Shame on me for not reading the reviews before coming in here - avoid this place, no smoothie in the world is worth 50 mins wait. There’s only two people working, and despite this being a busy weekend, the staff is moving with a snail pace. Don’t get me wrong, I am by no means asking them to be robots, but given how much of a back up there is, it’s truly crazy that they make smoothe as if it’s a competition for the slowest timing in the word. The staff was not too pleasant either.

Generous portion of smoothie but this is by no means worth the 50 min wait. Not even that many people ahead of us in line so have no idea how it can take this long

They prioritize online orders over in person - be prepared to wait over an hour after ordering because there’s only one employee making smoothies. If the owners want to stay successful, then staff up. They hype won’t last long otherwise

Phil and Lily are so sweet, and the smoothies here are 10/10 amazing 💯!! Their recipes are inventive, delicious, and picture perfect 😋 lots of menu options to choose from, and their smoothies literally make my day brighter and give me a pep in my step 🌈 Main Squeeze smoothies taste better than Erewhon in my opinion (and I’m a die hard Erewhon fan/member!!)

The smoothie itself is good but only if u have a lot of time to spare. We had to wait 38 minutes for our order of 1 smoothie even though there were only 3 drinks ahead of us, for just one family. They don't seem to care at all about people time. They slowly washed and prepped despite the growing line, They hand peeled the dates as we ordered, couldn't this peeling be done ahead of time???? The delay added my drive time from santa monica to San Diego another 40 minutes, just because it led me to have to hit rush hour.
No smoothie is this good to warrant this disrespect for people's time.

i never like writing a bad review but this place was just not it. waited in line for at least 30 mins to order and then another 30 mins for my smoothie and it wasn’t even that busy. smoothie was not worth the wait at all, you are better off going somewhere else

Save your time and your money!!!!! Was very excited to try this spot after hearing it was highly recommended - stood in line for 45 mins for the blandest smoothie I’ve ever had in my life. Came with two other people who each got different drinks than I did, all three of our smoothies tasted like watery, chunky bits of banana. It was very clearly understaffed and too busy for them to keep up, and while I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, they were not welcoming in the slightest. Such a disappointing experience.
UPDATE (Pls see picture lol) In what world do you respond this way when every single review says the same exact thing and every customer is having the same experience? Actually pathetic and very upsetting lmao.

1.5 hour wait for a smoothie is ridiculous. There are other places nearby that don’t make you wait as if they are the only ones on earth that make good smoothies

Absolutely terrible service. Waited for half an hour for smoothies. Lack of customer service was absolutely terrible. One person working the entire time and was moving incredibly slow. Smoothies were amazing but not worth it for the experience. (And not to mention the incredibly high price tag) additionally, I found pieces of strawberry stem and leaves inside my smoothie.
For the people who are saying it was a long wait; I did not experience anything close to a long wait. The owners are the sweetest and the smoothies were amazing! Better than Erewhon fr

Visited Main Squeeze around 4:30pm on a Thursday, only 4 people in front of us in the line. Took around 15-20mins just to get to place our order, with one person taking orders and one making the smoothies. While waiting an additional 25 mins for the smoothies we began to notice all of the disheveled decorations and very unclean workspace. No A/C at the time so we waited on the street in the sun. No personality coming from the staff. Would not go back as the smoothies were just watered down with ice and the wait was insane.

I hate leaving bad reviews for small businesses like this, but just had an awful experience and honestly seemed to be everyone’s experience that day. 2hr wait for an average smoothie. Visiting from NY, no worries waiting for a good smoothie, just tell the people entering there’s a wait or put up a sign please.
The place is deceiving, only had about 8 people waiting, so I decided to get in line, after ordering and paying I had to wait 40 more minutes as customers came left and right that I never saw in the store to pick up smoothies; I’m guessing they paid hours ago. & left then came back.
0/5 experience would never come back, go support the smoothie place out front of Golds Venice, good people, hard workers. Smoothie is done in minutes tastes way better than this. Sorry main squeeze, you’re too busy!
