Skyebird

Great place to just unwind and have an awesome juice or smoothie. Staff is very helpful and explains the different flavors to help you make the right decision. Highly recommend.

My coworkers and I come here about once a week for the kombucha (anything with ginger is my favorite!). Pricey (especially the smoothies) but worth it. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and most days you can watch the employees in action washing/​chopping/​juicing the fruits and veggies that go into their delicious beverages. The vegan entrees are also good (obviously nothing beats real mac and cheese, but Skyebird’s ‘mac and trees’ is pretty good). Plus, bring back used mason jars and get a discount on your next purchase!

Juicing level: BOSS
Skyebird definitely knows what they’re doing when it comes to juices and smoothies. As someone who LOVES fresh juice and healthy nutritious smoothies, I’ve tried many spots in town that claim to be fresh. And Skyebird is one of the best! Every blend I’ve tried here has been out of this world. One the juice side, I love the Tropical Kale blend. For smoothies, the Berry Zing is usually my go-​to. But honestly, people, you can’t go wrong with any of their juices or smoothies. I encourage you to try them all at some point and find your favorite. Skyebird also has a small selection of «Other Elixirs,» which is primarily comprised of kombucha, tea and a few types of lemonade.
And then there is the food! I can rave about their food just as much as the fresh juices because it’s amazeballs. Fresh, healthy and light. The menu is small but it’s delish! I am especially fond of the zucchini pasta.
Skyebird has a great location in East End Market. It’s a small bar-​type set up, but it totally works. This business fits in with the vibes of East End, for sure. And it provides you with a really cool opportunity to check out some of the other local merchants while you’re sipping your delicious fresh juice.

I was happy to find a well-​reviewed raw vegan restaurant on our drive through Orlando. It seems to be unmarked from the outside, so trust your GPS and enter the building — you’ll find Skyebird a few store stalls down.
My initial impressions were apprehensive, as half of the juice options were sold out for the day, and the entrees seemed limited to the mason-​jarred salads in the small fridge on the counter. However we dove right in and ordered three different entrees for the three of us (zucchini marinara, falafel salad, and the daily special zucchini «mac & trees». After paying we weren’t told where or when to get our food so after a few minutes of confusion a different staff member asked what we ordered, and said they could bring the meals out to us on the patio. With that clarified, we went to sit down.
Around five minutes later, three beautifully plated meals were brought out. I was half-​expecting to be served a mason jar, but was relieved to get actual plates and bowls. If you can, do eat in, the presentation is so much more appealing than trying to mix and dig through layers of salad in a jar, and the outdoor patio is a lovely location decorated with plants and strings of lights.
The meals were all surprisingly delicious and filling. I did not have high expectations of the zucchini marinara but the sauce and beetballs honestly blew me away. They were my favorite of the three. The falafels in the salad were nice but somewhat over seasoned.
To end, I had a carrot cake smoothie, which is just as good as everyone else raves about, but be prepared to spend just as much as a meal. It was served in a 500ml mason jar.
I originally was really set on getting fresh juice, but did not order any when I learned that they are made in batches, not fresh, and none of the available juices were appealing to me at the moment (at least, not enough to pay the $ 10 for it.) Skyebird is not able to make custom juices for this reason. However, the advantage of having pre-​made juices is being able to sample them! So, I highly recommend trying a sample of the Thai Hot juice, which has lime, lemongrass, and jalapeño among other flavors. If I am able to return, I will definitely order a large of this juice.
One last thing to mention is the use of Mason jars for serving nearly everything. I admire and appreciate the effort to get away from disposables and materials that can potentially leach toxins. However, I also know what mason jars cost, and that cost in turn is getting passed on to the customer here. I would recommend that Skyebird offer a small discount to those eating in from plates instead of taking jars to go, and that customers have the option to immediately return a jar (for example, right after finishing a smoothie, while still on the property) for a small refund or credit.
Overall I really enjoyed my meal here and would recommend it.

Went in search of acai bowls… what they had were not actually acai bowls, more like a smoothie jar w granola. Went up to counter and wasn’t acknowledged for 10 mins, gentleman working had a very important conversation about vacation places to carry on w another customer and ignored us. Left and had real acai bowls at Juice’d downtown…¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I say this from deep down in my heart, their Carrot Cake smoothie is easily the best smoothie I have had in my entire life!
It’s that REAL!
It’s in a super cute market place, all plant-​based, organic, whole ingredients. AND, they let you keep the mason jar!
How freakin’ cool is that?!

I have been to Skyebird a few times. The Superfood smoothie (Almond milk, Cherries, Blueberries, Chlorella, Chia seeds, Matcha, Agave, Ginger, Lime) and the Ayrvedic Coffee (Almond milk, Dandy blend, Cacao, Coconut oil, Banana, Maple) are both really good. I have also tried the Tropical Kale juice (Kale, Cucumber, Pineapple, Ginger) — it has a perfect amount of pineapple and ginger to offset the bitterness of the kale. I have not yet tried their salads or Komucha, but I am looking forward to exploring those items on the menu soon. The only reason this review is 4 stars instead of 5 is because I sometimes feel a little awkward interacting with the employees. They are nice for the most part– but when I interact with them to place my order, I sometimes can’t help but feel like I am inconveniencing them.

We stumbled into this place by searching juice bars. It was my first time in Orlando and I got to try this place.
I love their Acai Bowls are really good. You could take them to go in Mason Jars. I also had the Experimental Juice and Alfredo Zucchini, both were really good.

If you like to eat foods that make your body thrive then this is the place for you.
Since they have opened I have enjoyed many of their juices and smoothies.
Some standouts are the following juices: I like to get the Health Boost when I feel like my body is fighting illness. For everyday juice I love the Beet Juice. There is only one juice I don’t favor just because I really don’t like large amounts of celery (but I can’t remember the name).
The Ayurvedic smoothie always attracts me because it will give you a natural kick in the morning but I haven’t had a bad smoothie there.
Once I was given a complementary jar of one of their salads and it was one of the best salads I have ever had — and it was raw.
Today I tried the quinoa porridge for the first time. I love how the crème of the almond milk complimented the texture of the quinoa. It was just sweet enough for my taste. I highly recommend it.
Adding to the appeal is the discount they give you for returning your used mason jar.
Healthy and eco-​friendly, you can’t go wrong here.
My only wish is that they were cheaper; I would be back all the time.

Let me first state: I am not one who juices. I usually crack jokes at friends and family who can’t chew their fruit and veggies. But after a long weekend of consuming way too many animal parts, I decided I needed a boost of nutrients. So I headed over to Skyebird to check out my options.
The menu is pretty long and everything sounded good, but I settled on the tropical kale and the Lizzy (watermelon and mint). I decided to get two, one to drink then and another for later. Go big or go home. The Lizzy was nice and refreshing, exactly what I wanted. It tasted like summer. I tasted the tropical kale and it was nice. A little of a funky after taste, but still good. I plan to drink it today for lunch.
I also tried my boyfriend’s pearberry smoothie, which was really good too. We both agreed maybe this should replace our weekend ritual involving bacon and loads of coffee every now and then. Although with Lineage a few steps away, maybe we will keep the coffee part of the equation.
The staff was really friendly and helpful. I didn’t see the Lizzy on the menu at first, and when I noticed it I was able to swap out one of the juices I had already paid for for it. The juices are not made on the spot, which I don’t mind because I am too impatient to wait anyway. And you can see the folks behind the counter slicing and dicing up veggies, so obviously they are still freshly made.
This is yet another awesome business occupying the East End Market. Such a great addition to our local food scene.

What a chill spot to sip on some refreshing drinks and write a Unilocal review lol. I tried the herbal iced tea called Honeybush (a type of red tea). It was the perfect drink to combat this hot FL weather. I will definitely come back and try their cold press and smoothies!

True delicious and healthy options for anyone!!! Load up on your fruits and veggies while sitting in the east end garden sipping on a refreshing smoothie!!! The smoothies are not grainy or chunky in most other places, just smooth and flavorful!!! Don’t miss this little gem.

I had a wonderful experience at Skybird. The Lavender Lemonade was so good! I’ll be back.

I like vegetables. I really do. But sometimes, I forget. You’d think that would be a simple thing to remember: «Spinach is good! Kale is tasty! Asparagus is awesome!» But it just doesn’t stick in my brain. Somehow, the idea gets mangled by meat and sugar and french fries and various other non-​vegetable foods that I try to eat less of so I can leave room for important (and clearly tasty!) vegetable things. So, if you’re like me and you occasionally get behind on your vegetable quota, you’re going to want to go to Skyebird. It’s like getting a hypospray jet injection of green goodness.
Their revitalizing juices aren’t just tasty; they know how to perfectly combine flavors to make each sip exquisitely satisfying. I know that sounds like something I lifted from a food magazine, and it pains me a little bit to say it. But sometimes truths are simple, and simplicity is ubiquitous and bland. But somehow that doesn’t apply to Skyebird. It transforms simple greens into something richly complex. It’s like some kind of magic trick. Their logo depicts a zoomorphic serving glass which has taken on attributes of a bird-​of-​paradise. Is this strange bird behind the secret alchemy-​like techniques of Skyebird? Do we need Mulder and Scully to investigate the truth?
Actually, it’s no magic. The complexities have always been in the greens themselves. We’ve just been too shallow to see it. Well, Weird Magic Bird Thing, thanks for reminding me. You are awesome.

As a person who believes in the health benefits of juicing; I find myself coming up with any excuse to stop by here. I wish I could say first and foremost that it’s because it’s healthy, but the truth is that… Everything that I’ve tried from Skyebird tastes really good!
Have you had their pizza kale chips? They’re so crunchy and flavorful! It’s hard to believe that a vegetable can really taste that awesome! Their juices are great but I personally find that the real gem is in their smoothies because you get to enjoy the different textures of the fruit/​veg/​nuts a bit better, it’s the same as if you were having a milkshake except that you’re not kicking yourself and running out to the gym afterwards out of guilt.
It may seem expensive, but if you’ve personally ever gone out and bought ingredients to make juices at home (especially with organic produce) their price point will make sense to you, juicing is not cheap and yet when compared to dining out, it is a better alternative price-​wise in many respects. Nothing (except maybe a bowl of phở) will beat the way you feel afterwards, it really is worth it.
If you’re not really in the mood for a juice they have other raw and healthy options, their salads are really creative and delicious. They offer Cashew cream in some of their dishes; cashew cream? That’s what I said the first time I heard of it and then I tried it and it was insanely delicious and a very good vegan alternative!
During my visits the staff has always been very nice. They came out with a new flavor of kale chips recently and when I asked if they had samples, the guy brought me a container full of the kale chips and said I could have as much as I wanted; and of course I ended up buying some cause they were fabulous!
Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the area and want a healthier and creative alternative; healthy food can indeed be delicious!

The BEST smoothies and juices. Juices are pre-​made so they are properly chilled. Makes for a refreshing and healthy treat. I really love a smoothie from here because they make their own almond milk. No added sugars, yogurts, sorbet, or faux protein like the chain juice and smoothie shops. I only wish that they were on my way to work so I could get one everyday.

If you’re looking for delicious, cold pressed juice Skyebird is the spot! Nestled in the East End Market, Skyebird offers delicious juices made with local, organic ingredients. The juices are perfect to enjoy when you’re craving something delicious, are feeling under the weather & need a pick me up, or even as a meal replacement. In addition to juices they offer kombucha teas & delicious raw vegan treats they make with leftover pulp from the juices. Make sure to try their falafel salad, it’s oh so tasty!
This place is almost a 5-​star for me, only thing holding it back is it’s pricing, it’s on the pricey side. I think many more people in the area would get juices if they were more affordable. Other than that thumbs up!

I like to believe Skyebird juices and smoothies help offset all of the unhealthy things I eat the rest of the week. Just let me have my dreams, ok?
I’ve had several of their juices (Tropical Kale, Fresh Beets) and they are all delicious. My go-​to smoothie is Skye’s Fave. I’ve tried to recreate it at home several times and it never tastes the same. Their version is so damn refreshing. My version, to quote Mike W., «tastes like dirt.» So whenever I need a smoothie fix I reach for my keys, not my blender.
Juice prices range between $ 6 and $ 8, while smoothies are $ 8 or $ 10. Don’t forget to bring back your jar to get $ 0.50 off your next purchase.

I have yet to try any of their tasty-​looking meals, but their juices are the real deal.
Did I drop over $ 100 on a premium Champion brand juicer? Yes. Have I used it in the past 90 days? No. The truth is that I love fresh juices (particularly veggie ones), but the set-​up is a real commitment at home and I find that I haven’t kept up with it.
That’s why I was jazzed to find Skyebird. They do all of the work for me and blend awesome fruits and veggies into great juices. I recently went in when I was feeling sick and I mentioned that to the owner (who happened to be manning the register) to which she recommended the healthy green Immune Boost juice. She then proceeded to add tamarind to the juice because she said that it would help. Wow– that’s customer service!
The juices are delicious and they make you feel good. What more can I ask for?

Yowza! Hooray for the opening of this organic juice bar and experimental kitchen.
I was able to preview them at the Barre3 Unilocal Event a couple months ago and they really whetted my appetite. When I visited them for the first time last week, I immediately fell in love with their entire set up at the East End Market. Their whole look is very industrial fused with natural aspects.
Service was a little slow on the get-​go. There were two people in the kitchen, but they weren’t responsible for the counter it seems — then a guy came out of nowhere and got our order. lol.
My boyfriend got Skye’s Fave and I had the Spicy Lemonade. Wow, that lemonade has a kick! It almost gets unpleasant after awhile, but if they lighten up on the jalapeño, I’d definitely get it again. I really liked Skye’s Fave, but I felt that it was a little expensive for the amount.
The kale chips are the bomb-​diggedy. Seriously, they’re the perfect, guilt-​free snack for anyone. xD They have pineapple jerky too, but I haven’t tried that yet.
PRO-​TIP: The mason jars they give you are reusable to-​go cups! Grab a lid and bring it back next time for $ 0.50 off. SO AWESOME!
