Miami’s juice bar craze continues this week as Raw Juce unveils its third Miami-Dade storefront in less than a year. The Palm Beach-based juice and smoothie bar will open in a Coral Gables strip mall (1430 S. Dixie Hwy.) Thursday, May 25, steps from Shake Shack, Green Monkey Yoga, and Spring Chicken.
The opening coincides with a recent Grubhub study showing Miamians order juice cleanses a whopping 583 percent more than any other city in the nation, which might explain Raw Juce’s steady 305 takeover.
The first Miami-Dade store opened about a year ago on Biscayne Boulevard just north of Aventura Mall, followed by a location in Miami Beach (959 West Ave., Suite 13). Cofounder Barry Rabkin plans to open a Brickell outpost this summer.
“It feels great to be expanding across Miami,” he says.
In addition to storefronts throughout the Magic City, Raw Juce has also opened locations in Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Weston within the past year. “We’re really just beginning, though,” he told New Times in May 2016. “We have some big plans in the works. We will definitely be expanding across the country. Whether it’s D.C., Texas, or New York first, we’ll be everywhere one day.”
Every location, from its decor to its menu and ingredients, is nearly identical. Every cold-pressed juice is made in a commissary kitchen in Boca and outsourced to locations across South Florida.
