Cuffie Ridge Jamaican Vegan Café

One of the best smoothie bowls I’ve had, hands down. Cuffie Ridge is tiny, comforting, and full of character. Most people order online and swing through for pickup, but if you hang for a bit, sit at the counter, and talk with the boys behind it while reggae plays, it feels incredibly cozy — like a true neighborhood spot. Summertime patio is the best too. The smoothie bowl was unreal. Perfect texture, balanced, fresh, and clearly made with care. It looks beautiful, but more importantly, it tastes intentional. Nothing about this place feels rushed or generic. If you’re in Greenpoint and want something nourishing that still feels comforting, Cuffie Ridge is absolutely worth stopping into.

Great burger and good people. I also got to learn about the history of Jamaican people and how so many of them are well versed in natural health.

Super chill staff and amazing smoothies, genuinely flavors I have never tasted before. The ingredients are always fresh, and everything is made to order. Constantly high quality and consistent. Will even say it's my favorite smoothie in NYC, as a sort of smoothie connoisseur.

Cuffie Ridge Vegan Cafe & Juice Bar is a fantastic Black-owned business with a great variety of fresh, healthy vegan options, from soups and sandwiches to acai bowls, patties, juices, and smoothies. I tried the jerk tofu sandwich, perfectly seasoned with just the right heat, complemented by vegan mayo, cheese, and fresh veggies. The “Meadows” green smoothie was a creamy, energizing blend of almond milk, bananas, dates, and more. The owner, G, was welcoming and knowledgeable, and the cafe was clean with cozy seating options. Great vibes!

Came in for an açaí bowl and left with that and an ackie Pattie! The gentleman running the shop was super friendly and gave great suggestions. Highly recommend for vegans! Will definitely be back!
