It's good -- and at that price point, with all that collagen and "good stuff," I'm hoping I walk out glowing. It tastes like a strawberry milkshake disguised as a wellness drink, and honestly, I get the hype. If it makes me look snatched, even better. Now, the store itself... this place is packed. The parking lot is chaotic with tiny spaces and valet -- very LA energy. Inside, the grocery store is small, compact, and filled with people. No dogs allowed inside but they are allowed on the outdoor patio. They have a clean bathroom in the back for customers.The smoothie/café line was long, but they text you when your drink is ready, which helps. While waiting, I wandered to the hot bar -- also overpriced, but honestly delicious with tons of options. Way better than any Barons, Whole Foods, or Lazy Acres hot bar I've tried. The store carries lots of unique brands and has a huge beauty/skincare/supplement section. There's even someone at the front greeting people and offering samples. Outside, there's a patio for eating. Overall, it's a cool experience -- definitely overpriced, but fun to check out at least once. And it's in a lovely area, which makes the stop even better.

Had a good lunch here on a Saturday…read more We stopped in here on a whim and got seated in the back, very pleasant vibes under the shade. I got the beef kabob plate and half bowl of fruit. I really enjoyed the beef kabob plate. The salad and tomatoes were super fresh and the meat was cooked and seasoned well. I was expecting to miss having rice, and I somewhat did, but it was still good. The half bowl of fruit was fantastic too, with a good selection and quantity. They tasted fresh and flavorful. Service was good, no complaints and attentive. The only complaint here is the price -- it's just a little much, but that probably is due to the area it is in. Enjoyed it, and would go back, but make sure I'm ready for the bill.

Despite the so so service the last two times, I returned. Bad call…read more Took 10 minutes post order for my coffee to arrive, and it was mostly water and flavorless. Server seemed put out when it was sent back. Hot matcha (delicious) took longer. Then waited a full 40 minutes for our food, while tables seated after us were getting theirs. Finally, eggs were put on the table cold. Sent them back. Server seemed even more put out. Took at least 10 more minutes for them to be set in front of me again. They were warm. The beans tossed on top of them were not. Bread and salad were boring. The soup was hot and tasty, though. That was the last we saw the server until we requested the check. That took another 10 minutes or so. We had parked right across the street. Coffee, soup and one plate of meh eggs later, we had 16 minutes left on the two-hour meter. Do the math on that quick lunch. A shame because the drinks can be amazing.

We waited about 1hr 30mins on a Sunday around 12pm, the line didn't seem that crazy long but it…read moreseems like there were only maybe 3 people working and probably every single customer was ordering smoothies so it took a while to accomodate. For me personally, I enjoyed the smooth texture, it seems like the base was mainly frozen bananas to achieve it. But, I think the creamier flavors paired better and were more enjoyable that way. I got what I was hoping to be more like a green smoothie but it came out creamier than I had hoped. Maybe some would like that but it wasn't for me. Love supporting family owned businesses, they do indeed make great smoothies and I'm sure their other menu items are great as well, however maybe just wait for the hype to die down, I don't think it's truly worth that long of a wait

But the best part is the presentation and serving accessibility in which every item is scalable and cut into small pieces so you can tailor make your own personal salad consisting of everything under the sun but the kitchen sink and you haven't broken the bank. I particularly appreciate the minced ginger and garlic. Everything is fresh, wholesome and colorful and the people tirelessly refilling the serving dishes are as nice as can be. For those uninitiated about the location, the Water Garden office complex is a hidden Class-A trophy property owned and operated by the elite and whatever you think about them, they know how to eat.

But everything is super fresh and they have every salad bar option you could ever possibly imagine plus some you might not -- like their special already made salads. They also have soup, bread, make your own sammies and smoothies, plus tons of chips and snacky snacks. My lessons learned after a few visits to the salad bar -- choose the smallest container possible (it will still cost LOL), don't come unless you want to wait in a line of hungry corporate business folks between 12-1 (I have seen the line go out the door) -- actually my advice is go early because later on everything is picked over (although the staff are really good about filing the salad bar items). Also everyone who works there is super friendly and super busy! It is kind of hard to find the location -- it is across the street from the Colorado Center tucked in the middle of another corporate park but I didn't catch the name of the corporate park. So ...

My favorites are My Son's Pho (it's my favorite pho on the West side) and the N Seoul Bowl (which is light but hearty and the portion is so generous I always have leftovers for lunch). The Sunset Strip Burger is a major crowd pleaser. The Northern Lights pasta is cravable. The service is always warm and welcoming, but never hover. Love the staff. And it's usually quiet inside, pretty small. We've never had to wait for a table. It's such a gem, we were instantly hooked. I just wish I'd known about it sooner.

This used to be my favorite spot for arepas, but after today's experience, I won't be coming back…read more I called ahead and clearly explained my order: three arepa orders, with one having the masa scooped out. I also specifically asked about the price and was told it would be $13 per order, consistent with what's listed online. However, when I arrived, I was told the orders would be charged separately, and the employee became visibly frustrated when I asked for clarification and requested that everything be grouped as discussed. What made the situation worse was the pricing. I was charged $15 per order, which didn't match what I was told over the phone, nor what's listed online or even on Yelp (where it shows around $10). When I politely questioned the discrepancy, the employee became argumentative and made the interaction uncomfortable. I paid, because that's not the issue--but being treated dismissively and feeling misled is. Pricing should be consistent and clearly communicated, and customers shouldn't feel like they're being taken advantage of for asking reasonable questions. Really disappointing experience from a place I used to enjoy.

Cafe Bolívar (est 2001) is a cute corner South American coffee shop on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. They have good selection of coffee & tea drinks, selective pastries, salads, breakfast, and special arepas. This cafe has a calming atmosphere with background music that's not too loud, and the staff are skilled. I came on a sunny warm afternoon to grab a cold drink/light lunch. I had a Cold Brew and Chicken Arepas. I enjoyed their refreshing cold brew coffee drink but so much on the pollo arepas. Its chicken was dry; arepas outside was crispy and crunchy but the inside was not moist. Moreover, their size was bloody small. Cafe's interior was naturally bright and aesthetically decorated. Indoor/outdoor seats were comfortable. Prices of the drinks were fair, however, arepas seem expensive. Service was on point. Staff were cordial. Free wifi. Plenty of street parking. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop.
