I watched the person who was making my fruit bowl using the same gloves touching fruit and using the computer at checkout. I asked him that he should not use the same gloves for touching the food and working at cash register, and he remade the order for me. I like the bowls and smoothies here but their customer service and food safety needs a lot of improvement.

After our visit to Hawaii, we fell in love with acai bowls. Verve Bowl is now our go-to spot for a delicious acai bowl before any hike or day trip. Our usual order includes Chocolate My Heart and Verve Bowl, is both delicious and nutritious.

I used to really enjoy this place 6 years ago. When I had an açaí craving last weekend, I visited and was extremely disappointed. I got the regular sized Verve Bowl for $12.50 (pretty standard price for an açaí bowl). The açaí was grainy, the strawberries and blueberries were sour, and the honey didn't pair well at all.I’d much rather get the Açaí Primo from Jamba Juice (essentially the same as the Verve Bowl) for $11. Or even the Sambazon Açaí Bowls from AmazonFresh…Lastly, the staff wasn't friendly or welcoming. They didn't acknowledge customers entering or leaving the store. I also noticed them passing judgmental looks on at their customers that did nothing to deserve it... This is an issue that needs to be brought up to management.

I love their food but the service can be very inconsistent. One time I ordered right before my friend and I got my bowl after ten minutes which is quite normal. My friend waited a whole half an hour and waited by the area they serve the bowls. Someone asked her for her name and she responded, so the worker brought the bowl out from under the table... turns out her order was done a while ago and no one called her name nor order at all so we were waiting half an hour for no reason... I understand that this place can be busy a lot!! The last time I came their system was down so we didn't have to pay and left with free bowls! Very thankful for that! I even tried tipping them in cash but they couldn't accept it which sucks :( Love this place just can be very inconsistent at time. I come in or order online at least once a week :)

Didn’t taste too bad but the service was very very slow. Took 15 mins to make my bowl and there was only 2 other people waiting with me and they had 3 people working.

Dropped by on a Friday afternoon. We saw the sign that guides you towards Verve in an alleyway off Pine. Super easy to find imo. There isn't seating inside, but a few outdoor seats. Probably wouldn't be a place I'd park and go to, but if you're like us and live within walking distance/find yourself in Capitol Hill, I'd drop by if you're in the mood for a sweet, cold treat. Staff was super friendly. Got the uncrustabowl and good morning sunshine. We got the regular size and each bowl was $12.50. I'm not shocked, açaí bowl places are usually on the pricier side. It's definitely an indulgent treat. The uncrustabowl tasted exactly like an uncrustable with a healthy amount of peanut butter! Both bowls were yummy.

Nice seating but the food doesn’t taste good at all.
I am trying to see the positive side because the people who work there are nice. I had an acai bowl. It took a lot of them for them to have it ready. 3 of them were working hard and kept themselves busy but the speed wasn't there. Seems like they need a better strategy for being efficient. The acai bowl didn't taste all that good. It was very sweet. The honey they put in made it sweeter and it tastes more like syrup than pure honey. The presentation was not as appetizing. The purple base was more like rice cake texture and didn't taste pure as I had expected. I will not come back.

Most of the smoothie options around here aren't great, but this is the best I've found in capitol hill and it's not terribly priced

I ordered thru DoordashIt was packaged really nicely. Everything tasted great. Still really cold. I made some mods, they did it. Didn't take too longKind of expensive, but I feel that's a givenI'll be back next time I need a hangover cure forsure

I want to like this place because there are so few acai places in Seattle. When they make it right, it's soo good, but unfortunately the quality is inconsistent. Somewhat overpriced. They also "close the blenders" +/- 30min before closing and will only make 1-2 options. Sorry, that's d**** I've also heard through several people that the employee treatment is not good. If they clean these things up, I'd give a higher rating.

Friendly service and a variety of tasty Açaí options to choose from. Really enjoyed the "Beastmode" Bowl.
