I had completely different experiences with the Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie at Beaming's Long…read moreBeach and Irvine locations. The Long Beach version was disappointing. It was noticeably less pink and vibrant than expected, and the flavor was so faint that it was almost tasteless. If that had been my first experience with the smoothie, I probably wouldn't have ordered it again. Based on that visit alone, I'd give it 2 stars at best. The Irvine location, however, was a completely different story. The Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie was rich, flavorful, fresh-tasting, and beautifully vibrant in color. It was so good that after my first sip, I turned around before even getting back to my car and bought a second smoothie--the Mint Chocolate Chip. A few days later, I came back again. That's how impressed I was. The contrast between the two locations was shocking. The Irvine team clearly knows how to make these smoothies consistently and with the right balance of ingredients. After my Long Beach experience, I honestly wouldn't dare order the Strawberry Shortcake again without modifications or asking extra questions about how it's prepared. But at Irvine, I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Same smoothie, same company, completely different experience.

It was a bit too cinnamony for my liking Beaming is located inside a gym. I placed the order on DD, went in at the time it was scheduled to be done, but it wasn't ready. The guy made it after I told him my pick up order. I didn't hear any blending or stuff, I just saw him pull stuff out of the fridge and pour it into the cup lol. The strawberry puree also tasted a little too jammy for me Overall, I prob wouldn't come back, just because it didn't taste like a dupe version of the smoothie. Does taste healthy, but wasn't worth the $12!

On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

I've been to the other KRISP location but this was my first time to this new location! It's kind of…read morein a business park area. I was headed somewhere but wanted to swing by to get a sea salt foam jasmine iced tea, so I ordered online. Their online ordering takes longer than it should. It gave me a wait time of about 20 minutes...compared to Starbucks, which usually is a 4-7 minute wait. When I showed up 10 minutes after I ordered, hoping it might have been an overestimate, it turns out that I still had to wait about 10 more minutes, so it really did take 20. There were about 5 other people there waiting for drinks, so it was moderately busy but wasn't a huge line. The inside is fairly small and only has a couple seating options, which I think is intentional since most people are going to get to-go drinks in the business park area. I ordered my jasmine tea less sweet and with extra sea salt cream, and it was amazing! They really piled on the cream and it was so rich and delicious, quite a treat! The "less sweet" version was still very sweet, in my opinion. I'm someone who typically drinks black coffee and plain tea, so maybe my taste buds are accustomed to less sugar, but I think it would be nice if they could offer an even lower sugar option like 25%. But overall I was really happy with my drink and it's a nice way to treat myself - as long as I plan ahead with advance online ordering!

I am so tired of the diluted, sour bean water that crafty coffee shops make and call it "cold brew"…read moreand charge me $6... Then I was introduced to this place, and the only wish I have is for it to be closer to my house!! When I ask for cold brew, I want it to be so strong that when it's poured into a clear cup, the brew is so dark that light does not pass through. When I take a sip, I want it to be potent that it takes me to another universe where I can see sound. It was so strong that even after adding more ice later in the day, its strength didn't change at all. It took me the whole day to finish it. I guess that's how I want my cold brew to be, and I think this place is IT. Loved it. 5 stars.

Usually I think of Pressed Juicery for their juices, but their acai bowls are pretty good too. I would consider their juices an 8/10 and their acai bowls an 8/10 as well. I don't believe that juice cleanses work, but everything tastes good. It's a bit expensive, though, especially the juices, but that's just how all these types of places are.

Staff is really kind and helpful if you have any questions. They do have self rode kiosk but it was out of order at the time I went. It wasn't very busy or loud at all but maybe that's because there are no seating areas. Just a couple bars you can stand and drink your juice and maybe yap a little. Definitely will be coming back!

There's lots of parking available. It's clean inside, and when you order online your drink is ready in less than 10 min. Even though it says 15 min. They accept Apple Pay now which is great.

I will have to say that their menu looked so appetizing but fell short. Their KRISP burrito was basically a super hard tortilla - not crisp, HARD and stiff - with very oily contents. Obviously, a breakfast burrito is going to have oil, but it was a bit much considering it was dripping out the whole time. I couldn't finish eating it. The matcha was pretty good but I think their food was such letdown so I wouldn't make the 30-40 min commute through traffic.
