I do appreciate that there is validated, free, parking here :) as LA can be unpredictable with…read moreparking. The validation is also easy and straightforward to do. I believe there is a $5 minimum purchase but it is not really enforced. I've also gotten a berry chantilly matcha with oat milk at the coffee bar here, and it was delicious and only $5.25!! What a steal for matcha in this economy. Recently, I I came here just for the matcha again but the coffee bar was closed sadly :/ leading me to dock off one star. If you're coming in just for the amazing and affordable drinks, would recommend calling the store to confirm if their coffee bar is open!

Was craving a simple burrito and I usually do not pickup burritos from heated trays in supermarkets…read morebut didn't feel like paying 15-20 bucks and waiting 15-20 minutes anywhere else today, so made a grave mistake and bought this epic disaster. On the bright side, it easily made my top 10 most disgusting foods ever eaten in my life list. (Think 5-6th place easy.) As I unwrapped (had to fight from the heat and almost melted flour tortilla to separate from the packaging) the burrito looked like it had been put through a car wash, a soaked tortilla fused with the inside crap that was in it. Barely any eggs or cheese, nasty half-assed cooked potato pieces (of course plenty of that) and a feeling of hopelessness and self-guilt for spending 8 bucks on this garbage. Well, at least garbage was good once before it's thrown away. Stick to the blueberry muffins which are great, but this was so bad can't find words in a Thesaurus to describe the level of terribleness and inspired me to write this tragic review.

Erewhon was first on my list to visit when we planned our trip to LA. I had to see what the hype…read morewas about. When we arrived, the security guided us to complimentary limited time parking, which was great because we only stopped in for smoothies. This location was packed! We looked around for a second and then went to order smoothies. We waited about 10 minutes for them to be prepared. While we did enjoy them, $20+ isn't something we'd like to spend on smoothies often. Nice to experience though. Smoothies: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 2/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Location: 4/5

It is a bit surreal being in a grocery store where the mean/median/mode price of something is 10x what it'd be at a normal shop. There's a parking garage right next to this location, but there was also a good amount of street parking nearby. Staff was very friendly! I got an 8 oz. jar of the Summit Trail Mix, which I really liked! It's not too salty and the dried fruits complimented the almonds so well. Enjoyed it so much that I kinda wish I opted for the bigger jar. Also, on top of the already steep price, there's a $3 bottle deposit. Since it was my first time here, the cashier let me know that you can get your deposit back if you bring the bottles/jars back to the store. After making my trail mix purchase, I got the strawberry glaze smoothie. My smoothie was ready pretty quickly. I'm not a big strawberry-flavor lover, but I really enjoyed this smoothie. It was the perfect refreshing drink for hot weather and walking around. I also felt very fitting and pretentious taking sips of my smoothie while strolling around Melrose. I definitely have to go back next time I'm in LA.. to get my bottle deposit back of course..

I went here on May 3rd after struggling with symptoms for several months and not finding much…read morerelief elsewhere. The process was definitely different from a regular doctor visit, but honestly, it was a really interesting experience. Since the practitioner doesn't speak English, I translated my symptoms into Chinese using Google Translate and showed him my phone. He checked my tongue and pulse very carefully before writing out a custom herbal tea prescription entirely in Chinese characters. You then take the prescription to the front counter where they prepare the herbs into 5 separate bags. Each bag lasts 2 days, and you boil the herbs for about an hour, strain the tea, and save the rest for the next day. I'm not going to lie -- the tea tastes STRONG. Very earthy, bitter, and honestly like dirt lol. Each boiled tea bag yields 24-32 oz. that needs to be consumed warm, preferably in one sitting after lunch. It was hard to drink, but after finishing my first cycle (10days) I noticed a huge improvement in my symptoms. They explained that most people do 2-3 cycles using the same prescription for full results. I genuinely feel a lot better. I paid $20 for consultation + $85 for the tea. If you use the prescription and 2nd time you only pay for the tea of $85. They take credit cards but there is a $6 transaction fee.

The doctor has that classic, knowledgeable presence, and you can tell there's a lot of experience behind what they do. It's a family-run business, and everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, patient, and insightful. I really love seeing Asian-owned businesses like this getting more attention and support. The space itself has a cozy, nostalgic feel and honestly gave me Spirited Away vibes in the best way. Overall, it felt welcoming, thoughtful, and rooted in tradition.

Prepared items looked a bit pricey, but I was tempted to purchase a turkey, bacon wrap - no review at press time. Standard grocery items did seem too out of line for my suburban price model eye. If you live in the area I'd try to make this place part of my life. If you work in the area, I'd make it a part of my lunch palette. Parking was good at time of visit, but street parking was feeling tougher.

She raved about them having so many wonderful options so I was very curious to try. DRINK There were so many great options I was overwhelmed, but luckily their workers were so happy to help in my selection. I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie. SERVICE Bree was so very helpful. I told her my goals and that I'd just done a workout and she gave me her recommendations...she also told me her favorite a suggest I add ginger to what I was thinking about. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment but also family friendly. There were some people there with their kids enjoying the place. Also this place is dog friendly.

They serve your order fresh... lots of options depends on your focus - whether for immunity, for liver detox , anti inflammatory, energy , metal detox. Staff were friendly, ready to assist and welcoming. We love their BLT, twas a delight! Has a good sauce, and a good portion . We also tried their OG avocado... rich portion of avocado and tomatoes. The only thing challenging is the parking. It's better to go early and avoid weekends, unless it's ok for you to wait and look around for a parking space. It was worth the try for this spot, good heathy yummy food and juices, affordable as well. Would definitely comeback and try the other delis and croissants.

I have been here a few times and this review will be on the Rockstar and Açaí bowls…read more The Rockstar is an amazing drink, it has great flavor and I would highly recommend. It is also a staff favorite. I would stay away from the Açaí bowls, they are basically a smoothie in a bowl, and after 5 minutes it melts and you basically have an açaí soup. I am giving this a four star because of the açaí bowls, and they typically only have one worker , so if you go when there is 2-3 people ahead of you, it will take about 10-15 minutes to get your drink.

The taste was just tart and bland even though the ingredient list sounded delicious (collagen, hyaluronic acid, sea moss, tocos, pitaya, raspberry, strawberry, coconut water, dates, rose water, camu camu, rose petal garnish). I guess I was thinking that it would taste more like the Erewhon smoothies where it's pricey and delicious. I felt like I had to force myself to finish it.

They have rows and rows of jars filled with herbs, teas and spices along with herbal remedies and vitamins all at reasonable prices. I love this concept and I love the fact that it's still in operation. I've come here for dried milk thistle, whole flax seeds, chamomile flowers, dried mint, star anise, and a "cold & flu" tea that made me gag at first but felt nice after I got used to the overwhelming taste. So far, I've been satisfied with all of my purchases. My main concern about this place is that I have no way of knowing how long these items have been in the jars and if they come from a reputable source. I also wish that the people who work here were more knowledgeable. They couldn't answer any of my simple questions about their inventory. You're basically on your own and have to tell them what you want and they'll get it for you.

My "back-up" has been the Jones Grain Mill (in the Grand Central Market). They don't cover the entire range of herbs, but have a reasonable selection, and good prices, and are courteous.

Oops!!! Now that Management has opted to go seriously "upscale" (and kick half of the vendors out), Grand Central Market is but a shadow of its former self....and just about EVERYONE I paronized--including the Jones Grain Mill--is no longer there.
