The juicery provides healthy and delicious drinks designed to invigorate the body and mind. Our “Pressed Juices” are never high pressure pasteurized, delivering significantly more nourishment and health benefits than traditional juicing methods. The juices are not only great for your body, but taste great too!
All Kreation juices are made from Farmer’s Market Certified Organic fruits and vegetables purchased locally in Santa Monica. They flood the body’s cells with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that cleanse, heal, and nourish.

Featuring a live jazz ensemble every night of the week, Bandera in the Brentwood neighborhood is the ideal location to grab a drink with friends or enjoy a romantic dinner. The sophisticated interior is complemented by a collection of modern art and a lively exhibition kitchen. Highlights include the Seattle-style salmon, grilled lamb sirloin and our banana cream pie.
It is right downstairs in the building and I must mention that it is expensive.
