Their açaí bowls are great quality, and topped with my personal favorites like granola, banana, strawberries, condensed milk, milk powder, and a peanut candy (pacoquita). Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast, post-workout snack, or a refreshing treat on a hot day, this place delivers. Also, for those who are into the Dubai Chocolate trend, there's an acai bowl Dedicated to that flavor. Aiming to order that next time. They also have savory & sweet snacks (ie Brazilian tapioca which looks kind of like a crepe or thin pancake with filling), Pão de queijo cheese breads and more. Everything is made fresh to order, service is quick & nice. You can also order from kiosk. Seating is available Located near the arts armory center, and near green line extension, and street parking is generally available.

I got the Dragonberry pitaya bowl, which was topped with a good portion of delicious honey, granola, and fresh blueberries and strawberry slices. The mix itself was more slushy/icy in texture than expected, but still delicious in flavors. I would come back again if I was in the area and craving smoothie bowls.

Absolutely delicious and looks pretty too! -Dragonberry Bowl: pink pitaya base topped with blueberry, strawberry, granola and a drizzle of honey. (Pro tip; ask for granola on the side if don't want it to get soggy) -Stupid Cupid Bowl: stupid Cupid base with strawberries, coconut flakes, granola, cacao nibs, and white chocolate. I'm very picky on my smoothie spots because I expect consistency if I'm spending close to $10 on a drink and playa bowls hasn't failed me. Highly recommend!

Everything is organic and plant-based. I ordered the Protein Bowl salad, and it was both delicious and filling -- kale, brown rice, quinoa, lentils, black beans, chickpeas, carrots, raisins, and pumpkin seeds that added a nice crunch. The lemon dressing had just the right amount of tartness to balance the sweetness of the raisins and shredded carrots. Personally, I would have preferred fewer raisins, but next time I'll just ask to leave them out. My husband ordered the Dragon shake, made with dragon fruit, mango, pineapple, banana, cashew butter for protein, and date paste for sweetness. It was rich, satisfying, and filling enough to be a complete meal. We both loved our food and hope to return again soon

They were giving away smoothies and coupons from there at my gym as a promotion, so of course I had to give it a try Generally, I just make smoothies on my own at home, since they're pretty easy to whip up, but it was nice having one made for me. It seemed like they had a bunch of flavors. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what I was drinking, but it seemed to be some sort of berry blend and it was fairly tart. The consistency was spot on, with just the right amount of ice mixed in. I don't think I'd go out of my way to grab a smoothie there, but it was certainly refreshing!

When I was trying to figure out a good order for my boyfriend they were really helpful in suggesting the vitality bowl- it's the perfect açaí variation for a banana strawberry lover. It also comes with goji berries and flax seeds for texture. The piña colada is not too sweet- nice coconut flavor- with the coconut milk. Good for someone who likes coconut (like me)- as it's more coconut forward. You taste the pineapple and the sweetness of the banana but those flavors are a little more subdued. You taste the mango peach with the coconut. It's a milky tropical blend.

Staff are helpful and moving as fast as they can, but this is just a popular place! I ordered as per the recommendation of my friends an original froyo with the made-in-house mochi and one of the cheesecake options (this time Oreo). Not that everything really tied together in some culinary way (nor does froyo usually anyways), but everything tasted amazing! Froyo is refreshing and just tastes high quality, and the mochi was also fantastic. Is it weird to say that the Oreo cheesecake was the least impressive part? Things are tight in the space, but you can just as easily eat it on the sidewalk outside, but if you get lucky, there's a small sun room with ~6-8 chairs you can eat in with your group. As a plus, they have a punchcard system?!

The store is small so there's not room to eat inside. There are some picnic tables open outside depending on season which I've used and seen others sit at. They have a good selection of flavors and toppings, albeit the price is a bit steep. Portions are generous though and the end product is tasty. I like their mochi and cheesecake toppings while the original front flavor is solid. Overall, BerryLine is a great dessert option in the Harvard Square area and I'm sure I'll be back!
