    Love Bowlista's smoothies! I've tried the Popeye punch, islander and summer smoothies. The smoothies are tasty, refreshing, and a great consistency (thick and creamy but still easy to drink with a straw). If you go to Bowlista in a rush or expecting quick service, you will be disappointed. If you have more time to spare, it'll be worth the wait! There are signs that mention the longer wait time so that customers aren't surprised. There are fun lounge chairs up front for you to sit and enjoy the sun while you wait. Shoutout to Lars for the drink reccs! The summer smoothie is my new favorite. Will have to try the purple rain next time!

    Amazing vibe & recommendation with the coffee mocha crunch Super knowledgeable staff & great service.

    Great options for the açaí bowls: bases such as matcha, chia pudding, açaí, pitaya; unlimited toppings such as peanut butter, nuts, and fruits. Service does take a bit of time so perhaps order online (I was the only person and after ordering, I probably waited 8-10 minutes).

    Cute little spot!! This place is definitely not fast, as everything is prepared by hand so just prepare to wait a little! Even the coffee is freshly brewed ! The inside is super cute! There were a plethora of options for açaí bowls and smoothies. I got the islander acai bowl and it was just as I imagined, so yummy and perfect! It looked beautiful and I love how there was granola throughout the whole bowl. The bowls are super filling too. The guy working there was really friendly too!

    I used to come here all the time, but I travel for work a ton. Finally had a day off to treat myself with my husband. Was ignored when we walked in. The kid behind the counter was on the phone and acted like he couldn't be bothered. After standing there for about 5 minutes, we asked, "hiya! How's it going?" trying to be polite to get his attention. When he finally walked over to us, he told me husband, "I'm on the phone with my boss." He acted like we were an inconvenience to him. We both ordered smalls, got rung up for regulars. The food was delicious. But the customer service was terrible. He remained on the phone the entirety of our visit. This will probably be the last time I visit. A little hospitality or customer service goes a long way. But to be completely ignored and brushed off, just isn't good business.

    Sooo good!!!

    I still love this place!! The ambiance, the quality and freshness of all the ingredients, great management, clean environment, and friendly service are all the reasons I come back. But I did overhear a conversation while I was in line, so I'd like to make a small suggestion. Maybe this establishment can print out a menu because it is a little challenging to the see the one overhead for those who have weaker visibility. My favorite is the Popeye bowl. So healthy but yet so yummy!! I always look forward to my next visit. Thanks, Bowlista team, for being awesome!

    This place is incredible. Their Acai is extremely delicious and they offer the widest variety of toppings compared to other Acai places. There is a long wait time typically but it's well worth it for the quality you get, this can also be negated by ordering online. This place is also fairly reasonable for the quality that you get. The owner, Lars, takes such pride in each bowl, and it is very apparent. This is my go to Acai place and will be for quite a while.

    My FAVORITE place to get breakfast. I have been to a lot of açaí places and this one offers the widest variety by far for their toppings. Every single ingredient is high quality. The owner, Lars, takes so much pride in his work and you can tell with each bowl.

After visiting TJ Maxx, the hubby and I decided to eat here for the first time. They boast grass fed natural goodness and no seed oils. The hubby enjoyed his burger and fries. His was a smashburger while I chose a kids meal that includes a slider, fries, and a bottled water. Made a mistake and ordered a side Caesar salad. While tasty and admirable that I attempted to eat a salad a burger place, I probably will stick with just the kids meal as that was satisfying. I did manage to eat more that half of the salad. Haha The ordering is self serve on the touchscreen at the counter. Kind and enthusiastic employees are available for assistance. Dining area is typical fast casual tables and chairs. On a Saturday late afternoon, there are TVs on the wall with college football games on. Plenty of parking that is shared with Ralph's, Starbucks, Panda, and more. If the hubby and I are visiting this area again, we would likely return. It's more like 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4.
