WongaGyal x Yello Juice Bar: Cabbage Patch
Cabbage juice? Ain’t no wayyyy. But yes way! Purple cabbage adds the most vibrant colour and health benefits, and everything else gives it the most delicious and refreshing flavour.
WongaGyal x Yello Juice Bar: Liz’s Carrot Juice
You haven’t had carrot juice until a JAMAICAN has made you carrot juice. It may not be the healthiest version of the vibrant vegetable, but hey, it’s got a kick that you’ll love. Whether you call it carrot juice or carrot punch, please drink responsibly.

WongaGyal x Yello Juice Bar: Lime-Melon-Ade
The perfect summer cool down beverage: Watermelon, Lime & a dash of Honey. Easy like a summer morning!

WongaGyal x Yello Juice Bar: PapaMango Madness!
