A freshly squeezed juice - full of vitamins and wholesome goodness - is a drink that can be enjoyed all year around. In winter, it can help counteract all the cold and flu germs that are hanging around - and in the warmer months, it is simply a refreshing drink to keep you healthy from the inside. If you are looking for a quick takeaway option, there are several Boost Juice and Top Juice locations around the city, with a wide range of immunity-boosting ingredients and flavours to choose from. If you enjoy visiting some of Canberra's local cafes, there are also numerous places where you can have breakfast or lunch with a freshly squeezed or pressed juice. The following are some of the ones we have discovered, however if you have another favourite, please add it to the top of this article. You can never try too many!

Fox and Bow is a small café, located in the Farrer shops in Woden. This local's café is one of my personal favourites, with consistently delicious food and great service every time. Next to Fox and Bow is a colourful mural which draws your attention throughout the meal, creating a creative and positive atmosphere to this cute café. They also offer a range of smoothies and juices - with the two juices on offer the "Ed Sheeran - with carrot, ginger, celery, turmeric & orange" and the "Sam Pang - with watermelon, orange, pineapple, passionfruit & mint" ($8.90) - with the Sam Pang a particular standout!

It is more than just a café, as it has floor-to-ceiling stain glass windows which are also a piece of art, created by artist Leonard French.

Dobinson's is a bakery and café located on the busy Bunda Street in the CBD.
