Craving acai bowl for brunch and this place did not disappoint! Fair warning though their menu is very extensive with more options than I needed. Be aware also of the bowls with nuts if you have nut allergy but they do have nut free options. They mix fruit and ingredients into their acai too. Not much space to sit inside. We took ours to go. The larger size is almost $20 but it filled me for lunch and didn't have to feel guilty for overeating. Also there's a sign warning you your order will take a while because they need to make everything. Don't come here if you're in a huge hurry but I saw you can order ahead and come pick up.

Wanted a tangy blueberry smoothie, which they didn't have on the menu, so the man at the counter assisted me with making a custom smoothie. I just had him use the ingredients I usually use at home. Strawberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt, coconut water, lemon, honey. Delicious!

Amazing. Everything gluten free. Had the Koa oats porridge and the Trailblazer. Add almonds and almond butter!

Could open earlier though please!

Everything can be vegan too.

Bare bowls has some of the best acai bowls I have ever had. The granola is delicious and the presentation of the bowls are simply beautiful. You can make changes or additions to any bowl you want. The place is well lit and makes for a good Instagram opportunity.

45 min wait time when there were not that many people in the store.

Great açaí bowls! Shockingly the only place I’ve had in the Bay Area with the correct serving bowls (most put them inside frozen yogurt cups… which make a mess).

This place has a sign that gives you ideas of what to do while you wait for your food. Ask the person next to you how their day is going, think of 5 things you're grateful for, text someone you love and tell them why you love them, and read a book. I like that they gave me these ideas. If you plan on going here, I wanted to share a few ideas as well. You can try to touch your nose with your tongue. You can twiddle your thumbs. This one is my favorite, you can enter a thumb and pinkie war with yourself and see if David can beat Goliath. If you decide to do this one, I'd suggest using them both at full strength even if you have a favorite. This can be the toughest part, but you want it to be a fair fight, without the influence of your mind, which may not be possible. Still it's worth trying, imagine if you wanted your pinkie to win and it did! It was somehow able to defy all the odds! I love a good underdog story. Just be careful, it's not worth breaking your pinkie over, trust me. Also if you decide to twiddle your thumbs before the thumb and pinkie war, just remember to twiddle your pinkies before battle as well. Ideally, both of them are equally warmed up before the fight. Anyway, feel free to use any of these ideas to pass the time while you wait for your food here. I got the hippie bowl, it tasted super healthy.
