Kreation Kafe & Juicery - 3rd Street LA

Beautiful inside and out. Simple setup. A creative food & beverage selection. You can sit outside under a heater to chase away cool days. I love the grass carpet idea and the potted plant dividers. An oasis in a busy street. I only ordered drinks but hope I can try the food next stop in.

Healthy, vegan, keto friendly cafe with an extensive smoothie bar. Everything in here is beneficial to your health, literally! The avocado toasts are amazing, loved all the different combinations - you can even build your own. Juice and smoothie bar has all the green juices you could ever think of. There are also a lot of to go options for a quick eat. Service is lacking, feels more like self service. Food is overpriced.

Every time I’m in town, I make it a priority to get kreation kafe! One of my favorite cafes in LA. They have a wide variety of foods, smoothies, juices & so much more! The best part about this place is they use raw, whole foods through and through. No added bs! So good wish I had one close to home! 🫶🏻

My very most favorite foodery that is HEALTHY! I Love to get the Brooklyn Hipster. Its an open sandwich cream cheese, avocado, lox, capers and salad. Yummy. I go for the samples of all theirchealthy juices. Last time I was there they had a got chicken broth. It was so tasty.

Very nice place it with a zen atmosphere. The manager at 3rdst is very knowledgeable about the items. Best service I ever had! You can come and work while you eat. Or you can have brunch or also breakfast or dinner whatever you’re in the mood. I would recommend to get the omega bowl. It’s really rich in nutrients , filling and very healthy

Had breakfast here with the family this morning. We ate outside and had a mix of pancakes, oatmeal, smoothie bowl and avo toast. We had one smoothie and a couple juices and an iced coffee. Everyone ate everything! Clearly they like it. Unfortunately it was $100 out the door with tip. 😉

Favorite LA spot. The vibe is totally there. If you’re looking for your favorite juice or açaí spot this is it! Also they have very healthy meals. I’m a regular here :) sad they discontinued the strawberry cheesecake. That was my favorite thing to get here. The traditional breakfast is perfect

Hands down the best place to eat in LA. We usually just go for their smoothies but actually sat down to eat dinner and I’m so glad we did. We got the chicken kabob and the short rib. SO GOOD! The brilliance smoothie is my go-to but the nirvana is my second. Don’t forget to grab some protein balls and trail mix for later!

Oh man #1 if I could flash back to my youth ... I'd like to work here #2 LITERALLY everything I had on the menu which included many detox teas and smoothies as well as food, was great. Nutrition is clear here but flavor isn't compromised! If you need a good meal, anytime of day... come here! The service was A+ and they had heat lamps for the cooler morning temps ... they care!

Kreation Organic, I'm surprised to know what you did after the BOGO when you returned to your bottle buyback. The original return rate for the larger bottles was originally $4 while the original buyback for the next biggest bottle $16oz was $2 and for the shot suzed bottles the return was $1. Well, after you officially declared the bottle buyback paused and then in the same month declared the bottle buyback in, you neither directly told customers the bottle buyback had changed, when I as a customer returned to return some of those bottles, you rang the bottles up for half the return rate and then went on to say, at your highland location, oh no, it's always been this way, even less. At your Santa Monica location you dimly rang the return up as 1/2 and acted like oh no big deal, we just didn't say anything and just acted as if nothing happened. I didn't appreciate that. If you had a loss during the BOGO, eat the loss, don't take your customers for stupid or naive or gaslight them. I was new to Kreation as of April of this year. I won't be back. I simply don't care for this or your deception and I will take my remaining bottles elsewhere to recycle them. Don't worry about that. It's not that you cut the buyback price in half. It's more about the lack of integrity I Joe you did it. I hope now you can post your employees more with the Monty you saved. I guess profit and capitalism is simply more important than the actual people who support you and your business. Peace and love, Bye Shantel

Everyone was so kind from the moment I walked in. They have a full kitchen, and have a great menu. The short rib beef breakfast burrito was so good. Got full of half of it and the pink power smoothie. Water came with chlorophyll which I loved and chose to sit outside. Very well unkept and pretty decor outside.

Dropped by while looking for a fast lunch the other day waiting on a family member being treated at Cedar-Sinai nearby. I dropped into Kreation because it was nearby and had good reviews. I found their ready to go salads and they looked pretty good so I went with the Meltdown salad. I took a look over the juice menu and I was thinking about ordering a digestive juice, I wanted to ask if it could be done without the cucumber. However when I walked to the register the girl rang me up and gave me a total before I could ask and I couldn't hear well over the blenders running in the background so I just paid and left. The salad itself was fresh, everything was pretty good. I didn't like the dressing, it was overwhelming. I'm not sure if it was the shallot or something else but it just wasn't for me and it was really overpowering it kind of shut down anything else in the salad. With a different dressing I think that would have been a really great salad, a little bit disappointing but again everything was fresh and it's a great little spot so I'll try it again if I'm ever in the area and just try a salad with a different dressing.

I have been to Kreation many times, starting when my Cleveland bestie visited in 2022. At first, i did not think i would like it so much, but after trying many of their salads/bowls, they are excellent in every sense. They LOOK fresh and quite healthy. When i first look at it, i think "how would i ever like this, i love pizza too much", but this really tastes great and makes you feel clean, which i would not normally use as a word to describe most things. The staff is always knowledgeable and helpful. I usually take my items to go, so i cannot fairly say how it is to dine in, but i am quite satisfied EVERY time i am here.

I came into this location to redeem more glass bottles and the customer service was great. I grabbed to smoothies and a juice also. The food is ready great the service is amazing and the shelves were fully stocked. I was helped by Alex and he was very knowledgeable about the cleansing when I asked about existing ones and if any new ones would come out. Great service! Thank you!

These type of things are always funny to me. Brown on black crime, hate to see it. Lol The staff (who were mostly brown) are more keen and friendly to their white customers. Offering options and describing what they know about the menu. Extending a friendly welcome and chatting about the day. I got to the ordering post and got passed around from one cashier to the next both of which stared blindly and almost reluctantly asked what I wanted. Order took a long time, and got waved off back to my seat when I came to check on it. No regard mind you. I do like this deja brew bowl, chai seeds, banana, almond/granola. it's a nice pick me up with caffeine in it. It was good. The place has a back room that is ideal for posting up and getting some work done. Service: D Price: B- Ambiance: B Food: B Location: C

Love this place. Best smoothies in town! Orange sunrise is always my go to smoothie. This location is one of my favorite and always friendly service.

Food is amazing. Love coming here for brunch on Sundays! Being a regular Amy always recognizes me, I really appreciate her.

If you have a lot of allergies it seems like this place is a great place to go. Be prepared to spend a lot of money for health. We got the box to go items and I can't believe how much you spent for a simple sandwich. They have a decent outdoor area but definitely beware of pedestrians since the space is quite tight to sit and watch people. It's quiet in the morning. If you'd like your power smoothie definitely come here and then head to your yoga !

I fell in love and will be back. The Amazon acai bowl was so fresh and delicious in every bite. I'm a big fan of acai bowls. My top favorite is Island Vintage Coffee in Hawaii (Oahu, Maui). This made it up there! I know a good acai bowl when I taste one. I'm excited to try the other flavors. The chia pudding parfait was delicious too! You can taste the freshness and goodness. I love that these items are dairy-free because I'm lactose-intolerant. I have yet to try the vitamin C shot, but I'm sure it's yummy, refreshing, and rejuvenating. The zucchini bread was moist and yummy too! I first fell in love with zucchini bread when I had it from HomeBoys in downtown LA. I love their motto and promotion of eating healthy and letting food be our medicine. It is so true for healthy and happy living. The staff are super generous and friendly. They wear scrubs, so I was mistaken for being a worker because I was in my scrubs haha. I also tried their spaghetti with vegan meatballs. Spaghetti was overall good, but I'm not sure if I can say much about the vegan meatballs, then again, they are vegan; it's decent for vegan meatballs. Give it a try if you love spaghetti and meatballs! Their coffee is good too! Had the hot vanilla latte with soy milk and it's GOOD! Thank you for the generous service, amazing and delicious items, and taking care of us healthcare workers during this challenging time. I'll continue to support your business and simply want to try everything on the menu :). Excellent motto which needs to be promoted. Cheers to healthy eating/living and a better 2021!

Got the keto one and tasted like water! Thanks I'm not sure about other stuff but don't like to return much unless I get juices freshly made

BEWARE NOT ALL ORGANIC!!!!! Went in the evening when it was not busy ordered a juice and latte they took almost 20 mins even though I was the only order. Juice is completely filled with plant material and forgot to add the ginger I paid for into the juice so he said he'd press some ginger but ended up giving me about 2 oz of diluted ginger water with a faint hint of ginger... not what I paid for. Then he forgot to make the coffee so I reminded him and watching him use NON ORGANIC OATLY instead of the organic oat Malk they advertise. Another staple that let their business get ruined by illegal government intervention.

Love this place. A good amount of vegan options and always lots of good, fun samples. The staff, especially Mayra, make this a very pleasant experience. I can't wait to try everything else vegan on the menu.

Love they were roasting coffee bean early in the morning. Taste so good. I love this location has a lot of seating space.

Either it's Kreation Kafe or Erewhon. Them two hold the top 2 best spots for high quality organic juices that are great for you. I love Kreation Kafe for: Organic cold brew straight black coffee (strong af and you can feel the freshness) Green Tea Kombucha (please bring back all your kombuchas I'll make sure to buy them more often than when you last had them!!) I am a kombucha whore and they make them so fkn good just delicious and bubbly af organic housemade almond milk (I always get double because It goes so well with desserts, nothing like this almond milk it'll change your life) Those breakfast in a glass are ALL AMAZING like I was addicted for weeks at a time and I'm very picky with granola/yogurt blends

This is where one goes to feel not so guilty about your brunch munchies. I ate entirely way too much the day before and wanted to have a chill meal so we ended up here. We sat outside to enjoy the fresh air. The interaction with the first person wasn't super smooth. She was oddly snappy. Another person came to take our order. It was like night and day. Person 2 was a doll. Say yes when someone offers you Chlorophyll for your water. You water turns green and somehow makes it taste better. We got: Cold Pressed Vanilla Latte (mine) Grilled Salmon Sandwich (shared) Blueberry Pancakes (shared) Beef Tenderloin Kabob Plate (mine) My dish was hands down the standout. The kabob was great. My favorite was the grilled zucchini and roasted tomato. I didn't however care for the side salad. The pancake was a second favorite. I'm glad someone in the party ordered it and let me finish off the plate. The banana slices enhanced the taste. For serious. It didn't need much syrup, if at all. The best part for me is how friendly their dishes are since I'm lactose intolerant. The cold pressed vanilla latte became my after meal dessert.

My friend wanted to grab a juice and I just tagged along. It was my first time at Kreation and I absolutely loved their sample table! It had a little bit of everything which is always my favorite. I got to try a little bit of: * Skin Sample * Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie * Strawberry Lemon Collagen Juice * CBD Cold Brew * Portobello Zucchini Crackers These were all very yummy! I couldn't stop eating the Portobello Zucchini Crackers so I grabbed 2 samples! I'm so impressed at how they can make such health conscious food taste so great! Now that I know about this place, I want to come back and check out their actual food menu which also sounds delicious!

Our go to restaurant every-time we come from New York. Breakfast is phenomenal and food is super fresh. We are food snobs and having nothing like it New York. Our waitresses Myra and Amy are the best! Will always come back.

I walked here from Beverly Center after realizing the entire mall was closed for a holiday. Whoops! My friend and I were looking for something light and refreshing to eat and this was a short walk away . There were plenty of spaces for eating, Indoor and outdoor seating options, however service was nowhere to be seen. And even when they noticed us it took a little wait to get served. Good variety of options, especially some interesting drinks ! I was underwhelmed by the flavor of the drinks - I got the blue one. It wants subtle coconut flavor

Emery is amazing. Beyond polite beyond awesome ... the knowledge of the ingredients was beyond amazing . Customer service was over the top. I almost felt like not leaving . I will 10000000% be back and it will all be because of Emery. Please make her manager . Like NOW!!!

Came by kreations for a juice and ordered the green juice #1. It was a pretty basic green juice, with a good sweetness level from the pear juice. Also tried the gold goals latte which was really good, tasted like they used actual turmeric root / ginger so was thick and creamy with a good taste / sweetness to it. They use some cute mason jar cups too, although it makes the lattes hard to pick up till they cool off. There are a crazy amount of juice options that are meant for certain reasons and you can even make your own.

Who doesn't love Kreation? Ingredients are legit and although it's a little more expensive than other juicing spots, this place stands out. I come here after my intensive work out and a drink is very filling,extra delicious and refreshing! Location is convenient for people who lives nearby. Few parking spaces are at the back but valet is also an option. 3rd street is usually busy all day long. Staff are personable and special shout out to Benjamin who has always been helpful and friendly as he shared his chocolate concha(Mexican sweet bread) with me,straight outta East LA! Free tasting for the bottled smoothies and juices. Coffee roasting will be added soon!

This is my fave location to eat at. Food is great and service. Friendly staff especially from Myra, She's great !

was truly blown away by the customer service here! everybody was so kind and accommodating, I had no idea they'll plate everything for you/heat it up. not the cheapest option but for super large healthy portions there are much worse options in the area. The popcorn chicken was exactly what I wanted.

I used to come to Kreation a lot before the pandemic and I can honestly say that the food and service was much better before. Before, they used to offer you a complimentary soup in the beginning, with a warm towel, and would put chlorophyll drops in your water. Now they don't do that anymore. In addition, I would always order the Scottish salmon sandwich which came in a delicious baguette. However, the bread they use now is very cheap quality which made the whole sandwich unappetizing to eat. Lastly, the service was not good when I came on a Saturday afternoon. It was not that busy. But the waiter took forever to bring our water, straws, the bill, etc. I don't think I will be a returning customer anymore. It's worth trying here but it's not like what it used to be.

People complain this place is costly. Nourishing ones body is priceless. If I have to cut a streaming service or make some kind of financial sacrifice to afford it...so be it. My seven year old son won't eat as many veggies as needed. He drinks the green juice from here. Even the one without a drop of fruit. I was loving their coconut yogurt but the fruit they put in the bottom of it is too sweet, so I hope one day they'll just offer the yogurt without the fruit. The smoothies, the bowls, I'm grateful. I work long hard hours and being able to grab a quick a smoothie or juice from here keeps me alive. I've gone to at least seven locations and all the staff is pleasant and kind at all of them except one...The one on La Brea in Hollywood. My least favorite location. They just look at you (or maybe they just treat me that way) as if they've done you a favor for existing. I need them to know we've done each other a mutual favor, except I'm giving money and they are receiving and that's how they continue on and get paid. Shrug. But six out of seven ain't bad.

Super cool place with awesome choices! Had Brain (green, not actual brain ) juice very very good, fresh squeezed. Lox eggs Benedict was also excellent and coffee superb! If you are in Beverly Hills good place for breakfast but apparently they have many other locations. Worth a try!

Gonna be real with you- place ain't cheap. I'm talking $10-$15 smoothies but they do not skimp on the taste or the quality. Everything at Kreation is oozing with good for you ingredients. I used to go to the s Beverly location often for smoothies and juices but this one is closer to where I currently live. It's one of the better locations in that they have a full menu of cooked foods in addition to the grab and go stuff. The people who work there(and I say this for pretty much all the Kreation locations) are very helpful and friendly. If you're not sure what you want they're more than happy to make suggestions. My friend and I stopped by Sunday morning after a debaucherous night out. We thought it best to refuel our bodies with good stuff instead of something heavy and greasy. 10 am Sunday still found us street metered parking, something unheard of later in the day for a weekend on 3 rd street. Couldn't decide if I wanted smoothie or açaí bowl but then got eye of the yogurts in the refrigerated section. I ended up getting a chia seed something. Friend got berry yogurt oatmeal thing. Both good. Hers was more filling and tastier imo. Big thumbs up to Kreation for making us feel better. Treat yourself and your body right and stop by Kreation. P.S.they're not paying me to say this, I just like it that much.

I came to Kreation at 6:53 and asked if I could use the bathroom before I planned to get my juice. An extremely rude curtly, dark haired girl said they aren't open even, after I asked what time they open. I asked again what time they open and she said 7 with an attitude. I already didn't want to get anything after that experience and she yelled at me as I left "So you aren't getting anything?" I said "No not after the way you and the other worker treated me!" Terrible music blasting from kitchen and bathrooms totally dirty and no toilet paper.

Best food and service ever. Luis helped me and was the nicest server. He was patient funny and extremely nice. And of course best smoothies ever. I got the purple passion and it never disappoints. Definitely recommend.

This review is in 2 parts. Part one for the grab n' go food and juices and part two for the cafe. I jumped on the celery juice wagon and I get all my juices here. I've gotten the celery juice at other places and it Just doesn't taste as concentrated as Kreation's. If you're looking for very fruity juices, this isn't the place for you. But, their selection of green juice varieties is second to none. Cold pressed coffee drinks and smoothies are fantastic. Try the vanilla late! These juices are a little more expensive than other places but the quality seems much higher. Many juices come in glass bottles and you get a dollar back when returned. I'm obsessed with the chia seed pudding and I have one almost every day for breakfast! The banana bread and blueberry loaf are to die for. Be sure to try the Mexican Flan and the chocolate mousse as well! So good! If you're looking for a quick lunch to grab, try the keto taco salad or the hummus box. There are a lot of different wraps, salads and soups to be had. This Kreation location has a full menu as well, I love coming here for breakfast and sitting outside. They will add chlorophyl to your water which I love. Menus are given on iPads and there is a wide variety of food to choose from. I always go for the standard breakfast plate which is fantastic. Eggs, bacon, really yummy potatoes, salad and toast. They have teas and shots can be added to them. I like the anxieTEA which has cbd in it. Great way to start the day. I've had my eye on their pancakes for my next trip to the cafe. Can't wait to try them!

What a cool place! I knew when I saw it that it was exactly the type of food I was looking for to help me meet my goals. Tons of green juices, smoothies, and other unique and healthy items. Dried fermented kale chips (I didn't try), granola bars (yummy and all natural), acai bowls, soup, hummus, chia seed pudding, and many more. Paleo items as well. It was super neat. I would go back here again!

Great vegan options, food always fresh, great service! Highly recommend ! Keep coming here

The food was really good, and one of the employees named Emery helped us out and was so kind.

The açaí bowls were big and filling. Could use more fruit on it. The service was awesome! Very friendly and helpful. The products were well placed and easy to find. Even had samples around the store. The salads looked really great. The ambiance nice to sit outside in the sun.

Popped in here to grab a quick juice. I personally don't enjoy the taste of green juices, but force myself to drink them occasionally for the nutrients. I liked that this shop had a sample basket right in the front where you could self serve yourself different prepackaged juices to see if you like it. They don't have their entire selection available for samples, but there was at least 7 or 8 different flavors to try. I ended up going with the custom skin flavored one and it was a bit watery but not super bitter. I would stop in and try more flavors if in the area again.

Hi costumer service. I please need a copy of a receipt I lost. Repeatedly calling the location @ W 3rd st but nobody is picking up. Is there an email I can write to with the information in order to get a copy of the receipt? Everything was great at the cafe, loved it so much went twice in 2 day span. Thanks!

Went to Kreation Organic Kafe this morning for a coffee meeting, the place was amazing, it was freezing this morning and they have outdoor heaters which really saved the date. The place was very clean, and they have really good coffee- I drink Starbucks everyday so it is nice to have a more gourmet tasting coffee. The employees were so friendly and welcoming. I had a tough time figuring out what I wanted because I am a new customer and they were very helpful. Cant wait to try their Juice Next!

Amazingly healthy and delicious drinks, salads and snacks. The strawberry collagen lemonade and the dried strwaberries are some of my favorites. Lots of vegan and paleo options. The soups are also a go to meal for me. The service is top notch and I love that they frequently have samples.

One of the few things I am jealous about the West Coast versus Chicago is their love for açaí fruit bowls. There are VERY VERY FEW places in Chicago that serve these, and none are as good than the ones in the West. During my trip to LA, I stumbled upon Kreation adventuring Abbot Kinney. The absolutely loved the open concept vibes with the sunlight beaming through the top and no formal door in the front. These places serves food as well but I came for the fruit bowls!!! There were samples of the juices in the front and back as well. When I came in, there were so many choices of bowls that all looked healthy in their own way by the super ingredients in them. The bowls were pricey but it was quality stuff. When I ordered, it did take them awhile for them to come out with my bowl; however, it was a popular spot. I just tried their samples in the meantime. I got the Amazon Bowl- one of their most popular bowls. I feel like you couldn't go wrong with this one! It has bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries (ALL THE BERRIES!!) and apples. It was naturally sweetened by raw honey and bee pollen with granola for a crunch! It was so good and I just felt so cleansed eating it! If I am back in LA, this will be a spot I would make a special trip for! 8/10

Very pretty space and my food was as healthy as eggs can be and was presented nicely. All was fine, but this place was a bit, I don't know, pretentious. But, I'm from Pawtucket, RI where our cold press juices come from the beautiful Fully Rooted Juicery and stand on their own without a full restaurant around them, so maybe I'm biased. Menus were iPads in a thick case. Because this felt somehow more germy than a regular menu it was good to have that lava rock with water and a pill shaped accompaniment. Just push the white pill-shaped disk into the water, then unwrap it and - presto chango - it's a wash cloth. Seriously, prices were pretty good and service was excellent. The food we ordered was fairly basic and no one had a juice so I can't comment on the quality/flavor/nutrient boost of that. I'd probably come back to use the Yelp check-in bonus if I wasn't heading home tomorrow.

This place was super fast and easy to get a table on a busy Sunday rush time. They brought out our food right away and made it a fun experience. I like their smoothie bowls because of the cut up apple. However, I could not give them high stars because I paid extra for peanut butter and got less than a half a tablespoons worth and their potatoes were heavily doused in rosemary and were inedible. The smoothie bowl was also had very little granola and was super liquidy for the price. It was all pretty good but would not reorder what I did.

Good stuff! Not cheap but high quality drinks and snacks, very convenient and cool branding. Glass bottles are cool and recyclable. Açaí bowls and tonic shots are really good!

Very cool spot! I had a nirvana which was yummy he had a açaí smoothie. We bought some other items and enjoyed them. Gonna take some poop enforcer home for sure. Helps to clean out the vaca food. They have lots of food and snack items.

This location is horrible! Every time I get an order to go, they forget about me. Im forced to go into the restaurant after 45 min of waiting and have to flag down an employee about my order. This has now happened 3+ times. I understand the rush during lunch, but when i asked about my order, it was sitting on the counter ready. Every employee looked lost about the order or they have a very poor protocol on getting orders out timely. No apologies & in my opinion, bad customer service.

First restaurant outing in months due the C19 pandemic. I've just been locked away from the world with my convection oven, iron pans and newly acquired air fryer(...a bit of a cliché but actually really useful). The food was fantastic...great service and at all points felt extremely clean and safe to be in. I had the Scottish Salmon and it was perfect...I eat a lot of salmon so it was refreshing to try another way of preparation and the flavors they used really brought out a perfect balance of savory goodness to each bite...I might need to nick those tricks myself...the house salad was fresh and tasted lively with a light dressing. Topping it off for my after dinner constitutional, I had one of their fantastic raw chocolate smoothies that had a good slightly chewy coconut grit to it that paired well with the dark cacao they use. Again it was a fantastic dinner and at all times the place seemed safe and responsibly open. The staff took every precaution for safety and protection to their guest! And everyone was super nice too.

This is technically not the location closest to me, but it is the one that stays open the latest! Every staff member I have encountered here has been a very friendly and helpful, and the food is always fresh. This will always be my go to location! I always look forward to coming down here and grabbing a healthy quick bite to eat!

I absolutely love the coffee and juices here. While they are expensive, the quality and freshness simply can't be beat and is well worth the occasional splurge. Service is great, very knowledgeable and helpful. Be sure that ask for a sample if you are unsure if you will like it as a bottle will cost you around $12 and some of the flavors are quite bitter and have an acquired taste. This is the place if you are looking to do something good for your body, highly recommended!
