Beautiful space, and first time trying this out! It’s the only thing I got on the menu and it was okay. Excited to try more things!

Carioca bowls is the best, most authentic acai ever, and the cheese bread is outstanding. The atmosphere is original, inviting and with just enough funky. Cozy to eat there instead of taking out!

I've tried several açai bowl spots, and while carioca Bowl has a trendy vibe and some creative options, I felt the prices were a bit steep compared to the portion sizes we received.

I also ordered an iced Matcha, which was initially forgotten.
While the staff did apologize and made it promptly I received it to-go and noticed the cup wasn't filled to the size I ordered. The staff definitely was overwhelmed that day
Overall, the Atmosphere was amazing since I love plants. maybe I got them on a bad time. I’ll definitely update and give them another try.

In a world where true nourishment often feels elusive, discovering this açaí bowl café has been like finding a sanctuary that feeds both body & soul. As someone who approaches wellness through an integrative lens, I'm deeply grateful for spaces that understand food as medicine and community as healing.

What initially drew me here was curiosity about açaí's reputation as a superfood, but what keeps me returning is the profound sense of alignment I feel with this establishment's philosophy. The açaí itself has become a cornerstone of my nutritional health! Over months of regular visits, I've noticed sustained energy levels, improved recovery from physical activity, and what feels like enhanced cellular vitality. But beyond the nutritional side, there's something almost ritualistic about beginning my day with this vibrant, life-giving fruit.

What makes this place truly special is how it extends beyond individual nourishment to cultivate genuine community wellness. The atmosphere here attracts like-minded individuals who understand that health is multidimensional: people having thoughtful conversations about healthy living, sharing knowledge about natural remedies, and supporting each other's wellness journeys. This isn't just coincidence; it's the natural result of creating a space that honors both personal & collective well-Being.

The dog-friendly outdoor patio has become one of my favorite aspects of this experience. It's wonderful to share this nourishing ritual with my canine companion, having present-moment awareness & gratitude. The patio itself feels like an extension of the café's holistic philosophy: plants, natural materials, and an atmosphere that invites slowing down and truly experiencing the now.

I've observed how this environment naturally encourages mindful eating practices. The beautiful presentation of each bowl invites appreciation for the colors, textures, and flavors, transforming a simple meal into a meditative practice. The staff's knowledge about their ingredients and willingness to discuss the sourcing and preparation methods reflects a deeper understanding of food as a healing modality rather than mere sustenance.

The customization options here align perfectly with individual approaches to nutrition. Whether adding specific superfoods, choosing particular fruits, there's recognition that optimal nutrition looks different for each person. This flexibility allows me to intuitively respond to my body's changing needs while maintaining the consistency of açaí's foundational benefits, even though I have the exact same order 99.99% of the time!

For anyone seeking more than just a meal, but rather a nourishing experience that supports body, mind, and community connections, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's a reminder that every choice we make about nourishment is an opportunity to support our highest well-Being while contributing to a more conscious, connected world.

Brazilian cheese balls were soggy and hard at the same time. They tasted like they were made a few days ago and just reheated again. For $3 a piece, I’m pretty frustrated. I also found a hair in my açaí bowl and told the service staff about it. I didn’t ask for a new bowl because we didn’t want to waste food, but we also didn’t get any apology. Won’t be back again

It's a great place for the weekends when the sun is out. Although a bit cramped and slow when it gets busy. I like the menu options, and they don't shy away when it comes to acai toppings.

Great environment with outdoor dining, but the quality of the açaí and toppings just wasn’t that great.

I absolutely love Carioca Bowls, I have been coming here since moving to the area and have always enjoyed! However, the last couple of times I have come, the bowls are usually without peanut butter (which is my second favorite part of the bowl😂) and twice I’ve left before noticing! I love coming here, but if you’re out of something it would be nice to know when ordering🫶

Over $15 for a large açaí bowl and it has 4 slices of strawberry, half a banana and barely filled halfway. Not really a good value.
