Health Bar Cafe
189 Brunswick St, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Health Bar Cafe in Jersey City is a smoothie-focused spot with creative signature blends named after pop culture characters like the Optimus Prime and Thor, where barista Eli stands out for her warmth and handmade dateballs that keep customers coming back. The vibe is laid-back and friendly, though consistency in drink preparation and operational reliability seem to need some work. If you're after affordable, protein-packed smoothies and genuine hospitality in a casual setting, it's worth a visit—just maybe call ahead to confirm they're open.”

Came by at 1:30 in the afternoon. Place was closed. Someone was sitting in there wearing a red shirt but when I called nobody answered.
Smoothies are on the cheaper side, but still have protein and are delicious!
The barista did not make the smoothies correctly. I ordered the Optimus prime and saw them putting in spinach when spinach should have gone in the Eli’s mom. The smoothies tasted like juice with chunks of spinach in it and the Eli’s mother was way to sweet. I spent $20 and had to throw the smoothies both away.
Pretty good vibes and service. I thought the Thor would be juiced but it was blended.
Eli is the friendliest and most professional barista! I lOVE the dateballs she makes!!!
