done.

Great smoothies! Around the corner from where I usually stay in Brooklyn is Beyond Quality (beQu) and it seems like I always find myself inside. The interior isn’t anything special but at least the products are top-​notch, homemade, and very fresh. That’s what matters when it comes to reliable juices and beverages.

The smoothies and juices here are the real deal. After a long ride or run, I often duck in for a PB&J smoothie, which is blended berries and peanut butter (duh). Plenty of naturally occurring carbs and protein with no added sugar — a great recovery drink.
The salads are also really large and packed with fresh vegetables. Very healthy and filling (and I actually mean healthy — not like 90 percent of big salads in this country).
Good, friendly service and honestly prepared food. They don’t skimp, and you can see all the ingredients they use in your order.

It’s good and their oatmeal is great but everything is just too damned expensive for juice and oatmeal. However, their oatmeal specials are DELICIOUS.

It was my first time eating here. I had the Bean and cheese burrito. From the looks of it it seemed like a good deal. 6 bucks for a large burrito that makes you excited to be a citizen of a country neighboring mexico. I love my burritos.
However, the taste was mediocre at best, with none of the flavors that you expect from the combination of ingredients that comprise a burrito. It tasted like rice beans and cheese, nothing more. Very little salsa and no cilantro in anything?!
the place seemed nice and theres a good vibe. i will definetly come again, because they’re juices and other stuff seems good. Menu is packed with really cool and healthy meals, that I would’nt count them off for one average burrito. Friendly staff!

If you like juices and smoothies, but have trouble making decisions you might want to spend about a month on the internet researching what you want before entering beQu for the first time because the choices are vast. As a very experienced juice and smoothie drinker, I popped into beQu on a whim but became quickly overwhelmed with all the options. In fact, there were so many smoothies listed that I didn’t realize I could just get fresh juice mixtures until it was too late. You might wonder how this happens:
When I walked in I looked at like five boards of menu material, drinks and such and because nobody was ordering, I was asked if I needed help right away which put the pressure on. I looked and looked and then someone else asked if I needed help so I caved and chose some type of banana/​soy milk smoothie before I was really ready. The smoothie was good, but I am positive that with more time I would have found a juice blend more suitable to my tastes.
beQu has a fair amount of tables inside, it is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. It is nice to have a healthy alternative to the faux healthy smoothie places (Jamba Juice) that inhabit the Earth as beQu actually is healthy. They have a full juice cleanse program you can order and I expect with more time with the huge menu, anyone can find something healthy and delicious.

I feel like this place has an identity crisis. One the one hand, they make great, healthy juices with fresh ingredients, but on the other hand, their food is uninspired and low quality.
I want to like beQu, I really do, but every time I go I leave feeling annoyed. The staff is nice, but they are sooo slow and cannot multi-​task. If I order two egg sandwiches they make them one at a time! And I can’t figure out why they never want to give me a bag. I have to ask for one and then they put my food and drinks into individual paper bags rather than just putting it all in a plastic bag or, they put all the paper bags into a plastic bag. I know this all sounds nit-​picky, but its annoying. I’d give them one more star if they could just pick up the pace.

Such a great place. I’m sorry that I can’t go there more often. I think the menu is confusing but thats no big deal. The juices are great! Nice staff too.

Fruity deliciousness + friendly staff = return customer
It also helps that I can rationalize their delicious food as healthy.

I appreciate being able to get a healthy-​ish sandwich that isn’t from that ubiquitous sandwich chain when I’m out and about, and I appreciate that beQu makes a wrap that includes citrus fruit and nuts.

The smoothies and juices here are Beyond Delicious. The staff are always really friendly and very knowledgeable if you have some particular nutritional interest or goal in mind as you select your beverage. They’ve even got a specially designed 3-​day juice fast plan if you’re into that kind of thing. I go for the wild berries smoothie.
You wouldn’t know it unless you wandered into the back of the place, but they also have a small outdoor patio in the spring-​fall with a few tables and chairs. AND, they have free wifi, so it’s not a bad destination either.

Solid. Ordered an orange sensation smoothie and a chicken bella sandwich combo for lunch today. very polite and friendly service. Quantity of food met expectations for the price (~$ 8). Chicken was warm and properly cooked. Smoothie was quite fantastic.
Huge selection of items to choose from. Anything from bagels to wraps and from espresso to fresh squeezed orange juice.
Will definitely be back again to try some new things!

Personally I prefer a fruit shake from a street vendor because they throw in fresh fruit, ice and nothing else and the whole thing costs $ 3. I despise fruit shakes and smoothies from places like jamba juice because nothing about them tastes fresh and the prices and lines are ridiculous. Unfortunately fruit shake stands are not too common in Brooklyn so I opt for beQu.
Just coming in here makes me feel healthy. Everything they sell is organic and the staff is super knowledgeable and nice. Aside from the pretty decent smoothies (I recommend the Mang-​o-​Holic), they also have pretty decent coffee. And who knew bagels with soy cream cheese would taste so good?
I’m always rushing in and out of this place on the way to the train station but one of these days I’d like to sit down and enjoy a nice soup or sandwich because they look delicious. The space is great too, full of natural light, comfy looking couches by the window and WiFi ready. They even have laptops for rent.

This place is great! I’m glad juicing is picking up (maybe it’ll take over the froyo trend). The green juices are delicious. I haven’t tried any of the smoothies yet. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I asked if they had any vegan pastries, and he said he’d get some. Now they sell really delicious vegan muffins! I was so impressed that he listened! They also have good looking sandwiches and soups. I’m glad to see a healthy, affordable breakfast/​lunch place in Carroll Gardens.

smoothie galore — -if you want to skip lunch, now you can — go pick up a smoothie from smith street.
some of these have like a whole days worth of protein and fiber, which will get you through the day.
