Northside Shack - Point Loma

After their recent reopening, the shack has gone CHEAP! The bowls look sad and are nowhere near as full as it used to be. If this continues, I will be taking my business elsewhere having been a customer for over 4 years.

35 minute wait for a smoothie? I had to cancel my order. I don't think I've ever waited more than 10 minutes for a smoothie in my life. Really understaffed at this place. Avoid until they make some changes.

Great place. Love the bowls!!!

I had a deeply uncomfortable experience at this açaí place. While waiting in line, I noticed the staff being warm, bubbly, and friendly to the customer before me. But when it was my turn, the atmosphere shifted drastically. The staff member became cold, dismissive, and even rolled her eyes at me. It felt like I was being treated differently, and unfortunately, the interaction came across as racially biased. No one deserves to feel unwelcome or disrespected based on how they look. I won't be returning, and I hope the business takes this as an opportunity to reflect on their customer service and the values they promote.

So insanely delicious. Just please don't increase the prices as they are already borderline for regular people.

The açaí and smoothies here are pretty good, though the smoothies can turn out too watery sometimes. The staff is not good. They often do not listen when you share your order, ask you to repeat it, and then still get it wrong. We enjoy coming here for the food, but always dread the service. A little more attention would go a long way. Also—everything is quite expensive.

I was driving through Point Loma and I felt the craving for a snack, something sweet and yet I wanted something healthy. I did a quick search and headed to Northside Shack to see what they had.

Northside Shack is located just off the road, in a small business plaza that houses other establishments.

I lucked-out because there was a parking space available right in front. I can tell that this may be a tricky location to access if not on foot.
Luckily, there's also street parking on the side of the road.

I like the way that the menu is broken down and separated, which made it easier to choose what I wanted.
I was even happier when I realized I can customize my smoothie the way I wanted it. I ended up getting The Protein & added cocoa nibs to it.

It was delicious & nutritious and definitely was satisfying.

I feel that the only con to this location is that there is no seating area, and if there is a line and a wait-time for your order, you're gonna end up standing around.

I really appreciated the kind and attentive service and made a smoothie was delicious and I recommend Northside Shack if in the area.

Parking: Well, I was able to find parking directly in front of the establishment, I can tell that if there is ever a crowd here, it will be a hassle trying to find street parking.

The best Açaí bowl hands down! I got a medium Açaí with hemp granola, banana, strawberry, mango, honey, coconut & blueberries. The fruit was incredibly fresh and it was so delish! The prices are very reasonable for the portions and quality of ingredients. This will be a must visit spot anytime I'm in SoCal.

This is one of the best smoothie locations in all of San Diego. They use high-quality ingredients, including their own almond milk that they make in house!

Stopped in for an acai bowl this morning and wasn’t disappointed! The portion was huge! I went with the large and it was so good.
I’m super impressed at how much fruit they put on top. Other places don’t give the value you’ll find here.
I went with acai for my base and then added peanut butter with granola and fruit.
My only complaint is the charge for peanut butter
