“EVERY ice cream I've ever had from here has delivered! Seriously, there graham cracker ice cream packs more graham cracker punch than some graham cracker pie crusts I've had! How do they do that!?! My only "complaint" is the # of choices. It seriously takes me longer to decide what I'd like versus consuming whatever it is I end up with. I'd probably be better off if they had a hat I could pull a choice out of ? And please share, at least one order per two persons. The portions are ? ?“
“This is my FAVORITE smoothie bowl place in California. Saying that they are perfect is an understatement. Their fruit is beyond fresh, juicy, and sweet. Every time I visit Manhattan Beach, Paradise Bowls is a must-stop location for my friends and I. (As seen in the pictures below I've gone 3+ times and that shows how good they are). My favorite bowl here is the Peach Bum bowl, its ingredients are super well-curated and the fruits complement each other perfectly. The menu is pretty extensive and goes beyond just smoothie bowls. The prices are pretty affordable and typical for a smoothie bowl, around $10 for a size small. My photos feature the small size and there is still a pretty big portion despite its "small" labeling. The service is good, with staff being efficient. The bowls came out pretty quickly! The ambiance of the store is super cute, beachy, and has a surf shack vibe to it, perfect for the beach! The views right next to the store are extremely gorgeous featuring the Manhattan Beach coastline. This store is located close to the sand, where you can bring your bowls to picnic right next to the Pacific waves.“
“Plenty of free parking and close to other shops. I’ve been to this location a lot and they’re very consistent with the service and quality. I like their ordering kiosk because I usually take my time deciding what I want, everything is good! The Polar Pineapple and Mahalo Mango are delicious. They also have chips and water available for sale.“
“A little pricey but very convenient and healthy, Kreation offers juices, smoothies, snacks, and meals to go. There is limited outdoor seating.Staff is usually nice and helpful :)Dietary restrictions: Food is well labeled for dietary restrictions“
“Love coming here with my grandma on the weekends or after work. It's never very busy unless you come on a Friday night or Saturday night. I wish they had samples still, so I can make sure I like the flavor. Last year I came in with my Grandma and asked for a sample cup which they replied saying they don't do them anymore. I got one of the Sorbet flavors and turns out it wasn't the one it said. I got really mad because it caused me to go to the Hospital due to my Dairy Allergy, but then again people do make mistakes. Overall I like this place and it's very welcoming. The music though!!!“
“Trader Joe's was out of everything on Thanksgiving and actually told me to go across to mothers market. They were fully stocked and super helpful. Beautiful market with excellent produce and amazing products. Across between Grow Manhattan Beach and Gelsons and Bristol Farms! I will be shopping here more often!“
“I haven't written a review in many years but I felt like this one was super necessary. Let me begin by saying I came into devil and angel desserts this morning around noon a little after they opened. They didn't have any mochi donuts out on display yet, so I asked if they had any ready. The nice lady (i think this place is family owned) told me 20 more minutes which I wasn't in a hurry and didn't mind but instantly went to check the back and told me just 1 minute. I waited and then they brought out about a dozen that were ready. They didn't have the Oreo one I wanted out on that dozen so asked if they would have any available. Again I wasn't in a hurry and was willing to wait and the guy making the donuts was nice enough to make the two for me while i was there. I only went to this place cause it was the closest and the birthday boy request mochi donuts instead of cake. So i purchased the 6 that I needed and they also gave me one on the house which I desperately needed since I myself had only had coffee all morning. This place was so attentive to my needs especially when they had barely just opened for the day. I couldn't thank you more for the great service after my hectic morning of getting everything ready and running around for the birthday boy. P.S my grandparents owned a donut shop for over 50 years and this place may or may not be family owned but definitely felt homey like my grandparents donut shop. I love businesses like that. Again you guys are amazing and thank you for all the fast service this morning.“
“What can I say? The cashier was amazing and friendly I got a free smoothie I think cause I bought the Hemp bag that they have there or he was just making my day that great! I didn’t catch his name but I will be back again! I got the athlete Smoothie it was good! My little tote bag is super cute perfect for my lunch! I would recommend coming here.“
“Waa passing by and wanted to try the non-dairy soft serve. My friend ordered the Acai bowl. Everything is fresh and in limited quantities as the staff kept the menu updated as to what was still available. We were able to try sample juices. I especially liked the strawberry basil drink. Parking in this outdoor mall is scarce. Always a challenge bit this is a nice place to grab a healthy drink or snack and sit outside.“
“During a recent trip to Los Angeles for a conference, I found myself at Manhattan Beach with a specific craving for boba tea. After a bit of searching, I was delighted to stumble upon Preso Tea, which presented itself as the perfect spot to satisfy my thirst. The shop offers a convenient self-ordering system, which I found to be an efficient way to explore their extensive menu without feeling rushed.The ambiance of Preso Tea was immediately welcoming, with an evident devotion to creating a pleasant customer experience. I opted for the Thai milk tea, a personal favorite, and it did not disappoint. The drink struck an impressive balance of sweet and creamy, with the tapioca pearls cooked to just the right consistency. Though the names of the staff escape me, their warmth and amiable service added to the charm of my visit. Their friendliness left as much of an impression as the quality of the tea itself, rounding out a memorable boba run in Manhattan Beach.“
