This juice bar and beloved local icon has been around for years and years. It’s not a trendy hang—the waitstaff are pretty transient, you’ll be served by backpackers—but that’s what makes it classic Coogee, and their takeaway drinks are all about fresh produce. Walk in, get your fresh coconut or apple juice, and go sit on that plush beach. Bliss. These days the store offers all kinds of finely tuned, decadent juice recipes, but I like to go old-school with a classic banana smoothie. It’s cash only, so come prepared.
