The moment you step into Miami Squeeze, the scent of fresh citrus and herbs greets you; a promise of vibrant flavors and good vibes in the heart of North Miami Beach. This isn’t just a juice bar; it’s a local landmark where health, flavor, and community meet under the South Florida sun.
Born in Paris, France, and raised in Montreal, Canada, Fabrice Levi, the owner of this South Florida hotspot, brings a worldly touch to Miami’s wellness scene.
“I'm a big fan of healthy food,” offered Levi, “and it was always my dream to open a restaurant with a healthy concept.”
A neighborhood staple for over 30 years, Miami Squeeze has always had a loyal following, but Levi saw untapped potential when he took over.
“It’s a landmark, but it wasn’t really meeting its full potential,” he explains. “When I bought this place, I had a vision of taking it to the next level.”
Origin Story and Brand Vision
And leveling up is exactly what he did. Just minutes from the luxury Sunny Isles coastline, Miami Squeeze brings the tropical, feel-good energy that defines Miami living. For Levi, it’s more than just food—it’s a lifestyle.
“We wanted a place where health and flavor meet,” he says. “Everything we do comes back to freshness, natural ingredients, and community.”
From the morning crowd stopping in for post-workout smoothies to families grabbing lunch after services, Miami Squeeze has become a destination for health-conscious locals and visitors alike—a spot that feeds the body and uplifts the spirit.

Smart Timing: Turning Off-Peak Hours into Happy Hours
To keep traffic steady throughout the day, Miami Squeeze introduced a Healthy Happy Hour between 3 and 5 p.m.—a clever move that bridges the afternoon lull. Instead of the traditional bar-style promotion, Levi uses this window to feature light bites and smoothies, encouraging repeat visits from morning regulars and nearby professionals finishing their workday.
“It keeps the energy flowing between lunch and dinner,” Levi says. “People know they can swing by for something refreshing after work or before their evening workout.”
Morning Momentum: Breakfast That Builds Traffic Early
Miami Squeeze also maximizes early-morning foot traffic with a $12 Fresh Breakfast special from 8 to 10 a.m. Featuring their best-selling wraps, acai bowls, and smoothies, the offer draws in health-conscious customers before the workday begins—turning what could be a slow start into a steady stream of loyal regulars.
“It’s all about building routine,” Levi explains. “People stop by on their way to work, and it becomes part of their morning habit.”
Packaging and Delivery
Miami Squeeze’s commitment to freshness doesn’t stop at the counter. Every order—whether it’s a smoothie, wrap, or catering platter—is designed to travel well.
“We use eco-friendly products,” Levi explains. “We want our customers to feel like they just walked into the store—even when they’re ordering delivery.”

“It’s part of the service,” Levi added. “We like to make it easy for people to enjoy fresh food anywhere.”
The Secret Sauce: What Keeps People Coming Back
When asked what makes Miami Squeeze so successful, Levi didn't hesitate.
“We give a combo of great service, good prices, and a lot of love. We treat customers like family.”
That connection is felt the moment you walk in—the upbeat music, the friendly staff, and Levi himself, often greeting guests personally.
“I’m here every day at 7 a.m. I’m hands-on, ready to deal with challenges as they come up."
“It’s a challenging field, but I love what I do. Our concept is about happy people. It’s like a mini getaway.”
Community-Centric Vibes
More than just a restaurant, Miami Squeeze has become a local hub for wellness, music, and connection.
Frequently partnering with local fitness studios and wellness brands for community gatherings, “we sponsor a lot of fun events, from our 'Wellness Woofs' to our 'Pilates and Pups Plunge.' We also host a Backgammon Club every Tuesday and hand out free samples to keep the neighborhood engaged and connected.
