Acai Republic is such a great spot when I am craving something refreshing and filling at the same time. I ordered The Cali Acai Bowl in a mini and it was perfect. I added coconut, regular granola, and both honey and agave, and everything worked so well together. The base was smooth and flavorful, the granola added the perfect crunch, and the sweetness level was just right. The portion was great for a mini and still left me feeling satisfied without being too heavy. Everything tasted fresh and well balanced, and it is honestly the perfect breakfast when you want something light but energizing. read more

Smoothies are 10/10 for a quick pick-me-up! The lady at the counter was sweet :) Definitely coming back

Acai Republic always hits the spot when I have a craving for an acai bowl! I've tried so many places from fancy like Blue bowl to plain like Sambazon, but Acai Republic is my favorite because it stays simple and true to Brazilian Acai. I've only ever tried their Brazilian base but it's my absolute favorite. The small is actually a decent size because they pack the bowls with acai and toppings here. The service is always friendly, even though there's only one main guy that's working there! He is SUPER friendly and remembers everyone! It's always clean and the decor is true to any acai place. There aren't too many places to sit indoors so I recommend going outside to the outdoor patio seating and enjoy the weather with your acai bowl! Acai republic is my go to Acai place and I'm so excited that it's summer and time for lots of acai! read more

Acai Republic - The best acai around - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Lake Forest, California

I came in thinking I was just getting an açaí bowl. I left questioning why all my other meals aren't this good. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was great, but the real MVP was Alejandro. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from the moment I walked in. Honestly, if Alejandro told me to try a random bowl combination, I'd probably trust him with my future. 10/10. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Bomb açaí. Been to a couple different locations of Açaí Republic. Each of them was good. Ingredients look and taste fresh. Service is usually pretty quick. Had Rodrigo help me out today and the dude was super cool! Great employee to have and made this one of my favorite locations just off the great customer service alone. Passing through for work and I'm glad I made the decision to stop here. read more

I did not take any pictures of my açai bowl. Overall, it tasted really good. The exception is that I wish I did not order strawberries for a topping because the majority of the strawberries did not taste good. They were white and green and hard and without flavor. The rest of my bowl was enjoyable and a nice cold treat on a hot day. read more

Service was great. Açaí bowls are good!! Variety of juices, fresh. Should come check this place out.

To say I'm obsessed with this place is an understatement! I've been to many açaí places (I have a serious love for açaí) and this is one of the best places with the best açaí. I've tried all of them and none have disappointed me, my favorite is the São Paulo though with coconut shreds. The owners are super cool and the employees are awesome too. The place is small but very cute and clean! Definitely recommend it! read more

Service was great as it was just one worker for everyone who came in. The place was decorated cute. As for the bowl, it's the most expensive one I have had yet and for the least amount of flavor. Chia pudding was not the greatest it had too much vanilla. The acai was just ok. I don't think I will be returning as I like the set up of other places and more option choices at not extra charge better. read more

Oatmeal banana smoothie is 10/10 added protein and coconut shreds. Will be coming back.

I love Acai bowls and this was my first time trying Acai republic . Located in town center next to a bunch of restaurants with plenty of parking . Service was super nice . We got 4 bowls and took our time choosing . Very patient . Usually we are used to picking our toppings so it was a little different picking out the premade flavors . I got the real Brazilian. Very good . Not too sweet. Fruits were fresh and plentiful . Priced right . I'll definitely see myself returning for another bowl or trying a protein shake read more

The Acai is very yummy! I love to go here for a dessert or a quick healthy breakfast! If you havent tried acai before, i recommend trying out this place! The employee is very nice and friendly! My acai usually finishes in 2-6 minutes. You order on a large touch screen and they do not accept cash. They also have seating and a couch to sit and wait for your acai. The place is clean and pretty small. read more

Pretty good acai bowls! Came here during a recent hot day and surprisingly they weren't too busy - just a few people in line and a few people outside eating. It's a small place with a welcoming feel. Friendly service, and I love how I can see the bowl being made. Besides acai bowls, they also sell pastries and some brownies - nice selection when we went. We tried the The São Paulo per their recommendation and we loved it. Very refreshing and we loved the banana and strawberry toppings. We had it slightly sweetened with honey. The granola had a great crunch to it, which added a nice texture to the smooth acai blend. Our kids ate it up! We also tried the coxinha (shredded chicken pastry), ham and cheese empanada, and Zé Brownie. We were also gifted a couple of pieces of cheese bread! The coxinha had an interesting texture - kind of reminded me of a tuna sandwich, but it was all chicken! Both the empanada and the cheese bread were hits with the boys. The brownie was good, but nothing special. read more

Ordered through Postmates and got l the bogo deal for their drinks. I got the São Paulo smoothie and Mr.green. Both were very refreshing and healing, as I was recovering from a very bad flu and wasn't able to eat much. However, my bf wanted to try the empanadas but he said they were very very dry. Overall the drinks are delicious and I wanna come in person to try their Acia bowls and other items! read more

Açaí Republic Lake Forest has always been a great location for us. Service has always been quick and friendly each time we've been there since they opened. Açaí Cali bowl has always been our go to bowl. read more

Not only is the staff super friendly and helpful, the acai bowls are also amazing. The fruits were fresh and so sweet. Their empanadas are also very tasty. We tried the spinach and cheese ones and the beef ones as well. We also tried the circle one with cream cheese and chicken. Everything tasted great but my favorite was the spinach one. My family members had their favorites like the circle ones that my son really liked and my daughter said the beef ones were really tasty. The empanadas have a perfect crust and were just the right size as well. read more

They're bowls are yummy. Staff is friendly. Nice and clean little place. We come here every time we're in town.

I've been coming here for almost two years. Never been let down once. I've become good friends with one of the partners, nicest family owned business in the food court. I will be honest. The only items I purchased are the real Brazilian açaí bowl and beef empanadas. Therefore, I vouch 100% for those items. My wife usually gets the Cali and has loved it every single time. read more

Yum! Ample parking in the huge lot next to the food court. Quick and friendly service, perfect asai bowl for an after dinner treat. Fresh ripe fruit drizzled in honey and topped with crunchy toppings over a cute purple and not too sweet acai. Kids loved it and ate the entire large bowl. And a great deal for the price too! Will be back soon to try more =) read more

One of the worst açaí bowls I have ever had. The açaí doesn't even tasted like açaí and the granola is stale and the fruit is not fresh. Highly overpriced and didn't meet the expectations read more

I generally like the açai bowls. The only thing I did not like at this place is they used the frozen fruit. I ordered Cali bowl, and all the fruits banana strawberry pineapple mango are frozen read more

Best acai bowls ever!! Acai Republic is miles ahead of any other acai placed I've tried. Owner's (marcos) and staff are also really welcoming and compassionate. Try the Sao Paulo :D read more

I haven't had a chance to try their açaí bowls, but my experience with this place was unfortunately just... meh... the spinach empanada only had cheese in it. The coxinha with cheese was alright. Nothing special. I also ordered their green juice which tasted like it had half a cup of water poured into it.. very bland. Nothing terrible but nothing worth coming back for. Maybe it was an off day? read more

Stopped by while grabbing lunch next door. The girl working was super knowledgeable about her juices and smoothies! While waiting for my juice I overheard her explain and suggest some really good smoothies and fruit combos. When I picked it up she let me know that they use ice for the juices but next time to ask for frozen strawberry's instead, thanks for the tip! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! Marcos and Rodrigo are so kind and welcoming. Such a nice atmosphere and not to mention the acai bowls are delicious. I'm very picky with mine, and this one checks off all the boxes (I recommend the Cali bowl!) read more

Love the freshness and taste of their acai!! It's delicious!! The staff is really friendly too!!

They refuse to take cash, tell me download the app. I can't support a business that won't accept the American dollar. There are places that only accept cash but this is bizarre. Too many alternative options for acai around here that will happily take a $20 / $100 bill. Maybe if they provided some sort of logical reasoning but this makes no sense and they can't explain why. No more read more

Quality, service, ingredients, and selection. All high marks here. The acai bowls and snacks are authentic in flavor. They have coxinha so if you're looking for a quick bite it's a perfectly delicious hot food. If you haven't had it before, you're missing out. read more

my husband and I have gotten so tired of frozen yogurt as a healthy-ish after dinner treat, we wanted to try something new. We found this place on DoorDash & were extremely surprised at how delicious it was! and compared to other places, much much cheaper than other Açaí specialty locations. I personally got the pitaya (dragonfruit) smoothie & it was phenomenal! My husband loved the bowl, everything was fresh & filling. Everything you could hope for. Will be ordering again soon! maybe even tonight read more

Best Acai bowl in town! I have tried Acai bowl at every other places, but I love theirs the best! The Acai itself, freshness of fruits, the additional ingredients, and most of all they are FAST! Staff are so nice and super friendly as well. read more

I stopped by and tried Acai Republic today for the first time. There are other acai places in the area, but Acai Republic has shot to the top for me. Everything was fresh, the portion size was good and the place was nice and clean. Had a great conversation with Marco too as he prepared my bowl. Plenty of seating outside in the food court area. I found my new acai place! read more

Was at the Food Court and wanted something new. Walked into Açaí Republic and was promptly greeted. I was struggling to decide what I wanted since everything looked so good. The lady that assisted me pulled up photos on their screen for the various bowls options to show me what they looked like! I decided on the The Cali Bowl. While I was ordering she also let me know they serve great pastries and offered me the Cheese Balls to try. Wonderful service! My bowl was made quickly and everything was absolutely delicious! If you have not tried this place you are missing out. read more

Congrats on One year! We've been supporting this place since it's opened here and it's become a family thing to buy their Acai bowls. We love their Acai and their service! read more

Amazing food and great service! I ordered some items here on Uber Eats during a trip to Irvine and was not expecting them to be so delicious and made with such care. They threw in an extra coxinha to my order and made sure to follow all of my notes. The smiley faces on the box made it that much tastier. 5 stars for sure! read more
