So happy that South Block finally opened in Springfield. One of the best parts about this location…read moreis that there are ample parking spaces, so finding a spot is never a problem! The store is always clean and the staff is consistently friendly. I have recently started ordering online for pickup, and the process is seamless. I usually order their Warrior Bowl. The regular size is actually plenty for my husband and me to share! The fruit is always fresh and the quality is top tier. Sometimes, I add nutella, which perfectly satisfies my sweet tooth!

Of course it's very close to where cars pass by, but since it's near behind the building, that shouldn't be much of an issue. FOOD: I got myself the green smoothie (no protein) -- pineapple juice, kale, spinach, ginger, mango, bananas. It was THICK!!!! it was very tasty and I was happy and surprised to see there were little pieces of mango left at the bottom. SERVICE: No complaints ! It wasn't busy so the order came quick.

My cousin and I couldn't decide what to get so we opted for sweet and savory and got both an acai bowl and breakfast sandwich. We got the Brazillian bowl in medium size and the chipotle chicken flatbread to share. Both were the perfect size and had ample amount of toppings. Ingredients used are very fresh. What I like about this place compared to other acai bowl spots i've tried is that they have a lot more toppings in their pre-set menu. They are a little more generous on the fruit. The chipotle chicken flatbread was a good choice and we asked if they could cut it in half to Seating is plenty and it looks like a very popular spot among people who walk by in Fairfax.

They offer a number of breakfast options, including egg based, as well as variations on their liege waffle which now includes a chocolate chip variety. The açaí bowls are a delicious, healthy option or you can get your bowl on your waffle if you're feeling a little extra. Service is fast and friendly and you can order in advance to pick up. Ambiance is bright and cheerful with a surfer vibe. It's meant to be take away, so there's limited seating inside. If you're looking for a delicious and healthier alternative to the usual fast food places, you should definitely check out So Bol!

I usually visit one of their other locations in Falls Church and this location is definitely a lot bigger. Inside is very clean and quiet. On a weekday around 11am we were the only customers dining in. Ordering is convenient at their self service kiosk. The bowl I usually get is the Warrior Nutella Bowl. Also pictured is my cousin eating the Warrior bowl in a mini size which I realized after I got my order that I should've gotten mine in a mini because the regular size is plenty! They are very generous with their toppings but I do have to say that on this visit the berries were on the sour side and while there were a lot of toppings we both couldn't finish our bowls.

The consistency reminded me more of a smoothie than that thick, scoopable texture I usually go for. It's not necessarily bad--just not what I expected. Anyway, just my two cents. Everyone's taste is different, so if you love it, I get it! It's super chill, and there's plenty of space to enjoy yourself!

I ordered a vegetarian crepe, and my friend got an Oreo crepe. Both were decent, but honestly pretty underwhelming. The flavors were fine, just not memorable, and definitely not something I'd go out of my way to get again. I also tried a vanilla chai latte, which was the same story--good, but nothing special. The biggest downside for me was the value. I ended up spending around $17, and it just didn't feel worth it. Between the portion size and the overall taste, it felt like something I could've easily made at home for a fraction of the price. Service was okay. The woman working there had a more straightforward, no-frills personality--not particularly warm or welcoming, but not rude either. Just very to-the-point. The space itself is also pretty small, with limited seating. It's probably best suited for quick stops or takeout rather than sitting and hanging out for a while. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't give me a strong reason to come back. If you're nearby and curious, it might be worth trying once--but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
