Zoe Acai Bar & Juicery Is Opening in the Former Bruegger's Bagels Space in Cambridge's Porter Square

A new dining spot that features bowls is on its way to Cambridge, opening in the space where a location of a chain of bagel places had been.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Zoe Acai Bar & Juicery is planning to open in Porter Square, moving into the old Bruegger's Bagels space on Mass. Ave. The Facebook page for the upcoming place indicates that it will offer acai bowls along with cold-pressed juices, though its website is not running yet so we have not been able to see a menu for the spot.

Jus Aspen May Be Opening in Boston's Beacon Hill

A juice bar and cafe that is located high in the mountains of Colorado may finally be moving forward with its opening of a second location in downtown Boston.

According to a tweet from State House reporter Mike Deehan, there appears to be work being done to Jus Aspen, which is moving into a space on Beacon Street across from the State House in the city's Beacon Hill area. The shop has been in the works for awhile now, as a hearing notice from late 2017 mentioned the place, and a sign has been up for it for quite some time. Jus Aspen (which is also known as JÜS Aspen and JÜS En Bonne Santé) first opened its doors in the wealthy Colorado ski town in 2016, with its offerings including soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps, smoothie bowls, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and more.

We have reached out to Jus Aspen to find out when the new shop might be opening, so stay tuned for updates.

The address for Jus Aspen in Beacon Hill is 22 Beacon Street, Boston, MA, 02108. The website for the Aspen shop can be found at https://www.jusaspen.com/

[March 9, 2021 update: It appears that plans for Jus Aspen to come to Beacon Hill may have fallen through, as @SamInBoston has tweeted a picture showing that Suffolk University is apparently taking over the space now.]

Pinkberry in Harvard Square Has Closed; Will Be Replaced by Pressed Juicery

A frozen yogurt chain has shut down its shop in Cambridge, and it will be replaced by a location of a chain of cold-pressed juice bars.

The Harvard Crimson is reporting that Pinkberry in Harvard Square is now closed and that Pressed Juicery will be moving into the Mass. Ave. space. The article says that the California-based chain of juice bars hopes to open in the late spring, with the place offering an array of juice options along with a soft-serve item that is made using a mix of fruits, vegetables, and nuts.

Pinkberry--which is also based in California--first opened in Harvard Square in 2011, taking over the space where Alpha Omega Jewelers had once been; a number of Pinkberry shops had been located in the Greater Boston area, but several of them have shut down over the past few years, with existing locations remaining in operation by BU in Boston, South Station, the Pru, Logan Airport, Chestnut Hill, Wellesley, and Braintree.

The address for the now-closed Pinkberry (and upcoming Pressed Juicery) is 1380 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02138.
