    Magic Bullet
    Jessica G.

    Feels like the entire city has been hyping about this smoothie and I just got to try it. Have heard people complaining about the line and wait time too, but most people said the price to value was unbeatable especially when you started comparing against ....... IYKYK. I got my Magic Bullet pre-ordered online so I literally only stopped by for pickup. The venue was quite petite and you could enjoy the smoothies on the spot but with standing table. The smoothie was so thick and filling, and not overly icy making it so satisfying. Wish the matcha and almond butter to banana ratio could be increased a bit as the banana flavor was dominating, but overall it's still very good one! I wouldn't line up and wait long just to grab one tho.

    Tropical Mix Smoothie
    Rachel T.

    Got to finally try Main Squeeze after doing a long walk on the Santa Monica beach, and the tropical mix smoothie was the perfect way to cool off! Their smoothies are really thick and creamy, and not sickeningly sweet which I appreciated! I wish they had smoothie options that didn't include bananas in them though. And I honestly thought it was pretty affordable compared to other smoothies places I've been to. The shop itself is small and does feel a little cramped, so I definitely wouldn't recommend hanging around in the shop. I'd say it's better to pick up and move to another location. Service was really friendly and there wasn't a line when I went so I was happy at how fast it came out! Definitely would come back here when I'm in the area.

    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.

    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.

    Green monster
    Payal Z.

    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!

    Deliciously thick smoothies! Went around 2pm and there was a huge line. They take their time making each smoothie though so it's worth the wait in my opinion! The Green and Lean was delicious. All of their smoothies are very banana-forward, I think to achieve the thick, shake-like texture. I'd be back!

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    Strawberry Fields
    Eliana S.

    order: strawberry fields with almond butter highlights: - very very filling and very large! - the smoothie was refreshing and quite addicting - i loved the small dates in the smoothie cons: - it took very long to get our order even tho it was not busy. they call our names so it can be easy to miss your order - the smoothie was expensive at about ~$12.5 per smoothie, defo can feed 2 - it was quite hot inside but it was decorated nicely overall: I would visit again only if it was not busy, if it was busy tho I would pass.

    Summertime Green Strawberry Fields
    Jessica P.

    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.

Parking in Santa Monica is rarely easy, so I considered it a small victory when I actually found free street parking in the neighborhood during my most recent visit. My go-to order is usually the D'Lox Toast or the D'Lox Sandwich, but this time I opted for the D'Lox on a bagel. It was absolutely delicious as always, though seeing the $20.65 price tag for a bagel sandwich is always a bit of a shock each and every time. And, of course, I couldn't resist pairing it with a Wazuka Matcha. Another $8.50 later, I had one of my favorite matcha drinks in hand. All said and done, breakfast for one came to $32.28, which is pretty steep especially for a place where you order at the counter and find your own table. That said, the quality is consistently excellent. The ingredients are fresh, everything tastes great, and I always enjoy my meal and overall experience at Urth Caffe. If the prices were a bit more reasonable (and the crowds a little smaller), this would easily be a five star spot for me. Until then, it's still a place I'll happily return to whenever my friends want to go.
