Acai Bowls in New York, NY

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

“I work 2 blocks away and Juicy Cube is my go-to for a quick breakfast or lunch. Everyone is always kind and my smoothie always comes out delicious. Next time you visit, get the peanut paradise! Also, I accidentally ordered something incorrectly online one time and they kindly fixed it in store with no issues 😊“

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

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

“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.“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

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

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

“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!“

“Came in here after work around Lunchtime to have a smoothie bowl as I was craving to try one. I custom made what I wanted and had the pitaya (dragonfruit) base with mango, blueberries, granola, banana, coconut flakes and honey and omgggg did it deliver!!!! Sooo delicious! Not to mention the service frok the girls there was super sweet and friendly. There’s a cute bunch of chairs to sit at outside which is where I loved to after being inside because it’s air conditioned inside and I wanted to get some sun. Highly recommended!“

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

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

“Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy! Tons of folks were coming in and out for a spot I almost walked past! Extensive menu with plenty of fruit slush options (no milk), smoothies (with milk), bowls, or boba. I'd prob rec not getting the boba, since nyc is blessed with boba-specific spots lol

I just finished a workout, so I opted for their large Powerful Chia ($11), which had banana, mango, pineapple, and chia seed. I got almond milk, since they didn't have oat milk at the time. Price point was relative on par with other chains. You can add Orgain organic protein for +$1.

All ingredients are blended right in front of you, which is always great to see. Overall, would return to a Hawa!“

“Great and yummy Acai Bowls. My favorite is the Pura vida bowl.And the customer service is amazing. Great team in this location. This location is clean, fast, and welcoming. Thank you making it a great experience. I come here frequently and every time is great.“

“Danny was wonderful. We went to a location on 53rd and Lexington. The food was delicious, the staff was extremely attentive. The place was super clean and inviting, with a cool and relaxing ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you !!!!“

“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.“

“Hands down the best deli in the neighborhood. If you’re looking for a place that remembers your face, look no further. Happy staff, good food and a family friendly environment. They may be new, but they represent that old nyc soul every true NY deli has.

As a born and raised NY’er, I tip my hat to their baconeggandcheese.“

“I come here all the time and they’re always great! The staff is super helpful and patient — especially since I’m picky and don’t drink milk or eat bananas. They always get my order right and make it easy for me. Thanks for consistently great service!“

“I came here and ordered one smoothie and got hooked. If you want something that taste natural, get your smoothie here. They have worked on getting the right taste for each smoothie and to me they got something special going on. The Green Glow is not too sweet. For a sweeter, more filling taste; go for the Vitality Boost. If you like ginger and want that strong ginger kick, go for the Blue Green Chill. The Super Acai is nice too. I add peanut butter to the Super Acai to make more filling. You can also customize your own, but their own creations are already a hit. The most popular ones are Peanut Power and Strawberry Lover. I'm a fan of Peanut Power. This is like my fifth time here within 2 weeks so definately I'm a fan of this place. I bought one for my father and he is hooked on Green Glow. So don't miss it....It's between 1st and 2nd Ave on 14 St. Check them out!!! 10 Stars for me. :)“

“Excellent place and service“

“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“

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

“Delicious, healthy, convenient, refreshing, and great prices.“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.“

“Hands down my favorite smoothie place in the city. They have açaí, bubble tea and wellness shots available too. Been to this one and the Chelsea location both quick and fresh, very fair price point. Way better than any juice chain in the city and cheaper“

“Love Playa Bowls—best açaí bowls hands down!!! They’re hearty and you get a nice size bowl/amount for the price. The options are insane!

My favorite is the power -açaí bowl w/ peanut butter (shown in the picture). My kids love the mucho mango (also in the picture) and the Stupid Cupid (not pictured).

This particular location is a nice size. They have a few tables inside as well as a seating area. There is usually seating outside as well but the entire sidewalk block is under construction at the moment.

I’ve never experienced bad customer service. I’ve dined in, ordered online for pickup, AND I’ve had it delivered before. Always a 10/10!“

“Oakberry has the best açaí in the world. Healthy, refreshing, and full of amazing topping options. Everywhere my husband and I travel, we always look for an Oakberry. We highly recommend it! 😍“

“Baya Bar - Acai & Smoothie Shop is a great stop for something fresh and energizing. The acai bowls are vibrant, well-balanced, and loaded with quality toppings. I also liked the variety of smoothies and juices, all tasting clean and refreshing. The bright, casual vibe and quick service make it an easy, feel-good choice anytime.“

“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“

“I had a great stop at Avocado Oh Smoothie. The smoothies were fresh, creamy, and naturally sweet without feeling heavy. Ingredients tasted high-quality, and everything felt clean and refreshing. It’s a perfect quick option when you want something light but satisfying. The staff were friendly and kept things moving smoothly.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Juice Gem That’s Been a Staple for 20 Years!

After two decades of being a loyal patron, I can confidently say that Juice Generation continues to set the gold standard for quality and service. While my last juice of the day wasn’t my favorite (a rare miss in 20 years!), I felt a little hesitant about saying something—but the manager, Adolfo, handled it with such professionalism and kindness that I was reminded why I absolutely love this place. The customer service here is consistently top-tier.

My yogi best friend still fondly remembers the field trip I took her on to Juice Generation—she raves about it to this day. We often daydream about opening a Juice Generation in her new home of Hawaii or in our shared hometown of downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. (Trust me, the people there need this in their lives!)

If you haven’t tried Juice Generation yet, consider this your sign. Their smoothies are rich, refreshing, and never slimy like some of the imitators out there. The vegan muffins are absolutely delicious, and the salads? A bright, crisp little pick-me-up that never disappoints.

One minor exception in two decades—and still, I walk away more impressed than ever. Juice Generation isn’t just a juice bar. It’s a lifestyle, a community, and a feel-good ritual that never gets old.“

“Ordered through Uber Eats, I am traveling. Food is really good but NO UTENSILS WERE INCLUDED. I specifically asked for utensils. I need a SPOON to eat your soup!“

“Playa Bowl is my favorite meal in the world. I always get the power açai and I substitute it with plant protein. The staff at every location are always awesome. Smoothies, oatmeal, açai, pitaya & coffee. Started in New Jersey in 2014 and is sweeping the nation.“

“Oakberry has the best açaí in the world. Healthy, refreshing, and full of amazing topping options. Everywhere my husband and I travel, we always look for an Oakberry. We highly recommend it! 😍“

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it.

Highly recommended.“

“Best snack ever! I was dragging down the street tired, hot, and hungry with no idea what to eat or if I even wanted to eat. I decided to see if I could get a juice or smoothie which I had tried once before from playa bowls. I instead went for one of their pitaya bowls without knowing exactly what it was. It turned out to be the absolute best thing ever! An icy “slushy” pitaya (dragonfruit) base with gluten free granola strawberries, blueberries, and honey on top. I had no idea this was exactly what my body needed! So fresh, filling, cool, and refreshing. So yummy! 10/10“

“mmmmmmm y’all this bowl was UNBELIEVABLY good I was in shock I got the nutella bowl which was an acai base with granola, bananas, and strawberries and y’all that acai was pure perfection like it was so smooth but still frozen enough to be extra thick and wow i just loved this so much“

“The person that helped me was extremely kind and patient regarding my modifications and the entire experience was very pleasant. The bowl itself was delicious and filling and the perfect guilt free treat after a long day. Definitely worth the price!“

“Highly recommend the “hella good greens” bowl! Anything on the menu looked great“

“Keepin it real out here in UES
One thing I noticed is that most of the owner / manager at Baya Bar, most not all, are pretty nice, and this one at UES is def one of them. Super friendly to customers and even window cleaning staff. Really takes care of the people and takes pride in the store. Food & smoothie is solid, consistent“

“I tried the Brown Sugar boba. I requested whole milk, 25% sugar, less ice, and extra boba. It wasn’t sweet like I wanted and there wasn’t extra boba like I’d asked. There was too much ice. But overall it wasn’t THAT BAD. I give it 7.5/10. I’ve had better boba from other places. Do I recommend though, yes“

“This juice shop has become my daily stop without a doubt! All fresh-squeezed juices taste incredible, full of bright, natural fruit flavor with no weird syrups added. I come here every single day to grab my drink before my schedule, and I never get tired of their refreshing blends. The staff here are absolutely wonderful—they’re always warm, patient and super friendly every time I visit. They remember my usual order and greet me with nice smiles. The whole vibe is cozy and welcoming. I highly recommend this spot to anyone craving genuine, delicious fresh juice; it’s my absolute favorite daily refreshment spot!“

“Absolutely love Playa Bowls!
The açaí bowls are always fresh, tasty, and beautifully put together. The store is clean and has a fun, beachy vibe. What really makes the experience even better is the staff — everyone is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile and are happy to help with recommendations. Great service and great food every time. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I absolutely loved this place. The food is delicious and the ingredients are so fresh. My husband got the oriental crunch salad and I had the scramble. I also had an iced matcha latte. Everything was done well and the service was very welcoming.“

“4/5⭐
I think it’s safe to say that NYC is lucky to have THISBOWL.
My experience with this restaurant at the Noho location was pleasant, the staff were nice, the food was amazing. We ordered the miso salmon bowl and the spicy salmon bowl which were both delicious and filling + the house drinks.
Definitely recommend!“

“We were visiting friends on the lower east side and popped out to pick up a few things for brunch. Dimes was their reco and it was a good one. It’s a small, well curated specialty food/grocery store. Fresh veggies, interesting condiments, prepared foods, fresh flowers, and many other treats. The staff is also lovely and helpful. Stop by you won’t regret it!“

“I sooo love all the juices and açaí bowls never get tired of them“

“I love the energy and service of the place. Bob you and workers have always been kind to me and my family thanks for giving life to water.“

“★★★★☆

Stopped by Juice Generation and ordered the Supa Supa Greens (20 oz). Really refreshing and tasted very fresh. Great healthy option when you want something quick and clean. Service was fast and the place was well kept.

At about $11 for a 20 oz juice, the price is actually pretty reasonable for New York. Solid drink and I’d definitely come back.“
