Don’t get me wrong, the acai bowl itself is 5/5. But the service is 1/5. When I picked up my acai bowl, it was all melted so I requested a new one. I waited 15 extra minutes just to get another melted bowl lol. At this point I think they just serve whatever half-melted acai bowl to customers. Oh, also they are very, very slow. The photo was taken right after I got my 2nd (another) melted bowl.

Phenomenal bowls and incredible service Katelyn was so helpful and she made the entire experience super enjoyable! You could tell the good quality of the bowls me and my husband ordered a chocolate arc with blueberries and a kokomo smoothie and both were fantastic. The music was great and really set the atmosphere this is my new favorite acai place by far. Keep it up guys!!!

Wasn't in the mood for a heavy dinner tonight and was really craving something refreshing. With a quick Yelp search I found Paradise Bowls near me! The store was empty an hour before their closing at 6 pm so I was able to order quickly. I opted for a medium Chocolate Arc subbed with coconut milk instead of almond and extra strawberries in place of coconut. The worker was super accomodating and patient in explaining their menu and the bowl itself was delicious. A medium is $12.50 which is an incredible price for how much you get - there is even a smaller option for $10. This is a really decently priced place for high quality Acai/Pitaya bowls and smoothies. Shop was clean and there was a small counter and bench for those who choose to enjoy their fruity treat inside. I will definitely be back!

Went in at 5:35pm. Closing time on Yelp and on their doors state 6pm. We were told we couldn't order bc they are backed up with 10 orders. The guy was nice about it but wow, how the heck do u run a business like that? Maybe post ur closing time at 5:30 if all orders are STOPPED at 5:30? Never been to any food establishment that does that. Weird and a sure way to lose customers. Apparently I'm not the only that experienced this based on the other poor reviews.

Don’t come here if your in a hurry. Are they really “sorry for the wait”. If they were really sorry wouldn’t something change?

Purchased 24oz Maui Wow Me bowl. $12.25. The portion is a lot but it was well worth the price. One star off or if I had the ability to just give 4.5 star instead of a whole star. Reason is because my mangoes were bitter and my banana was not ripe. Thankfully, the honey and other items in the bowl made it sweet. If I compared this franchise vs blue bowl. I'd probably get paradise bowl because of the portion size, the price i paid for was equivalent to an 16oz at blue bowl. Also I get a lot more fruit here. However, paradise bowl does not offer blue chia pudding and does not offer more bases like blue bowl. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would come here again. There's seating inside and outside. Great staff and many selection drinks in the store. Also, this storefront is literally next to Tastea if you were wondering... haha.

I ordered take out for 4 orders by phone. It was ready in 15 min. We got 2 Gauchos, 1 Peach Bum and 1 Coconut Breeze. It was super smooth and easy to order by phone and easy to pick up and pay. There's a pickup parking spot which made it convenient and luckily it wasn't too busy on. Sunday around 11am.Everyone was satisfied with their order and I personally enjoyed my Gaucho with everything on it.

There was no greeting upon arriving. Everyone looked like zombies wearing earplugs, staring at you without any facial expression.After placing the order, we waited for over 10 minutes, and then they informed us that they had run out of pineapple. So, I asked for the regular red fruits instead.---Coconut Breeze without Pineapple: The berries are tiny and thin, the coconut lacks fragrance, and the acai blend is rather bland. It's a boring acai bowl.Then, I noticed watermelon and pineapple in the kitchen area. It seems like nobody wanted to cut open the fruits. Or maybe those are 1:1 sized props that just look almost real. Either way, there are plenty of other acai bowl places open in O.C.

I love the acai bowls. Great options and many ways to customize. Always been consistent. Staff could be a little more friendly or attentive, and the overall atmosphere is lacking, but the product is solid.

I use to always come here during highschool but now it's no longer my favorite acai/smoothie bowl place. This time the base was extremely watery and sour and the granola was soggy. I hope this was just today as I remember this place as always being consistent with their quality.
