The Baseline: For a grocery store it must have a wide selection of items, the produce/bakery/meat selections must be fresh, the store aisles need to be clean/organized, the traffic flow must be logical, the prices must reflect the value, and the service from staff must be good. Food: Came in for milk, eggs, cereal, smoothies, and got the Coconut red lentil soup. Loved the hot bar soup and the smoothie was good. Love my higher quality eggs and milk from Erewhon. Service: All the store staff were friendly and helpful looking for items we came in for. Ambiance: The aisles were clean and fully stocked. The layout is a complete grid and the aisle sizes allowed for 2 carts to pass by comfortably. Price: This is a higher end grocery store but there is still items here that you will not find in most other grocery stores. I am paying for quality eggs with orange yolks and my A2 milk has real cream on top, there is a difference. read more

Erewhon Manhattan Beach - Hailey bieber's strawberry - Grocery Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I have been to other locations but it was my first time at the MB store and I was pleasantly surprised with the layout and amenities. I visited on a rainy Monday during President's Day and it was still packed! The food options were endless, the service from the pizza kitchen and the smoothie bar were great. I did walk out of the store buying a few items to give some things a try. I think the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is due to some ingredients I really wanted weren't ready for use like the limes, which were hard as a rock and the mint came in a giant Costco sized portion which I did not want to waste. I'll definitely be back for the pizza, smoothies, sushi, and a few other things but first, I'll want to become a member as I do see the savings offered. read more

This morning we stopped into Erewhon for their delicious savory sourdough bread, packaging changed from a plastic bag to a nice paper package. Very nice an elegant touch. Cashiers are always nice and always ask if you want the receipt. I guess this saves paper if one should say no, like we always say. It looks as though Erewhon is going to make it at that location, prices are fair but some are pricey. read more

Stopped by to try out the Travis Scott Storm Storm smoothie and it was pretty busy. I got in line to place my order on the tablet and the line moved slowly. The $22 smoothie consists of the following ingredients: Agua de Kefir Dragon Fruit Fresa, MALK Organic Coconut Milk, Sun Chlorella, Cocoyo Raw Coconut Yogurt Piña Colada, Magic Mind Mental Performance Shot, Ancient Nutrition Multi-Collagen Advanced Hydrate Lemon Lime, organic lemon and lime juice, pineapple, banana, and chlorophyll. Waited about 15 minutes and my name was finally called out. I took a quick sip and the smoothie was refreshing and tasted good. The store was very busy and definitely not cart friendly at this time. There was a lot of people standing around everywhere and only a few were actually grocery shopping. The store was clean and organized. read more

Erewhon Manhattan Beach - Storm Storm smoothie / $22 - Grocery Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

For a small store, the selection is pretty good, this location is carrying all the most popular things, and it is crazy busy. Maybe because it's newly openned. I really like the deli, I had the miso black cod and it was delicious. It looked a little "old". But apperences can be decieving. I was thinking it was dry, but not at all. A delicious piece of fish which I couldn't have made myself better. I'm glad it's placed on this collard green leaf. It held the oil and flavor. My sides were fried rice and power greens. The fried rice is definitely something I wall have to pass on in the future. Mild flavor and dry. The power greens were pretty delicious and a double side of that still wouldn't be enough. The whole meal was a combo and the price was $33 a pound. The weight was .64. it cost $21.24 plus tax I think. I'd say it's worth it and there's value there because it was delicious. However, I probably wouldn't choose a chicken or pork entrée at that price. read more

Erewhon is now in the South Bay! I was intrigued (and admittedly excited) when I saw Erewhon would be opening up in Manhattan Beach. They took over the spot that was previously housed by Mother's Market and they just had their grand opening yesterday! The popularity of this luxury grocery store is insane! Day 1, the line was wrapped around the building. Today on the second day, there was no longer a long outside line but the parking was packed! They had plenty of employees inside helping folks out and they were doing their best to help the lines move efficiently. I chose to go the the Hot Bar first. I was torn between getting a combo plate or a burrito or a chicken pot pie. I ended up getting the chicken pot for $16.50. Next up I went to their famous Erewhon Tonic Bar! This is where all the cool kids hang out ;). It honestly seemed like the whole town was there to buy smoothies. I opted to go with the self serve ordering iPad versus ordering at the counter. I thought this was a pretty efficient way to order. They basically sent me a text once I placed my order and when the order was ready, they texted me again. For my drink, I chose to get their Amino Acid Trip Smoothie for $13. Since it was my first time ever to visit an Erewhon, I was definitely excited to see how everything tasted. My expectations were high for the smoothie! The smoothie was good and I could definitely taste the yuzu flavoring. It definitely had a pineapple kick too. I must admit I couldn't really taste too much of a difference thought between other smoothies from other cafes (ahh don't hate me for saying it!). The smoothie was flavorful but nothing too distinctly different taste wise! Though with this smoothie being made with organic oat milk and coconut cream; I can definitely see why the smoothies here can be more on the pricey side. It's all about fresh and quality ingredients! As for the chicken pot pie, I was definitely impressed. I loved the buttery crust and saucy filling of chicken, potatoes and carrots. It was a large pot pie too and I was able to split it into two meals! It was a good first visit and I do want to visit again! TBD if I'll get one of the famous $20+ celebrity smoothies! I'm definitely glad I got to try their smoothie and food for the first time today and I'm happy to have this location in the South Bay! read more

Erewhon never disappoints! My man and I stopped by for smoothies, and they were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The store is always clean, well-stocked, and has such a great atmosphere. The service was amazing! It's one of our favorite spots for a healthy treat, and we'll definitely be back for more! read more

Insane line for the opening of Manhattan Beach store, Erewhon's first in the South Bay! On opening Day, July 2nd, they offered complimentary lattes and flowers, a custom Manhattan Beach-themed smoothie for purchase, and limited edition tote bags for the first 150 customers (who spend $250!!!) While I'm not a big fan of their $19+ smoothies, I'm a fan of their soups (comes in a glass jar that you pay an additional $1-2 per jar but you get it back if you recycle it back to the store, as store credit or cash back). Also a fan of their protein bowl from the tonic bar. I've enjoyed their hot bar service and friendly folks, and their health day events where they have free samples. Decent amount of parking around the store. read more

The grocery store itself reminded me of an elevated sprouts or Whole Foods. Although there were several products I haven't seen available at other stores, the majority of the products are available at those other stores. Erewhon does have an edge up on presentation with how they stock their shelves. The smooth bar was just average to me. I had to get one to try but for the price I don't think it's something I'll grab each time. The service was good. read more

Love love love Erewhon! I may have to come out of retirement to support this habit, but they have ALL the goods! There are so many high quality and unique, health products. I joined with the Cafe Membership and am thinking I need to upgrade. Team members have been helpful and cheerful. The store is clean and sparkly. I love coming to "Erewhon" which is actually "Somewhere Great!" read more

I am a grocery store enthusiast so when I heard about Erewhon I knew I had to make my pilgrimage! Already knowing the lowdown about this luxury grocery chain, I wasn't too sticker shocked at the prices. However, it's definitely a cut above even Whole Foods prices. Some of the small plates and hot foods that you can buy at Whole Foods for 10-20 dollars for an entree are more like 30-50 dollars at erewhon. I found that the actual grocery section seemed reasonable. There are a lot of items that look familiar from visits to Ralph's, Vons, etc. I did notice that many items were smaller than usual or more expensive than at other grocery stores, despite being the same prepackaged item. The hot bar area was where erewhon shone! The food was mouthwatering in appearance and smelled divine. I decided on a salad (they have so many delicious looking salads!), a coconut cream panna cotta, and of course the famous Hailey Bieber smoothie. The smoothie came out after about 15 minutes . There was a bit of a rush at this time and while I was waiting I saw about 15 other Hailey Bieber smoothies being made and picked up. It seems like this is the standout item at erewhon for sure. The other smoothies looked amazing too, especially the blue colored ones. It's a bit pricey for what it is, though the flavor and ingredients are unique-- I found the smoothie wasn't too sweet, and had a strong fresh strawberry and banana flavor. The taste of the dates and maple syrup added an earthy tinge of sweetness. I could not taste the sea moss, coconut cream, or avocado at all. The smoothie was really heavy and I decided to save half of it for the next day (even though im normally a big eater). I wasn't as happy with the panna cotta-- it didn't have the right texture and was a bit grainy. Rather than being like a gelatin dessert, it was more like a paste. I thought the blueberries on top were an adorable touch though. Haven't tried the salad yet but definitely think it looks delicious!!! read more

Very nice staff and plenty of free parking. Same plaza as a Trader Joe's and REI so it's a very convenient location. The store wasn't too tight and crowded like other Erewhons but I'm surprised the variety wasn't as wide. But the lack of traffic was very welcome. I think this location had something wrong with their cups and straws though. Our smoothie cup broke once and the straws broke three times they were so brittle. Maybe stored in the sun too long. But they had an Manhattan beach exclusive drink which was similar to the Amino Acid. Overall, another fun time buying interesting snacks and knick knacks. read more

Who remembers this location as Fresh n Easy?! Well, same concept and layout, just prettier and fancy. Was it worth the hype? Yes and no. Gave it a few weeks to let the crowds die down a bit. It's beautiful inside. Staff is nice, friendly, helpful. Shelves are beautifully stocked. Some items are reasonable priced, some items are just ridiculously expensive for no reason. The Hailey smoothie only took 15 minutes from order to delivery. Great tasting, good quality ingredients, but not worth $23 with tip. Would I try other smoothies and the hot foods next time? Maybe. Got Creatine for $16.99 on sale. Seems like a good deal, considering I've paid a lot more at Sprouts. As an LA/Southbay native, felt like I had to see what the hype was. read more

this is the closest location to me and i really like it!! parking is ample and i do like the outside patio area. it can get super busy around lunch time. easy to get to, well kept and maintain and even when busy the lines have a bit of order to them so it's not as chaotic inside the actual store. read more

Please note, this review is from a window-shopper's point of view... This was our first visit to any Erewhon and I still don't know how to pronounce it. Absolutely beautiful store. Very clean, very colorful store, and very friendly and helpful staff. If you usually shop at a Ralphs or Vons type of store, you might feel like you're in a different country. So many brands and specialty items that you might not recognize a brand name for a couple of asiles. Fairly high appearance and very high service brings higher prices as well. But, it was fun to walk around in and there were lots of people filling their carts. Bring your reading glasses and extra funds and...enjoy! read more

Happy to have an Erewhon in the neighborhood! Settled next to a strip mall with other retailers like REI, plenty of parking available. All their food is fresh, they have a hot bar full of breakfast items also. This is very notch's but they have the best, so $$$. Friendly service staff and very clean. read more

Three stars for price but I'll be generous. Why is everything so expensive here!? Quality is the same as any other grocery store for many of the items. $20 for a smoothie? And yet when I went and tried it for the first time the smoothie line was really long. So I honestly felt the need to try what the hype was about and I spent $40 on two smoothies. One was the strawberry and one was the coconut. The strawberry tasted like any other strawberry smoothie, we were disappointed. The coconut tasted like an açai bowl coconut flavor base. It tasted really good but not $20 good by any means. Then we tried the pizza which is the most reasonably priced thing in there hot meal section for the portion. Pizza was quite yummy! So I'll get the pizza again because I think the price for that is fair but I don't think I would get anything else. I just can't condone paying that much for something I can get elsewhere that will be just as tasty and quality the same. read more

Came to see what the hype was about. The store is very clean and organized. I did a walk through to see how the prices vary and they seemed reasonable depending on the item of course. I came for the vegan soft serve ice cream. I had the Hailey Bieber's Strawberry Glaze Soft Serve Sundae. It was delicious. I came back 2xs already and I am looking forward to my next trip. I can't have any dairy products due to a dairy allergy so it's been 5yrs since I had a soft serve ice cream. Thankful to have a close store near by. This was a treat for me. I would recommend it. It's a coconut base so if you like coconut give it a try. It will run you about $10 bucks. I also tried their tofu stick (hot food) and it didn't taste bad but it wasn't something I would buy again. They won me over on the vegan soft serve ice cream. read more

I went to the MB Erewhon in Day 2. Wow I forgot that the Harry's Berries are $25 for a 16 ounces. I think they were cheaper in the Palisades! The line for the smoothies was outrageous- 3 lines with about 10 people in each line - I couldn't wait in that line. The line for the hot food was also too long - I forgot that nearly everyone in Manhattan Beach eats out, but I know that the hot food at Erewhon is pretty good, but pricey. The food cases didn't have my spicy tuna crispy rice or the brown rice balls, I'm assuming they will eventually stock that. read more

I've been to so many Erewhon locations, this was my first time at this one and grabbing an Erewhon meal. My meal was really good. The best pizza I've had in my life. The strawberry glaze smoothie taste like the best strawberry picked in the mountain. Amazing and my skin felt amazing hours later. I purchased some groceries, cashier was rude . Just not a good one. Workers on the floor were dismissive. I came here during peak hours, people are in the way. This location is not the best vibe in many ways, I prefer other locations. However, this location has free and the easiest parking which makes me only want to come back eating purposes read more

It's a very vibey LA theme The grocery store with probably the most exorbitant prices I've ever seen. That being said, I did get there raw smoothie that had protein and it was basically Greek yogurt and it was excellent but in no world actually worth the close to $25 I think I spent on it. It was also a bit of a mess trying to figure out where exactly to pick up the smoothie when I ordered it on Uber eats. It wasn't particularly clear but we figured it out eventually. read more

I ordered a tote bag from Erewhon that arrived with visible bleach stains. When I contacted customer service to report the damage, I was told that what I was seeing was simply a 'natural variation in the canvas,' which was completely false and frankly insulting. Rather than acknowledging the defective item, they doubled down, insisted all sales were final, and made it clear they had no intention of helping me. After five attempts to get any form of resolution, I was essentially told I was stuck with a damaged product. It was only after I threatened to write a review that they offered an exchange, which I declined. At that point, a refund was the only acceptable resolution given the experience I had been put through. For a brand that charges premium prices and markets itself as a luxury experience, the customer service protocols and quality assurance are appalling. Being gaslit over an obvious defect on a $160 item is not the standard I expected from Erewhon. Buyer beware, if your order arrives damaged, don't expect them to take responsibility. read more

All stock is presented beautifully. The staff is helpful and courteous. Ordered 2 smoothies and they were prepared exactly as advertised.

I visited Erewhon on a Saturday late afternoon. I got the malibu mango smoothie & a sushi pack, while my friend got the sun, sand, & c smoothie. The sushi was nothing to write home about, but we both really liked our drinks. I enjoyed walking around the neatly organized store & loved seeing the variety of products they carry. I only really like visiting occasionally for a treat since their drink prices are nearly as much as a full meal. read more

I really enjoy Erewhon because they offer such a great selection of healthy food options and drinks. While I don't do my grocery shopping here since the prices are definitely on the higher side, I can't say enough good things about the hot bar. Everything I've tried has been fresh and flavorful. I especially love the salmon, the kale salad, and the veggie options -- all perfectly seasoned and filling for a full meal. The portion sizes are just right for one person, and the quality is always consistent. I also have to mention the Hailey Bieber smoothie -- it's hands down the best one I've tried and worth the hype.

Am I embarrassed that I spent $20 on a smoothie? Yeah, but I'm from NY so I spend money on needless stuff all the time. Couldn't get early check-in at my hotel so I dropped off my stuff and walked over here. It was exactly what I thought it'd look like with Teslas in the parking lot and everything in mason jars. I did appreciate that this was within walking distance and there's outdoor seating in the shade so I could rehydrate in peace. The cafe part is in the back and you can order your smoothie from the tablet or at the register. The cashier was nice and the line moved quickly. The wait was reasonable for the amount of people working and on line. I wouldn't say the smoothie was life-changing but maybe if the Katseye "Gabriela" one benefitting the Malala fund was still available, I'd be singing a different tune. I thought 33 days after its announcement would mean it was still on the menu but it wasn't, so be sure to order your expensive smoothie right away if you are local to an Erewhon and want to try a specific collab. read more

If you haven't heard of Erewhon yet you may be living under a rock. Erewhon is so on brand with a certain LA stereotype, haling itself as the grocery designer store. Forget keeping up with the Joneses; we're here to clobber them. Unlike most Erewhon locations with tiny parking lots and valet, this one has significantly more parking spots and it's free. Additionally, the store itself is much bigger than most which is a huge plus. When you go inside you are transported into a different world. The smell of a higher tax bracket is in the air, mixed with candles of unicorns and aura crystals. Jokes aside, at least this location is slightly bigger and more modern than most so it's not as cramped, though it still kind of is. They've definitely elevated the ordinary grocery store experience to something; don't want to be confused and mixed up with the poors and too-commercial whole foods shoppers, you know? Depending on when you go, anywhere between 10 and 50 percent of shoppers are just there for the food court, mostly to have the honor to have their lips blessed by those bougie $20+ smoothies. If you went to Erewhon and didn't get a Hailey Bieber smoothie, did you even go? Jokes on us because they have such strong brand recognition, they are probably charging their suppliers an inclusion fee to proudly list them as part of the ingredients. Not many can boast the same level of cultural cachet. The staff is extremely friendly and likely underwent intense training which surely prepared them to masterfully deal with any do-you-know-who-l-am Karen and diffuse the situation by assuring them they are indeed the most important person in the world. As a bonus, you'll get to practice your valley girl accent, like oh my god like literally no joke, I'm so dead right now... So you may be asking if those smoothies are worth the exorbitant prices but that would be the wrong question. Going back to the analogy with designer brands - many charge not based on how much it costs to make the garment but what the market would bear; the price is not so much a byproduct of the means of production but the main deterrent helping to weed out the other in order to form the it crowd (some may call it the fan base, others a cult). So when someone is rocking the $150+ Erewhon tote bag, it's not because they thought it cost more than $15 to produce but because having it is used a signal to others about their status and values. read more

He's "fine, harmless ... She just had a bad reaction to him," security guy in the flannel shirt said after talking to the aggressive male customer I had encountered in line. I spotted the male customer loitering outside, watching and waiting for me to checkout. Security's inept response here was potentially dangerous. Aggressive male customer had started to walk south from the entrance when he saw that I was speaking with security, meandering toward where I had parked, without any obvious intent to leave. Security guy #2 said, "that guy's a daily customer." Makes him harmless, right? Security guy #2 then said the stranger seemed to have left, based on no evidence. I asked, "How do you know that he's not sitting in his car?" Security guy offered to walk me to my vehicle. I asked to speak with the store director, Bryan, instead. I reached out to Erewhon corporate office and received the attached screenshot response. Hopefully, security will be more effective after retraining. If not, this review will corroborate anyone else's similar experience moving forward. FYI, pizza crew here needs retraining and pro tips from Santa Monica Erewhon on how to make gluten-free pizza. Broccoli pizza crust at the MB store is too thick to fully undergo maillard reaction in the oven. Tastes like soggy bread and falls apart in your hand so that you need to eat the toppings with a spoon. #securityfail #pizzafail read more
