Leno I give you 10 stars keep up the good work and you will be seeing me in there everyday!
Cindy Nakamura,

i like the smoothies

This place is cute and in a great location with parking, however I did their juice cleanse today and am super disappointed. The cleanse is PACKED with sugar and calories! Worst cleanse ever– save your money and go else where.

LENO! My go to spot for fresh acai bowl and smoothies. The first time I tried Leno Juice Bar I fell in love. A couple buddies had dragged me to Leno when I wasn’t a fan of acai bowls due to horrible experiences from other locations.
I ended up trying Leno Juice Bar and their acai bowls are the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, organic and just truly amazing. Make sure you get the #2 bowl with all the free toppings and make sure to add pineapple. Also don’t sleep on their smoothies. When I go, I also get the super charging smoothie with all the superfood add ins. Once you try it, you’ll see what myself and others are talking about.
If you feel adventurous, take a shot of ginger. It will sting, but the natural benefits will come a long way.

Every time I come to USC to visit my girlfriend, we’ll come to Leno’s at least two or three times for their delicious açai bowls. I drool over the Sweet Açai bowl, while my girlfriend loves the Chocolatey one.
I’d highly recommend Leno’s to anyone looking for a cheap/​tasty snack!

I love Leno! I live above it so it is very convenient for me. However, there is one hour retail parking in the garage of my building, if you cannot find a space on 27^th. I recommend the Pineapple Digesting and the Sweet Green smoothies, as well as the Chocolatey Acai Bowl (if you like the taste of acai). I personally do not like the taste of the non-​dairy cream on the bowls, but I love the optional shredded coconut. They also have loyalty punch cards. Enjoy!

LENO JUICE BAR is AWESOME! Some people would have bad reviews about it but whenever I go there I always enjoy my acai bowl and smoothies. I like how I can create my own smoothie and add on other flavors that is not from the menu. Staff is nice and I understand why they don’t take out a lot of their products because they want to keep it fresh before they sell it instead of leaving it out throughout the day. Thank you Leno Juice Bar!

I had the acai bowl, and it was not very tasty. The architecture and design of the establishment was unique and pleasant, but I can’t get past the taste of their bowls.
The acai tasted terrible. It didn’t taste fresh, and it didn’t really even taste like acai. I wouldn’t of been able to finish the bowl alone.
On the plus side however, they are generous with their toppings and there is a lot of fruit to compliment the bowls.

Love how their smoothies are juiced and not blended with any syrups or too much ice. I would recommend the Special Greens or Antioxidant Berries smoothie. Their organic smoothies are juiced first, then blended. They don’t add a whole lot of ice either so you can keep drinking without getting a brain freeze.
The owner is a super nice guy too and will go to lengths to take care of you. You really can’t go wrong with any of their smoothies – it’s all real stuff. So get that!

Leno, like every other juice bar, sells smoothies, acai/​pitaya bowls, wellness shots, and pressed juices in bottles. They claim to press their juices every morning except Saturdays. I’ve had their Sweet Acai Bowl, Sweet Pitaya Bowl, the Pineapple Digesting Smoothie, and the Breakthrough Pressed Green Juice.
This was probably the worst acai bowl I’ve ever had. The frozen acai packets weren’t blended properly and I had chunks of it inside my bowl that I had a hard time biting through. Ugh, gross. Leno gives you three free topping options: vegan cream, coconut flakes, and agave. I would stick with just the coconut flakes and agave since the vegan cream (which tastes like regular whipped cream) is too sweet doesn’t go very well with the bowl. The pitaya bowl I got was much better, there were no chunks and everything was all good, except it melted really quickly. I bought it and didn’t eat it until 20mins later but it was already half melted…
The smoothies here are pretty good, but nothing special to them. The pressed juice here is also very standard except its $ 8.5, which is a lot more expensive than other pressed juices out there.
P A R K I N G:
Just pray that the street parking spots in front of Five Guys are open because if not, then good luck finding a parking space around the block.
All in all, because of the expensive prices matched with the subpar quality of their items, I have to say, out of all the juice bars I’ve been to, this is my least favorite one.

Awesome smoothies ! Rose was really helpful & gave us free samples. The smoothies were great. I tried the Green smoothie, which was really good.
Also, they have one hour free parking on the garage right next door.

Okay so here’s the deal…
I have my own drink and I don’t know what to call it. The cute girl with the red lipstick always preps it for me. But I have had other things from their menu. I don’t think about the price. Who says eating or drinking healthy is cheap??? They are all organic. My favorite thing is their vegan cream. That cream of theirs makes me go crazy!!! And how is it that it’s fat free??? I say, give me más!!!

Not very impressed by their juice. I came here with a friend after a night out of drinking, wanting to detox my body. I was asking the staff to switch out some of the ingridents and two of the three ingridents I asked for they didn’t have. It’s a little ridiculous for a place to have so much stuff listed on the menu but not having a lot of them at like 10 on the morning.

Came here for lunch: Sweet organic Pitaya bowl and a Special Green smoothie — $ 15
I only have a 30 minute lunch so I walk here to order a smoothie and a fruit bowl. Never takes more than 5 minutes to get my order. I usually wait longer at the coffee drink place across the street. Maybe it’s because I go on my lunch and this doesn’t really scream lunch but I’ve not experienced the delays that other Unilocalers have. There is usually two guys on staff and I’m helped right away as there are no other customers. Their Special Green smoothie is delicious! Not too thick and perfectly blended. I usually get an acai bowl and have always been fine with it. Today I tried the pitaya and it is HEAVEN! I LOVE IT so much better. Perhaps it’s because I got a sweet bowl but it is sooo good. By the time I got to work, I it was soupy but I didn’t care. The only thing I wish they had was a bag to carry my bowl but it’s not a deal breaker.

Leno is conveniently located by Lorenzo and West 27^th apartments, which makes it easy for students to pick up a juice or smoothie on the way to campus. However, it always seems to take much longer than expected to get my drink, even when there is no one in line before me.
Their smoothies are fresh, but they are too thin and watery for my preference. The same goes for their açai bowls — the liquid consistency made it very difficult to eat. I tried their cold brew coffee this morning. It was good, but a little too sweet. Also, the coffee and almond milk kept separating if it was not constantly shaken, which was something I have never experienced before and I’m not sure I was a fan of it.
Considering the runny texture and size of the servings here, Leno seems overpriced for what it offers, and I would recommend smoothies from elsewhere around campus instead.

Every time I go to Leno, I am more and more impressed with the quality of the drinks. I’ve never been disappointed with a smoothie there, and their small business atmosphere makes it possible to add or remove items from your smoothie as desired.
Unfortunately, them being a small business, the wait can sometimes be pretty long and they are a bit understaffed, but they make up for this in quality. Leno is conveniently located under W 27^th Apartments for USC students. It’s one of the few healthy options around campus. The only con, I’d really have to say, is the wait time.

Back before we had Nekter on campus and Amazebowls across the street, Leno may have been acceptable. But now, i have no reason to go.
The owner is nice but the product isn’t good. The acai bowls are waaaay too expensive (almost $ 10), too thin, and flavorless. I also don’t care for the weird grayish color. If I’m paying a premium for acai bowls, it better be the best sorbet and a big portion. Leno is neither.
As you can see from the photos, the containers they are served in vary. I got mine in the flatter container that resembles the top of the Seeds salad container. It was so small and soupy. There is no way it’s worth ten dollars and no way those two sizes are the same amount.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. After a miserable day of food poisoning, my friends told me to check out LENO and I am SURE to be coming back!!! I LOVE ACAI bowls but this was my first
Time trying the pitaya and it was DELICIOUS. I fee sooo much better and the guys who were helping me out were extremely kind and helpful :) I’m so stoked. I also bought a kombucha juice and it tastes amazing. I’m so happy, thank you!!!

Walked in and the two girls working the bar didn’t acknowledge that I came into the really small space so it was awkward at first. I was expecting this place to have fresh pressed juices. This place isn’t really a juice bar, there are green smoothies, Acai Bowls and coffee options on the menu.
I ordered the Happy Berry smoothie and the cashier looked perplexed by my order don’t understand why. It was pretty delicious!
From the looks of it the Acai bowl creating is time consuming so expect a wait regardless of what your ordering because the majority of the people who came in were ordering bowls.
I will say there was fear music being played, the majority of the fruits being placed in the smoothies were from a frozen bag of fruit…
I may come back just to try the Acai bowl.

I love Leno Juice Bar!
I found this place after walking into Five Guys. The owner is really nice and love how convienient it is in their place. You can order using an app and pick it up.
I also grabbed the liquid diet option with them and they walked me through everything to understand how it works!
They also have pre made salads in their but it runs out pretty fast! Try a couple things there, I’ve never yet been disappointed
