Melrose Squeeze is my go-to stop every time I'm thrifting on Melrose. Whether I need a smoothie to…read morecool down or a quick healthy snack between shops, this is always my first choice. You can genuinely taste the difference here because everything is made fresh to order with real ingredients. None of the artificial, overly sweet stuff you get at chain smoothie places. I love that they don't add sugar, so the natural flavors of the fruit actually shine through. Every smoothie I've had has been consistently delicious. The owner is also one of the sweetest people you'll meet. He's been running this little shop for years, and you can tell how much love and care goes into everything they make. It's the kind of small family-owned business that makes Melrose feel special, and I always leave happier than when I walked in. If you're shopping on Melrose, skip the big chains and stop here instead. Great smoothies, fresh ingredients, kind people, and supporting a local mom-and-pop business is always a win. I recommend this place to everyone!

Melrose Squeeze absolutely exceeded expectations…read more We stopped in after a morning out in Los Angeles hiking Runyon Canyon and were blown away. The smoothies were some of the best I've had in LA -- incredibly fresh, balanced, and flavorful. We tried the Tony Special, the Melrose Special, and the Coconut Cardamom, and each one was fantastic in its own way. What made the experience even better was the service. Vahe, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. He made us feel right at home and clearly takes pride in what he serves, giving us a few free samples of his favorite items! We also had wheatgrass shots for our friend Nando's mother, who is visiting Los Angeles from Portugal for the first time -- and it was such a fun, memorable experience for her. Fresh ingredients, amazing smoothies, and exceptional hospitality. We'll absolutely be back.

I walked here yesterday morning for an Acai bowl, really looking forward to it…read more The environment is clean and reminded me of a Pharmaca, but holy crap the music was LOUD. No one said hello to me when I walked in despite there being no other customers. The man behind the desk watched me read the menu and served someone else who knew what they wanted. No problem. I said hello, how are you when I stepped up but he didn't respond, waiting to take my order. (No one behind me but I got the message this guy doesn't do small talk.) So, I ordered an Acai bowl and I'm pretty sure I paid $2.50 extra for peanut butter on the top. I asked if I could have the bowl to go to which he responded with an air of annoyance that all the plastic bowls have lids. "Do you have bags?" I asked. "I'm walking," I explained. "Yes we have bags but you have to ask us for them when your order is done because when we just give them people change their mind and stay." Ummmm ok there is no line, I already know I'm not staying cause this bad music is too loud and I'm not into night club decibel music at 9 am but cool cool cool. Acai bowl is ready in a few minutes and the lovely young woman asks if I want a bag. Yes please, I'm walking. Bye. I walk all the way home and open the bowl to realize I've been duped. I have paid $17.00 plus a small tip ( he was after all, rude) for a bowl of Acai. There is one blueberry, a few slices of banana, no shredded coconut to speak of, about a tablespoon of granola (I asked for half) and the worst offense of all- the most meager drizzle of peanut butter they should have just not bothered. I'm not even sure what else this was supposed to have in it because all I did was eat and taste Acai. And did I really pay extra for a teaspoon of peanut butter? I know the rent here must be insane but sheesh, how about serving a decent Acai bowl to justify the price. Put the ingredients advertised in it please. Thanks.

I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings. There's a fancy French market in there and plenty of eating options (though open hours vary). Come by this historic stop, walk through the Grove, and enjoy the hustle and bustle!

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Unique, historical shopping and dining complex. Huge selection of…read morehigh-quality food, from meat and vegetables to prepared foods to fine dining. A great experience for locals and tourists alike. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the West of the Grove. It has busy parking lot which is usually quite full. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $56 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Make sure you check the parking rates sign by the entrance and plan accordingly. You can also park in the Grove's multi-story parking structure, but they will not accept validation from Farmer's Market businesses. The Grove also has Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice rustic but well-kept open air set up that has been around for almost 100 years! It is focused on local and international food. As you stroll through the market you will encounter gourmet food stores (such as Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Store), meat counters (such as Huntington Meats), takeout restaurants (such as Stara Polish Pierogi and Sausage, Banana Leaf Singaporean restaurant and Oh My Dumpling Chinese food), and fine dining restaurants (such as ETTORE OSTERIA Italian and Monsieur Marcel French Bistro). Once you are on premises you can use the Grove trolly to visit the (attached) Grove complex.
