JUGOS

The service is terrible and the place is very dirty. They used to have a big window into the kitchen so patrons could look inside and not anymore, makes you wonder why
The staff is unfriendly, rude and slow.
If you order ahead (online), you can be waiting for 15 mins and your order might not be ready.

If you’re looking for a quick, healthy refreshing meal/​snack, this is the place!
They have a variety of fresh pressed juices, shakes and acaí bowls. If you’re looking for a boost of energy, they also serve different types of coffees. We each had a bowl and a shot of lemon, ginger and cayenne pepper. Perfect spot for the health nut

Waited almost 20 minutes for my drink while everybody else got their’s. They totally forgot my order and did not even apologize. I would’ve left if I haven’t paid already. I used to come here a lot, but I’m never going back.

Love this place. My doctors office is right next door and I visit this place every time. Listen, I do not get sick enough. Wish they had a location closer to me!

I was really excited when I realized this place was right next to BackBay Station (work station) the juice was very good, and fresh. It’s a very small location so understand you will be cramped while ordering, no sitting area. It’s a walk in, walk out type of place. The ONLY recommendation I have is for them to somehow have the juices a bit colder? I know it’s freshly made, but on a hot summer day it’s a downer. Maybe adding ice would help, but other that that I loved the juice and will be coming back for another fresh pick me up. Note the pricing, it’s 5 – 6 $ for A 12oz, prices go up as you go up in sizing

I’m late to the popular food game, but acai bowl sounded interesting enough to venture here.
It’s REALLY small, but smells so fresh here! We got the Sao Paolo because, cacao nibs, and also asked to add berries to it. Looking back, had we planned better, I think we would have also added an avocado toast to our order. We saw some girls walk by with it, and it looked great.
Our bowl was delicious! I can’t imagine eating an entire bowl by yourself, but I thought it was perfect to share with my sister. The balance of flavor and the refreshing, cold base made it a great breakfast. Healthy? I dunno, but damn good.

This place was fantastic — I will definitely be back. Choosing four stars instead of five because their space is extremely small and it’s difficult to tell who is waiting to pick up or place an order. Plus, they are on the pricier side, so even if they cut down their prices by a few dollars, that would be amazing.
I got a Kai acai bowl and it was super fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend it. They make the bowls quickly, but the quality is still there. It was perfect for the warm weather and was a super refreshing and healthy start to my morning!

JUGOS you are my hero.
This Juicery is hidden by the T station. You will be greeted by the loud blenders and an array of fruits and smoothies on your way in.
* YES — they serve pre-​made/​refrigerated drinks
* YES — ACAI BOWLS
* YES — freshly made to order beverages
* YES — healthy snacks (vegan/​GF)
My personal FAVS:
+ CHIA BOWL — in the refrigerated area. It is super filing & fresh.
+ any of their GREEN JUICES. I am personally not a fan of their «bowls» because I feel that they are too sweet! However, their fresh green juices are refreshing and crisp tasting. Perfect for a hot summer day.
*perk– Open later than most Juicers in Boston

I’ve been walking past Jugo’s for years without stopping in. I finally made my first trip and now I’m looking for any and every excuse I can to end up in Back Bay.
They’re super friendly and quick. The juice is outrageously good. I’ve been ordering the Bushwick (cayenne, brussel sprouts, beets, carrot, fruits I can’t remember) and it’s surprisingly refreshing/​sweet.
This place is addicting, but for anyone who’s ever made juice at home, you understand that it’s not all that expensive and you save yourself the mess.
Go to Jugo’s.

For those who are looking to redeem themselves after a visit to Tasty Burger or are simply looking for some nutrients after a strenuous shopping adventure at Copley, JUGOS has some great juices, smoothies and acai bowls to do the trick. You really can’t go wrong with any of their menu items. My only gripe is that the acai mixture for the bowl is quite icy cold. It’s not at a temp that you would want to dig right into. I suggest letting it thaw out for a few minutes until its room temp. Then it’s ideal to devour!

I came here with my sister and we were really excited to try their acai bowls since it’s not like we’re in LA where you can find acai anything on every corner of the street.
The line was really long and the price actually surprised me. Why? Because the acai bowl didn’t taste as good as I thought it would. I think it was the same or even slightly worse than the acai bowl I had from Oasis in Medford (and it’s cheaper there too). My sister did get the separate mango which was good.
But I’m willing to go there again, but for their other items on the menu. It seems like most people order the smoothies anyway. So just don’t get the acai bowls!

Really fresh and vibrant! it’s a little pricey, but so is every other juice place I can think of in the area. I got the Aston smoothie with protein powder. It was delicious and perfect for after the gym.
There are also grab and go items for lunch, like salads and chia seed pudding, that I’d definitely like to try in the future!

Tucked away in the corner of Back Bay station, JUGOS is probably one of the best known «holes in the wall» of Boston. They’re very authentic and offer a wide range of options, from smoothies to juices to acai bowls to food like chia pudding, toast, Greek yogurt, fruit, and more.
The people are always nice, though albeit a bit rushed (understandable, since the lines can get crazy on weekend mornings and just in general). Grab a menu to look at while you’re in line!
I think their acai bowls are the classic Brazilian style, but a little more watery than I’d personally like them to be. Their smoothies are good as well. Their cold brew is a huge secret — it’s so cheap for 20 oz. And it’s strong and good. I think the best option by far is their juice cleanse — right now it’s $ 39 /​day, which is one of the cheapest in Boston. Learn more here:
Warnings though: they don’t use soy milk, so if you’re allergic to nuts, ask for coconut water to be subbed in instead. And there’s also absolutely no seating, so keep that in mind.
Tips: You can call ahead to place your order so you don’t have to wait in line. Also pick up a punchcard for your 11^th drink free!

So good! Everything looks (and from what I had) taste really fresh!
I had the green smoothie bowl, I’ll definitely be back to try more!
Can’t wait to try the pressed juices.

Really great, fresh juices and smoothies. They’re expensive but not crazy for pressed juice (which is always expensive since it doesn’t contain water/​sugar to bulk it up). I also really like the overnight soaked oats and the chia seed bowl. A fun menu of healthy, good things.
It’s a postage stamp size shop and it gets quite packed before 9 so make sure you are comfortable being squished in there like a sardine.

This place is so much fun. They always have music playing and the people who work there are friendly and helpful.
The menu is fantastic. It’s a bit more interesting and creative than your average fresh-​pressed juice bar. All the Batidos are great and filling — healthy milkshakes, better than ice cream! My favorite is the Kalik. All the green /​veggie juices are great, too.
It is a TINY place — but don’t be intimidated if there is a line. It moves quickly!

No joke when I say standing room only. If there’s ever been an example of a «grab and go place» it’s Jugos. No seating at all. If more than 4 people are waiting for their drinks/​food it gets very cramped very quickly. Would recommend if you’re claustrophobic in the slightest.
The juice (I got a #2, which is orange, grapefruit, pear, lemon, mint) I bought was quite pricey and not that impressive. It wasn’t bad, but I ended up needing to go down to the Starbucks down the street to get some Splenda packets to put in it to prevent my face from turning inside out from the sourness. The juices are definitely on the pricy side. $ 6 for a 12oz, $ 7 for a 16oz, and $ 9 for a 24oz. The prices listed are 5 cents less than on their menu but with tax it will definitely be more than what I put.
Staff were friendly and efficient at the speed they made the juices (mine was made in like 2 minutes). Overall not a bad place, and while I can definitely understand why it’s so popular, it’s just not for me. Still worth a try if you’re into juice bars.

I love this place. Friendly staff and they are quick. I would download the app and order ahead because they get a lot of people when a train comes in from back bay. Katie

Great smoothie stop just beside back bay station! Really helps turn your mood around if you had a crappy commute lol Everything is great on the menu and made fresh to order

I LOVE this place! It’s a huge highlight of getting off at Back Bay Station! I’ve always wanted to write a review about the amazing quality of the juices but never got around to it, until now.
SO, I was home for Christmas last week and I was passing through Back Bay and looking forward to getting a juice. Unfortunately, I tried the door and the place had just closed. Someone came out and told me that they were not open but that I could choose a pre-​made juice if I wanted. Of course I did and as I got ready to pay the person said it was their treat! SO nice and completely unexpected.
I live in LA, home of some of THE BEST juice bars and this one is certainly up to par. I’ll be trying the acai bowl next time.

This place is pretty cool. I’ve never had an Acai bowl before (except for the ones I attempted to make at home), so I don’t have a lot to compare it to. I got the Sao Paolo, which was quite good and tasted fresh. It wasn’t as cold as I would have liked it, but maybe Acai bowls aren’t supposed to be cold (I used to make it with frozen Acai).
Like other reviewers have said, the place is tiny and can get crowded quickly. The person behind the counter was also not super helpful, as when I asked him what a pitaya bowl was he said «it is made with pitaya.» While I pride myself in knowing some Spanish, this one was above my head. I later looked it up online and discovered pitaya is dragonfruit, which sounds delicious — if only I had known then!
Ultimately, if I’m in the mood for a batido (smoothie) or some other healthy-​ish, fruity concoction I will definitely return.

AMAZEBALLS! haha… WAY better option for breakfast than dunkin/​starbucks
I go at least once a week. I’ve always ordered the smoothies (Batidos) and always enjoy. Recently I’ve started ordering the Pan (toast with toppings) for breakfast and its again amazing.
Not many places in Boston do you get EVERYONE having wonderful customer service. They definitely are friendly and helpful. Also, I do love the fact that they have a punch card. Considering all the ingredients are fresh, it can get a little pricey (depending on what youre getting).

Nothing like Thanksgiving (and the many l’m-going-to-eat-all-the-leftovers-days following it) to make you crave a green drink (#amiright!?). So, after I got out of my Crossfit class, I decided to scope out the nearest juice bar. Jugos was only a .2 mile walk away (or .5 miles if you can’t follow directions like some people #justme #shouldhavetakenaleft).
The shop is teeny tiny. It’s not a sit down place, like I had hoped. It’s literally a counter, some shelves with snacks (plantain chips!) and a couple refrigerators with pre-​bottled drinks. There is space for maybe five people to fit in front of the counter/​cashier, which got to be a bit too comfy as people stacked up waiting for their drinks.
I’m not sure if it was due to the volume at the particular time, but the service was slow. Slooooooow. Someone in line wanted to purchase a pre-​bottled drink and after standing in line for 10ish minutes gave up.
I ordered the Lo Macho (#givemeallthegreens). This drink was perfect. It had a hint of sweetness, but for the most part it tasted like a health kick in a to-​go cup.
I’d definitely recommend checking this place out, but be prepared to wait. I did see some people pick up right away, so you might want to consider looking their menu up online and calling in your order.

Try the avocado ice cream! So creamy and flavorful! But beware, I’ve never seen ice cream melt that quickly before, so make sure to eat this quick.
I also had a Kai Acai bowl, which was very tasty. It was a pretty simple bowl — acai topped with blueberries, strawberries, banana, and granola — and had the perfect ratio of sweetness and refreshing. This is the perfect post-​workout snack. For 9.95, it’s definitely not cheap (though cheaper than ones I’ve found in New York), but I can’t help but splurge on such yummy healthy snacks. I definitely want to come back next time for the much raved-​about Sao Paolo bowl.
Mainly subtracting a star because the store was uncomfortably hot when I went. Given how cramped the store already is, that 10 minutes of waiting for my acai bowl in the heat was extra painful. Also, the service could be better. I really would have appreciated some help with the menu. I didn’t know that jugos meant juice… is this supposed to be common knowledge?

I love this spot! It feels like California, like a juice stand on the beach. I love the vibe and the healthful offerings. I’ve tried several different juices and you can’t go wrong. Last time I was there they accidentally gave me a larger size of juice! Thank you! :) Can’t wait to return.

Jugo’s is a diamond in the rough, the «rough» in this case is back bay station, whose food/​drink options consist of caffeine peddlers Dunkin’ Donuts and grease outlet Tasty Burger.
Jugo’s is in binary opposition to these corporate peddlers of junk. Their smoothies and bowls are made with fresh and healthy ingredients. All the smoothies I’ve tried were fantastic, with the 1 being a favorite.
The «Kai» acai bowl is excellent. Blended acai with berries, bananas, and granola.
The space is tiny and you’ll feel like you’re in a cramped subway car while waiting for your order, but the staff is excellent, their music choices are on point (salsa, meringue etc) and they usually have samples out.
Most of their food is made to order, so give yourself enough time if you need to catch a train.

I come here often. Very often. OK, maybe too often. So much so that my coworker and I may have our own «smoothie?» expression at 4pm now when we’re both thinking the same thing. But what can I say, it’s fresh and delicious and makes my afternoon much merrier. At least, that’s my justification for having gone through two punch cards in three months…
The menu is really unique, and I always enjoy looking through it (even though I should know it by heart at this point)! I’ve tried many of the smoothie varieties and a few of the foods, and ~80% of the time I’m really happy with them. Waka Waka smoothie is probably my favorite, or the Lucuma when I’m in the mood.
The missing star on my review represents the other 20% of the time — I’ve found a few of the menu items (looking at you, Aston smoothie) to be a little bland. But even then, I’m never sorry to have stopped by.
As far as service goes, they’re really friendly though it can be a little slow. I just take that as a reminder of how fresh it is, however, and allow enough time whenever I stop by. The actual place is teeny tiny, so when they’re crowded it can be a little uncomfortable, but everyone is good about squeezing in when needed.
All-​in-​all: go here, you won’t regret it!

You would think that in a city as great as Boston there would be a bunch of good places to grab a smoothie, especially in this humid weather. However, with the exception of a few places, the results have been disappointing. Thankfully, Jugos is always there for me whenever I want a grade A smoothie.
Among their more generic smoothies, I enjoyed the Waka Waka and Super Linda the most. The Xochitl is also amazing, especially for something with kale in it.
They also sell more unique smoothies that you won’t find anywhere else (De Temporada Menu). The one I can strongly vouche for is the Maracuya, which is nothing short of exceptional.
Having tried most of their smoothies, I can safely say that you won’t be disappointed by any of their options. They also sell chia seed fruit puddings that I enjoyed, as well as juices and fruit bowls that I can’t say anything about (haven’t tried them).

My first stop off the train station — every time :)
I would recommend the honey pollen bowl for breakfast — it’s super hearty so expect to be full of fresh delicious fruit. Try any of their smoothies for a happy tummy.
It’s a small place though so I’d recommend you look at the menu online so you know what you want when you enter.

This review is only for the acai bowl. First of all, be sure to look on the back of the menu because that is where the available bowls are listed.
The acai «smoothie» component is artificially sweet. It tastes like the premade package you can purchase at whole foods in the freezer section. The fruit was good, the granola was average. they don’t load up the bowls. I have to say I have had better at the many other juice shops in Boston.

I am addicted to the concept and execution of JUGOS, and so bummed it’s not next door from my house because I wish I could come here daily! The exciting and colorful feel of the JUGOS storefront and menu offerings transcends you from the Back Bay station. I am a huge fan of anything they do with passion fruit as well as the coconut pudin (which feature chia pudding with young tender coconut). Unlike some sterile-​feeling juice bars where you feel like you’re just drinking the juice to skip any extra calories, JUGOS is exciting enough with fun add ins to all the juices where you actually are excited to order! I always try to stop here mid-​errands or work out classes in the Back Bay area.

Oh JUGOS! I wish I could give you just one more star!!!
Before you try anything you need to try the San Paulo Acai Bowl. Ridiculously good! It didn’t have any Acai flavor — but it tasted like chocolate mousse yogurt with delicious granola, coconut flakes, cocoa nibs and sliced bananas.
The Kalik smoothie rocked too!
Tiny little place, but oh so worth the wait.

I wish I lived in Boston because of JUGOS! The Sao Paolo Acai Bowl was the best thing I ever ate — and that says a lot! It was a huge portion and the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. I even added hemp protein for an extra boost. This Acai Bowl was different than any I ever had. It was creamier and not as freezing cold, which I loved. None of the toppings were overbearing, but perfectly balanced.
The next day I got Juice #6, which was quicker of course. The juice was perfectly refreshing and priced fairly. The lines here are long, but the service is awesome and it’s worth any short wait. Everything is made completely fresh. I wish JUGOS would expand to Jersey!

ORDER OF GREATNESS:
1– BATIDOS
2 — JUGOS
3 — ACAI BOWL
This is now the only place where I will get my fresh smoothies and juices.
For smoothies, you can’t go wrong. I would definitely recommend the xochitl, percy, and pirlo. But seriously, get anything. You won’t be disappointed.
For juices, I look in the fridge and get weirded out by the separation in the premade bottles and the fact that expiration date listed is usually on the same day. I usually ask for a juice from the menu in bottled form, and they happily oblige. They also taste much fresher than the premade bottled juices.
The Sao Paolo bowl is killer. There’s chocolate/​banana smoothie topped with cacao nibs and fruit. This is definitely my favorite bowl so far! I also had the kai acai bowl, and although the fresh fruit toppings were great, I thought the acai itself was pretty watery and bland.
This is one of the only places where I make a commitment to the punch card and want to make sure I get a free juice or smoothie after purchasing 10 drinks. This place is that good!
