“My friend took me to the cutest musubi shop after our Pilates class! I asked the guy working there and who was Japanese which one he recommended and I ended up trying the miso beef and the curry pork musubi. Both were so delicious and of course I saw the lychee oolong boba tea so I had to try that too. The staff are super friendly service was quick and the food was yummy! I’m definitely recommending this spot to more people and can’t wait to come back!“

“THE best ice cream in LA. I love how seasonal they keep their flavors. You can tell from each bite how high quality the ingredients are that they use. Every flavor is always so creamy and flavorful, but it’ll never make you feel icky after eating it!

“Best peanut butter and strawberry ice cream in LA! I’ve been going to Yoga-Urt since their first location in Glendale and I was glad to finally visit their Santa Monica location to celebrate 10 years. This is definitely the bigger of the stores and coolest! Nice seating, big windows for that great sunlight to help with fotos, and down the street from the ocean. Put this location on your list as a MUST VISIT when in Santa Monica (or any of their other location).

Happy Munchies,
@aVeganAndHer“
