Juice Crafters

I love their juice, smoothies and acai bowls but they’re pretty expensive. The main reason I’m giving a 3 star rating here is actually because of their service. The three workers who are there on Thursdays and weekends are just not friendly. They never greet me, with even a «hello» and then even on mornings when I’m the only one in here at 7:00 am, they put my smoothie or bowl on the counter and yell out the name of it. Ummm hello, I just ordered that from you and I’m the only one here, how about handing it to me and saying «have a nice day.» Not that hard to have decent service and not piss someone off. I would spend double the money I do here, if I had even one person be even remotely friendly towards me.

Okay, this place is fantastic– if you have the money to spend! It’s not cheap. But it is healthy. And there are plenty of options. They have lots of quick grab-​n-​go items for you to take for lunch.
Fresh juice is always a nice treat! Thanks for the great service and the delicious snack!

this is my all time favorite juice bar! the Lily smoothie is my number one choice, but that’s because I love dates and bananas, with almond milk. I have had many of their juices and smoothies and have never been disappointed. juice crafter’s has a great selection with the best tasting quality fresh fruits and vegetables. they really do deserve 5 stars all around.

Great service and smoothie bowl. So happy to see healthy spots popping up on ocean park!

Randomly stopped by before going on a hike, the 2 staff members were friendly and polite esp. as I was on the phone w a friend asking what smoothie she wanted. I got a green smoothie that also had some fruit in it (forget the name) the staff was very helpful in finding me a smoothie with what I described. My 3 friends also loved their smoothies. Staff also asked if I wanted to try a complimentary shot with lemon and ginger in it which was very nice, the shot was actually really good! It has very healthy but potent tasting ingredients but was made cold to make it more bearable. They also have booklets on the benefits of the fruits, vegetables and other things they add which is very informative. I’d definitely try another juice crafters!

Super cute setup — just a bit dark inside.
I went for an açai bowl and it was subpar and for the price ($ 9.99) it’s not worth it. I won’t be going here for an açai bowl.
There’s a way better spot, more variety, doesn’t charge ($ 1.25) for toppings, tastier and cheaper in culver city.

I really like this juice bar
All the juices are so good, everything fresh and clean
Love this place :)
Lgc shot (lemon ginger and cayenne) so goooood
And green 3.5 cold pressed

1 word, overpriced.
Why the heck would anyone pay 6 bucks for a 16 oz orange juice. It should literally cost less than 1 $ to make.
I would buy if its no more than 3 $.
This whole juice game is just a scam.
Never again.

Amazing. I go every morning for a smoothie, juice, or acai bowl, depending on my mood. My go-​to smoothie after a workout is the Muscle Builder, which has blueberries, almond butter, plant-​based protein and other delicious goodies. Their peanut butter energy bites are also great little snacks, and you feel amazing because you know you’re eating food that is good for you.
And I think it’s funny that people complain about the acai. For one, it tastes delicious, but if it’s runny, don’t wait all day to eat it (duh). What I like is that they import their Acai from Brazil and it isn’t what you’d find in the grocery store, pumped with sugar and additives. My favorite juice is their Cleanse Guru #12 with cucumber, coconut water and pineapple.
And yeah it’s pricey, but is it really cheaper to get a daily $ 5 frappuccino that’s bound to give you diabetes one day?

I had a pretty large acai bowl from here and it was delicious. I have to say im a pretty harsh critic when it comes to acai bowls because i worked for an amazing place in the south bay that serves the most epic bowls. The bowl from here was light and creamy but i wasnt impressed with the topping options. Im willing to give them another try and i hope in the future the bring more add in options.

I’ve gone to juice crafters about 4 – 5 times now for the acai bowl — can’t say much about their juice or smoothies. I’ve had acai bowls from other places and would rather come back and pay the 9.99. Other ones I’ve had tend to be a little more icey which just melts into a watery cold soup. Yes it’s on the pricey side, but consider this a meal. It’s a very decent size with lots of toppings. I think the only complaint I have is that sometimes the strawberry isn’t the most ripe so they’re a little sour.
I’ve never had any problems with the workers. :)

I got the Acai bowl. It was not frozen, but runny and lame compared to other ones I’ve had. it was also much more expensive than competitors; $ 9.99. eeeek. If I’m going to pay that much, it better be perfect. Also they offer stamp cards for smoothies only which makes no sense if the Acai bowl is more expensive than a smoothie.
Very disappointed.

The guy that works there (josh) had amazing customer service.
They close at 6, I got there at 6:15 visibly disappointed, he opened the door for me. They were still cleaning and they cared more for the customer than getting home on time.
I appreciate that. Thanks juicecrafters

«Juice Crafters» is popping up everywhere these days (Ubiquitous «WOW!»), but I’m not quite sold on it yet. I had one Pineapple-​Strawberry that refreshed me on an early morning without elating me, and another called Rootiest #7: Carrot, Cucumber, Spinach, Parsley that had little prickly veggie bits that scratched my throat and made me cough for an hour. #smartass

I really wanted to like this place. Sounds good, looks good and close to my house. I’ve tried the Pacific Love, the Crunchy Monkey and most recently the Silver Cup.
My first two times ordering, the smoothies were just okay. The flavor just really isn’t there despite all the yummy sounding ingredients.
This last time though ordering the Silver Cup, was the nail in the coffin for me. The Silver Cup lists kale as one of the ingredients and I also paid to have them add cacao to it. I wait a couple of minutes and they blend it up and it comes up on the counter and it’s almost white. White? If you’ve ever made a smoothie with either make or cacao, you know even the smallest amount turns the mix green or brown. Right?
So I ask if he can put a bit more cacao in there. Three minutes later (I’m the only customer in there) and it comes back out a very very very light tan color.
They hide the blender and the person making it behind a really tall counter so you can’t even see what they’re putting in your smoothies to begin with much less how much or what they’re adding to «fix» them. Super suspicious.
1 star for tasteless smoothies, 1 star added because the employees making the crappy drinks are always really nice!
Sorry Juice Crafters, you lose.

Cool juice shop located right across the street from the business park where I work. I had the chunky monkey smoothie and there is no monkeying around as it made me feel slightly chunkier than what I already am after I finished it… I say that with a good health conscience… nutrition included. I didn’t see any item pricing on their menu and while I do feel they charge higher than what I expect for a smoothie its Santa Monica. What am I going to do? I picked up my order to go but they have a pretty neat vintage interior décor. Nice staff and a healthy spot is always a good choice. I shall return.

For a lack of better words, it was aiiiightt. Pretty pricy for what it was. I got the 16 oz Slim N’ Fit (strawberries, coconut h20, liquid light, pineapple and cayenne pepper) and it was a whopping $ 7.99. It was pretty refreshing but it only lasted me about 5 minutes.
I heard the Green Soul was good here but I’m not really trying to spend $ 9.99 on a 16 oz. It’s a $ 1 extra for a 20 oz.
Unfortunately, it didn’t blow me away for me to want to come back.

Wow. Glad its not just me that experienced terrible customer service.
I’ve been coming here since they opened. And everything has tasted great so far. I’ve bought gift cards for friends, tried everything from their cold pressed juices, shots, and smoothies.
For the past week and a half I’ve been coming here for their Meal Replacement Smoothies at lunch. Today, I didn’t get a smoothie, but went in with a friend who was purchasing one. She was given a frequent buyers card for her smoothie. I immediately was curious and asked why for every time I’ve come I never once was asked if I wanted or had a frequent buyers card. She started at me and shrugged her shoulders. I’ve spent about between $ 9 – 12 every time I’ve been there and planned to do the same every few days until I no longer worked across the street.
I asked the other employees in the shop if I could just have a card for buying a smoothie the day before. She it was against their policy and rolled her eyes.
Having worked in customer service for years, I understand, yes there are times you must adhere to company policy. But really? Isn’t your job ultimately to satisfy your customers and hope they come back? Well, I’m not coming back. They’re general apathy and indifference was off putting. I would of been happy if they were just nicer about it, but they seriously seem like they don’t give a F.
Lesson learned, save some money and make them at home.

I love Juice Crafters,
In their different locations, I’ve received great customer service, however, the service I received at this particular location was very unpleasant. The young cashiers stood at the register and when I addressed her, she gave me an attitude, as if I was bothering her.
It’s really sad to see that type of customer service from this branch. One star on customer service, 5 on the smoothies.
On another note, today I got the Slim fit smoothie. #great
