    Acai MIM Make It Mine Smoothie Bowl
    Jessica G.

    Beautifully assembled açaí bowl, they clearly put some thought into the aesthetics, which is greatly appreciated. I customized my own bowl, which turned out pretty well. Proportions were good - the base, fruit, granola, honey. The total amount in the bowl was good as well, but it might not be as much as other places. I was surprised by how long it kept. I ate it over the course of an hour, and it didn't get too mushy / runny.

    I join the other reviewers who gave 5 stars for Anissa's Spot. This cute coffee and açaí shop is a bright addition to the strip mall on this part of NC 55. It's tucked at the back, but once you are inside you are welcomed by the friendly staff. A lady ahead of me overheard that it was my first time in. She said their açaí bowls are worth trying. She is right. My Eagle Eye bowl was done well. A crunchy granola base mixed with blended superfoods and topped with bananas, honey, and chia seeds. I added a regular house iced coffee with oat milk to my order. It was the breakfast I needed to start my day off right. Anissa's Spot has a sitting area at the back where you can hang out and knock out some work if you have your laptop. I took time to catch up on messages from my coworkers. It wasn't busy, so I had some relative peace for what I needed to catch up on.

    This is the Heels Bowl with added strawberries. Delicious!!

    I love Anissa's Spot! They have a beautiful calming ambience and great vibe. The staff is always friendly, especially Q, and their açaí bowls and smoothies are amazing!

    I'm not even a big fan of pumpkin but the Pumpkin spice latte was delish. It's the perfect blend of flavor and spice! 10x better than Starbucks

    I learned about Anissa's Spot at the recommendation of my trainer/owner Tyrone Irby of Together We Stand Gym (next door). He told me about the variety of smoothies, fruit bowls, coffees and sandwich options. So after my workout I decided to stop in a grab a healthy intake of a protein filled smoothie. I got the mango pineapple w/vegan protein. Immediately as I entered I was greeted, "welcome to Anissa's Spot" from a smiling, pleasant associate (this goes a long way and determines a return visit). Needless to say I will be back... but here's why I will be back and why you should come and visit but not just come in a grab a smoothie but spend a little time here. The atmosphere is so inviting... there's ample space to sit comfortably and enjoy your smoothie, coffee, or food. From high tops to dining tables and even a lounge area. In the background there's nice tunes not too loud or too low just the right volume that you're not distracted or heard if you're in conversation or concentration. The spot is airy and fresh, very clean, elegant light fixture that adds a taste of sophisticated decor. This will definitely be my hangout spot when I'm Durham both after workouts and just to stop by. If you're in the area you should check the spot (Anissa's) out

    One of the best açaí bowls I've ever had! They have premade bowls if you have a favorite combination. This one has blueberries and bananas. But if you're feeling adventurous or want to try new combos, they also offer a build your own option. If you're feeling something more hearty, they have sandwiches available as well, but I would not leave this place without grabbing one of these! We sat outside since we had our dogs with us, and they were so nice to being our food out on a tray so we didn't have to move! Talk about excellent service!

    Very cute and chic coffee spot. The service was quick as well the employees were patient and nice. Enjoyed my coffee and time here.

    This is a new coffee shop in the area. I tried their coffee, Acai bowl & smoothies. Good place to hangout with friends and family. Friendly staff and decent ambience. I would prefer smoothies & Açaí bowl than their cappuccino.

    If y'all haven't been, you NEED to go to Anissa's Spot in Durham! I went for the first time today and it was amazing! The young ladies working were welcoming and professional. The ambiance was top notch too! Bright and viabrant colors, clean and smelled amazing! They have everything from merch to coffee, açaí bowl, smoothies, and more. Build your own or pick something off their menu. Also the staff was nice enough to make recommendations! I got an açaí bowl, and it did not disappoint! I'll definitely be joining their awards program and be going back!

    We had hear about this spot but never came until we got a coupon in the mail. It's in a strip that is not very visible from the road, so follow GPS if you got it. I ordered the Dukester acai bowl with blackberries and my wife got the Heels Up bowl acai bowl with bananas. We're not really familiar with acai bowls but thought it would come with acai berries or syrup. The bowls were filling, and we ended up taking leftovers home with us. They also have smoothies and limited coffee options. I might stop by again when my car is at the AAA service center. Happy to know that this is a Black woman-owned business.

    Friendly service, and delicious açaí bowl! The bowl is super fresh and not overly sweet. Will definitely come back to try the coffee and other food.

    The açaí bowls are absolutely amazing!!! Get extra peanut butter. It's so refreshing and a wonderful sweet treat for the afternoon. The staff are all so helpful and friendly and Anissa is wonderful to chat with.

    Purple and Pearl never disappoints and we keep coming back for a reason! On our latest visit, we…read moretried the croffle (a croissant transformed into a waffle) and it was absolutely divine. The menu and drinks are consistently on point. The owner herself served us and prepared our food, which says everything about the heart behind this place. She's incredibly warm and welcoming. With a 99/100 sanitation rating, you can sit back and enjoy every bite knowing the space is held to a seriously high standard. The vibe here is just the best.. soft, relaxing music sets the perfect mood, and there are even games to keep the good times going. Whether you're stopping in solo or making it a whole outing, Purple and Pearl delivers every single time.

    Bottom line: Purple & Pearl is a nicely decorated shop with many types of tea/milk/matcha type…read morebeverages. I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea here a lot with the minimum sweetness level. The croffle was good, I was a bit confused by the offered toppings however the whipped cream it originally has on it works well but has a very thick layer of it. I'd definitely come back for the strawberry lime tea in the future. The Deets: During a recent walk through the neighborhood, I noticed the newish Purple & Pearl and decided to pop in there. Purple & Pearl specializes in fruit tea/bubble tea/milk tea/matcha latte/Vietnamese coffee/fresh milk beverages with a few snacks in the form of croffles (waffle and croissant hybrid). Upon entering, this space is very nicely decorated with high aesthetic appeal. I looked over the menu and decided on getting the strawberry lime tea with a croffle to snack on there. I got the tea with the lowest available sweetness (sticker on it stated 25%, from the natural sweetness of the fruit it was explained to me as I did ask for no sweetness) and liked it a lot with a great taste as well as refreshing. Looking at the topping section of the menu under the snacks/croffle area, I saw custard and asked for that on my croffle. I was quickly informed, short version, that the custard was not actually available as a croffle topping so after the explanation I decided on going with the default topping which was a lot of whipped cream with powdered sugar. I did take off a majority (not all) of the whipped cream and powdered sugar and enjoyed the croffle itself as a nice snack (in the future I would ask for no powdered sugar). I would definitely visit Purple & Pearl again for a refreshing beverage, I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea choice very much.
