This spot is the best smoothie spot in LA. I got the late night date and it's so fresh and tasty. read more

Main Squeeze - Late Night Date Night - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Why does it take soooo long. They only have 3 blenders and 3 people working. With a place that has this many customers I think they could really improve. I've been waiting for 45 min and I still don't have my smoothie. read more

Wow If you have hours to spare to wait for someone to take your order then hours to spare for your smoothie to be made this is the place. Never Again!!! read more

Very strange system where they make you wait in line for an hour before they take your order while you watch them make their existing tickets, and then you still have to wait another hour to get your smoothie. They tell you it will be less time than it will be. In addition, people are antsy and standing on top of each other trying to ask questions to the staff who are all busy and unavailable. Unpleasant experience overall and just not worth it. read more

The smoothies very yummy. However not worth waiting 40-60 minutes in a room w no ac or in the sun.

So today my kid bought me a smoothie from here as it was the first time coming here. I had her order me a Pineapple express. Well needless to say I was curious as to where the heck the pineapple was in it. Cause by the over powering taste of the ginger and mint it wasn't good. So many little chunks of ginger verse chunks of pineapple. Which I would of preferred pineapple hence the name of the drink. This drink was made on 1/22/26 at around 115p ish. Should of called it GINGER EXPRESS not PINEAPPLE EXPRESS... Ranking wise I'd give it a 1 at best read more

It's dirty inside and the wait is just too long.. it would've been nice if they gave us a heads up. Also, the staff didn't ask for my name and just stared at me. I gave a tip but honestly I regret it and I will not be coming back lmao read more

Just stopped by today after excitedly waiting ALL MONTH to finally try a smoothie from here. Not from the area and after seeing video after video on tiktok its been so exciting. Arrive and theres two employees. One beautiful woman and a man in a beanie. He was incredibly rude and so disrespectful. We wanted to make some content for TikTok and was going to just record the interior and smoothies. He turned around and snapped at my friend and said "CAN YOU NOT RECORD ME" and gave her the most meanest look before turning around. We checked her footage and not a single video included him. Whats to expect? Hundreds are posting and you work for a business thats finally getting great exposure and youre upset about more videos? Again if you dont like your job the doors open. Stop ruining the experience for others because youre too self absorbed. This employee definitely needs to be checked and his behavior has to change. He was rude the moment we walked in too. He gave us the same mean glare up and down and didn't say a thing. Kudos to his awesome beautiful coworker she was so sweet and made up for his nasty and bad behavior. Shes the best. read more

Main Squeeze - Summertime Greens! Yum!! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

This place has the worst service in the world. The employees didn't take any orders for a solid 20 minutes straight and avoided eye contact with customers. They inflate their own line when their smoothies are completely mid. The store is also EXTREMELY cramped and you're practically cheek to cheek. read more

Waited an hour for this smoothie, people blocking the walkway, only 2 employees making the long line pass slower, didn't taste fresh, honestly a waste of time and money. The presentation of these smoothies is nice though. read more

Main Squeeze - The Green Monster - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Really disappointing experience at Main Squeeze in Santa Monica. We waited over an hour for a smoothie, even though we came at an off hour. The line was insane and the setup felt incredibly inefficient -- only one person making smoothies, one cleaning, and one taking orders. On top of that, it was uncomfortably hot inside the store while everyone was packed in waiting. The smoothies may be good, but the wait and lack of organization made it not worth it. read more

Not going to lie this place is absolutely ridiculous. The line was over an hour and a half and I took my daughter there. The drink tastes exactly like the Jamba Juice a few blocks away. read more

just a really good smoothie for a great price. service was a little slow, but the smoothie was worth the wait. i got the strawberry fields smoothie read more

This place is a masterclass in operational incompetence. It is genuinely insulting that a business this profitable refuses to staff more than a skeleton crew (2/3 people working max), leaving customers to rot in a line that moves at a glacial pace. The smoothies are aggressively mediocre and certainly don't warrant the insane wait. It's clear the owners prioritize the 'clout' of a crowded sidewalk over actual customer service. I feel like a complete fool for waiting in that line and giving them a dime of my money. Consider this a warning: stay away. read more

One of the worst experiences I had. On top of waiting for 2 hours in line, once when I got to the front. I had to wait another 40 minutes just to order, but I heard the drink will come out in an hour. Why wait nearly 3 hours to save yourselves 5 bucks instead of erewhon. read more

To start off you walking to the place and our hit with just humidity and heat. It's hotter in there than it is outside. So imagine waiting an hour to an hour and a half for a $12+ smoothie that is mediocre at best. Smoothies have no flavor and are not sweet at all. When it's time to order, you can barely communicate with the person taking your order over the music and blenders practically having to yell. They have only two employees working making customers wait over an hour for their drinks. This is not worth the money, time, effort or energy. read more

Coffee machine didn't work when I went, no sign or anything & the line was so long. Plus it was dirty in there..

waited far too long for two drinks, we're talking 1 hour even when there was no line. the employees were nice but the smoothies were lackluster, don't waste your time. read more

Employees/owners are incredibly rude and will not take your order when you walk in. We waited 15 minutes standing at the counter for someone to even greet us. After we ordered, we waited almost 2 hours for our smoothies. When they call out your name they keep the smoothies behind the counter where you can't reach and ignore you if you ask for your drinks. Bland and expensive, not worth the hype! read more

Terrible customer service. They gave me my date smoothie with peanut butter instead of almond butter when i did not ask. I am allergic to peanuts and when I came back to switch it the worker gave me attitude and did not even apologize for the inconvenience even though they messed up... Never coming here again. Good thing i smelled it before almost killing myself. If i could rate zero stars I would!!!!!! Response: The menu for the late night date does not have peanuts. It has almond butter. Why would I need to clarify that I want almond butter when that's what the menu states. Also I was the first to order out of my friend group then my friend specifically asked for peanut butter. Like I said terrible customer service and lack of accountability. read more

Apple Maps says that they close at 8 pm but when you go in person they close at 5:30 pm and 7:00pm on weekends. Please update your website because that driving an hour for nothing was quite a disappointment! read more

I saw that they make just about everything here from fresh juices, açaí bowls, teas and snacks around the shop. They were very friendly and nice here. There is limited seating inside. They only have bar stool window seating i believe 4-5 stools? Parking can be tough as this location is on a main road. I got the berry smoothie was was ok. A bit bland for me and cups get sticky to so grab some napkins! I had to go back and get a couple during my walk to wipe the cup during my walk. Berry smoothie rating 7.0/10 read more

After seeing this spot go viral I had to go although I knew the wait would be long. The strawberry smoothie was okay but it didn't taste like strawberry , just tasted peanut butter cause the pb overpowers the other flavors . I wont give a bad rating on the smoothie itself but these can lowkey be made at home. One thing I will be honest always is about the cleanliness of the place threw me off. In consideration, they we're back to back making smoothies in a rush in the small blenders but you know when blenders aren't cleaned out properly the blenders get this brown gunk on it , yeah that's how I can describe what I saw and it didn't look appealing to make my smoothie out of that. The kitchen just didn't look super clean and I know I can't be the only one who hyper focuses on cleanliness so for that reason and being able to make it at home , I'm okay with trying this place just once . 6/10 read more

I got the magic bullet and I loved it. It was fresh, really filling and rich but not too too sweet. The staff were really nice and I was impressed by their ability to manage a lot of orders at once. Worth the hype tbh. You get a LOT so you could honestly ask them to split it into two cups and share with a friend, making it a really good deal. read more

Smoothies are great but the wait is insane on the weekends. One person making smoothies while 20 people wait for their smoothie and another 20 people wait to order is not a sustainable practice. It's obviously time to scale up staffing and the only reason not to is to either skimp on labor costs or create an artificial sense of demand. Would come back if not for the 40 minute wait for a smoothie. read more

I went two times, and my second time there were only three people in line and I waited almost an hour for my smoothie. I think they need more workers to accommodate, personally I will not be back. read more

Good quality, but is it worth the wait? I waited 40 min to get 2 smoothies. It's up to you to decide!

I had an amazing drink with Calla beets, carrots lemon it was so good and the guy who is making it in there as an artist read more

Delicious, creamy smoothie! I finally visited Main Squeeze today after seeing it on TikTok, and I really enjoyed my experience. Before going, I checked the Yelp reviews and saw that many recent comments mention long wait times since the smoothie went viral. While it's unfortunate, it also reflects how popular they've become. If you decide to wait, it's important to manage your expectations, and it's a bit unfair and a shame to put too much pressure on a small business. Today, they were busy, but there was no line. With three staff members working, everyone was really friendly. I'll definitely be returning to try a different flavor --  I went with the Green Monster. Looking forward to it! read more

Me and my friend waited 45 minutes just to order and in that time the line only moved 3-4 people. There were still tons of people ahead of us, and it honestly felt endless. We eventually gave up--if it takes that long just to place an order, I can't imagine how long it would take to actually get our smoothies. read more

delicious smoothies, but definitely agree with other people who have commented on hiring more staff + more equipment. extremely packed with only two people working and I waited over 30 minutes to order and get my smoothie. read more

Can't rate the smoothies because we never got to get one. Waited over 40 minutes outside in the burning sun in 80 some degree weather and the line moved 2 spots because the 2 people in front of us left. After 3rd degee sunburns we left without getting a chance to even order the smoothies. They really need to work on their efficiency. read more

Waited 1 hour and 40 mins for 2 smoothies, absolutely insane. Terrible service. I would write a whole paragraph on how disappointing this was but I already wasted enough time on this place just waiting for my smoothie. Please save yourself and just don't go here. read more

the smoothies are good, however the employees are incredibly slow, the line will be out the door and they take their sweet time making smoothies, as someone working in food service that would signal to me to work faster. 2 hours for a smoothie.... read more

This is (by far) the worst money I've spent on food in my 2 years living in Los Angeles. Where do I start? They overfill their smoothies to the point where it starts dripping on you as soon as you walk out. It takes almost 2 hours to get your smoothie. Why are there only 2 employees working here when your line is out the door? Finally, the smoothies taste like knockoff Erewhon. Never going here again. read more

Food service was amazing would come back. Diverse flavors. Amazing customer service and strong taste

Amazing smoothies, it's really a shame that the wait is so long. The staff has always been nothing but kind to me. And truthfully, yall people need to learn time & place. Recording inside an establishment for a TikTok is inconsiderate & obnoxious considering the establishment is really small. read more

Their hours are until 5:30pm. I arrived at 5:25 and they said I could not place an order. Doors were open they're are making smoothies. If you don't want to serve that late, close earlier or lock the doors. Businesses are often super accommodating and willing to stay open an extra 10 min to service customers who arrive before close. Very annoying and not very respectful to a customer already in the door. I have been before, the smoothies are fine, nothing exceptional. The girl at the counter was also not at all apologetic. Acted as if it was an inconvenience I had come it at all. The whole experience really put me off. Really not a good vibe here. read more
