“TLDR: Small, hip, relaxed outdoor meet up juice/açaí spot with healthy options for everyone- especially Vegans.Reason: mutual meet spot/contact point to meet up with family.Space: it’s small! Very casual. They’ve made it a cute slice of a private paradise with the plants, faux and barriers from the beach breeze. Easy walk from the pier. Not a ton of seating, available.I would not recommend this spot for digital working too much light and I didn’t see anyMenu: Juices, smoothies, and bowls! Great for vegans. You can edit what you’d like as well. I believe toppings are extra.Taste: AMAZING. I was SO satisfied with my order.My experience: the gal working was very sweet and did make an error on my order. I ordered Peanut butter wave bowl and she gave me a Hawaii bowl, but was convinced I ordered the bowl Hawaii. At first didn’t seem to want to help with that, but changed her tune quickly…and for that I go back to 5 stars!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“The only way this place could be better is if there was an outdoor seating area to chill out in. The Kokomo smoothie was so delicious I basically inhaled it. The Razz Party bowl got 2 thumbs up from the little. We ordered a small and she almost finished it!Kid-friendliness: it's a big customer area where kids can run around a bit but there's no place to sit and the 'bar' is a little high for littles. It's essentially a take out place so the location itself isn't so kid friendly but the food certainly is.“
“The açaí bowls taste very good. The mixture of granola, berries, other toppings, and the açaí blend create a stellar combination of sweet, sour, and savory. Those empanadas though??very delicious, same with the coxinhas. The place is small, but that’s okay. Service is great. They serve your bowl in no time. 10/10 will try again.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp leading to the entrance of the building, so it’s easily accessible for those in a wheelchair.“
“Just a cool placeI probably get the greaser which is a mocha nut mate 5days a weekAll the teas are goodCool merchThe people who work there are super coolAnd the place is just super cool dogs are welcomed also :)They have live music or DJ on Saturday from 7 to 9I’ve tried their peanut butter, açai bowl, decentThey’re starting to introduce MocktailsThis place is tiny, though“

“This location is amazing. Everything is fresh and I would recommend 50/50 Juice Lounge for gathers, company meetings and community events. I have sent many of our corporate partners to have dine-in lunch. The music adds such a relaxing vibe. The staff is very polite and give great suggestions to first time visitors.Vegetarian options: The Kale salad is everything !Dietary restrictions: My sister loves fruit but she is allergic to pineappleKid-friendliness: The pickiest child will love the fruit Taco“
“Purple protein smoothieSuper cute atmosphere with a clean bathroom (faucet has hot water ?)My smoothie was sooo delicious, tasted amazing but somehow not too much sugar and came in a sick glass jar?!Staff was really nice as I was early afCan’t wait to sit in sometimeDef recommend, from vegan/vegetarian to poke! Everyone can get good healthy food“
“I ordered this bowl and smoothie , not only was it delicious but it came out fast and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. It was delicious tasty and the ambiance was very welcoming . Definitely will be coming back . Especially since it's so close to home.“
“Stumbled on this place after trying to find a protein fix post workout. The owner is incredible! Was able to call off the macros for everything he served. When you love what you do, the outcome is going to be amazing so I wish this location all the best. Pricing: well worth it when you consider the macros and serving size. I was able to split my $13 açaí into 2 different servings. Ordered the house coffee ($8, 22g of protein) and the dirty chai ($10, 22g protein) and the taste was really good. We had 2 different açaí bowls and took them home to add my own fruit but it comes with 3 toppings. Can't believe the macros on any of these things Not only are they healthy, but they're fairly priced and taste incredible. Will gladly be back to try the donuts and waffles . Beautiful place to take a pretty picture because moss background. Super clean if you want to sit and enjoy it, every table has coasters . Big thanks to the owner for helping us pick what to eat!“
“Amazing delicious food and the best customer service!! The food has so much flavor and you can tell it's made fresh when you order it. I've gotten noodles and sandwiches here and everything is always so good. The drinks are delicious as well. The owner is hands down the best owner ever, such a genuine and kind soul. We will absolutely be back again and again!“
“The taiyakis are delicious, they have a lot of filling; Just consider that they are made fresh so it takes about 10 minutes to prepare. It's worth the wait :) This place is highly recommended, it's one of our favorites.The staff is always very friendly. The place is always clean, but except in winter, we prefer to wait for our order outside the premises because it is usually very hot inside (probably because of the taiyaki machines?).“
“Just came from the beach and decided to come here.The place is very welcoming,very clean.The young lady that rang me up was nice.There's a long bench to sit on & Hawaiian music being played while you wait for your order.I ordered the Halo Halo and Rootbear float for the wife.Halo2 was good compared to the other ones that I've tried but the wife didn't like hers. I might come back for the halo2 and try the mais con Yelo if I'm in the area.“
“I was introduced to Oakberry when I went to Rio de Janiero. I was delighted that they had one here!I ordered the acai bowl. It tasted just like the one in Brazil, so it is very consistent. It's so good especially on a hot day. I like to add peanut butter to mine. It's very refreshing.This is at the Howard Hughes center so there is plenty of parking. I believe it's free to park for the first 30 min.“
“Jennifer is the absolute best, I stumbled across this little hidden gem and I cannot say enough about the service I received from Jennifer. She let me and my co worker sample the drinks before deciding which one to get, and she makes the best organic Acai bowls. On the other note, we came back one day for lunch and I'm not sure what the lady name was that was there, she was so rude and we have not been back since. I wish Jennifer was there daily because I really loved the way her energy was and the way she made our bowl and drinks.“
“Great, I love the options, great ambiance. I was craving for açaí and loved the açaí with chia pudding bowl!Vegetarian options: Gluten free Brazilian cheese breadDietary restrictions: Pastries are not made for vegans and vegetarians. The Brazilian cheese bread is gluten free.“
“So glad I found this location! * near IKEA - so I'll grab this and walk around IKEA* fresh options * various choices of base and chia seed puddings* reasonable price* my kids love it I wish this place was closer to my home because I would come here dailyThey have three sizes and a menu to pick from 1. Size 2. Base : they have 6 choices3. Add chia pudding4. Fruit5. Granola6. Toppings My two kids devoured one small Amazon acai bowl.“

“Food was fantastic. Breakfast Burrito and the Acai bowls were really good. However, I was disappointed with the service. Even though I clearly stated that I was Eating In, I was given my Acai bowl in a throwaway plastic container with a wooden spoon. It just seemed they weren't very open to giving you proper cutlery and utensils to eat your food. Even my breakfast burrito came in a throwaway container. They don't seem to be very environmentally conscious at all, lots of one-use plastics, and their bins were overflowing.“
“My wife and i ordered a few smoothies(?) for the first time at Main Squeeze and we loved them! I don’t recall what my wife ordered but I ordered the Chocolate Thunda which was too awesome; the Rastaman waited on us, very friendly and chill. We’re in Thousand Oaks and going back there this morning! May try a breakfast but will get ‘that’ smoothie sometime today! ???“
“I wasn't familiar with the chain, but was visiting someone @ Huntington and stopped in for lunch. I had a smoothie and avocado toast and it hit the spot! I came back a few days later and tried a different smoothie and got the everything topping on the toast and an egg this time and it was epic! I've returned several times when I'm in the area, it's a great location, clean and quick.“
“This is my FAVORITE smoothie bowl place in California. Saying that they are perfect is an understatement. Their fruit is beyond fresh, juicy, and sweet. Every time I visit Manhattan Beach, Paradise Bowls is a must-stop location for my friends and I. (As seen in the pictures below I've gone 3+ times and that shows how good they are). My favorite bowl here is the Peach Bum bowl, its ingredients are super well-curated and the fruits complement each other perfectly. The menu is pretty extensive and goes beyond just smoothie bowls. The prices are pretty affordable and typical for a smoothie bowl, around $10 for a size small. My photos feature the small size and there is still a pretty big portion despite its "small" labeling. The service is good, with staff being efficient. The bowls came out pretty quickly! The ambiance of the store is super cute, beachy, and has a surf shack vibe to it, perfect for the beach! The views right next to the store are extremely gorgeous featuring the Manhattan Beach coastline. This store is located close to the sand, where you can bring your bowls to picnic right next to the Pacific waves.“
“Customizable acai bowls and smoothies with savory items like empanadas and cheese bread are available le at this Brazilian spot. Came here on a Saturday evening for a light dinner and had the acai bowl, mushroom and cheese empanada, protein smoothie. Everything tasted fresh and I felt healthy after eating it all. The mushroom and cheese empanada was especially delicious. I appreciated how we could customize the toppings and there were items like goji berries and cacao nibs. The process was easy and the employees were friendly. Street parking. Credit cards accepted. I would recommend this place when you want a snack or a light meal that's healthy but still tastes good!“
“Okay....this bowl is DELICIOUS. Truly, I was so happy eating this. Three people asked me where I got it. Was it because I was smiling? Was it because the bowl itself looked good? Was it a combo? We may never know haha.But, dang it was something else. I wish I didn't live in NYC I'd get one bowl a day.I had to take one star off...just cuz...yeah, it's pricey. But I'm sure it has to do with the prime location. But it's still expensive haha.“
“This acai bowl and smoothie shop is located on a street with many fashionable shops, as mentioned in the guidebook. There are many stylish shops on this street, so I think this acai bowl is perfect for a break. It's confusing because there are so many types.There are places to eat inside and in the garden. It was very fresh and delicious.“
Acai Bowls • $$
“I have been wanting to stop by this business for a very long time. It's kind of off of a busy street so it makes it a little hard to pull over. I finally had the time to do so today. They have a sign that says lobster mac & cheese, which has captured my attention for months. I finally had the opportunity to check it out. I walked in, it was really quiet. There wasn't anybody here which I was kind of surprised because it is near a college and a few high schools but I feel like the business probably picks up towards the evening. Very clean, which is always a good sign. They use a clover point of sale system. Imedela was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. She guided me through the process and made excellent suggestions. I still went with the lobster mac & cheese, which is what I wanted the whole time, I ordered the lobster mac & cheese so course it's a little pricey they do have some really cool looking sides like bacon jalapeño Mac bites, but I declined. So after I gave a tip, it's literally $30 for lobster mac & cheese. But what I want I have to have so I got the order to go. It took about seven minutes maybe give or take not sure I didn't keep my eye on the clock. I parked, and I'm waiting for my friend to come downstairs so I lift up the lid and it smells delicious. I take my first bite. The cheese pull the lobster. It was worth the wait so delicious I am ecstatic! Oh, I am in heaven this is absolutely delicious! YAY!!!! Imelda said that there is parking around the back. I didn't see where she was talking about but I guess you'd have to kind of go around the block and figure it out. The only thing that I can say that I did not like is their choice of utensil I like a heavier utensil. This is a Spork nothing wrong with a Spork but it's one of the flimsier ones. I would've liked to have had a heavier utensil that's my only issue other than that I will be back those bacon jalapeño mac & cheese bites are mine!!“
“A hidden boba place close on Tuesday for I don't know what reason... no idea. maybe Taco Tuesday off days? lolMy go to Boba place when i'm lazy to drive to Ding Tea or 85 degrees.there price is higher than Ding Tea i would say a dollar or two more.However, i like this place because they have Churro with different topping I prefer the caramel toppings. They have Acai Bowl which is unique find so I don't have to go driving to a just Churro or Acai place.They have a beautiful seating dine in place where you can bring along friends and eat peacefully. Lots of parking. Very friendly staff, either pay thru Kiosk/iPad, or cash, card.“
“When I can order great food on an app and it's ready on time, I'm a fan! Nekter is centrally located and has convenient parking, so it's fast and easy to pick up my acai bowl when I'm not in the mood to make a full meal on my own. My favorite thus far is the acai mango bowl, but I look forward to trying others.“
“Plenty of free parking and close to other shops. I’ve been to this location a lot and they’re very consistent with the service and quality. I like their ordering kiosk because I usually take my time deciding what I want, everything is good! The Polar Pineapple and Mahalo Mango are delicious. They also have chips and water available for sale.“
“The staff was very nice in helping me find the location. I was on the other side of the mall. Thank you for that. The frozen yogurt was good, as always. Thank you to the helpful staff for my frozen yogurt fix since the one in Gardena closed for Halloween.“
“Tive uma experiência maravilhosa no Oakberry de Hermosa. O atendimento foi incrível, an Alex nos recebeu de forma muito acolhedora e simpática, explicou tudo sobre o açaí. Ela também compartilhou suas dicas de toppings favoritos, que foram um grande sucesso. O açaí estava delicioso, e a equipe foi super atenciosa. Definitivamente, um lugar para voltar!“
