“Visited OakBerry Açaí in Hollywood and was pleasantly surprised to find one in Los Angeles. Loved the variety of options they offer with their açaí bowls—fresh, flavorful, and customizable. A great spot for a healthy and refreshing treat. Would definitely visit again!“

“Had the Thai bowl... YUM!“

“You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say. Let’s begin this elite review. :D

The Source Cafe (est 2017) is a popular and fun little breakfast spot right on Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach. It has a cool vibe, lots of fun things on the menu, healthy smoothies, and baked pastries. Interior design and layout were brilliant with abundant natural light.

We came on an early weekend morning to grab breakfast; it was my first time at this cafe. I was warmly greeted by a male staff with a smile. I ordered an iced coffee and avocado toast. Both items were solid. Breakfast AT was delightful and healthy.
Services were spot on. Prices were fair for the area. Plenty of street metered parking.

Overall, this cafe is a good spot for breakfast. I recommend it.“

“Delicious fruit bowls!! You should try them!“

“The best açaí I’ve ever had. And I’m from Brazil and know what a good and authentic açaí is! And the service at this place is outstanding! Our attendant Bryan was very kind and attentive with our order! Loved it! Thank you!“

“Nice place, the real Brazilian açaí ☀️“

“My favorite juice bar every time I complete my workout. I love coming to pick up a Nice smoothie to hold me over for a few hours. Everything is always made fresh and tasty. Sometimes I wanna come in here even when I’m not working out to grab a juice or a smoothie I recommend even if you’re not working out just come in and buy one.customer service is top tier.“

“family owned and operated“

“Lived around the neighborhood for a while, didn't realize how close this place was from my house.It's so good and delicious.One of my favorites is the mango.Smoothie, when i'm telling you that it's super refreshing I love how it's very slushy, like not watery, but perfect.
The people there are very friendly and nice.Good customer service“

“First time visiting this store, the lady at the register was helpful with helping me pick the best drink for myself. I do wish I was greeted when I entered the store; instead the lady mopping just looked at me, but spoke to the family that walked in immediately after me & I would hate to pull the race card. Other than that interaction, the experience was fine.“

“Everything about here is outstanding. Right when you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff. Everything that my group tried was absolutely amazing. We got açaí bowls, protein smoothies, the breakfast sandwich, and the avocado toast. My favorite, by far, is the breakfast sandwich. Definitely recommend“

“Refreshing fresh juices. Have to stop in if you’re in the area.“

“This is a small outpost of the bigger Kreation chain, but by far the most service oriented. The manager Caroline is so far above and beyond, in terms of her people skills and client centered service. On a street filled with juice places, I go to Kreation to grab a juice and be treated like it matters that I'm a customer.“

✅ Verdict & Recommendations

Juice Crafters in Marina del Rey is a solid pick if you’re in the mood for a health-oriented smoothie / juice / bowl spot. Its strengths are in its menu variety, fresh ingredients, and convenience. However, expect some inconsistency in blending or portion size, especially with delivery.

If I were you, here are a few tips:
• Go in-person (not via delivery) if you want the best texture and presentation.
• Try a popular item (e.g. one of their signature bowls or cold-pressed juices) to test their consistency.
• Inspect the packaging on delivery (make sure it’s sealed) and send feedback if it’s not.
• Visit during non-peak hours to avoid rushed orders.“

“I ordered Bionicos and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Milkshake. My daughter loved the milkshake and still keeps talking about how good it was.

My bionics was great! I was able to eliminate the fruits I did not want (any melon), and the cream was good. The portion size was great and I could not stop eating it. Me and family look forward to eating there again.“

“I was overcharged for a book.“

“Everything about this place is PERFECTION. The owner, Plern, is an absolute genius! Plern has so much talent and puts all her heart into this place. You really feel like you’re being cared for here.“

“Smoothies were delicious. I ordered the hang over and my friend got the açai one. Hoped for a quick drink stop before I had to go to work. However, there was only one staff and not too many customers (one ahead of me in line and one waiting on an order) yet I was there for over half an hour from the time I walked in. Staff was friendly but I dont understand how it took so long. Other customers behind me in line were drunk and chatty which gave for an interesting atmosphere.“

“A barebones juice and healthy shake bar with bright and friendly cashiers.

I ordered the Greek Coffee (coffee, figs, dates, cardamom, cacao, banana and almond milk) and would give it an 8/10. The flavors could be better balanced to let the almond and banana shine more than the dates.

Prices are definitely steep but the portions are generous. I could’ve easily split my $15 shake with someone else.“

“This was literally one of the best salads I’ve ever had. You’re going to become a regular in our rotation.“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“Best sandwiches. Everything is delicious. Made to your liking. Custom made“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful!“

“Kreation Grab & Go in Marina del Rey is exactly what you’d expect from the name—a quick stop for health-conscious food and drinks, packed into a space that’s barely bigger than a walk-in closet. That said, they make the most of every inch. The fridge cases are stocked with cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, protein snacks, and pre-packaged meals that are actually fresh and flavorful. If you’re trying to keep it clean—gluten-free, organic, low-sugar, plant-based—this spot has your back.

What it’s missing is any real atmosphere. There’s no place to sit, hang out, or even really pause. It’s grab-and-go in the most literal sense. But honestly, that’s kind of the point. This isn’t a café or a place for long lunches—it’s a functional pit stop for people who want to fuel up with something healthy and get on with their day.

Service is quick and friendly, and everything feels intentional, if not particularly warm. Pricing is Kreation-level, so you’re paying a premium, but the quality is consistent. For locals or anyone heading to the beach or gym, it’s a convenient way to make a good choice fast.

Four stars for solid products, great convenience, and health-first options—just don’t expect cozy.“

“A fantastic fantastic cafe for brunch with an outstanding vibe and atmosphere
Great GF option options and Breakfast was one of the tasty and delicious GF’s my son has eaten. Perfect coffee that rival’s Melbourne and beautiful smoothie. Highly recommended, a gem we stumbled upon whilst looking for a cafe on Thanksgiving morning.“

“If I could rate 100 stars I would. If I could even file a personal tax form with this place I would. I am so addicted to the acai and the eervicd this place provides. Friendly staff and the best acai in LA county. Unlimited toppings unlike some locations (Ktown ):) and it’s close to the beach so you could vibe and eat acai by the beach.“

“Agua fresca and ice cream so good,variety of flavors 😋😋😋“

“I love this place so much. Its not a huge selection of product, but it does have a few things that you might want to purchase. I know I was there for the yellow watermelon and it was so good 😋 I went back in for another cup and the honey punch drink. 10/10 recommend 👌🏾“

“I love this boba place so much! There are tables to work at and the environment is calming. The cat drawing collection on the wall continues to increase each time I come in. Many teenagers like to come here to study and draw after school and on weekends. The staff is super sweet and helpful. I really love the green tea boba but they have some really good smoothies as well.“

“Always satisfied with the freshest ingredients ‼️❤️“

“The tortas are delicious and have been a favorite of ours for years now. My favorite torta es de pierna con jamon with all the fixings. Can't go wrong with the jugos and smoothies either, everything is freshly made to order. Love supporting small businesses and nuestro raza ❤“

“This location is the best one! The staff are always nice and they make their bowls completely neater and way better than the location on Crenshaw blvd. This location is further away but I def recommend because the spot feels cleaner, nicer vibe, and they follow requests on the orders“

“Wish there was one in the LBC but probably good there isn't bc I'd be spending like all my money there lol. Moon Juice will always be my absolute fave. It's my personal vision for the future. High nutrient, apothecary level, zero waste food available as plentiful as McDonald's lol. So thankful for the creatrix that is Amanda Chantal Bacon and all she has taught me and enriched my existence with! The flagship location is amazing and I make my way there anytime I'm in the vicinity. I love the girls who work there and appreciate the thoughtful chats and shilajit shots. 😉“

“I love that most of the nutritional information is posted online on Qwench's website. I'm on Weight Watchers and happily use points for the G-Bowl. It's wonderful! :)“

“Definitely a higher end establishment, but the drink sizes are pretty large for the prices. Would like to shout out Bethany, who saw me in rough shape coming from hot yoga and immediately gave me water with ice and salt and then proceeded to bring my drink to me. She really showed concern and made sure I was taken care of. When you walk into this location, you see Psalm 103, and I think the employees here really reflect that.“

“I love the delicious and tasty food. The staff is friendly, social and attentive. Service is fast and efficient. love them.“

“It was a warm day and I needed something to cool off. Stopped by Beach Bowls and it was the perfect thing I needed to beat the heat.I ordered the tropical mini and it was delicious and perfect! The additional banana and blue berries made it even better. The mini size was plenty for one person. Give this local business a try!“

“I seriously couldn't choose what to get because everything looked awesome and healthy. Lots of vegan options, nutrient dense smoothies and grab and go items. Cashier was super nice and patient and made my drink quick. I love that they had grab and go energy bites in the fridge section as well.“

“Great service and fast Healthy food“

“The salad was super delicious! The Barrenjoey was creatively made, it was bursting with flavor! The portion is healthy and well worth the price for ao much volume.
I'd recommend getting the dressing on the side, cuz it was a tad salty. Other than that it was a fantastic meal!“

“I heard this was the best place to buy homemade sea moss with soursop and other homemade healthy JUICEBAE
I haven't tried their yummy healthy foods yet . But i will .. yes darlings the healthy juices and sea moss is fantastic 👏 this is a place to bring your family and friends
Get it to go or dine outside .
That's JUICEBAE for a great time“

“I trully love this place. Everyone that works there gave me so much information and have wonderful personalities. They make you feel like part of their family. Things that I didn't know as a senior I'm learning. Their teas and smoothies are great, they have help me out so much, and I can tell it by the way I feel.A large portion of my family go there now and the ones that don't I will be passing on the word so they can go. I live in lancaster and I hate the ride down there because of the traffic but this herbal place has been such a blessing I don't mind taking the ride. Please go by and try them out. It is such a blessing to my life.“

“Robeks Hawthorne 5348 Rosecrans Ave., CA 90250. 11/06/2022 The server Marcus J. Was very polite and friendly, he put my order in promptly and the drink was made right. I really like the Hummingbirds. He's an asset to this Co.“

“They've recently added a cashier/ waiter machine which makes ordering exactly what you want much easier and efficient. The place looks like it originally was made to support indoor dining, but the owners use the entire indoor space as a kitchen“

“I've always loved there Juices now that they have Teas it's just perfect � Definitely recommend this place for Natuaral Juices and Teas.“

“Healthy juices! Nutritional juices best healthy choices for your wellbeing .“

“The girl with the blond hair was so nice she made want to keep coming back to this location. I recommend this location and the smoothies and açaí bowls are delicious.“
