Acai Bowls in Austin, TX

“I will be completely honest— I was originally extremely skeptical of this place. I’ve noticed a trend in Austin recently where private, for-profit ventures have been co-opting naming conventions commonly used for public space/community ownership/places for people to gather that don’t require spending money (like community garden, assembly hall, public goods, etc). But I really think they’re doing the best they can to foster a sense of community. They do a lot of programming that is free and accessible, like doodling nights. The space, both indoor and outdoor, is really beautiful. I sometimes come on the weekends to read in the morning and there are always at least 3 or 4 other people doing the same thing. The no laptop policy after 5 is awesome in my opinion. In the past few years, Austin coffee shops have become a cacophony of people taking work calls which is infuriating, inconsiderate, and distracting. It’s amazing that this place offers a respite from devices. And I haven’t tried the evening menu but am excited to!

To the person who complained about parking— unless you want community garden to tear down another local business and build a parking lot, the best option is probably for people to park using the ample street parking (which is public). I live in a neighborhood next to a bunch medical offices and people are constantly parking in front of my house, but the reality is that I am not any more entitled to that public space than someone else just because it’s in front of my house. Austin is growing and ideas/the culture around entitlement to parking spaces need to change“

“Love this place! Their new iced lattes have become my latest addiction. Ive always loved their bowls (power hour is my fav!) but its been fun trying their new menu options too! Plus the atmosphere and staff is always SO fun and sweet. Feels like a little tropical paradise in the heart of Austin. We love this place so much and are so thankful to have it in our little corner of the world!🤩🤩“

“Good food and service at the Wilmington, DE location“

“Amazing loaded teas, that truly last me, the whole morning and into the afternoon! The flavors are insanely good and even though, they are a little pricey; so worth the money!!!!! Highly recommend! I’m a single Mom and I make sure to save my money for a tea, at least three times per week! Gotta get that pep in my step, to conquer the day! 💪“

“Northside Nutrition is fantastic. Every time I visit, I feel like a kid in a candy store: it is unbelievable to me that the team there is able to formulate such delicious food with macros I feel proud about. I could eat there every day!

Additionally, the staff is always friendly, helpful, and fast. They seem like they are genuinely passionate about providing healthy, yummy food, and that passion shines every time I interact with them.

I will continue to frequent this place. What a gem!“

“My favorite juice spot in Austin! You can taste the quality of ingredients and the intention put into everything they make. My boyfriend says that even the cold brew coffee is better than most coffee shops. And I love the oozvar tea. So good!“

“Playa Bowls in Dripping Springs is a must-visit! The inviting atmosphere makes you want to linger. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, ensuring my orders are always spot-on. Playa Bowls is a fantastic choice for a great dining experience! Don’t forget to grab one of their monthly stickers and try the protein bites (vegan option as well)!“

“Okay the fall bowl is so good!! This place is great! Really hard to find organic food spots in South Austin; I’m so glad I finally tried this place out. The bowl I got was very filling - you will not be disappointed! Vegan approved too!! ??“

“Great place with friendly service. The food was amazingly fresh.“

“EDITED: I was *wrong* about the ridiculous prices! I updated my rating from 3 to 5 stars, accordingly. This place is great. The smoothies & smoothie bowls are delicious. The prices are on-par with what you find in other Austin smoothie businesses. The girls working behind the counter have always been sweet.

Kudos to the owner for responding to reviews.“

“Shake Smart is a nice little on-campus location for healthy drinks -- which definitely makes sense when you realize it's right near exercise locations on the UT campus.A few friends and I ended up finding Shake Smart and taking a Lyft to it because we were looking for some good milkshakes & smoothies and Shake Smart is reviewed so well! Well... I'll say the drinks at Shake Smart are generally good, but you need to be calibrated for what they are -- their shelves are stocked with protein since most of the drinks are protein compatible. That in and of itself is fine, but even the shakes without protein aren't really normal shakes, so much as protein shakes with the protein removed (aka you still get that slightly odd aftertaste even without the protein).Overall the staff is nice and it's quick to get a shake or smoothie here -- just make sure you come in with the expectation that you want a protein-based beverage.“

“This was my first visit to Pressed. I enjoyed the OG Acai Bowl. It was delicious! Shout out to Diamonte, who made my first visit special. He explained the detox drink to me very well. He's a keeper 😉! I'll be back for sure when I'm in town!“
