WHEN: Sunday @Noon After my super short run and long walk, I felt it was time to give this place a try. I was excited! I wanted to try one of their açaí bowl, so here's what I chose: OASIS BOWL - $10 Açaí, Banana, Guarana topped with Granola, Seasonal Fruit, Coconut Flakes, Chia Seeds & Honey. Açaí is a berry that looks like a grape and grows on the acai palm tree, which is native to Brazilian rainforests. So in an açaí bowl, you will find on the bottom, the açaí mashed into a smoothie, and then topped with fruits and other ingredients. The one I had was pretty darn refreshing and good--it was like a dessert I earned after my run--but a healthy one! This place is cute--seatings both indoors and out, and the staff is quite friendly! I know I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Main Squeeze - OASIS BOWL - $10 - Açaí, Banana, Guarana topped with Granola, Seasonal Fruit, Coconut Flakes, Chia Seeds & Honey. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

After going through an açaí craving this week. The main squeeze could easily become a weekly stop in my day to day planning. The shop is small but parking is relatively easy to get to with both street and a parking area a few hundred meters away. The women working today were emitting this calm tone and it felt very welcoming. In ordering an açaí bowl, I liked the options you could chose from and customization was easy when we needed to leave out a specific item. The oasis was calling my name and still is after consumption. Yes $10 is a lot for a snack however the fresh fruit, huge coconut strips and honey drizzle elevated it beyond other places that do frozen fruit and leave out the extras. It had so many perfect bites that I wanted another as soon as possible. The oasis itself has amazing flavor and allowing for the "in season" add of fruit (either pineapple or blueberry) really made the experience personal read more

YUM!!! I had brunch with a friend at cinema grill and was a craving some fresh juice after having a few mimosas I got a kale drink with blueberries and it was really good! The staff is super friendly and was knowledgeable when I had questions about the drinks. It's right next to a lot of other shops, so if you're in the area I would definitely stop by! read more

This is one of their newer locations. I usually go to the one in Oakland on Lakeshore Avenue. Price wise, this place beats all the other açaí spots I've been to...and I've been to quite a few. I usually order the Beleeza Bowl (pretty sure I spelled that wrong). It's only $7 but it's filling. Their açaí base also has the right consistency, texture, and flavor. This location wasn't as busy as the one on Lakeshore normally is. I was helped by the owner. He seemed a little tied up on a phone call so I waited before ordering. He whipped the bowl up really fast and later asked me if everything was ok. There's a countertop to sit and eat with stool chairs. I'm a regular here because of the price and the quality. I definitely recommend giving it a try. Tip the employees - I think they need a little encouraging and sometimes they get swamped but they don't complain. It's not super warm and friendly here, but they are courteous and positive. One time I got there just before they closed and they were happy to take my order. Keep juicin'! read more

delicious and filling açaí bowls! recommend if you're looking for a new healthy spot to try out! read more

great place to get a juice! great to have somewhere else to go than jamba juice - their food options are also far superior! love the brazil influence. read more

The food is good, nothing super special about their acai bowls. I like the Oasis bowl. The bowls are better than the smoothies in my opinion. This is probably the only spot in Alameda if you want an acai bowl not unless you want to hit Jamba Juice. The service is quick and you won't be waiting long. They accept phone orders and are usually done within 10 minutes. The ambiance is what you would think if you are going to a juice/smoothie shop. There's a parking lot next door however that lot can get full at times so you'll find yourself circling the block until you can find parking. read more

Friendly staff with good customer service. Only issue with their bowls are that the Açaí to toppings ratio is off :( Can I get some Açaí topping with my granola and fruit? read more

Main Squeeze - Dessert Açaí bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

This place exceeded my expectations! I usually stay away from açaí bowls since most places add so much sugar it's like a sorbet. They have a more traditional style and use a much superior product and it goes so well with the delish granola and other toppings. Not overly sweetened and the toppings were SO GOOD! I got the alpha bowl and added cacao nibs because I just love that crunchy hint of chocolate! Ordered contactless delivery via Uber eats! I've had the juices and smoothies too which are always great. Had to share my first bowl! read more

Main Squeeze - Alpha bowl + cacao nibs. Love the compostable packaging! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

Staying healthy is hard to do, but when there is an amazing spot like Mainsqueeze right around the corner, I never manage to get too far off track. The juices and smoothies are organic (which I love) and come in a wide array of flavors that are exotic, yet, straightforward and satisfying. If I'm in the mood for something more elaborate I simply add from one of their many 'enhancer' options to spice it up a little. Their açai bowls are absolutely delicious as well and full of superfood goodness, just looking at one makes me feel better about all my life decisions ! They are beautiful and delicious. No, but seriously, this modern and fresh juice spot is a much needed addition to Alameda's culinary scene and I'm so happy to have them here to frequent a couple times a week. read more

Quaint, welcoming shop with many healthy offerings. Pleasant customer service. Simply delicious and happy to call it my favorite smoothie place in the Bay Area! read more

Great smoothies! Friendly staff. Really dumb that they don't open until 9am. I'd stop here every morning for a smoothie on my way to work if they opened up at 8am. read more

Wonderful delicious smoothie. I'll be back. I had not eaten all day @ had just come from a dentist's appointment. It was perfect

Love this place!! Great place to stop for a healthy recharge! Everything is delicious! read more

Main Squeeze - Oasis bowl and Essential Greens smoothie! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

My favorite place for açaí bowls. I never usually finish mine but if they're from Main Squeeze, I'll easily eat the whole thing. Not only are their fruits super fresh, their açaí puree tastes delicious as you can really taste the açaí flavor. The granola adds the perfect texture in there and the honey drizzle provides just enough sweetness to tie it all together. Great place for a snack or even a healthy dessert!! Prices are great with the huge portions they give you. read more

Main Squeeze - The Beleza bowl: Strawberries, bananas, granola, açaí at the bottom. Honey drizzle on top! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

Thankful we have a fresh juice and acai bowl location here in Alameda. I will say that I wish they would skim some foam/froth when making your juice. When you pay $8.50 for a 16oz drink, and 1/5 of your cup is froth you feel a little jipped. There's going to be froth with high speed juicing ( more than vs. crushing) but you end up with more than $1 worth of froth. Regardless, I will be back and glad to have you here. read more

Main Squeeze - Leafy Love - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

Great juice place in downtown alameda. There is a parking lot close to the area if you have a hard time finding street parking. This place is small and has a short but great menu. They serve juices, smoothies and açaí bowls. They also do wellness shots and have various superfood toppings you can add to your order. I got the cool earth juice and my friend got the heart beet juice. I also got the ginger wellness shot that comes with a slice of pineapple as a chaser. The ginger shot was no joke. It was super spicy and potent but I felt like it did my body good. The pineapple slice was much needed afterwards. The ginger burn stayed with me for a couple minutes. I really liked my cool earth juice. It was refreshing and not overly sweet. I loved the fruit and veggie combination. read more

This was my first time at Main Squeeze. I love açaí bowls so I was extremely excited when I heard about one opening in Alameda. I spent about $9. I just got the Beleza bowl. I added bee pollen for an extra fee. After I paid, and they gave me the bowl, there was no bee pollen. So I had to ask "is the bee pollen under the granola". She said no and didn't seem to happy I brought it up. I would rate the bowl a 6/10 Texture was not that great. I love thicker açaí, but it had too much liquid. Maybe I'll give it a second chance and try one of these days. read more

I was hoping to give rave reviews as one thing I love is açaí bowls. The bowl was about 1/2 way filled (included toppings) and the acai was really watery liquidy runny not a slight frozen thicker...like a melted acai bowl you kept in the fridge. Pretty disappointed of $12 spent read more

I am all for healthy options on our island and was so happy to hear that we were getting a new juice bar! Even better, a juice bar with multiple açai bowl options. They have a nice seating area outside when weather allows and plenty of bar style seating inside as well. I came here before seeing a movie across the street and had a green juice to take with me. service was extremely friendly by a young gentleman and prices are quite reasonable. read more

I've waited a long time for Alameda to get a juice bar/acai bowl place! Visited here on a Saturday morning and this place was poppin'. Everyone was out getting their juice or acai bowl fix. I am a little overdue on writing this review so hopefully they fixed this but it looked like they were a bit understaffed the morning I went. I don't think they knew how popular they'd be in this town! Either way, I was pumped to have an acai spot nearby so I was willing to wait to try! My husband and I both ordered acai bowls. Our initial reaction was that it was tasty! However, the acai bowls were a little more liquidy than we liked and melted super fast so we were kinda bummed. I'm down to give this place another chance - maybe try one of their juices next time! read more

I bought a açaí bowl today, put it in a thermal bag and took it home. These people can't even get the right size of the lids? The lid wasn't closing tightly. All loose. It spilled all over the place. In a thermal bag. Threw away the whole thing. read more

Main Squeeze - Spilled all over the bag because the lid wasn't the right size. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alameda, California

Delicious smoothies and açaí bowls! My favorite açaí bowl is the Alpha. Super thick and creamy with great toppings. The bowls are usually packed to the top and the portion is worth the price of $10. I'm very picky with açaí bowls but this place is the best! The price might seem high but it's definitely worth the money and reasonably priced for what you're getting. Also, they are very fast. I'll be in and out within 5 minutes, 10 minutes at most if it's busy. read more

I love Main Squeeze!! My favorite is the Maca Mama. They consistently use the best quality of fruits and I'm never disappointed. Great service and drinks! Can't wait to try more items this is definitely my go-to spot --- BTW this açaí bowl is huge!!! So much goodness for a great price! $10!?! In SF I'd pay double! read more

This is my favorite smoothie place and go to place on a hot day. I will make the 20 min drive every time. The smoothies are very refreshing and have a perfect consistency. Not super thick or watery. I have only had the smoothies but the açaí bowls look very tasty as well. I have not been able to find another smoothie place where the smoothies are not overly sugary or have a bunch of juices or sherbet. I've tried the Carmen Miranda, Essential Green but Tripikale takes first every time. The lady there is very sweet and kind. I call in often and place an order for pick up since there is only street parking. I always grab and go but there is a seating area inside and a few tables outside. read more

Super friendly and kind service! Excellent, healthy juices, smoothies and my favorite smoothie bowl. Plant-based, organic as much as they can, and low sugar. Enjoy! read more

Perfect place to get a healthy snack after a great morning workout. I tried two of the acai bowls and although they were great, I would say it is a little overpriced. They weren't the best acai bowls I've ever had and they were not that large. Service was also pretty slow. I could definitely make something at home for a better price but this is more convenient at times. read more

Great smoothie and açaí bowl spot! The cashier was very nice and let us sample what she had made to help us decide on a smoothie. Very yummy and satisfied. Would go again! read more

Horrible customer service EVERY time I come into this establishment. The employees always look and act unhappy to be there and all around just lack quality customer service. The last time I went in there was the last time I will ever be back-I asked to have almond butter blended into my açaí bowl,(such a huge deal apparently), and over heard the two girls who were creating my açaí bowl making fun of me and straight up talking shit! Wth! I always came here to support a local business, but with such awful employees I will be glad to take my money elsewhere. Food is average. Better off going to Jamba Juice, at least the people there are somewhat pleasant. read more

Poor steps to help prevent COVID. Long wait times, the açaí had plastic, and it was melted. Also seemed like the employees were tired, and didn't want to be there. Poorly run business from what it looks likes. read more

Staff was very helpful,professional and patient with me as I made up my mind, the girl who took my order was helpful and very polite and referred me items depending my mood or taste at the moment, I'm definitely coming back. read more

This is what I call a juice bar & real smoothie place. Raw whole fruits and veggies going into my drink. I can literally see them putting turmeric, bee pollen, or what ever floats your boat... they got it. Highly recommend this place to anyone. From the new juicers to the highly experienced. So happy this business is at my doorstep. read more

Walked in, friendly greeting from 2 girls. I was allowed to bring my dog, great! I was quite excited about this and got the essential greens. I walked out to sit with my dog and he got water. The $6 drink was half ice and half the ingredients. Spoiler alert, we can buy these ingredients and more for $6 at trader's joes with good blender and reusable bottle. What I am saying is extremely overpriced. It is like jumbo juice, exactly! There is seemingly no difference with the size $2 more. It is the COVID-19, people out of jobs but I like to support my local businesses that are at least reasonable if not excellent. This drink watered down my money. It should be $3-4. Shots are 3.50 for cup sample. Kid me not. I will try to mix these ingredients at home with YouTube. I might come again and ask for "no ice" when heavy pocket. read more

Just ok, I think the quality is subpar and often more toppings than actual acai. Given the price point and comparable to other acai places, this place does not have the right ratio of acai to toppings and the toppings are pretty basic. I would not come back here again. read more

Honestly, I came for a juice but they were out. I ended up getting an açaí bowl instead. For $8 you'd think you'd get a better açaí to fruit ratio. It tasted great, though! read more

perfect place to grab a yummy smoothie or acai bowl on a hot day. the tropikale and alpha bowl are a MUST! :-) you can sit outside on their patio or do take out. the space feels very clean and i'll be back here for another smoothie. thanks main squeeze! read more

I ordered an oasis bowl from them, and wanted to take it home and eat, they ran out of lid and didn't let me know ahead of time, like what kind of customer service is that, during this period everyone is doing to go and delivery, do you want to get an açaí bowl delivery without a lid, just exposed to everything? I said okay to the staff, obviously she was not on point with her work. I won't go back again. read more

Delicious açaí bowl. Little too pricey but I guess it's to be expected for a small business in alameda.

Delicious, fresh tasting smoothies and bowls. The fruity fresh and carmen miranda smoothies are my go to's. Way better than Jamba Juice. This location is slightly larger compared to the Oakland Lakeshore location. They have big windows which brings in a lot of amazing natural lighting and they also have a wonderful seating area surrounded by pretty plants. Right next to a cute little grocery shop and a fruit stand out front. Make sure to get you a loyalty stamp card to get you a free smoothie! read more
