Vegan and Juice

Vegan and Juice, registered under the business name Vegans Natural Juice Inc, operates on SW 107th Avenue near Sweetwater’s southern edge, close enough to Florida International University that the campus sits just across the city line. Directory listings describe the shop’s core offering plainly: natural fruit juice made fresh in front of customers, alongside a vegan food menu, a combination that has carved out a specific niche distinct from the Latin American cafeterias and steakhouses that dominate much of Sweetwater’s food scene.

The business has reportedly operated at this address for roughly 22 years, putting its founding around 2004, a notably long run for a health-food-oriented juice bar, a category of business that has often struggled with turnover in less health-focused commercial corridors. Its survival for two decades on SW 107th Avenue suggests it has built a genuinely loyal customer base, quite possibly including FIU students and staff drawn to a nearby vegan and juice option, alongside neighborhood residents.

Vegan and Juice keeps weekday-focused hours, opening at 10 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a shorter Saturday schedule from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and no Sunday service at all. That schedule points to a business oriented around weekday customers, whether from FIU or the surrounding commercial and residential blocks, rather than weekend leisure traffic, and free lot parking is listed among the business’s noted features, a practical amenity in a part of Sweetwater where street parking can be tight.

Customer reviews referenced in directory listings have been positive, with specific praise for the fresh, made-to-order nature of the juice preparation and for friendly staff. That kind of feedback is consistent with a small, owner-operated juice bar that emphasizes visible, fresh preparation as a selling point over packaged or pre-made offerings, a model that depends on repeat customers who value watching their order made from whole fruit on the spot.

For Sweetwater and FIU-area residents looking for a vegan or fresh-juice option distinct from the city’s otherwise Latin American and Central American-focused food scene, Vegan and Juice offers a long-established alternative just off SW 107th Avenue. Its two decades in one location, combined with consistently positive customer feedback on its core juice offering, suggest a small business that has found a stable niche in a neighborhood built primarily around very different kinds of food service.

The shop’s exact address places it within the same short block as a 24-hour Cuban restaurant, a Central American restaurant and liquor bar, and a Chinese restaurant, giving this particular corner of SW 107th Avenue an unusually varied lineup of independent food options for such a small stretch of street. For anyone working through that row of restaurants looking for something lighter than a full sit-down meal, a fresh-pressed juice or simple vegan plate from this shop offers a practical alternative within a short walk.
