Great place for amazing smoothies, green juices, and healthy "shots". So glad I came across this place. Only slight inconvenience is that they take pretty long to make your order, so make sure to order before getting there if you don't have much time to spare. When I came here for the very first time they completely forgot to make one of the 3 juices that u had ordered. It wasn't until I asked that they realized they forgot to make it. They happily made it and even offered a sample of a different drink (which was nice of them). But still, order ahead because hiccups like this can happen (they get kinda busy). Highly recommend any of the green juices. I'll be sure to try the food next time around :) read more

Delicious spot for all your smoothie needs. I got the sensual vibes smoothie and it was delicious. I have to get my greens in somehow and this was the tastiest way to do it. With spinach, kale, and mango I would suggest this green juice to anyone even for those who might stay away from greens! I also got their mushroom coffee. Couldn't really taste any mushroom but glad I tried it! The cashier told me it had antioxidants and benefits from mushroom and I wanted some coffee so it was great for me! read more

Very disappointed with my recent visit a few days ago. My last visit was quite a while ago, around 2020/2021, when the business was named 'Glowing Juices'. Been here many times and would always bring people to enjoy what I thought was the best Acai bowl in L.A. This past weekend I have no idea what happened. The prices have gone up, but the bowl had fewer fruit. I wish I had taken a picture of the acai bowl because it only had 5 blueberries on it, and the smallest dab of coconut shreds. The most disappointing part was the granola, which was dry and almost burnt. We both talked about how it tasted burnt. It definitely was disappointing and I was embarrassed by how much I bragged about this place. read more

My roommate and I decided last minute to get some fresh juice after our hike. We just choose any juice store that was on the way, and Glowing Juices was the closest one. I am so glad we stopped by because it was exactly what we were looking for: a place with fresh quality juices, cute vibes, and extremely friendly staff. They were even nice to my dog! I didn't realize there was a mini-market until I had a chance to look around while waiting for my drink. I am not vegan, but some of the items seemed like quality healthy food that I would like to try one day. There are no indoor seating options, but there are a couple of benches outside and one small table. Lastly, parking is street parking, so it can be challenging, but maybe you'll get lucky! read more

The grocery selection is FIRE! It's exciting to find a local, hidden gem of a shop like this managed by people who give a damn. There are loads of alternative milk types and a few cheeses too. Can't wait to make vegan grilled cheese, haha. The garlic sauce I bought was just sensational. I ate it with kettle chips, pita chips, flax seed crisps, etc and it was good on everything, surprisingly. I didn't get any pictures of it but there's a whole fridge of coffees, kombucha, teas, soda waters and all sorts of hard to find (if you've ever even see it before) products. That was gnarly. Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying more things read more

I came in here after work having not eaten all day. At first glance the place has a very open and high vibe. There's some food, snacks and vegan condiments. Teas and drinks in fridges. A little bit of everything. I was looking at juices and although they looked absolutely amazing I opted for a smoothie. I asked the guys working (who were both very kind) what their favorites were. I ended up with the Mother Nature smoothie. It has a nutty taste with the dates adding a bit of sweetness. Man! This thing was FILLING. It's two hours later and I'm only halfway through. I loved the surrounding area and there are a few tables you can sit down at. I'll definitely be back to try some other items on the menu. For sure recommend read more

I went here on May 3rd after struggling with symptoms for several months and not finding much…read morerelief elsewhere. The process was definitely different from a regular doctor visit, but honestly, it was a really interesting experience. Since the practitioner doesn't speak English, I translated my symptoms into Chinese using Google Translate and showed him my phone. He checked my tongue and pulse very carefully before writing out a custom herbal tea prescription entirely in Chinese characters. You then take the prescription to the front counter where they prepare the herbs into 5 separate bags. Each bag lasts 2 days, and you boil the herbs for about an hour, strain the tea, and save the rest for the next day. I'm not going to lie -- the tea tastes STRONG. Very earthy, bitter, and honestly like dirt lol. Each boiled tea bag yields 24-32 oz. that needs to be consumed warm, preferably in one sitting after lunch. It was hard to drink, but after finishing my first cycle (10days) I noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms. They explained that most people do 2-3 cycles using the same prescription for full results. I genuinely feel a lot better. I paid $20 for consultation + $85 for the tea. If you use the prescription and 2nd time you only pay for the tea of $85. They take credit cards but there is a $6 transaction fee.

Umami by Whole Foods Market

I went to Whole Foods Market this morning around 8:00 a.m…read more A few days ago, I saw on social media that Amazon Prime members can get 50% off select Van Leeuwen and McConnell's ice cream at Whole Foods Market, so I decided to go and pick up a few pints. I had stopped by on Thursday evening, but by the time I got there, most of the ice cream was already sold out. I figured there would be a much better selection if I went early in the morning, so even though it was the weekend, I headed there almost as soon as I woke up. As I expected, there were plenty of ice cream flavors available early in the morning, which made me really happy. I ended up buying three flavors: Van Leeuwen Dubai Style Chocolate Cone, Van Leeuwen Sicilian Pistachio, and McConnell's × See's Candies Vanilla California Brittle. I tried all three, and every single one was absolutely delicious. I also picked up some organic mustard and white balsamic vinegar. When I checked out, a young male employee helped me. I asked him if the 50% discount on the ice cream was for Amazon Prime members, and he confirmed that it was. Then I asked him how to show that I was an Amazon Prime member, and he kindly explained the process. He even put all of my groceries into the shopping bag I had brought with me. He was very friendly and helpful, which made my shopping experience even better. When I was picking out the ice cream, an employee who was stocking items nearby kindly held the freezer door open for me. I really appreciated that as well. He suddenly held the door, so I looked up in surprise. He said he was just trying to help, so I thanked him I also love that Whole Foods Market is within walking distance of my home. It's so convenient, and they always have a great selection of high-quality products. Just a heads-up: The 50% off ice cream promotion for Amazon Prime members runs through July 7th. If you're not an Amazon Prime member, you can still get 44% off instead.

He answered all my questions about this location. I was made aware that most, if not all, products and produce are sent from this location to all other Lassen locations. Overall, my visit was positive, and I recommend this location.

Shoutout to Gabe, the grill master will cook you an amazing steak or the best vegan tacos you've ever had. The entire Hank's team including the owner, is friendly and has always made me feel very welcomed and they go out of their way to help me. It's so nice to have them in the neighborhood.

The best chipotle aioli sauce to go with any meal! Please, the sauce is truly the hit... soo fire! These are just some of my faves to name! It's a convenient organic based market where you can grocery shop for essentials and grab quick to go meals. They offer a hot food bar, an off the grill menu in the patio/outside seating, cold press juices and smoothies that are fresh made-to-order. Oh, and coffee. The staff is always welcoming. Their service is kind. I love when they welcome me with a "Hiii, Moe!" Glorious energy when humans greet you in a certain way. Hanks is definitely a place that was needed in the Art District...serving the neighborhood with their organic ways. It's really a privilege to be able to have healthier options to nourish our bodies with. I've seen them grew through the years and I can surely say they are thriving and in motion. You see plenty of creatives and industry folks here and you just never know who you're going to run into. It's all love here. Shout out to Emmanuel, Miguel and the whole staff for keeping this place running and flowing. Let's not forget the BOH chefs and Gabriel, who is the grill master in the patio, for always working hard in nurturing every dish!

I took 3, the suggested dose, and by the next day my pain had gone from a 7 or 8 to about a 3 or 4. When pain softens, life softens with it. My mood shifted almost immediately because my body was no longer carrying the same level of strain. It's amazing how much brighter everything feels when the edge of pain lets go. I'm very thankful for the suggestion to give this a try. For me, it brought real relief, and that is no small thing.

The cashiers are friendly to your face, some of them are very genuine, I've been shopping here since 2017. But like the store experience, cold as you walk away. They're jealous of the people who shop here. I don't know how to explain it. The food has premium prices so things are on the expensive side. If you have the money to shop here or even EBT the cashiers can be snide. They talk about you while you're around the corner like I just don't understand. One of the cashier guys (one who was fired for this) who works here has to feel better than you, like it's a popularity contest and it's a grocery store. He calls you loco and then hides in the back so you don't get his name on his nametag. And he has brown and grey in his hair like how old are you??? I don't think it's a race thing (although I have had to complain to corporate about the C#+#k on their dumpsters in the front parkinglot. I think it's a spoiled, entitlement thing. I feel like people should be grateful to have a job. Maybe this location is not the best place to shop if you have social anxiety or are sensitive to mean people.

Go on a weekday so the wait is a bit more bearable (I waited about 30-40 minutes on a weekday midday). The matcha latte with a cream top was rich and sweet - I loved it, but I had a few friends that thought it was too much. More of a sweet treat drink than a sophisticated matcha, but I'm not complaining. Inside there isn't any seating, and the line does wrap around one time indoors. They're quite busy but do get the drinks out pretty quick! Food options were sold out by the time I got there around noon.

I ended up parking about a block away, so prepare for that if you're coming during peak hours. I ordered the Tropical Hibiscus and the Coconut Matcha Einspanner. The Tropical Hibiscus was a great caffeine-free option with a light, citrusy flavor that was really refreshing. The Coconut Matcha Einspanner was the standout. The coconut water made it incredibly refreshing, and the matcha was smooth and light without being too earthy or overpowering. Everything worked well together, and I'd order it again without hesitation. The cafe itself has a clean, modern aesthetic featuring a pretty tree in the middle. They also have a photo booth inside that was fun, although the photo quality looked like it was printed on a receipt which could be a vibe. The music fit the atmosphere well and made the space feel relaxed without being too loud. Overall, it's a nice spot to grab a drink and spend some time with friends. Parking can be a hassle, but the drinks and atmosphere make it worth the trip. I'd definitely come back to work my way through more of the menu.

Service was friendly and staff were helpful when I asked about adding a matcha cream top to the matcha latte. I ordered my matcha less sweet just in case my drink would be too sweet. The drink wasn't sweet at all which I didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing. I wouldn't make any adjustments next time. The matcha was astringent, bitter, and umami. I did taste some slight graininess, but nothing too bad. I think they prepare the matcha as a paste then add it to the top of the milk. I've never seen other places prepare their drinks like this before! Overall, it was a solid drink for an decent price.
