“Over this past weekend I found myself craving an açaí bowl. In the past, I have enjoyed the açaí primo bowl at Jamba Juice, but I wanted to continue pursuing my goal to personally seek out small business alternatives. Amazon Juices was a fantastic find. I was greeted kindly by Hannah, the lovely cashier who helped me this Sunday. I informed her that I had never been there before, and she answered my many questions considerately. I definitely wanted to try their açaí bowl, but was between the two sizes they offer. Hannah pointed out the minuscule price difference, which led me to go with the 24oz, and I'm very happy I did. I requested that honey, chia seeds, & coconut be added. It was delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of that bowl. The amount of granola that the bowl comes with was very generous, and the same goes for all the toppings I asked for. Without the toppings I ordered, the price was about the same as the açaí bowl at Jamba juice, except you'll get a higher quantity of better quality ingredients here. My only complaint - No goji berries! I think you guys could really benefit from adding that as a topping option. I know I'd order it.“

“Great place to relax and have some nice drinks, I tried two drinks, one bro g the emperor’s elixir which was delicious. They had a wide selection of drinks and one could easily be confused on what to order but they had tarot card readings that would help you pick a drink that day. How fun! I took some help from the tarot cards and was not at all disappointed. The vibe was super cool with hammocks all around to chill.“
“Four stars with the potential for 5 stars. Went on a whim today for a quick post workout mini meal. It's located on Portola right next to 'Over the Hill Saloon'. Do NOT use the Saloon parking lot. There are a handful of spots on the street and lots more if you turn down 38th and walk the half block back. It's a large indoor space that I feel could be utilized better, although it does make it feel roomy. It was a beautiful day so I enjoyed my açaí bowl outside. There is also a taco truck outside if you're with someone who isn't into açaí or smoothies. I had the 420 bowl, I forgot to tell them no honey so it was a little sweet for my preference. I was a little disappointed that it came in a plastic togo container. Being just a few blocks from the ocean I would expect something more sustainable. It would be wonderful if they switched to a corn based compostable plastic or paper. I would love to see protein powder as an add on too. It's pretty standard for açaí places and I was a little disappointed they didn't offer it (especially since I had just completed a workout). The woman who took my order was quick and efficient, there wasn't much chit chat - it was definitely more 'take your order'. I would love to see this place adjust those few things I mentioned or consider them. I think both options would be a crowd pleaser. I live closer to Samba Rock so they will still be my go to but I'm glad I tried this for when I'm on that side of town.“
“I love the acaì at this place. It’s the best in the area. I like all their options. The fruit is very fresh. The menu is very poorly organized so it’s kind of confusing to figure out at first. The service is pretty slow but I appreciate that they take their time. I disappointed that their prices have gotten so high. When I first starting coming a large was $10 and now it’s $18. It makes it so I can only come as a special treat instead of as a meal out option. I know times are hard for many businesses and prices are going up all over but it’s really too much for me.“
“I love ordering from my phone at work and having it ready for me by the time my lunch comes around, super convenient! The smoothies are fantastic but my favorite is the build your own açaí bowls, the smaller size is enough for me to eat all day during my work shift. I can't find a whole lot of spots in this area that are consistently good. I recommend this is you're in the mall looking for something a little cleaner to eat!“
