The good: açaí bowls are good (not amazing). The same for smoothies and juices. The bad: service is not great. They take forever to attend you and more so to make your order. I've been here several times and my experience was the same. Needless to say that if someone else opened an açaí bowl and juice place with halfway decent customer service this place would lose all its business. Sigh....I really had high hopes for this place. read more

So glad about this addition to Alameda. So far I've tried every açaí bowl , a smoothie , a juice and the shots. I will be stopping by everyday for something ...... read more

The Charlie was awesome. The cookie really works well with the acaí bowl, especially when having it during the winter. I would recommend it if you tend to get brain freezes easily, or just want a healthy (cough.. cough) dessert. read more

Main Squeeze is my new favorite place! Ordered a delicious açaí bowl, Oasis (açaí, guarana, banana topped with granola, banana, strawberries, seasonal fruit, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and honey). Such beautiful flavors in my mouth! Prices are reasonable and service is great. Will definitely be coming here again and again read more

They custom made a strawberry banana mango smoothie for me with coconut milk and coconut flakes and it was so insanely delicious I had to have two in one day (the first was at their other location in Oakland, which was equally good). Expensive, but worth it! Parking is a challenge at both locations. read more

Such mixed feelings. This was not my favorite açaí bowl by a long shot, but I was very grateful they were open. We drove 40+ minutes each way because we were craving açaí and aren't fans of vitality bowls. We only ate about half of each of our bowls and then tossed them. My son didn't drink his smoothie. Sort of a waster. We'll be back to Project Juice as soon as they reopen. read more

I purchased an açaí bowl, and it was practically liquid.It was hotter inside the building, than it was outside during the heat wave. And to top it all off, there was this older lady working behind the counter and she didn't even have a mask on!!! How could they allow that. It's selfish and unacceptable during these times. read more

Yummy food and friendly customer service, even their Main Squeeze Truck is good. Love, having the truck in Lodi.

SO HAPPY to actually have a healthy place like this with açaí bowls and smoothies, freshly made, in Alameda! (So glad not southshore ) Super happy for Park St location! Their açaí bowls are so good! It's a must have! Let's help keep them on the island!! read more

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

Bomb organic juice spot. Love that they source their produce locally - literally right next door! I have yet to try their smoothies and açaí bowls, but the juice has got THE JUICE. The pairings are complementary. I ordered Cool Earth, and my guy added in some pineapple to sweeten it. Typically, I find kale unbearable, but this was so good! Hush hush: it isn't on the menu, but they offer 32 oz for $15 (joog), which especially saved me during this time cause I don't have the patience to wait in a line 6 feet from people - every minute just risking getting the rona - just to go get some produce from the grocery. Come here, get your juice, your nutrients, stay healthy, stay safe. So easy! read more

I love the açaí bowls and wellness shots!! They also have fresh juices and smoothies made to order that are also super delish. Definitely the spot to stop at for your healthy fix. 10 out of 10!!! read more

Main Squeeze was a 10/10! Definitely needed in Alameda due to Jamba Juice being overrated. I have a flight in two days and I am running with the cold so I got the ginger wellness shot and the citrus drink. Both were very tangy and spicy but it did the job and I am feeling much better. Staff was really sweet and recommended me on what I should order. read more

I love this place so much! Not only is the entire set up so welcoming and aesthetically pleasing, but it's always sparkly, squeaky clean. I highly recommend the Oasis bowl, it's my personal favorite. Even though it can get busy on weekends, the employees are always working so hard and getting things done in a timely manner while still making quality smoothies, juices and bowls. Last but not least, the fruit is always fresh! read more

Ahhh was so tired of having to leave the island for good acai, and really excited for this place to open since I saw the "Main Squeeze" sign put up a few weeks ago. Apparently they've been open for about four days now, so they're still working on final touches. e.g., the "grab and go" refrigerator wasn't stocked while we were there. They also seemed to be slightly confused with whether we ordered or not, but I'm hoping that next time we return they'll have worked out these kinks. We'll see! But in the meantime, extra points to them for opening up near Park Street rather than South Shore. I ordered the "beleza" bowl for $8. The acai tasted quite watery, unfortunately, though the fruit was fresh. I've been to their Oakland location a few times and it was really delicious there.. so yeah, hoping they work out the details. On a positive note, the wait wasn't bad at all. The people are super friendly, so I'm happy to support their business if the acai improves. read more

First time trying the one here in Alameda , both ladies super friendly , I asked about the whole menu and they helped me pick the right drink , quick and delicious ! Only thing I would suggest is putting up a banner or one of those flags with the store name because it's kind of tucked in doesn't stand out enough to catch people's attention read more

I ordered the Beleza without guarana and instead replaced it with coconut water because I am pregnant. The bowl was the perfect amount to eat and there was a good ratio of sliced fruits/granola/acai. I removed 2 stars because I found the service to be really slow. From the time I walked in and walked out, it took 20 minutes to place my order and walk out. My order is just a chop up bananas and throw everything together type of thing. Meanwhile, two other people who came in after me got their smoothies and shots before me. Other people walked in, waited and were not immediately helped. Also, I watched one of the workers go from cash register, to touching her hair, to holding the paper cups with her bare hands, where her fingers touched the inside of a multiple cups as she picked them up to fill them with acai then moved them back into the refrigerator. In other words, she came into contact using bare hands with the inside of cups to be served later twice and I saw her touch her hair two times. I am not sure if I'd return again. read more

I just love love this place. My kids and I love the Maca Mana (without them honey). I always get an acai bowl without the honey, and it's delicious. They are so nice at this place, and I love supporting somewhere locally owned and operated. The rest of this review is from my 10 year old daughter: I loooooooooooooooooooove the maca mana soooooooooooo much. I think that it is the best thing that they have. (with honey). I don't like the açaí bowls though. BEST SMOOTHIE PLACE IN ALAMEDA AND GREAT SERVICE, FOOD, AND PEOPLE. I HOPE THEY STAY OPEN read more

Delicious! We head over here all the time for acai bowls and just love them. The customer service is minimal but honestly, good price, easy to get in and out of, and hey, super stoked to have something fresh and healthy for a quick dinner on the island. Thanks for being here! read more

Wow! Not only was this a great açaí bowl, the staff is amazing! A nice young man I believe named john helped me out and was so friendly! He recommended the alpha bowl and it was amazing! Super clean and nice location with nice outdoor seating. I would recommend this place 100%! Nicer here than the Oakland location. Cute views of alameda! read more

i absolutely LOVE açaí bowls and will stop to order one almost every time i see a restaurant or truck selling them. i've been having some appetite issues and thought one of my favorite foods may help things along. i stopped by during the week and things were starting to get busy. the service was pretty quick and everyone was super friendly. i ordered the beleza bowl which i feel is a pretty standard offering for açaí bowls (açaí base, granola, strawberries, bananas, and honey) but it was exactly what i was looking for. i did like the fact that they use guarana, which i'd never seen before. it was absolutely delicious! portion size was pretty good and the price was reasonable for the area ($8). luckily, there is another main squeeze closer to home (in oakland) so i don't have to trek to alameda for my fix. my only nitpick was that i would have preferred an unsweetened granola. it's not worth deducting a star - just personal preference. give them a shot! read more

Super delicious açaí bowls! I loved the Oasis! Bursting with fruit and granola, not skimpy like other açaí bowls that are basically just smoothies. Service is fast too! Highly recommend. read more

Great spot to get a juice. Super nice and clean. Great options for both juices and smoothies at good prices.

Got the Beleza bowl and it was really good! Very basic bowl with strawberries and banana, but the açaí was great and it hit the spot. Also liked the granola, though I think it would be even better if there were smaller pieces rather than chunks. But that's just a personal preference. Glad I found this spot! read more

I doubt you can beat the quality of their smoothies, for they use real organic fruit at a very affordable price.

This place is very good!!! Excellent consumer service and delicious fruits bowls...the only think is at little Spencer..

So excited to finally have a acai/juice place on the Island! Great options for acai bowls and fresh juices. There is a small outdoor patio which is nice. This place just opened so they are probably working out some kinks.... very slow service, possibly understaffed. read more

I loved this place since the first time I tried their juices. Never had a bad experience and their menu has lots of options. Recently it's been very disappointing to show up to enjoy a juice after work and the business is "closed". Reason why I wrote "closed" is because I've shown up multiple times around 5:35-5:45pm(can't show up earlier because of work) and the business is closed while workers are still in there or as I'm about to walk in I'm told that they're closed when it's supposed to close at 6. I understand workers are trying to leave early or as soon as the business close but if that's the case they should adjust their hours of operation. Not sure if it's new employees but I've never had this issue before when I've shown up at 5:57 and I still received service. Again, not trying to bash the business but I take time out of my day after work to come support a local business and do my best to show up before its closing time but I'm told they're closed when employees are still inside. I wouldn't be leaving this review if this has happened once or twice and it's been multiple times recently. Unfortunately I can't show up earlier but I do my best to make it on time. Again, if you're going to close early, please adjust your operational hours that way it's not misleading for customers. read more

I've been here quite a few times now. I've gotten açaí bowls, smoothies AND juices and nothing has ever disappointed me. The quality is always consistent which is a must for me and the staff friendly. Also super easy to customize if you want ingredients added or left out. read more

I am so happy this place opened up! I really liked the menu. The service was prompt and the staff was friendly.

So happy to have this place in Alameda! Delicious fruit smoothies my favorites are the Carmen Miranda smoothie and Oasis açaí bowl! Owner and employees are all super friendly. read more

I maybe in here a little more than I should but that just goes to show how great this place is! The outside patio area is always nice and clean as well as the inside. The employees here are great, sweet & always friendly. The owner is also a very nice guy that's consistent with making sure you're enjoying the drink you got and is even willing to accommodate if you didn't. The açaí bowls are also so good. Decent prices, amazing drinks & an awesome experience. read more

Their juices and smoothies are decent. However, the biggest issue is that it is 8:16 AM and there are no signs of any employees, which is common for this business, it's never open on time. A suggestion to the owner, change your hours of operation to a later time so your employees are on time OR, find employees that care about punctuality. If you're planning on grabbing a quick healthy breakfast, go somewhere else. read more

I always enjoy coming to this particular branch, both are good (the other being located at Lake Shore) but this location is just so well rounded. The workers are so nice and attentive, even if I'm not buying and just walking by they smile and greet me. The fruit bowls are amazing, I love all the healthy choices! The outdoor seating and indoor is just spacious enough to relax and get a lovely view of Park street while enjoying any of their items on the menu. I love coming here and bringing my friends over to try their bowls, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Its good for any time, new to the area,strolling on park street,warm day... Just great. read more

The Turmeric Shot was great. And the smoothies are delish. I will be coming back for more and sharing with my friends. The owner is super nice and the employees were very sweet. read more

This place has so much potential for modern healthy greatness. I was so excited to see that there was a Juicery in Alameda. Alameda is behind the times in Offering progressive healthy food,and I thought finally they're catching up to the rest of urban communities. This place falls short in a big way. Their selections offer contradictions in intentions. For example, they offer fresh organic juices On the one hand, while on the other hand they offer Sargento pre packed lunch meats, and hard boiled eggs in plastic? They need a couple of health minded hippies as consultants. They miss the mark sadly on the Opportunity to offer hip and cool and healthy snacks. They did have coconut yogurt as a snack but the rest of it I wouldn't want my kids to eat during their lunch break at Alameda high which appears they're trying to make money during the lunch break selling starchy snacks like plasticky pasta salads and carbon heavy Sandwiches with lunchmeat, process lunch meats unknown carcinogenic. Alameda needs a healthy juice place that offers a comprehensive healthy progressive menu. read more

Fast and good service with staff that is knowable about the drinks.

Although the bowls and juices are delicious, the customer service is horrible. The woman who primarily works at the Alameda location is always rude. The Oakland location is much better with customer service read more

I am so bummed about having to write this review, but the lady who made my smoothie could not stop coughing, and clearly had a bad cold. She wore gloves, but she should have been wearing a mask too, or better yet at home resting. I know its hard to run a small operation with just a few workers, but this was unacceptable. I am stupid to not have asked for my money back. Now I feel a cold coming on. It may or may not be from her, I will never know, but I definitely will not be going back. This place needs to get their act together. Very unsanitary. Let your workers stay home when they are sick. read more
