I felt like I was on the verge of being under the weather, so I knew I needed fluids immediately! Fresh ones! Natural Hour is on the edge of a small shopping center. There's ample parking available, at least when I went on a weekday afternoon, and there are also outdoor tables and seats with umbrellas to enjoy your juice and snackies! I was delighted to see their wide selection of menu items. I asked for a recommendation and I went with the Gracious Greens. It was fresh, no ice added (yes!) - just freshly pressed juice from fruit and vegetables. Exactly what I needed! I went for the 24oz and it was $10.99. A $1 difference between that and the 16oz. I went for the largest! I also appreciated the brightness in the shop and how warm and inviting the shop was too. I'll definitely be back to try other items on their menu. Fast and friendly service!

I had questions about the parking lot since it seemed territorial with neighboring businesses having signs posted for only their customers. I was fortunate to find the only vacant spot that didn't seem to have one of those reserved signs, but I was still nervous since my spot was in between two reserved spots. All that said, the gal behind the counter helped put my mind at ease with where I parked. I ordered the Crunchy Taco Salad made with jackfruit, butter lettuce, black beans, red onion, guacamole, and tomato. It was topped with a tasty vegan dill ranch dressing, and tortilla clips. This was delicious! However, I was expecting the portion to be larger due to the $18 price tag. I get it though...quality ingredients, staff wages, and probably a high rent in this strip mall on Ventura likely justifies the cost. That said, this yummy salad was actually quite filling! https://yelp.to/AC6CzGawRJ The atmosphere is clean, bright, minimal tables/chairs which was just enough for the amount of customers there at the time. Though I'd likely not spend $18 on a small salad again, I didn't regret it either. I was hungry and had a 2-hr commute in traffic ahead of me. The Harvest Bar was a peaceful stop that prevented me from feeling hangry on the road.

Thankfully, on a weekday, it was pretty easy! When I arrived, it was pretty busy with other customers also having the same idea as me, trying to get an acai bowl or smoothie to cool down from the heat. Despite how busy they were, my smoothie was made promptly. The service was also very friendly. I got the Ubatuba Smoothie with almond butter added in. It was very fruity and tasted tropical with the nuttiness of the almond butter coming through. It also added a nice richness and denseness to the drink and filled me up so I didn't have a need for dinner! The drink was very smooth and well blended. It was refreshing and cooling and gave me the energy I needed to get me through the rest of the day! The ambiance was nice and there were tables available inside and outside. The seating wasn't the most comfortable, but it was good for a quick relaxing moment to indulge in a drink and escape the heat! I will definitely be back to try more of their smoothies!

I Love U Brunch is one of those places that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. It's a smaller spot, but that only adds to its charm. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal -- whether you're catching up with friends or just taking a quiet moment for yourself. The food was genuinely amazing. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they put thought into what they serve, and it shows in the taste. There wasn't a single bite that felt like an afterthought. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without ever feeling overbearing. They kept things moving smoothly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. All in all, it's the kind of place you remember -- not just for the food, but for the full experience. Great energy, great people, and great brunch. I'll definitely be back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a spot that gets all the little things right. read more

We arrived, checked in, and waited our turn while carrying a baby. Then another group that arrived after us was seated first. I personally heard them say they did not have a reservation. When I questioned the young employee about why they were seated ahead of us, she told me they did have a reservation. That is completely unacceptable. Being skipped is already frustrating, but being given an explanation that directly contradicts what I personally heard makes the situation even worse. Customers should not be treated as if they are stupid or expected to simply accept whatever excuse they are given. If this restaurant has a waiting list, then respect it. If certain customers are going to receive preferential treatment, then at least be honest about it. There is absolutely no reason for a loyal customer, especially one waiting with a baby, to be treated this way. I have recommended this restaurant to many people in the past, but I will no longer be doing that after today. A business can have good food, but dishonest and unfair customer service can completely ruin the experience. Management should take this seriously. You do not build customer loyalty by allowing staff to skip people, give preferential treatment, and then provide questionable explanations when customers speak up. This was disrespectful, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing.

I was craving chicken so I had orderd the lunch Pollo burrito. My burrito was just not very flavorful. It's just chicken and rice, and then they added a tiny amount of onion and cilantro. When I got home I added cheese but it wasn't enough, i used up the tiny red and green sauces they gave me in just 2 bites, so I added allot of tapatio. Overall I was not impressed by the Pollo burrito unfortunately. For $12 my burrito also wasn't very big, and it totally fell apart when I was trying to add the cheese and tapatio. After reading the reviews again I'm thinking Pollo isn't so much their specialty as would be carne asada. Next time I'll make sure to try the carne asada instead. The rating I've given reflects the lovely staff and the nice set up with speedy service.

Salsa was a little too spicy for my liking. Everything was seasoned well. Everyone was very nice! But I definitely had to use my high school Spanish.
