JuneShine - Santa Monica

Only hard kombucha! The staff was so kind, helpful, and really cool. We got a flight of six to try the different flavors, they were all delicious! The vibes were really cool; simple, chill interior with plenty of space to sit and talk with friends. I think I saw other people bringing in Hamburgers from another place to eat while sitting to drink. I can’t wait to go back.

I love this place. It's beautiful. Great music. Chill. And the Designated Driver is my favorite. They have food too but there's so much good food around that I would just have a drink and then walk to a nearby restaurant. The Jamaican patty wasn't as Jamaican as I'd hoped.

We were so lucky to have this place opened in Santa Monica! So refreshing after lockdown is over and things are back to normal! I love the idea of this hard kombucha bar. It’s fancy, beautiful, cool and it’s a part of One Percent for the Planet. Servers were SO nice and answered all of our questions! Get some kombucha and snacks! More things to come soon since this place is just opened! So excited!

Chic, stylish, and hard kombucha!☀️ At $3 for a 5oz hard kombucha, it’s extremely reasonable. This isn’t a bar, it’s an experience. With a slightly sweet aroma, the place is the perfect atmosphere for getting drinks with a few friends. 😊 Amanda, at the bar was really nice. I think you should try this place! It’s a hit! 🍻

Really cool hangout if you love Kombucha! They have all the standard Juneshine flavors with some new ones to try out too! Get the tasting board where you get three little glasses. You can also get food on the side. Don’t want to wait for a table? You can also walk in and buy some cans or a 32/64oz glass bottle you get to keep. They have some cool merch too! Just opened so understandable the waiters still figuring stuff out but we waited for like 30 mins before being served: only reason im not giving 5 stars. Really cool place otherwise with a nice chill atmosphere. They also serve beer and wine if you don’t like hard kombucha.

Never had hard kombucha before which was an experience. I had a flight which was great to try out the diff flavours.

Stumbled upon this place on an early Saturday morning and was not disappointed! Expected regular kombucha but shortly learned hard kombucha = alcoholic... still amazing though! I got the flight which was a great way to try all their yummy flavors. The blueberry lemonade was my favorite. Shop is such a cute vibe too

Friendly girls behind the bar and delicious hard kombucha. They did have non-alcoholic options as well which was nice!

I love June Shine so I was so excited to see there was a brewery in SM. Came here during the week as soon as they opened. Of course we were the first ones in but only a few minutes after it got pretty busy. We sat at the bar and order the tasters. It was nice to get a sample of some flavors I hadn't tasted before. This place is super chill and really nice on the inside. The bathrooms were clean and there was street parking which was nice. We were able to stock up and take home some of our favorite June shine flavors.

Cute lil hangout on Main Street. Pretty trendy space. I'm a fan of June Shine drinks in the stores and it was interesting to find out they had an actual space in Santa Monica. The kombucha flights looked really appealing. Giving this 4.5 stars because it is a very cute place to meetup after work but space is a little tight for my comfort.

My friends and I came to June Shine for a wine & jazz night yesterday. We managed to grab a cute corner of the space with couches and cushions, and it was such an intimate cozy vibe being able to chat with friends, drink booch, and listen to the band! The jazz band was great, and the kombuchas were yummy! There were so many flavors of kombucha to choose from (including flights of 3 or 6!) and the prices were super reasonable! My favorite flavor was the POG! The only qualm I had was that they had initially advertised this as a pizza/wine/jazz night, then changed it last minute to a wine/jazz night without any notice. The pizza was kinda the main reason we wanted to come LOL, but it still ended up being a good time anyways!

### 2024 review 13/100 ### WOW we discovered the one & only Juneshine brick & motar when we came for their annual LA party -- their other location in down in San Diego. We came back to redeem our FREE hard kombucha that was in the goodie bag - along with a nice fluffy beach towel, that they were handing out. Kendall at the bar is super friendly and indulged us in an impromptu kombucha on tap tasting before we pick out favorite. P.O. G. for her & Midnight Painkiller for him. Fun and comfy corners to lounge around, where we enjoyed our hard kombuchas and caught up on Yelp reviews. Hmmm it would actually be nice to have some board games to play while siping in your drink of choice.

I had the most pleasant experience doing their partnered event with 222 where we had their alcoholic kombucha flight and did floral arrangements! I don't have the best experience with kombucha but I liked the taste of these as they are light and fruity. The staffs were so friendly and walked us through the drinks and experience. If we had any questions, they answered with the utmost kindness. I love the modern decor and vibe of the place. It's very LA!

This place is stunning! What a vibe. I'm not into kombucha so I had the skin contact wine and it was delicious! The service was great too as they let me try a few wines before deciding which one I wanted.

JuneShine Santa Monica is a really cool spot! My friend suggested we stop in here while we were in the area and it did not disappoint. I love the space, decor, ambience, and vibes. Admittedly, I'm not big on kombucha. However, I can (almost) always go for a beer. Thankfully, this place had a couple for me to choose from. We enjoyed a drink here in the relaxing atmosphere before moving on. I would not hesitate to return.

I did their tasting really liked their kombucka. Never had it on tap before and it really does taste better.

So surprised to find that there's such a BREW-tiful kombucha bar located on Main Street in Santa Monica! I'm not a big fan of the sports/beer pubs in the area, so finding JuneShine definitely felt like a hidden gem. They're the same company as the JuneShine kombucha canned cocktails that are sold in supermarkets, and their drinks and flights are extremely affordable, especially considering the area they're in. I ordered the 6 drink flight for only $22, which I could customize with any flavors on the menu, and I definitely enjoyed how light and refreshing they all were. They have beautiful indoor seating with Cancun-style decor, as well as an outdoor room with a communal table and an open skylight. Highly recommend checking them out for a relaxing, chill experience and VERY affordable drinks!

It was okay. Everyone is a bit pretentious. The boochtenders didn't seem to know much about their product or care to learn. Meh.

We came on a trivia night and it was so much fun! We love the variety of flavors of drinks and great spot to come to hang out with friends. We got heavy handed burgers next door so super clutch spot! Street parking was easy to find. Staff is amazingly friendly!

I've been wanted to check this place out for the LOOOONGEST TIME. But everytime I went, it was PACKED. I finally stopped by with my girlfriends and our dogs. They are super dog friendly. Now remember, juneshine is kombucha so if you don't like that, you probably won't like this. My friend and I ordered a flight to try a bunch of different ones.The workers there were so friendly and made some really great suggestions. Some were great and some were okay. It just really depends on your own personal taste so I can't fault them for that. The decor is really cute inside and they also have a back patio to hang out at again. I would definitely come back but only if it's not too crowded since the space is a little small.

Cute and casual spot serving hard kombucha! The selection of kombucha flavors is quite good, and I highly recommend their flight options as you can taste different flavors without committing to one big glass. Sitting area is somewhat limited, although available. Place was quite busy over the weekend, which makes it quite lively and loud. It's probably much quieter during the less popular hours (early mornings or weekdays). Very cute and casual, great experience. There is no coffee and selection of non alcoholic options is limited (or completely absent). Highly recommend.

The concept was nice they described the place as a tasting room with a refrigerator in the front if you want to grab a pack of their hard kombucha for later. They have limited space but a nice vibe where you feel like you are in tulum or Bali. I would recommend it for a social night out since they have events. They had trivia night and it was social place to be and meet locals. Definitely come and try the kombucha flight. Ask for some tajin to add a kick to your drinks. Also they have a side room available for events or even renting the space out.

JuneShine Santa Monica is like if a yoga studio got together with a cocktail lounge, but decided to stick to lower ABV so it keeps the rowdy crowd out. I love JuneShine, but kind of miss the days of when it was real true Kombucha. Now it's sort of processed and not what it used to be. It ain't as good as it once was, but it's as good once as it ever was.

My recent visit to Juneshine in Santa Monica left me with mixed feelings. The ambiance of the place was undeniably appealing, and its earthy tones, wood, wicker, and woven textures created a pleasant, laid-back atmosphere, fitting perfectly with the Santa Monica vibe. However, the charm of the venue didn't quite compensate for the shortcomings in service and the overall experience. The primary offering of Juneshine, their hard kombucha, while clean and refreshing with a variety of interesting flavors like Blood Orange Mint and Chili Mango, didn't present anything particularly novel or exclusive to the location. Essentially, it was the same Juneshine you could find at Whole Foods, but at a slightly higher price point. Adding to the disappointment was the service. On my visit, my order was forgotten not once, but twice, because the employees were too occupied gossiping - lmao. This lapse in service seemed out of place in an establishment that otherwise had a laid-back and welcoming vibe. While Juneshine's commitment to sustainability is commendable, and its products are organic and gluten-free, the overall experience felt a bit underwhelming, considering the hype around the brand. The food options, albeit limited, were satisfactory but didn't stand out as particularly memorable. Juneshine is a decent spot for those looking to enjoy hard kombucha in a pleasant setting, but don't expect anything beyond the ordinary in terms of drink uniqueness or culinary offerings. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a relaxed place to unwind, but it might not live up to the expectations of those seeking a more distinctive or upscale experience.

This place caught me by surprise. First off, I'm not a big fan of kombucha. I was out shopping with some friends and they wanted to stop in here, because sometimes girl shopping includes tasty beverages. The decor is what I would call bright-calming-hipster (very LA). I got a flight of kombuchas as I was in search of flavors I would actually like. The bar tenders were great and very friendly, we got to taste a few before making our selections. I wouldn't say I fell in love with kombucha, but I found some flavors to enjoy when my friends want to come back.

I usually am a big fan of hard kombuchas, but was a little disappointed at June shine. We got a 6 drink flight and a 3 drink flight, but I only liked 2 or 3 out of the 9 drinks. There were also a few that my friends and I reallllyyy didn't like, such as the Coco Rico. I did like the Blood Orange and POG, but the rest were pretty unmemorable. The sit-down area is quite nice, but seating is limited. There is a nice large communal table in the back with is pretty comfortable. Parking isn't too bad, theres plenty of paid parking lots in the area. I don't think I would come back, but was a fun place to chill with friends for a bit.

I've come here with friends a few times, and most recently I came for a friend's birthday. I'm not the biggest kombucha fan, but the kombuchas here are quite good and pretty easy for a non-kombucha enthusiast like myself to drink too! My favorites were POG, Midnight Painkiller, and Hibiscus Lime. Also the staff here was delightful - the guy pouring our drinks was so nice and helpful! There's a also small room in the back that I didn't even know about but it's a really pretty room to just hang out and drink with your friends. I'm only giving it 4 stars and this is purely subjective but the vibe was just different than what I'm normally used to. It's super LA and clean something you'd see out of Pinterest almost. It personally it wasn't really my vibe, but a cute place overall!

My type of place!! I love the decor of the whole place. They have hard kombucha here so perfect for just sipping and hanging out. People get the flights to get a little taste of a few of their flavors. For my flight (from my favorite) 1. POG - The most flavorful of the three. You can taste the guava, passionfruit and orange. I highly recommend getting this if you're into tropical flavors. 2. Mango Daydream - You can definitely taste the mango in this one. 3. Iced Tea Lemonade - Had the least flavor from the three. I wanted it because it was a hot day and lemonade sounded so refreshing. They are constantly busy here. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating with seats at the bar as well. This place is really good to hang out at.

Stopped here for a refreshing treat while out for a bike ride with a friend. We split the small flight (Midnight Painkiller, Blood Orange Mint, Spicy Mango) which was plenty for the 2 of us. My favorite was the Midnight Painkiller (pineapple, coconut, orange, activated charcoal and nutmeg) which was the perfect combination of fruity without being too sweet. The store has a very cute, boho theme. Perfect spot for a day out with the girls!

Cute but definitely very LA. I LOVE kombucha of all kinds- it's my favorite thing to drink!! I was so excited at the prospect of a brewery just for kombucha. Parking is actually pretty ok- there's a big public lot close to the store. The store is really small and has very limited seating, so it's not great for groups over 4 and you will more than likely have to stand. They also only offer bagged popcorn as a snack, which is a bummer if you want to stay for a while! They didn't seem to mind bringing in food from other places, though. The decor was super cute and very very instagrammable. The kombucha itself was pretty non-memorable, all the flavors (we got a flight) tasted pretty similar. They also had a really limited supply of nonalcoholic kombuchas, which was a bummer for the driver.

Juneshine is the best place to go for hard kombucha. All of the seats and lighting are cozy. I love meeting new friends here or coming for a mid-week refreshment. They have a flavor for everyone, and the booch-tenders are always super friendly and helpful. It's one of my favorite spots in Santa Monica.

Fun vibe and drink selection. I had only heard of JuneShine but had not tried. A friend told me about there be an actual tasting room and I knew I had to go. I really enjoy Kombucha and when you add alcohol, why not. Get the flights and try: POG Coco Rico Painkiller

fun atmosphere. delish kombucha. and their natural wines are great too! a good start or casual end to any night!

Great vibes and great drinks! My partner and I walked in here randomly after trying the new burger place next door. I've always wanted to see what it was like here, and it was pretty chill! We're not huge on kombucha, but having a flight was a great way to get a taste for the range of kombucha they have. Service was also great, the bartender we were talking to was pretty knowledgeable about what they put in the kombucha and ingredients we hadn't heard about. I don't live in the area so I wouldn't make a trek out just for this place, but would definitely be down to stop by again if I'm nearby.

Walked in with my BF around 6:30 on Sunday evening. Place was pretty empty which was nice and they put on the Oscars and the Lakers game on the TV above the entrance. I've been a hard kombucha fan since I started drinking it in 2018 and a huge fan of Juneshine so was super excited to finally give their Santa Monica taproom a try (was sad to see their North Park location closed during the pandemic). Vibes are boho-cute and minimalist. They have flights to try a bunch of different flavors in-house, and growlers, cans, and cases to go! It's nice to try flavors you can't get at the grocery store, including chili mango. Please, please, make this in a case to go/available in stores!! I've tried Midnight Painkiller, Mango Daydream, Grapefruit Paloma, Blood Orange Mint, Acai Berry, Chili Mango, Blackberry Ginger, and Strawberry Watermelon. Top three are Chili Mango, Mango Daydream, and Grapefruit Paloma. I would imagine during the day on the weekends are packed, as are weekday evenings. Will definitely come back soon!

I don't think there are food options but the hard kombucha slaps!!! I'm so excited they have a store/kombucha bar? They have a lot of flavors + they let you have a sample of them. You can also order a flight of different flavors. Very Tulum for the aesthetic! Great vibes!! Will definitely be back

Great Performances! Great atmosphere! Would definitely come again! Loved SheldonCole's set w/ Dakota

I've had my eye on juneshine for quite some time now (ever since their opening in San Diego!) and was stoked when they opened up a taproom in la (and when I turned 21 to finally go). I usually do meter parking in the area and it's only a few dollars per hour. drinks (9/10): if you like kombucha, this is a must try! the flights are only $10 for 3 flavors. some of my favs are the peach vanilla, blood orange mint, strawberry fields, and chili mango! I think the flight is the perfect amount but you can also get regular servings of 5oz ($3), 8oz ($5), or 16oz ($8). food (8/10): the charcuterie board was yummy and a great snack pairing with the kombucha! it had a decent amount of food & they gave us extra crackers to finish up the cheese! ambience (10/10): generally pretty lively in the evenings with a younger crowd. the decor is absolutely beautiful and so aesthetic! not too noisy and not too quiet! there's also an outdoor patio area but I prefer to sit inside! overall this is one of my go-to spots on the west side for their great drinks & snacks, fair prices, and wonderful atmosphere!

Food was great and a decent price and the drink options are solid. Pretty cool spot to casually meet friends or just stop by for a roast beef sandwich. The service is pretty quick and the staff are pretty friendly. The restaurant itself is very light and open and the seating is pretty comfortable.

Amanda made our experience. She was so kind and genuine. We will forever be JuneShine loyal. The fact that there was options for non alcoholic guests was great. It was so gorgeous inside. Amanda you're the absolute best!!

I really don't drink hard kombucha but my girlfriend and her friends are big fans so we stopped by. It was our friend Scott's first day and he absolutely crushed it! This place has such a cool aesthetic and is very comforting. I tried some of my friends drinks and although it isn't quite my cup of tea, they were pretty good. If you like kombucha, definitely give this place a shot. Also need to make a shout out that whoever was playing music here was doing a STELLAR job. It's like they were playing all my favorite songs one after the other??! Hats off to the DJ

$3 tasters!? YES! Love their interior space - super light airy boho chic! They have a great selection of kombuchas and even a couple seasonals. Don't go for the flight though.. you get more oz if you just order individual $3 glasses. Everything was so tasty and easy to order! It was a bit crowded though when I went which meant hovering around to try and get a seat when someone leaves (first come first serve). Easy ordering at the front counter. Super friendly service and a good amount of neighborhood parking- you may have to walk a little though.

June shine is a fun place to be, they always have events going on. The kombucha flight is nice because you get to try a lot of different flavors. The ascetic of the inside is well designed. The staff is friendly. I highly recommend stopping in.

They have lots of different hard kombucha flavors on tap and also sell cans to go. The seating is very relaxed and mainly couches, chairs, and some bar seating. The sampler is a great option to try a bunch of different flavors. It's not the biggest spot but pretty easy to get space with a small group

How can you not walk in? This place is beautiful! From indoors to outdoors its so easy on the eyes! We did come on opening day and I must say their empanadas were burnt.. We ordered two rounds and I'm not sure if the second came even more burnt... They were good and just gotta toss out most of the burnt off. We all got several flights each and since it was opening day. Their most popular flavor was already sold out. Super cute spot to hang out and chill. Go next door to the Jameson Pub to get turnt.

Really cool vibe and the service is very friendly/helpful. Kombucha is admittedly not my favorite, but I went here for an event and was pleasantly surprised! There are also some good non-alcoholic options. The happy hour deal is really good only $10 for a flight of 3 kombuchas.

I'm not really a Kombucha Beer chick, but after visiting this place, I would def come back. We had came to this place for my friends 30th bday after a rather weird brunch experience at The Rose Venice ( see my review if needed). Totally changed our vibe when we arrived. We did not have a reservation but I think because our party was rather large, the woman grabbed us the table in the back without us even asking. I thought that was very sweet of her and made our experience so great and made it more personal since we were closed off for the rest of the bar area. My friend happy cried and we all were able to sit around the beautiful wood table and have good convo and just overall, a must see. Please check it out and grab some samples. you will find a kombucha beer you will like for sure!

Beautiful interior-Tulum vibes! Their kombucha is absolutely delicious. POG is my favorite. Always great energy and friendly people.

Fab place, lovely party, with great kombucha. Will definitely come back again. The staff was also very accommodating.

I'm a June shine lover and had been wanting to check out the tasting room for awhile. I believe this store in Santa Monica is their only one. First off the decor is to die for!! It's a bohemian lovers dream. I went randomly on a Thursday afternoon with a friend who was visiting town. Prices are super reasonable a glass is $8 and a flight is $10. My friend and I opted for flights so we could try a bunch. I love that they have flavors not sold in store. As a regular June shine drinker I opted for those flavors so I could try something new. I got the chili Mango, the hibiscus lime, and hippie juice. Overall a cute place to hang and catch up with friends. They have eats too so next time I'll have to try it out for the full experience. I'll definitely be back!!

Cute environment but pretty crowded both inside and outside. We went on a Friday night around 8pm and there were barely any seats left. Parked in lot a block over. Flights are the best way to try all the flavors (3 for $10 I had the following 6: 1. Blood Orange mint (probably my favorite, tart and refreshing) 2. Blueberry ginger (not too fruity taste) 3. Hibiscus lime (subtle floral taste) 4. Hopical citrus (tastes like a beer / ipa) 5. Mango daydream 6. Grapefruit Paloma (tastes the lightest, slightly tart)

If you are a fan of craft beer, hard cider, or simply kombucha-this is a must try. Numerous flavors of alcoholic kombucha all with unique natural flavors. Some flavors reminiscent of hard ciders where as others more so sour ales. They serve flights to sample and growlers for fills to go or cans as well. Highly recommend.

Such a cute spot!!! Great for a date or drinks with friends. Super nice staff. The ambiance inside is adorable. They have flights that you can do to try different kinds and some food as well. I wish there was more seating inside. They have great DJs too and sometimes events there. It can get quite turned up and dancey on weekend nights. They also have a private room in the back you can rent out. And it's on Main Street by so many places you can hop around!

My roommates and I are lucky enough to live close to Juneshine because it is the perfect, get a casual drink any night if the week bar. Hard kombucha is a perfect healthier alternative to some other cocktail options and on top of that Juneshine does hard kombucha well! The atmosphere in the bar is also great, it's always lively with lots of people milling around. They sometimes have events on the weekends too so keep an eye out for those!

I've tried JuneShine Kombucha before, but this was my first time visiting their SM store in person! Let me just say, so aesthetic and Instagrammable - definitely a great place to hang out and drink for both locals and tourists. They even have a live DJ that adds to the chill, bohemian atmosphere. They offer a variety of hand-crafted organic Kombucha, along with some bites. I got the Mango Daydream flavor and it was so refreshing and delicious. I definitely will be back, and will come with more friends! :)

I heard so much about this type of red and white tea with yeast on social media that girls love. When I heard LA has Kombucha, it is actually here in santa Monica, I had to pay a visit at June Shine. To my biggest surprise, this tea tap room is so dreamy and flooded in natural day light. Every corner is sweet, relax and chill. With that said, in my mind it is girl drink, I ordered a flight of 3 glasses of 5oz juices. I picked Midnight painkillers, lemon ginger honey and something else. They came in very cute glasses on a tray. They tasted like fruit juices with bubbles, very easy and my stomach likes them. I downed them all at once. AND.... all of a sudden, I were in a pink bubble happy land. I was starving and ordered a chicken empanadas, boy it was good. So relaxing here, definitely will pay a visit again.

My best friend and I came here for MDW and it was poppin'! This was my first time trying hard kombucha and man am I in love. There were so many flavors to choose from. We ended up getting flights for $10 each. I tried their Blood Orange Mint, Midnight Painkiller, and Spicy Pineapple Margarita (and it do be spicy!). My friend also got their Spicy Pineapple Margarita, Chili Mango, and Acai Berry. My favorite was the Blood Orange Mint, it was so cool and refreshing, and her favorite was the Acai Berry--it tasted like juice! You could not taste the alcohol at all, it was like drinking kombucha but with more flavor. These drinks are dangerously good. If you're ever in SaMo, this is definitely a must try. PS. The patio is dog friendly and we got to meet so many furry friends.
