Smoothie bowl was ok, had big hunks of frozen peaches where they didn’t care enough to blend it fully.

EDIT: 9/14/2024 Changing my prior review to 1 star. I live in San Diego so I hardly get to eat here anymore, but I was driving into town and tried to place a phone order at approximately 5:30 PM and again approximately 5:35 PM. Unfortunately no one picked up the phone so I figured I would get here 15 minutes before closing to order in person. When I arrived, I had to wait for a few minutes. Eventually, one of the employees told me that the kitchen closed at 5:30pm, despite the sign on the door saying 6pm. It was 15 minutes before closing when I arrived. The woman whose order they did take said she arrived no more than 5 minutes before me. When I asked if there was a manager to speak with, I was told there was no manager and that there would be no manager all week. The employee that I spoke with said his name was Carlos. The other customers and I all walked out confused and upset by the experience.
The employees turned off the lights and left the shop by around 5:55pm, despite the hours listed on the door and online saying they close at 6pm.
Prior review: This was my first time trying Paradise Bowls and I loved it! Ordered on the phone and my açaí bowls were ready when I arrived. The portion size is huge for the price. Other places in the area charge a lot more for the same or smaller size. Highly recommend!

Fruit on top is fresh, not frozen! The flavor is way better than other places because of it

Fruit is not fresh and the customer service was way below par for a place at this caliber. I would not recommend coming with a medium/bigger group as the workers work incredibly slow.

Hello, I recently came in on November 18th, at around 1:30 PM. The gentleman behind the counter who took my order made me feel very uncomfortable and asked for my number. I don’t think this was appropriate being that the guy was on the clock. 1 star for professionalism. But I will give an extra star because the food was made properly.

Been coming here for years and I really like their bowls but the prices have gotten a bit out of control… over $13 for a medium bowl? I think is a bit excessive. They are pretty quick with making their bowls though, and customer service is good. some seating available inside and more available outside in the shade. They have added new things to the menu like bagels and avocado toast. And they have a selection of drinks and snacks to choose from as well if that’s what you’re in the mood for.
Dietary restrictions: Can easily make it vegan.

Went there today (Monday) around 2pm and the minute I walk in one of the male workers is sitting on the kitchen counter where they prep the bowls. Talk about infection control issue. Anyway I order a bowl which was good but overall the cleanliness was pretty bad. He had gloves on and he's touching his undershirt and then touching the food item and using the blender. I would skip it next time. Staff need to show better hygiene and infection control.
First meal of the day after an early cross country flight. It was very refreshing and I felt rejuvenated after we ate here. The staff were professional, the place was clean, and my bowl was delicious. This place is great!

We came by for a quick lunch. We ordered a small Gaucho and a medium Chocolate Arc. They were decent, nothing special. Not much interaction with the staff except when we placed our order. There is one table and a few window seats available for dining in.
