Melrose Squeeze is my go-to stop every time I'm thrifting on Melrose. Whether I need a smoothie to…read morecool down or a quick healthy snack between shops, this is always my first choice. You can genuinely taste the difference here because everything is made fresh to order with real ingredients. None of the artificial, overly sweet stuff you get at chain smoothie places. I love that they don't add sugar, so the natural flavors of the fruit actually shine through. Every smoothie I've had has been consistently delicious. The owner is also one of the sweetest people you'll meet. He's been running this little shop for years, and you can tell how much love and care goes into everything they make. It's the kind of small family-owned business that makes Melrose feel special, and I always leave happier than when I walked in. If you're shopping on Melrose, skip the big chains and stop here instead. Great smoothies, fresh ingredients, kind people, and supporting a local mom-and-pop business is always a win. I recommend this place to everyone!

Melrose Squeeze absolutely exceeded expectations…read more We stopped in after a morning out in Los Angeles hiking Runyon Canyon and were blown away. The smoothies were some of the best I've had in LA -- incredibly fresh, balanced, and flavorful. We tried the Tony Special, the Melrose Special, and the Coconut Cardamom, and each one was fantastic in its own way. What made the experience even better was the service. Vahe, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made us feel right at home and clearly takes pride in what he serves, giving us a few free samples of his favorite items! We also had wheatgrass shots for our friend Nando's mother, who is visiting Los Angeles from Portugal for the first time -- and it was such a fun, memorable experience for her. Fresh ingredients, amazing smoothies, and exceptional hospitality. We'll absolutely be back.

Sometimes strawberries. I mostly order pure acai and add my fruits at home. I like my acai firm, less sweet and dark purple is a good color. Don't consume acai mixed with sorbet or super sweet or light in purple color - it's not pure acai. Their coxinha de frango is very good. Filled very generously with chicken (frango), crispy outer edge and creamy and moist inside. Ambiance is simple and service is nice and quick. Inside a shopping center, plenty of parking out in front which shares parking with other establishments.

The customer service was amazing, and the 2 young lady's who helped us were very kind and helpful. I wasn't sure what to get, and she recommended the Blue Magic smoothie.

My daughter ended up getting a bowl, which was perfectly presented my total came out to $21 before tip. Parking wasn't too difficult either since they have a parking lot, which was a huge plus.

I loved the quality of each ingredient and how everything tasted together. I'm still thinking about their bowl and I'll definitely be back.

The good news was that no one got hurt and that he didn't hit the storefront. Jamie W and I were just here over PRIDE weekend, so I know how popular this place can get. It's WeHo after all, and I just presume smoothies and açaí bowls are part of the required diet around here. Well, it wasn't nutritional value that drove us (...you should pardon the expression) but more likely a guilty conscience from our weekend debauchery. The menu was as expected. Jamie went for the $15.95 Açaí Superberry Bowl, an immaculately organized container filled with açai, blueberry, banana, cinnamon, sea salt and almond milk topped with honey, granola, fresh berries, coconut flakes (Photo 9). As expected, it was delicious and quite filling. My stomach wasn't feeling as ambitious, so I ordered the $13.95 Chocolate Supreme Smoothie, a refreshing and suitably thick blend of banana, almond butter, cacao, oat milk, maca, and their own plant protein (Photo 10). That was enough healthfulness for me. I believe there's a giant margarita at Fiesta Cantina waiting for me.
