Natura Juice Bar & Acai Bowl

CLOSED :(I think they were just too far back and people didn’t know they were there, but this place was awesome and I miss it!

No!!! Why did you close??? This is a big bummer. I loved this place compared to others :/​Sad to see you go Natura…

After just returning from vacation and paying $ 12 for an Acai bowl, the prices here were a relief!
Found this place while looking for something in the area.
Wish I lived closer and could make this my post-​Crunch workout spot.
Fresh ingredients — the Mahalo Acai bowl was soooo good

Juices:
— got the Greenfield juice (apple, spinach, kale, cucumber, kale, romaine, ginger, and celery) — I didn’t like it at all. Of all the green juices I’ve tried, I must admit this is one of the worst ones. It has some weird taste and I can’t even describe it. It also leaves a bad aftertaste. Its just not yummy. I also saw them use some premade juice from bottle or something, so its not all that fresh I guess. Im pretty sure they use some fresh ingredients but I was expecting its 100% fresh which it isn’t.
Price:
— $ 5.25 for 16oz. Descent price
Service:
— better than the service at cuppa across the street but cuppa makes better juice.
— maybe I’ll give them another try by trying their other juice (thinking of getting the beet one if I come again). I’ll update the star if I like it. Until then, I’ll stick with two stars.

I got the strawberry+banana+ blueberry smoothie and my husband got a juice with greens. Mine was okay, I think I preferred the green drink more. It was nothing spectacular that you couldn’t find at jamba juice or make at home. What killed it for us was the unexpected long wait. We were the only customers so far. Then one girl came in after we ordered. The guy just wouldn’t stop talking and flirting with the girl. Ten minutes later we get one drink only. Then five mins go by and the girl behind us gets her drink. By this time we were waiting 20 mins and still no drink. We asked what was going on with our drink, and they said they were still making it… yeah right. They just forgot about it. At least own up to it, instead of lying. Anyways, the last drink comes out 3 mins after we ask. Idk if I would come back here because the service is just lacking and the juices aren’t anything special to overlook the bad service.

Details.
. After dog park «snack» (aka meal) on a Sunday afternoon.
. We both got the «top of the world».
prOs.
. I liked that they layered some granola on the bottom, but it kinda got soggy.
cOns.
. We both added bee pollen & we both hated it because it was so powdery. Totally different than banzai bowl’s (which is our usual spot).
. The smoothie was really bland & watery.
. The presentation was lackluster at best.
. The people who worked there didn’t seem to know what they were doing. It took forever. partially due to the fact that they broke the poke-​y stick in the blender. I mean. That stick is DESIGNED to be used with the blender. How do you break it?! However, I am glad they remade it for me & didn’t make me eat plastic.
mOre.
. We had very high expectations for this place. Definitely didn’t live up to all the good reviews.

Stumbled in yo this little gem today. What a find– outstanding acai bowl custom made just for me! Love! Friendly helpful staff and love the stamp card feature. Super generous portions puts everyone else to shame… I’m coming back!

Great stuff but the service is so slow… 25 mins to get an acai bowl. Not too many customers and 2 employees. Hope they improve this because if you Don’t have 25 minutes to get a simple Bowl Of fruit it’s not fun… Fun
Music, portion was hearty and great tasting !

This is my go-​to for a post workout treat. Everything in here is fresh and organic.
I’ve had the pleasure of having their juices as well as their acai bowls.
The juice I usually get is the strawberry, banana, and pineapple. The sweetness is natural from the fruit. The 16 oz. is enough to fill me up for a few hours! $ 6.95
acai bowl price: $ 7.95
toppings: coconut flakes, honey, banana, and pineapple, granola
The bowl was huge! I am sold! Such a fan of this place.
Friendly employees, also!
Stamp card is a nice little bonus — don’t forget there’s double stamps on rainy days!

Great bowl & great customer service! I was having trouble deciding & Brice patiently made some helpful suggestions. I ended up ordering the So Berry Good without the chocolate in the base. It was HUGE! And reasonably priced! And totally delicious! I will definitely go back again.

You can say I love this place. I’ve completed two stamp cards since this place has opened. Fresh ingredients and delicious acai bowls!
The bowls are also huge and filling. I can’t get enough! My two go-to’s are the Berry Good and Ants on a Log. My favorite juices are the Cool as a Cucumber, Beet it, and Greenfield. I always get a juice and acai bowl. Best combination. You can taste the freshness in their ingredients. I love how they don’t skimp you on their servings too compared to other juice bars like *cough* Nektar *cough* The service is always good too during my visits. The employees are friendly, helpful, and prompt.
This is a great place if you are looking for a healthy and refreshing bite to eat. My ultimate favorite acai bowl place was Banzai Bowls in Laguna Beach, but I think Natura might be taking the cake for me. Love this place!

My first impression when I walked in was emptiness-​it doesn’t look like a hospital, but maybe a room related to one. They’re new so I hope they can put in some simple plants, board games or something. The two girls who took our order were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed talking to them. We got an acai bowl-​good size for sharing– and a juice. The juice was super fresh– liquified salad, but good.
In short I recommend it and hope it gets more inviting.

So I had never had a acai bowl before this weekend. I know I am like 500 years late to this trend but finally gave in and went here based on a recommendation from a friend.
The place is nicely decorated and on the Sunday early afternoon we went EVERYONE was in their gym clothes, so make sure you bust out the lululemon to make a trip here (I happened to have on yoga pants so I was ready to go!)
I ordered the Ants on a log and Reza go the Mahalo bowl. They seemed pretty reasonably priced came out to a little over 15 bucks before I used my check in offer (SCORE). Which didn’t seem horrible as I have bought a juice or smoothie form places like Nektar and payed more.
the were a little slow on getting the bowls out to us but once we received them, they were HUGE! They also had plenty of toppings. They tasted like dessert which was awesome! So I will definitely be back!

I’m obsessed! Everything is fresh and typically priced. I only get the acai bowls, so I can’t comment on the juicing.
I hate strawberries, so they are always willing to not include them in my acai bowl :) my favorite is the top of the world or mahalo bowl. They serve it in a huge cup that I usually have to split and put it in the freezer to save the rest for later.
It’s right next to my gym, so its my post workout reward!

I got the Whole 9 and it was great, especially on a hot day! There was a good amount of toppings and it was very filling. I think next time I would skip the honey since it’s already pretty sweet with all the fruit.
This is really close to my house, so I’ll definitely be coming back. I’m excited to have another healthy option in the area.

Delicious bowls, good service, and nice clean place to sit and hang. The music may be a bit too thumping tho…

happy to find another vegan juice/​acai bowl place! They do a 32 oz acai which I really like. Slightly more expensive than cuppa and cuppa gives more granola. They’re both different in their own ways! I’ll be frequenting both.
OH. Juice cleanses here are only $ 36 for the day. Definitely trying it!

Cool setting and friendly faces. The portions are great and will hit the spot. The music kept the motor runnin and the ambiance kept me in to relax, hang out, and enjoy my «Ants on A log» acai bowl. Nice touch guys! Hope others feel the same way!

Natural juice bar in Lake Forest on El Toro Rd. is awesome. Everything fresh you can include protein, nothing artificial and wonderful girls that work here.
You love it

Great acai bowl… I got the whole 9 yards and it is heavenly. You get more than at juice it up or Jamba juice for about the same price.
Come try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Staff is great. Josh helped me and is super friendly. Way to hook a sister up
Ginger shots with chaser, wow. Drinking during the day never felt better
