Kure Juice Bar

Love this place can’t wait for them to open more locations! near OHSU or the waterfront would be freaking perfect… just saying!!!
I really enjoyed the large lush life. They were fast and friendly. Didn’t order food but I will be back!

Very good Acia bowl flavorful and tasty everything you need for breakfast lunch or a snack maybe dinner too wish there was one closer to me!

I’m pretty obsessed with acai bowls, smoothies and juices right now. There is no shortage of these juice bars in San Diego. Of course we went in search for a good one in Portland, and it definitely looks like we found it!
I did not get a chance to try out there Bowl of the Gods (shame on me), but I did have their Extra Mile and was it friggin great! The texture was perfect! The combination of their almond butter, coconut water, kale, coconut yogurt, bee local honey, coconut manna, and ice was a dream come true. Definitely refreshing, perfectly sweet, and satisfying! I could have one every day! The best smoothie I’ve ever had, bar none.
I also had one of their Green #3’s that was already bottled up and it was super good! I also had a one of their Cally Snaps too! Very good!
I’m sad that I didn’t get to try out more of their menu and visit all their other locations. I can see myself becoming a regular if I had a Kure Bar or Kitchen close by. Instead, I will have to hit my spots in San Diego dreaming of Portland’s Kure!

I went here on a day when I was in need of something healthy in my body, and the drink I ordered didn’t disappoint! I ordered the Garden’s Gift for myself and The Extra Mile for my friend (both which are from the smoothie menu). The Garden’s Gift mixes carrot juice (which I love) with banana (which I tolerate), and at first, I was a bit skeptical, but I was up for an adventure. I enjoyed Garden’s Gift, but I had a sip of my friend’s Extra Mile, which was sweeter, and I loved it. This place is nearby my downtown office, and I’m looking forward to another visit.

This is a great little juice and smoothie bar. I stopped here on a trip to Portland on a Saturday morning before a spin class the cashier was very friendly and helpful he explained the menu to me and I decided to go with a kid Kyoto smoothie which contains avocado, matcha, dates, spinach, vanilla protein, and coconut. I loved this smoothie it was a great texture, very cold, and you could taste all the ingredients. This isn’t really a place to sit and more of a place to grab and go as there is only two benches but they are fast and friendly.

What’s really good:
Hot Mess Oatmeal (one of the best oatmeals I’ve had!)
Matcha Matcha Man (with stevia, so perfect!)
The oatmeal bowl looks small, but it is filling!
What’s not that good:
Bowl of the gods (very liquidy, it’s light pink, not much acai in the blend)
If you’re in search of a good acai bowl, come to Los Angeles!
Or go to Hawaii, at least that’s what I’m advised.

I LOVE this place… but they are so slow.
The bowl of the gods is my go-​to lunch. If they were faster I would visit a lot more.

«Hate that I love you so!» I don’t want to love it because it’s not cheap, but it’s not too spendy either. The juices and smoothies are so refreshing and so dang good. A couple of my favorites are the Lady of the Day, Double Rainbow, and Berried Alive. I’ve taken their immunity tonic shot a few times and it has definitely made me feel a heck of a lot better. The love potion juice tastes really yummy as well!
The acai bowls are totally worth it. My favorite is the Bowl of the Gods. It doesn’t make you regretful of what you get, but just enough to fill you up.
My last visit was a little puzzling. I made my order and noticed that the person making my smoothie grabbed a pre-​made blender and started taking some banana and other stuff it of it and then adding more stuff into it to make my smoothie. I’m sure berried alive doesn’t have banana in it but it was so overpowering from the pre made blender batch that the taste lingered. I was rather disappointed. I hope this isn’t a practice that they will pick up.
I’m excited to go to Kure Kitchen to try out their macrobowls!

This place is as Portland as it gets. If you are looking for healthy juices which will taste good, make your body feel good inside and one with the universe? Then this place can be a good choice for you.
I am not a big juice/​smoothie/​bowl fan. But, do tend to enjoy the taste once in a while. We went there purely to experience this healthfulness and were not disappointed. We had the Little sunshine from the juices and little wing from the smoothies. Both were amazing and I would love to have them again when I stop by next.

I LOVE this location. I love Kure in general but this location is my fave. I’ve been coming here since 2013. Everyone is SO nice it’s truly unbelievable. They’re always super accommodating with my nut allergy, always offering substitutions and being careful to use separate equipment. They always take my recycled bowls and cups to use. Super fast service. Always asking about my day and always so happy. When it’s not busy they’ll sometimes offer up the leftover smoothie or shots from my order or someone else’s order. Not to mention everyone in there is so beautiful and sweet, it’s very pleasant to walk into. It’s always so clean and they allow my dog to come in while I wait for my order. The music is always so upbeat and happy which brings me up no matter how ugly it is outside.
Now the bowls, I always order the same thing. Bowl of the gods no almonds and a lady of the day. No where I’ve ever been, and I’ve travelled a lot, can even come close to their Acai bowls. The consistency of the base is perfect and thick, the granola is my favorite help granola from natures path, the set up is beautiful. Both the bowls and smoothies are always thick and consistent, never watery or Icey.
I can just go on and on about the place, the menu and the workers. Basically everyone and everything is perfect and I will forever remain in love with every beautiful human in there and their acai bowls and smoothies

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago. Was exactly what I needed on a hot day in Portland. I got the Acai Bowl, Bowl of the Gods and my brothers each got a smoothie. Everything we got here was so delicious. So worth coming out here and giving this place a try. The inside is kind of small but the building they are in is newer and on a sunny day waiting outside isn’t so bad. They got some outdoor seating as well!

Was craving an acai bowl, so I went here. My bowl was delicious and tasted very fresh.
The only thing I wish they had was indoor seating so I could enjoy my wonderful acai bowl indoors rather than in the Portland rain

Honestly, I don’t want to like Kure, but it’s slightly to moderately addicting. Questions of it being laced with addictive substances aside, it’s really good juice, with a really high price to match.
My wallet couldn’t bear drinking it daily — lest I enter into some sort of indentured servitude gig with them — but when given the chance, Kure is a tasty and nutritious treat!
p. s. how do they make beets taste so good?! Is it the high sugar content of beets? That’s it, isn’t it?

I was so glad to find this gem during my stay in PDX. The bowl of the gods was delicious and jam packed with grains and fruits. I also had the Liquid Sunshine green juice which was made with all organic ingredients. Since I have a juicer at home, I usually have a hard time purchasing juices at juiceries but Kure offers a menu with unique options and incredibly fresh ingredients. I recommend Kure for people who are new to juicing or those who’ve been juicing for years!

I love Kure Juice! There. I said it. Every time I am in Portland I come here every single morning. My favorites is the Farmers Favorite. Everything her is so fresh and just pure perfection. It helps with my jet lag from traveling and gives me the energy I need to start the day. They have a great selection of smoothies and juices and even a few breakfast and salad items. The staff is also super friendly too. It’s just a great place to go to that makes me feel great! Thanks Kure!

Get ready to get your health on!
Kure has delicious acai bowls, savory macro bowls, oatmeals, green drinks, and smoothies. If you have a sweet tooth, they also offer delicious treats at the counter, like maca balls and energy bars. I ordered a green drink and their pumpkin pooridge bowl and loved both. Their pooridge bowl was insanely delicious (the perfect combo of salty, sweet, crunchy, etc.) and was the perfect treat on a cold day.
The selection of food here isn’t as good as Prasad and Harlow, but it’s still worth checking out!

Best vegan salad bowl I’ve had, anywhere I’ve travelled
or lived for that matter. Acai bowls looked amazing. The menu is robust and includes grain bowls and a few different veg juice option (rare, I find). The salad bowls are awesome because they marinade the super tasty veggies before assembling the salad. Its not just raw scoops of this and that. If Kure was closer I’d be a regular.

Kure is simply the best juice bar around that I know of. The best quality ingredients, great staff and tons of healing for your body. I go here no less than twice a week. Thank you for doing what you do!
Side note: try the hangover helper if you drank the night before. It really works.
My goto though is the Portland pharmacy juice after a workout. Gives you that boost of real energy. Their wheatgrass is fantastic too.

Nice people and their recommendation for me on the lush smoothie was spot on. I would come back.

I never should have come here. This is going to become an expensive and delicious habit. AND it’s walking distance from my apartment. Dangerous business.
I had a bowl of the gods, even though I am generally not into smoothie bowls containing peanut butter. It was EXQUISITE.
The guy at the counter was really sweet, though I’m sure I acted like a dead-​eyed starving zombie. Everyone smiled and was really pleasant.
For the quality and flavor, the price is worth it. It’s a full meal for 8.25.
It didn’t melt in the 10 – 15 minutes it took me to walk home, and even on a gloomy day, I really enjoyed the cold bowl.
I will be back to try all of the other menu items.

Wheatgrass shot was a generous portion in those little containers you put condiments in, not sure how many oz but seemed like 1.5−2 oz. It was superb and just what I wanted.
I had the Green Queen smoothie something or another. Basically it was delicious and the hint of avocado was perfect and not overwhelming. Not sweet and actually could taste the greens. Just what I was looking for! Would highly recommend.

I got the little wing smoothie and it was DELICIOUS! I asked for the small (because it is a bit pricey) and it went down really quick! (That’s how good it was!!) you might be paying a lot for a small size but if you want something to crave those taste buds, this is your place!

Absolutely delicious. That’s all I have to say. There is a health food place very near my school back home so a lot of kids go there all the time to indulge in healthy foods. I have been addicted to açai bowls ever since I went there for the first time. I am very picky about my food so I was worried I wouldn’t find a place to satisfy my addiction. Coming to Oregon, I was worried that I would not find a good açai bowl place but then I looked across the street and there was kure juice bar. The first day they closed quite early and I was very disappointed and craved açai bowls more and more until the next day when I went into the store to order. I was not disappointed. It was absolutely delicious and they had so many options. The servers were very nice and helpful as well. The packing is super cute too. Very green and good for the environment.

As a man who loves his peanut butter and bananas, trying the Bowl of the Gods was a must and I’m so glad I did. The blended base had a perfect amount of peanut butter in it and I found myself devouring the bowl faster and faster with every bite. Also, I loved how the hemp seed granola had a kind of puffed rice cereal mixed in, it kept the granola light and airy and it wasn’t overly sweet like so many other granola varieties I’ve come across, so I was super happy about that!
Absolutely nothing bad to be said about this masterpiece and it’s a delicious pick me up for any time of the day. I can’t wait to stop by again and snag another one. Stop reading this review, treat yourself, and go grab one of their fantastic bowls! You deserve it :)

Great place to get a healthy juice smoothly or bowl. I enjoy the smell as I enter the quaint location. It takes me back to the markets of Latin America when I lived there. The staff is very nice and always on top of the orders. Once I came in and as I was tying my Americans bulldog one of the employees heard her whimpering and he invited us both in. That will always stand out for me.

Before I begin, if you’re looking for quality you’re in the right place, if you want a cheap smoothie you’re not. The best blends of them all, Kure is the place to go for a good juice, smoothie, or in my case the Pdxtasy, which is a small bottled brew of goodness. You should try it. Smoothie wise, the Extra Mile is a gem. Kure has multiple locations, and a stand at Blazers game. It’s safe to say I have fallen in love.

Pretty sure they only hire descendants of Greek Gods to work here. You can’t help but notice that every single employee here is tall and gorgeous with glowing skin. even the ones in the back cutting up veggies!
You are instantly greeted by these beautiful specimens and the mostly delightful scent of fresh bananas and maybe even freshly cut grass? Basically everything you could consume in this place is good for you, so you can’t go wrong! Just hope that some of the Grecian God vibe rubs off on you when you walk out the door.

I really liked this place!
The juice I ordered, farmers favorite, was amazing! So fresh, tasty and balanced!
I also have had smoothies which are tasty but not my favorite from here.
It’s a clean place with positive vibe and good music! I like it! Yum!

I went in a week or so ago after walking countless times by it and wondering about it.
I saw a juice in the fridge when you first walk in called «Love Potion» that looked fantastic, but it looked like it had been there for a while so I asked if they could make it fresh. They said yes, but they didn’t know the recipe! I’m like WTF?!? Aren’t you supposed to know all the recipes of things you sell? (I didn’t say this out loud, but it sure did manifest in my face). Regardless of this, I ordered the drink twice on two different days. The first time it was great. The second time, not so much.
The ingredients they use seem to be really good, so I’m completely baffled on why they do not have recipes for the bottled drinks. They sure look tasty, they carry the ingredients in store… SOOO what’s the holdup?

My new healthy obsession is green smoothies. I’ve been drinking them for about three months now, and I want to keep up this healthy habit. Thank goodness for great places like Kure!
I’ve been to two of their five locations (Taylor and 12^th Streets), and I have to say, their new 12^th Street store is fantastic! It’s huge, with plenty of seating and I love the natural wood bar that is under the windows. The whole space has a wonderful, calming feeling.
I’ve tried three things on their menu: The Lush Life, Greenheart and Hot Mess. I loved both of the green smoothies. Great taste and just sweet enough for both. I actually really like them both, so I’m not sure I can say which one is my favorite. Greenheart is made with apple juice and has coconut, which I love, and The Lush Life is made with orange juice and has ginger, which I also love. Tough choice…
The Hot Mess was the most recent thing I got, and it was delicious. I would have liked it a little more sweet, but I added a some honey, and problem solved. It was a wonderful combination of oatmeal, cinnamon, coconut sugar, almond milk, bananas, strawberries and coconut. It was also huge — the portion was quite hearty, so a good choice if you love oatmeal and you are hungry.
Service at both locations was also very friendly. It is kind of expensive, but considering the quality and amount you get, I think it’s worth it. I just wish they had a location on the NE side… hopefully someday.

4.5 stars
Kure had a clean and beautiful interior. There was a line when we went in the morning, and it was no surprise because it was an amazing experience.
They had Numerous Healthy desserts and raw wraps. They had so many Great products I wanted to try everything, but I only stayed in Portland for a day.
Bowls takes longer to make than smoothie because they need to chop fresh fruits. We waited about 7 minutes for our bowl.
My friend and I shared the bowl of the gods and were both satisfied. It was delicious and healthy. The granola on top of the bowl was just sweet enough and crunchy.
We saw Piles of fresh produce in kitchen.
Pricey but healthy and filling serving size

10,000 STARS!!!
Dear Kure,
You make me want to move to Portland.
Well, you and Voodoo donuts, but just pretend I didn’t say that because you probably find that place horrifying.
As do I.
Horrifying like Thanksgiving dinner and cocaine where you know you shouldn’t but JESUS you must. The Thanksgiving part is from firsthand experience, the cocaine part is from a friend.
But I digress.
During a conference, which I will describe as low sleep/​high anxiety, I was obsessed with only putting healthy and vibrant foods into my body to prevent trip-​wrecking illness. Therefore I was beyond delighted to discover your doors a mere two blocks from my hotel and commenced to visit you every single day for your chocolate peanut butter bars and the Extra Mile smoothie.
I probably should have tried other items as I’m certain they would have been delicious, but I’m a loyal type of human (meaning I am terrified of regretting NOT ordering my usual) and just could not motivate myself to diversify.
You are the best.
I think I could subsist purely off of your store for a good year.
I miss you.
I miss your chocolate peanut butter goodness.
So much.
Love,
Angela

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I had the Winning smoothie and it totally wins in my book. I ordered he largest size because yolo. And it was huge. It came in a giant like juice bottle (not just a plastic cup and straw deal). The smoothie is a very icy and juice like consistency not as thick as like Jamba Juice. But way better. I kept drinking it and getting brain freeze but I kept going anyways because it was delicious. Not too sweet and super refreshing. They also have a ton of interesting names for their drinks. I dig it. Come here and drink juice and get brain freeze cuz it’s worth it.

Kure, may I profess my love to you.
Everything is awesome,
Extra Mile is cool,
Kale is awesome when it’s with almond butter.
Everything is better when coconut yogurt and juice mix together,
Side by side, banana and granola gonna win forever, let’s party forever,
Honey Bee Good, I like Portland, Portland likes me, we’re all working in harmony.
KURE IS AWESOME!

Overview: Kure Juice Bar is a small, high-​end juice bar located on Taylor St in West Portland. There are two more location, one on SE Hawthorn and one on Yamhill.
The Establishment: Everything here is out in the open. All the veggies, all the blenders, all the action is right in front of you. Everything is beautifully clean, fresh, and colorful and you can watch your juice-​chef choose every piece that goes into your smoothie.
The Service: Friendly, Portland hipsters.
The Food: Kure Juice Bar has ingredients ranging from kale to ginkgo, to goji berries, to acai berries and everything in between. There are so many options and I think they will even let you make a truly custom smoothie if you so request. I ordered the Grand-​Daddy Purple and was beyond satisfied. It was a smooth, unique flavor of Acai, Goji, coconut yogurt, kale, and a few other traditionally healthy ingredients that delighted on all senses. The downside? For a tiny cup, it was $ 8.25! (Price current as of Jan, 2015). For something Jamba Juice sized, it would have cost me $ 17.75. Not kidding.
Conclusion: To put it simply, Kure Juice Bar with its unique ingredients, hip vibe, and transparent nature, is the best juice bar I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive juice/​smoothie place I have ever been to by a wide margin and thus I knock off one star. I’ll definitely be a regular here, but I may have to start selling drugs to pay for my high-​end juice habit.
