What is preventing me from giving them a 5/5 is that trying to call them in advance to place an…read moreorder (say an acai bowl) is impossible. I've tried on numerous occasions at different dates/times/weeks to call and place an order in advance and the call just goes to a generic answering machine stating "we are busy assisting other customers". Even trying to do a follow-up call leads to the same result! Even picking up and placing me on hold would be better than not answering and likely not listening to voicemails or returning calls! That said, the times that I do show up, parking is generally plentiful and the wait time from order placed (in person) to order ready is generally very very short - usually around 5-7 minutes and the staff are generally friendly and efficient!

She yelled form the back counter and asked me to move away from the order screen. *Noting.... NO ONE was in line... and there was plenty of room to go around me. I was in that exact spot because they have chairs blocking the rest of the counter top, and I wanted to ensure I didn't block the entrance door. I stood there for no more than 2 minutes. She then said, "Have a good day!" Like, get out of here. Don't waste your time for a watered down smoothie. I'd much rather spend my $ across the street at Cow's End!!! Much better smoothies, and significantly kinder staff!!

I've been a huge fan of Paradise Bowls for years, but going to the Manhattan Beach location was…read morealways tough because parking there can be such a nightmare with how busy it gets. So when I found out they opened a location in the Marina, I was beyond excited! The portions are incredible, and they never skimp on toppings. Every bowl is practically overflowing! Everything always tastes so fresh, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. The staff is also amazing: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely upbeat. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted warmly and feel instantly welcomed. If you've never tried Paradise Bowls before, you absolutely need to. My personal favorite is the Chocolate Arc, but they have a great variety of options and tons of ways to customize your bowl exactly how you like it. 10/10 every single time!

They had an imaculate takeaway drink fridge, modern decor, plenty of little extras for snacks, supplements, etc. Located between Chipotle and Warburg Parker in the Marina shopping center. They have smoothies, bowls and toasts. Some drinks and snackables too, like pretzels, bags of granola, etc. Service was a little slow, but they were VERY nice. O waited about 15 mins. The line was a bit long, so I opted to place my order online (which quotes a longer wait than in-person:/ and they prioritized me after I asked, even though they didn't have to:) I'm a sucker for a good customer experience. The bowl itself, very good! Personal preference for a more solid, ice cream texture and this was more soft, but still good. My favorite bowl is from SunLife Organics and this is just below that for me. I can't tell if the honey is good quality:/ ...(owner comment here?) but everything else is tops!

I decided to give it another chance after some time had passed, hoping things would be better. Unfortunately, this visit was even more disappointing. I ordered online to save time and stood at the pickup counter for about 12 minutes without a single employee acknowledging me. Multiple customers walked in after me and were immediately helped, while staff continued taking new orders and assisting others as I tried to make eye contact and say I was there to pick up. I honestly felt invisible. When I finally spoke up as someone was handing out another order, they went to the freezer and grabbed mine -- it had been ready the whole time. It wasn't just the wait, but the lack of basic acknowledgment that was frustrating. After giving this place another chance, I'm really disappointed that both order accuracy and customer service continue to be issues.

We ordered 3 sandwich's, waited 23 min where they kept saying they were behind in their orders and to have patience. They were all mobile or delivery orders as well. The workers finally came out with our food and none of the sandwich's were labeled. One was gluten free and all 3 were different types. When I asked what was what the employees acted as if I asked for a vital organ. She 'guessed' and that was supposed to be good enough for me. I have celiac so that wasn't good enough for me. All 3 sandwich's were shoved at me with no bag and 2 or the 3 were literally dripping dressing and juice all over. I really hope they can get their employees together otherwise there's no chance it's going to make it on AK

I had them make the smoothie without collagen as that is a beef product. It literally took 21 minutes on a Wednesday. It was ok, a little sweet with the stevia. I asked how many calories and they wouldn't tell me. Only that it's meant as a "meal replacement " and is between 500-1200 calories. Oof! I'll stick with the healthy superfruit smoothie from Toastique. The salad was good with the figs standing out and the sandwich was delicious. Lots of avocados. Ambiance: everyone is there for the prepared foods and smoothies. The grocery aisles were fairly empty. There's a few bar stools by the entrance so we ate there but most take to go. Parking: very small light with complimentary valet. Luckily we got a spot. Note there's a 30 minute parking limit! Price: $53 for the above 3 items.
