    Thao P.

    I checked this food truck out to see what all the big hype is about. I never had an Acai bowl before and glad I tried it! The food truck is purple and cute-- you can't miss it. Their Facebook page does a great job of informing mostly on a daily basis where they will be located. This truck has a huge turnout and is very popular. The Acai bowl comes in three sizes and I chose the smallest one for $6. I thought it was plenty big. The base of what's included in the price is the acai itself which is sort of like a frozen smoothie/sorbet with the acai puree in it. It's very good . It tastes like what I imagined with a berry like flavor but less tart/sweet. It also comes with bananas and granola which are yummy. You get to pick one topping such as berries and many other items. I like the mixed berries! It's nice to have a healthy refreshing food item like this and I can't wait to eat it again!

    BlackBerry, with mixed berries added.

    We were thrilled to see Big Acai at the Waukee Art Festival. The acai bowl was the perfect, most refreshing treat on a hot summer day. The acai sorbet is a great foundation, and then the granola and banana are on top. I got blackberries and then also paid for an add-on of mixed berries. I've had one in the past with peanut butter added too, and it was great. The serving sizes are fantastic and a great healthy meal alternative. Keep an eye on their Facebook page to see where they will be located next.

    This place has the best Açaí bowls! They have great service and a friendly staff. I would recommend…read moreanyone to come here. It is also very clean.

    I tried Everbowl after my best friend mentioned how much she loved it, and it definitely did not…read moredisappoint. Everything tasted so good, and all the ingredients were fresh. There are several premade bowls you can choose from or you have the option to make your own. I decided to make my own and loved it! For my bases I had coco love, açaí, and the pitaya. The coco love was delicious which surprised me since I am not a coconut fan, but it went so well when you got a bite of everything. The pitaya base was also incredible. The taste is very tropical and fruity. It paired very well with the coco love. My last base was the açaí which was good, but not the best I've had. Next time I would probably try another base. I did also receive a sample of the Blue Majic which I was told was the least popular base. Aesthetically I love that it's blue, but it tastes like nothing. I would not recommend getting it. They have a lengthy list of additional fruits and toppings you can choose from to add to the top of the bowl. I truly don't think you can go wrong! Everything I added was fresh and tasted delish. Go with your taste preferences here! The service was also wonderful. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu, but the gentleman working was so kind and happy to give me samples and answered any questions I had. I will definitely be back as I am already planning my next order!

    With toppings and everything, my regular sized bowl was barely half filled. I ordered two bowls and…read morethe first one, for my sister (pictured on the bottom) was filled up by the worker who rang me up. She was super accommodating and the bowl looked great! The second bowl was filled by I'm assuming a new worker (who didn't even put gloves on?! gross) and she put significantly less of everything in while watching the other worker fill the other bowl appropriately and it's just a bit frustrating since there's such a discernible difference in amounts. I asked if it was done when she put the lid on and tried to hand it to me and she just blank stared at me and said "Yeah." Would not waste almost $15 on a bowl here!!!

    Of the Acai bowls I've tried in Ankeny, this place is overall the best in my opinion. Main…read moreStreet's are larger but the acai base is runny and overly sweet, plus there aren't as many options for toppings. Big Acai bowls charges extra for all the toppings and I thought they were either less flavorful or just not sweet enough (or both). The coconut was like little tiny flakes instead of shavings and the peanut butter was just globbed on in one big spoonful instead of drizzled. Frutta Bowls has just the right sweetness, has a good variety of toppings that are included with the price, and the texture/consistency and presentation of the bowls is the best. I agree that the bowls are on the small side but they fill them to the brim. I wish the peanut butter topping was warmed up like some of the acai places do.
