Health Food Restaurants near Santa Monica, CA

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“Everything was so delicious and fresh!! The spicy asian dressing omg makes your mouth water!!“

“Loved the happy vegan bowl.“

“Was in Downtown Santa Monica for errands and happened to park right across from Sweetgreen. Just a heads up — parking right in front is limited to 15 minutes, so keep an eye on the time if you park there.

Pretty standard sweetgreen overall. Clean, organized, nothing unusual. It was crowded during lunch time, but while I was eating the place cleared out pretty quickly.

I ordered the Crispy Rice Bowl and of course the Ginger Green drink — both pictured.

If I’m being picky, I’d say some other sweetgreen locations feel a little cleaner. But during lunch rush it’s either constantly cleaning after messy customers or keeping the line moving fast, so I get it.

Friendly staff, food tasted the same as every other sweetgreen. Hard to mess it up if you follow the formula.

Overall, good spot, lots of vegan options, and feels relatively healthy compared to most quick lunch places.“

“BLUE VIBES. Amazing. It is blue and it is fantastic.“

“Blue!!! I feel like I can’t go back unless she’s working but thank you for just being you - kind, helpful, you just don’t get that nowadays in customer service so you are truly appreciated. Tried a new food today and it was great thanks to Blue! Def will be back!“

“Simply Wholesome is the absolute best. Healthy food. Healthy drinks. Healthy products. AND they are black owned. I love love love love this place. I have absolutely no complaints. On a scale of 1-10. Definitely 100. Yes one hundred. I visit everytime I'm in LA.“

“Mad Rebel was amazing! John was very knowledgable about food and nutrition based on a long history of education and experience, and he knew what to serve us based on our requests and his expertise. The fruits and veggies were fresh and tasted great! Please stop by and see him! You will be tremendously satisfied!“

“Absolutely fantastic place! Food is delicious. Taste festival in each dish. Seafood super fresh! Im in Europe cant find anything like Marocan Goddess 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Love you guys! The best recommendations ❤️❤️ This spot is a must visit if youre in LA. Also super close to LAX“

“I’ve had a great experience with Healthyca Foods. The quality of the ingredients is noticeable, everything tastes fresh, and you can tell there’s real intention behind the products. It’s not always easy to find food that’s both genuinely healthy and actually enjoyable, but they’ve managed to do both. Customer service has also been friendly and responsive, which makes a big difference. I’ll definitely continue ordering and recommending them to others.“

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

“We were visiting LA from Canada and love the Pura Vida in Miami, so we were really happy to find this here in Beverly Hills! The food and coffee were fantastic just like Miami. The service was excellent, they went above and beyond to welcome us.“

“Yanina Nunez the manager is amazing, excellent service. She made me feel important by asking me how was the food? Is there anything we can do better? She also helped me carry my food since I walk with a cane and it’s hard to carry things! Thank you Yanina💕. I will be back. The food was delicious.“

“What a wonderful change of pace for LA it was really nice to step into the hive. I ordered some dragon fruit bowls and had the opportunity to be greeted by a wonderful cashier. She was so sweet wonderful black lady and she treated me like I mattered which is something that doesn’t often happen in LA. Very safe. Space very amazing place. Very amazing food. Thank you you guys.“

“Great salads and wonderful service. will definitely be returning.“

“This restaurant serves large, healthy protein-rich salads at a good price. The food is fresh and tasty. You may want to get a second salad dressing to finish the last of your large salad. With large parking lot, you can always get a parking spot.“

“First time here, will be back! I tried the Niagen bowl and was impressed with how delicious the base was and with the balanced toppings. The chia pudding was an especially great addition… so much better than granola. Jasmine helped me make an appropriate selection. She was knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients and was a delight to talk with.“

“Friendly atmosphere and excellent food!“

“It was so refreshing, I will be back tomorrow 😃“

“This is a nice place pretty good food very friendly service. It wasn’t until my second visit after receiving and eating my food that I noticed on my way out the C in the window.. I almost passed out 😵. I didn’t get sick or anything. I just usually would absolutely never eat anywhere that has a C in the window. I hope they get that worked out because besides that it is a nice stop for breakfast or lunch.“

“Came across this place whilst looking for a spot to get a reasonably priced matcha latte from—considering that the Manhattan Beach surroundings can become extremely pricey if you find yourself in the wrong spot. Needless to say, a regular matcha latte (around the same size as a grande from Starbucks) costs around about $6, I asked for some vanilla syrup inside, which brought my total up to around ~$7.50 after tax. Service was nice and my drink came out surprisingly fast. Despite the short wait time, I could tell the matcha was prepared nicely, and it ended up tasting really good. Compared to other matcha lattes I have had, this one is pretty high up on my list, where I would rate it somewhere between an 8 up to a 10. The vibe of the place is pretty nice; good service, surprisingly colorful environment. Nice view, depending on your seats. Just about enough seating options it seems, but it may be hard accommodating parties of 3 or more. I can't speak much on the food from this place, but the drinks don't seem to be something you'd wanna miss.

P.S. Public restrooms are available here

Update: Returned for a second time and it tasted even better than the first time!“

“I just found my new favorite place to order food from. Wow, I am so impressed by the way they operate. Food is tasty, approved by my kiddos is a plus. I ordered after a workout and most places were closed and not very healthy options. Then I came an across this place and it did not disappoint. The prices and portions made a sense.“

“they miss heard me and accident put the wrong sauce on my salad and i can't have dairy, but they kindly said we can make you another one and they were very nice about it and took my dairy allergy very seriously which I appreciate! When I told them it's okay they can use the same salmon in the new bowl since it didn't touch much with the dairy based sauce, they said they don't want to risk it :) and gave me a whole brand new plate which I greatly appreciated so much!!!! My bowl was so good and packed with a lot of food just so delicious definitely going back for more!!!! THE SALMON IS A MUST TRY!!!!❤“

“I hope sweetgreen knows how great their employer Noah is. He provided incredible service to me. I arrived hungry and sleep-deprived, unsure of what to order. He went above and beyond to help me. It’s refreshing to interact with kind individuals who genuinely care about strangers. Noah is a true gem! The salad he prepared was enormous and delicious.“

“After moving from Singapore’s perpetual summer to Chicago winters, my immune system was struggling. Their turmeric-orange-mango blend has been my savior - the fresh turmeric stains the bottle yellow (a good sign!). The staff noticed me sniffling last month and taught me their trick: add a pinch of black pepper to activate the curcumin. That kind of knowledge shows real care. I love watching them hand-peel every mango - none of that frozen pulp nonsense. Tastes like a vacation in each sip!“

“The food is decent but hella over-priced. There's a reason you don't see their sandwiches in their marketing promotions, you're better off at Subway for that. $10 for a basic little sandwich with barely anything on it is crazy work.“

“Already checked in and shared on my wall what a wonderful restaurant this is. Great service, beautiful ambiance (I love anyplace with trees abs trickling lights) and the food was amazing - and they know how to plate it! Veggie burgers are hit or miss, often a miss - a frozen “Costco” type Patti microwaved by the “Chef!” When I say that my burger was actually charred and tasted meaty and fresh, was homemade and made me feel like I was eating a $50 burger at Gordon Ramsey’s Vegas Burger Place! Hands down the BEST veggie/glutin free burger I have ever eaten! Better then any dead cow! I can’t wait to go back and try something else! New find! This place rocks. The only competition in LA is “The Golden Mean” and “Sage” - and this place is tastier and more the kind of place you would want to create a memory with someone who is special. #Magic“

“Love the acai and smoothies here, an awesome assortment of plant-based goodness. Friendly staff, modern chic layout, loads of topping options. While Oakberry is predominately vegan they do have honey, whey protein, milk powder and certain things on the menu board that are not vegan or vegetarian. Great fruit, peanut butter, and cocoa nibs. Oakberry also offers Acai Buckets (32oz) which you don't see very often. Bowls and smoothies come in similar cups - though smoothies naturally cost less. Located on the 2nd level of the Westfield Century City Mall next door to Very Thai.“

“I bought a fruit cup at the Earth Bar in LAX because the fruit looked like there was a possibility that every piece might actually be ripe. I was pleasantly surprised to discover every piece was indeed ripe-kiwi, mango, pineapiple, and grapes. This is a first for me in mass-marketed fruit cups.“

“めちゃくちゃ美味しいサラダランチ♡♡⃝♡ 🥗“

“First time there yesterday. Delic!! Staff was Fabulous!! Especially Ashley!!“

“I’ve been to a lot of açaí spots, but Acai Nation genuinely stands out. The bowls are always fresh, packed with flavor, and made with quality ingredients you can actually taste. Every visit feels consistent, and the atmosphere is welcoming from the moment you walk in.

Big respect to Shahan for building more than just a food spot. You can tell he truly cares about the experience, the people, and the community around the business. Great customer service, great energy, and one of the best açaí bowls in LA. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something healthy that still tastes amazing.“

“One of my go-to spots for acai bowls and smoothies. The Angry Trainer bowl is one of my favorite acai bowls - it has inchi protein powder which gives it a slightly nutty flavor, a generous amount of blueberries and bananas, sweet, homemade granola, and a drizzling of honey on top. I get the large size for a filling lunch. I really like the granola, and I think the acai is well-blended and smooth.The “avo here” avocado smoothie is creamy and quite filling. I’ve also had the “capo” chocolate which had little cacao crunchies in the smoothie. It also has protein powder so there’s a slight chalky aftertaste, but it’s still good. They do have food, as they work with Roni’s Diner (right next door). The roasted vegetable bowl is quite filling and very healthy - it comes with an Italian balsamic vinaigrette, but I like putting tapatio on it to give it some extra zing. The chicken tinga bowl is also super filling, and they give a pretty generous portion of the shredded chicken.It’s a small space, and it’s best to just grab it to-go. It’s also available on grub hub/seamless. Street parking is available, there’s no free WiFi, and they do take credit cards. Overall it’s a bit pricey, but I enjoy the quality and heft of the acai bowls.“

“Note: It's a cashless restaurant so be sure to have your debit or credit card with you before you arrive here.“

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