About

Founded by chef Arleigh Rose as San Diego’s first juice truck at the North Park Farmer’s Market in March 2014, Juice Wave is a women-owned juice shop at 3733 Mission Blvd in Pacific Beach, 92109. Rose, who honed her craft in Michelin-starred kitchens before pivoting to cold-pressed nutrition, opened the brick-and-mortar location in April 2015 just steps from the sand. Every juice is cold-pressed on-site daily, and the team makes all nut butters, almond milk, and granola from scratch using ingredients sourced directly from local farmers markets. The boardwalk stretch near Bare Back Grill draws the same sun-and-surf crowd that lines up here on weekend mornings. Signature bowls rotate with the seasons, and the Wave Bowl—topped with bright blue and pink layers of pitaya and coconut sorbet—pays tribute to the San Diego Wave FC women’s soccer team. Google reviewers single out the Purple Rain smoothie and the homemade date-infused iced coffee as must-orders. The shop identifies as women-owned, holds a perfect 100-out-of-100 health inspection score, and welcomes dogs both inside and on the patio. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM, the small space operates on a first-come basis and closes when supplies run out, so early arrivals have the best selection. Pastry lovers exploring the neighborhood can also stop by The French Gourmet on Turquoise Street for fresh-baked bread and imported European provisions.
