The menu is a vibrant celebration of fresh, wholesome ingredients.

The Stress Down juice, praised for its subtle ginger warmth and balanced sweetness, is a popular pick that customers consistently rave about.

Sandwiches here are a revelation. The tuna/avocado sandwich wins accolades for its bold, savory fillings tucked inside a thin, crisp bread that offers an interesting texture contrast, while the addition of fresh greens like arugula elevates each bite to an artful balance of flavors. The turkey pesto option is another crowd favorite, crafted with care and attention that shines through in every mouthful.

I ordered from a different restaurant and was accidently delivered the wrong order, but am pleasantly surprised. I had heard of the store, but the prices were just too much. I got two tuna/avocado sandwiches and the drink "Iron Man". Sandwiches are pretty good, the bread is this thin/hard thing, but everything has a lot of flavor and the packaging is awesome. The drink is just an average smoothie, mostly just take the strawberry, but hoping that olive oil helps my gut. Overall not mad at the accident and I feel bad for the person who lost their order.

First time here. I had the “stress down”juice option. With Apple, Olive Oil, Strawberries, Ginger, Ice. It was flavorful not to sweet. Totally worth the price. This location has plenty of seating. There is construction outside. If you plan to sit outside it’s going to be loud. Highly recommend this location. Thank you!

Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the tuna is insanely good. I added arugula and it took the sandwich to another level — more balanced, more flavorful, just better overall. One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in SD. Would absolutely order this again.

The team at UTC Westfield Joe & The Juice location is always awesome! Fresh food, great service, and a welcoming vibe. Today they went above and beyond. I had placed an online order, but when we arrived, there was no record of it. After checking, we realized the app had switched the location from San Diego to New York (likely an IT glitch). Even though the mistake wasn’t on their end, the staff immediately stepped in, checked everything, and happily prepared our order without hesitation. Truly an outstanding experience and a perfect example of excellent customer service!

THE BEST!!! The green shield is the most perfect green juice. Sweet but bitterness filled with so many good greens!! They definitely have the best vanilla matcha. We had the spicy tunacado which was great! We came in 45 min before closing and the worker was eating behind the counter which was a little interesting but the drinks and food were great nonetheless.
