By the name of this place, The PunchBowl seems fitting for someone like me who loves to punch things :) LOL. If you know me or follow me on IG, then you'd get that. In all seriousness, The Punchbowl has nothing to do with punching, per se. It's a juice bar/cafe that serves up complex raw, organic, vegan juices & shakes with exotic healthy ingredients. Nom nom!
I found The PunchBowl via Yelp this afternoon while in LA. What a great find! I wanted to grab something healthy for my long a$$ drive back to OC in the middle of rush hour traffic. It's so crazy, there are stay-at-home orders issued all over the state of California right now, yet traffic was horrible AF! No one is staying home - no one seems to give AF. LOL. Sorry, I digress :)
Thankfully, I got to enjoy my Greena Colada Shake on my drive home. It's basically kale, pineapple, avocado, lime, coconut water, coconut meat and coconut nectar. Sooo yummy and refreshing. I also got a ginger shot which is good for helping to reduce inflammation, soothe digestive issues, and enhance immune function.
Parking is a bit tricky as there's construction on Vermont. The PunchBowl is located on the corner of Vermont and Melbourne. There's metered street parking.
The shop is beautifully decorated and has a very natural, organic vibe. What I love about The PunchBowl is they use only raw, vegan, 100% organic juice, shake, salad & dessert apothecary!!
And - the story behind The PunchBowl is so darn cute and romantic! You'll have to read about Christiana, Jonathon and Al's story online at: https://lapunchbowl.tumblr.com/AboutUs ~ A story that is definitely "unexpected, romantic and most importantly, healing." I mean, that's usually how true love happens, right!? Maybe I'll meet the love of my life at The PunchBowl :)
