I had them make the smoothie without collagen as that is a beef product. It literally took 21 minutes on a Wednesday. It was ok, a little sweet with the stevia. I asked how many calories and they wouldn't tell me. Only that it's meant as a "meal replacement " and is between 500-1200 calories. Oof! I'll stick with the healthy superfruit smoothie from Toastique. The salad was good with the figs standing out and the sandwich was delicious. Lots of avocados. Ambiance: everyone is there for the prepared foods and smoothies. The grocery aisles were fairly empty. There's a few bar stools by the entrance so we ate there but most take to go. Parking: very small light with complimentary valet. Luckily we got a spot. Note there's a 30 minute parking limit! Price: $53 for the above 3 items.

Although I started coming to this location as of last week it was your courteous staff that made me…read morereturn to this location verses the other one HOWEVER today I was a bit annoyed how the morning manager or whomever the bald gentleman was at the self check-out (wore an olive green either jacket or pull over sweater) of his lack of attention verses his cell phone. I purchased fresh rolls but they only have the Krispy Kreme bags and I didn't realize the bag has a upc code so unfortunately it scanned although I knew what I was going to type and the qty but the system will call for help, even when I didn't need it... Well lets just say when I saw him he was on his cell phone texting and when I politely said excuse me he put his finger to basically tell me to wait and he then proceeded to text whomever he was texting rather than help a customer...I was then annoyed. I explained what occurs and he said for just a donut (as if he wasn't aware) and I said not for 2 rolls but the only bags available at the KK bag that contains a upc code so it triggers the system thinking I needed help when it's not needed. At the end unfortunately he needed to authorize a final time although we both know its now a 2-step process. Again I had to say excuse me I need your authorization...not polite, not managerial like, as if I was bothering him to do his job (wow). Again while the other staff, even a nice lady that runs the front makes it worth while coming here, he turned me off to not even want to come back. While telling staff to not have their phone out to text maybe you should do the same with this particular manager. 3 stars are for the rockstar staff but minus two for the manager you chose to hire.

So yesh that helped and it didnt help that they didnt open another register so yeah that kinda frustrated me. I believe this was my first time in this store and this will probably be my memory every time I see this store.

It is where locals go, especially for wine and liquor and the ownership is committed to quality service with longtime employees that aim to please. If you live in Venice or the Marina, you know.

Ofc, I spent the entire gift card $ on some delicious items to help me completely get over this flu which has lasted almost 10 days! OF COURSE I MASKED... hellooo I am doing so much better but still not much of an appetite. TIP: THIS FLU HAS BEEN ROUGH ON ALL PEOPLE OF ALL AGES... please take care of yourself. I did get a flu shot this year but the new strain is long lasting... I wore a super protective mask that fit snugly over my face even though I was told I couldn't spread it to anyone!

First, he handles the food like it's trash. He pushed all of my stuff down the lane. He can only pack with one hand. I get it! But, then he asked me to push my things back to him so he could have them now in front of him. Okay... He packed glass liquor on top of glass liquor. When he said, "Okay, you're all set," I had to pull up the handles on the bags. As i was about to leave he said, "That salad is yours," and gestured to something he had knocked off the conveyor. "I see. I find it and then pack it." He didn't like this and show that not only is he incapable of doing a decent job he has a very bad attituded and said some rude things in front of the customers waiting.
