We've been here a few times and it hasn't disappointed. It's always very clean and never has a long line. The green juice, smithies, and even hot snacks are all good choices. So thankful how close we are as we'll continue to come back. read more

Was craving some smoothies and decided to come back to Acai Republic! We ordered the classic smoothie with protein and the pitaya smoothie. Impressed by the portion and pricing as the two were only $15. At some places, you wouldn't get protein or smoothies of this size at that price point. Team was just as friendly and quick to greet us as the last time! read more

First timer! Can't believe I hadn't been here sooner. All the girls working were super nice and outgoing, which was so refreshing. They have quite a few bowls to choose from or you can build your own, which is great! Ordering is done on a screen but they have an app too, which is nice for ordering ahead. I will definitely be coming here regularly! read more

Very good açaí place when we bought the coxinha, the inside parts were cold so instead they gave us new hot coxinhas for free and we got more for free. Very nice people they served us really well. We've been with this acai place for so long not one problem if there is it will always be fixed. Thank you! read more

Debbie was awesome, our Açaí was perfect. She was so friendly even during the rushes.

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon after work. Felt extra warm today so an açaí bowl was an optimum choice. The so Paulo bowl is deemed the most popular, and that is what I went with. The bowl was spectacular. It was refreshing, sweet, cool and healthy, I also ordered the cheese bread. To get the full taste of the breads cheesiness, I would recommend eating it in small bites. The tables weren't really clean but it could have been after a busy shift. The decor seemed tropical and I did notice tables were big and chairs were comfortable. The service was friendly and made the food quickly. read more

Amazing Service and food is great. They really know how to get customers to like them. I

Overpriced rip off with no customer service, kiosk only, no cash accepted, just overall waste of your time and money. What a terrible way to run a business. The fact that they replaced all cashiers with robots, don't accept legal US tender, and then claim it's for the benefit of the customer is absurd. I can guarantee if there was a machine to make the bowls and smoothies they would replace their last employee. Just a greedy management trying to maximize profits and minimize costs and fees. It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the customer experience. Don't insult us by pretending your unamerican business practices are for the good of the people. Açaí Republic must be run by some out of town clowns. read more

Another gem on our quick trip to SoCal. Found this place after a day at the beach. Nice vibe inside, quick and friendly service. We ordered the Tahiti bowl- lots of plump and fresh fruit, refreshing and tasty açaí. We had fruit in every bite. One of the best acai bowls we've ever had. Well definitely bookmark this spot! read more

This place is super expensive. They're always out of the pastries, and the workers are slow

Wow very fresh. Granola crunchy. Why is this only my first time. Can't wait to come back!

Haven't had an acai bowl in a while so decided to stop by and fuel my body with something sweet and healthy before work. There were two other people inside when I arrived which was perfect cause there was no line. The woman behind the counter was very sweet and walked me through the steps and different options to build a bowl. I believe she was the manager and was genuinely very kind our entire interaction. I kind of panic ordered and said the first thing I saw. It was the cali bowl with a layer of chia seed pudding. For toppings I got all the fruit, coconut strips, and granola which made the bowl taste that much better. I sat down in one of the more comfortable chairs and enjoyed my bowl. I was thinking about that bowl my entire shift at work and will definitely coming back to try some more of their yummy acai bowl and other items on their menu. read more

Fresh, Fast & Totally Satisfying I was on the hunt for a healthier smoothie spot, and Açaí Republic totally hit the spot. The smoothie I ordered was **delicious, refreshing, and packed with flavor**. It was also ready super fast, which I appreciated. The vibe is clean and casual, and the menu has plenty of great options I'm excited to try next time. If you're looking for something tasty *and* healthy, this place is a win. Definitely coming back! read more

Kenji was so helpful when we were ordering. Service with a smile is always nice to see. Ans the acia bowl was so refreshing. We will be back. read more

Oh so good! I love their açaí bowls... but last week I was craving a smoothie. I actually didn't know they HAD smoothies until my fellow Yelpers led me here! 1) You can order online through their website -- super convenient! 2) Want to save 10%? Download their app and order through the app! Super friendly and helpful team members working. I arrived before my pick up but they worked hard to get it out early since I was early. Delicious and great quality. 2022: 23/100 read more

This is my second time here at this location. Bowls are fresh, delicious, and decent sized. Prices aren't cheap, but they're in line with other açaí bowl establishments. The two girls who were working that day were kind, sweet, and helpful. I needed some advice regarding the kind of bowl I wanted and they both helped. The massive screen you use to build your bowl can be a bit overwhelming, (as well as all of the different bowl options and add-ons) but once you get it, it's easy to use. They only take card, NO CASH IS ACCEPTED. The interior is decent sized and designed well. The ambiance is actually very nice. There's also plenty of outdoor seating for all of the shops around so if you prefer to go outside and enjoy the SoCal sun, which I did, that's an option. They don't have a bathroom inside the establishment, but there is one for any customer to use--you just need a key, and it's part of the entire business complex. It's located next door, so it takes about 20 seconds to get to here. I will definitely be back. read more

Acai Republic - The Real Brazilian - Acai Bowls Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Great bowls and smoothies with friendly staff. It is in a convenient location and is a cool little shop.

Used to love this place. My husband used to visit multiple times a week for their smoothies and açaí bowls and coxinhas. Service used to be good. Then a few months back they decided to put a machine in the front for ordering instead of a human being and cut their staff to almost non existent. The wait is long, you can't ask any questions and the experience had just been horrible. Sorry but putting profit over service is never a good idea. We will not be returning- read more

Outstanding Açaí Bowls! Amazing service. Matt and Alejandro were extremely friendly and attentive. Greeted us, we decided to change a minor thing, and they were extremely nice about it. I'll definitely be back! Thanks guys! read more

Love..Love..Love. I came here for the first time the other day and I was impressed. As soon as I walked in, the establishment was very clean, I was greeted by the workers, and overall started off my experience just right. Demi, helped me out and was super sweet and recommended a protein smoothie. Super delicious and it kept me full for a while. You can tell they use fresh fruits and vegetables. I will definitely be back again to try more items. read more

I have been going here for years and very time it is 10/10! I even there little snack are bomb! The service was pleasant! The vibe was chill! read more

A friend recommended this place and my boyfriend and I tried it, LOVED it. You can tell the açaí blend is high quality. It was fresh, fruity, not too sweet not too bland. It is definitely one of the best açaí blends I've tried anywhere outside of Hawaii. We ordered: the Sao Paolo which came with strawberries and bananas on top and the real Brazilian with bananas and blueberries. They all come with a good quality granola as well! It tasted mildly sweet and not too bland which I love. My boyfriend left out the granola in his (the bigger bowl) because he eats a gluten free diet. I loved their granola though. They ask if you'd like it topped off with honey .. definitely get the honey! It pairs so well with the açaí, granola and fruits. I also tried their Coxinha (think fried or baked mashed potato balls with Panko breading) with chicken and cream cheese in the middle. OMG it was SOO good. Even bette than Porto's potato balls! Definitely get this. You're welcome ;) The service was wonderful. They were younger kids working there but unlike other places I've been where it's younger workers who are rude or act "too cool"... the workers here were respectful and very nice. They were offering these little energy shots made of ginger, pineapple and kale I believe. It tasted SO good and really did give me an instant boost of energy. I will get this next time. After I ate my bowl, potato pastry and that energy shot... I felt so energized, awake and just overall great. Can't wait to go back! read more

Acai Republic - The Real Brazilian Acai The Sao Paulo Acai - Acai Bowls Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

This is my favourite açaí spot and location so far. I've visited Açaí Republic in Lake Forest, Huntington Beach, and Orange as well, but the Laguna Niguel location truly puts out the best product in OC. I've tried tons of açaí in California and Hawai'i, but nowhere else I've been to gets it just right like this place. I like that Açaí Republic offers authentic, minimalistic Brazilian açaí without all the extra toppings. My go-to is the madly mango bowl or smoothie because it's the only option that by default doesn't include banana, which I don't like, as an ingredient. I would eat here every day if I could, and when I'm in town, I visit this particular location as often as possible. read more

I really do love acai republic but after seeing a hair on my mango I don't know if I'll be returning!! read more

Acai Republic - Acai Bowls Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

We'd been eating out a lot so I wanted something healthy for breakfast. They were open in Christmas Eve and I wanted to try this shop especially because they also had Brazilian pastries. Service was nice and store was clean. It was as expected. The flavors of the açaí bowl were fine -- I got the Tahiti which had banana, blueberry and strawberry plus I added bee pollen. The small is $10 which seemed pricey for the portion. The ham and cheese empanada didn't seem to have any ham... or it was just overwhelmingly a lot of cheese. The coxinha was okay too. My favorite was probably the pao de queijo. Didn't quite hit the spot for what I was craving perhaps but not bad at all. read more

Cashless only policy is a big turn off. Was going here regularly but now will look elsewhere. Also having to place your own order and then expecting a tip is a joke read more

Extremely fast service, delicious smoothies, and amazing workers. I had the pleasure of being served by Matthew who was extremely helpful, attentive, and genuine. He made the experience a lot better and I truly hope he gets some acknowledgement for how hard of a worker he is. Overall 10/10 experience, will be coming back regularly and highly recommend to everyone. Ask for Matt! read more

This review is for the Oside store which has only been open a short time. I love Açaí but my favorite store sold to new owners and now they just slap some sorbet in a bowl and dump fruit on top. This place is by far the best Açaí in Oside now in my opinion. Also have some other Brazilian items like empanada. read more

Hands down my favorite acai store. I have been here like 77 times. I eat, sleep, and breathe Acai Republic. I've tried many acai stores all across California and the majority of them all taste the same. Not Acai Republic. They got the secret sauce. I just wish they didn't get rid of the Fivestar rewards, I lost a lot of unused points Food: The acai here is honestly the dankest. As mentioned earlier, most other acai stores taste very similar to each other. Acai Republic has the blends that are each unique. Want a dash of sour? Try the Real Brazilian. Wanna go for something more sweet? Grab the Sao Paolo (Imma be honest these are the only 2 flavors I tried out of my 70+ times of going here . I dig the Sao Paolo so much I get it every time. Maybe one day I'll try something new). The toppings here are great too. My fav are the cacao nibs. These be so crunchy it puts Captain Crunch to shame. Def recommend. Ambiance: Good vibes all around. I usually grab my bowls to-go, but there's a good amount of seating Their team has always been friendly. Price: Overall very reasonable and in line with other acai stores. They give a very good amount of acai and have a good ratio of toppings/acai. Make sure to get your free 3 toppings on Topping Tuesday! You can also use their code APPACAI on the app for 10% off (I swear I'm not an employee, just avid fan like a Swiftie of acai). Overall: 77/10 will be back an unhealthy amount read more

Clueless people. Ordered 3 acai bowls and just got 2. Ordered cheese bread and never got it. The woman there said she gave it to me when she gave it to other person. When I said, I ordered 3 acai bowls she got angry. I showed her the receipt and she just ignored me. Never come back to this place. Whole Foods sells organic acai bowls large for $12 and the portions are good and the fruit is organic. This place is a rip off for the price and amount you get. You deserve 0 star for service. Educate your employees..... read more

Fantastic açaí bowls! Craving it as I write this. Went here after a hike, and it definitely hit the spot! "The Cali": fabulous!! fresh with a lot of toppings as well as açaí. We added peanut butter. We split the large. Definitely can split it, if you want to try other stuff! Beef Empanda: fantastic. Recommend! Pao de Queijo: delicious doughy bread stuffed with cheese. Parking: plenty of parking Seating: some tables inside as well a cozy long bench along the wall read more

My usual açaí spot is in San Clemente but this day, I was in a hurry and this was the closest one. It took a long time for them to be ready and they gave their orders to another family who had gotten there way after me first. I ordered the cali bowl which comes with a variety of different fruits for a good price. Their açaí base is delicious and not overly sweet. I do wish they added more granola and less açaí base. I'll stick to my usual açaí spot but it was great to finally try it! Açaí: 8/10 Service: 8/10 read more
