“Delicious food and great service. Rosie went above and beyond to make my meal perfect. When I accidentally left something in there and walked out, she came out of the building and caught my attention down the block. You can tell she really cares about her customers. I will be back!“
“Whenever my significant other and I want to get acai bowls, we always find ourselves coming to this business. The first time I went here, I didn't know what to expect. I knew acai was good for you but I wasn't sure if it would taste good. I was pleasantly surprised. I have not had a bowl that I did not like. Even more so, I did not find out until recently that they had a skin care line. I absolutely adore skincare products so the fact they had specific items to help with skincare from the inside out got me ecstatic. The location is a small permanent stand in the union market area. There are a multitude of other businesses in the complex. It does tend to get a little crowded in the area during busy hours. If you are not a fan of crowds, I would highly suggest going during slow times and days because it can be very overwhelming. There is a decent amount of parking but because there are some many people that frequent the area, I personally do not feel there are enough spots. I know there is an underground parking garage but you will have to pay for that. That being said, I absolutely love everything about the food and the vibes and will find myself coming here for quite some time.“
“This was my second Açaí Bowl experience, and my favorite! Look at that picture, the fruit is fresh and piled high! The granola was so good too! I should have drizzled some honey on the top or gotten some of the chocolate pieces. That would have set it off. But it was awesome as it comes. I am a sweet girlie, and the Açaí mixed with pineapple was perfect! The service was great, quick, easy, and friendly. The establishment was clean, I even had to use the restroom and that was clean too. I enjoyed sitting there to eat too, they have big windows to look out of which was nice.“
“In order to get my health in line, I've decided to eat more/drink more produce. This decision isn't cheap but I'm giving it a shot. After having some extremely expensive Smoothies from Fruitive the past couple of days, I decided to give Zeleno a shot. I ordered the Mango Dragon Smoothie, Acai Bowl, and the Classic Wellness Shot. I spent about $2 less for all this than I would have at Fruitive just for a Smoothie. I spent $33 for all this at Zeleno compared to $35 at Fruitive. I ordered online yesterday for pickup today through the Toast app and had no issues walking in and grabbing my items. The space is small, but charming. I was very impressed with the Acai Bowl and Smoothie but the Wellness Shot was extremely tart and spicy. I wasn't sure what to expect but I can say it wasn't for me. I like the fact I can get more bang for my buck here compared to Fruitive and might make this my daily spot during the week for breakfast.“
“I’ve been coming to the Union Market location for about a year mainly for breakfast most weekends and I keep returning. Why? Excellent food and drinks, strong coffee, outstanding service and a very nice ambiance. Luckily it’s across the street from my apartment building.Parking: There is a garage parking option a block away that is free for 3 hours, otherwise there's paid street parking available. Difficult to find street parking during busy times of the day. Easy in the mornings.Wheelchair accessibility: Street to restaurant access is easily accessible by wheelchairs with no steps involved. Front door is double wide; however, need to open manually. Staff will happily help open the doors.“
“The Mermaid Bowl was so refreshing - I definitely recommend it! South Block had a great selections of juices, smoothies, and bowls so it was hard to choose. My husband had the Cave Monkey smoothie and he absolutely loved it. Again, 10/10 - I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.“
“Great healthy food here. The prices are a bit steep so it's more of a treat than a daily routine. The overnight oats were delicious, and the avocado toast was that plus a work of art! The dining area is bright and cheery, but you'll be just as happy taking an order to go.“
“Stopped in for a quick and lite lunch around 1 p.m. and had next to no wait. I ordered the Fig & Prosciutto toast as well as the Tropi-Kale smoothie. The smoothie was excellent, and the large size is a great value over the medium - $9.99 for a smoothie, but that is in line with Tropical Smoothie and other places that offer similar products. The toast was fairly disappointing though, for $9.49 the piece of toast was much smaller than anticipated. I believe it was sourdough but the size of the toast was maybe 1/3 smaller than anticipated and for the price I would have opted for another menu item. As far as taste goes, the prosciutto was decent but the fig jam was disappointing. I will be back for the smoothie but I will avoid toast items in the future.“
“I recently visited South Block at George Washington University and was highly impressed with the quality of their smoothies! The ingredients were fresh and the flavors were delicious. I loved the fact that they offered a wide variety of smoothies, with different combinations of fruits, veggies, and other natural ingredients. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they even helped me use my gift card to pay for my order. Overall, I recommend South Block smoothies for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious treat!“
“Downtown DC needed a great juice bar for a long time, and it finally has one. This gem is great. The staff is super friendly, and my order came out quickly. Lots of variations to choose from. This is definitely my afternoon go-to spot in downtown DC.“
“Loved stopping here for the past three days. Fast service, consistency, and tasty. Got the lavender latte and it was just the right amount of flavor and came out with a pretty milk heart on top every time.Valentina was very nice and remembered me from the days before. Notably no parking in front of the shop, but the side street has plenty of street parking and the area is very walkable.“
“On a recent work trip to DC we were looking for pre-event fuel. Smoothies are the perfect snack to leave you feeling full but with the pep in your step you need to host an event. We all opted for the Blue Mystique which has banana, spirulina, banana, pineapple and mango. I added protein to mine and it was tropical, refreshing and delicious. They offer toasts, bowls, juices, smoothies and coffee. This seems like a great grab and go healthy option if you're in the area, and there are quite a few of these around town. Parking is a bit tricky in this area but thankfully we were a group so we hopped out of the car to order with ease.“
