JuiceCrafters

Was in my way to Starbucks when I saw this place right next door and went here instead. $12 and some change for a traditional açaí bow. It was delicious. Small store but the service was fast and the girls working were nice. The bowl was a big portion and they put so much fruit, granola and coconut on top! I was thrilled as most places are cheap with their toppings. The fruit and açaí was fresh and I ate the whole thing. They also have juices, “meal replacements” which are smoothies and other bowl selections! Very happy with my order.

What Works Well 1. Freshness & Quality Many reviewers praise the freshness of the fruit, the balance of flavors, and how vibrant the smoothies and bowls taste.  2. Menu Variety & Options The menu includes a broad selection: cold-pressed juices, wellness shots, acai & protein bowls, smoothies, teas, etc.  You’ll find options for different dietary preferences (vegan, “superfood” ingredients).  3. Convenient Hours & Location They open early (6:30 am) and stay open until ~6:30 pm.  The location on Lincoln Blvd is relatively accessible for Marina del Rey.  4. Good Delivery / Online Presence On platforms like Grubhub, ratings are strong (4.7 stars across ~65 ratings).  The ordering menu shows many items, suggesting active operations.  ⸻ 👎 Common Complaints & Weaknesses 1. Inconsistency Some customers say the texture or blending is off at times, e.g. “acai was still frozen and just not really blended.”  Another noted a delivery bowl smelled off, possibly indicating quality control issues on some occasions. 2. Value / Portion Concerns A few reviews mention that portions seem smaller than expected or less generous than previous visits. 3. Delivery Packaging / Handling One user said the delivery bag isn’t sealed and feels insecure for transport. In general, when ordering for delivery or “pickup to go,” some of the quality and presentation might degrade. 4. Mixed Overall Rating On Yelp, the overall rating is about 3.6 stars (162 reviews).  On TripAdvisor, it’s less prominently rated among the many restaurants in Marina del Rey.  On Indeed, employee reviews reflect average to moderate satisfaction (3.2 / 5).  ⸻ ✅ Verdict & Recommendations Juice Crafters in Marina del Rey is a solid pick if you’re in the mood for a health-oriented smoothie / juice / bowl spot. Its strengths are in its menu variety, fresh ingredients, and convenience. However, expect some inconsistency in blending or portion size, especially with delivery. If I were you, here are a few tips: • Go in-person (not via delivery) if you want the best texture and presentation. • Try a popular item (e.g. one of their signature bowls or cold-pressed juices) to test their consistency. • Inspect the packaging on delivery (make sure it’s sealed) and send feedback if it’s not. • Visit during non-peak hours to avoid rushed orders.

We just love Juice Crafters. It is a chain and this one is our favorite. Now, this is not an inexpensive place, but it is well worth it. I prefer plain orange juice. They have it and it is the best. My grandson loves their smoothies, he likes the strawberry ones and I can't get him to try a different one. He is always so happy when I pull the car in there. Parking is not a problem. Their bowls are super. I love all the coconut you can have put on them, you can have whatever you want in a bowl. The staff is very helpful. This is a great place to get a healthy snack or lunch. Enjoy.

Taste great but extremely expensive. Lots of flavors to choose from

I always go to the Starbucks right next door and always see so many people in this juice bar. So today I thought I’d finally check it out. I got their Açaí protein bowl and I swear I fell in love. Sooo delicious! Not having to wait in line and the friendly service were also a major treat. Definitely my new go to :)

Pleasant vibe, helpful employees, yummy smoothie!
