If you're ever in the area or you're a local to van nuys. Highly Recommend this Gem! You get authentic,raw, natural juices/smoothies/protein shakes. If you're looking to detox naturally without pills/tea. This is your best bet! Because not only are you detoxing with these juices you're also drinking natural herbs/ veggies/fruit that contain nutrients/vitamins that you can't get from a pill or a tea. I discover this place because I'm still on the path of weight loss & healthy Whole Foods ingredients/habits. This is a great place to start your journey. My partner and I also started doing this to not be a high risk for diabetes. This is a Spanish friendly place as well. You can also ask questions or concern of what your health problems are and they will recommend a juice that can help your case. Great reasonably prices for the quality of juice you're getting.overall 10/10 Great customer service , Spanish/English friendly , healthy/organic , you feel welcomed at this shop. Definitely a mom/pop shop definitely a lot of care/ effort read more

I walked into La Bona Energia Raw Juice Bar without a clue of what I really wanted, just a strong craving for a good licuado. What I got was far beyond what I expected. Jonathan and Patricia, the husband-and-wife duo running the place, provided exceptional service from the moment I walked in. Jonathan asked me thoughtful questions about my fruit preferences and what I was in the mood for. The juice he crafted for me wasn't just good, it was honestly one of the best juices I've ever had. (Sorry, Mom! ) As I sat and enjoyed my drink, Jonathan checked in on my health goals and took the time to explain that they actually offer plans specifically tailored to help with those goals. It wasn't just talk either, I've been taking my juices from them consistently for a week now, and I can already feel the difference in my energy, digestion, and overall mood. Jonathan and Patricia are incredibly knowledgeable about greens, fruits, and natural supplements. Their passion for helping people live healthier lives shows in everything they do, from their ingredients to their interactions. They're not just selling juice; they're building a wellness community. If you're even remotely considering stepping up your health game or just want the best damn juice you've ever tasted, go see them. I couldn't recommend them more. read more

This place is a real treat hidden away in Sherman Oaks. No frills, no fuss, this family owned business serves the freshest smoothies and açaí bowls! I was greeted by the lady in the picture and as soon as I ordered, she got to making everything for me, on the spot. I ordered a Mamma Mia açaí bowl and a The Best smoothie. She made everything in front of me so I knew it was fresh. All of her fruits looked so good, nothing rotten. The bowls and smoothies tasted as organic as possible. There's no added sugar (except for a drizzle of honey on the açaí bowl). This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you like things to be sweet but I thought it was really refreshing! The prices were fair and overall it was a good experience! :) read more

I came here with my girlfriends for something refreshing to fight this summer heat. The açaí bowls are so yummy- and I'm not a fan of açaí. I added mango, strawberries, bananas, all the goodies. My friend has the smoothie and it was incredible! This is definitely my new go to place in Van Nuys. It beats the generic Jamba Juice and Robeks. I highly recommend.

Recently been looking into juices due to trying to add more fruits and veggies in my diet after realizing that I hardly get any nutrients throughout my day. I have been feeling sluggish and foggy minded and physically felt that my body was lacking certain nutrients so one day in between work appointments I looked for a juice bar nearby and saw this little hole in the wall nearby. I was very excited because as soon as you walk in you see all the colorful fruits and veggies and there is a large variety of different types of pressed juices, smoothies, and health shots! My eyes were looking all over the place because they even have great juices for cleanses, detox, hangover cures, etc! As soon as I saw all these I was like yup I found my juice spot! The lovely woman saw me looking around and recommended me a house juice and showed me all the fruits and veggies that go into it and I was like yup that is just what I need! The juice was delicious, I felt more energetic that day and had felt my body thanking me for the nutrients I gave it. The parking here is done with meters. The trip is usually very quick so you could get away without putting quarters in the meters which is what I have done. Such a beautiful place and there is such comfort in this shop. A great hidden gem! 100/10 recommended! read more

History

Established in 2016.

Inspired by the documentary "Fat, sick and nearly dead", the owner of this location started drinking fresh juices to fight lupus. A month later, her symptoms were visibly reduced. Full of energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition, the owner decided to open up a business to reflect the idea of appreciating life through our nutrition. That's when the Bona Energia was born.

Meet the Business Owner: Yessica F.

My inspiration was born when I'm diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called lupus. one month later I'm started drinking fresh juices and my symptoms were visibly reduced.With full energy and having found a new appreciation for nutrition.

On a Saturday late afternoon, wandered the neighborhood searching for a matcha smoothie shop and a…read morepastry snack possibly. Twinty was open and located next to the Rachel and Rose bridal shop, where I purchased my summertime wedding dress, last year. They had exactly what I was searching for and a cozy, and very thoughtful neighborhood brunch spot. The service was super amicable and it's easily accessible, a short walk away. Also, since I started my micro-dose GlP1 journey to shed 15lbs. The tummy is super sensitive to high sugar, saturated fats, and unhealthy foodies. And Twinty has a menu that is both gentle and healthy. I appreciate that, esp bc foodies have become a more complex and specific palate lately, Will be back for another Matcha Smoothie, possibly today to start my day right. Thanks guys.

I wanted to try a new place out for lunch and my friend recommended Twinty Cafe! Upon arrival I…read morenoticed it's a dog friendly restaurant with a cute water bowl station for canines. 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.

This cafe is so cute.

Crave Cafe has been around for a while now I remember going way back during my college days. I…read morevisited recently and it was nice to see the place still had good business. I went on a Monday night and it was packed with people but the service was still quick. There were a lot of people with laptops studying or doing work so the ambiance is good enough to work here. They are also 24hrs so you can come any time for a meal or study time. I love the display of pastries they have they look really good and were hard to resist so I got one! I got the creme brulee and it was really yummy! My only complaint was that the bathroom couldve been cleaner, and the parking in the back smelled bad but I understand that the smell in the back isnt too much to their control considering the dumpster and perhaps homeless people. Overall a great cafe to visit in the valley!

I have been here 3 times in the past and surprisingly didn't do a review on them. Well, there is a…read morefirst time for everything. So here it goes. My friend had an early flight to catch, and we wanted to eat together before she took off to Burbank airport. We walked in on the 22nd of this month at exactly 7:35am, and were nicely greeted by Brian and another employee by the name of Carolina. Both were very nice, and somewhat helpful. Checked on us few times. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you get to choose whether or not you want to sit inside or outside. We chose to sit inside since it was still a little cold to sit outside. Place was very clean, and for it being open 24/7, there was no one inside the restaurant. It's a nice size restaurant along with another restaurant that sells sushi. Right inside/adjacent, separated by a wall. Unfortunately, it was closed due to renovation. Too bad, I wanted to get some sushi for later on. Brian, being a young, new employee took our order and needed some help from Carolina. He was working there for less than 5 months. We ordered a few things from their super extensive menu that practically has everything from A to Z. Not going to get too much into details, took a lot of pictures and you can see them for yourself. Got their Garden Omelette with: broccoli, green/yellow zucchini, tomato, Mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushrooms, comes with salad and I had asked for Ranch dressing, but they still put their Vinaigrette dressing which I don't like. (people don't listen well). I also asked for the Turkey bacon that it came with to be extra crispy. It was less than cooked, let alone crispy. Sent the plate back TWICE and still, bacon didn't come to our table crispy. Food was really fresh and delicious. Somewhat hot too. We also got their Crave Benedict, asked for the eggs to be over medium, and it came with poached eggs. Sides were Hash Browns and we asked for sautéed spinach instead of both-- the bacon and the ham. At this point, I was exhausted to correct their mistakes, and very hungry. Asked for the Hollandaise sauce to be on the side, and they didn't even bring the sauce. It also came with side of fruit. Sliced Oranges and Strawberries. Very fresh fruit. Eventually got the Spinach, but it was steamed. Not to forget to mention the Sourdough bread was way overly toasted. I also got their large hot Lavender Latte with Oat milk, made to perfection! Nice and hot. She stayed with water. As we were about to leave, I told Carolina to take the Benedict back, which was not even touched, She asked me "what's wrong with it"? I replied "EVERYTHING"! Instead, I ordered their Turkey Panini Sandwich with: lettuce, tomato, Mozzarella cheese, sprouts, with a touch of Pesto spread that also came with salad. It was just swapping the food. So there was only a $2.00 difference. It has 3 gender neutral restrooms. Used them twice and they were super clean. Has street parking and few spots in the back of the Cafe. It was all taped up with yellow tape, like some kind of a crime scene was happening. This place is overly rated. Not like the Crave Cafe in Studio City. That's all for now. Prices were affordable for the portions of their food.

I like this little juice / smoothie / salad place and I'm really happy that it's here in Van Nuys! Fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes, salads and frozen treats are a healthy alternative to fast-food in the area. I wish they would include fresh vegetable soups as well. Note to owner: Please do this! Freshly made veggie soups would be fantastic. My only criticism is that they have used overly ripe / already turned fruit / veggies on the salads or in a juice mix on a couple / few occasions (the radishes were brown, rotten and mushy, tomatoes were way over-ripe and mushy-kind of thing) which made the juice (or salad) pretty much inedible. I get the impression that the staff doesn't want to say that they are out of a particular ingredient so they will go ahead and use old veggies / fruit but I would much rather hear that they are temporarily OUT vs. handing over something that tastes bad / can't be consumed. That's not a regular-thing though. Really fabulous and healthy, fresh-pressed carrot / apple / beet juice with lemon is SO GOOD (or any of the seemingly infinite combinations available). read more

I'm so happy I finally stopped by this local smoothie spot! The lady working inside was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place was spotless, and I love that it's within walking distance of my apartment. They have an amazing selection of smoothies, protein options, detox juices, and so many healthy alternatives to choose from. I also tried the oatmeal, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and made with care. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a friendly atmosphere and great, healthy food and drinks. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a family owned business with a big smile and great attitude. Their prices are extremely low for the portion size. Can customize any order to your liking. They sell deli style sandwiches which are freshly made. The parfaits are healthy yet filling with a crunch that's addictive. They also have huge covered chocolate strawberries which are also delicious. Grab and go with a freshly made salad. And don't forget to grab a smoothie, freshly made juice, or an acai bowl to create a healthy meal for these hot summer days. read more

Whenever I feel hungry or I crave something cold I go to La Bona Energia for a fruit smothie, something that feels me up and is specially refreshing in those hot days in the valley.

I have been to this juice spot a couple times now. Jonathan goes above and beyond to understand what it is you need. Just two weeks ago, I had a horrible stomach ache and he recommended a beet based juice that helped me heal. No artificial sugars are added it's simply just a blend of the right fruits and vegetables. I highly recommend this place, you won't regret it. Worth every penny! read more
