We went to Backyard Bowls stand at Coachella as we were wanting something healthy & refreshing. 10/10, stellar combinations of flavors. The power bowl was especially delicious and hearty. read more

Never get your order made by the owner/ceo. This guy gave me crumbs for the oats on my expensive açaí bowl. He literally counted the amount of oats to put on my HUGE regular size açaí bowl. I had literally 2-3 bites that had some scrapes of oats in it. If him not giving me the correct and I would say a decent amount of oats for my huge portion size i purchased is what puts them out of business then it was never going to make it. This type of treatment keeps me far away. Thankfully the other workers are better than him. read more

Ordered avocado toast and a regular-sized power bowl on DoorDash, with sub strawberry and blueberry top and Pure Acai instead of the regular acai base because I'm watching my blood sugar. Avocado toast was good, but the power bowl came with bananas on top and no strawberries. The acai base itself was extremely sweet despite having requested unsweetened acai be used. Disappointed. read more

This is my favorite açaí bowl and avocado toast place, but today was a mess. I ordered my regular and go to sit and wait. 20mins pass and I've seen about customers come and go with their items. At that point go to the pick up counter and ask if I missed my name. They then say oh I'm sorry we ran out of th produce your item required so it will be another 5mins. I hate bad customer service. They not only could've let me know, but they could've offered me water or something while I wait. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS APPARENTLY NO LONGER A THING. It's now 12:08pm My transaction started at 11:37am Crazy work. read more

Backyard Bowls - My receipt with time stamp. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Honestly the staff looked and acted like they all hated their jobs. The 3 stars is more for the lackluster customer service than the bowl itself which was a delicious, 4/5 stars. I actually love Backyard bowls and was looking forward to enjoying my meal but was initially thrown off by how off-putting the customer experience was. But the bowl was great. Solid food, maybe just go to a different location where they aren't so snobby read more

This place has truly outstanding smoothies and bowls. Plus, it's right next to the gym that I work out at so it's easy to go over there afterwards. and they have it really great pea protein that they put in the staff is always Freindly and they have a really cool booth so when they mix stuff up, it doesn't break your eardrums. read more

All acai is expensive in LA, but only some is truly worth it. And backyard bowls is absolutely worth it. A massive bowl with an unbelievably flavorful acai base and toppings nearly overflowing is what you can expect. Also HUGE shoutout for sustainability, it's the only açaí place I've ever been to that has reusable bowls and spoons and not single use. read more

Very cool spot with great service. They offer a great selection of bowls and smoothies. The açaí bowls are well made. I got a regular berry bowl and was very happy with the quality. Hercules smoothie tastes great and packed the protein I needed. Definitely would visit again read more

The restaurant had a nice interior and there's a glass room where workers blend smoothies. The bowls were good: berry bowl tastes like your typical açaí and the fruits are pretty fresh. dragon bowl was ok-- the base doesn't really taste like dragon fruit which makes sense since dragon fruit doesn't really have a strong taste. it's definitely too sweet though and i got a headache from eating it lmaoo. avocado toast was good but when you factor in that it's a $11 slice of sourdough with mashed avocado, onions, and radish: it's mid. Overall the food is decent if you don't care about the price! read more

I'd never heard of this spot til today. My friend said he was picking up a smoothie and asked if i wanted one. I definitely said yes Checking out the menu, i asked for the pb and j porridge, almond butter toast, and the Hercules protein shake. Sadly the porridge wasn't still served at lunch. That almond butter toast made up for it though. I'm not sure if it was the bee pollen or strawberry preserves but it's addicting. And i got through that protein shake asap Definitely coming back so i can see the vibe of the actual in person ordering and pickup but it was bomb read more

To be honest, best açaí base in town! If you're looking for a solid açaí bowl, can't beat!

Came on Saturday and wasn't too busy! Lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Got the island bowl and Santa Barbara bowl with a friend with a solid amount of granola and fruit proportional to the acai/hemp milk. Was good, but a little overpriced compared to nearby areas. read more

A great little gem of a place in Beverly Fairfax area! Lots of cute decorations inside, dog friendly, and lots of people stopping by in workout clothes pre or post workout for a recharge :) We got the berry bowl regular size and were happily delighted when they served it in a real bowl when eating in as opposed to take out. You can watch them blend and organize the bowls efficiently and we only had to wait a few minutes for ours. The portion was quite large and fed 2 well for a decent price ($13)! read more

This review is for MANY issues I've now had with Backyard bowls. The first being when I arrived on a Thursday at 4pm and drove across the city to get an acai bowl, the location was closed. Calling doesn't work as it's automated. Checked Instagram. Nothing. Checked their website. Nothing. And now for the THIRD time, my order arrived completely melted. Even frozen yogurt locations provide an ice bag or some sort of insulation to prevent cold items not to melt but not Backyard Bowls! They send it in a paper "bowl" and in a paper bag. Perfect for melting your acai bowl on its 40 min journey (with multiple stops even though I selected priority). And while Postmates of course refuses to take responsibility- IN THE LEAST, AN INSULATED BAG WOULD HELP. You charge 20 dollars for acai and can't work this out? It's summer in LA. SURELY the owner or the GM can put together 3 brain cells to work this out. ** After posting this review and scrolling through all the reviews it looks like quality and service has RAPIDLY declined. While I like Backyard Bowls and WOULD HOPE MELISSA would do something about this, there are plenty of other acai bowl places that care and have better service. Take your money somewhere else. Not worth it. To Melissa - this is how you go out of business in LA. FIX IT. read more

We were actually shopping near by and decided that the smoothies were calling out to us. I know this place has more to offer but we just wanted something to hold us until lunch. The service was great. Worth stopping by. . . . .. . read more

Chow now is not transmitting orders so I am showing up and having to wait for them to prepare the order. I didn't have the time to wait last time so I asked them to send a refund because I didn't have the time to wait around for the order they had not prepared. I told them in person and I contacted ChowNow however I am currently waiting on hold forever because my refund hasn't been processed. The bowls use to be a little over 12 dollars now it's close to $20 and I can go to Kreation and get one for around $13 also this crap spikes your blood sugar so it's disguised as health food but don't be fooled read more

A LOVELY VIBE ON MELROSE FOR A LIGHT BREAKFAST PROS--------- FLAVORS: I got the Santa Barbara bowl and it was delicious. It's a big tall bowl but the top quarter is topping which I like cuz I like toppings. INSIDE: There is a lot of space to eat and chill with a nice low key vibe. The staff is super nice too. OPTIONS: There are so many açaí and oatmeal bowl options my head was spinning. I can confidently say there is something for everyone. They even have avocado toast and eggs n stuff. CONS------- TALL CUP: Although they give you a lot of toppings, I like to have some açaí with toppings in equal bites and it's hard to get to the açaí part cuz you have to dig through the toppings. First world problems I guess read more

Almost $10 this is a meal in a cup. It's really worth it I must say. I do not normally break arm and leg for fresh fruit but it's something about the mixture here that tastes so good!!! They do not make it fast it seems but it is all good if you are able to find a nice seating outside and bask in the sun. Such a California vibe with fruits, sun, and your pooches all next to you. There is a coffee store next door so you can head over if you still have room after this cup of lunch. The large cup is humongous! Definitely more than your daily fruit servings but so worth it! read more

Good, not out of this world amazing, but good solid açaí bowls! I read a few reviews here beforehand and I am so glad I did. Definitely order online & pick up-- it IS much faster, you can customize literally anything, and you get to skip that line! *Experience on a Sunday: My sister and I finalized our regular sized berry bowl orders at 12:05pm and they were ready for pick up at 12:20pm! We arrived around 12:30pm. It was my first time here and I was surprised lots of people were in line (maybe like 8-10+)! We walked right in to pick up and our food was ready! Taste--light and fresh. I have tasted better açaí bowls, but this wasn't bad either. It would have been nice if the granola wasn't just on the top but distributed throughout the entire bowl. I had banana + strawberry + blueberries with honey & cacao nibs as my topping--the fruits weren't that sweet/ripe but they was still tasty! 4/5 overall, just minus -1 because I have had better açaí bowls... but this did satisfy my cravings. read more

Poor service. My sister and I walked up and there was one person in front of us ready to order. However we decide to grab the menu that was on the stand outside to look at the menu. (I assume that's what the restaurant wants because they are intentionally placed there) Before we get to the door the host/server stops taking the persons order in front of us to tell us to put the menu back outside because there's one at the counter/register and he doesn't have to put them all back. The problem I have with this is, his focus should be on serving the actual customer who is before him, NOT worry about people walking up. To me this is pure laziness. If you hate your job just say that but ruining our day with a poor interaction makes you and this establishment poor. I will never eat here again if this is how they run shop. I hope the manager can reiterate the meaning of customer service. read more

Polite staff and nice set up at the store. They have a room where they blend and its soundproof! Very creative and thoughtful. I got the Regular Warrior Bowl - I believe it was $10.95 It was good enough for 2 people. The Warrior Bowl was very nutty. Doesn't have a refreshing taste but it's more filling I would say. I'd come back to try a different bowl! read more

Tip: order online & pick up, so much faster! My online order said pick-up was 8:30am & my food was done at 8:38am, not bad. I got there a little early and just waited. No biggie! Location: I can walk here from work, but today I drove & parking was very easy. Plenty of street parking at 8am on a weekday. Weekends, seems like it could be tricky! Price: yikes! If you get a lot of toppings/add ons, it can be pricy. I get açaí bowls all the time from Orange County & the place I go to doesnt charge for extra toppings. The place I frequent in OC, I usually get a thousand toppings hahaha. If I added everything I usually get from my regular açaí place, I'm pretty sure my bowl would be $25 Hahahahah. Taste: SOOOOOO GOOOD! Not too sweet & super fresh. I got the island bowl in regular size, with extra banana & almonds. THE ALMONDS are bomb, totally worth the $1, I'll even pay $2 for these bomb ass almonds lol. They're so crunchy & delicious. The fruit is crazy fresh & cut so pretty! Friendly workers!!! They were so sorrry everyone waited for their food, LA people are hangry in the morning lol. We all kept asking if our food was ready oops!! Can't wait to go back! read more

This place has no sense of urgency. Theres literally no customers and 2 bowls takes 25 mins on Labor Day!!

Fast preparation after placing order via DoorDash! Good amount of base and toppings. Wish the takeout containers were wider and less deep - kinda hard to reach the açaí base. Summer of DashPass deal currently going on - 15% off (up to $3) read more

My go to spot for smoothies and acai bowls! And I keep coming back here for good reason. Their ingredients are healthy, delicious, and fresh. I started going to the shop in Santa Barbara since my college friends and I were obsessed with it. But moving to LA it was hard to find not mega chains that served the same thing. That's why when moving to West LA I was so happy to see they have one in Mid City and one in Santa Monica. The sizes have always been a little too big for me so I always order the Island Bowl (kids size) sub strawberry for extra banana and no coconut flakes. They're always super attentive and kind to help me with any questions I had. I have been a regular at Backyard Bowls for years and will keep going back here. Only thing is parking is extremely hard to find since there is no dedicated parking lot so I did have to drive around for a bit for street parking. But if you're lucky and in the area, it is most definitely worth checking out :) You'll keep coming back here like me! read more

Always a great go to after a workout or if you need something cold and refreshing. Usually not a long wait and the staff is always friendly. They always get my order correct, I am always adding or modifying my order. They have a variety of dairy and dairy substitute option (Coconut water, cashew milk, apple juice etc). I love that they aren't stingy with their toppings and if you want a little more they add it in the house, most places charge extra for a half strawberry but they always make sure you get what you ask for and they nail it every time. read more

This is probably the best smoothie I've ever had! Brin was working and so so lovely, taking the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. I ordered the blueberry fields, my husband had the super green smoothie and our friend had the golden lion. The first thing we notified when we got our drinks was how beautiful the colors were. They looked so fresh and bright. All the smoothies were so well blended, not one chunk in sight! The flavors were amazing, I highly recommend the blueberry fields if you're looking for something refreshing and lightly sweet. And the best part of the space? They have a sound stifling booth for blending. I personally get really overwhelmed with sound and sometimes smoothie shops just feel too loud. I love that they have a booth just for blending, it makes the space so much more chill. read more

Placed a pick up order as I had my newborn baby sleeping in the car. I was hoping they would be kind enough to walk it out to me so I wouldn't have to wake up my baby, but I spent 20 minutes trying to get through to them (they don't pick up the phone and theres no voice mail), and when I finally managed to speak to someone they said "my manager said we don't do that". I was parked literally outside their door - all they had to do was step outside so that o could quickly grab it. Guess kindness is too much to ask for. This is extra disappointing as we've been coming to this location for years, even though the service and quality have been consistently going downhill. Will not be going back again. read more

This place now let's get started with this review , bowls definitely delicious 10/10 .The crew that works here awful very sad individuals that don't care if you live or die very weird vibes from them you can have a bad day sure but don't take it out on customers that's the way the world goes .

Waited 20+ minute for small bowl, asked if its ready, and they just took it out of fridge(pre made?), and it was wrong order. Told them about it, they said it was right (even though we say its wrong). They try to charge again so we just took the wrong item. It was melted, all employee rude, no attempts to help or even nice read more

I was driving through the area so I thought I would get some food to go. Omg....The arroz verde bowl was to die for. An explosion of different flavors. The green rice was mixed with something that was so tasty. Would definitely get it again. Very filling.
