Whew! Glad to have stumbled upon this gem in Sherman Oaks! Was craving some fresh juice so I…read moredecided to give Natural Hour a try. I felt like I was on the verge of being under the weather, so I knew I needed fluids immediately! Fresh ones! Natural Hour is on the edge of a small shopping center. There's ample parking available, at least when I went on a weekday afternoon, and there are also outdoor tables and seats with umbrellas to enjoy your juice and snackies! I was delighted to see their wide selection of menu items. I asked for a recommendation and I went with the Gracious Greens. It was fresh, no ice added (yes!) - just freshly pressed juice from fruit and vegetables. Exactly what I needed! I went for the 24oz and it was $10.99. A $1 difference between that and the 16oz. I went for the largest! I also appreciated the brightness in the shop and how warm and inviting the shop was too. I'll definitely be back to try other items on their menu. Fast and friendly service!

But it taste like homemade smoothies without much thought. It's like when I try to make a veggie smoothie, I just put in everything I think is healthy and pinch my nose when drinking because I just want the nutrients, not the flavor. I'm not saying the flavors are bad. I just think it's not something I'd go out of my way to taste and experience when I could probably make something like it by picking up a few random ingredients at a grocery store. Service was really polite though. The staff was encouraging, providing honest (or as honest as possible) feedback in terms of how she would tier the drinks. Interior itself was pretty bare. It's a huge store. The cashier desk and the place for all the ingredients are huge. But there's very limited seating a lots of marbled floor to stand.

Caribel is the younger girl who is fast, efficient and knows how to make a bomb smoothie has been there 4+ years!!! Tata is the hands on owner who makes everything from scratch and hustles making drinks!!! They make drinks so quick they know everyones order for the most part Ambiance: cute neighborhood shop with natural light. Everytime I go in I feel inspired and glad im supporting a small business with a soul. I love their TWO dog walls. They also have out door seating with a cute umbrella and cute tree bench as well. Product quality: the owner makes salads and sandwiches from scratch DAILY- think sweetgreen/erewhon level salads with home cooked chicken! Don't get me started with Tata's vinagrettes And the protein smoothies are not too sweet which is fantastic to keep from crashing. The acai bowls are still decently portioned too. My order is: -When im low energy: Maca fuel Protein shake -feeling fruity: Berry Strong Protein shake sub Peanut Butter -feeling a sick: OG Shots -acai: House Bowl, add on Goji Berries! No Honey. Pros: -Free parking in the back -Affordable salads and sandwiches -Fast and friendly service! - can sit outside -Dogs are treated like kings and queens here Cons: -sometimes rush hour on a hot day can be longer wait times. So just call 15-30 minutes ahead and they will hold your cold drink in the fridge in freezer! -If you park at a meter without paying you will get ticketed! So just save the stress and park in the back of the shop!

They weren't out-of-this-world, but they were good! I wouldn't make a huge trip out of my way to come back, but if you are in the area, it's worth a stop! They also have the cutest merch.

I found Valley Grounds Coffee on Yelp while looking for a cafe with wifi and outlets so I can get work done and not drive too far out and I ended up here. I'm in love. It's a Monday morning so the vibes are quiet and focus friendly. The seats are comfy, and the ambiance is really welcoming, warm, and calming. The decor caught my eye for sure, it's unique and different. I'll definitely be back and will most likely refer my friends and family to try this spot. Parking is a bit tricky, more like a hit or miss. You can try to find meter parking along Ventura Blvd or go around the block onto Cedros and utilize one of the parking lots there.

There's indoor and outdoor seating options. I was greated by an employee who thought I needed help with directions because Ineas standing outside alone. "I'm just waiting for a friend." I replied. My friend arrived and we entered Twinty Cafe. There were customers deep into their typing on their laptops and an earlies 20's couple into share loving glances at one another. The interior was very clean with exposed brick and lots of earth tones. Ordering our food and drinks we saw that the work area was clean and organized. Our server was helpful enough to not put chilli flakes on my friend's avocado toast. We ordered our food & drinks and got a number to take to our table. We ate outside and had a pleasant time. Great place to people watch.

I wanted a healthy choice, this spot popped up on my search--and after three years working in the area, I never visited this place. It isn't just about good food for me; cleanliness and a positive vibe are so important when taking a break from the daily hustle. From the moment you step in, you can sense the hard work, pride, and meticulous attention to details. Cleanliness feels like a top priority. The staff and owners are incredibly friendly, creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The food itself was absolutely great--fresh, carefully prepared, and made with love I can tell. The flavors were great and quality was high. Prices are fair, which is always a welcome surprise. All in all, I'm impressed enough to become a regular for lunch. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

My Acai was delicious and cold, but all of the ingredients on top were not! I would think the fruit should be cold too? When I had a bowl from another location recently, the fruit was so crisp and cold so I was disappointed today. I picked the bowl up pretty quickly after I ordered it online so it wasn't like it was sitting out for very long. I also got a spinach empanada today and it looked a little under baked. Very cheesy on the inside and delicious nonetheless!

*Updated review 12 years and 2 kids later*…read more I used to come here over a decade ago when this place was 24 hours or closed extremely late (I can't remember. Probably faded at the time) and we would come in after clubbing or attending rap battles a few stores down at the record shop. Now Crave has turned into my 6 year olds favorite breakfast spot before dropping him off at school (wow have times changed!). It's located a few blocks from his school so we stop in a little after they open and I let him go crazy on the menu and order whatever he wants. Every time time we arrive, the lady who takes our order is so patient with my son as he tries to figure out what he wants and she asked him normal questions about his order and I just get a kick out of their interactions. The place is usually empty and very clean. They are actually still cleaning up a few things when we arrive, while setting up a few things on the patio. We enjoy sitting on their comfy couches in the corner and if it's nice outside, the patio is a great option (although you are on the corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Ventura Blvd intersection during traffic so there is a lot of honking going on). The food is still great and we've ordered a lot of items on the menu. We've had everything from breakfast burritos, French toast, salmon, to fish tacos, and yogurt parfaits. We honestly haven't had a bad meal yet. They also make smoothies which I haven't had the chance to try yet and it seems like they can honestly make anything you ask them for. They have an assortment of pastries, cookies, and cakes and they have a wide variety of drinks such as smoothies, Italian sodas, milkshakes, boba coffee and tea. Don't even get me started on their lunch options. This is a great place to come to if you have come with a small or large group of people and you need a variety of options to please everyone. This is still a 5 Afro establishment to me, and we will keep coming back to try more food and drinks. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

The staff is great, friendly and willing to accommodate to the customer's needs. It's in the Sherman Oaks galleria so there are lots of seating areas outside the shop itself. The interior is a bit small, but people usually go in only to pick up their drinks. The drinks are a bit all over the place. I've had several at this point and made some custom orders as well. By far, my favorite is their regular 800lb gorilla. Think of this like a peanut butter chocolate protein shake. Most of the other ones I've had were relatively sweeter. Some use actual fruits and you can tell by the chunks at the bottom of the cup. There were some drinks that I was really not a fan of... the variety in the menu makes me think they're aiming to please everyone's unique tastes - "to each their own".
