Juicy Shakes is a relaxed, cheerful juice and smoothie bar at 83 Charminster Road, BH8 8UE, close to the run of cafés along Charminster and easy to reach on foot from East Cliff. The name tells you most of what you need to know: fresh fruit, blended shakes and a menu that leans towards the healthy end without being preachy about it.
Drinks and food
Behind the counter, a changing line-up of smoothies and gourmet milkshakes is joined by protein shakes for anyone calling in around a gym session. On the food side, breakfast is served all day. The Full English is what many regulars order, and there are Mediterranean-inspired plates such as falafel, with vegan versions for anyone steering clear of meat and dairy. The owners make a point of buying ingredients locally and supporting nearby producers, and that freshness comes through in what arrives at the table.
Good to know
There's no booking system at Juicy Shakes: you walk in and order at the counter, and dogs are welcome indoors. The place has earned a solid local reputation, with reviewers on Google, Tripadvisor and Yell consistently scoring the food, service and atmosphere highly.

It opens every day, roughly from breakfast until early evening, but confirm current hours before making a special journey.
