Who We Are

Hey, We’re Good Judys. An organic juice bar, smoothie shop, and healthier corner store.

  • To make healthy foods fun and accessible, while providing a safe, inclusive space for our community.

  • If you’ve wondered what would happen if a Physician Assistant and a Yoga Teacher/Marketing person opened a juice bar and healthy-ish corner store… now you know! We’re Connor and Dean, the founders of Good Judy’s and it’s so great to meet you!

  • Nope! We’re homegrown and locally-owned. We crafted this space, and our menu specifically for the greater Grand Rapids community. Our goal was to make the best smoothies, juices, salads, and toasts in Grand Rapids. This is our one and only location…. (so far).

  • We keep things as local as possible. We partner with FarmLink to source much of our produce from farms within 50 miles of our shop. When local isn’t available, we choose ethical, vetted farmers and producers who meet our quality standards.

    > You’ll find bread from Field & Fire (IYKYK) and goods from local farms and makers like Crisp Country Acres, Heidi’s Farmstand, Vertical Paradise, Granola Goddess, and Early Bird Granola. We aim to balance certified organic foods with farmers who use organic practices but can’t afford certification. It’s a complex system, but our goal is simple: the freshest, healthiest, highest-quality food for you.

  • We brought a big-city vibe to our corner of the world. Inspired by Big Night, Pop-Up Grocer, and our favorite shoppy shops, we curate an ever-changing lineup of better-for-you snacks from minority-owned and small businesses.

Our store exist to be a safe space for our community.

Our product philosophy

We’re firm believers that real, plant-based foods and ingredients are life changing and inspiring. We’re dedicated to using only the best organic and or local produce to craft your drinks and meals. Real, plant-based foods have the power to heal our bodies (yes we know that sounds new age-y) but it’s true!

Real, plant-based foods are healing

We're on a mission to meet you where you’re at, regardless if you’re just getting started or you’re decades into your health journey. Also, sometimes eating a cookie is what you need to thrive in the moment and we’re totally here for that too!

We’re here to help you feel great!

We’re here to help you feel great!

We think that everyone deserves access to the best foods nature has to offer. We also believe in supporting minority-owned small businesses over massive corporations that’s why over 75% of our suppliers are founded by women, POCs, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

What do you get when a Physician Assistant and a yoga instructor/marketing guy open a juice bar? Good Judy’s — the fruitiest place in Grand Rapids, MI. We’re proudly minority-owned (LGBTQIA+) and push hard to support other minority-owned brands and small businesses.
