    date smoothie
    Jaqueline C.

    LA summer weather definitely calls for a smoothie place like this one. Everytime I have passed this small shop, line out the door and I can tell why. Staff was super friendly and helpful in assisting customers with suggestions. One thing to note was that I saw a handful of bee's in the small space which kind of made me really think to myself wow there must be really clean ingredients and fruits being used. My only complaint really was that even though the ordering process was very fast, the wait for two smoothies exceeded 15 minutes around noon on a weekday. I understand there was only two staff members but two drinks with added whey protein for $30 shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Appreciate the hospitality, fun drinks, unsure that I will be back though.

    Smoothies are good, but nothing mind blowing. Service is friendly, and they're constantly working, but this honestly isn't something special enough to warrant the wait. I happened to be the very last customer on a weekday, and still waited 40 minutes for 3 smoothies (after being quoted 20-30min). Honestly I only did this because I was already waiting for friends in the area, so it was very convenient, and I figured that the wait wouldn't get any better, and yet I was still surprised. I got the Magic Bullet for myself - good smoothie. Very smooth (as in, finely blended). It's up to you whether grabbing a pic with this drink is worth your wait.

    Really fluffy smoothies!! So so thick That's why I came, because they literally looked like ice cream Strawberry banana was my favorite! Green monster was eh. It's one of their popular items, I was looking forward to the mint, but wasn't what I expected. The chocolate one was okay. Had peanut butter, definitely overwhelming with the cinnamon. Unsure If it's worth the price. Parking was not the best and be mindful Santa Monica has parking police working 24/7. Saw a parking police roll around the block while I was waiting the whole 40 mins I was there! There's a small parking lot right next to the restaurant right down the driveway but only 2 spots!!! Definitely took longer than I thought. Small restaurant, a lot of people were waiting, felt a little squished. Only 3 workers and I can say about over 30 people came within the 40 mins I was there. So a lot of smoothies with only 3 people. I have a fear of bees, and they left the door open and honestly I saw 3 bees fly into the restaurant. Maybe it's normal with organic smoothies places and such, but still a little frightening to see those bees land on the mixers and tables they were using. Cute place, hard working employees, but the taste of the smoothies were just not up my alley. It only gets a 4 because it's not horrible. The employees are doing their best and the smoothies are okay, they're just not my type of smoothie. They need to hire more people because the wait is definitely not worth it!

    The line looked pretty short but don't be fooled. It was still an hour and a half wait. An hour to order and another 30 minutes to get your smoothie after you order. We got the strawberry banana, tropical and green one. The tropical was definitely my favorite. But I feel like I could've made them at home. The consistency of the smoothie was thicker and creamer, so that was amazing. But it was just good. I'd never wait that long for them again.

    I stopped by Main Squeeze on Wednesday around 11:00 AM and ordered the Green Monster. Honestly, the smoothie itself is a 5-star experience--it is packed full of nutrition and clean ingredients, but somehow tastes just like ice cream! It's the perfect balance of feeling healthy while getting a treat. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the wait time. It took about 20 minutes to get my order, which felt a bit long for a mid-morning weekday. That being said, the quality of the drink makes it worth it. I'll definitely be back, but I might try to order ahead next time!

    Thankfully for us, it didn't take hours to get our drinks. However, because I ordered a juice it did take a bit to get because they ran out of vegetables and they went to the back to get more. The juice tasted very healthy but in a good way. I wish it came with ice though. The smoothie was so thick it was really hard to drink for the first 20 minutes. This is definitely not a place I would go out of my way for. There's actually nothing special about this place besides the overflowing smoothie on top of the drink. If you see a long line, I would skip.

    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.

    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

    visit date ; may 24 i heard about this place throughout tik tok & had to check them out. just the way the smoothie looks makes you wanna take a drive. i came on the weekends in the early mornings and surprisingly there was no line. their was only one person working so it took some time for my smoothie to be made but that was fine. i don't remember the smoothie i got but it was really good. it was perfectly balanced & not too sweet. i really like the thickness of the smoothie. overall my experience, main squeeze felt like any other smoothie shop.

    The wait time is crazy (over an hour) The look of the place looks very unkempt The smoothie was okay

    Chocolate Thunda

    Saw this smoothie place on social media hyped up for being better than Erewhon, so I wanted to try it. I came on a Sunday and thought I passed the lines, but the waiting happens once you order. I waited around 45 mins for my smoothie. Theres only 4 staff working, with 2 people actually making the smoothies. Despite that, the smoothie actually tasted pretty good. It was $12.75, but it tastes like $12.75. I got the chocolate thunda smoothie, and the serving size is huge, so I recommend sharing. Theres other good spots in Santa Monica, so if you really want to try, either come on a weekday or wait a long time.

    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.

    I came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it took an hour to order and get my smoothie, which is ridiculous!! I got the strawberry fields smoothie, which was good but not worth the wait! I got it with almond butter.

Everyone seemed to recommend this place, so I figured it had to be worth the hype. Plot twist: I didn't realize it was vegetarian until I was already looking at the menu. Normally I'd be a little skeptical, but WOW... I never once found myself wishing there was meat on my plate. I ordered the Spicy Italian pizza, the oyster mushroom "calamari," and a glass of wine, and every single bite was delicious. That pizza though... It was hands-down the star of the meal. Crispy crust, packed with flavor, and honestly one of those pizzas I'd happily drive back to Venice just to eat again. The oyster mushroom "calamari" was also surprisingly convincing. Crispy, flavorful, and a really fun twist on a classic appetizer. And here's the real review: I took the leftover pizza home for my parents, and we all know leftover pizza can be hit or miss. Somehow this one was STILL amazing straight from the fridge. That alone deserves bonus points. If you're shopping on Abbott Kinney and need a break (or if you're just looking for a really great meal), don't let the vegetarian menu fool you. Even this meat lover left completely satisfied. I'll absolutely be back... mostly because I'm already thinking about that pizza.
