Takes over 30 min since placing order in their app to get the order.

Jenn S.

2nd update - The owner confronted me about this review. It's unfortunate when business owners can't take feedback though and I was honestly shocked that after waiting more than 30 minutes for an order I placed in advance that this guy went on the offensive to ask if I was happy to hurt small businesses. I told him I am not trying to hurt any businesses but reviews are only as good as they are honest. He told me that he's had people wait for an hour without complaining. Sir, WHY is anyone WAITING 60 minutes for smoothie bowls? He said it was because they had 8 orders. I suggested he hire another worker because that's way too long to wait for smoothies and bowls. Update - spoke to the worker who appears to be the owner who said they had a lot of DoorDash orders ahead of me. I saw two customers. Now I think it's better to order through DoorDash because this business seems to prioritize those orders rather than through their native app likely because DoorDash tracks the amount of time it takes for each order to complete and be ready for pickup. At this point I just wanted a refund but he said it was already nearly done so... ----- Açaí bowls and smoothie spots - they're so many that exist but so few that check all the boxes. Sadly, this is not one of them. The good: Fresh ingredients, diverse and healthy combinations for açaí bowls and smoothies The bad: Slowwwww. Even if you order on the app, they'll be behind by 20+ minutes from the stated time for pickup. Literally heard him tell two customers to order on the app next time but what's the point if it takes them 30+ min to complete an app order?. It's 3:56pm. The order was placed at 3:31pm. And as you can see in the photo, the order is still pending (not completed) and I'm sitting here waiting. The ugly: Service. Not sure why the workers are always disgruntled here. The first time it happened I figured it was a random occurrence although I didn't come back for a while. Now I'm pretty sure they don't care about customer service - which is fine for some people but for me, it's a bummer. All in all - order far in advance on DoorDash because the Bowlista app, which works well, doesn't actually seem like it's an app for ordering ahead. Tip after you get your order. Sip and enjoy.

Bowlista is an absolute gem! I can't say enough good things about this place. It is my go-to for fresh, thoughtfully made smoothies and wellness shots. The overnight oats and bowls need an honorable mention as well, so delicious. What really sets Bowlista apart is how kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating the staff are. I came in needing something very specific for hydration and recovery, and they were more than happy to help me customize a smoothie (swapping bases, adding greens, chia, Himalayan salt, etc.) without making it feel complicated or rushed. Everything I've ever tried at Bowlista, has tasted amazing and even made me feel better, which doesn't always happen at juice bars. The ingredients are clearly high quality, the menu is creative but not overwhelming, and the space has such a clean, calming vibe. Whether you're looking for hydration, recovery, or just a genuinely delicious smoothie, bowl, etc. Bowlista delivers every time. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving and the people they're serving it to. Highly recommend 10/10.

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!

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).

Betty C.

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.

Char G.

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!

Jack G.

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.

Jasmin H.

The pictures on Google Maps look very impressive, but there must be some store taken ones among them. The bowls and juices are served in plastic wear, not very environmental friendly. The bowls are just ok. It was somewhat too sweet and I am not sure if they are using natural sweetener. I did not find anything special. They look much better and fresher in the pictures. There was also only one person working. So they were understaffed and it took a long time for the order to be ready.

Ordered online this time, we always order In person at least every Sunday morning, when we picked up the order employee was speaking in a rude tone, he stated if I needed extra almond butter, not to write it on the notes I was confused because there was no option for extra almond butter. I was trying to grasp what was going on with his attitude. All I wanted was to pick up the order, but then I realized, he still didn't give me almond butter so I go back and asked him if he can charge me for the almond butter I told the employee there was no specifications on the app regarding my request, he lashes out saying he has to charge me because they can't be losing money on extra stuff and not charging. This was never the problem I don't mind paying extra we paid 5 dollars extra for it, it was the terrible attitude and exchange of words that made this experience a horrible one, then he said who do I think I am, like I was the one giving him attitude. I don't know how people like this run a business. Trashy and rude employee. read more

This is my favorite açaí bowl place. The service is amazing. When I walked in, I didn't know what to get. The menu was thoroughly explained and I was given great recommendations based on taste and flavor. The tables and chairs are comfortable and very modern looking. It's a fun environment for friends and couples. It is conveniently located near the Whiting Ranch trails. The Islander bowl with açaí was amazing. The honey and granola mixture was my favorite part. The summer bowl has a pitaya base that is sweet and tasty! Soon they have a create your own bowl option where you can choose a base of açaí, pitaya, matcha, or active coco. Then, you can select UNLIMITED toppings! From granola, to pudding, fresh or dried fruits, nuts, seeds, and more. I am excited to return so I can try more bowls! P.S. They take APPLE PAY! read more

Stopped in after a hike with our 3 boys. We make smoothies, juices and açaí bowls at home often. We aren't ones to frequent jamba because the quality and thought we try this place. We were not disappointed they do not use ice, and they are using quality ingredients for the smoothies and bowls. You can tell they are "meaty" smoothies packed with fruits and veggies. We did a peanut butter dream smoothie, and my hubby did the bowl. We did two additional smoothies. My kids loved it! My hubby is usually one that's hard to get full on a smoothie, but he couldn't even finish his peanut butter dream bowl because it was that filling! Even though you have to "wait" for your items it's way well worth it for the quality you are getting! The place is decorated nicely, and has relaxing and inviting music playing. We will definitely stop in while in the area! read more

This is probably the best acai bowl place I've been to! Super friendly and fast service. I really appreciate that they have their own app so I can place my order in advance. You can also earn rewards on their app! The wait time to create your bowl is about 10-15 minutes. I ordered the Islander bowl (twice because it was so good) and the acai is the perfect sweetness and all the fruit was fresh. I really love the granola they use as well.

When I picked up the drink and lightly shook it, the lid/seal had not been sealed properly, causing the drink to splatter all over my clothes, feet, and my daughter. What made the situation even worse was how your employees handled it. Nobody made any effort to help clean up the mess or assist us. I had to repeatedly ask just to get a towel, and when one was finally brought over, the employee simply handed it to me instead of helping in any way. When I asked why the seal wasn't secured properly, I was told that the machine has been having issues sealing drinks correctly. That is not the customer's problem. If your equipment is malfunctioning, products should not be handed out in that condition. Customers expect their orders to be prepared correctly and safely. More importantly, employees should be trained on how to properly handle situations like this -- by helping the customer, showing concern, and taking accountability. This was an extremely disappointing experience, and based on how this situation was handled, I will not be returning to this location. I would not recommend this store to others.

Choose your flavor of ice cream plus a crumbled candy, cookie, or perhaps just a syrup to mix in. They smash it together on a cold stone (hence the name of the place) and present the delicious mix into your anxious hands to enjoy. This location is at the Foothill Ranch Food Festival (Food Court), on a far end where at one time a Nestle's cookie shop resided. It was a hot day and I was on my way to a nearby store when I spotted their sign and thought it was just what I needed. The young women working here were very efficient, cheerful, and interacted with customers in a friendly manner. I looked over the ice cream and mix-in choices and decided on a medium sized ('Love It") scoop of coffee ice cream with crumbled Heath Bar mixed in. Yes, the Heath Bar still exists; there is a cult of us that still like it. I watched as the spatulas slapped the ice cream mercilessly, combining the Heath Bar crumbles thoroughly within it. It was done in a couple minutes and I was out the door. There is no indoor seating but the food court has a lot of outdoor seating, most of it shaded. I sat and enjoyed the light, sweet flavor of the coffee ice cream and sweet toffee/chocolate crumbles mixed within. I prefer a deeper flavor of coffee ice cream but this was certainly still a delicious treat. Until recently the folks in Foothill Ranch only had a B&R for their ice cream so this is a welcome addition to the community.

I ordered a small bowl with half coconut and half matcha, and really enjoyed how smooth and creamy the sorbet acai was. It had a natural, slightly earthy flavor that didn't taste overly sweet or artificial, which I appreciated. The matcha and coconut combination worked really well together and made the bowl feel balanced and refreshing. For toppings, I added coconut crunch granola, chia pudding, bananas, pineapple, and shredded coconut flakes. The mix of textures and flavors made each bite enjoyable,light, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy. It was filling in a way that felt nutrient dense, and I stayed energized for hours afterward without feeling sluggish. The environment was also very clean and well kept, with a fresh, pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and patient, which made the experience even better. One thing to note is that they have gone cashless at all locations, so be prepared to pay by card or mobile payment. Overall, this was a simple but well balanced post workout meal that felt both refreshing and nourishing. I would definitely come back for this again.

The thought and creativity that go into everything here is just incredible! It's the only açaí place I trust. No ice, no watered-down smoothies, bowls juices and shots--just powerful, rich, nutrient-packed blends that leave me feeling amazing every single time! If you care about what you put into your body, this place is next-level! No shortcuts, no fillers and no cutting corners. You will feel full after one smoothie here! It's essentially a health & wellness focused meal replacements made with exotic superfoods and combinations. The prices here are low for the premium offerings which are far and beyond superior to what other açaí places offer, and they are still fully plant-based and gluten-free. Like anywhere else they get random rushes which is why I order from the app. I get points and it's almost always ready when I get there but I don't mind waiting while the Bowlista's craft my order to perfection, always with care and intention. It's nice to relax in there with the exotic house music and rainforest vibe. There truly is no place like it. Love you Bowlista!!! read more

This place is a gem. Everything feels elevated, from the food to the hospitality to the overall vibe you just do not get at big chains. I was there when a disruptive family tried to harass the owner and turn people against the business during a busy moment. It felt deliberately cruel, attention-seeking and classless, especially in a place that puts so much love into every order. What was beautiful to see was that the owner stayed grounded, graceful and unwilling to let toxic behavior control the space. This is clearly not some soulless chain chasing a quick buck. It's a business intentionally built on passion, health, high-standards and genuine care for the community, and good customers absolutely feel the difference with how much more this place gives back. It's so heartfelt and special. read more

I had the best experience at this açaí bowl spot! The staff is incredibly friendly--the staff greeted me with a smile and genuinely made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. You can tell they really care about their customers. The açaí bowls themselves are on another level. Everything tasted so fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. You can really tell the ingredients are high-quality, and the flavors were amazing. It's easily one of the freshest and most delicious bowls I've ever had. On top of that, the store is absolutely beautiful. It's clean, bright, and thoughtfully decorated--such a relaxing and inviting place to enjoy a treat. You can tell they've put so much love into creating a great atmosphere. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be coming back again and again. read more

Bowlista is an absolute gem in Lake Forest! I'm so glad I found this spot because otherwise, I'd have to drive all the way to Newport Beach for a menu of this quality. Their commitment to high-quality ingredients really stands out, and you can taste the difference in everything they serve. I'm especially hooked on the Banana Nut Bread Overnight Oats--it's the perfect balance of flavor and texture--and the Popeye Punch Smoothie is a must-try if you want something refreshing and nutritious. The whole experience here is top-notch, and I have to give a special shoutout to Larse for always making my visits even better. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Stopped by with some friends for Acai Bowls. The bowls were packed and presented really well with honey, nuts and berries. A great value, compared to other places. We talked to the owner and he gave us some samples of the juice. Very nice and hospitable people. We all told him that we highly recommend Bowlista superfood Café for Acai Bowls, smoothies, fresh juice and shots. He also mentioned that hopefully they will add salads and wraps to the menu. Great spot, you will love what they serve. Enjoy! read more

Bowlista is the place I've been searching for all my life! Everything is gourmet and hand-crafted on demand with an extensive selection of boosts, which nobody else around has. The people are also very kind and generous when topping the bowls and sampling things. Everything from their freshly made products to the rainforest decor of the place is a rejuvenating experience. I feel so good to support a small business that supports my healthy lifestyle. It's a win win and I love it! read more
