Dropped in for a protein smoothies got the fit Elvis with 1 or 2 substitutions. The staff was friendly and made it quickly. When I got there they had just run out of peanut butter for the smoothie but offered a good substitution. Looking around the space was clean and well maintained.. so I assume thats a reflection of their practice around "food hygiene". Smoothie was delicious and filling. Def recommend. read more

I'm kind of obsessed with this place! They have açaí in soft-serve machines which just takes your açaí bowls to the next level. Selection for toppings and mix-ins is varied, so you can get really creative and build your own but the signature combinations all seem really great as well. Do yourself a favor and ask for coconut oil drizzled over the bowl, it's to die for! I also love to ask for it blended into my smoothies! There are a few options for seating inside and outside. It's a pleasant, cute little spot. Staff is great. They have a lot of orders to prepare so just give them a moment and your patience will be rewarded with deliciousness. read more

Ernie's Acai - my BYO Smoothie: açaí purée, blueberries, cashew milk, cashew butter, and coconut oil mixed-in - Acai Bowls Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Great food, good beer and nice bar. Excellent service! I'm what they call a "regular ".

Deliciously Healthy?!? Why Yes! My daughter had a hankering for Ernie's as she stated they are the best around. So we went for a little father-daughter adventure so i could judge for myself. I went in pretty much blind as this was my first venture into Acai Bowl land. Located in Coral Gables near Merrick Park, parking was mostly on the street. I heard it can be challenging but for when we went which was around 6pm on a Friday, it wasn't too bad. Ernie's has seating both inside and out. We opted to stay cool and go inside. They have a simple yet complete menu full of topping options. You can choose from preset bowls or build your own. My daughter went with The Automatic and I chose The Machine. Both were delicious. The acai was like eating soft serve ice cream and the fruit toppings were not only super fresh but the drizzled honey on top made the fruit flavor pop even more. And the granola added a nice texture to the bowl. Service was quick and place was very clean. Overall Ernie's was great experience especially as a first timer to acai bowls. I would definitely come back to try more things on their menu. read more

The Bowls at Ernie's taste like decadent treats, but happen to be chock full of wholesome goodness. I tried La Diabla full of antioxidants with its sweet and tart Goji berries and raspberries. The bit of granola adds a delightful crunch with each delicious bite. If you're thirsty, try an iced coffee. It's the perfect pick-me-up. All the bowls are made fresh to order and they have convenient counter service. Come and try one of their bowls. You won't regret it! read more

I LOVEEEEEE THEIR AÇAI! The bowls are my go-to when I want something refreshing for lunch rather than heavy. They have good service and I love all of the variety that they have! I would love to see more base flavors soon but the classic is just to die for! read more

It was empty when I got there which was weird. bc this was soo good! Pretty pricey but this was huge so it served as 2 different meals. I got choc covered dip which contains coconut oil. But no one offers that I had to try! AMAZING! wish I lived near one. read more

If i could give 0 or even negative stars i would. I love the food. But lately the service and vibes are not enough anymore. I also was informed how management has been towards their employees. Firing employees which is the only reason why i would always come. They knew who i was and know my order. I asked to speak to andrew but "he wasn't available ". If you're looking for good açaí, find a place that also treats their employees with respect. read more

I love this place it's my favorite açaí bowl. I always get the chocolisto and love it. Today when I got it I noticed the coconut oil was not in it. I love how it hardens on the bottom. I went back in to ask if he put it in. He said he did but I know it wasn't added. He added it then. It was not the same bowl I usually get. I'm disappointed and not going back read more

How have I not written a review for Ernie's yet? The açaí bowls from here have become an addiction. It had been several years since I even thought about ordering an açaí bowl from anywhere because in my mind, they were a trendy food of the past. But one day, as I finished up a barre class in the area, I craved something fresh and sweet. Alas, Ernie's had just opened so I decided to try it out. Depending on the time of day, Ernie's will either be slow or very busy. During the week, as the local high-school gets out of class, Ernie's is bumpin' with teenage gossip and hormones. Still, if it's the only time you can make it, I wouldn't pass just because of this detail. The açaí itself is special--with no added sugar and a texture akin to actual ice cream or sorbet, I love love love that it holds up even on the hottest Miami day (hey, that rhymed!). The toppings are what make this sweet as the açaí itself isn't. I can't seem to get away from ordering "El Clasico" and the picture in my review was taken on a rare day where I wanted my bowl to be a little more indulgent with strawberries and Nutella. The service is solid--your order is taken politely, made quickly, and that is that. No muss, no fuss. I've even overheard the staff joking with each-other about who makes a better bowl--I found this charming that they took such pride in making these bowls! All in all, you MUST try Ernie's. I've already gotten several friends just as addicted as I. read more

Ernie's Acai - El Clasico with strawberries and Nutella - Acai Bowls Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I was here last saturday, service was great and food was delicious. However I don't know if it was one of the owner's or the worker's kids, but they were being extremely obnoxious and completely ruined my mood and ambiance. They kept flicking the lights, which by the way, control the whole store, and would stick their hands in the tip jars. This is completely unprofessional and I'm appalled that they allowed this. read more

Love this place! Delicious bowls, great service and relaxed ambiance. What else can I say?!

Yummy!! Amazingly good açaí bowls and good smoothie. The store and nice and clean with friendly service . read more

*** 4.5 stars *** Loved my Acai bowl from Ernie's! I had three different Acai bowls while in town, and this was by far my favorite. There was a very generous amount of high quality fruit and I liked that the Acai was served frozen yogurt style. A very large serving size that justifies the price. Big fan! read more

I was craving something refreshing and sweet! After stumbling upon Ernie's I decided to try it out. The place was empty and we were served quickly. I decide to go with the "Automatic!' Added blueberries and bee pollen, it was chef's kiss! I love the way they served the acai, frozen yogurt style and I found that unlike other places, the açaí didn't melt super fast, making it enjoyable and fresh for a while. The fruits were VERY fresh and you can tell they had been cut right then and there. I will definitely be back here when I'm in the area. read more

Just had my second bowl from Ernie's and can officially say it's my FAVOURITE spot for açaí bows in Miami. SOOOOO GOOD! So much flavour & so many textures. Had the Tropicalista this time which comes topped with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, toasted coconut, almond butter drizzle, granola & coconut oil. Never would have thought to add coconut oil to a bowl but will now! It mixed into the granola & froze to create this incredible "brittle" of sorts that you would get sporadic surprise bites of. I was obsessed. Highly recommend this spot & looking forward to working my way thru the menu! read more

Purple Reign is the best!!!! Delicious! Totally worth every penny. Service is excellent too!

Ernie's was exactly what I needed after a workout. It was fast service and very yummy. I liked my experience more than the first, where I wasn't even served because they said they were too busy with Uber eats orders and had to close early. I understand that they were understaffed so I didn't say anything. If I'm ever in the area again I'll come back, I love a good Acai bowl place. read more

I like this açai a lot. My only thing is that sometimes the workers forget to add subsitutions to the order when you ask for them which isn't a dealbreaker but it is a little annoying read more

Yummy and delicious Açaí bowl. Super fresh ingredients. Quick service. My only beef with the place is that the prices listed in the menu were cheaper than what I was charged. I didn't notice until I was handed my bowl and there were three people in line. I didn't feel like arguing over 50 cents at that point. Price is already steep but it's fresh foods in the gables so I wasn't surprised. Recommend giving it a try for sure! read more

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! Delicious açaí. Smooth and creamy. Clean and cool inside the store. Generous toppings!

Delicious acai bowls that are made with love and come in different sizes depending on the mood you're in. I had el clasico in regular size and it was the perfect Saturday morning treat. You might want to call in your order because it's located right outside of Merrick park and the street parking can be tough. I honestly left my car on the street with hazards on. read more

Loved this place!! Everything tasted super yummy and fresh. The prices are great for what you get. I would definitely come back. One suggestion I have though is to also sell pitaya soft serve read more

What an absolute delight! Ernie's Acai is delicious and so refreshing. I'm a huge fan! It is even great for delivery. I have only ordered it via delivery and each time it has arrived completely intact. Perfect for an afternoon pick me up. The acai soft serve is so tasty unlike so many other bland options I've experienced. Their menu offers a great variety of toppings and the serving size is perfect. It's not too small and not too big. I look forward to visiting in person soon. read more

Excellent !!! Great flavors and the service and recomendaciones from GIANNA were Great. ! My new favorite place

Good newer açaí spot in Merrick! The açaí presentation is cute, almost like soft serve ice cream and a sweet, hardened coconut oil-dipped exterior to keep its shape in the hot weather. I was intrigued by the topping of lemon zest and it did not disappoint! It added a balance of flavor and paired well with the other fruit toppings. The base was pretty standard and had a slightly smoother texture than usual açaí shops, a positive thing. Pricing isn't too bad for the size and variety of bowls. Great healthy breakfast in the area! read more

The BEST Acai bowl in Miami. The ingredients are fresh and the Acai is smooth. The granola is made to perfection.

Ordered a large Açaí and my bowl was filled with granola, a scoop of açaí in the center, more granola and fruits on top. You couldn't even see the açaí hence why I transferred it to a bowl to make sure it had açaí. I wanted açaí not granola bowl. read more

Tried this acai at an event some time ago. I'm an acai addict! Drove from north Miami to have this delicious acai. It's so good . The flavor is perfect , and the prices are reasonable considering so many places charge $20 for an acai bowl these days. It's ridiculous. Please open in North Beach read more

Ernie's Acai - Choco listo bowl and gypsy love! - Acai Bowls Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I'm hooked. The açaí is delish. It's the best I have found in the area. It's soft serve with all the ingredients and keeps the texture throughout the bowl. I'm in love with this place. I order it online and pick it up curbside which saves so much time in the morning. I found myself going almost everyday until they changed their hours during the holidays. It's been hard finding a place that serves it like them. Looking forward to start getting it again in the morning. read more

We are constantly getting açaí bowls because our very picky 6 year old loves them. This place is by far the best one in town. It's so nice how it's served in the form of soft serve so it doesn't get all goopy and melts in minutes like the others. LOVE LOVE LOVE, highly recommend. read more

I heard about this place from instagram, so I decided to check it out! Very easy to find, the employees were nice, enough seating. It wasn't busy when we got there so it was quiet. Although, people did start coming in and ordering as I ate. They have a variety of Acai bowls you can pick from and smoothies too. I got The Machine Acai bowl. It was topped with strawberries, kiwi, mango, honey, granola and I added peanut butter, oh man it was delicious!! The acai was perfect and it didn't melt quick. I do wish there was a little bit more of granola on top (it's that really crunchy, yummy granola!) they have three sizes, I got a small but next time I'll do a medium. Definitely coming back to try their other Acai combinations, and definitely recommend it!! read more
