Melrose Squeeze is my go-to stop every time I'm thrifting on Melrose. Whether I need a smoothie to…read morecool down or a quick healthy snack between shops, this is always my first choice. You can genuinely taste the difference here because everything is made fresh to order with real ingredients. None of the artificial, overly sweet stuff you get at chain smoothie places. I love that they don't add sugar, so the natural flavors of the fruit actually shine through. Every smoothie I've had has been consistently delicious. The owner is also one of the sweetest people you'll meet. He's been running this little shop for years, and you can tell how much love and care goes into everything they make. It's the kind of small family-owned business that makes Melrose feel special, and I always leave happier than when I walked in. If you're shopping on Melrose, skip the big chains and stop here instead. Great smoothies, fresh ingredients, kind people, and supporting a local mom-and-pop business is always a win. I recommend this place to everyone!

My daughter and I wanted to explore Silver Lake this weekend, and we stopped by Roots & Rye. We had…read moresuch a great experience! The customer service was amazing, and the 2 young lady's who helped us were very kind and helpful. I wasn't sure what to get, and she recommended the Blue Magic smoothie. I wanted something fresh and fruity, so she suggested adding strawberries, and it was the perfect choice! I love that they offer unlimited toppings definitely a steal! My daughter ended up getting a bowl, which was perfectly presented my total came out to $21 before tip. Parking wasn't too difficult either since they have a parking lot, which was a huge plus. The ambiance was beautiful and made the whole experience feel so welcoming. Thank you, Roots & Rye, for making my daughter's experience so special! We'll definitely be back.

What really sets this location apart is the team. They're incredibly consistent, friendly, and genuinely care about the customer experience. I come here almost every day, and I'm always greeted by name and treated like family. You can tell everyone works hard to keep the quality and service consistent, and it never goes unnoticed. Great drinks are one thing, but the people are what keep me coming back. Highly recommend this location and taking a breather on their chill patio. Love you guys! 5 STARS!

Kreation Organic - Hollywood…read more Just might be my favorite location of all time. From the artistic design of the outside overlooking Highland & Fountain Avenue(s). To the lush greenery of their outdoor patio that is family friendly, spacious and very pet friendly. This location thrives with a great layout, small market you can shop and self check out at with their touch screen kiosk, even with a personal scanner. Daily self serve sample area of great juices and creations at Kreation. I've been passing by for a few years, but finally gave myself time to stop in and enjoy. The K.O. Crew who helped me were above and beyond personable. They felt like friends I'd reconnected with and absolutely made me want to keep venturing in. I had the Green Dream smoothie, made with almond mylk, green apple, banana, kale and parsley. It's one of their many vegan by default blends. Most made with almond milk, some with added yogurt organic whole milk. Their Awake, Chocolate Lovers, Majoon, Mollie's Post Work Out, Pink Power, Yellow Diamond, Mudder|Earth, Cinna/Mud Kruch (made with Oat Milk) and the Orange Sunrise (which I sometimes get at other locations) are amongst the many dairy free signature smooths. Great Transform Smoothies, Tonics Signature Juices, Amazebowls (aka healthy bowls) and KYO/Kreate Your Own options not to mention Coffees, Bagels, Avocado Toasts, Supershots, Meal Programs, Cleanse Kits... The list goes on! Love all the grab and go meals like their Holy Hummus Wrap, Vegan Basil Tomato Bisque, Guilt and Gluten Free Carrot Cake and so many others. Pup friendly treat and toys available as well as aluminium water bottles for purchase and a bottle deposit service. Parking in the lot, but never really filled or full. I think a lot of people walk over and keep it local for the most part of park off Fountain to avoid traffic. Super walkable from Highland/Hollywood Station with several connection options for city transit in all directions including an abundance of various Lome scooters and motorbikes with others. Open 7 AM until 7 PM every day.

I am just now getting to write this review. I came in for a pick up order on June 26th. They don't…read moreknow this but I was acting as a caretaker that day so picking up food for someone who just got out of surgery. Being a caretaker, even if for 2 days, is draining. So to encounter what I did in the midst of that was disheartening. Basically, I came in and was not greeted at all. I waited. I waited. Then, I moved closer to where the barista was working. Still nothing. Then, a man comes in and the same barista greets him. Turns out the man was picking up an order. Same as me. But he was likely with Uber Eats or Door Dash. After he took care of that man...mind you greeted, got his order and bid him ado...he still didn't attend to me. So, I finally greet him: Hi, how are you doing? I'm here to pick up a to-go order. The name is... He turns to go check and may have said something minimal. I can't remember. I do remember he never made eye contact. He must've said it's coming or something. I go back towards the front to wait. Another man enters, who is greeted by a different employee. Kindly. Takes care of the guy and even says have a good day. That same, second man brings me my to-go order. Doesn't say have a good day. I mean it's not like it's not possible, right. Don't gaslight me. I just 2 different people treat 2 different people better than I was. I check my bag and ask for utensils. He gets them. That's it. I decide to call after I left. Mind you parking stinks around this area. I would never think to come here to struggle and pay for parking and deal with bad customer service and food that is mid at best. The manager, a lady, wasn't much better. She apparently was sitting in the store and remembered me and the color I was wearing. She's basically like I saw you. I don't know what happened. I'll have to check with my staff because we don't discriminate. Mind you, ai didn't mention race. Was it because I was black? Perhaps because I was a woman? I will never know. What I do know is I was treated differently real time. Looked past. Given a lower level of priority and reception. But I'm puzzled that if this manager saw 3 very different interactions, why didn't she intervene. People have built in biased whether they are aware of it or not. And there is a difference between intent and impact. I did not feel seen. I did not feel empathy. She offered a free drink. She apologized. But it didn't feel heartfelt or sincere. You know how when you can tell when they are genuinely disappointed and want to really make it right. I told her that I didn't even live in the area and wasn't thrilled about returning. I won't return. And as I said the coffee and food was mid. Do better.

Ok, so I've been wanting to try a smoothie from Erewhon for a while now and was finally in the area…read moreto try it! I went here on a Saturday around 12:24pm and there was a wait! Their smoothie section is inside of a grocery store, which added to the confusion. The multiple lines here made it confusing since they had a cafe and bakery section and another section for food items. I eventually found out I was supposed to order Erewhon drinks from the tablet instead of wait in line and then later found out I was waiting in the wrong section to pick up my drink. I ordered the Blueberry SYRN smoothie from Sydney Sweeney through the tablet. After waiting about least half an hour, that was when I was told where to pick up my drink that I ordered on the tablet. The drink still looked pretty when I picked it up, but it didn't taste like anything special. The smoothie still tasted good though, so not much to complain about that, besides the high price tag of their drinks (it was $22). Now, enough about the smoothie section, the rest of this store looked very well organized with their products and it looked like they sell good quality items here. The store looked organized because I liked how they had all the labels facing out, unlike other stores with their drinks section. The meats and sushi section looked fresh, they have a colorful variety of fruits and veggies too. They also give some free food samples throughout the store, so that was nice. I'd recommend this place for the experience. It's cool how this is a grocery store where you can buy fresh food and drinks here. It's also a good place if you're looking for some colorful veggies.
