I don't even know where to start. First time at this location and second or third time feeling some kind of discrimination. Upon arrival I saw there were only two staff at that time, which I can understand why they were slow. HOWEVER, there were 3 orders in front of me and 3 orders behind me and why was I the last one in the shop to get my smoothie .? I wanted to give this location a try because I been to the Malibu but so far both locations have made me feel uncomfortable and disappointed in their service. Smoothies are fresh and delicious, 4.5 stars. At this point, I don't think I will go back or recommend to others.

Gear up my friends this particular one is gonna be a long one, here we go!First of all, yeehaw — sunlife cal is reopened at Calabasas Parkway shopping center ?SunLife at Calabasas you r a special one, can’t stress this enough. Everything about Calabasas and everything about SunLife together = makes a thick blend of a dream! ?☀️?☀️⚡️☄️?Although I live in Ca my v First encounter with the brand was in Austin TX - noticing the rare lotus logo got me off of my bird scooter, accompanied with their store scent (smells like happiness) pushed me to sign out of the bird and let the lotus cue take over. Once you walk into the store it builds your curiosity about them, about urself, about your intentions, the world within and the one u live in. It like — sucks u into the present moment, which is objectively speaking "you're alive, hey" - is bright!! It's all coming from personal experience, and don't get me wrong - I ran my miles with many fall-ins to dif marketing sources.. “There was something different about them”, i kept thinking to myself as I was waiting for my smoothie.The locations they pick for their store is top notch - the heart of the area you’re visiting, you’ll not find yourself “bored, or thinking there’s nothing else to explore here”, I promise. Yoga, Pilates, shopping, libraries, advanced art boutiques, farm markets — you name it, it’s all happening around them.Purity of the ingredients deserves a round of applause. They do indeed use clean forms of whether it’s a nut butter or a powder - you can discover that by the first bite on an empty stomach :)Thoughtfulness of the whole store assembly is also wonderful. Your pet will be welcomed first, and their thirst will be satisfied also first.Friendly, knowledgeable and optimistic staff is also not to be missed. Managers are hands on ready to solve anything, as well as let the team grow by letting them find a way to make things work.On another note, my cousin has food allergies and it’s important for him to NOT cross paths w some nuts and fruits and when we asked sunlife staff about allergies, they were nicely accommodating and offered to sanitize the equipment. It’s awesome to have ur fam find interest in things u love (in this case without making them feel left out!)Fav part- store is rich in vivacious, lively colors! The nature elements throughout the store are beyond consideration: the waves on display, crystals, plants, sand, music //maybe this combination varies throughout all of their stores but the ones I have been in had those. Love that they did nutritional health research for u. ?All in all, (as with everything!) if u show up thinking they are a “ripoff, overpriced etc” you’ll (want it or not- you’ll get that experience) But if you come and give them a chance and allow them to make ur day SMOOTHier you’ll be happily surprised and might later join my thoughts on them!Personal favorites:Smoothie: Mint chocolate chipAthlete (w/protein)Shroom shake (keeps u full for 6 hrs)Golden latteBowls: Maui, dragon, samurai and buddha bowlsSuper hero toast - you gotta try; really rich and not ur reg pb jam!and Avocado toast - great!btw if ure not a fan of oatmeal - try theirs, they know their craft, it’s delish!Last but not least,I —————-Highly recommend.Just Recommend.And wanna keep recommending SL from the bottom of my heart!!Cheers to more SunLife’sss!!Calabasas you’ve got a gem of a place!!Vegetarian options: Soups, smoothies, toasts, anything can be modified to removing animal products besides bone broth, and paleo granola (sweetened with honey)Dietary restrictions: AccommodatingKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!
Very expensive and it’s ok for good Quality. But it’s not, they changed the pure dates into a syrup and it taste really bad very sweet artificial??

This place is so cute, I love everything literally. From healthy and organic bowls and juices, to water bottles, towels, cosmetics etc. Staff is so young and sweet, I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely love this store and staff! They are just so friendly and the product selection is amazing! Try the KIN spritz, such a great summer drink!

To start everything is labeled "organic". The best acai bowls that will have you think about it will a week. They have a soup of the day which is usually vegan. Today it is lentil(taste great). AvoToast better then average. 2nd visit this month.

You ask yourself ...can a $20 smoothie be worth it. My answer is 100% yes. Especially at the Calabasas location. My fave is matcha goddess with vegan vanilla protein and second fave is shroom shake.

One of my favorite places!! I come here for a quick pick me up for breakfast. The staff is always friendly and their smoothies are always consistent
Sunlife - I want to love you so bad. I'm your perfect customer. I'll happily pay extra for goji berry crystal infused loved up smoothie goodness. And every single time I've gone to your Commons and Austin location something has been messed up. It's become a frustrated joke now with my sister in-law guessing what's gonna be wrong. The mix is weird and icy and wrong, bananas are out, the bowl is half full, drippy and watery, a mess with stuff haphazardly thrown all over it. Today I paid the $20 for a Bliss bowl and when it came out 2/3 full, and the consistency of soup with drippings all down the side I needed to give some feedback. This is basically the most you can possibly pay for a smoothie. This should be the Cadillac of smoothies. Should be the absolute best. For $20 it should be a work of art, made with care, filled to the brim, consistent from visit to visit. And it's not. I love the spirit of what you're doing. And I want it to be awesome. But you've lost a customer.

Honestly for $17 a smoothie, you could probably get the ingredients and make it at home. The staff was great, very friendly. I didn't enjoy my smoothie though. My husband's smoothie wasn't even cold. He ended up drinking a few sips and leaving the rest in our refrigerator to blend with some ice and hopefully salvage his $17 smoothie.

Prompt greetings, instructions and check ins were given to customers, even as they were busy with other customers and orders. I felt seen and taken care of and I love sweet messages too, so my cup message was the highlight and they got my name right, I love that so much! ???♀️? ? Thank y’all for the professionalism and the little things!

Overpriced and value not there when so many other options in town. Also app does an auto tip feature in to go orders.

One of my favorite treats while shopping at The Commons. The ingredients are above and beyond, the quality is always amazing, and I love the workers! There's no more perfect day than grabbing a smoothie from here (I personally recommend the Green Man) and walking around the beautiful Commons!
