The Punchbowl Los Angeles

LS a month ago

Walked over in the heat (not a short walk) to find the place closed at 5:50. Cutting it close, sure, but what time do I need to get there to be sure you're open? 5:30? Then why not post that closing time? When I can actually get one, the smoothies are good. Oh- and I did try calling first to leave a message rather than a review. No one picked up and there is no answering machine/voicemail service.

The Power Mint is fantastic and super unique! Seems like high quality ingredients and they prioritize health. Great thick texture. Smoothies range from $13-$14 and add ins are $2 each, so quite expensive but I just expect that in LA. The seating space isn’t that cute or comfy so I wouldn’t recommend working or hanging out here.

I used to frequent this place after hikes when I loved in the neighborhood. Naturally, I wanted to bring my kids and husband. We walked in and it’s hot in there and it doesn’t smell too nice. I thought we should just leave but decided to give the benefit of the doubt. We order and pay for one shake (mine because the kids wanted to try mine). Then we try to order the shake the kids wanted (they didn’t like mine and neither did I. My shake was warm and the ingredients tasted stale- like rotten fruit) and the internet isn’t working so we can’t pay. She won’t make the shake until we pay. She calls management or whoever, can’t get it to work. She calls again, can’t get it to work. A woman walks in and says she saw us as she drove by looking for parking so she knew we were waiting a long time. She suggests we pay Venmo. Won’t take Venmo and we don’t have cash. We were waiting in there twenty minutes. No resolution. The woman working there didn’t seem to care that we were waiting and also waiting with kids. He worked in hospitality and the answer is you just give the customer what they want, when it’s on the restaurant for making the mistake. We left and won’t be going back. Too bad, used

The sweet tart was AMAZING!!! Parking is difficult but so worth if you want a smoothie. The person working was so kind and patient with my indecisive self.

We found this spot after a morning hike and glad we did. I ended up getting the Honey Bee (basic but I'm picky lol) and as a person who does not tend to like Honey this shake was delicious! The guy working the counter was extremely helpful and honest. Inside was really clean and had a decent amount of seating. Will definitely be back to try something else. Parking could be annoying depending on the time of the day.
