Qwench Juice Bar

Do not get the bowl… their juices are pretty delicious but I didn’t enjoy the bowl that I got (N bowl). Portion was more than enough. I think they should half the price and serve the half the portion. I got tired with the flavor in the middle way and just gave it to my friend. On the other hand, if you sharing with your friend, maybe it’s a good option!!!

I can’t get used to this expensive juice craze…
We stopped by the juice shop for a quick snack and also for curiosity sake. Lots of menu items but we settled on the grapefruit smoothie (grapefruit, agave, coconut water, and some other fruit.)
We received our smoothie and it tasted like any other smoothie from Jamba Juice except nearly double the price ($ 8 for a regular cup). So it’s good but not $ 8 good…
The fruit washing machine is pretty cool, but really, not worth stopping by.
It seems that there were a lot of regulars here getting yogurts and Acai bowls for $ 8+ but maybe this is just city life and something an OC gal like me can’t get used to!

This place is amazing & you can tell that its fresh. It was my first time here today & I had the Blutella from the Epic Blends, which was unexpectedly really good (if you like sweet) & my boyfriend had the Old School from the Vintage Blends, which was also good. We also shared The Original Acai Bowl which is satisfying & filling. The employees were also helpful since it was our first time there.

A good alternative when I can’t find parking at Earthbar, which is pretty much never these days… Qwench makes a tasty acai bowl and is pretty decently sized. I agree with some others that the acai could stand to be thicker… and it does melt a lot faster than others I’ve tried, but the last time I went, I asked for extra thick acai and it was better. Part of the problem is that they blend with coconut water instead of soy/​almond/​hemp milk and I don’t like the fact that they add ice. It doesn’t water down the acai, flavor-​wise, but it does cause it to melt fast and not all of the ice blends, so you get ice chunks here and there.
Typical DTLA parking but if you’re lucky you can get metered parking right outside or do what I do, which is grab some Qwench after shopping at Ralphs (right next door) where they validate parking in the underground lot.

We live across the street. It’s healthy. Huge portions. Two could eat with one of those bowls. We will stop going there once the price exceeds $ 10.

I’ll get the matcha smoothie, was even starting to go once a day although the smoothies melt fast. I liked how they clean the veggies. There was a clear ad in store that said get half off if post on social media. I asked after I posted and management refused to honor. He argued with me because he said his bosses said not to honor although there were no ending dates posted. It was embarrassing and disrespectful all due to misleading advertising. It’s not worth it. I recommend going to juice crafters or earth bar.
Whole Foods will be open next door ¹¹⁄₂₀₁₅. The least you can offer at $ 8 a smoothie is good customer service, honesty, and respect.
I deleted my social media posts obviously.

This post is just for the Acai Bowls. Not sure how their juices and smoothies are. The Acai flavor itself was really good. The buts, coconut flakes and strawberries were all really fresh. The only problem was my Acai bowl turned into more of a soup.
I did like the freshness of everything so I might come back for a smoothie instead.

Stop by every now and then! I love their KALE GREENS smoothie. So good with honey, kale, banana, flax seeds, pineapple and almond milk.
Tried the Acai bowl and it’s great on a hot summer day, filling. Melts in about 20 minutes, but what do you expect? ice melts! it’s science!
staff is friendly, parking sucks. and its like $ 7.50 for a drink.

I had an acai bowl and protein smoothie. The acai bowl was pretty bad. It was like watery ceviche within 5 mins. No flavor and minimal amount of strawberries and bananas. Granola was bland as well.
Smoothie was OK but for $ 8 I’ll spend my money at a better quality juice bar.

Regular semi okay fast good juicery. Decent prices and one of the healthy options. Good Customer service.

It’s clutch that this place is open until 9:30! However, Qwench will definitely be a late night, last resort for me. Earth Bar, ftw… at least when it comes to the açai bowls.
Strolled in at around 8:30pm and they already shut down juice operations but, anything blended (smoothies, açai bowlss, etc.) was game.
Qwench has a lot of options when it comes to açai bowls, even ones with Nutella or blended with Greek yogurt!
I opted for the original (topped with strawberries, bananas & granola). Didn’t know it came with honey but the honey was not very good (once you go raw, organic honey… there’s no going back!)
And like other reviews have stated, Qwench’s açai bowl gets really watery, very quickly. Couple of reasons why I think it does this:
* they blend it with Coconut water. Other places like Earth Bar blend with hemp milk or something with more substance
* they add like half a blender full of ice!!! Typically the açai is already frozen so all you need to do is blend it/​add liquid. So thinking this means that Qwench is skimping on product?
& lastly, Earth Bar’s Granola is waaaayy better.

Very friendly staff, but pretty terrible juices.
Overpriced, and both time I went, I had as much foam as juice.
I do no recommend that place.

Overall decent smoothie. A dollar off if you went shopping at Ralph’s and have your receipt! I got the B & B — blueberries, banana, apple juice, plus yogurt and honey. They were accommodating enough to put only half the amount of honey as I requested. However, it really just tasted like a banana smoothie. Didn’t really get much of the blueberry or apple flavor; don’t get me wrong — it wasn’t a bad smoothie; just overwhelmingly bananaish. I feel that if blueberries are listed as the first flavor, you should be able to at least taste them.
The service was good in my opinion, and ingredients are also crazy fresh. A little pricey, but more or less worth it. Probably will give them another try and maybe try another smoothie; I’m curious to see if they’ll individualize your order even more to include more of a particular fruit.

Bad acai bowl bad bad
Far too soupy and whipped. The flavors were «all there» but it was just a huge disaster. Very overpriced for the quality to be franklin

Heard this was the same owner as Robek’s Juice, so decided to stop by and visit. I got the N acai bowl (N for nutella) and probably the heaviest acai bowl I’ve eaten.
The bowl was good– the acai got really liquid-​y really fast but you can taste the nutella in the bowl. Great toppings and I also added honey which made it better in my opinion. Nice place to stop by in the morning to get your morning vitamins!

Overall decent juice place in dtla. Not the best, but good if it’s convenient for you.
The acai bowls are great! And I’m a bit picky about my acai bowls. I have had one instance where the consistency wasn’t as good as other times, but overall I recommend them. They’re big enough to be a lunch or to share as a snack.
I’ve only gotten one protein smoothie called «clockwork» and it’s pretty good. Lacks a bit of flavor but it is what it is. I’d get it again but I’m also going to try some other ones too.
There’s $ 1 off coupon on the back of Ralph receipts & they offer buy 10 get one free cards! Just ask!

Love this place! I’m so glad Robeks is no longer there! I’ve tried their Acai bowl and their AM Fix smoothie.
It’s filling, fresh and delicious. Only thing they need is curbside service! Or even a loading area so I can run in quickly and leave without worrying about street parking!

New juice bar! Same owner as Robeks. Heard he’s replacing everything with Qwench.
Price seems almost the same… Maybe higher. The menu got simpler with less overwhelming list of drinks to choose from.
I got the spinach juice/​smoothie for $ 7.50. It’s pretty satisfying so I’ll be back for some more when I feel like splurging :3.
Location: On the corner of 9^th and Flower next to Ralph’s.
Parking: free street parking after 8pm Monday-​Saturday. Free all day on Sunday’s. One hour parking validation at Ralph’s if you buy something from there.

Spinach greens smoothie and the clean green raw juice were super fresh and tasty.
The shop was cool and clean. I liked how the veggies were used as a decoration and it looked fresh.
Seems expensive but the large is massive. Almost the size of a big gulp. Lol

(It used to be Robeks — I guess it has been rebranded as Qwench)
I’ve only tried the basic Acai bowl but it’s so good, I’m gonna try all the other ones. The bowl is pretty big and I wasn’t hungry until lunch time.
They have a good selection of juices and smoothies. It’s a good spot for a healthy snack!
The service is very fast, I barely waited 10 minutes!
