Juice Bar Near Me in Nolita: Juice Press on Mott Street

Juice Press runs a narrow store at 250 Mott Street, on the block between East Houston and Prince in Nolita, and on its own ordering site a 16-ounce Mother Earth, the brand's top-selling green juice of dark leafy greens, dandelion and ginger, costs $11.99. If you typed juice bar near me somewhere between SoHo and the Bowery, this is the closest Juice Press still pouring: the SoHo shop at 156 Prince Street shows as temporarily closed and has stopped taking online orders, while Nolita (store JP04) is open seven days.

Marcus Antebi opened the first Juice Press in 2010 at 70 East 1st Street in the East Village, selling raw, organic cold-pressed juice to a neighborhood that was not yet used to paying double digits for a bottle of kale. That original shop was damaged during looting in June 2020 and never reopened, and Antebi is no longer involved with the company, according to EV Grieve's October 2025 report on the chain's last East Village store.

At its peak the company had more than 80 shops in seven states. Today the store locator lists roughly two dozen, most of them in Manhattan, plus Boston and a Las Vegas outpost. The Mott Street branch is one of the survivors in lower Manhattan, sitting among the boutiques and espresso bars that fill the blocks around Elizabeth and Mulberry, a short walk from the Prince Street and Broadway–Lafayette stations.

The cold-pressed bottles live in the glass fridges along the wall, and the prices on the Nolita page of the Juice Press ordering site are clear. Mother Earth is $11.99, Doctor Green, a greener blend with fruit and ginger, is $11.50, and the Ginger Fireball, ginger and cayenne cut with orange juice, is $10. For a smaller jolt, the Rehab Shot of ginger, lemon and cayenne is $5.99 and disappears in two sips.

Made-to-order drinks come from the blender behind the counter. The Blue Magic smoothie mixes blue spirulina, plant protein, cinnamon, maca, vanilla, almond butter, banana, flax and almond milk, and costs $12.99 for 16 ounces or $16.48 for 24. Clean Green, with spinach, kale, chia, almond butter and dates, is the same price. If you want something to chew, the Acai Blueberry Bowl is $13.99 and includes three free toppings.

Understanding the two lines saves time. The bottled juices are pressed in advance and treated with high-pressure processing, which the company's FAQ says gives them a shelf life of about 20 to 30 days, so grabbing one from the fridge takes seconds. Smoothies and bowls are built to order, which is where the wait comes from when a few people are ahead of you.

Regulars who want a quick lunch-hour stop usually grab a bottle and pay, then walk on. If you came for a smoothie, order ahead on the Juice Press site and walk in when it is ready. The Nolita page notes free delivery on orders over $30, handy if you are working nearby, and the brand's loyalty program awards 2 points per dollar in store and online, though not through third-party delivery apps.

The store locator lists weekday hours of 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and weekend hours of 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and the online ordering cutoff on a recent Friday was 5:20 pm, so this is a morning and afternoon stop rather than an after-work one. Arriving before 10 am on a Saturday means the fridges are full and there is space at the counter.

One honest note: the juice is expensive for its size, and food writers who cover Nolita's juice scene call this location a staple on the pricier side. If you only want a ginger kick, skip the 16-ounce Fireball and buy the Rehab Shot instead. If the counter is crowded and you just need a cold bottle, the Hudson Square branch at 375 Hudson Street is the next Juice Press heading west.

Juice Press is also a cleanse company, and the Nolita page sells several programs for pickup or delivery. The Original Juice Cleanse is $61.95, the one-day New You Cleanse is $55.99, the three-day Liquid Reset is $215, and the five-day Gut Health program is $364. Each bundles bottles you collect in one trip, so order a day ahead rather than expecting a full set to be sitting in the fridge.

Not everything is liquid. The gluten-free Chocolate Chip Gladiator Cookies, sweetened without refined sugar, come in a six-pack for $6.99 and are the item people tend to add at the register. Loyalty points expire after 12 months, according to the company FAQ, so occasional visitors should not expect a large balance to build up. Bring a tote if you are buying several bottles.

Practically next door, the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral at 263 Mulberry Street has an entrance on Mott between Houston and Prince. NYC Tourism lists it as open from 8 am to 6 pm. Its brick walls and walled churchyard are Nolita's quiet center; the graveyards themselves are only open on the cathedral's paid catacomb tours, so admire them from the sidewalk.

From there, walk south on Mott to Prince Street and turn west. Cross Lafayette and Broadway into SoHo, and about six blocks from the juice bar you reach 134 Prince Street, where McNally Jackson moved its flagship bookstore in 2023. Finish your juice on the walk, recycle the bottle, and head back toward the Prince Street station for the R and W trains.
