    Açaí bowls and Topping I could select
    Elegido C.

    Número Uno; Excellent Customer Service Dos; Atmosphere is peaceful and has good Vibes Tres: Açaí was Delicioso and had many toppings and bases to select from Worth a try with great prices and a place you should definitely Açaí

    Came here after a workout class and was craving something healthy. The inside is cute and simple. It was relatively easy to read the menu. I got the 12oz bowl with açaí, pitaya, and mango. You can choose as many bases as you want. Compared to other açaí places I've tried, I felt like the bases, especially the mango and pitaya, were a bit icier as opposed to creamier consistencies. It was almost as if they've been in the freezer longer. However, the flavor was still good. What I really loved about this place though was the fact that they overfill your cup. Even though I ordered the smallest size, they filled it to the brim with the bases and dry toppings and then they put the fruits in a separate cup. It was so much easier to dig through my cup and not fearing something would drop. The service was good as well! I think this place is an affordable option for açaí and you definitely get a lot of bang for your buck :)

    One of my top-tier Acai places! The Acai is very good and they have a ton of options for toppings with as much toppings as you'd like. Service was okay as there was only 1 worker but nonetheless the wait wasn't very long at all. There's seating inside with ample space. I definitely would be coming back again as I love how they make it overflowing the bowl.

    Great service

    Dear Açaí, I jus wanna take a moment... a lil breath... and express how deeply, profoundly, celestially obsessed I am with you. Your açaí bowls? Smooth like a melody. The fruits are always fresh. The granola adds that perfect crunch. The vibe inside is gentle, cool, and easy. Clean space, calm energy. And your staff? Sweet, attentive, and present. So, thank you, truly. I'll be back... again and again... With love, A very grateful (and happily fed) admirer

    Amazing acai bowl place! It was recommended to me for being very generous with toppings, and I finally got to experience it for myself. I got a 12 oz ($11) and the value was amazing. I got to sample the different bases first and pick as many as I wanted. I picked Acai, blue pineapple and matcha. Then I added matcha pudding and pumpkin flax granola and almost all of their fruits. I love adding all the seeds (hemp, chia, flax), bee pollen and gogi berries and then cashew butter on top. There were so many toppings that she gave me a separate cup just for toppings. I wasn't able to finish it all in one sitting! I also got a ginger shot ($3), which was BOGO! It was very concentrated and potent, which was great. There were also cookies and banana bread ($2 per slice, $7 per loaf) for sale by the cashier. Everything is very reasonably priced - I'll definitely get some bread next time! Overall, the bases are on the sweeter side so it helps to balance them with the walnut, pumpkin seeds, nut butter and fruits. I liked the matcha base and matcha pudding the best. Next time I'll try the coconut based and passion fruit to see how sweet they are. I liked all the fruits except the pineapples. I was impressed that they also had dried mulberries, which were very sweet, so just a few is good. Can't wait to bring my son here!

    MY NEW FAVORITE ACAI PLACE!!! I could eat acai bowls everyday and Dear Acai is my new favorite place! They have so many toppings and bases that I've never gotten at other places! My favorite for bases were acai and mango mix. It was so incredibly good I can't to be back to get more. Pricing is relatively affordable!

    Yummy bases, lots of topping options, and they overflow the cup! The coconut base and acai combo is one of my favorites!! The cashier was super sweet to me and my friend. I need to go back!!

    I was very happy to come here. Generally makes me nervous to try new acai places because so many are stingy on ingredients, but Dear Acai is not! I ordered a custom bowl on DoorDash for pickup and I was so surprised when I was handed an overflowing order - it was delicious. All of the ingredients tasted fresh, including the granola, and they were generous with the almond butter topping. The photo shown is the medium size and it is more than enough for they pack it. The shop is cute with seating available and a large selection of ingredients to choose from. I will definitely come again to try other options.

    Right: Ube & Passionfruit Left: Passionfruit & Açaí

    I was really surprised at this place - the portions are huge and worth the money! Virginia was so sweet at let me sample all of the bases - everything is so fresh too. Really great & clean store!

    Awesome place to get acai with a great atmosphere and quality options. Unfortunately, the location closed earlier than expected during the visit, and there was only a sign posted regarding the early closure. It was a little disappointing after making the trip, but the discount offered was appreciated. Overall, still a good spot and hopeful for a better experience next time.

    A love letter to Dear Açaí Dear Açaí, oh how I love thee All the bases to choose With all the toppings you can't loose Your bowls are perfection You are now my new obsession PS: come build one in Vegas! BEST AÇAÍ BOWL I've ever had! I love how you can choose multiple bases and mix match them. All the toppings you want and a choice of drizzle. The fruit is so fresh and delicious. The bases are all sooo good! They are all creamy and smooth and perfectly sweet! I'm serially obsessing! All the girls were very nice. There are places to sit and enjoy too! Nice atmosphere. I would live here if I could.

What I ordered: Coco Pandan Mousse DESSERT: 8/10 I loved how light my mousse was. Most importantly, it actually tasted like pandan! I was worried the pandan flavor was going to be mid and subtle, but each bite had a great pandan flavor. I had a bit of a drive back to my hotel, so I was advised to order mine frozen. I'm glad I took the staff member's advice because by the time I got to my hotel and finished dinner, it had thawed out perfectly. It was still cold-ish, room temp in the best way possible. SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!

Personally, I'm not a fan of the water chestnuts but they can always take it out for you. I also love the soy pudding which is both delicate and flavorful (reminds me of a really good douhua).

Their buns is also good, quick and convenient way to buy for small picnics.

The owner clearly holds this location to a high standard, especially compared to the Bolsa locations. I haven't ordered a single item that wasn't fresh, although it may help that I usually stop by right when they open. What really stands out is how much the staff cares about the customer experience. They're friendly, work efficiently, and get your food out quickly so you can get on with your day. The prices are fair, especially considering inflation as of July 2026. My usual order is four bánh bao and a chè for a snack, which comes to about $17.95. This location is also very convenient if you're heading northbound on Brookhurst, which is my usual route to work. Parking can be a little tricky, but customers are in and out pretty quickly, so it's usually not a problem. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. Their bánh mì heo quay is also really good! My only suggestion would be to add a little more pickled carrot and daikon to the sandwiches. Other than that, this place is an easy 5 stars.
