First time trying their acai bowl, I didn’t expect it to be this filling. Granola and fruits give nice crunch and flavor, only thing I wish is portion little bit bigger.

Was in my way to Starbucks when I saw this place right next door and went here instead. $12 and some change for a traditional açaí bow. It was delicious. Small store but the service was fast and the girls working were nice. The bowl was a big portion and they put so much fruit, granola and coconut on top! I was thrilled as most places are cheap with their toppings. The fruit and açaí was fresh and I ate the whole thing. They also have juices, “meal replacements” which are smoothies and other bowl selections! Very happy with my order.

Drove there through traffic to get a juice before they closed (arrived 15 minutes before close), only to be told they stop making fresh juice 30 minutes before they closed. They had already cleansed the juicer. This is literally a fresh juice spot…. Clean your juicer after you close.

Just had the juice crafters acai bowl and wow, game changer!

He acts as if he forced the staff here. He doesn't speak, he doesn't communicate. He doesn't even look at her. There's no smile or interest. It's so obvious he doesn't want to work in this job. He doesn't answer when I ask him anything. He never opens his mouth.

✅ 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.

Pleasant vibe, helpful employees, yummy smoothie!

Unsure at first, but barista’s suggestion for this bowl was perfect. Satisfying and not too heavy. Quick and friendly service.

Ordered the Protein Bowl for breakfast. There was a little line but it was no problem. Felt like a wholesome meal, especially with the nuts on top.

Beets usually taste like dirt to me, but their blend with carrot, apple and lemon is shockingly good. The first time I ordered, the juicer was down, and the manager personally drove to their other location to fulfill my order - that’s commitment! Now I come every Monday to watch them roast beets in-house. The deep ruby color stains my fingers (natural dyes FTW). My Singaporean mother visited last month and demanded the recipe - high praise indeed!
