Quench your thirst with a refreshing smoothie or juice in any one of these excellent juice and smoothie joints in Mexico City. A city which loves its aguas frescas, juguerías (juice bars) are all the rage, whether they’re in local markets or upscale locales in La Roma. Either way there’s something to suit every taste and budget; read on for more.

Another highly recommended and reputable smoothie bar in Mexico City is Café Garko, which offers combos both with and without yogurt although each is just as delicious as the last. They also serve sandwiches and salads all of which are named after Mexican archaeological sites and birds, respectively. If you want some history and culture with your smoothie then this is the place to be; our pick is the Alamak (mango, strawberry, orange and pineapple).

2. Café Vida

One of Mexico’s best juice bars is Café Vida, which dedicates itself to the production and sale of healthy, all-natural products. Accompany your smoothie – they have eleven to choose from in total – with a plate of chilaquilesor a breakfast sandwich. As is to be expected from a place such as this, their drinks boast a range of extra properties that go beyond just ‘tasting nice’; for example, some are designed to help clear acne prone skin and others are filled with protein.

3. La Zumería

Raw juice bars are all the rage nowadays, so it’s no surprise that trendy Roma plays host to one. La Zumería (zumois the Peninsular Spanish equivalent of jugo,or juice) specialises in healthy and tasty flavour combinations that’ll leave you feeling revitalised. Owned by a nutritionist, the menu is divided according to fruit and vegetable content. Although it’s small in size it’s huge in reputation and well worth a visit for health buffs and juice fans who want their fix in Mexico City.

4. Flor de Viento

Not exclusively a juice and smoothie joint, Flor de Viento also serves healthy and specialty foods such as gluten free and vegan options, as well as organic grains, fruits and vegetables. However, their cold press juice bar is exceptional and should definitely be checked out if you’re on the hunt for a refreshing pick-me-up in the Mexican capital. All their fruits come from organic orchards and are pressed daily and slowly.

5. Café Bizarro

Not all juice fans are health buffs and Café Bizarro certainly caters for a more alternative crowd. This gothic café is all-inclusive regardless of whether you’re a fan of all-black outfits or not and they have some unique smoothie options to try out. Known as bizarradas, they’re made from fruits, syrup and, oddly enough, beer. With branches in both Coyoacán and Roma, it’s an appropriate mix of popular yet alternative.
