BLUF: Came here for a quick takeaway lunch. Would come again. Food (5/5): We got the California Love & The Chronic. Both delicious! Both were moist and full of flavor. The wraps come on a bed of kale and some grapes(?). They're SOUR if you eat them alone, but all together, DELICIOUS. Service (5/5): Very fast service. Limited interaction. Most people were picking up online orders. Ambiance (5/5): Window seats are available for dine-in, but it's like 6 barstools. This is definitely a grab-and-go/order online place. There's standing room to wait. Very easy and simple ordering. It's close to a lot of stores and other places to eat, so it's a perfect lunch-break place! read more

Went to left coast juice on a Saturday, the restaurant was not very busy at the time. I stood at the register for about 5 or more minutes without being greeted and around 12 minutes for them to take my order, although the girls would be waiting for something and on their phone. I ordered the hermosa avocado toast which was very good. Overall, the menu was interesting but very expensive, I would not recommend from my personal experience. read more

I come here very often for açaí bowls and smoothies, both are excellent. The outdoor patio area is quite nice and great for a summer lunch as well. The staff is nice and easy to talk to for any menu questions as well. My only real qualm with the place is the prices but it's hard to argue when it's some of the best convenient healthy food I've found in the city. read more

Such a cute spot! Super yummy drinks! We got the Malibu maple in both hot and cold and YUMMM staff was super kind. Menu seemed huge with lots of options so everyone in your group will find something they like!:) read more

This is such a nice and healthy option. I really enjoyed it. I've door dashed it twice and it was great. The salad that's got some tortillas and stuff in it is so good. It's called "Mission". It tasted great. It's probably not as healthy as it could be, but the taste is great. I had the squash soup which was also good. The other salad I had also was quite good. Idk what the place is like in person, but it's definitely on my delivery rotation. In that first order, I had gotten the iced latte and that was decent as well. The second time I got that Mission salad, it was kind of soggy and didn't quite hold up like it had the first time. I think they changed the packaging and maybe that had something to do with it. I'm not sure. This would have been a 5 star review if not for that 2nd order issue. read more

The food and service itself gets 5 stars, but I just unfortunately have to give a 4 star review because of how expensive this place is. Not that I don't think it's worth it - but the food is so good I wish I could be a regular, and with prices like $10 for a bottle of fresh juice (which I believe was fresh, but also came in a pre-packed bottle) and $14 for a chicken wrap... just feels a little much for the portion size. But hey, the quality was there. I'll go back when I can afford it because I'm still dreaming of the Harvest Moon juice... it was one of the most refreshing things I've ever had and perfectly naturally sweet. They have nice and spacious options for both outdoor and indoor seating, I enjoyed sitting on their patio while I ate! read more

Their salads are awesome. Also like that they have enabled the full range of modifications to menu items on delivery apps. Their smoothies, not so awesome. I ordered a smoothie that had banana in it and it was so obvious that they'd used a badly overripe banana or five. The taste was overpowering. I was gagging all the way to the trash bin. A little more attention to the quality of ingredients would be helpful. But overall, good food (if not beverages). read more

Shoot - we wanted to like this cafe but it just did not hit on this Saturday morning. We had oatmeal that was lukewarm and tasted like instant (fruit on top was good though!), avocado toast that seemed like they just took store-bought guacamole and smeared it on top, and the breakfast tostadas had too much turmeric. Drinks -- coffee, macha and a hot chocolate were all good. Our orders came out quickly, which could not be said for the customer at the table next to ours. They arrived before we did, had to ask where their order -- 1 item -- was 3 times (was it forgotten?) and it was finally brought out after we had finished and we were walking out the door. And our two tables were the only occupied in the whole place so it couldn't have been a bandwidth issue. Anyhoo - maybe just stop for a beverage to go. read more

Consistently good food but the to go lids do not stay on at all!! Please update your packaging!!

Unfortunately the worst smoothie I've ever had. And their menu for them doesn't even really make sense. Their other food items looked good but ‍ sorry! read more

Would you please open one in the Gold Coast or north loop?! The food here is so good!! I've never been the restaurant I just keep ordering from door dash and would love to have one in my neighborhood so I could walk to it!! It's so hard to find healthy restaurants down here!! read more

The food here at Left Coast is both healthy and delicious! I love the smoothies and açaí bowl. I've also tried their wraps and grain bowls and always feel great after eating! The Baja Sol Tostadas was a burst of yummy savory flavors on a crunchy tostada. I ordered these to-go and I appreciate the attention to detail in the packaging of the 2 tostadas, which were placed in 2 separate boxes. The tostadas still had a crunch when I got home and looked scrumptious too. The staff are always friendly and it is a great patio to hang out and chat with friends in the summer! read more

If it's not left coast I don't want to be right My sister, mom, & I stumbled upon her while in Lincoln park looking for wedding dresses. Happy to say that we were satisfied after being hungry trying on clothes! We got two salads, first one is the Santa Monica Shred, next one is the mission, and the wrap was California Love afterwards we all got different varieties of coffee but they were not pictured. It was all quite delicious! The service was great and look how cute the inside is!! read more

Price is good considering they put a lot of ingredients in the dishes! I ordered the chronic wrap and roasted tomato soup -- love the hard boiled eggs and steaks in the wrap, and how creamy the soup is! Service is good - you order at the counter and they give you a number stand for them to bring the food to your table. Interior is simple and bright. Atmosphere is friendly and kind of loud. Perfect for lunch! read more

Grabbed the Just Beet It smoothie - I appreciate that the smoothie included a lot of ingredients, but I am still TBD if it's worth the price... I would love to come back to try some food options, and it seems like a great alternative to a coffee shop - the dining area is an open, spacious area to get work done. As for service, you order from the counter and they will bring it to your table. read more

Ordered the Cadillac Curry Bowl with Tofu. This was such a great bowl! A ton of flavor, not spicy, a good amount of green beans which is what I love. Love the green onions and sweet potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly! Tofu add was perfect. read more

Good, and nice service, but $11+ for a smoothie.....? Suck my balls. That's ridiculous.

Got the D O Double G delivered through Fooda at my work. The wrap was great. Really flavorful and tangy. The ingredients tasted extremely fresh and of high quality. I was happy it came with a small side of kale as the wrap was a bit on the small size. My only gripe was the high price - $15 for essentially just a wrap with no chips etc. included. While I understand high quality ingredients come at a price these days, this is definitely a bit less bang for your buck in terms of portion for price. read more

Tried the Acai bowl which was more of a smoothie with toppings. Could be enhanced by putting in the freezer for 30 minutes before. Great fresh fruit and flavor, just a little too room temperature for my liking. Great outdoor seating here though. read more

I was super impressed by the wide variety of healthy, tasty options at Left Coast. The Arcadian was one of the best salads I've had in a while. It was super clean and our food came out quickly. We ate on the patio and I loved having that as an option in this gorgeous weather. While my salad was really good, it wasn't very big considering the cost. It also didn't have much substance to it, so I was hungry again in a few hours. It felt like more of a side salad instead of an entree salad. I would definitely visit again. I look forward to trying out their other options! read more

We stopped in here for a quick breakfast before heading downtown. We got the Hot Date and the Morning Buzz smoothies. These are not your typical fruity smoothies.

Just a quick update that this is still one of the best smoothies you're ever going to have. Everything is so well balanced, tastewise it's more on the level of a great cocktail than just a smoothie. Perfect for this "heatwave" in February! read more

Left Coast Food + Juice is ok. I've tried half of the menu, but so far I've found two items I really like. ..the California Love wrap and Acai bowl. The wrap is filled with grilled chicken breast, black beans, brown rice, romaine, red onion, roasted tomato salsa & avocado. I usually add a little hot sauce or Sriracha to bring it all together. It's a really satisfying wrap that tastes too good to be healthy, lol. The Acai bowl is a little too sweet, but a nice version of this popular breakfast dish. Many reviews complain about their price point. Your bill will add up quickly especially if you add ingredients. Lunch can easily run North of $25 depending on what you order. I understand fresh healthy food can be pricey and I don't mind. ..but it must be delicious. Left Coast is ok, but not quite good enough to justify these prices and they don't offer enough consistently good menu items. read more

Very underwhelming. Smoothies are overpriced. Açaí shows up on website menu. But not on in-person menu. Last time I went, I ordered the chronic. Was hyped by the description. But actual product was enormously disappointing. Best part of the dish was the garnish underneath. Much better options in the area. Skip this one. read more

Cute breakfast spot. I tried the morning buzz smoothie which was SOOO so good, and the avocado toast which was just ok (the bread was rock solid and the avocado was too smooth). My friend tried the oatmeal and said it was awesome. The place itself was nice to sit down and hang out at, but the music selection was a bit odd and I wasn't sure why they used plastic plates and forks. Seems wasteful! read more

Left Coast is just a few blocks from my place so super convenient, but I'd go out of my way to get their açaí bowl. It is by far the best one that I've had since I moved here from California. The hot chocolate is delicious and I have enjoyed some of the wraps as well. Friendly staff and plenty of space to dine in with good vibes. read more

Having spent the weekend celebrating a wedding, Monday morning seemed like a great day to eat some solid whole foods and detox a bit. Finding this place, we grabbed the dog and went to try it out. The location is perfect for sitting outdoors with the dog but has a decent amount of space inside as well. The food was VERY fresh and delicious. I immediately felt all of the vitamins and minerals coursing through me. Excellent entrees and powerful yet delicious smoothies. This is a great place to have "make you feel better/actual comfort food". Highly recommended! read more

Food - 5 stars. Everything tastes so fresh and absolutely delicious. I didn't know açaí berry bowl could taste like that! Service - 3 stars. A bunch of kiddos that get the work done but also like to play loud music and chat with each other. There was never a delay in addressing me, though. So they do get the job done! Ambiance - 2 stars. Beautiful communal seating though not that comfortable. When I visited on a Friday night, most of the patrons were moms with kids that obviously aren't used to seeing an Asian person eating an açaí bowl in Lakeview, I guess? The worse thing though....was the bathroom. I think they forgot to renovate it along with the rest of the place. And also forgot to service it. Next time I'm going to stick with ordering take out. read more

Got a smoothie and it was great, I liked that I was able to build my own. The service was fairly quick and the ambiance was calm. Would definitely go back and try more of their menu. read more

I only picked up a smoothie but the smoothie was pretty good. I got the pina cocada. The service was decent - didn't rly interact much but they were nice. Ambiance was fresh/clean. Decent amount of space to do work and hang out. It's pricey but expect that with a healthy smoothie place like this one. read more

This was my second time trying Left Coast. Both times disappointed. The avocado toast was actually offensive this time. Looks and tastes exactly like a premade, store bought guacamole. The only semi redeeming thing was the kale and farro salad but still way overpriced. read more

Met a friend for a lunch. Easy to get to and park!!! So many options that are good AND good for me. The Farro salad was really tasty. read more

California vibes at its finest. I recently visited Left Coast Food + Juice with a few friends. I hadn't heard of this place before but we wanted to go to a place that was a little healthier so I thought we'd give this place a shot. When you first arrive to the restaurant you will get the vibe that you're in the West Coast. The structure of the building is much different from all the places surrounding it. The inside is so airy and I can imagine with place being so peaceful in the summertime. The inside is spacious and has a clean refreshing look. The menu for Left Coast Food + Juice is targeted at people that want to eat a little healthier. The prices are a little on the higher end of things but that is what I expect for a health based restuarant. I really like that they have a full bar just in case you want to enjoy a cocktail with your meal. The restaurant has a variety of smoothies, wraps, salads, etc. I ended up settling on one of the wraps because it had steak and looked packed with protein. The food came rather quickly which was a perk because I was starving. The wrap was decent but nothing to phone home about. The wrap came with a side of what I think was kale and some type of bean. It was flavorless, cold, and wet. I didn't finish it but my fiancé ate the rest for me. read more

It was pricey for a quick stop, so I couldn't go there every day, but they do serve up a pretty quality product...and with a smile, I might add. Located in my old hood, this used to be where Muskies was located. I think they built Left Coast from the ground up, or at last they completely reconfigured it. Muskies used to be your late night burger stop with just counter stools, but the neighborhood has changed and there is an obvious demand for healthy juice, in addition to tables for lap tops and studying. From cold pressed juices and smoothies to healthy soups and wraps, they have an extensive menu with kid options as well. My hubby and I stopped by to meet up with one of his friends who lives in the area. Hubby ordered up the Kale Mary smoothie. I had a sip, and it was really quite amazing. Take note, there is maca powder in there. Hint: maca powder is a peruvian root and supposed to improve your stamina (in many ways). He reported that it made him feel a bit anxious. I ordered the squash soup. I LOVE squash soup. It was so fresh, and the temperature was perfect. The soups are seasonal, and word on the street says they serve a great lentil soup from time to time. We also tried their banana bread. It was so yummy and gone before I could take a pic. The yogurt parfait was a miss. It was really more of a bite of yogurt with toppings. Just not a great value. The atmosphere was inviting and even had a little area for kids...though I didn't really detect much of a kid crowd. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. read more
