The place is small but homey. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. They have the freshest fruit and vegetables for the extensive menu of smoothies, protein shakes, and bowls. The flavors are all tropical perfect after a run

I've been coming here at least once a week for the past 4 years. Everything is delicious and super fresh. If you don't want what's on the menu Jonathan will customize any smoothie, drink or bowl to your taste. Service is always with a smile and a healthy dose of positive vibes.

Their smoothies are soo good and so fresh!! It's not those smoothies that are made with juice concentrates, they actually use fresh fruits! All of their fruits are on display :) the King Kong is a must try. Their service is also great and they are very nice.

If you're ever in the area or you're a local to van nuys. Highly Recommend this Gem! You get authentic,raw, natural juices/smoothies/protein shakes. If you're looking to detox naturally without pills/tea. This is your best bet! Because not only are you detoxing with these juices you're also drinking natural herbs/ veggies/fruit that contain nutrients/vitamins that you can't get from a pill or a tea. I discover this place because I'm still on the path of weight loss & healthy Whole Foods ingredients/habits. This is a great place to start your journey. My partner and I also started doing this to not be a high risk for diabetes. This is a Spanish friendly place as well. You can also ask questions or concern of what your health problems are and they will recommend a juice that can help your case. Great reasonably prices for the quality of juice you're getting.overall 10/10 Great customer service , Spanish/English friendly , healthy/organic , you feel welcomed at this shop. Definitely a mom/pop shop definitely a lot of care/ effort read more

I walked into La Bona Energia Raw Juice Bar without a clue of what I really wanted, just a strong craving for a good licuado. What I got was far beyond what I expected. Jonathan and Patricia, the husband-and-wife duo running the place, provided exceptional service from the moment I walked in. Jonathan asked me thoughtful questions about my fruit preferences and what I was in the mood for. The juice he crafted for me wasn't just good, it was honestly one of the best juices I've ever had. (Sorry, Mom! ) As I sat and enjoyed my drink, Jonathan checked in on my health goals and took the time to explain that they actually offer plans specifically tailored to help with those goals. It wasn't just talk either, I've been taking my juices from them consistently for a week now, and I can already feel the difference in my energy, digestion, and overall mood. Jonathan and Patricia are incredibly knowledgeable about greens, fruits, and natural supplements. Their passion for helping people live healthier lives shows in everything they do, from their ingredients to their interactions. They're not just selling juice; they're building a wellness community. If you're even remotely considering stepping up your health game or just want the best damn juice you've ever tasted, go see them. I couldn't recommend them more. read more

This place is a real treat hidden away in Sherman Oaks. No frills, no fuss, this family owned business serves the freshest smoothies and açaí bowls! I was greeted by the lady in the picture and as soon as I ordered, she got to making everything for me, on the spot. I ordered a Mamma Mia açaí bowl and a The Best smoothie. She made everything in front of me so I knew it was fresh. All of her fruits looked so good, nothing rotten. The bowls and smoothies tasted as organic as possible. There's no added sugar (except for a drizzle of honey on the açaí bowl). This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you like things to be sweet but I thought it was really refreshing! The prices were fair and overall it was a good experience! :) read more

I came here with my girlfriends for something refreshing to fight this summer heat. The açaí bowls are so yummy- and I'm not a fan of açaí. I added mango, strawberries, bananas, all the goodies. My friend has the smoothie and it was incredible! This is definitely my new go to place in Van Nuys. It beats the generic Jamba Juice and Robeks. I highly recommend. Plenty of street parking and the customer service was great! read more

Recently been looking into juices due to trying to add more fruits and veggies in my diet after realizing that I hardly get any nutrients throughout my day. I have been feeling sluggish and foggy minded and physically felt that my body was lacking certain nutrients so one day in between work appointments I looked for a juice bar nearby and saw this little hole in the wall nearby. I was very excited because as soon as you walk in you see all the colorful fruits and veggies and there is a large variety of different types of pressed juices, smoothies, and health shots! My eyes were looking all over the place because they even have great juices for cleanses, detox, hangover cures, etc! As soon as I saw all these I was like yup I found my juice spot! The lovely woman saw me looking around and recommended me a house juice and showed me all the fruits and veggies that go into it and I was like yup that is just what I need! The juice was delicious, I felt more energetic that day and had felt my body thanking me for the nutrients I gave it. The parking here is done with meters. The trip is usually very quick so you could get away without putting quarters in the meters which is what I have done. Such a beautiful place and there is such comfort in this shop. A great hidden gem! 100/10 recommended! read more

History

Established in 2016.

Inspired by the documentary "Fat, sick and nearly dead", the owner of this location started drinking fresh juices to fight lupus. A month later, her symptoms were visibly reduced. Full of energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition, the owner decided to open up a business to reflect the idea of appreciating life through our nutrition. That's when the Bona Energia was born.

Meet the Business Owner: Yessica F.

My inspiration was born when I'm diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called lupus. one month later I'm started drinking fresh juices and my symptoms were visibly reduced.With full energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition.

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!

Don't get me started with Tata's vinagrettes And the protein smoothies are not too sweet which is fantastic to keep from crashing. The acai bowls are still decently portioned too. My order is: -When im low energy: Maca fuel Protein shake -feeling fruity: Berry Strong Protein shake sub Peanut Butter -feeling a sick: OG Shots -acai: House Bowl, add on Goji Berries! No Honey. Pros: -Free parking in the back -Affordable salads and sandwiches -Fast and friendly service! - can sit outside -Dogs are treated like kings and queens here Cons: -sometimes rush hour on a hot day can be longer wait times. So just call 15-30 minutes ahead and they will hold your cold drink in the fridge in freezer! -If you park at a meter without paying you will get ticketed! So just save the stress and park in the back of the shop!

I'm particularly picky when it comes to coffee shops - I love finding small cafes that either roasts their own beans or makes their own syrups as they usually tends to taste a lot better! We ordered two matchas and two banana bread lattes (1/2 sweet) which weren't overly sweet and tastes amazing! The matcha was also a great color and hand-whisked. Only one person was working the front, which I don't mind waiting, and all props to them! From one barista to another, this cafe is amazing and I definitely recommend stopping by!

Twinty Cafe

On a Saturday late afternoon, wandered the neighborhood searching for a matcha smoothie shop and a…read morepastry snack possibly. Twinty was open and located next to the Rachel and Rose bridal shop, where I purchased my summertime wedding dress, last year. They had exactly what I was searching for and a cozy, and very thoughtful neighborhood brunch spot. The service was super amicable and it's easily accessible, a short walk away. Also, since I started my micro-dose GlP1 journey to shed 15lbs. The tummy is super sensitive to high sugar, saturated fats, and unhealthy foodies. And Twinty has a menu that is both gentle and healthy. I appreciate that, esp bc foodies have become a more complex and specific palate lately, Will be back for another Matcha Smoothie, possibly today to start my day right. Thanks guys.

There's indoor and outdoor seating options. I was greated by an employee who thought I needed help with directions because Ineas standing outside alone. "I'm just waiting for a friend." I replied. My friend arrived and we entered Twinty Cafe. There were customers deep into their typing on their laptops and an earlies 20's couple into share loving glances at one another. The interior was very clean with exposed brick and lots of earth tones. Ordering our food and drinks we saw that the work area was clean and organized. Our server was helpful enough to not put chilli flakes on my friend's avocado toast. We ordered our food & drinks and got a number to take to our table. We ate outside and had a pleasant time. Great place to people watch.

Not sure if I'll be returning which kind of sucks because I love supporting small businesses and they we're legit last time and all the times I came before. But if I am going to spend $25 for a smoothie and toast, I'd rather go some place else and get better service and more avocado.

It's literally attached to a giant factory. I don't like normal Western Bagels, but I love this place!! The pro move is to ask "what just came out?" And they will literally tell you what is cooling on the rack from the giant bagel oven. Get whatever THAT bagel is! It will be the freshest, toastiest, most perfect thing. Then, get whatever bagel you usually get because those are also really good at this location. They do breakfast sandwiches now. I got a plane bagel (because those had just come out) with hash brown, cheddar, egg, and ham. Phenomenal. I also got an egg everything bagel toasted. So good you don't even need cream cheese. To end this carb extravaganza - I got cinnamon bagel chips. Probably the best sweet bagel chips I have ever had in my entire life. This place is legendary and open 24 hours a day!

I like this little juice / smoothie / salad place and I'm really happy that it's here in Van Nuys! Fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes, salads and frozen treats are a healthy alternative to fast-food in the area. I wish they would include fresh vegetable soups as well. Note to owner: Please do this! Freshly made veggie soups would be fantastic. My only criticism is that they have used overly ripe / already turned fruit / veggies on the salads or in a juice mix on a couple / few occasions (the radishes were brown, rotten and mushy, tomatoes were way over-ripe and mushy-kind of thing) which made the juice (or salad) pretty much inedible. I get the impression that the staff doesn't want to say that they are out of a particular ingredient so they will go ahead and use old veggies / fruit but I would much rather hear that they are temporarily OUT vs. handing over something that tastes bad / can't be consumed. That's not a regular-thing though. Really fabulous and healthy, fresh-pressed carrot / apple / beet juice with lemon is SO GOOD (or any of the seemingly infinite combinations available). read more

This is a family owned business with a big smile and great attitude. Their prices are extremely low for the portion size. Can customize any order to your liking. They sell deli style sandwiches which are freshly made. The parfaits are healthy yet filling with a crunch that's addictive. They also have huge covered chocolate strawberries which are also delicious. Grab and go with a freshly made salad. And don't forget to grab a smoothie, freshly made juice, or an acai bowl to create a healthy meal for these hot summer days. read more

I love this place! I drive for Lyft as a par- time and given that I live in NoHo I'm around the area a lot. Whenever I feel hungry or I crave something cold I go to La Bona Energia for a fruit smothie, something that feels me up and is specially refreshing in those hot days in the valley. They have a good selection of things to choose from, but the smoothies are the best! Buenísimo, gracias La Bona Energia! read more

I have been to this juice spot a couple times now. Jonathan goes above and beyond to understand what it is you need. Just two weeks ago, I had a horrible stomach ache and he recommended a beet based juice that helped me heal. No artificial sugars are added it's simply just a blend of the right fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend this place, you won't regret it. Worth every penny! read more
