50 Best Juice Bars & Smoothies near Playa Del Rey

“The food and service here are very good overall. It is a bit on the pricey side, but the quality mostly justifies it. I did notice one instance where a bald gentleman on staff came across as a bit rude to a customer—just something worth mentioning!“

“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.“

“We love Organico. Healthy options, great deals on Uber eats, and always tasty. Excited to see them expand!!!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Beverly Hills juice since 2016 when they only accepted cash. I’ve since then moved to San Diego. Every time I visit BH I always stop by to grab my smoothie. The smoothies taste the same in 2025 as they did in 2016. The consistency is what keeps me coming back! I believe they’re also family owned.“

“I unexpectedly came across an amazing spot on my way to Starbucks on Sunset! To my surprise, they have an oxygen bar that was perfect for calming my anxiety, plus a great selection of different types of water, smoothies, and juices that were absolutely delicious. What’s even better is their water refill station—just $15 for a large jug or $3 for a smaller one if you bring your own container, making it way cheaper and more sustainable than buying bottled water. So glad I discovered this place!“

“family owned and operated“

“Just came off a 4 day water fast. Feeling awesome. And this is the way to come off it. Love this place.“

“The staff is always so friendly, they are always cleaning the space 24/7 and the smoothies are ALWAYS delicious. I love that I can add on a bunch of extras without it being a $35 smoothie. They are reasonable for what it is. Love stopping here when I need a quick pick me up, and they keep the orders efficiently moving so I never have to worry about wasting time.“

“I have the apple and ginger juice and I was in heaven Yummy yummy“

“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.“

“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!“

“Friendly knowledgeable Masoud ….the owner was there .. cool guy not standoffish but not trying to upsell in that annoying way 🤨 hooked up a couple samples.m Of a product I was asking about 👍 great store quality products. I get my proteins here collagen beet powder macca etc …“

“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“

“It is the best açaí in OC.😉💪🏿💪🏾💪🏻“

“This location is my favorite location. The staff are amazing. Customer service are superb. The manager is always more than accommodating. I’m really impressed with this location and the work and the quality of smoothies is so much better than other locations.. thank you“

“Love eating here! Coming from NYC, this is the closest thing I have to Dominican Culture in LA. Always recommend my friends to try their food and they fall in love with the flavors that I grew up with. Also, customer service 10/10, the Dominican hospitality is real here!“

“10/10 for Kreation on Santa Monica Blvd.!
This location of Kreation in Beverly Hills on Santa Monica Blvd. is easily one of my favorite stops whenever I'm in the area. The shop is always spotlessly clean, and as always, the food is absolutely delicious. I give the entire experience a solid 10 out of 10!
What truly sets this location apart is the impeccable service. I've visited three times, and on two of those occasions, a young man named Alex helped me. Alex is fantastic—so friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Honestly, his people skills are next level; he knows his stuff and actually got me to buy more than I needed, but I truly enjoyed the conversation!
As a manager myself, I can easily recognize high-level talent, and I honestly thought Alex was the manager of the store—he had me fooled! They are incredibly lucky to have someone as talented as Alex at this location. If you haven't been to this cute little shop on Santa Monica Blvd., you should definitely go. Thank you, Alex, for the great service!“

“Kreation Juicery is my favorite thing about Beverly Hills!“

✅ 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.“

“terrific food. very flavorful and healthy.“

“Best Shamrock shake in town!! Love love this place!!“

“We had such an amazing breakfast at MAD Rebel Health Kitchen in Beverly! Everything was super fresh and incredibly tasty – I started my day with a Rockstar (fresh juice) and a Lil Toast, and it was just perfect. Honestly one of the best breakfasts in the city.

Our kids are still talking about the food a month later, which says it all 😂 Definitely a hidden gem in LA – highly recommended!“

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

“I had a delicious passion dragon which is a vibrant blend of dragon fruit, banana, pineapple, cold pressed apple juice. You have the option of contactless ordering at the kiosk or person to person order. The menu of juices and smoothies are well curated. We were greeted with a bright smile to match the decor of the juice bar. The decor of the juice bar is bright and inviting.“

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

“The best and very clean Delicious 😋 raw cane juice“

“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.“

“My first time here and I’m impressed. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Great service. I’m going to be a regular here for sure!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Delicious ice cream , paletas“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had accidentally ordered a smoothie from the app to the Sunset location (it happens!). I showed up at the Santa Monica location and told them the mistake I made. They were very friendly and helpful and told me to simply call the Sunset location and cancel it. The Sunset location also cancel it quickly and easily and with kindness. Just wanted to shout out both locations! Thank you!“

“😝SO delicious, get coconut and pitaya as base with fruit, agave, almond butter, chocolate chips. I literally eat it for dinner sometimes, healthy, LOVE that they accept cash, only wish they had indoor seating. You won’t regret it!!👍“

“Stopped on our way home from UCLA Medical Center! Coffee was THE BEST cup I have ever had! Custom smoothie for my son. All fresh ingredients! Great value!!! Can't wait to return.“

“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!“

“Excellent service thank you ETHAN. The best!!! Such incredible energy and he was some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. Service like his is why I come back to places. I love sunlife and have been coming here for years. Highly recommend :)“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful!“

“This is the best sugarcane juice! I wish they were closer to me because it’d be a daily spot for me! The BEST, so fresh. You watch her make the juice right in front of you and she presses the sugarcane fresh to each order. Could not be any better! Will recommend this to everyone I know!

If you don’t like this place you either just don’t like sugarcane juice itself or you’ve never actually tried it. 10/10“

“Just went Monday from last week since i had to buy something fast as a breakfast bc i was leaving for a trip. 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“

“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 👌🏾“

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

“The place is like a little martlet that has a deli. The gentleman made me a delicious turkey sandwich. The sandwich with Italian water cost me $17. A little pricey for a sandwich the size of a football. It was good though. You could probably find what you need here even boots.“

“I go to this place every once in a while for an acai bowl or a smoothie, both of which are excellent, and also because it is right next to Cafe Luxxe, so I can get a coffee while I wait on Earthbar. I remember once when the payment system wasn't working, and after trying it a few times, the manager just gave it to me for free, which was really nice of him!“

“Jody and Wendy were fantastic guides who shared engaging and fun historical facts about The Original Farmers Market and the surrounding area. They also support the BEST local restaurants and vendors, many of which have been part of the market for decades! As an LA native, I usually try to steer clear of typical tourist spots, but the OG Farmers Market has definitely earned a special place in my list of favorite eats and treats. Thank you, Jody and Wendy, for an unforgettable experience! 1000/10!“

“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.“
