Intentions Juice and Smoothie Bar: Besa Gordon’s South Tacoma Spotlight
By Besa Gordon - Hey friends! Have you been to Intentions Juice and Smoothie Bar yet? 👀 Located on South Tacoma Way near Edison Square, this Black-owned gem is all about sowing good intentions into every customer. You might remember seeing Marquita Evans and her shop featured on Back2Besa during our Support Black Business spotlight—and trust me, this place is STILL a whole vibe!
Whether you're craving a cold-pressed juice, a smoothie bowl, or my fave snack (avocado toast), Intentions always comes through. Some fun facts:
🥤 Smoothies are customizable with protein powder, flaxseed, chia seed, and more
🖼️ It doubles as an event space—think paint & sips, book signings, and community meetups
🛋️ It’s got the comfiest couch (yes, I journaled there)
🧃 Ingredients are fresh, not pureed—because quality matters
💳 They even accept the Buy Black Card by Intentionalist
This time, I grabbed a turmeric #WellnessShot, their #AvocadoToast, and a pesto cheese sandwich
Pull up, grab something nourishing, and maybe meet someone dope from the community.
