Fruit Gallery

This fruit/​juice bar is located around the corner from the boardwalk. It’s a rather small, yet homey location. The fruit bar offers juices, smoothies, fruit bowls, and wraps, among other things. My friend and I both opted for the pitaya smoothie, as we were craving it in the Los Angeles heat. Unfortunately, the smoothie was overpowered by the taste of bananas. This smoothie did leave me thirstier than I had arrived. Even though this fruit bar was not my ideal stop, the service was fast and efficient.

My acai bowl did not look like any of the pictures. It was like premade Frozen acai mix and was too cold, like sherbert ice cream. Not worth the price at all.
It also was in this hard to hold plastic bowl. Not the large cups that are in the pics.

Best juice, best price, best value.

Eh… every experience I have here is different. There are days where the people working are really really nice and everything is fast and tasty, and other days where I’ve gotten eye rolls and rudeness along with some freezer-​tasting smoothies. Thats why it’s really hard to give a straightforward review, because I think it depends who you come into contact with. I think they recently hired some new people, because this woman I had never seen before gave me some serious sass when they were busy and that really put me off this place. I get it, you’re busy, and I’m trying to be as quick as possible, but that doesn’t mean you should be rude because I’m trying to sub something out!
I think the best bet is just avoiding the typical rush times, like lunch. Come earlier or later.

Dude this place is sick! Excellent quality, prices, and customer service. Friggin in love!

***The wraps are big enough to share between two***
It def satisfied my craving for a bite to eat and a smoothie! A bit on the expensive side, but I’d say what I had was well worth it.
I ordered the Muscle Head smoothie, which has blueberry, banana, protein, & peanut butter. This was rich and flavor and very good.
I ordered the Black Bean Patty on a collard green wrap. Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I knew I wanted to try something dif and I was thoroughly impressed by how flavorful this was. It’s a huge portion and I would totally share this W someone as I did with this hobo that was right outside. I was moved and felt bad by this kid that was hanging outside, and I felt that I could help, so I offered him half of my wrap.
I’m not bringing this up to toot my own horn, but bc of the following:
This is were they lose that 5^th star from me and it’s not the Fruit Gallery’s fault and the boardwalk has always had this problem, but it’s a little difficult to enjoy your meal in the 3 very very very little tables outside while you have several hobos out front of the establishment in a very altered mental state… in other words, they are high AF… I’m not an a**hole, but I believe we all want to enjoy our meal with some peace. I highly suggest you swing by and give the Fruit Gallery a try, but I suggest you take it to the beach which is a few yards away.
Btw, great customer service. Keep it up guys!

I enjoyed the wide range of smoothies and bowls. I got the ginger dee lite (coconut water, pineapples and other things) it was very refreshing. I really love pineapples and dislike the taste of coconut but pineapple did a great job at masking the taste. I also tried the strawberry, banana, peach one and it was below okay. Nothing worth mentioning and the fruits were over powered by the strawberries (which in my opinion if I get a smoothie with different fruits it’s because I want to taste all of them). Also had the tuna wrap and it was okay, the sauce wasn’t flavourful and the ratio with tuna, tortilla and greens were off. Needs more seasoning and texture. Overall would come back but nothing special.

This place is a go to for me from snacks to lunch to juicing. If you’re feeling sick, take one of their booster shots. For lunch the vegan patty, hummus sandwich, and turkey sandwich are all great. Personal favorite on the juices is the «Body Detox». Finally they have a vegan crêpe that they fill with banana, almond, date, cashew cream, and top with coconut that will seriously wow you. Great place all around!

Not organic juices but some of their products are Non-​GMO and they appear knowledgeable and transparent about their inventory. The owners still make juices and smoothies themselves sometimes, and they are both so friendly, so I get a real neighborhood vibe from this place.

I had the ACAI Smoothie made into a bowl.
It was huge and still came in a smoothie cup. It really wasn’t a bowl at all, just a smoothie with fresh fruits on top!
It was nice and tasty for a smoothie but next time I crave an ACAI bowl, I’ll just go back to my favorite bowl place to have a real one!
Also, the street Fruit Gallery is on, perpendicular to the beach, is not super nice.
There were flies all over the tables on the patio which made us want to leave right when we got our «bowls»! The staff was really nice and hopefully they can take into consideration some comments to make the experience better :-)

I would give 5 stars for being delicious, however EVERY SINGLE TIME I have called ahead for pickup, they forget. Every.single.time. What is the point of providing that service if it is never, ever fulfilled? When I am on my way to work I call ahead and they say «10 minutes». When I get there, they say 10 more. I have wound up with no breakfast or lunch for the day because their inability to take pickup orders. I call ahead so I don’t have to wait. Be warned!

Hole in the wall… sight for sore vegetarian eyes!!! Thank you!!! Black bean patty wrap is delicious

Good smoothies. Just the right amount of everything. Nobel at the counter was very helpful and friendly. Will totally go back.

Best place in Venice for fresh salads, wraps, smoothies, and juices! The menu has a lot of variety, so there’s always something new to try. Super great options for vegans and vegetarians too! My favorite options are the super smoothie bowls (pitaya) which comes with granola and fruit, and the Beet Goes On fresh pressed juice. Service is fast and friendly, and Nobel is the absolute homie! Always welcomes his customers with a smile :) I love coming here and would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for great tasting healthy grub!

There are tons of crap food in Venice. After walking past pizza, churros, hot dogs, etc I was relieved to find this restaurant tucked away. I had no intention of reviewing this place but my wrap was excellent so I feel obligated. I ordered the chicken club wrap which has: avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato, cucumber, carrot, purple cabbage, spring mix and a choice fruit, Potato Salad or Pesto Basil Pasta. I got fruit which was just orange slices. But who the wrap was great. And huge. This is my new go-​to spot when I need something healthy on the boardwalk.
They have a couple small tables out front but otherwise it’s all take-​out.

The fruit gallery needs to be known! Stopped by because I was looking up a smoothie place and thank god I came here! Handcrafted smoothie taste authentic rather than the pre-​made *cough*cough* jamba juice. I will definitely become a regular after having the first smoothie. Next time I come in, going for the wraps next! Cheers!

Love loooove the wraps here. I usually get tuna or chicken because turkey tastes like sandwich meat. Pretty sure they’re all actually sandwich meat lol.
You can choose to get collard greens on the outside instead of a tortilla and it’s pretty yummy. They do run out later in the day though. The smoothies are soooo good I love the Ugly Girl and Hangover. I hear the juices are pretty good too but I’m not a juice person so I haven’t enjoyed them myself. But I’m just a hater.
Service is super quick! I call in my order ahead of time during meal hours because they do get packed.

This is the Spot. My co-​workers and I go here every week. They have wraps and the best pressed juice is amazing. Nice workers and very helpful!
Get the Acai Bowl!

One of my favorite spots on the boardwalk! At least one person in my office goes to this place every single day. We are hooked on their juice shots and green juice, their «Body Detox.» They’ll serve 16oz of green juice for $ 6.50 which is pretty good considering you’ll get the same drunk for well over $ 10 anywhere else.
They also sell great wraps! The wraps are like $ 7 or $ 8 and you get 2 wraps and a side. The grilled chicken one is my favorite.
For those trying to do a cleanse, they sell you all the juices for $ 120.
We’ve got our other offices hooked on this place too!

Pricey as much as juices go in Los Angeles, but their smoothies and acai cups are so yummy!
Great location off of the Venice boardwalk, and the wait can get a little long at times, as it’s usually a one-​man show. Fresh fruits and a clean belly feeling after sipping and munching on their products!
Best bang for your buck? The acai bowl, hands down.
