It's good. Is it the best smoothie I've ever had? No. but the hype is there. I wouldn't go back, but not because it was bad. It's just too far for me and I didn't dream about it. It's fine. Giving a 3 seemed a bit harsh because it wasn't bad. But 4 seemed also a little high. So 3.5 is really the sweet spot read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I have to warn anyone who might think of coming here. Be prepared to wait. Definitely not worth it. DO NOT ORDER ANY JUICE IF YOU CANT WAIT OVER AN HOUR!!! I went on a weekday during work/school hours and there was close to no one there. Absolutely zero line but there was a few people waiting before me for their drinks. I ordered one juice and a smoothie and waited over an hour. They move at the pace of snails and take extra long to make the juices which they do not warn you about. While they took forever to make the juice they never handed me my smoothie and let it melt. The top they overfill spilled all over me because my smoothie was completely melted. Overall do not recommend at all unless you want to waste $25 and nearly two hours of your time when there's no line. read more

I should've known better than to come on MDW. We arrived at the store around 2:25 and saw the sign that says cut off for orders was 2:30. However, the line kept moving and it seemed like the cash register was taking orders still. Once we were in the front we noticed the line paused and the lady at the register hopped on the blenders and started making drinks. The girl upfront who was by the register looked confused and wanted to order. Nothing was communicated to the folks in line. And everyone assumed maybe the cashier jumped on the blenders to help with getting the smoothies out and then would take orders again. Then people in the back of the line started asking if they were still taking orders when the other guy on the blenders kicked everyone who was waiting in line out. Literally yelled at all of us to leave. I get wanting to close early on MDW or having a cut off but the person at the register should've just told the girl who was about to order the line is cut off. Rather than just not saying anything at all. And then the store owner getting angry and kicking everyone out. 2 stars cause I like their smoothies. But man the customer service is not great here. They really don't care. read more

We waited about 1hr 30mins on a Sunday around 12pm, the line didn't seem that crazy long but it seems like there were only maybe 3 people working and probably every single customer was ordering smoothies so it took a while to accomodate. For me personally, I enjoyed the smooth texture, it seems like the base was mainly frozen bananas to achieve it. But, I think the creamier flavors paired better and were more enjoyable that way. I got what I was hoping to be more like a green smoothie but it came out creamier than I had hoped. Maybe some would like that but it wasn't for me. Love supporting family owned businesses, they do indeed make great smoothies and I'm sure their other menu items are great as well, however maybe just wait for the hype to die down, I don't think it's truly worth that long of a wait read more

Arrived around 8am and it wasn't busy at all. The gentleman who was working didn't even acknowledge my cousin and I. He didn't greet us when we walked in and he didn't even talk to us when we ordered. We ended up getting the Green Perfection and Berry Protein + added peanut butter. I'd rate the Green Perfection a 7/10 & she rated the Berry Protein a 6/10. The peanut butter was pretty much all you tasted. Service was non-existent but the drinks were good. I would never go back though. read more

They've earned the hype. The drinks are so good and with add ons and tip it was still cheaper than erewhon smoothies haha. I got the chocolate smoothie and I really like that they used cinnamon in it, it added a nice flavor! Largest con is going to be the wait time. I was lucky to go when there was no wait to order but it still took 25 minutes to get my drink. It makes sense when you watch how much work goes into each drink. I don't mind waiting, there are plenty of cute shops around to explore while you wait so it doesn't affect my rating. The employees were very kind and I applaud them for their non stop smoothie work. read more

I had seen this viral smoothie so my friends and I came to try it. It's a very small spot with the line wrapping around. It was kind of chaotic in the beginning first 45 mins because there were two lines- one to order and one to pick up. They only have 3 ppl working inside (kudos to them tho! They were completely working and doing their best). It took us like 2 hours to get these. Really tasty! Sweet. After sometime, the sweetness gets a bit overwhelming. But not so bad. Good experience. I'll get these again if no line. Otherwise it was too long of a wait. read more

I recently visited Main Squeeze in Santa Monica, and the smoothies were honestly amazing. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and high quality. You could tell they used good ingredients, and the smoothie was blended perfectly. Definitely one of the better smoothie spots I've tried in the area. The only downside was the wait time. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get our smoothies, which was way longer than expected. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and the place felt understaffed during the rush. I felt bad because everyone was working hard, but they clearly needed more help. Overall, the smoothies were great and worth trying. I just hope they improve the wait times because the drinks themselves were excellent. read more

I think this smoothie place is worth the hype for its $13 smoothies due to the huge size, quality of ingredients, and taste! Yes, the only con is the line and wait can be 40+ mins - 1 hr but I would come back if I had a chill day and wanted an organic, quality smoothie that made me feel great. I got their: Strawberry Fields (5/5): This is on their Sweet Organic Smoothies menu and it is a blend of strawberries, banana, vanilla, and dates. You can also choose between almond butter or peanut butter which I chose the latter. The smoothies are filled to the brim and they have the signature blob of the circle smoothie overflow that adds their signature touch. This smoothie has chunks of sweet, chewy dates and you can taste the creamy peanut butter mixed in with the strawberry banana date. Very naturally sweetened. I would come back to try their other smoothies if I had a chill day to explore on the west side. read more

The rumors are true! Their smoothies are better than Erewhon. When it gets really busy, they seem to take orders in batches and then make those orders before taking more orders. Yes the wait is loooong (be patient and keep the good vibes here pristine). No, these smoothies are not expensive, their price is 100% reasonable for the ingredients. These smoothies are so nutrient dense it is like having a meal. Real whole ingredients. We had birthday cake with peanut butter and strawberry fields. 10 out of 10, no notes. These guys were working, incredibly hard to get orders out. And so far, they are doing an amazing job! read more

Smoothies here are delicious! We tried the Green Monster and the Date Night Date. Both were really good, but I'd especially recommend the Date Night Date if you want something that isn't overly sweet but still has that nice hint of sweetness without tasting like a green juice. We went early on a weekday, so the wait wasn't bad. However, we've come on weekends before and waited 30+ minutes in line. For it being an early morning visit with fewer customers, the customer service could've been better. We were greeted, but there were no smiles, small talk, recommendations, or even a thank you when we received our order. That said, this is a great spot if you love thick smoothies. It is a bit pricier compared to other smoothie chains, but you do get your money's worth, the cups are overfilled and the ingredients taste fresh and real/no additives. read more

Stopped in for a smoothie and the line was pretty long. It looked like they were understaffed, so things were moving slowly. When my drink finally came out, it was clearly under-blended. You could see chunks in it, and it definitely wasn't going to go through the straw. I hadn't even left the counter yet. Before touching it, I politely asked if they could blend it again. The staff told me it was already blended and didn't offer to fix it. They were pretty rude about it. It was frustrating because it felt like an easy fix. A quick re-blend would have solved the issue. Instead I ended up leaving with a smoothie I couldn't really drink. Not the best experience. read more

Great smoothies with a caveat. It might take 45 min to an hour to get a smoothie!! The line can be deceiving. Once there were only two customers in front of me and it took ~40 minutes to get my smoothie. Another time the line was out of the door and it took me ~1 hour to get my drink. The late night date night has been my favorite so far. It's sweet and filling yet icy and refreshing. I don't usually even like dates since they can be overly sweet. The smoothies are the best texture. Thick yet smooth. There isn't much seating. There are only bar style tables inside around the perimeter. But it'll feel cramped since the place is packed with people either in line or waiting for their order. read more

This was good to try once, but I'm not sure that this smoothie is worth the cost and wait in the future. I got the tropical mix smoothie. It was good, but flavor-wise, nothing outstanding. I've had better smoothies that are more tart and flavorful. It is impressively thick, though, which I appreciate. It's also a decent size, but almost $13 is still more than I'd like to pay for a smoothie. I went in the middle of the day in a weekday so it wasn't busy, but it still took a really long time to get my smoothie. Inside has some seating, but most people seemed to just take their smoothies to-go. Metered street parking. read more

The tall guy with beard who works here has a huge attitude problem. People were waiting for an hour and suddenly they stopped taking order without saying anything. There were 3 workers and no one said anything. We all thought they were making the smoothies first before taking more orders so people were still waiting. After an hour, one person asked if they were taking more orders and suddenly the beard guy yelled and screamed that they were not taking anymore orders, BYE! And he turned up the music very loud. I think this guy has an anger management issue and should not work there. There's no way I'm coming back and that guy should be fired for treating customers this way. read more

I decided to come try Main Squeeze after seeing all the hype around it, and I have to say that I don't think it really lived up to it. On the bright side, there wasn't much of a line since I went on a Thursday early afternoon. Also, the smoothies really are packed to the brim. However, I think the Tropical Mix was a little too sweet and so thick it barely even got up the straw. Also, for $12.75 a smoothie, I expected to be more wowed. Sure, this is great if you want to get a smoothie that's cheaper than an Erewhon smoothie, but otherwise, I'd say there are plenty of other great smoothies and drink places around for a better price! read more

The line both times I made to the smoothie shop was over 30+ minutes. The first time was almost an hour Other than the wait time, the two smoothies: the green monster and strawberry field were great. I really like the green monster a little better because if the texture and how creamy it was. The strawberry filed can get too sweet might even be too sweet for someone. As I was watching the employees making each smoothie, they blend each order separately hence the line. I put really fruits, lots of bananas, with other goodies depend on your order. They really need to improve the wait time or hire more employees with more blender. Those people need a team of at least 5 people, not 3... for the amount of customer they get everyday. I might go back only if it gonna take me only 15 min max for a smoothie. read more

I'm addicted... and if you know anything about making things with love, patience, and intention... this smoothie explains it all. The consistency is thick, creamy, fresh, and honestly worth every second of the wait. Main Squeeze is family owned and operated, literally. It's only a few of them in there working nonstop, seven days a week, and there's almost always a line, especially after they went viral. But you can taste the care in everything. The milk is made from scratch, the ingredients are quality, and the smoothie is a solid 20/10. Respectfully, if you don't have patience, go somewhere else because this spot is special.

Do not come here if you have any allergies. The lady in the replies says the establishment explicitly states in their menu that they are not responsible for any allergies however I checked every single menu they had outside, including the blackboards and not a single menu mentioned the establishment is not allergy friendly. They will only let you know once you reach the register. When I informed the cashier about my allergy she was very rude and even pointed at the "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." As a barista myself, I would never treat a customer the way I was treated today. In fact, I wouldn't have been hired if I was so unfriendly.

Don't waste your time, NOT worth it! I took like an hour drive to get to the shop and the line looked small, but surprisingly, the workers were not very fast and were working at a very small pace. We were waiting more than 2-3 hours for a smoothie which shouldn't be the case if they had faster pace and more equipment to make more at a time. What really caught my eye was the fact that each worker was doing each smoothie one at a time while I could see the weary expressions everybody had while waiting 2-3 hours FOR A SMOOTHIE. When I got to the front of the line, I waited what seemed like another 30 minutes. I am very disappointed by the time management and also the ability to manage such a long line. read more

Main Squeeze was actually pretty good, and the prices really weren't bad for the size. They filled the smoothie all the way to the top too, with extra coming out the top too which was honestly awesome. I even took a picture of my stopwatch from the second I ordered to when I got my drink, and it ended up being exactly 35 minutes. (See photos attached) The place is a little cramped inside, but the smoothies are good enough that I didn't really mind! The reviews mentioning the workers looking tired is pretty valid, but they didn't give me a hard time-- so I don't think that's a problem. it's honestly a fun spot to order, walk around with your friends for a bit, and then come back to grab your drink. read more

NEGATIVE STARS!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME . WASN'T EVEN FLUFFY CREAMY OR TASTEFUL !!! It was a HUGE disappointment. As a business owner, I noticed many issues with how this business was being run. There seemed to be little effort to improve efficiency or respect customers' time. I drove an hour to get there and then waited 3hrs just to place an order. In total, nearly five hours of my day were spent for some smoothies , leaving me no time to do anything else. The service was extremely slow, and even customers ahead of me were waiting 40 minutes or more for their orders. The operation appeared unorganized, with only three workers handling a large volume of orders in a very small workspace. The containers used were too small, requiring constant refills, which slowed the process even more. There was no proper scoop available, and smoothies were being placed in the refrigerator for 20 mins so it can stay cold , adding additional delays. Overall, the experience was frustrating, poorly managed, and a complete waste of time. read more

5 stars for the smoothie product - we had the tropical mix and split it between the two of us. Delicious, fresh, super generous portion. 4 stars for the speed...service was friendly, it's just that there was one person making the smoothies and also taking orders so it took us 20 minutes to get our smoothie. Recommendation: 1. Place your order for the smoothie. 2. Walk a couple doors down to Ten Women and shop there among the beautiful artisan items where 100% of the proceeds of what you purchase go to the artist as it's a co-op model 3. Go back twenty minutes later to get your smoothie :) read more

The workers continue to work and make us wait 20 minutes before one of them yells at everyone that they're closed and not taking anymore orders. Ridiculous. I get that you're busy, but at least tell your customers who are waiting in line that you already took your last order or you're done taking orders.

The gorgeous turquoise mugs certainly make the coffee more appealing than it actually is. While our drinks were good, they weren't great. The cappucinos, lattes, chai and matchas were prepared well, but the quality of the ingredients didn't quite hit the mark. The gelatos particularly were not good and next time I would suggest ordering their drinks over the gelatos. The French toast donut we ordered was fresh, fluffy and perhaps the best of all our orders. Five stars for service. On a very busy holiday Monday, only two staff members were managing a long line of customers near the end of what I could only assume to be a very long and busy day. Despite appearing overwhelmed, they remained patient, professional and attentive..... and didn't make a single mistake with our orders. Their effort truly stood out and elevated the experience.

The inside was very clean, cute, and spacious. There is also an outside patio. No shortage of sitting options. We ended up ordering the super bowls- VIP Poke and Kebobs Mediterraneo. Both with white rice and greens. I honestly loved both of them equally. The quality of fish in the poke was outstanding and the chicken kebob was so tender and juicy. We also got the Pineapple Zingy Fizzy drink which was very refreshing on the warm day. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The only thing I want to add is that on the menu board had a key for items, one being a * indicates the item contain nuts. Some of the bowls listed cashew chipotle sauce, but there was no * next to the item name. It's a quick fix to avoid any accidents :)

My wife was craving Thai food, so she ordered the Thai dish, while I was stuck between the Peruvian Saltado and the Showtime Burger. I ended up going with the burger, and I'm glad I did. It was absolutely amazing -- flavorful, high quality, and perfectly put together. From the first bite, you could taste all the layers of flavor in what honestly felt like a masterpiece of a burger. Both dishes were very good, but the burger was definitely the winner for us. We also tried the Garage beer, which was super light and delightful, along with a latte. The latte was okay. We're big coffee people, so it didn't quite meet our expectations. It was served too hot, and the milk seemed overheated. The coffee itself tasted good, but it didn't feel carefully crafted. I enjoy latte art and that first sip from a freshly made uncapped latte, and that part was missing for me. That said, the food was so good that we're more than willing to overlook the coffee. Great vibes, superb service, and an overall fantastic experience. Highly, highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back with friends and family.

We assumed that that two smoothies and a toast would not take too long since no one else was there and we ordered before a small rush came in. It seemed that everyone else's smoothie orders were prioritized before our toast which was a surprise. The worker kept reassuring us that it would be ready in just a min, multiple times. Of course, we didn't doubt him and waited. We ended up waiting approx 25mins for a smoked salmon toast that looked hastily put together and looked like an afterthought. It was a disappointing experience for our time visiting the area. Although the smoothies and the food were great, the experience left me not wanting to visit again. I hope this experience doesn't happen to anyone else and I hope this business continues to grow! :)

DO NOT come here!! I didn't know ordering a smoothie meant signing up for a 2 hour hostage situation. By the time my drink finally arrived, I could've gone home, bought fruit, and blended it myself--three times. The staff moved at the speed of melting ice, and the vibe was like nobody cared that people were actually waiting. When the smoothie finally showed up, it wasn't even worth it. If you want a smoothie and don't mind aging a year in the process, this is the place for you. Otherwise, save yourself the pain and go literally anywhere else. If I could put 0 stars I would. Don't let instagram fool you. It's not an "underrated" hidden gem. Super hot in there, barely anywhere to sit, rude staff And I had to wait outside in line for 10 mins. they closed at 3 cuz of Labor Day but I finally got my smoothie at 4:45. People kept coming in and the COSTUMERS has to tell them to leave . Orders from staff. Pure torture. Asked for the bathroom key, threw it at me. Literally. Don't believe me? Ask for the key see what happens. For anyone who has been there, I'm so very sorry you had to go through that. Don't think I didn't try to ask for my money back. It wasn't worth it, they said to wait 10 mins. So I just waited. Thank you for reading this! read more

Absolutely AMAZING! I got the Late Night Date after it was recommended by one of the girls working. It was fantastic! The environment is much less hectic than one of the average smoothie and juice chains and the menu is far more unique. The staff is super well-informed on their menu and very sweet. For the freshness of the taste and for being one of the only juice bars I've been to that can assure you they only have the most natural and nutrient rich ingredients and supplements this little juice bar is high on my list and I will most definitely become a quick regular. Not to mention, every time I've been in there's a new cute girl there to take your order! Talk about an incentive! DEFINITELY recommend. read more

Aside from waiting a considerably long time for a drink that could have been served sooner if it wasn't for the person behind the counter, who, was more concerned with flirting with Miss yoga pants, this place might have gotten two stars. But it was apparent that they were more concerned with the yoga pants, who was behind me, that they neglected to follow my simple substitutions. Jamba juice gets it but hey, you are organic. You can afford to have that certain body odor because you use Tom's of Maine deodorant, but I don't think asking for personal hygiene to be a priority of anyone in the service industry to be unreasonable (dirty finger nails) . Pretentious, pathetic, patchouli. read more

If I could describe my dream juice shop, it would be Main Squeeze!! The cold pressed juices are incomparable to the others I've had, along with the unique smoothies and on the spot juices. I have tried acai bowls all over the world and this place is BY FAR my favorite! The girls are so sweet and have the answer to EVERY question you may possibly have. They do not lie about being organic and for that, I am forever grateful. I only wish that they personally grew their own wheatgrass. It would add such a farm to table vibe read more

I recently stopped by Main Squeeze and had to leave a review. I ordered the berry smoothie, and it was honestly one of the best I've had. SUPER fresh, perfectly blended, and full of flavor without being overly sweet. The wait was a bit long. That said, once I got my drink, it absolutely made up for it. You can tell they take their time to make things right. The employees are super chill and helpful! If you're not in a rush, it's definitely worth the stop. I'll be coming back to try more. read more
