Great smoothies, thats the best thing you can get there. The entrees and apps are average. Breakfast is popular, but theres nothing special about any meals here.
Its a bit over priced for what you get, however.
Environment is nice, tiki bar style, a plus in summer. This is their differentiator.m, and its nice. Location on too of high speed traffic on East Park Avenue isn't nice.
Eating outdoors in Long Beach in summers is nice in general, and they make a good effort with palms and flowers, but sitting a foot or two from disgusting piles of garbage is sickening. After experiencing that twice, I haven't been back. Its smells and is really gross.
They also have an annoying $15 or more minimum on credit cards. Fine for a restaurant, which they try to be --but when you run in for a pricey smoothie, its an inconvenience that annoys me in a world fast abandoning cash only. Another reason I haven't been back in months --and I used to have breakfast, lunch or a smoothie a few times a week during the summer.
I realize they cant handle the business in the summer and probably don't care, but losing regular customers (Im one of at least half a dozen I know of) over filthy smelly piles of garbage directly adjacent to an eating area, frustrating payment methods (including no Apple Pay) and average food at above somewhat average prices makes a three star review more than generous.
If I hear they improved basic customer service and cleanliness fixed, Id try them again. Not before, unfortunately.
