I parked in the neighborhood across the street, right around the corner. Anyway, I ended up getting the Date Shake and added spinach and almond butter with a side shot of Sea Moss.

Gotta come back & try them all! Enjoy!

Everything was prepped quickly, the cashiers were friendly, and the environment was nice and quiet. There was a slight bleach smell when I first walked in, so I sat outside while I waited. By the time I went back in to grab my order, the smell was completely gone. If anything, at least you know they're keeping the place clean! Overall, great experience, good food, fast service, and friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and highly recommend. Five stars!

I go in a speak to the girl with giving her my number and order. She tells me there is oatmeal in the cold area with blueberries. I informed her that I don't want COLD OATMEAL AND I DONT LIKE BLUEBERRIES. She tells me I can just take them off. Told her again I want warm oatmeal with banana and strawberries. So she place the puts the order in with me giving her a 20.00 dollar bill. She say after opening the register I don't have any dollar bills to give you your change with was 4.00 and some change. So she ends up giving me quarters which was fine since they weren't able to just add the amount as a credit to my account. A few minutes passed and I look and hear a faint voice say Ashley and look to see my order is ready. Ask for a bag and bag my order then leave. Get to my car to eat my oatmeal and THE OATMEAL IS COLD. Like what the HELL !!! Irritated to the highest level of irritation. I go back to see why I was giving COLD OATMEAL. The first thing I say is "I'm confused why" the same girl interrupted me to say to her coworker/manager " we're gonna have a problem " Now I'm even more irritated cause you've labeled me as a "problem " you didn't even allow me to finish saying what I was gonna say and your response was rude and bad customer service. So now I match energy and tell her to step to side and let me talk to your coworker/manager Brian. Brian tells me that they serve cold oatmeal. I let him know that I told her twice that I wanted WARM OATMEAL that's being promoted on the app and outside of the store. But not once did I receive an apologize from her or him for the confusion but he said he would make the order over. But then decided that he wasn't going to make it over and will just give me my money back because I was telling him that she needs to be trained over and her hair needs to be in a ponytail/bun so that it does not get into peoples food or in peoples drinks.

It's of high quality, not acidic nor sour, the coffee here tastes like the way coffee smells; rich, and flavorful. I'd rank the coffee as my top 3 coffee in LA. I got my wife a "Summer Nights" juice of Carrot, Orange, lemon, muddled mint, it was equally amazing and subtle(no flavor overpowered the next). 10/10 Before I forget, the service was the best, very friendly, and attention to detail!

The whole set up makes this place so inviting but also entirely cozy feel it's fantastic! I had an absolutely great experience on a Saturday! It was so good that I came back the very next day on Sunday to get the same thing. Unfortunately, I couldn't even consume my order the second day. I ordered the green machine smoothie which was absolutely phenomenal the first day the second day it was an entirely different color and crazy sour taste. The front end person making my drink told me that this was due to the differing amounts of spinach each person makes it with. The crazy thing was this second smoothie wasn't green like the first day so how does less spinach make it sour?? Honestly it seemed like the milk went bad and they didn't want to say anything. They didn't remake my drink and seemed offended when I asked clarification on why it was an entirely different color and taste. (Included in pictures) Those things aside the chocolate donut was phenomenal and I did really love my experience on Saturday. Sunday just left such a horrible taste (literally) in my mouth that I wouldn't be back. *Edited to show "green machine" not just "green smoothie" as previously stated.

Out here living that Salud life…read more Salud is a tasty addition to 2nd Street in Belmont Shores. I've found myself returning here again and again, because their juices are just that good. Salud specializes in fresh pressed juices, but also offers health shots, smoothies, acai bowls, avocado toast, soup, and baked goods. I've tried a number of their green juices and only recently started exploring their latte menu. Their superfood lattes are incredibly unique and filled with natural ingredients that will activate your brain. I tried the Head Change, which is filled with lion's mane, maca, dates, MCT oil, lucuma, and your choice of milk. This drink was creamy and tasted a bit like a light horchata. I also snagged their 100% pear juice (so tasty!) and the handmade strawberry poptart (filled with the most delicious jam!) I love how dog friendly this place is as well. There's a perfect little bench outside to enjoy your sweet treat with your bestie.

The smoothie came out very brown though... however I'm not going to judge the drink by that ingredient! It was actually very delicious. The peanut butter wasn't too strong for me and I really liked the addition of coconut milk. Very thick smoothie so I found it filling. Lolita Juice: Pretty good, but note that there's ginger for anyone who might not like that spiciness. Refreshing and makes you feel healthy drinking it. Location: It's on the corner of the street in the neighborhood. Not a lot of great street parking options if it's busy, so it's definitely a place for locals that frequent walking around there. The interior is colorful and cute and the staff were helpful. The only downside was how long the smoothie took. There weren't a lot of people when we visited but it took quite a while for them to make the smoothie.

However, I still would not order the acai bowl again personally because i didn't really taste any acai.
