Main Squeeze - Santa Monica

The tradition continues with our less than stellar acai bowls in Santa Monica. We've only ever had that here, and for $12 each $2 less than our favorite and massive Basik Cafe bowls in SF and $2 MORE than our other loves of Paradise Bowls in Manhattan Beach), these are not a deal or super tasty. I'd say everyone likes to claim acai bowls are healthy, and theirs truly feels it, but maybe not in the best way. The bowl comes with a light purple acai, much less sweet than other acai we've had. It's well-blended to have more of a sorbet texture though so not liquid-y or frozen solid, which is good). It's topped with granola, coconut and frozen blueberries. No honey and no fresh fruit. I don't get why it's so hard to chop some fresh fruit for some of these places. The fresh fruit makes a massive difference, and also doesn't leave you feeling quite as freezing after you finish the bowl. The fruit is one of our favorite parts of other bowls, when mixed with the acai. The coconut here was rather bland and very small flakes, as if they were at the end of a container of a low-quality coconut. The granola is fine, nothing to write home about, but it works. The bowl is what I'd call small-to-medium sized. It serves better as a snack, because as a breakfast by itself, you'll need more food in a few hours, unlike Basik or Paradise Bowls. Service is fine, not too friendly but fine enough. There are a few stools to sit on, but beware, it gets loud with the blenders constantly going.

I'm here recently and got the basic green juice. it was good and tastes clean.

Small juice and smoothie bar with organic ingredients.

Today stopped and got a summer-time green that is made with green apple, gurke, kale, sellerie, birne, lime and mint. it was very satisfying and a nice mix for a hot day. it is optionally listed with goer boost and while it can go well with it, I was discouraged to hear that there is an additional fee for it, especially since the 16oz drink is already pricy. they have numerous boosts that they can add, which I have seen far beyond other juice choices. it seems to be all about the up-sell. if they don't care about the cost, this could be a big daily stop if they are in the opposite. in contrast to the former reviewer when I stopped in all the means of life, was vegetarian, and when I asked, they said they never had anything non-veget. I have to go back and see if the things have changed since I was there a few months ago.

I would say that everyone likes to say that Acai bullets are healthy, and their really feels it, but perhaps not the best wise. the bowl comes with a bright purple acai, much less sweet than other acai we had. it is well mixed to have more of a Sorbet texture (so not liquid-y or frozen solid, which is good). it is filled with granola, coconuts and frozen blueberries. no honey and no fresh fruit. I don't understand why it's so hard to hack for some of these local fresh fruits. the fresh fruit makes a massive difference, and also it does not let itself be so freeze after it finish the bowl. the fruit is one of our favorite parts of other dishes when mixed with the acai. the cocosnus was here rather bland and very small flocks, as if they were at the end of a container with a high quality cocosnus. the granola is in order to write nothing at home, but it works. the bowl is what I would call small-to-medium size. it serves better than snack, because as an breakfast you need more eating in a few hours, in the opposite to basik or paradise bowls. service is good, not too friendly, but good enough. there are a couple of stools to sit, but it will be loud with the mishes constantly going.
