Independently owned since 2006 at the foot of Newport Avenue, O.B. Smoothie Bar & Sub Express runs a juice-and-bowl counter operation a block from the Ocean Beach Pier serving acai bowls, hand-blended smoothies, fresh-squeezed vegetable juices, and breakfast bagels. The 32-ounce jumbo smoothie size and the bee-pollen acai-bowl add-on differentiate the menu from the prepared-bowl-and-grocery format at Krisp Beverages + Natural Foods two blocks east on Newport. The Breakfast of the Gods smoothie blends strawberries, bananas, peaches, blueberries, plain yogurt, apple, and orange juice into the menu's highest-protein morning option, with a soy or apple-juice base available for the acai bowls. Fresh produce arrives in stacked crates throughout the week, with the seasonal-fruit rotation aligned to the Wednesday Newport-Ave farmers-market calendar at Ocean Beach Farmers Market a half-block south. The pre-surf morning rush — surfers refueling on bowls and jumbo smoothies before sessions at the OB Pier and Sunset Cliffs — represents the counter's highest-velocity revenue window and the operational reason the kitchen runs an early breakfast shift.
