My daughter and I wanted to explore Silver Lake this weekend, and we stopped by Roots & Rye. We had…read moresuch a great experience! The customer service was amazing, and the 2 young lady's who helped us were very kind and helpful. I wasn't sure what to get, and she recommended the Blue Magic smoothie. I wanted something fresh and fruity, so she suggested adding strawberries, and it was the perfect choice! I love that they offer unlimited toppings definitely a steal! My daughter ended up getting a bowl, which was perfectly presented my total came out to $21 before tip. Parking wasn't too difficult either since they have a parking lot, which was a huge plus. The ambiance was beautiful and made the whole experience feel so welcoming. Thank you, Roots & Rye, for making my daughter's experience so special! We'll definitely be back.

My go to is the Seoul bowl it's so good and perfectly marinated while still being health conscious 5/5. The newer tikka masala has been a fav lately- it's veggie based but the spices and flavor are on point, just as delicious as a non-vegan dish! I think with soy meat it could be even better, I'll see if that's an option next time, but this was 4.5/5. West coast shrimp side is really satisfying and savory. I rly should try more items here but it's hard to deviate from my favs haha. |[ s i p ]| Drinks are also decent but the star for me here is the food. I really look forward to more new food items to come. |[ n o t e s ]| Parking lot is small and kinda hit or miss but it's worth it. :) Ambiance- cute brunch spot while still health conscious.

Delightful and tasty hidden gem on Washington Blvd in Marina del Rey. There are several places in…read morethe area, but Variable stands apart with their flavorful and satisfying vegan menu. While I am not at all vegan, it can be a fantastic change of pace when trying a cuisine that is not at all my regular routine. Happily, Variable has tons of choices, and we loved what we got. I was drawn towards the 'N Seoul Bowl' (Korean spicy plant based pork, house marinated Kimchi, organic edamame, steamed organic spinach, carrot, steamed broccoli, onion , organic shiitake, topped with green onion and sesame seeds and side organic quinoa). So good, a bit spicy, and so many flavors on the plate it was impossible to not only love it, but I could not finish it, either. That goes from all their dishes. They are big, and in our experience, it came out piping hot soon after ordering it. My companion tried the 'Indian Tikka Masala' (homemade Indian curry, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes, cabbage, chickpea, micro green, Served with blend wild Jasmin rice and Indian Flat Bread). Tastes so fresh, hearty, with just enough of a kick to it. I look forward to trying some of their other dishes, too. The burger that the table near us ordered looked fantastic. I gotta think that everything here is pretty dang great.

She raved about them having so many wonderful options so I was very curious to try. DRINK There were so many great options I was overwhelmed, but luckily their workers were so happy to help in my selection. I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie. SERVICE Bree was so very helpful. I told her my goals and that I'd just done a workout and she gave me her recommendations...she also told me her favorite a suggest I add ginger to what I was thinking about. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment but also family friendly. There were some people there with their kids enjoying the place. Also this place is dog friendly. They even had an organic treat for my dog niece Wawa to enjoy!

Everyone is always so friendly here. They always seem to be upgrading the interior as well, and it's small but they do have some window seating along with a few outdoor tables. On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.

Super delicious and unique spot! I really enjoyed the persimmon milk as it had a super fresh and…read moresweet flavor. The pulp of the persimmon was amazing and my favorite part of the actual fruit so it was a great taste for me. The injeolmi mochi latte was fun as you use the cream to submerge the mochi and get a good, flavorful bite. The injelomi taste was strong and nutty but adding espresso was +$1. There is a parking lot in the back! The inside is nice and spacious with a few outlets here and there for people working. The service was good, nothing crazy :)

Pricing was slightly pricey since most drinks cost $7+ Ordered the Injeolmi Mochi Latte ($6.82) with less ice & sugar and oat milk (+$0.75). It consisted of a roasted soybean cream milk with a mochi skewer. I liked that it wasn't too sweet and the hint of roasted soybean. The mochi was amazing! It was so fresh and chewy. It's nice there's also the option to add half shot (+$0.50) or espresso (+$1.00). Got the Black Sesame Mochi Latte ($7.35) with less ice & sugar and oat milk (+$0.75). It consisted of black sesame cream milk with a mochi skewer. This was definitely my favorite! The black sesame tasted so delicious. It wasn't too sweet and it was so creamy and the black sesame tasted amazing! I could tell it was made from real black sesame by the roasted sesame flavor. The mochi was so fresh, chewy, and yummy! Make sure to give the drinks a good stir prior to drinking otherwise the cream top just stays on top! Overall, both drinks were good but my favorite was definitely the Black Sesame Mochi Latte, as well as the incredible mochi!

It's a black milk tea with soft mochi topping and a barley popping boba, which make for such a fun texture! I love anything mochi, so this drink was perfect! You order at one of the kiosks, and service is pretty fast. There's limited seating, but it feels more like a grab-and-go boba spot. There's also a parking lot attached to the plaza, which is convenient, although it seems like it can get pretty busy during peak hours.

Boba Upgraded! The Mochi Barley Burst Is an Absolute Must-Try…read more 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage has become one of my new favorite boba spots! This is a tea-forward spot that makes all ingredients and toppings fresh from scratch daily. Their most well-known unique topping is the barley popping boba. They use a real-chewy highland barley grain that gives off a nutty, earthy and milkdly sweet pop that makes for a unique texture. The fan-favorite drink is the Mochi Barley Burst which pairs a floral black milk tea with the popping barley and fresh handcrafted mochi. The tea does not have any artificial syrups and uses an organic milk with a bold tea base. The handcrafted mochi is super fun to have with the popping barley because it is pillowy and velvety. Make sure to mix it well together, so you can enjoy the whole drink for all its features. I like the ambiance of the shop. It's a smaller shop with some seating area. You order your drink at the self-service station. There's quite a few staff working to make the drinks, so we got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I adore 3CAT and I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!
