Acai Bowls near Bronx, NY

“I Love This Place & The Workers Are Amazing“

“Honestly, the healthiest cafe in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx, if not in the Bronx!“

“During this pandemic time. what's better then a ginger shot following a delicious Acai Bowl.“

“This location is so clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. I got the spirulina smoothie and not knowing what it was, the staff voluntarily offered to let me taste the flavour first. Highly recommend! And download the app first to gain points.“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“Eat everything!!! The service is impeccable!! The food is yummy!!!“

“Got Crunch Bowl today, as they ran out of strawberries, and had goji berries instead. Good for before or after a workout, I love the acai taste, and I had some jumbo blueberries today! As my gym is around this area, definitely I will come often.“

“Impecable el ambiente y la atención. Los bowls son súper recomendables! No se lo pierdan!“

“love the protein bowl! love all the juices!“

“Everything look amazing and the taste is even better! 😍 Hands down for Om Juice Bar! 🙌🏻💛“

“This açaí bowl is so delicious, and always seems to be made with very fresh ingredients. The açaí comes from a machine (like soft serve), which I feel gives a better consistency than some places that might blend it too thick or thin. Look, açaí bowls are expensive practically everywhere. Why not go somewhere like Oak Berry where you get UNLIMITED options?? So many great things to choose from here!

Vegetarian options: There isn’t any meat here. And although there are a few non-vegan options, almost everything is vegan as well.

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free granola at no additional charge at this location.“

“I would strongly recommend paying this place a visit. The food is great and the service is very fast.“

“Just tried the Protein Pro from JuicyCube and I’m obsessed. It’s the perfect blend of creamy and rich—banana and peanut butter give it that classic smoothie vibe, while the whey protein and almond milk make it super satisfying without feeling heavy. The cacao adds the perfect hint of chocolatey goodness. Great post-workout fuel or even as a meal replacement. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Lovely atmosphere and did my breakie the way this Australia gal likes it. Hope the new location does well!“

“Stumbled across the place during my walk this afternoon, popped in for a smash burger and fries and was delighted to find the food was excellent! The burger was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the fresh cut fries were crispy and delicious. What a pleasant surprise! Welcome to the neighborhood, Empire Shop!“

“Wonderful Experience. Beautiful cafe.. They have polite and kind servers. Jessica made amazing coffee.. We tried the Caramel and Pistachio latte.. It was so yummy.. Wasn't sweet or overpowering.. Just perfect. Also the Banana Chocolate was so yummy I wanted to get one more, but they got over by the time I went to pick more!! Will come back again for sure.. Andres was super kind and let us eat the Bannana cake first without paying for it. Also the smile that they gave us made us feel amazing!!“

“"Sobol's açaí bowls are simply delightful! The blend of fresh açaí, fruits, and toppings creates a symphony of flavors and textures. Each spoonful is a burst of goodness, making it a perfect treat for any time of day. Plus, their attention to quality and presentation adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Highly recommended for any açaí aficionado!"“

“Was my first time. Found the environment friendly and warm, Danna the lady who greeted me, I found to be knowledgeable, helpful and patient with all my questions, helped me decide and create the perfect customized smoothie. I was able to sample the berry smoothie which was great ( even though I'm not a fan of bananas as they usually overwhelm everything else, however they balance the ingredients / flavors well and liked the berry blend.
I was able to substitute ingredients to blend the perfect flavor I was looking for. Acai your way, and the Berry smoothies are great. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a healthy option or enjoy a good smoothie! If you're not sure what you want ask Danna, she is great with customers!“

“Awesome Açaí bowls and smoothies! 😋“

“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“

“Fresh and delicious bowls of goodness. Kind people. Lovely place. 🍌🥥🍒☀️🙏🌿“

“Love this place. It is a great place on the Upper West Side!“

“I love The Açai bowls and smoothies. The location is convenient and the food is healthy.“

“Reasonably priced with great options and nice service ^_^“

“This place is absolutely amazing! The owner Ricardo, has customized the entire menu to fit everyone’s needs and taste buds, which I can appreciate as well as everyone else, I’m sure. To name a few of my favorite menu items : The Red Velvet Smoothie (add protein powder and almond milk), The Peanut Butter Toast (omg) — The Merced Sandwich(add shrimp!!) Game changer trust me! The Guacamole was(no longer on the menu) incredibly fresh too, I also like The Horchata Latte. Basically, everything is delicious! And prices are reasonable, too! The place is very welcoming, featuring vibrant colors and artwork as well. Go check it out on your next lunch break! You won’t regret it! 10/10 stars.“

“Love coming here for bubble tea! Some of the best I’ve had in lower Manhattan. Service is quick and friendly too. Only a couple of barstools for seating so it’s more of an in-and-out kind of place. Their drinks tend to be on the sweeter end but if you let them know to make it half sweet then they turn out perfect for me.“

“A wide selection of Asai (and other based) bowls. Endless combinations of fruit with added garnishments. Reading the founders story and appreciating the immersive design of the location you can almost feel like you escaped from 2nd avenue off to a warm sunny beach elsewhere. Enjoy surfing the flavors of your bowl, there is no need for sunscreen and you won't need to clean up any sand before you get back home. There is an additional seating space to and a restroom inside. The servings are bigger than your average Asai bowl (may be enough for 2) but the prices are also relatively high.“

“Es lugar nuevo los jugos son frescos y saludables lo recomiendo le 5 estrellas y la gente muy profesional y buena vibra 🥤“

“I wish I could write another review! This playa bowl is amazing want to give a shot out to Wajid, he is amazing friendly and always makes me feel welcomed 🙏🏽. Older review ->.I went to the playa bowl location on 36 street in NYC on Sunday June 15th. Despite that the AC was not working and it was a hot summer day. The employees were friendly, attentive, and personable. I do not remember the name of the person who take my order but he was great. He even took the time to bring me my smoothie. He went above and beyond. I highly recommend this location and playa bowl in general. Haven’t been disappointed in any of there smoothies or bowls.“

“Acai bowls and fresh smoothies are the best!!!“

“Stumbled across Angie while visiting the area for a long weekend. Went back every morning! Incredible smoothies, excellent service, high attention to detail on curating unique and healthy recipes; better prices than Juice Generation or nearby alternatives“

“Best smoothies in the west village / Chelsea area. They are always made fresh right in front of you and the 10-12 dollar price is justifiable with its terrific taste. If I could have it everyday I would, but I tend to get one of very hot days and as a supplement to a traditional breakfast (bagel or bacon egg and cheese). Healthy and delicious alternative“

“Just found this place and couldn't be happier! The açaí bowl was phenomenal as was the smoothie I had (can never have too much fruit, lol). The service was super friendly and the place was spotless. Looking forward to trying everything on their menu! If you want a good bowl, this is THE place to go!“

“Amazing vibes, I’m always going back to try new things.
not very good customer service though — cannot get through online and have had some bad experiences with over charging and mess ups on the store’s or app’s part.

Dietary restrictions: There are a lot of juts involved in the store and products.“

“I’ve come in a couple of times and haven’t been disappointed once, the quinoa bowl is something to die for. Great for an anytime of day meal for on the go or to dine in. The restaurants is beautifully decorated and maintained, gives you a little taste of NYC. I 100% recommend trying the quinoa bowl and accompany it with a blueberry protein shake.“

“What an amazing and special experience we just had a frosty café. I went today for the first time with my two daughters ages 11 and nine who love Boba tea, while we were online we decided that we would also get six macaroons and started some friendly conversation with the lady in front of us. To our surprise, she paid for us and started a conversation about sharing blessings and paying it forward. We definitely got more out of this trip than we expected. We went for Boba tea and got blessings.“

“I frequent the Lafayette, LA location and have tried a variety of things and have never been disappointed. Juices are so delicious as are the bowls. My favorite treat.“

“We miss you guys! Best juices and smoothies in the city! Can't wait for the new location! Best of luck :)“

“This was the place I had my first açaí bowl, and I loved it. I am addicted now and come here pretty often. The fruit is fresh in every season, and the staff here are very lovely. For the people that have never been to this place or haven’t even tried an açaí bowl and want to, I definitely recommend coming here. 😊“

“Nice spot to grab some boba tea or smoothies. Most of the drinks are phenomenal, and the boba itself is sweet, but not overpowering, and is chewy, but not too chewy, making it perfect to my liking. I also enjoy how I am available to change the sugar and ice content, giving me the ability to tailor it to my liking even further. My only complaints are that the blender is loud, making it hard to communicate and understand the server. Also, the drinks from the “Butterfly Pea” series taste like water after a while. Overall, nice spot.“

“This hiding gem in the heart of Astoria serves a really delicious, fresh and savory dishes. I had the steak platter and killed it. I wasn’t expecting to finish it due to the hot weather and to the big portion they provide. But I did demolished that dish. A balance of fresh veggies. A well cook rice and diced steak . With their home made sauce and the nicest touch of guacamole . Keep the great job“

“Update - docking a star for an unnecessary feature on their cups.

As with almost every other place these days, the prices are a bit higher than I'd like; but still cheaper than some of the big chains. The smoothies are good, and the service is pretty quick.“

“This is a wonderful place. Staff is very professional and friendly. They offer a variety of juices, smoothies, oatmeals and many more delicious options. I am so glad I stopped by today.😊😊“

“I absolutely love and enjoy the classic acai bowl from this place , It’s so perfect and the fruit is high quality. My go to for when I’m craving an acai bowl. Only thing I didn’t like was the girl who was making my acai bowl didn’t change her gloves after touching money, please make sure your employees change their gloves after touching money. Other than that I really love this place!!“

“I love juice gardens fresh fruit bowls and smoothies! The guys who work there are always nice and welcoming. They work fast considering they have to dice and blend fresh fruit! My husband always gets a breakfast sandwich and protein smoothie.“

“It’s all about the bowls and bulletproof coffee here. And the juice bundles are top notch AND super affordable!“

“Very clean ,food taste great, the smoothie are amazing ,and excelent service“

“Great place! Great views!!!!“

“ThisBowl is like a boujee Sweetgreen. I can't even believe those words are leaving my lips, but here we are.

I wanted something clean and healthy after a mediocre workout, and had been recommended this place by a few trusted sources. I walked up at 7:52pm and was shocked when I was met with a line out the door. I was even more shocked when I opened the door and felt like I had just entered a wormhole to Beverly Hills.

It felt like a designer clothing store more than a restaurant: House music thumping, expensive art on the walls, and beautiful people draped in Artizia Puffers, Dover Street Market Hoodies, Arcteryx Beanies, baggy jeans paired with Jordan 4s, etc. Like who are y'all in here trying to see lmao.

I, in my zip up Kirkland hoodie, got to the front and ordered the Braised Beef bowl ($17) which consisted of braised beef, kale, cucumber, sweet potato, red onion, tamari ponzu, wasabi mayo drizzle, and umami nut crunch. It's sad that $17 is essentially the market price for a good fast casual bowl these days, but such is life. It's an evil world we live in.

I'm beast so I opted for double protein, but felt like I took a spinning back kick to the ribs from Jon Jones when it rang up for an extra $8. I should have told them to cancel it, but I'm really shy and insecure so I tapped that apple pay like the good little boy I am. $8 for some extra beef is NASTY WORK.

In fairness, this bowl was DELICIOUS and that extra beef was a true mound of beef. The sticky rice paired so well with the beef, kale, and sweet potatoes. I mf love sticky rice. But at the end of the day, that extra $8 was just pain. Pain everywhere.

Sadly, I'm a masochist so I'll 1000% be back. Just no extra beef for me anymore smh.
