Beraka Juice ★

Beraka Juice serves organic cold-pressed juices, shots, smoothies and açaí bowls, with a location at Kendall in Cambridge and another in Winthrop. Alongside juices, the menu features Purity nut mylks and lattes, toast and fresh grab-and-go food. The business also pops up at farmers’ markets and events around the Boston area. Its stated mission is to help customers feel energized, refreshed and spiritually connected to the best version of themselves with every sip.

Owners Vanessa and Sylvestre built the business on their Christian faith, a push toward healthier living and a desire to offer their community organic options. Vanessa left an engineering job in the years after 2016 and began juicing at home, frustrated that there were no juice bars nearby. When a friend suggested she become the one to provide fresh juice locally, she started developing recipes and learning how to run a business through workshops and seminars.
