Oakberry Acai Bowls &Smoothies | Santa Barbara

This is a difficult review to give. I think it would have been fabulous if the circumstances were different. We couldn't find parking. We parked .4 miles away. Had some difficulty finding the shop because Google Maps directed us to the wrong place. Our online order was bagged, kept in a cooler, and the sealed bag had some insulation. I was impressed by this. I asked if there were spoons and was told they were in the bag. We ordered two acai bowls. We walked the .4 miles back to the car and headed to the beach. My daughter's vacation dream included eating an acai bowl on the beach. We got to the beach and only had one spoon in the bag. So she ate hers, which had already melted quite a bit. Mine continued to melt as I waited to use her spoon when she was done. It was disappointing to not have two spoons. Mistakes happen. But since we were vacationing, new to the area, and didn't have spare cutlery we definitely did not get a good feel for what a freshly made acai bowl would taste like from Oakberry. Next time I will check the bag for spoons and insist we eat on-site.

I went on a roadtrip and stopped in Santa Barbara for a few days and the service was quick and the food was delicious! I got the crunchy açaí bowl and modified it with whey protein! It was both yummy and pretty and the fruit was fresh! I really appreciate the ingredient lists and ability to alter the açaí bowls. The environment and music was also peaceful yet fun. The vines along the walls and the ceilings were also gorgeous! I have zero complaints!

Twice visited. A kind gentleman prepared my Crunchy Bowl to perfection. So delish. Busy DT days, parking can b tight. Quality menu is worth the walk, if applicable. A fav when in town.

Deliciously healthy alternatives to junky snack foods. Super food like açai is awesome and provides us with so much more energy. The one I got was like the perfect taste of bubble gum. Nice healing benefits for when you’re out of the loop. Such beautiful plants inside.

The açaí bowl was good. But the service was terrible. There was one young lady behind the register. She was talking to someone on her cellphone, on speaker. She was too busy with that conversation to greet us or ask if we had any questions. The topic of her conversation was interesting (someone made out with someone else) but it was entirely inappropriate. She even jokingly cussed at the person she was on the call with, while making our order. She couldn’t care less about providing good service.

My açaí bowl was mediocre. The açaí was very watery, it was practically a smoothie. However the staff was very friendly!

Delicious açaí bowl! Did taste like added sugar, but was fabulous. Add the seasonal passion fruit topping.

Açaí doesn’t taste good compared to any place I’ve been. Way too sweet. Taste like bubblegum.

Best açaí bowls around! My family are local and will be customers forever but please for the love of god turn on the AC or make use of a fan it is so stuffy and humid in here which is very unsettling when the establishment is selling COLD food. Please.

Best açaí bowl I’ve ever

Came in for a smoothie type drink. Looked at menu that said create your own and add up to three toppings. Nope, can’t do that. Asked if they could make it with just water not coconut water. Nope, can’t do that. Asked for a 12 ounce and not 16 ounce. Nope can’t do that. I’m so confused.
