Main Squeeze — Restaurant in Santa Monica

Absolutely shocked by our experience today (8/16/25). After paying for our smoothies, my girlfriend and I left the cashier to go stand by the door and wait. While walking there, the man behind the counter (who I hadn't interacted with yet), yelled something at me. Because I didn't understand him, I said "what", and he said you "you gonna give me a name or something for the order?!" when I told him my name, he said "you know what, you want a refund or something man?" Super confused at this point I was like "huh?". He proceeding to yell at me and ask if I wanted a refund and to get out of there. I was shocked by how angry this guy was and how he kept mean mugging me for no reason. The woman behind the counter apologized multiple times for his behavior and offered to comp our drinks, which was nice of her but we told her there was no need, we were just confused. I have never, and mean never, been confronted like that over nothing before, especially as a customer. We live locally and will never come back and never recommend this place to anyone....

I hate leaving bad reviews for small businesses like this, but just had an awful experience and honestly seemed to be everyone’s experience that day. 2hr wait for an average smoothie. Visiting from NY, no worries waiting for a good smoothie, just tell the people entering there’s a wait or put up a sign please.

The place is deceiving, only had about 8 people waiting, so I decided to get in line, after ordering and paying I had to wait 40 more minutes as customers came left and right that I never saw in the store to pick up smoothies; I’m guessing they paid hours ago. & left then came back.

0/5 experience would never come back, go support the smoothie place out front of Golds Venice, good people, hard workers. Smoothie is done in minutes tastes way better than this. Sorry main squeeze,...

Came in here for açai bowls, which both Google and the menu outside told us they have. They did not. Instead, we decided to get smoothies. Giving them two stars because the smoothies are good and healthy. The service was atrocious. First, I couldn’t tell that they were open because the person working there was hiding on the back on the telephone. The person working never greeted us, never smiled at us, and actually never spoke to me. The vibe made me so uncomfortable. I almost cancelled our order and walked out, and I probably should have. He scowled at us the entire time like we were interrupting him. I do not recommend this place. Also, I was here with my very well behaved three-year-old daughter who was quiet and sat in her stroller...
