Minto's Jamaican Patties & Juice Bar — Restaurant in Oakland

First time going to minto’s! I came here bc my bf has ONLY ever said good things!! I popped in after my workout & it was a little crowded. It’s such a small space so with 5 people in there, including myself, it seems crowded. Took about 10 mins to order but I don’t mind! I see there’s 2 hard-working guys at the front doing all the work. I finally ordered & got 2 chicken curry patties…DELICIOUS 🤤🤤🤤 & 1 green island smoothie (SO good) & 1 island paradise smoothie (a bit too sweet for me but I see why ppl would get it if they have a VERY sweet tooth!) for my bf.

Omg…& the older cashier was so sweet & very hospitable. He kept telling me “we’ll get to you in just a second.” Once my patties & smoothies were done, he walked out of the little area behind the counter to give me my drinks & food & asked if I worked near. I honestly don’t mind small chat & I think it’s really sweet when people try to get to know their customers a bit. I know we all have our days & we might wanna skip small talk but I thought that was rly sweet of him!! Will definitely be...

Everything was great—except the attitude from the cashier. First time there, and honestly, my last. Your attitude threw mine off; I was just trying to grab some lunch. These days, all it takes is one bad vibe and I’m done.

It’s a shame, too. Now we’re tipping at machines before we even get service, and then you get hit with an attitude? Makes me want my tip back.

Thanks for the “service”... not. BUT—I can’t lie—the smoothie and beef patty were smackin’.

To anyone reading this: the food is good, definitely worth trying. But I’m all about energy and vibes, and this one just didn’t sit right with me. You may continue to go there but...

Customer Service is excellent, greeted my husband and I when we walked in the door. Cozy Black Family owned Juice Bar located in the downtown area of Oakland. If your every passing through the Bay Area/Oakland and have a thirst for some all natural Live Juice this is thee SPOT !!! The best of the best Live Juices and more. OMG the beef/chicken & Veggie Pattie’s our hot and delicious…. They have a nice lil sitting area out front and a few stool in the inside while you wait. Make sure to make it before 5pm because they stop juicing...
