WTF!!!! Or I can just say what the abbreviation means, "What the fruit". I bet you thought I was going to drop an Eff bomb, well, I'm a gentleman and I don't do that. My reviews are always G rated. Long Beach Bionicos is an awesome little shop. This place is located in a little shopping center, right next to a Subway and a video game shop. This place offers everything from real fruit smoothies, sandwiches, ice cream, milkshakes, fruit bars and more. But what they are known for is their bionicos. If you have never had bionicos, which I hope is not the case because they are delicious, they are big containers filled with fresh chopped fruit that is covered in a creamy, yogurt style sauce and topped with granola, raisins, chocolate sprinkles and coconut shavings (some places use different toppings). My girlfriend and I wandered in here the other night looking for some dessert. My girl went with an order of Strawberries and Bananas topped with cream, chocolate sprinkles and granola and I ordered the traditional bionicos. We both ordered smalls but there was nothing small about these cups of fruit. My girls cup was packed full of fresh, perfectly ripe strawberries and bananas. My cup of bionicos was also filled to the brim, except mine contained strawberries, bananas, mango's, apples and pineapples. Every single bite of these treats was phenomenal. All the fruit was big, ripe and juicy. The cream was sweet but not too sweet and all the toppings were really good too. After watching them make a fruit smoothie I couldn't resist ordering one for myself. I decided to order a strawberry, banana and coconut smoothie. This place makes some of the best fruit smoothies I have ever tasted. I ordered a small smoothie but it still took two whole bananas, at least ten strawberries, and two handfuls of coconut shavings to make my drink. They took all that fruit and put into a huge juicer that spit it out in liquid form. The best thing about their smoothies is that they do not add any ice or juice to them. They are made from 100% all natural fruit. My smoothie was so refreshing. It tasted amazing. The fruit they use for their smoothies are refrigerated so your drink is served cold. The prices and service here were great. Even though there was a bit of a language barrier, the ladies who were working that night were super friendly. Each of our small fruit cups were five dollars a piece and my smoothie was $2.50. This place is open seven days a week till 8:30pm at night. If you're ever in the Long Beach area and feel like a tasty fruit and cream cup or a refreshing all fruit smoothie then stop by Long Beach Bionicos. read more
