Get Your Voila Juice Today!
We are very excited to announce that Voila! Juice is now available at Bianchini’s. Voila Juice has been a part of the Bay Area since 1978. Starting with a single cart at the Berkeley BART station selling fresh squeezed juices and smoothie blends. Word of mouth quickly spread and Voila was a hit. Before long, Voila upgraded their operation to a small factory, began bottling their products and selling to local supermarkets. Over the years, Viola upgraded to a full-fledged juice extraction facility, expanded their selections and grew their customer base. Voila cold-pressed juices and non-dairy smoothies can now be found in many of the Bay Area’s top restaurants and bars, catering companies, and now, your local Bianchini’s Market.
“We couldn’t be happier about launching with Bianchini’s. Bianchini’s is committed to their local communities, and we’re incredibly thankful for their support of local Bay Area food and beverage producers like Voila.”
– Tim Sharp, General Manager, Voila Juice
