Benefit Juice Bar & Cafe

I found this place on Unilocal and could not wait to try it. I got the new Mexicali Smoothie with mango, coconut water etc. It was great and I would definitely get it again. I was also given a frequent buyer punch card which was nice! The location is a little off the beaten path so parking was easier. Inside was adorable. They offer foods, juices, pastries, smoothies etc. will certainly return.

Great smoothies & fun place to hang out.

I was given a wooden block to be made visible at my table (luckily there was 1 empty one) after ordering 1 smoothie. The antioxidant smoothie was good, but nothing special. It cost almost $ 7. It was along the lines of what I was looking for– a good ol’ smoothie: mixed berries, banana, and pomegranate juice.

This is a very cute coffee shop like place. It’s great for reading, getting a little work done, or meeting with friends for lunch or a snack. They do have free wifi. Everything seems fresh and made to order. They have a few sandwich and panini options including a couple vegetarian and breakfast options in addition to juices and smoothies. The smoothies and juices are excellent and very fresh. The couple that owns this place is very nice. I would highly recommend.

I stopped by here after spinning nearby. I was sad to see the cute Korean deli was gone but glad to see a cute coffee/​juice bar had popped up.
I ordered a green smoothie which came out quickly and was pretty tasty. I just wish they had blended it a little bit longer. It was very chunky and at some points the straw was stuck up with full pieces of spinach.

The sandwiches were perfect. I recommend the Roman Holiday. Better than Panera Bread. A little pricy but worth it. Great atmosphere! The juices were pretty good, I didn’t feel sick afterwards drinking it. Definitely coming again in the future!

Stopped here for lunch one day this week. I wouldn’t have known this place was there had it not been for Unilocal.It is not located in a busy area at all.
It was HOT inside the place. Sauna-​like. However, they give you a wooden block at the counter and you can sit outside and they will bring you your food. I had a smoothie that was solid and delicious, although it could have had more chia in it. I will definitely go back this summer!

Great place.
Cozy, little quaint place.
Artisan fresh food.
Offers delicious breakfast.
For lunch they have an excellent variety of Sandwiches, Salads, Paninis.
Gourmet teas, espresso, fresh juices, yummy smoothies.
Outside seating available which is awesome!

One of the best juice places I’ve been to. Everything is fresh and clean tasting (not sickly sweet with added sugar like juice in many other places). You can see them blend or juice and the ingredients look crisp and vibrant. I absolutely adore their sunburst smoothie and their tomato soup (not together mind you) when they have them. The other reason I didn’t give them five stars is the lack of a bathroom. Benefit Juice Bar would be the perfect place to eat and do work if you don’t have to walk all the way to the gas station to use the restroom.

My daughter and I love this juice and café bar. It has plenty of healthy options and has a very nice ambiance.
My daughter absolutely loves the antioxidant smoothie and I am fond of the sandwiches/​paninis. The coffee is great as well. I particularly like that you receive a rewards card; after only a few visits I received a free drink.
On a side note, the flattery of the barista was a plus haha… she mentioned how much she really liked my sweater :-). Those little comments are the kind that put a smile on your face and keep you coming back for more!
Try it out!

Great area, Staff is super friendly, and ambience inside was killer — decorated with local art and playing good music. But it wasn’t cliché ya dig?
Mango H2O sans almonds was outstanding. Fresh and delicious.
Vermont panini may have been one of the better breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Creamy eggs, REAL cheddar cheese very thinly sliced, and crusty delicious bread.

This is by far my favorite place in Providence! I am Benefit Juice Bar’s #1 fan. When I am in Providence during the year, I am here probably 2 – 4 times a week. I don’t know how I would survive Providence winters without this place as I am originally from LA and I NEED to have a juice fix sometimes. I know that it is pricey compared to some places in Providence but everything is such good quality and so good that it is totally worth it. Plus, being familiar with juice prices in LA, the prices are pretty normal.
I love everything that I have tried on the menu, but I have a few favorites. The granola cereal with bananas, apples and almond milk is my absolute favorite! The granola is homemade and so yummy. I love the Green Susi juice as well as the Doctor juice. I love getting shots of ginger when I feel sick and the banana-​nut muffins are to-​die-​for, especially when they are right out of the oven. I love the Mediterranean salad, and sometimes I get the Turkey Day sandwich but as a salad. The tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons is also incredible!!!
Also, the coffee is great. The iced coffee at Benefit is my absolute favorite in the college hill area, and trust me I have tried many, many a cup of iced coffee at plenty of different places. In my opinion, its even better than Coffee Exchange — however, I love coffee basically anywhere I can get it.
As a side not, Benefit Juice Bar has the BEST playlist ever! It adds to the already amazing ambiance. For some reason they play all my favorite retro-​ish songs like Van Morrison, The Talking Heads, The Grateful Dead, James Taylor, etc. Hearing this amazing music makes me even happier whenever I am there!
The staff is so friendly and helpful. I absolutely love the ambiance of Benefit Juice Bar. It is truly a haven for me in the winter and a my favorite place to study. And of course, during the spring and summer it is so lovely to be able to sit outside on a beautiful day. Benefit Juice Bar is a life-​saver for me and I’m so excited to go back when I’m back in Providence in the fall!

I need to come again. I loved my first experience, but I was with colleagues, so I couldn’t ogle as I normally do at juice bars. But the setting is awesome (Bob Marley! Art! Happiness!) and the food is delish. I had an Elvis and Priscilla sandwich (peanut butter and banana, apples and granola) and the chocoholic hot cocoa, which was SUPERB (coming from a raging chocoholic). My friend gave me a taste of his berry smoothie and it tasted like health and happiness. I think this is the kind of place that could be five-​stars, but I need to go back and get a second opinion (from myself).
Vibe time.
I SHALL RETURN (mwahaha)

Really nummy. I come here for my juice fix. The concoctions here are delicious and they always taste good and fresh. I usually get one of their specials when I stop in. I’m not sure if the lot behind them is a lot I’m supposed to park in. That being said, I can always find parking on the street close by. Sometimes they’re busy and when that happens there isn’t really a place to sit but usually I’m just stopping in to grab something and leave anyway. The only problem I have with this place is the price. Everything else about it is just great :)
Last time I was in here my mother was upset that they didn’t have fresh squeezed orange juice. Fresh squeezed orange juice is an old standby that all juice places should have so be warned.

This is exactly what a juice bar should be! Great, hip juices, espresso, charming, fun, and high-​quality. I loved that the owners were working when I was there and that the patrons were nice folks to be around. The only little issue I have is the espressos are a loooong shot– a tad watery.

Coffee is fair
The expresso machine is so loud it’s like the whole café is in a construction zone: can’t talk or even hear your music on headphones every time they make a coffee… the other big issue is no bathroom. All things being equal, with at least three other coffee she’s in the area. I’ll pick a place where you can sit, chat, read and go to the bathroom.

‘hmm…that tastes… really healthy, lol’ — is probably the best description of the new special green susi drink, combining kale, cucumber, ginger, apple and a smattering of other anti-​oxidant goodness. Off the record, the drink was not the most palatable, but I definitely felt more fortified than ever before.
Tucked in a corner on Benefit street, I really liked the overall décor and the friendly staff. I came here for lunch with my friends and got some really wonderful tea (green dragon and white peach tea) with free hot water refills. My sandwich, the vegetarian banh mi was amazing!!! Panini with chunky peanut butter, sriracha sauce, cilantro and apple wedges was off the charts in terms of setting my taste buds on a roller coaster experience. Although I did wish the apple wedges were just a bit thinner. The chicken banh mi was decent, although tasted more like a twist on chicken salad sandwich and the sweet corn panini was also nice, but not earth shattering.
Overall, this was a great find and definitely better than any local starbucks or DD.
Food: 4 stars (5 for the veggie banh mi)
Ambiance: 4 stars
Service: 4 stars
Price: 4 stars
Originality: 5 stars

I love the juices here! I constantly find my self here getting the Refreshing Greens juice. My boyfriend also enjoys their ice coffee.
After going here for just drinks about a dozen times, we finally tried their sandwiches. I got the Caprese panini. IT WAS AMAZING. The bread was perfect. Then it had mozzarella and a tomato basil walnut pesto. The flavor from the pesto was so fresh and it had a little crunch from the walnut. I would completely recommend this. My boyfriend got the Bad Boy panini and loved it. Let’s just saying conversation was at minimum because we were too busy enjoying the flavors of our sandwiches.

I’m torn between 2 & 3 stars.
I loved the kitschy décor and the neighborhood and could totally see myself sipping on coffee and enjoying a good book, but then again I couldn’t because there’s no bathroom.
I didn’t really like this place for a few reasons:
1) No bathrooms for customers. Really? I mean you have a café that serves up food and you don’t have a bathroom for your paying customers? That’s off putting.
2) Your prices are expensive. My egg sandwich was really tasty, but at $ 5-​$ 6 the one piece of toast cut in half with some baked egg and a bit of ham didn’t quite hit the spot. The sandwich was good, but I mean the size was extremely small.
3) I love that you offer smoothies and juices. The smoothies consistency was watery and sadly, pretty tasteless.
I left somewhat satisfied, but by no means wowed or impressed.

I live very close by in the neighborhood and have probably walked by this location a million times and never stopped in to any of the establishments which have occupied this spot. Each time i’ve walked by since Benefit Juice has opened it’s looked like it’s got a steady flow of people coming and going so i figured i’d give it a shot… So, i finally stopped in for my first visit to Benefit Juice Bar & Café. Overall i’m pretty glad i did. I went with the Tree of Life Juice (Kale, Celery, and Apple) and for my breakfast sandwich i decided to go with The Benefit. The juice was great! I thought it might be a little to veggie-​ish for me but the apple balanced it out quite nicely. It had just the right tang. As for the sandwich, it was a tad on the greasy side and the large dense piece of egg was dwarfed by the small slices of bread.
I will say what really brings them up to 4 stars is the juice and the service. The people there are really friendly and you can tell they really appreciate the patronage.
Give them a try!
