The Best Smoothie and Juice Bars in Adelaide Whipping up Liquid Wellness
Smoothies and juices can make or break your day. Just ask Reese Witherspoon or our teammate Ava.
These sips are just that good, especially here in Adelaide, where the local produce is world-class, both in flavor and freshness.
How do we know this? Well, we sipped our way through ADL to find the city’s best smoothie and juice bars. You’ll find our verdict below!
Smiley Mocktail Bar & Cafe
Address: 7/141-159 Rundle Mall
Contact Details: (08) 7230 8040
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 7 am to 5 pm
- Sat – 11 am to 5 pm
Sure, Smiley Mocktail Bar & Cafe is more famed for its mocktail mastery, but one sip of their juices and you’ll be singing a different tune—like what happened to us.
The first blend we fell in love with was their signature detox juice. Priced between $10 and $14, this mix of refreshing greens and citrus juices is a must-add to your juicy wishlist.
Our favorite option, though, is the Mix Your Own deal. It’s pricier at around 12 to 16 bucks, but it’s a creation only limited by your imagination and preference.
Tip: Short on time? Ordering online beats battling Adelaide’s traffic.
Delicia Acai & Protein Bar
Address: 74A Melbourne St, North Adelaide
Contact Details: 0410 169 809
Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 8 am to 4 pm
- Sat to Sun – 9 am to 2:30 pm
A list of healthy and flavorful drinks without Delicia Acai & Protein Bar? Yeah, right.
Plant-based protein smoothies are their specialties, as evidenced by their extensive menu of over 10 unique drinks. Standouts include mango passion protein shake and acai protein shake—both bursting with creamy and fruity essences.
Vegans can sip in delight, too. This spot has a delectable vegan protein shake served with your choice of organic plant-based protein powder, thick milk, and crushed ice.
Tip: Early mornings and afternoons are the best hours to swing by. They aren’t as hectic as the brunch period.
Mouthfuls
Address: Shop 10/52 Hindley St
Contact Details: 0410 750 812
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 6:30 am to 2:30 pm
Website
Mouthfuls’ mall location might not be the GOAT in terms of ambiance, but their juices are surely worth checking out.
Starting your day with their cold-pressed juices, like the Triple Treat, is a surefire way to lighten up the early hours. This best-seller is a palate-pleasing mix of apple, orange, and carrot. Sipping it dry won’t result in self-induced guilt trips.
If a detoxifying drink that doesn’t taste like a nightmare is what you’re after, The Super Antioxidant is where it’s at. We love this bevvy’s unique and delectable orange, beetroot, and kale combo.
Tip: Bringing a car? UPark Light is the closest and easiest parking spot available.
Garden Smoothies
Address: K01, Hendon Central, 53/59 Tapleys Hill Rd, Hendon
Contact Details: 0423 580 623
Operating Hours: Daily – 10 am to 9 pm
Website
Two things make Garden Smoothies a Hendon favorite: large servings and flavor-packed combinations. The cherry on top is the price tags. They don’t go beyond 10 bucks, which is surprising given the size.
On our recent trip, we had the staff-recommended Lyra Forest Smoothie. This suggestion turned out to be a winner, as its kiwi and lychee fusion is to die for, especially if you add mango and coconut jellies into the mix.
We also tried the Sunset Tango Smoothie, a pick as vibrant as its name. Each sip pops with the dancing flavors of sweet mango, juicy watermelon, and sweet strawberry.
Tip: Sweeten things up by experimenting with the additions. Your options range from puddings and pearls to creme brulee and jellies!
Jamu
Address: S69 Central Market, 44-60 Gouger St
Contact Details: 0467 493 119
Operating Hours:
- Tue – 7 am to 5:30 pm
- Wed – 9 am to 3 pm
- Thu – 8 am to 5:30 pm
- Fri – 7 am to 9 pm
- Sat – 7 am to 3 pm
Whenever we’re at Jamu, we tend to forget their drinks are healthy. Those flavors are just too tasty to be low-cal.
Our go-to here is the Super Acai Bowl, a “breakfast in a cup” type of drink packed with acai, banana, blueberries, and coconut. The infusion of coconut juice is the icing on the cake. Its distinct nuttiness and mild sweetness are a taste of the tropics.
They also pour cold-pressed juices that keep it real—none of that artificial junk. The aptly named The Gardener, a mishmash of greens, ginger, and citrus, is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
Tip: Stay ahead of the curve. Check announcements of new flavors and mixes on their Instagram!
Coco Jumbo
Address: Shop/14 Topham Mall
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9:30 am to 3 pm
Facebook
Coco Jumbo was a bit hard to find, but our search was well-rewarded. Their juices stand out for their superb flavor and health-boosting benefits.
A prime example of this is their earthy, subtly sweet, and robust beetroot juice. It’s a signature blend that improves blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and even protects the liver.
You must also give a shot to their Golden Glow Smoothie, a choice that left us radiating like a Henley Beach sunset. With pineapple, mango, banana, turmeric, and coconut milk, this one is as fruity as they come.
Tip: Based on experience, weekends here are busier. Drop by during weekdays for a more tranquil sipping experience.
Ghan Agha Juice
Address: 366 Prospect Rd, Kilburn
Contact Details: (08) 8262 3951
Operating Hours: Daily – 12 pm to 11 pm
Facebook
Affordable, nutritious, and no-frills—Ghan Agha Juice offers a straightforward approach to healthy refreshments. While their menu may not boast extravagant blends, their drinks are palate-pleasing, particularly their sugarcane, vegetable, and fruit options.
You can take the said sips to the next level by pairing them with this spot’s traditional desserts. The staple is matka kulfi, a time-honored Indian frozen treat with sugar, milk, sugar, and flavorings like cardamom, saffron, or pistachios.
Tip: Ghan Agha has a reputation for not following their business hours. To avoid disappointment, message them on Facebook before driving to Prospect Rd.

Operating Hours:
- Mon to Fri – 8:30 am to 4:30 pm
- Sat – 8 am to 4 pm
- Sun – 8:30 am to 4 pm
With a Hawaii-inspired interior, Bomdia Bowls take the refreshing levels up a notch. What makes them stellar, though, is their menu of organic smoothies.
The PB is what we regularly get. Vanilla protein, homemade peanut butter, dates, coconut, and bananas make up this fulfilling drink that’s best paired with their coconut bowl.
Raw Green is another banger, as its combination of celery, spinach, and lemon delivers a crisp, refreshing taste with a subtle zing. Any bowl goes well with this one, but we suggest slurping it with the fruit-packed and coco-drizzled Bombora.
Tip: Get your drip game on while sipping or munching. Browse this spot’s merchandise shop to score unique tees and hoodies.

What we dig about Black Eye Coffee is how each drink is geared up for a purpose. Take their Dtox Green Special Smoothie with fruits, kale, celery, and chia seeds, perfect for when you need a veggie kick.
Their juice selection embodies the same philosophy. It features blends designed to enhance heart health, rejuvenate, and support the immune system—all while giving off fruity flavors that won’t make you gag.

Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9 am to 2:30 pm
Website
Last but not least, we have Juice Quest, a shop that takes cleansing seriously.
For us, their standout bottle is Lemon Zing. The first time we tried it, its refreshing lemon and ginger punch instantly captured our taste buds, as it didn’t have an overpowering profile.
Pink Bliss is also top-tier, flavor-wise. It brims with fruity undertones of watermelon and strawberry, complemented by a zesty touch of lime.
Tip: Don’t overlook their websites for perks such as free bags with your first order and discounts.
