This particular location does not offer the non-dairy soft serve however. Overall, this place is small, but it covers most of your health juice needs.“

“Holy crap. I’ve been trying to find an excellent protein shake place with supplement add-one like creatine, meal replacements, fat burner, etc. and this place HAS IT. It’s so hard finding a good protein shake place that makes it right and this place ABSOLUTELY KILLS the protein shakes. I got the Cinnamon Toast with Fat Burner and Creatine, but I’m trying the peanut butter pistachio next time. It’s a bit of a drive for me since I’m based in LA but I think it’s so worth it. Highly highly recommend.“

“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“

“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.“

“family owned and operated“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“Came here yesterday and I have to say it was a really friendly environment. I got the Berry Mango Bliss bowl, which was bomb, and my friend got their Peanut Butter Wave bowl. The guy was working alone but very sociable and answered all our questions about the area because we’re visiting from Las Vegas. Will definitely be back in the future!“

“I stopped by Yagul Cafe and had my first ever Oaxacan latte, it was a very big cup, full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Such a pleasant surprise! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was incredibly comforting and delicious.

Everyone at the cafe was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu!“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful!“

“Berry nice and helthy juices and smudys“

“Unassuming and friendly little cafe just off the Venice Beach boardwalk - went there on a whim and so glad we did! Best vegan tacos I have ever had, and the acai bowl was delicious. Prices were reasonable, staff was super friendly, and this is the kind of little place every neighbourhood wants for their own. Definitely hope to come back for one more taco before we leave.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've gone here a couple of times and every single time Ive had a wonderful experience! All of the employees that Ive encountered have been so kind, every drink and bowl I've tried has been yummy. I especially love coming here after the gym!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Mole Oaxaca las memelitas el agua maraciya todo es muy sabroso 👍👍👍“

“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.“

“First tip, parking is Free and off-street under building garage, see picts, turn right after you pass the spot

Try the oreo, I enjoyed it, the owner suggested its popular. But I looked at that coconut mango option and had some fomo, maybe try that also.
The owner is really nice and personable, really casual place“

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

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

“Açai here is very yummy. Very comparable to good açais from Brazil. The service not so great. The person that helped us gave us the vibe he was doing us the biggest favor ever, zero enthusiasm to be working there. Felt like he was being forced to do his job. Really killed the vibe.“

“Best food spot I’ve ever been too. I have traveled internationally and nationally NOTHING beats Kafe K, best quality cappuccino perfect consistentsy for only $5?! I wish I had a lifetime supply! Don’t get me started on the açaí bowls, my jaw hit the floor? Even my child asked if we can make them at home, most definitely would come and support!“

“Kreation Marina is an excellent go to for fresh juices, smoothies and healthy food on the go. The staff is welcoming. They know about the ingredients, the benefits of them to the body. It’s a pleasure visiting this store. The food and drinks are delicious. Five stars!“

“Introduced to this master juicer at its inception when I had an office for several years within walking distance. Recently visited and it has only gotten better, if that is possible. The G5, not the Gulfstream G550, was so well balanced with such in intense amount of nutrients, precisely so, you'd think you were gliding through blue sky's in a Gulstream G550. You don't have to, just stop by this place, show your body some love and sip away. No plastic, so return those bottles (we opt to clean them prior in plant powered dish soap) and play it forward for another day.
Rainy, cloudy, sunny, unusually chilly, good air, poor air, heat waves, droughts, high winds, the perfect breezy sunny day...whatever the forecast...know this forecast will always be green, bright, orange, and full of mother earth's gifts. Takes the gold medal for those who are obsessed with pure Mother Nature in a glass bottle, hold they hype, the hipster and go enjoy some real real at Rejoice.“

“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!“

“Always satisfied with the freshest ingredients ‼️❤️“

“Sooo…when I want to avoid fast food…Kathy’s Kitchen is my go-to spot for healthy food, fresh juice, grocery items, and healthy-ish snacks!

She has a smaller menu but, she has a couple menu items I really enjoy. I grab her to-go/pre-made meals like the jerk chicken and Jamaican meat patties (the Veggie patty is yummy too).

My elderly father loves getting her pre-made spaghetti. Fyi…the sauce is freekin’ good! He also always orders a peanut butter sandwich to-go. He could make it himself, but he says, “Don’t you see I’m retired?”

My absolute favorite is when she occasionally offers new items she is putting together like these Stuffed Mushroom Tacos and the various bowls.

So, the thing is…Kathy is super knowledgeable. She has a phenomenal understanding of food and health. She brings in seasonal produce and you can grab some basic fruits and veggies while you’re there (Avocados…yesss). A few weeks back, she had the best strawberries and peaches I had tasted in a long time.

She also has fresh squeezed juices and things like turmeric shots. So, it motivates me to stay focused on making better food choices to complement my exercise routine and health needs. It’s a more quaint place that kinda keeps me focused on eating the basics. I’m putting more fruits and veggies in my body daily than I have in a while.

Oh…lately, she has pre-cooked greens in her grocery fridge pretty often! It is sooooo nice to be able to eat good-tasting greens whenever I want.

I got some plantain with my bowl today and that’s gonna be my dessert.

Overall, Kathy’s Kitchen is an experience!
My whole family loves stopping by to pick stuff up and see what’s available that week.

It’s not really about having a gazillion processed options. Going there has made me more intentional about eating healthy. I also like supporting a small business in the way I’d want to be supported if I had one.

For me, it’s being able to go in and have people who care about what I’m putting into my body as much as I do.“

“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.“

✅ 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.“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

The service was amazing, the açai was just delicious and the girl that served us, a short haired girl was really nice and super fast which made my experience really good, ill definitely come back“

“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“

“Breakfast Smoothie is a great way to start your morning.. yummy 😋“

“Just wanted to give a shout out to Dylan and Khalid who we’re very exceptional and helping me out customer service wise as well as Priscilla they were really on point. They really helped me out with everything that I needed and I gave them a five stars because they made my experience that much more enjoyable and I like the fact that they recommended different lemonades and different flavors and this is the spot to go to for the best lemonades and the best drinks by far“

“This place has not failed me yet, and every time I go, I love it! I know it's far for me since I live in the O.C. but it's worth the drive. I don't like to go anywhere else, and I will always think of you guys whenever some wants a acai bowl! Thank you for being the best! Keep it up!“

“The selection is off the charts! 📊 open 24 seven and the #21 is to absolutely die for! 😈 can’t wait to try the rest of their stuff!!!!!! Thanks“
