routine for three days with 18 juices at a listed $210, and the 5-Day Detox has 30 juices at a listed $350.

The detail that matters is lead time. The product pages ask customers to allow up to three business days for any detox order, so plan the start date of a cleanse around that rather than walking in on a Monday expecting a full pack.

The founders tie the juice to a sustainability routine that is easy to see at the counter. Every juice goes into a glass bottle, with no plastic, and the site says all the pulp left over from pressing is recycled into compost. Bags and packaging are paper or recyclable. The produce, according to the About page, comes from local farmers and distributors wherever the owners can find them, which partly explains why some blends sell out.

Just Juice also runs a Saturday stall at the Coconut Grove Farmers Market at 3300 Grand Avenue, from 10am to 3pm according to the shop's site. That makes Saturday the one day you can find the juice in two places: the 37th Street shop opens at 9am, and the Grove stall runs through the middle of the day. If you live south of downtown, the market stall saves you the drive north.

The shop sits a couple of blocks west of North Miami Avenue, on the edge of the Miami Design District. Walk east and north and you reach the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, at 61 NE 41st St, which is free and open Wednesday to Sunday from 11am to 6pm, and the de la Cruz Collection at 23 NE 41st St, a private contemporary art space. South of 36th Street is Midtown Miami, with its shops and restaurants around North Miami Avenue.

A good way to use the shop is as the first stop of a gallery morning. Pick up a Coco Melon at 8am on a weekday, walk the Design District streets, reach ICA Miami when it opens at 11am on Wednesdays to Fridays, and keep a Wake Up Call shot for later. Go on a Saturday and you can grab a bottle here at 9am, then drive south to Coconut Grove for the market stall and a walk along Grand Avenue.
