Agha Juice Lyndhurst

Agha Juice Lyndhurst is a juice and dessert bar in the Marriott Waters Shopping Centre at Shop 5b/10 Society Avenue, popular for fresh juices, smoothies, thick shakes and acai bowls. It is a casual walk-up spot rather than a sit-down restaurant, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating out front, which makes it a good treat stop after a walk rather than a destination in itself.

The dog setup

The seating sits outside the shopfront within the shopping centre's open walking area, and that is where dogs are welcome. Staff have been known to bring out a bowl of water for visiting dogs, but ask when you order rather than assuming one will appear. Keep your dog clear of the shopfront queue line, because it is a narrow walk-up counter and gets cramped when busy.

The menu

The menu leans sweet: fresh juices, smoothies, thick shakes and acai cups are the drawcards, with falooda, pistachio shakes and the Dubai chocolate strawberry among the things reviewers come back for. It opens late, from 11am to 11pm every day, so it works as an evening walk destination as well as an afternoon one. This is a treat stop, not a meal stop; eat first, juice after.

Getting there

The centre is on Society Avenue in Lyndhurst, with free on-site parking and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Marriott Waters Reserve sits just east of the shopping centre and is a solid green space for a walk before or after your stop, with quiet residential streets around it for a short on-lead stroll.

Close by with the dogs

For proper off-lead time, Cranbourne Drive Reserve Fenced Dog Park is a short drive south and Banjo Patterson Dog Park sits just west in Lynbrook. Miss Tilly's Delights is another dog-friendly cafe option in the next suburb over. More options across the state are on the Victoria cafes page, with everything local listed under Lyndhurst.
