I got a Cola Cadence hydration drink and it was not good at all. I do not recommend it! I should have gotten a smoothie instead. I got the mango açaí and that was a 7/10. I didn't like that it was kind of watery. It did have great taste tho. I will be back soon to try more items and update my review! Giving it another try just because customer service was great!

She really liked it and ate it all. The açaí was a bit runny tho, and we got it as soon as they made it. We also got two smoothies, the Strand and Hang Ten. The were also kind of runny. Nevertheless, my favorite out of both was the Hang Ten, it had more flavor. It was midday and very busy on a warm day. We'll definitely be back to try other items!

I've been coming here for years and usually walk away craving the next time I can get another açai…read morebowl. I caved into the craving this morning and was so sad and disappointed. The açai wasn't as good as I remembered it and the pineapple I got added on to my bowl was all hard, sour, and overall flavorless. My fiancé also got attitude when asking about coxinha, which didn't help this experience (love their coxinha and always hope they're ready when we're there, he got there after 10am and was told they're not usually ready until 10am). Very sad I don't think I'll be craving them again, but maybe I'll try again in the future and hopefully this was a fluke off day.

Blends Up is one of those places where my wallet says, "Absolutely not," and the rest of me says,…read more"Shut up, wallet--we're getting the açaí bowl." Yes, it's pricey. With enough additions, I've walked out holding a $20 bowl of fruit, granola and assorted healthy things, which is objectively a little ridiculous. And yet...I keep going back, because it's genuinely fantastic. I usually order the medium bowl with two bases--some combination of açaí, coconut and cacao--then add granola, chia pudding, fresh fruit, bee pollen, coconut shreds, cacao nibs and almond butter on top. There are plenty of choices, everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the finished bowl is basically a magnificent frozen monument to convincing yourself you've made excellent life decisions. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough that I'll sometimes bring my laptop, put on a podcast, tackle the New York Times puzzles and slowly enjoy my absurdly expensive--but absolutely worthwhile--bowl. Could I eat a PowerBar or go somewhere cheaper? Sure. But Blends Up is local, the quality is excellent, and the experience always delivers. Five stars, even as my bank account quietly files a formal complaint.

The good: I got a super citrus smoothie and it was so much…read moremore delicious than I expected it to be. I didn't think smoothies could get very interesting or different tasting and I thought it would taste like Jamba Juice but it was so much better! They have coffees, teas, acai bowls, and lots of smoothie options. They had outside seating as well. The interior was spacious. Drinks were made in a timely manner. They had various size options. The bad: The parking is metered. The ambience is just okay. There was no specific aesthetic or vibe to the space. The interesting: They sell a lot of local crafts/goodies inside (necklaces, hats etc). They're dog friendly.

Straw & Spoon is one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a boba smoothie. I usually order the…read morepistachio boba smoothie, and it's always pretty good--creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. The inside could definitely use a little more attention, though. They have two cute swinging chairs, but the cushions are often dirty, and the shop can sometimes look a little messy. A lot of kids and teens hang out here, so I'm sure that contributes, but more frequent cleaning would make the space feel much more inviting. Overall, the drinks keep me coming back, but the seating area could use some improvement.

My Daughter and I…read morefinally dropped in and ordering and making substitutions was super easy on the screen when you walk in. There are lots of places to sit inside. It is wide open and everything is clean. They are quick and everything tastes good. Like one reason I don't get boba more often is I feel like they are usually too sweet for me but I really liked the levels with my Thai Iced tea drink! My daughter's mango drink was good and had chunks of fruit floating in it. Hers didn't get as much boba as we would have thought. But still tasty. We'll be back to try other things!

The Hive is one of my go-to spots in Manhattan Beach. The food is super clean and healthy, but…read morestill filling--tons of great high-protein, well-balanced options that don't feel like you're sacrificing taste. The location is perfect too. You get that laid-back beach vibe with a great view, and it's ideal whether you're grabbing a quick bite before heading back to the sand for volleyball or settling in for a chill remote work session. It really feels like a local staple--easy, consistent, and exactly what you want when you're trying to eat well but still enjoy the whole Manhattan Beach lifestyle.

I had lunch at The Hive because highly recommended the "healthy-tasty food". I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect, but my expectations were met! All the servers were warm and beyond the usual helpfulness. My friend saw an empty table they needed to be wiped so she asked a server for a towel to wipe it. He immediately said, "No, I'll do it." And he grabbed a towel and wiped in extra well with a smile. Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.

I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place for so long! I haven't tried the smoothies or…read morejuices here yet, but I can say without a doubt - Berry Bowl has the most reasonably priced açaí bowls for the portions they offer. High-quality, fresh ingredients and super quick customer service. I felt bad coming in for the first time because I came about half an hour before closing, they still welcomed me into the shop graciously and provided stellar & lightning fast customer service. I recommend their classic açaí or pitaya bases. They have so so many toppings, but I'd recommend: - the chia pudding - vanilla crunch granola - raw coconut shavings - strawberries or blueberries (whatever you can fit) - a heaping serving or two of gogi berries - a nice drizzle of honey

It's dan located in a corner of a shopping mall next to Chicken maison and Top tenders. I've also had the dubai chocolate acai bowl and its delicious!
