Super close to my apartment and was the best place on the entire block! Great customer service year round.
I wanted to share some honest feedback about my recent visit. I spent $29 on an açaí bowl, and the experience left me pretty disappointed.
Not only did it take about 15 minutes to make (despite me being one of the first customers right after opening), but I specifically asked for all my toppings on the side. When I noticed they had all been added mix together instead, I brought it up only to be told, “we don’t normally do that,” with a slight attitude. I’ve always asked for my toppings on the side this is the first location of many that I visit that told me this .
To be honest, I found that response confusing and dismissive. If a customer makes a simple request . especially when it comes to how their food is prepared . it should be respected, not brushed off. Whether it’s “normal” or not shouldn’t matter if it’s a reasonable request, especially for the price.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because the quality of the service really affected the experience.
Delicious…always!
Ordered in line. Yummy summer strawberry lemonade bowls ready as ordered in their little pickup closet.
We ordered our smoothies from South Block (in Del Ray, Alexandria, VA) online. They were ready within 10 minutes right when we arrived. The staff is always friendly and warm. The smoothies are great!
Best smoothies and bowls ever. Absolutely delicious and healthy!
Waiter needs more training the seafood scramble needs a bigger bowl so u can mix it better it was under season but most of the seasoning was at bottom of small bowl
Good açai bowls! Definitely filling and worth the money! It was a bit loud in the place but the fruits were fresh and most of my bowl was Nutella so it was extremely sweet.
Stephanie is so sweet

Guys!! This is my favorite south-block🫢 On my way to the gym I will literally drive PAST four other south-blocks as well as my gym, just to come to this SPECIFIC location! YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME THAT OLD TOWN DOES NOT EAT EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I mean the entire staff is like a coming of age sitcom, They crack Jokes, make you a perfectly balanced bowl or a yummy smoothie, I modify the crap out of mine bc im a picky eater but they got me every day! 😋 They remember me too like they ask me how I am doing and talk to me, like they know me, it brightens my morning so much! I leave in the morning feeling like a main character. If you aren’t experiencing main character energy at the start of your day, you need to fix that!!! If you aren't enjoying delicious blended fruits or tasty coffee at south-block then ask yourself, do you even like food?! Like no seriously are you human? GO NOW! THEY'RE OPEN NOW! GO! Go! Go! 🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️🏃🏿♀️

I absolutely adore this place! I recently tried the new fall pumpkin smoothie in a bowl, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh never too sweet, just the right amount of flavor. I'm a huge fan and will definitely be coming back!

I already reviewed this location but had to again. I have been to three other South Block locations in the DMV and while they are all excellent, DelRay is my favorite. It just feels like home. These bowls are my obsession LOL. You can't go wrong with ANYTHING you order here.
