Casual acaí spot with chill modern vibes. Food was great, some of the best bowls I've had.

Food good but slow. Main issue is I saw the man working take off his glove to sign for a package and then put it on again inside out! So the inside that was touching his hand is now on the outside and touching my food!

Slightly disappointed, came in and ordered a smoothie, at 12:26pm. There was a group of four ahead of me, each ordered a bowl. I noticed there were about 5 employees that I saw working and sadly it took 20 minutes to get my smoothie. I realize fresh food takes time, but 20 minutes for $12 smoothie seems like a long wait time. Always been a fan of BYB, actually worked there myself many years ago, wish wait times were not so long. Thanks anyways, they always taste delicious.

Typical açaí bowl. Priced a bit higher than what I’ve experienced. We ate our bowls outside.

Just have to express how much I love the smoothie bowl here. One of the best!

The island bowl is amazing!!! So creamy with generous portions and fresh fruit. Add peanut butter and honey, you won’t regret it! Came here 3 out of 4 days on our trip after trying it once.

Everything was great! Very healthy açaí bowl with tons of options. Very glad I stopped by. The staff was amazing and full of smiles!

Came in for what I thought would be a quick bite. I don't know who was working today but almost half an hour wait time for avocado toast is beyond ridiculous for something with 3 ingredients. The place was not that busy either.

We tried the berry bowl, the oatmeal and the unicorn smoothie, it was all delicious and very nutritious. Staff is very friendly.

Friendly staff, restroom is way far away. $11 small acai bowl was good. Minus two stars for the machine prompting for a tip before I ever saw the food, so annoying. I wish businesses would stop this ridiculous practice.

Terrible service. Thakes hour to get your order, but before making you wait that long they will tell you wait for 5 minutes and then another 5 after another 15 and so on.

More robust and varied menu than the average smoothie or açaí bowl place, vegan options, modifications allowed, fresh ingredients, and generous portion sizes. I will be visiting again soon, and highly recommend this spot!

5 stars for quality, 1 star for price. A regular bowl is now barely a snack for $13 + tax.
