“Always the first choice when I think of getting a smoothie or açai bowl. You can count on fresh ingredients good flavors and consistency. They have a good amount of choices and toppings, overall solid andReliable. With so many locations you can always find one when you need one. The service is always good, everyone is kind patient and helpful. It's a chill environment and always very clean.“
“I have to say it: the hailey bieber smoothie is delicious. Maybe not exactly $18 delicious, but I don't have regrets that I tried it once! It's a really unique flavor and the perfect consistency. Love the addition of coconut cream too. Just so good!!Am I really tempted to go back to spend even more money on the other smoothie flavors here? Yes. It's probably a blessing that I don't live in LA, otherwise I'd probably be spending way too much money on the smoothies here. Did I decide to also wander the aisles of this store pretending like I could afford any of the items on the shelves? Yes. Did I laugh for a really long time at the $25 jarred pasta sauce I found here? Also yes. The outdoor seating at this location is really nice -- it's good for people watching while you sip your smoothie LOL. The smoothie was ready so quickly and came out as beautiful and aesthetic as all the pics you see online.“
“I have ordered from this place a couple of times just this past week! Everything has been amazing. I'm a vegan chef and I can be picky. But if I could give this place 6 stars I would. Even with delivery the food arrived fresh and amazing.“
“Pretty good boba. I got the milk tea. It's wayyyyy too sweet so ask for less sweetness. That's the mistake I made. I got the milk tea boba with oatmilk. Service was good and it's cute inside. People were in there studying. Nothing special. I probably wouldn't come back. Meter parking in the area.“
“This had to be our first stop when getting to LA, very close to the airport which was super convenient! Very clean, and delicious options. We got the “Best Sandwich” and it lived up to its name! Lots of fresh juice options, grab and go food items. Love the vibe and the owner is very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend.“
“listen: its west LA, there are a *TON* of options... but none of them are as good as this. start with the chilaquiles -- they are *chef's kiss* incredible. and anything else you order will be impeccably seasoned, full of authentic flavor, and fresh. everything is “
“If you are looking for amazing protein shakes come here! There are so many options to choose from. The owner is always coming up with cool new flavors that always taste great. The shakes are also very affordable. Come check them out and if you don’t want a protein shake there’s so many other things to choose from“
“This chef owned establishment takes pride in what is on the menu. The food is made made from scratch, with very high quality ingredients, to order. A sandwich, a fresh juice, or any other menu item ordered will be worth it. My wife and I are glad we accidentally found this place. We both ate here before hitting the road back home to San Diego. The conversation was great and we left full with no groggy feeling afterwards. Worth every penny!“
“I really appreciate having an organic restaurant within about 15 minutes of where I live, and one that closes at midnight! I appreciate the menu choices, and the wonderful caring attitudes of the staff, the manager, Richard, and the owner, Mike. Thank you all!“
“4 assorted donuts / 1 glazed, 1 reese peanut butter, 1 cinnamon sugar o-nut (cronut), 1 nutella strawberry o-nut - 5 ⭐!DK's Donut & Bakery in Santa Monica is an excellent, family-owned 24-hour donut shop and cafe that has been in business for over forty years. They have a mouth-watering selection of fresh donuts, including an impressive assortment of cronut inspired donuts.Their little shop is in a small strip mall in Santa Monica. I had no trouble finding parking right outfront. The shop has a colorful, pink-focused theme. They had an outstanding selection of donuts on display in their glass cases as well as a nice, large menu board offering up all kinds of snacks, drinks, and sandwiches.The four donuts I sampled on my visit to DK's were fantastic. It was honestly a very hard decision. I had to limit myself to four because when I buy donuts, I have very little self control and know I am going to eat them all the same day. Besides, donuts are always best when they are fresh.The strawberry nutella cronut style donut was amazing. Lots of rich, hazelnut spread flavor mixed with strawberry. The plain glazed donut was top notch. I always try to get a plain glaze and use it as a baseline. A great plain glaze donut is always a treat for me. The cinnamon sugar cronut and the peanut butter cup donut were also great.I know there are other "DK" donut places out there. This one is a real treat and I think it is the OG one. If you are in Santa Monica or are passing by, make sure you stop by and support a great local business!“
“Really good seating! Great pesto sandwich. Wonderful new chill coffee shop. Staff was eager to please. Once they iron out a few things (like having iced tea for non-coffee drinkers and hot days), they're gonna have lines out the door to get a table. I'm an NYC expat and I do my best work on my laptop at a coffee shop. Can't wait to come back and try the coffee!“
“SO amazing! William and his team make everything fresh with the most outstanding customer service! My dad and I were visiting the area and this magical place was nearby- for 4 days they juiced our morning medicine with love- 32oz of celery juice each! and shared so many other delicious treats! The bowls are stunning to look at and taste even better! An added bonus? The beats were always pumping out pure joy to add to the mix! If you’re looking for fuel made from the heart, The Juice Bar is your spot! Thank you William and Jimena! ?“
“Easily one of the best açaí bowl spots in west la. the main reason is the price and the diverse selection of toppings, base flavors, granola, etc. I like how you can customize your bowl as much as you want and you pay the same price - I usually get the smallest bowl for $9. They also have unique toppings like different chia puddings and matcha powder which sets them apart from other acai bowl places. The service is incredible every time - very fast and friendly. I'm grateful it's in my neighborhood so I can go as often as I do! Very cute and comfortable ambiance. I usually take it to go and it travels well but if I had time I would eat it there! Very clean and trendy aesthetic.“
“What a great breakfast/lunch spot! It's definitely a local spot. What doesn't go unnoticed is the amazing customer service! The vibe of this place is very welcoming! I have to note that all the ingredients are so fresh. I ordered a miso glaze salmon bowl and if you look at the image you'll see how big of a salmon pc I got! It was just enough greens and rice for a hearty meal! I also got their like a lady juice and it was perfect with this meal!Definitely will be back and I love that the walls have outlets so it's a good place to get some work done as well!They do have parking but it is in a plaza so it does get busy. There is a lot of street parking close by.“
“A good friend and I went to Cafe Vida last minute for lunch. I figured it must be good since there was a quite a few people. We ordered the chips and guacamole to start. So tasty. I had the chicken bowl which was amazing. Our waiter gave just the right attention and he service was outstanding. It was such a relaxed place and had a great vibe.“
“FOOD/DRINK: They make such a great cortado coffee, would definitely get it again. Also had two vegetarian arepas - black bean and cheese, and mushroom chorizo. The latter was my favorite, but both were delicious! These came out on the quicker side (maybe 5 minutes?), though I know can take up to 20 to make from the other reviews. Tasted flavorful and fresh, and were a great portion size for breakfast or a mid-day snack. They have a decent-sized breakfast and lunch menu (along with some pastries), plenty of vegetarian options, and fruit juices that looked really refreshing. AMBIENCE: I really enjoyed the ambiance here. I went on a weekday, so it wasn't super crowded. There's a few 2-4 seater tables, a larger window-facing table with comfy chairs, a ledge for those who want to park with a laptop, and some outdoor sidewalk seating. More of a casual vibe, very bright and airy and open. On a corner. There is street parking (up to 1 hour directly in front, and up to 2 hours a few blocks down on Ocean). That's my one qualm, is that it'd be hard to spend more than 2 hours here due to the parking situation. SERVICE: So friendly and kind.“
“This became my go-to place to take my boys (2,5) for after school guilt free treats! I love too that I can pick up some healthy snacks/drinks for myself too. I love the new salad line as well. I got the VIP and it's been so worth it!! Service is also great especially from Amanda I've become friendly with since we have kiddos the same age :)“
“Sunright is one of the most consistent boba shops I've been too, regardless of location. I'm usually a simple milk tea person, so my favorite drink here is: Sunright Boba Milk Tea with 75% Sugar! Sometimes I get 50 if I feel like something more bitter. The taste of the tea is nice, and the brown sugar flavor is comforting without being overpowering. I love the texture of the boba here, a little softer with a brown sugar flavor. This place has lots of drinks to choose from, including milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and kids drinks. They have milk alternatives (almond, oat, and fresh milk), and you can also get honey as a healthier sweetener! A couple of my other favorites are the Oolong Milk Tea, Matcha Milk Tea, and Oreo Brulee Boba Milk. You can order online or the touch kiosk in store, and they're always on time! Can never go wrong here :)10/10“

“This is such a cute spot, I had my reservations, as I am a neighbourhood resident and I had heard not-so-great stuff, but upon going in for my first time, I was recommended a fantastic shake, and I also got a wrap. The boys, both working the counter and the back were the sweetest people, the service was fast, and the food was fantastic. Honestly, I can't give this place enough praises. 10/10“
“Wow! I have to thank my friend for turning me on to Black Rabbit Cafe. This gem is located inside Abyss Market. I frequent this store after work, so the food cafe is closed when I come here. I was off of work today, and am I glad I ordered the BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato sandwich. It was THE best sandwich I've ever had. Perfect ratio! I'll be back to try more delicious food.“

“The unique flavors of paletas this business creates made my Central American heart happy! Cas, guanabana, frutas en yogur, rompope con pasas there is no flavor where you can go wrong. A great variety of flavors as well as menu items. We didn't try anything other than the paletas but will surely be returning.“

“Literally some of the best service I've received during a late work lunch. Came in and Abraham explained anything I had questions on and recommended the best pina I've had in a long time. Overall, great food and great service, definitely coming back. The food wasn't super heavy, and was very flavorful. The number 5“
“While vacationing we like to find local small businesses. I am so glad we found offset. We ate breakfast here every morning. We had the lox, avocado toast and an egg and bacon biscuit. These delicious dishes were made with fresh ingredients and were also visually appealing. The coffee is roasted here providing the best quality product. The talented baristas are super friendly and able to answer your questions. Ample parking is available next to the building and handicap parking and ramp are out front.“

“Everything that we ordered was delicious and freshly prepared. Carne Asada wrap, chicken quesadilla. Both excellent. My Dad said the smoothie was the best he's ever had! Just go here , it's the best food north of Oaxaca. Gracias, “
“After reading the reviews, I somehow thought the juices were made to order, and was not thrilled when I was handed three small plastic bottles in exchange for $35. Had I overpaid for a Jamba Juice experience? Fortunately, despite the unpromising packaging, the juices themselves were outstanding, and tasted fresh. Mine was the apple ginger turmeric, and had I known how sublime it would be, I would have ordered two. Probably the best juices I've tried in LA, and I will be back soon.“
“The best pastrami in Los Angeles, and believe me, I keep trying to prove myself wrong. I must have eaten 50 Annie’s Reuben sandwiches in the last two years and the quality of food is consistently high! Hot/iced coffee also quite good! A local and personal favorite spot with warm service and very competitive “
“Their smoothies are the best. The quality of the fruits and vegetables they use is awesome and the price is amazing. I have tried almost their entire menu in the past couple years and everything is better than the last. The owner is so nice. He really listens to you and remembers your order. I asked him to make me something off menu because I wanted something sour, asked me a few questions and 5 minutes later gave me the best drink I have ever had. He has such a big heart. I told him once my wife is pregnant and is craving something sweet and sour, and he went out of his way to make me a juice that would fill her cravings. Now with summer around the corner, I want to go everyday.“

“Yummy! I've been really into acai lately. When I got a job in Century City, I found myself going to the Century City mall on a daily for lunch. During one of my lunch outings, I came across Oakberry Acai. When I entered, I was getting huge Deja Vu. I realized that I had been there once before thanks to a Yelp event. Since my experience went well during the Yelp event, I already knew I was going to like it.The place was clean and straight to the point. I was greeted by a nice gentleman who helped me order. I got an acai with granola, chia seeds, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. It definitely hit the spot! It tasted fresh and it was filling. Thank you!!“
“I just discovered this place, so I've only been able to try their Gazpacho (I like mine cold, so I let it sit in fridge for a few hours), Hummus, and Homemade Pita Chips, and they were all fantastic. I can't wait to try their other food.Vegetarian options: Everything I tried was vegetarian“
“Adorable little spot with a great vibe and delicious food and coffee. The staff is incredibly kind and the good is solid. I had the breakfast burrito and an Americano and they were perfect. Plenty of seating, including a large outdoor area right on main street in Santa Monica. Will definitely be coming back.“
“Amazing. Skip the overpriced stuff at other local haunts and grocers et al and go see Fernando who makes delicious juice right in front of your eyes, fresh as can be and so delicious. Lots of great menu items or buildYour own with your favorite fruits and veggies. ?“
“I’ve been coming to Pure for over 3 years now and I am blown away each time. My favorite smoothie is the athlete, favorite juice is energy and greens, and also come here for my vitamins. Good vibes, friendly knowledgeable staff, and really good prices. I highly recommend!“
“I was introduced to Oakberry when I went to Rio de Janiero. I was delighted that they had one here!I ordered the acai bowl. It tasted just like the one in Brazil, so it is very consistent. It's so good especially on a hot day. I like to add peanut butter to mine. It's very refreshing.This is at the Howard Hughes center so there is plenty of parking. I believe it's free to park for the first 30 min.“
“My go to smoothie and smoothie bowl place! They make their smoothies with fresh vegetables and fruits (no added sugar or juices). They also have lots of unique and healthy options to choose from. Even their food is delicious! My favorite is the turkey avocado panini. Additionally, they have freshly made and refrigerated shots each for a different purpose such as detox, wheatgrass, turmeric, collagen, etc. I highly recommend this place I’ve never had a bad experience, always a quick and healthy option for a morning or mid afternoon boost!“

“Mateo's is a great place to grab a sandwich. They offer a variety of options, and the prices are reasonable. The sandwiches are definitely one of the better deals you can get in the area. Whether you eat in or take away, you get a choice of smoothie, milkshake, juice, or fresh water juices to accompany your meal. The peppers are a standout ingredient that you won't find at many other sandwich places. The ice cream is also good, but there's more to Mateo's than just that. If you're looking for fresh fruit to go, there's a bunch of prepared sliced fruit ready to eat, including coconut, strawberries, and mango. I'll definitely be coming back!“
“I came for a macchiato, which didn't impress me especially. A few hours later, I returned to see how this place would do on the food end. I ordered a ham and cheddar sandwich, which turned out to be the single most delicious thing that I ate during a three-day stay in the Santa Monica canyon. I like Rusti and would come back again for further coffee explorations. After all, no one is perfect!This coffee-shop-in-a-trailer business reminded me immediately of Highwire Coffee in Albany, CA yelp.com/biz/highwire-co… . I guess that this is a thing. It's a good thing too: what else are you going to do with that old trailer?“

“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 ? ?“

“Light and airy, with lots of outdoor seating and a beautiful ocean view. NO parking available, the parking lot is only for people doing pickup. Lots of options for vegans and non-vegans. We got burritos, the farmers burrito hit the spot for my non-vegan friend. I got the veggie burrito made vegan and without any cheese. I would probably get it without the vegan sour cream next time as well. The service was really prompt and I would definitely come here again.“
