3.5 stars overall. Beef Bone Broth: Flavorful but also unexpectedly VERY SPICY, which was not pleasant for me, especially first thing in the morning. This might have been fine otherwise if I had known beforehand there would be so much spice (red pepper?) added. It was so spicy I had to take breaks because it was burning the roof of my mouth. I was expecting soothing bone broth but this had a lot of kick, which may be perfect for you if that's what you want. Green Goddess smoothie: Tasty and has vegan protein. The pineapple made it very sweet. Cold Brew Coffee: Not good at all. No complimentary milk or sugar available to mix in either. Clean dine-in space. Quick and easy pickup.
I stumbled upon this small acai place as I was walking along Polk St looking for lunch. Service was friendly and quick, they automatically gave me a stamp card. I'm assuming you get a free bowl after 12. There is both seating inside and outdoors. The menu is rather limited and the music was playing pretty loudly. (8/10) Original Gangster, good acai topped with lots of fruit, their blueberries and sliced strawberries are huge and I especially loved the large shavings of coconut. Although their bowls are taller than wide so it was difficult to mix the toppings in. I got a regular and it was a big potion size. Because it's SF, their prices would be considered average, paying $14.50 for my bowl. Definitely will consider coming again for when I'm craving an acai bowl!
Found this place one day after a heated yoga class and wish I found it sooner! It's a cute cafe/restaurant with an order/pickup window so very casual! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating though if you want to dine in! Fresh ingredients and worth every penny! The açaí bowl was probably one of the best ones I've ever had in the city!
Wanted a nice, "healthier" option for breakfast and came across Bowl'D Açaí. Lots of unique options of bowls and smoothies. Nothing really wow'd me unfortunately. Not that anything was bad, I was just expecting a little more flavor with the base and toppings on top. Closer to a 3.5/5
I thought I had visited before ..I walked by ..I got a flu shot today with sour yellow juice ...funny and weird like wheatgrass shots ...nice ..like to go back ..acai bowl fun fresh
Huge fan of the Açaí bowls! (This review is only reflected of them and not the other offerings as I've never deviated from what I LOVE) Super fresh, filling & flavorful bowls that i can never finish in one sitting, because they are substantial. The service is super quick and super super friendly! I typically order for pickup as I'm walking there. They do have several tables inside and out for seating if you'd like to enjoy your goods there. It's super quaint with a tropical vibe. Bowl'd is always consistent, so if you're nearby and need a healthy fix, definitely head here.
A really outstanding acai bowl! This was my first time here. I came while visiting SF on a recommendation from a local, and this did not disappoint. I've had quite a few bowls over the years and this is up there in quality. Plenty of toppings with a good ratio to yummy, flavor-packed base. Their menu looked to have several good options, but I wanted to try the OG, and I was very satisfied with that. Service was fast and friendly, and the place had a cool, minimalistic vibe and a few outdoor tables. Bonus points for the compostable and recyclable consciousness.
At the Polk Gulch looking for a source of energy to recharge my batteries ( this also included my phone). Since I needed a boost so I decided to grab the Rocket Fuel at Bowl'd Açaí . The Rocket Fuel smoothie has a microdose of coffee ,banana , peanut butter, vanilla and house made almond milk. A few sips my mind was lit up and ready for take off with no turbulence. The taste was good and I enjoyed the different flavor mixed combinations inside the cup. The inside of Bowl'd Açaí brick and mortar had the booming system sound vibe bumping and playing some really good vibing music. I was getting a brain storm inside their rainforest decor. I also like their motto at Bowl'd Açaí as they referred themselves as the "Original Gangster"( I know , I can relate). The other drinks I like to try is the Hella Green ( sounds like lots of one of my favorite colors " Green" in San Francisco). They also offer Beef Broth and have shots like in the "vaccine shot" and the" cold assassin". They have Açaí Bowls and Poke Bowls. They also have a good Happy Hour menu. A good place for a pick me up and to an enjoy a relaxing atmosphere and for people watching. Go to the O.G Bowl'd Açaí on Polk and get either duo: Hella Green or the Rocket Fuel A few sips you will start feeling the transformation and a boost from the O.G energy renewal
Huge portion sizes! We got a large original gangster and great white fish bowl. Both were good, but heads up that the large containers are kind of hard to eat out of since they're so tall. It was difficult to mix the bowls without eating all the toppings first. I liked how the great white fish bowls were made with brown rice and topped with macadamia nuts.
I love this place. I love acai bowls They changed their menu and added some salty bowls. Very nice staff Nuts bowl is sooooooo good
I used to come to this place when it was Basik Cafe and this spot has really fresh options. However, the service here was terrible. I ordered the Green Goliath bowl and asked the woman at the cashier to add the ingredients of the hella green smoothie to the base of the green goliath bowl and that I still wanted all the toppings of the green goliath including the base. When I got my bowl, there were no toppings, so they agreed to remake it with toppings. They remade it with toppings free of charge no problem. When I first tried my second bowl, it tasted like just plant protein, it was very difficult for me to enjoy and tasted like dirt. I tried to explain the other person working the situation and that the first mistake was on their part and not mine. Had my bowl been made properly the first time, I would've been able to actually get something I wanted free of charge instead of paying for the first mistake on their part. The man working rudely told me they already made my order twice and that it wasn't their problem. If I wanted something else I'd have to pay full price again and "our menu items are already crafted a certain way and it wasn't their fault if it tasted like dirt." I hate going karen mode when something isn't good, but I paid $20 for this bowl just to get something I hate and paid for their mistake. Shouldn't have been such a big issue to just get it remade again if i'm paying $20 for it and my order was messed up the first time.
I was a classical pianist. I won competitions. To play at that level requires an unbelievable amount of dedication, determination and skill. Similarly, a great business like Bowl'D Açaí, owners Reza and Angel make it LOOK easy however to hit it out of the park EVERY visit, EVERY location, EVERY order, that's really exceptional. How it all comes together, like a piano concerto, is a bit of magic. And once I get a taste, I have to have it, I become a little obsessed following around their food trucks like Single White Female. Until now: Bowl'D Açaí also has a new store on the 1900 block of Polk Street in Russian Hill. Wallpapered in a cheery green tropical pattern, the bright colors wake you up before your tastebuds get hit with the clean, lively flavors of their smoothies or a health shot (I recommend the ginger). The ingredients at Bowl'D Açaí are so fresh from line- caught ahi in their Great White poke bowl to the ingredients in the "These Nuts" smoothie from açaí, peanut butter, chia seeds, maca, bee pollen and more. I need to branch out and try something new because once my son (The Incinerator) gets his mitts around his order, it's gone in 60 seconds and I always get the same thing, the Great White, piranha style. The flavors, the uniqueness, the clean, healthy ingredients, you'll quickly become a little obsessed, too. Don't forget the loyalty card, you *will* use it!
Ordered through doordash the Gangster Açaí Bowl! Super fresh, delicious, not too sweet and satisfying. The granola bar tasted super healthy and organic, making the bowl more satisfying whilst not leaving you feeling bloated. 10/10 would recommend you try this place for a healthy sweet treat.
I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I decided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by. read more
I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower. Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able. read more

Delicious acai bowl & smoothies in Lower Nob Hill/Russian Hill. Get your fruit and acai in a smoothie or bowl. Even protein bowls! A large variety of choices. Not as many fruit ingredient choices as another shop. But great tasting & post gym or run meal. read more

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now. After completing 7 miles run/ walk at Lake Chabot, I figured I had time to stop by the Lake Merritt Farmer's Market. While there I was craving something super healthy and fun. I found myself aimlessly walking around the area with no clear sense of direction to find an Açaí bowl. On my way back from the completely wrong direction the Bowl'D Açaí good truck appeared. It was meant to be! After examining the menu I ordered the Original Gangster in small. While awaiting my order I checked in on yelp, after doing so a coupon for a free ginger shot appeared. As I was picking up my order I asked if it were possible to redeem the coupon and they obliged. I got a free ginger shot! My Açaí bowl is beautiful and tastes even better. Did I mention it was much bigger than I expected!? I enjoyed the ginger shot as well but know it is SPICY in a good way. I was able to take my items an sit on the wall while enjoying the live performance by the Aloha Uke Squad. I look forward to returning to have another Açaí bowl or maybe try the smoothies they offer. read more
This is San Francisco... so it's going to be pricy. About $20 for a large acai bowl. In Orange County, you pay $10 for the same size Nevertheless, it's delicious! I got "these nuts" and man was it delicious! I loved that it was full of goodness and was very filling. I was not able to finish it because it was simply so much! If you love acai, this is the place for you! 10/10 recommend read more
What a nice cozy place near Union and Polk! The place only has two tables so I would not recommend planning to find a table, but the food options are really healthy and delicious. They have various healthy bowl options whether you're in the mood first something hot or cold. Flavors and freshness are guaranteed and everything is served in a to go container for convenience. May not find a place to sit, but it's definitely worth trying. read more
Delicious açaí bowls. Something so refreshing about eating acai bowls and you feel full after. While the Original gangster bowl was such a bad a$$ way to order out loud, I eventually gravitated towards the These Nuts bowl because hey, it's nuts. Service was friendly and the ambiance is positive. I had these in person and via delivery. Both really good. read more

I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon wanting an acai bowl. The interior is super cute with a few tables and the ordering window. The vibes are very tropical with vine decorations and light club music playing. There are also 4 outdoor tables for when it's nice outside. The lady at the ordering window was super friendly and it only took about 2 minutes for my bowl to come out. The bowl itself was exactly what I was wanting. The fruit on top was super fresh and they give a ton of the actual acai as well, it's not just 80% granola like some other places. I got a punch card this visit and will definitely return soon! read more

You're not going to Bowl D'Acai for the ambiance, you're going for the "original gangster" Acai Bowl which is packed with fruit, coconut, honey and granola, to your specifications. Best Acai bowl I've ever had!! It's delicious beyond and incredibly refreshing. You can ask for it opened so it's overflowing and start eating it there at one of their basic outdoor tables, or you can get it closed and wait til you get to your destination. I was once there with a bit of a crowd and the server actually brought out all of our orders on a tray-it was adorable and excellent customer service! read more
I love their acai bowls but I was craving something savory so I got their plant warrior protein bowl which comes with plant based chorizo, brown rice, spinach and green onion. I love how simple yet flavorful this bowl was, make sure to ask for sauce on the side if you want it spicy. I will say it is a bit pricey ($17) for the portion you get, but it's plant based and tastes amazing, so can't complain. The place itself is small, and up to 4-5 people can sit inside, so it seems more of a to-go spot. The staff here are also very kind and welcoming. read more

Wow!! This was so delicious & the customer service was exceptional. Beautiful outside patio to sit on a hot day and enjoy your Acai bowl. Thank you for a great experience! read more
Spotted the food truck on a Sunday afternoon @ Lake Merritt. What I/We Ordered: + Original Gangster, 5/5 + Beef Bone Broth, 5/5 Super refreshing on a warm day in Oakland. I left out the honey and coconut shavings for my bowl. Açaí was supppper cold, loved it! Strawberries, bananas, and granola go so well with the açaí. Gave my blueberries away. My partner ordered the bone broth (on a hot day?!). No complaints! Would stop by again! read more
Visited the truck in Walnut Creek & appreciated the great service! We got immune booster shots, açaí bowls, a smoothie and a poke bowl. Needless to say, EVERYTHING was delicious. There was contactless payment and hand sanitizer available. We went about lunch time and there was no rush. Truck was a bit tucked in so we missed it as we drove by and were only able to see it once we walked back. There is street parking available on the opposite side of the street since they are located on the main side on N main st. You can also find additional parking in the garage. In terms of price for quality I believe it was fairly priced. All the items in the photo were a sum of $60 including tip. Really enjoyed the açaí (had both almond and peanut butter on mine since I couldn't decide ) the shots were exactly as you thought immunity shots would taste - good for those antioxidants. The poke was also great only thing is I wish they served it in a more short and wider bowl vs tall and slim as it makes mixing contexts hard . I did ask for the spicy sauce on the side just to try and glad that was my choice since it does have a kick. Overall great experience, customer service and food read more

They are VERY expensive and the products are decent, in regards to taste. The location (truck at lake Merritt) is almost impossible to park at. I got the Green Goddess premium smoothie. It had a lot of protein (25 grams) from plant protein and that's a plus. The taste was bland like there was no pineapple or mango. No taste but definitely fresh and it was $14.50 for 20 oz's. That's really steep and I wasn't blown away so I wouldn't order it again for that price. I also ordered an original gangster açaí bowl in a large. I was super excited to see different sizes because I'm obsessed with açaí and sometimes I have to order two. The large was $18 and that's not bad for the size but the flavor wasn't good. It was bland like the smoothie and the granola tasted burned. It wasn't the worst but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more
This review is based on the original gangster acai bowl... very disappointed. The strawberries and the blueberries are sour and the banana is too ripe. The acai itself is okay but not enough flavor to overcome the sourness of the unripened and over-ripened fruit as well as the unpleasant burnt aftertaste of the granola. For $14.50, this is probably one of the worst açaí bowls I've ever had. Maybe it's an off day for them but the fruit should at least be ripe/ready. Such a waste :( read more
