Island Market Smoothie & Juice Bar — whole-food smoothie & juice bar on Gulf Street

The concept

Founders Brittany and Morgan are surfers and travelers who built Island Market to bring the whole-food fuel they relied on in Brazil, Hawaii, and Mexico back home to the Texas coast. The menu is built on an explicit commitment: no highly processed junk, no hidden sugars, no filler powders — only pure, raw, fresh ingredients with organic add-ins where possible. Everything is prepared transparently and made fresh to order.

Unlike traditional juice bars that only pour liquids, Island Market runs a full breakfast-to-dinner kitchen with wholesome lunches and savory dinners alongside its blended drinks.

What Island Market does well

• Clean, transparent whole-food kitchen — explicit commitment to no hidden sugars or filler powders.
• Powerhouse açaí bowls done right — thick organic açaí base, no watery cutting, so toppings stay afloat.
• Full breakfast-to-dinner menu — not just smoothies. Wholesome lunches and savory dinners alongside the blended drinks.
• Easy golf-cart pickup on the way to the beach — Gulf Street location lets you grab a cold smoothie or bowl and take it straight onto the sand.

What to order

• Classic Açaí Powerhouse Bowl — thick organic açaí base piled with gluten-free hemp granola, sliced bananas, strawberries, local honey, and a premium superfood drizzle like raw almond butter.
• Lox Bagel — toasted bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onions, capers, and fresh dill.
• Avocado Toast — thick-cut artisanal toast with smashed avocado, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and microgreens.
• "Green Room" spinach-and-kale blends for clean energy.
• Premium protein smoothies for post-surf recovery.
• Afternoon and dinner — Island Tacos and Quesadillas with fresh pico de gallo, lean proteins, and crisp side salads.
• Iced matcha lattes, high-quality espresso drinks, and herbal teas.
