Juice Bar Near Me in North Miami Beach: Miami Squeeze Since 1988

Miami Squeeze squeezes its juices to order at 18315 West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach, open every day from 8am to 9pm according to its own Square business listing. Most juices and smoothies on the online menu are priced from $12 to $14, and the store's description says it has been in North Miami since 1988. Anyone typing juice bar near me between Aventura and the Oleta River ends up here sooner or later, usually for a Liquid Salad and a falafel pita.

The shop describes itself as Miami's oldest spot for juices, smoothies and healthy food, and says it has been in North Miami since 1988, long before pressed juice became a Miami Beach fashion item. That is the shop's own claim rather than a dated public record, but the menu reads like a place that grew by adding what regulars asked for. Juice came first, then smoothies, then a full Mediterranean kitchen with pitas, platters and shakshuka.

What you get today is part juice bar and part neighborhood cafe. The online catalog runs to 182 items, from wheatgrass to schnitzel, and much of the meat is labeled kosher style, which tells you a lot about the families who eat here. The store's description promises juices made daily with locally sourced, organic ingredients, and the counter still squeezes everything to order rather than pulling bottles from a fridge.

Liquid Salad is the name to remember. It is cucumber, carrot, spinach, ginger, celery, beet, broccoli, apple, orange and lemon all squeezed into one cup, which is ten ingredients and tastes more like a garden than a dessert. Green Madness goes further into greens with spinach, celery, kale, lemon, pineapple, broccoli, cucumber and apple. Midnight Express is the earthy one, carrot, celery, beet and lemon, with nothing sweet to soften it.

For something brighter, Vitamin C blends pineapple, orange, lemon, grapefruit and ginger, and Fat Burner pairs pineapple and celery with mint and grapefruit. Cleanout is apple, ginger, carrot and beet, and Carrot Delight is simply carrot and orange. If none of them fits, Mind My Business lets you build your own juice from up to four fruits or vegetables, starting at $13, with the menu's cheerful warning that you mix at your own risk.

The shot list is short and serious. A 2-ounce ginger shot is $7, and the 4-ounce versions are $8 each: the Flu Shot adds lemon and honey to ginger, Fuego adds pineapple and cayenne, and Gucci mixes ginger with pineapple and honey. Doctor Squeeze is the gentle one, coconut milk, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and honey. Wheatgrass comes as a 1.5-ounce shot of fresh-cut grass, also $8.

Smoothies outnumber juices on the board. Messi Miami blends banana, mango, spinach, raspberries and protein powder, while Miami Vice keeps to banana, orange and strawberry. The house lemonades are $12 for 16 ounces and are sweetened with sugar, which is worth knowing before you order one expecting a cleanse: Limonana mixes lemon, orange, pineapple and mint, and the Mango Lemonade swaps in mango. The acai bowl, with seasonal fruit, coconut flakes, granola and honey, is $18.

The kitchen is why many regulars come back. The Miami's Best Falafel Pita is $18, stuffed with lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber and homemade hummus, and five falafel on their own are $11. Old-Fashioned Hummus with chickpeas and olive oil is $12. Breakfast runs from shakshuka at $16 to the Mediterranean Breakfast Platter at $20, with two eggs, four falafel, hummus, Israeli salad and pita.

You order and pay at the counter, and the store's online ordering page quotes a 15-minute prep time for pickup. The official pickup instruction is plain: pick up at the counter and have your order number and name ready. Online pickup runs until 8:40pm, twenty minutes before closing, and delivery is offered to nearby ZIP codes. Ordering direct through the shop's own site avoids third-party delivery apps.

The crowd is a cross-section of the neighborhood. Expect gym regulars grabbing a Post Work Out smoothie with kale, spinach and protein, parents from the surrounding blocks picking up pitas for the family, and older customers ordering the same carrot juice they have had for years. The online menu also lists hookah at $35 and bucket deals of Corona, Heineken and Stella beer, so evenings feel more like a hangout than a health-food stop.

Skip the lemonades if you came for a clean juice; they are sweetened with sugar and cost as much as a ten-vegetable Liquid Salad. Skip the acai bowl too, unless you are hungry, since $18 buys a full falafel platter here. The juices are the reason to come. Weekday mornings are the easiest time to visit, while lunch and early evening are when pita orders stack up and the wait stretches past fifteen minutes.

If you would rather drink something by the water, take your cup to a park instead of sitting at the counter. If you want a broader cold-pressed menu in bottles, Carrot Express runs locations across Miami-Dade, including one on Bay Road in Sunset Harbour. Miami Squeeze is the better choice when you want a juice squeezed while you watch and a hot falafel pita in the same order.

West Dixie Highway runs parallel to Biscayne Boulevard through the old Ojus area of North Miami Beach. A short drive south on the same road brings you to the Ancient Spanish Monastery, whose 12th-century cloisters were shipped from Spain by William Randolph Hearst. Its website says it is always closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and is frequently closed for church events, and it posts a monthly calendar of open days.

Heading north instead, Aventura Mall sits on Biscayne Boulevard a few minutes away by car, and Oleta River State Park, the largest urban park in Florida, lies to the south-east off Northeast 163rd Street. A Green Madness travels well for either trip. If you are on foot, the immediate stretch is mostly low-rise shops and parking lots, so treat the juice bar as a destination rather than a walking crawl.

Address: 18315 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, FL 33160. Hours per the store's Square listing: Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm, with online pickup orders until 8:40pm. Juices and smoothies are listed from $12 to $14, ginger shots $7, falafel pita $18. Order at the counter or online for pickup or delivery; the menu labels much of the meat kosher style.
