Main Squeeze - Chocolate Thunda was delicious! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

LA summer weather definitely calls for a smoothie place like this one. Everytime I have passed this small shop, line out the door and I can tell why. Staff was super friendly and helpful in assisting customers with suggestions. One thing to note was that I saw a handful of bee's in the small space which kind of made me really think to myself wow there must be really clean ingredients and fruits being used. My only complaint really was that even though the ordering process was very fast, the wait for two smoothies exceeded 15 minutes around noon on a weekday. I understand there was only two staff members but two drinks with added whey protein for $30 shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Appreciate the hospitality, fun drinks, unsure that I will be back though. read more

I was extremely disappointed with my experience. We waited nearly an hour for our smoothies, which is completely unacceptable, especially considering how expensive they are. When I finally got mine, it tasted almost entirely like almond butter, completely overpowering the other ingredients. I also have a food allergy, and instead of taking it seriously, the staff acted like my request was an inconvenience. That was frustrating and made me feel uncomfortable ordering, especially when allergies should always be handled with care. What was even more concerning was the cleanliness. There were bees everywhere--flying around the kitchen, landing on food, and even on the staff while they were preparing orders. It made the entire experience feel unsanitary, and after seeing that, it's not surprising their health inspection grade is a B. Between the excessive wait, overpriced smoothies, poor quality, the dismissive attitude toward food allergies, and the concerning sanitation issues, I won't be returning or recommending this place. read more

Really fluffy smoothies!! So so thick That's why I came, because they literally looked like ice cream Strawberry banana was my favorite! Green monster was eh. It's one of their popular items, I was looking forward to the mint, but wasn't what I expected. The chocolate one was okay. Had peanut butter, definitely overwhelming with the cinnamon. Unsure If it's worth the price. Parking was not the best and be mindful Santa Monica has parking police working 24/7. Saw a parking police roll around the block while I was waiting the whole 40 mins I was there! There's a small parking lot right next to the restaurant right down the driveway but only 2 spots!!! Definitely took longer than I thought. Small restaurant, a lot of people were waiting, felt a little squished. Only 3 workers and I can say about over 30 people came within the 40 mins I was there. So a lot of smoothies with only 3 people. I have a fear of bees, and they left the door open and honestly I saw 3 bees fly into the restaurant. Maybe it's normal with organic smoothies places and such, but still a little frightening to see those bees land on the mixers and tables they were using. Cute place, hard working employees, but the taste of the smoothies were just not up my alley. It only gets a 4 because it's not horrible. The employees are doing their best and the smoothies are okay, they're just not my type of smoothie. They need to hire more people because the wait is definitely not worth it! read more

visit date ; may 24 i heard about this place throughout tik tok & had to check them out. just the way the smoothie looks makes you wanna take a drive. i came on the weekends in the early mornings and surprisingly there was no line. their was only one person working so it took some time for my smoothie to be made but that was fine. i don't remember the smoothie i got but it was really good. it was perfectly balanced & not too sweet. i really like the thickness of the smoothie. overall my experience, main squeeze felt like any other smoothie shop. read more

The line looked pretty short but don't be fooled. It was still an hour and a half wait. An hour to order and another 30 minutes to get your smoothie after you order. We got the strawberry banana, tropical and green one. The tropical was definitely my favorite. But I feel like I could've made them at home. The consistency of the smoothie was thicker and creamer, so that was amazing. But it was just good. I'd never wait that long for them again. read more

I stopped by Main Squeeze on Wednesday around 11:00 AM and ordered the Green Monster. Honestly, the smoothie itself is a 5-star experience--it is packed full of nutrition and clean ingredients, but somehow tastes just like ice cream! It's the perfect balance of feeling healthy while getting a treat. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the wait time. It took about 20 minutes to get my order, which felt a bit long for a mid-morning weekday. That being said, the quality of the drink makes it worth it. I'll definitely be back, but I might try to order ahead next time! read more

I should've known better than to come on MDW. We arrived at the store around 2:25 and saw the sign that says cut off for orders was 2:30. However, the line kept moving and it seemed like the cash register was taking orders still. Once we were in the front we noticed the line paused and the lady at the register hopped on the blenders and started making drinks. The girl upfront who was by the register looked confused and wanted to order. Nothing was communicated to the folks in line. And everyone assumed maybe the cashier jumped on the blenders to help with getting the smoothies out and then would take orders again. Then people in the back of the line started asking if they were still taking orders when the other guy on the blenders kicked everyone who was waiting in line out. Literally yelled at all of us to leave. I get wanting to close early on MDW or having a cut off but the person at the register should've just told the girl who was about to order the line is cut off. Rather than just not saying anything at all. And then the store owner getting angry and kicking everyone out. 2 stars cause I like their smoothies. But man the customer service is not great here. They really don't care. read more

We waited about 1hr 30mins on a Sunday around 12pm, the line didn't seem that crazy long but it seems like there were only maybe 3 people working and probably every single customer was ordering smoothies so it took a while to accomodate. For me personally, I enjoyed the smooth texture, it seems like the base was mainly frozen bananas to achieve it. But, I think the creamier flavors paired better and were more enjoyable that way. I got what I was hoping to be more like a green smoothie but it came out creamier than I had hoped. Maybe some would like that but it wasn't for me. Love supporting family owned businesses, they do indeed make great smoothies and I'm sure their other menu items are great as well, however maybe just wait for the hype to die down, I don't think it's truly worth that long of a wait read more

Came back to give it another chance. The cashier lady was very nice and apologetic for the past bad experience. This time we came back on a Friday afternoon and it was not too crowded. There was line but not too bad. So finally we got to try the smoothies. We tried açaí and strawberry field smoothies and both were amazing!!! It's definitely up the hype. So good and the size was very big too. So the price was very worth it! It's much better than erewhon smoothies. read more

Main Squeeze - Acai Smoothie and Strawberry Fields smoothie - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Honestly I loved the smoothie! It was really tasty and very thick which I liked. I also believe the price point of about $13 is fair because you get a lot of smoothie and it's not a bad price at all compared to places like erewhon and this is a much better smoothie, but it's still too much! Lol We were only able to drink half of it. The worst part is the wait for it, it takes very long to get the smoothie and it's very small inside so you have to wait outside too. If you're in a rush and want a quick smoothie I would avoid but if you want to try and are willing to wait make sure you aren't busy and go try it! I think it's worth it. read more

Main Squeeze - Pina & Coconut and Strawberry Fields - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

They've earned the hype. The drinks are so good and with add ons and tip it was still cheaper than erewhon smoothies haha. I got the chocolate smoothie and I really like that they used cinnamon in it, it added a nice flavor! Largest con is going to be the wait time. I was lucky to go when there was no wait to order but it still took 25 minutes to get my drink. It makes sense when you watch how much work goes into each drink. I don't mind waiting, there are plenty of cute shops around to explore while you wait so it doesn't affect my rating. The employees were very kind and I applaud them for their non stop smoothie work. read more

Knew there'd be a wait, but had to pay for my parking meter twice! 30 minutes at a time and got back to my car right when my time ended.. that means 1 full hour of waiting! They told me 20-25 minute wait when I ordered. I was hoping the drink made the wait worth it, but it was just eh okay though.. way too sweet read more

The best, perfect smoothie texture. We got the strawberry and it didn't disappoint. They lose a star because we waited 40 minutes for it and there was only 3 people in front of us. read more

It's good. Is it the best smoothie I've ever had? No. but the hype is there. I wouldn't go back, but not because it was bad. It's just too far for me and I didn't dream about it. It's fine. Giving a 3 seemed a bit harsh because it wasn't bad. But 4 seemed also a little high. So 3.5 is really the sweet spot read more

I think this smoothie place is worth the hype for its $13 smoothies due to the huge size, quality of ingredients, and taste! Yes, the only con is the line and wait can be 40+ mins - 1 hr but I would come back if I had a chill day and wanted an organic, quality smoothie that made me feel great. I got their: Strawberry Fields (5/5): This is on their Sweet Organic Smoothies menu and it is a blend of strawberries, banana, vanilla, and dates. You can also choose between almond butter or peanut butter which I chose the latter. The smoothies are filled to the brim and they have the signature blob of the circle smoothie overflow that adds their signature touch. This smoothie has chunks of sweet, chewy dates and you can taste the creamy peanut butter mixed in with the strawberry banana date. Very naturally sweetened. I would come back to try their other smoothies if I had a chill day to explore on the west side. read more

Huuuuge smoothies A bit too thick and nut butter heavy for me but overall fun experience! Def enough to share for two Street parking metered they have a singular customer parking spot in the back Wait also we waited like solid 40 mins. I think the whole experience waiting in line and then waiting for them to make it took 1 hr. They only have three blenders. If u ask them about your smoothie they will try to expedite for you though Inside is crowded and small read more

Smoothies here are delicious! We tried the Green Monster and the Date Night Date. Both were really good, but I'd especially recommend the Date Night Date if you want something that isn't overly sweet but still has that nice hint of sweetness without tasting like a green juice. We went early on a weekday, so the wait wasn't bad. However, we've come on weekends before and waited 30+ minutes in line. For it being an early morning visit with fewer customers, the customer service could've been better. We were greeted, but there were no smiles, small talk, recommendations, or even a thank you when we received our order. That said, this is a great spot if you love thick smoothies. It is a bit pricier compared to other smoothie chains, but you do get your money's worth, the cups are overfilled and the ingredients taste fresh and real/no additives. read more

Clearly everyone who left a bad review has never worked in the service industry, this place is great and it blew up on tiktok, of course it's going to be an annoying wait especially when the workers just want to go home and there's an insane line. If there's a long line and they're close to closing maybe come earlier next time. The smoothies are soo good and I actually started just making it at home because I didn't want to make the drive. read more

Great smoothies with a caveat. It might take 45 min to an hour to get a smoothie!! The line can be deceiving. Once there were only two customers in front of me and it took ~40 minutes to get my smoothie. Another time the line was out of the door and it took me ~1 hour to get my drink. The late night date night has been my favorite so far. It's sweet and filling yet icy and refreshing. I don't usually even like dates since they can be overly sweet. The smoothies are the best texture. Thick yet smooth. There isn't much seating. There are only bar style tables inside around the perimeter. But it'll feel cramped since the place is packed with people either in line or waiting for their order. read more

Stopped in for a smoothie and the line was pretty long. It looked like they were understaffed, so things were moving slowly. When my drink finally came out, it was clearly under-blended. You could see chunks in it, and it definitely wasn't going to go through the straw. I hadn't even left the counter yet. Before touching it, I politely asked if they could blend it again. The staff told me it was already blended and didn't offer to fix it. They were pretty rude about it. It was frustrating because it felt like an easy fix. A quick re-blend would have solved the issue. Instead I ended up leaving with a smoothie I couldn't really drink. Not the best experience. read more

Main Squeeze - Clearly not blended all the way - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Santa Monica, California

The rumors are true! Their smoothies are better than Erewhon. When it gets really busy, they seem to take orders in batches and then make those orders before taking more orders. Yes the wait is loooong (be patient and keep the good vibes here pristine). No, these smoothies are not expensive, their price is 100% reasonable for the ingredients. These smoothies are so nutrient dense it is like having a meal. Real whole ingredients. We had birthday cake with peanut butter and strawberry fields. 10 out of 10, no notes. These guys were working, incredibly hard to get orders out. And so far, they are doing an amazing job! read more

First time giving Main Squeeze a try and we ordered off the fruity menu. The PINA &COCONUT and BREAKFAST ON THE GO were super sssoooooo gooooooddd! One star removed for the 35 minute wait, otherwise the smoothies were worth the price! We got lucky with parking in the back. read more

This was good to try once, but I'm not sure that this smoothie is worth the cost and wait in the future. I got the tropical mix smoothie. It was good, but flavor-wise, nothing outstanding. I've had better smoothies that are more tart and flavorful. It is impressively thick, though, which I appreciate. It's also a decent size, but almost $13 is still more than I'd like to pay for a smoothie. I went in the middle of the day in a weekday so it wasn't busy, but it still took a really long time to get my smoothie. Inside has some seating, but most people seemed to just take their smoothies to-go. Metered street parking. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I have to warn anyone who might think of coming here. Be prepared to wait. Definitely not worth it. DO NOT ORDER ANY JUICE IF YOU CANT WAIT OVER AN HOUR!!! I went on a weekday during work/school hours and there was close to no one there. Absolutely zero line but there was a few people waiting before me for their drinks. I ordered one juice and a smoothie and waited over an hour. They move at the pace of snails and take extra long to make the juices which they do not warn you about. While they took forever to make the juice they never handed me my smoothie and let it melt. The top they overfill spilled all over me because my smoothie was completely melted. Overall do not recommend at all unless you want to waste $25 and nearly two hours of your time when there's no line. read more

Arrived around 8am and it wasn't busy at all. The gentleman who was working didn't even acknowledge my cousin and I. He didn't greet us when we walked in and he didn't even talk to us when we ordered. We ended up getting the Green Perfection and Berry Protein + added peanut butter. I'd rate the Green Perfection a 7/10 & she rated the Berry Protein a 6/10. The peanut butter was pretty much all you tasted. Service was non-existent but the drinks were good. I would never go back though. read more

I recently visited Main Squeeze in Santa Monica, and the smoothies were honestly amazing. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and high quality. You could tell they used good ingredients, and the smoothie was blended perfectly. Definitely one of the better smoothie spots I've tried in the area. The only downside was the wait time. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get our smoothies, which was way longer than expected. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and the place felt understaffed during the rush. I felt bad because everyone was working hard, but they clearly needed more help. Overall, the smoothies were great and worth trying. I just hope they improve the wait times because the drinks themselves were excellent. read more

Went to Main Squeeze for the first time and I have to say I wasn't impressed enough to go back a second time.

I decided to come try Main Squeeze after seeing all the hype around it, and I have to say that I don't think it really lived up to it. On the bright side, there wasn't much of a line since I went on a Thursday early afternoon. Also, the smoothies really are packed to the brim. However, I think the Tropical Mix was a little too sweet and so thick it barely even got up the straw. Also, for $12.75 a smoothie, I expected to be more wowed. Sure, this is great if you want to get a smoothie that's cheaper than an Erewhon smoothie, but otherwise, I'd say there are plenty of other great smoothies and drink places around for a better price! read more

The line both times I made to the smoothie shop was over 30+ minutes. The first time was almost an hour Other than the wait time, the two smoothies: the green monster and strawberry field were great. I really like the green monster a little better because if the texture and how creamy it was. The strawberry filed can get too sweet might even be too sweet for someone. As I was watching the employees making each smoothie, they blend each order separately hence the line. I put really fruits, lots of bananas, with other goodies depend on your order. They really need to improve the wait time or hire more employees with more blender. Those people need a team of at least 5 people, not 3... for the amount of customer they get everyday. I might go back only if it gonna take me only 15 min max for a smoothie. read more
