Whether I'm stopping by to grab something to eat, hanging out on the patio, or coming for one of their live music events, the energy is always so good. As a vegan, I also really appreciate how many options I can find here. The vegan crab cakes are hands down one of my favorites, and I will tear a Caribbean Sunshine DOWN every single time! Seriously, if you haven't tried that combination yet, I had to put you on. What makes Simply Wholesome special to me though is that it feels like so much more than just a restaurant. Between the food, health market, music, events, and people, it really feels like a community space. Definitely one of those LA gems I'm always happy to support.

It's unfortunate that I have to update my review and lower the stars, but I have to share my…read moreexperience so hopefully a better system can be put in place. I ordered two smoothies, one for me and one for my son: #17 and #31 IN STORE on Saturday, 9/19/26. As you continue reading, please keep the words "in store". When I ordered, the staff asked for my name and phone number. I thought it was a little strange that they needed my phone number since they call your name over the mic when your order is ready, but okay. They were busy, so I prepared myself to wait patiently. No biggie. But then I started noticing SEVERAL people who ordered way after me getting their names called and picking up their smoothies. That's when I was like, "Oh heck no, something ain't right!" After waiting about 15 minutes, I finally walked up to the pickup counter and asked when my name was going to be called. I gave the young lady my name, and she first looked over at the smoothies being made, thinking maybe mine was in the process. When she realized it wasn't, she checked the screen and asked, "Was it a phone order?" Nope! I told her I stood right there in line and ordered in person, and I had already watched several people who came in after me get their smoothies. She then looked in the freezer, pulled out ONE smoothie and said, "They had you as a phone order." Now I'm even more irritated because I ordered TWO smoothies. I told her I was supposed to have two, so she opened the freezer again and pulled out my second smoothie. So both of my smoothies had apparently just been sitting in the freezer while I was standing there waiting for my name to be called. I know the mistake wasn't necessarily the young lady's fault, but what bothered me even more was that there was no apology. Not even a simple, "Sorry about the mix-up." Moving into the neighborhood, I was genuinely excited about having this place nearby and supporting the establishment. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe reconsider asking for a phone number when someone is physically standing in the store ordering, or have a clearer system for distinguishing in-store orders from phone orders. Because waiting patiently while your smoothies are sitting in a freezer the entire time is definitely frustrating.

Food: this has been on my bucket list! Got the Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie (aka Hailey Bieber),…read moreArugula with Fig salad side, and Chicken Roti sandwich. I had them make the smoothie without collagen as that is a beef product. It literally took 21 minutes on a Wednesday. It was ok, a little sweet with the stevia. I asked how many calories and they wouldn't tell me. Only that it's meant as a "meal replacement " and is between 500-1200 calories. Oof! I'll stick with the healthy superfruit smoothie from Toastique. The salad was good with the figs standing out and the sandwich was delicious. Lots of avocados. Ambiance: everyone is there for the prepared foods and smoothies. The grocery aisles were fairly empty. There's a few bar stools by the entrance so we ate there but most take to go. Parking: very small light with complimentary valet. Luckily we got a spot. Note there's a 30 minute parking limit! Price: $53 for the above 3 items.

I came across NN reached out to them on Instagram they confirmed they had it and told me when it would be back in stock. I went a few days later and the vibes were just off. Walked in no one said a thing ended up walking thru the walkway and saw a girl at the register looking at her phone. I asked could she tell me where the seamoss was she looked up looked confused then just pointed to the to the fridge/cooler and went back to looking at her phone. Now granted it was right next to me I don't know how I missed it....Lol Anyhoo I paid and she didn't say a word. I went back the next month because I hadn't found another place to get it(thankfully I have my go to spot for seamoss now). Grabbed it and was in and out in 5 mins. I still didn't like the vibes. So I refused to go back. Fast forward to two weeks ago, NN kept coming up on my TikTok I decided to give them a try again but for something else. I'm looking to have an all natural skincare routine. Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, etc so I said let me see if NN has anything like that. I reached out on Instagram again, someone opened the message read it and decided it wasn't worth a reply I guess....Lol I'm still waiting.... Maybe it's just me, idk!

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.

As always, I got a pickle spear and cold macaroni salad on the side. It was like the type of sandwich you present to someone after they've done a job well.

The only bad part is the parking can be really bad because the lot is very small and LA drivers are very rude and will not let you in or cut you off.

My daughter and I were in the area and wanted to really browse the store. They had a beautiful selection of fresh meat and seafood, the prepared foods items were piled high and looked appetizing in their case, and produce was fresh and good looking. They also carry many top organic and gluten free food brands, health and wellness products and freshly prepared juices at the juice bar. They even offer freshly baked cookies in the bakery, kept on a warming tray. The aroma was crazy! This time we decided to grab lunch from their hot and cold bar. It was the only miss, in my opinion. The roast vegetables, baked herb chicken drumsticks, and tofu peanut slaw were moist and fairly tasty, but the entree selections featured an Asian theme and they were mediocre - spicy Asian vegetables, beef and broccolini, kung pao chicken, whitefish in sauce. My daughter chose mostly from the salad bar and she enjoyed hers. Their poke bar looked more appetizing, but I don't think I would return for that. The only other negative was no toilet paper in any of the women's restroom stalls.
