This acai place is refreshing and delicious! They have some preset acai bowls, or you can get a customized one. There are also three sizes you can choose from: 12oz, 16oz or 24oz. As a Filipino, I just had to get their Ube Dream Bowl. It consists of ube acai, Choco chia granola, coconut chia pudding, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, toasted coconut, almond, hemp seeds, and agave. It was quite delightful and filling! Located inside the food market area of the Enclave. A good choice for dessert or a healthy meal in itself. read more

The service is great and they are fast at putting your bowl together. I went right before closing and it wasn't busy. The coconut dream base was lacking a bit of flavor. The matcha chia seed putting was my favorite. There was something in my bowl, I'm guessing their matcha powder, that had a really funky flavor. It was 10 dollars for their smallest size which is a 12 ounce. It's so so for the pricing I think. Overall, I don't think I liked how I built the bowl so I'd try again to see if it was just me or the ingredients. read more

Just bookmarked this to add to our list of favorite local spots! Will definitely be back to try some more açaí bowls here. We love that they have unique bases--tried ube dream (my kid's favorite), coconut dream (because the pink and blue is so instagrammable!) and mango (my favorite and the one I would get again next time). I'm curious to try the traditional açaí flavor next time as well as pandan, and all of them. You can pick and mix as many bases and toppings as you want which is amazing but also hard for indecisive people like me, lol. Luckily they also have pre-made bowls you can pick from! I couldn't stop myself from wanting to try as much as possible though. I got my bowl with matcha chia (the other options all looked great though), chocolate chia granola (loved but want to try the hemp granola next time too), strawberries, banana, agave (good but want almond butter next time!), cocoa powder (also yummy but curious about matcha powder for next time). I got almost all the toppings to try but it was definitely too much for me so next time I would probably just get almonds. Honestly just writing this down so I remember my order for next time haha. I'm already planning my next visit here so clearly it has to be good! Last but not least, the ambiance was also nice. It's located at The Enclave and it was our first time visiting this food hall. Tons of seating around with cool artwork decorating the building. It looks like they have events here too so will have to try one sometime. read more

Berry brand bring unique flavors to the acai bowl game. Almost all acai bowls store are the same and it's rare for me to find one that catches my attention. Berry Brand offers unique flavors such as pandan, ube, and coconut, as well as your typical acai and pitaya. They offer your everyday açaí bowl toppings and are not stingy when it comes to filling your bowl. They texture of their acai flavors give a thick creamy consistency which makes it take a while for it to melt, so a big plus for when I want to slowly enjoy my bowl. It is located inside the food court of the Enclave so it is fills with seats and natural lighting. A great place to sit down to do some work or read a book while enjoying nice acai bowl from here. The employees are great. Got to meet Kat, she was kind and super helpful when it came to ordering. Berry Brand is top 3 acai spots for me! read more

Berry Brand offers ube and pandan bases! The Pinay in me gets really excited about these options. The mango base is good too! I've had Berry Brand about 3 times now. I prefer this location at Enclave because it's Enclave and a cool spot to hang out. They seem to have many of my favorite toppings such as blueberries, goji berries, cacao nibs, and almond butter. I love looking at how pretty the layers are in these bowls! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/berry-brand-torrance?select=DGZComZBYWhZ2bV1cZfZXg read more

This tiny place in the Enclave is LEGIT for açaí bowls! The person behind the counter was super nice and helpful and our bowls were ready very quickly. I'm allergic to almonds and they asked if they should prepare my bowl with nut free precautions, which I appreciated. We have another açaí bowl place close by and it was such a soupy disappointment, so I was really happy not to need a straw to eat my bowl! Try the mango base...delicious!! Will definitely be back!t read more

Berry Brand is very similar to Blue Bowl if you are familiar with that. It's kind of like a chipotle of acai bowls where you can choose from a bunch of bases and unique toppings. To be honest, it's really hard to mess up an acai bowl unless you choose fruits that aren't ripe or stale granola/toppings. I honestly don't know what I got because everything was hard to pronounce and comprehend. Waaaay above my reading level. I got a bunch of "this" and a bunch of "that" and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, and you feel healthy after eating one of the bowls. The lady helping us was great and very patient. I think it was weird how she was completely behind a glass wall so communication was cut off when making the acai bowl. Rather than going down the line and telling them what you want by pointing, you have to tell them at the register and they'll make it for you. This place is located at one of those gentrified food courts and there's also plenty of other restaurants surrounding it. So it might be busy depending on the time of day you come. The seating is shared throughout the whole food court and may get busy depending on the time of day. Try it if you're in the area if you want to be healthy. read more

Located in The Enclave, Berry Brand is one of my favorite spots to stop by for a light lunch that leaves me feeling refreshed and satisfied. The prices are very reasonable, compared to other açaí places I've been (the prices range from $10-$15), and you can have unlimited toppings. Staff is very nice! I think it would be helpful for them to have full sheet of all the different steps, flavors, and toppings, but they juuust opened up so I'm sure it'll come soon :-) read more

So refreshing on a hot day! Berry Brand's ingredients and style of açaí bowl is very similar to Blue Bowl! I decided to build my own bowl. For my bases, I got açaí, pitaya, matcha chia pudding. I got the hemp granola, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds & agave as toppings. The ingredients are all super fresh. I do wish there was a list of ingredients or a better way of seeing what the ingredients are to make ordering a bit easier, since I had to go up to the window to look at the ingredients and then memorize what I was going to get, then order at the cashier. Overall service was very good and workers were nice! Def would come back. read more

I got an acai base with matcha chia pudding, hemp granola, strawberries, blueberries, banana, chia seeds, hemp seeds, & agave. Toppings are unlimited! There are 3 different sizes. I got the 12 oz (the smallest size) but they definitely pack it in! This place is very similar to Blue Bowl. The workers are also very nice & they make the bowls quickly.

Trying this place for the first time, I ordered and after waiting about 15min I decided to go figure out why my order was taking so long, looked like the person who took my order went on break after my order. They realized what had happened when they saw me standing there. Didn't bother to apologize for the wait or mishap. The bowl itself was just ok. A bit sweet, the pitaya was sweet and so was the granola, seemed to be coated in some sort of sweet. Probably wouldn't come here again for an acai bowl. read more

Berry Brand is that girl. I got the Cali Bowl-think açaí base, hemp granola, vanilla chia pudding, strawberries, blueberries, and banana-and it was pure magic in a bowl. Fresh, flavorful, and somehow both energizing and indulgent. Total lunch goals. The vibes? Immaculate. The service? So friendly. The menu? A scroll-worthy lineup of deliciousness. 10/10 will be back to work my way through every bowl on the list. read more

The store is cute and modern. There's an old coin telephone on the wall that I have yet to check if it works, which adds to the cuteness. The staff is young but always friendly. I usually order my bowls online for pick-up, so they're very quick. As for the food, the concept of an açaí bowl is simple, but I've tried other places (in and out of California) and they simply do not compare to Berry Brand. My family thinks so too! I think it has to do with the fresh taste and the variety of options. I like that they provide the most options for base flavors (I.e., açaí, pitaya, mango, pandan, coconut dream and ube dream), they offer different flavored chia and granola, and they have a great selection of toppings (from fresh fruits, nuts, goji berries, syrups). I highly recommend adding pink salt as a topping because it brings out the flavors even more. The picture I attached isn't the best because we dug into our bowls immediately. That's how good it is . They have signature bowls, but my family and I like to creat our own. read more

I have been looking for a good açaí bowl spot near me and I finally found it! My friends and I decided to grab lunch at the enclave today and I stumbled across berry brand! What caught my eye was the ube dream bowl. I have never been to an açaí bowl spot that served an ube base. I had a difficult time deciding on a bowl but the sweet employees informed me that I could build my own bowl so I did. They offered a variety of bases which included acai, pitaya, coconut, pandan, ube, and mango. I got açaí and ube as my base which was sweet, delicious, and refreshing especially on a hot summer day. Then I was able to add unlimited fruits, toppings, nut butters, and sweeteners. My 16oz bowl cost $12 which is similar to other açaí bowl places I've been too. I am definitely coming back the next time I'm craving an açaí bowl! read more

Went here yesterday. I stood in front of the counter for about 3-5minutes waiting to be served. There was a worker behind the glass window that I made eye contact with couple times while I was waiting. Then there was another customer who asked me if I needed anything, so I asked him if this is where I order and he told me that the store is actually closed. So I walked away. First off all, why did the worker just let me stand there the whole time and ignored me. The worker could have easily stepped to the side to let them know that they were already closed.

I stumbled upon the "Enclave" this past weekend on a scorcher of a Saturday. Normally, I'd indulge in some Pho or possibly a hot bowl of Ramen but I needed something refreshing because I had just whooped some 14-year-old in table tennis in the courtyard and I had sweat dripping from my brow. I was almost overcome by the euphoric feeling of victory when someone walked by with an Acai bowl that looked like it was hand-delivered from the tropical fruit orchards of Central Florida. Much to my delight, it was actually created just 15 feet to the south at "Berry Brand," a new Acai Bowl "spot" (not a restaurant, not a counter, not a stand, but a spot) inside the sleekly designed food court that is a vibe in its own right. I took the kind cashier's recommendation of the current crowd favorite "Ube Bowl" and was blown away by the combination of Ube (I still don't know exactly what that is), berries, light syrup, and some other stuff that served as an intermediary layer to create the perfect fruit/nut/ube/something else collaboration, similar to the way the Italians put together lasagna in a heavenly way but also very different. I went with the medium size but next time definitely stepping my Ube game up to a large. 5/5 will be back. read more

Not destination dining, but absolutely worth a stop if you're nearby and want something warm and fresh.

The lighting is warm and intentional, creating an intimate, upscale vibe without feeling pretentious. Whether you're on a romantic date or just catching up with friends, the beautiful interior design--complete with subtle traditional accents and modern elegance--sets the perfect stage for a memorable meal. For dinner I kept it classic with the Aloo Gobi and Basmati Rice, and it was executed to perfection. The cauliflower was tender yet retained a slight crunch, and the potatoes were buttery soft. The rice was incredible fragrant, fluffy, and served in a generous portion. It was the ideal canvas for the rich flavors of the Gobi. The service was impeccable--attentive but never hovering. It's rare to find a spot where the visual beauty of the space matches the quality of the kitchen, but this place nails it. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu soon! I recommend Banana Leaf!

I was not expecting such a great experience here. We came on a Monday afternoon for happy hour…read more(they also have daily specials, but I think that we preferred the happy hour specials). They told us we could sit anywhere. It has a modern feel, plus lots of TVs, so maybe also a sports bar-vibe? They had the Olympics on, so I'm not complaining. They provide complimentary chips and salsa. I actually really liked the seasoning on the chips. Salsa was pretty good as well. We ordered a few tacos off the happy hour menu: fish taco, fried shrimp taco, chicken mole, and asada. Did not expect them to be as big as they were! Between two of us, we were stuffed from 4 tacos and could barely finish them. I really liked the chicken mole. I thought that the addition of the slivered almonds, pepitas and radishes was a delicious touch that really enhanced the texture with a bit of crunch. However, I got the scooner of Max's marg and thought that it was sorta of weak. Couldn't taste much tequila. The other downside was that there was a really loud party at the other end of the restaurant and one of them had a really sharp voice. I get that they probably were also enjoying the happy hour, but it really echos throughout the restaurant... and I don't think the servers can do much to quiet down a rowdy table a paying patrons...

Upon arrival, the hostess…read morehonestly seemed a little bothered that we were there to dine, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully our waiter John completely changed the experience. He was attentive, friendly, and served us with a smile the whole time. We sat inside and the place was super cute! Of course our fur baby Louie joined us and stayed cozy right beside me the entire time The tacos were sooo yummy! I had the shrimp and asada tacos and let me tell you... the shrimp were huge and packed with flavor. The beans and rice were delicious too. But my FAVORITE was the ahi tuna tacos! I loved every bite and could eat 5! lol I'll come back just for that. The only disappointing part was noticing that some of the glasses looked dirty. Hopefully that's something they improve on because the food itself was really good and we still enjoyed our visit overall.

I had the chicken club with a side of very dry basmati rice, couldn't finish it. The side of chips were almost stale. Had the pineapple coconut & lime juice. Not much of a lime flavor actually came off as "minty". My friend was also served dry basmati rice with some over cooked shrimp. Wished they were bigger to match the price of the plate. Another friend who had the classic chicken tenders enjoyed them. Flavorful and the Texture was there. A third friend was served the Buffalo tenders, which are usually drenched in sauce, however were not. The atmosphere and service from Jailene and a server (who's name I unfortunately didn't get) was genuinely pleasant.
