Glow Bio

WHAT A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! Their ice machine is broken and they are not telling customers this and are serving crappy drinks. Don’t waste your time or money. I now have to wait 3 – 5 business days to get my money back.

LA, juicing capital of the world!
They serve a wide variety of juices, juice cleanses, smoothies, & boosters.
Detoxifier Cold-​Pressed Juice = Pineapple, cucumber, & mint — Yes! So good, so refreshing, & good for you!
Immunity Booster = Lemon, cayenne, & ginger — Served as a shooter. Good with a kick.
Beauty Booster = Spirulina, coconut water, & stevia — This surprised me because it taste just like bread haha.

The healthiest juice and smoothies you can get in LA! Always organic, probiotic-​rich and Adam goes above and beyond in the service department. Familiarize yourself with Kimberly if you haven’t, and go in and order a GGS!

Came to this place because I was craving something healthy and delicious and what better place to go to than a place that is actually created by a nutritionalist that knows all about healthy eating and promotes that as part of their mission! With their mission to provide and make drinks that are organic and balanced using bio-​nutrients, from bio-​available and providing bio-​power fruits and vegetables, the menu options range from items such as cold pressed juices, smoothies with boosters and shots, 100% organic foods and other drinks such as tea and coffee as well. When you walk through the door into the store, you enter to this warm inviting area with the kitchen and counter to the side and the focus center of the entire store as the seating area for customers and patrons to sit and chat and enjoy their drinks.
Their prices are in line with the other juice places in LA with their starting base price line around $ 8.99. However, after trying their Youth Foundation smoothie, it didn’t really appeal to me that much in terms of the taste and texture. Oh well, at least I gave it a go and tried something new and will just have to patron the other juice places I know and love that will suit my tastebuds wants.

I love this place.
The location is on Melrose so it’s a given that parking is kinda hard.
It’s cute inside and they.
The amount of juice you get isn’t that much but it does come in a very nice bottle.
The workers there are very helpful.

I was visiting my daughter and son-​in-​law and they want to treat me to a healthy smoothie. I was skeptical, but willing to try a peanut butter, almond milk plus other goodies included. It was delicious and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. Can’t wait to go back and try their acai bowl. Claire H.

Best juices EVER. Straight GREEN JUICE NO APPLE ROCKED MY BRAIN WIDE AWAKE The Protein Smoothie with no stevia is PERFECT. Turmeric Shots are divine. I arrived in LA after an all night flight exhausted, went straight to Glow and indulged in healing juices, shots smoothie!!! Walked away feeling energetic, happy, awake and ready to ENJOY LA.
I wish more places had this kind of integrity, true organic foods, love and clean energetics in their foods and juices and EVERYTHING.
I try to go daily when in LA and will drive easily half way across town for this vibrational nourishment cant be beat anywhere else on this planet.
A daily supply will also be with me on the plane! The only way to fly.

Very very healthy and delicious. I ordered an acai bowl which was very good. My son had a Active Vanilla Smoothie which was amazing. Seriously. It was amazing. It tasted so good that I willed myself to come the following week to order the smoothie. The variety of healthy menu bowls/​snacks/​smoothies is great, and will satisfy anyone who is living a healthy lifestyle or making a current change to consume healthier foods.
The service was awesome. The gentleman taking our order was extremely cool, and recommended a few things on the menu. Don’t think about it, just make a trip down here and enjoy…

Visiting from NY and had to stop here being that I’m a big follower of Kimberly Synder. Got the açai bowl, was a bit disappointed; for the price it was very small, had 5 slices of banana plus coconut and granola. The consistency was quite thick, almost like yogurt. I got the GGS as well, was awesome!

This review is just for their acai bowl. My friends and I were craving acai bowls in the late afternoon. We were getting kind of desperate since we called 3 other acai bowl places and they were already closed for NYE. Luckily Glow Bio was open but we literally had 10 minutes to spare before closing time.
Glow Bio is known mainly for juices so they only had 1 type of acai bowl. The acai part was a light lavender color rather than a vibrant purple that most acai bowls have. It also tasted thicker, like more bananas were added to the base. It had literally 4 pieces of sliced bananas and a tiny amount coconut flakes on top. Some sliced strawberries or a couple of blueberries thrown in there would have made the bowl much more colorful and inviting.
The bowl wasn’t very sweet and it tasted really healthy. It definitely wasn’t the best bowl I’vehad, but certainly not the worst. At around $ 9 it was by far the most expensive bowl I’ve gotten to date taking the size into account. However, with Unilocal check in, you can get a free booster (retails for $ 4), which is your choice of a shot of a health booster such as «Debloater», «Immunity,» Supreme Soother”, «Beauty» or «Lemon Aid.» I got the Lemon Aid and it definitely did taste like fresh lemon juice. I instantly felt a little healthier lol.
The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and patient despite us coming in so close to closing time.
I probably would come back for their juices, but I’d go elsewhere for an acai bowl. 3.5

Great spot for some healthy food/​drink and a little mental peace. I came in late one night. The guy behind the counter was very nice. And I got to use my Unilocal «get a free booster» with my purchase. I had their green juice and a hot tea. The green juice was great because it is real green juice. Very low in calorie and not full of sugar like so many others out there. The rooibos tea was delicious and freshly brewed loose leaf. The wellness booster was perfect as the weather has been getting colder.
There was also a pretty delicious looking selection of vegan truffles and snacks that I would love to try next time I am there!

Good juice. good people! :)
Recommend this to anyone trying to get a little healthier!

Everything I’ve had here has been pretty tasty (particularly anything with their coconut water in it). Very refreshing. I’ve even tried some of the healthy to-​go food options. They won’t fill you up, but they’ll leave you feeling satisfied.
Just like any other juice place in LA, it is very expensive. Be sure to check-​in on the Unilocal mobile app to get a free «shot».

Walked by here and decided to come in for a smoothie and also my boyfriend needed to use the restroom lol
Quick tips:
— it is on the middle of melrose so it’s all street parking
— small cute store with seating for about 10
— super fresh smoothies and delicious!
— a bit pricey but you are in LA
— good customer service
Stopped by here while we were shopping and the smoothie I got was delicious ! I got the acai smoothie, it was about $ 9 but you can’t expect anything less in LA. The smoothie was delicious and fresh and it wasn’t overly sweet at all which I enjoyed. It’s a great refreshment if you’re shopping down melrose!
The service was good and average. The store is cute and small, nice place to meet with a friend to catch up. Real casual ambiance. I really liked the smoothie but I probably won’t be back here often just because it’s so overpriced !

I admit it. I have juiced, I use smoothies and juices to replace a meal if I’m busy and can’t eat, and I love to try other local juice joints in LA. I frequent Juice served here like crazy as well as Pressed and Juice Crafters. Was on Melrose and didn’t want to go to my usual juice place and decided to get a smoothie here.
It was honestly just decent. Workers here seem to not want to be here or seemed really tired. They were able to accommodate my cousin’s allergy, but after a little back and forth (pear instead of banana). juices are lacking in variety and something i would not get probably.
TLDR: i would not come back probably, was a little on the expensive side for sub par juices, shots, and smoothies.

If you want to get your healthy on then you gotta give Glow a try…
See the manager Lauren… she knows her stuff!!!

Love this place! Great tasting juices and descent prices considering it is organic.
I would give it a 5star but the gentleman at the register wearing glasses took my money and didn’t change his gloves and he used the same gloves that he touched my money with to make my drink.
I will come in again this week and if he does the same thing again I will lower my star rating to 3stars!
If he washes his hand I will give them 5stars!

Based on my last review, I’m keeping it at a solid four.
The website has drastically improved. Whereas a customer could not create an account, now this option is available, which allows you to store your credit card information. Second, there is a calendar before you pay so you can schedule the exact date your system arrives on your doorstep. Personally, this is the biggest improvement to the entire site’s format. Before you had to give a two week lead time when you e-​mailed and sometimes a call back would not be received right away!
Check back often or on Kimberly’s Twitter to see if any specials are being offered. I highly recommend the Level 1 Ready if it is your first time or, as the description on the website states «If you plan to be more active». This is my go-​to since my job has me moving around quite a lot!
This time, I used a promo offering 5% off any cleanse plus a free booster pack. Normally the booster pack is $ 35, so I could not pass it up! Today everything arrived, although I want to note a few changes:
* Green tote is no longer included with cleanses. This is now an add-​on before checkout. I have a few previously, so I used one to bring into work.
* That said, the bottles can be carried in the pictured carton. Unlike the green tote, it’s not carry-​friendly. Unless you can carry around the insulated box everything is shipped in, no problem. The box material reminds me of what you receive from custom box companies. It definitely will get soggy if it stays in the refrigerator for more than a day or has something spill on/​near it.
* Level 1 Ready replaced Energy in a Spoon with Supreme Soother Booster. I was bummed about this one. It’s not like I don’t keep bee pollen stocked (I looked forward to having the kind from Kimberly’s personal bee keeper!), but more since it made the cleanse unique. A cleanse may seem daunting when you’re solely relying on liquids, yet there had to be an alternative for those with bee allergies.
* The insulated box and included ice pack. I love keeping these around, especially one in my car for frozen groceries if I’m going to be out awhile.
Thanks GLOW!

Very friendly staff.
Tried their acai bowl, really good. And very fulfilling afterwards. I can take it as a meal.
Easy street parking.
Price wise it’s not the most expensive one i’ve been to. But it might seem high to some people. But if you think you need to eat healthy, this is the place to go!

This is more then a juice place! Kale salads, shots, smoothies, and many other healthy snacks are available.
I had the acai bowl and added bee pollen.
The consistency is less thick then others I have had. It was very tasty with these amazing little barley granola crunches inside.
The manager was so nice and I look forward
Returning to try more.
