Absolute neighborhood gem! The owner and all of the employees are so nice and welcoming. It’s clear there is a community base of repeat customers. Top notch Highwire coffee and delicious smoothies are going to be calling to me every morning now that we’ve discovered this bright spot. We had the “Tap this back” and the double time smoothies plus a latte. Our friends raved about the avocado toast and golden milk as well. Can’t wait to go back and try more! There is indoor and outdoor bar seating and located on Piedmont Ave so great to walk around after or while enjoying your smoothie.

Ridebar has the best smoothies around. My favorite right now is the epic ride sub mixed berries for banana and add 2 scoops of whey. After a workout, I can feel my body thanking me. The bar is calming and not over stimulating and the staff is so friendly. I also love the cappuccino with oat milk:) my new obsession is the lavender matcha with less syrup add creatine and whey. They will blend it up and it's super frothy and delicious!

So Ride Bar is this perfect little smoothie spot that just gets everything right. The staff, especially Nina who’s absolutely amazing, are actually happy to see you. The smoothies are legitimately good - like, someone who knows what they’re doing made this and didn’t just dump frozen fruit into a blender and call it a day. The whole place has this warm energy where people are genuinely having fun. It’s what you want a neighborhood spot to be - friendly, unpretentious, just a good time. Compare that to Berkeley Bowl, where ordering a smoothie becomes this whole production with passive-aggressive staff making drinks that taste like they hate you personally. It’s like they’re doing you a favor by taking your money for something that tastes like grass clippings. But Ride Bar? Nina and the crew are just happy you’re there. Good smoothies, good vibes, good people. Sometimes the simple things are the best things, and this place nails all of them.

Thank you to the lady working June 20th at 9am, for improvising spinach and kale on avocado toast in lieu of micro-greens. Delicious!
