    Açaí Super Food Bowl - Medium (24oz)
    Jeanette V.

    Very friendly and greeted right when we walked in the door, we were able to taste the difference options for the base. I tried the tropical & Yum that was delicious. My daughter tried the coconut she loved it. I got two flavors the 24 ounce which was the açai and tropical as the base as well as so many different options. It's a must try. It was not too busy. Great location parking was easy in and out on the corner of La Sierra and Magnolia Avenue.

    The place is very nice and clean. The staff is very friendly. The açai bowl is very good. I will definitely be back. Also the price is a lot cheaper than other places.

    A very nice refreshing juice/açaí bar! When I entered I was greeted and this place is much different you can choose from different bases for the açaí bowl flavor recommend traditional and mango together! The service was amazing lots of smiles and you can tell they love what they do! It was a super clean area with examples of what to choose from. Can't forget about them allowing you to try the samples so you will love it! Great service

    I love getting acai when I'm back in california, and I wanted to try Flavor theory because of the good reviews! I got a medium bowl, with acai smoothie blend and lavender taro as bases, matcha chia seed pudding, and a bunch of different toppings (which are unlimited)! Everything was delicious, fresh, and worked well together even though it sounds very random. It also filled me up quite a bit! Next time, I think I might get just the regular acai to try it

    5 Stars - The Best Açaí Bowls! Flavor Theory blew me away! I've never been to an açaí bowl spot with so many options--it was almost overwhelming in the best way possible. Everything was incredibly fresh and perfectly sweet, and the flavors were amazing. I went over a month ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. I find myself constantly craving it! This is definitely more of a walk-in, grab-and-go kind of place, as there were only about four tables for seating. The service was great--fast, friendly, and efficient. If you're an açaí lover, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Tej is the KING of these bowls. Got the medium 24 oz. Step 1 choose your bowl size Step 2 choose your base Step 3 choose granola Step 4 choose chia pudding Step 5 choose unlimited toppings* *(That will fit in your bowl) Well I had tropical base that consist of pineapple coconut mango spirulina and lemon juice with coconut as the base and that's a sorbet and I had hemp heart granola with taro and matcha Chia pudding with strawberries kiwi pineapple blueberries and sweet milk with honey and go coconut and dates and was phenomenal.

    July 13 2025 on Sunday I was enjoying my taro until I started chewing pieces of glass and had to spit this out I order 3 times a week but not anymore after this smh..... be careful when eating from here it can be dangerous

    Hey Flavor Theory, what happened to the portions? I know times are tough but this bowl looks kinda sad
    Miyeon L.

    Hey there Flavor Theory, I know times are tough and inflation is affecting all of us, but the most recent Acai bowl was just sad, with only a little bit of Acai and the strawberries were on the brink of becoming wine. Definitely different from the Flavor Theory in its hay day when it first opened. Rather than improving over time, it has become run down and lackluster - which is too bad. This used to be THE best place to get an Acai bowl in the IE, but my most recent visit has me thinking otherwise.

    The prices are insane... $11 for a small and $17 for a large. the place was so dirty and disgusting (floor looked like it was mopped with dirty water) cutting board looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days, and the bathroom was out of order. It was not inviting. While the girl was in the middle of making our bowls, she took her phone out and looked at it. Kinda weird. I miss when Anish owned it. It's gone down hill.

    The açaí also had a weird metallic taste. Fruit was minimal can't even see it. Do not recommend.
    Krystle A.

    When I first tried this place right when it opened I use to love coming here after the gym for a healthy snack and there's literally no healthy açaí bowls around here. Over the years it's gotten worse. I know the economy and inflation sucks but the quality of this place downgraded. The açaí had a weird metallic old taste to it, I thought it was just me, but even my husband pointed out that it tasted weird. For a $13 small bowl what a waste. I prolly have to find another place now. The portion was also minimal and the fruit was super scarce, I thought they forgot about the fruit but it's hidden under all the dried condiments....cheaply portioned and cheap quality but still the same expensive price. Will not be coming back here.

    Me and my twin sister were craving smoothies so we both wanted to stop at this place . I had been before but my sister hadn't . We both got small bowls . Both of our bowls were delicious . For me the price of the bowl is worth it . For 10 dollars you get unlimited toppings and chia pudding . While at Jamba Juice you get a bowl and it only comes with a certain amount of toppings .

The…read moreladies who helped us were knowledgeable, patient, friendly, accommodating, honestly just super cool people. Sweet Latte with orange blossom and vanilla bean syrups: 5/5. I originally wanted to try just the orange blossom syrup, but the baristas suggested that vanilla bean syrup be added to tone down the potency of the orange blossom syrup while complementing it at the same time. This was a great rec since it was an enjoyable combo that didn't lose flavor after all the ice was diluted. Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5. A satisfying cookie that tasted better than it looks. I say this cuz I didn't see chocolate chips or chunks breaking through the dough, and the dough color was pretty pale, but looks can be deceiving, as this was a yummy treat. S'mores Brownie: 4/5. Super sweet and chocolatey and fudgy. Kinda sticky and messy due to the marshmallow topping and high sugar content, but they provide utensils for easy eating. Parking in the attached lot was quite small and cramped, but apparently there was additional parking behind the plaza.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

Canvas Coffee caught my eye, and I loved that it felt community-driven right from the start. It's located next door to a church, and you can tell there's an affiliation because the space is huge, open, and welcoming. Everyone inside was genuinely kind and friendly. It has that warm, community vibe that makes you feel comfortable immediately. I can imagine it being especially lively on a Sunday morning when services let out. The menu is fun and extensive. I originally considered the "Katy Perry" drink (which sounded adorable), but it's a layered drink and I wasn't in the mood for something sweet or decorative. I went with my usual: a sugar-free vanilla latte topped with salted caramel cold foam. I was only the third person in line, and my drink came out almost immediately, which I appreciated. They also had several breakfast options that looked really good. The jalapeño bagel stood out to me, and the veggie bagel sandwich looked tempting too. I just wasn't hungry enough to commit this time, but I'd definitely try one on a return visit. As for the coffee itself, it arrived piping hot, which I love. On first sip, though, it was lighter in flavor than I expected. If you prefer a blonde roast or a milder coffee profile, this might be your spot. I personally tend to gravitate toward a more medium or bold roast, so it didn't quite hit that depth I usually look for. Overall: Atmosphere - great Service - friendly and efficient Coffee strength - lighter than my preference Four stars from me. I'd come back, especially for the vibe and to give the food menu a try next time.

I decided I needed to take a detour to a coffee shop since we already kinda got lost. Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery, is located in a small and old strip mall in old town Norco. Or at least I think it is. I'm not familiar with the area. I can tell you though, that navigation had us driving through newer developments and then the old part of Norco before we finally arrived. I thought we got even more lost at first. The place was actually pretty packed inside and after having our drinks and pastries, I can totally see why. The first half of the building is the cafe where you'll be greeted with some cute and funny coffee signs. There's two large shelves full of their own coffee beans of different roasts. They have a few small tables to sit and enjoy your orders, but note it is a bit of a tight fit in there. They also have a coffee bar where some people sat in front of the baristas. Past the cafe side is the creamery. I was in a rush and didn't have a chance to take a look. What we ordered; 1) Hot Mocha Rocha with soy milk - 5/5 stars. I forgot to ask for this as half sweet, but either way, it was absolutely delicious. Rich and very flavorful. 2) Iced Mocha Rocha - 5/5 stars. Just as delicious as the hot version. 3) pistachio muffin - 3/5 stars. This muffin had a generous amount of actual pistachio baked into the muffin itself which I liked, however, the muffin had more of an artificial pistachio flavor for me. I still ate it but I wasn't in love with that one. 4) chocolate croissant - 5/5 stars. This was such a hit, we ran out right away. Everyone in our group attacked these so fast. I have to say, I am SAD that I live so far from Deep Barrel Roasters & Creamery. They have a lot of pastries, ice cream including deep fried ice cream, and beverages. I absolutely loved this place and look forward to visiting them again. Next time, I for sure will grab a dozen or more to share with the family and bring some home, and we will definitely grab some frozen treats too. Deep Barrel, is a gem. Norco, sure is lucky to have them. They are a must if you are ever in the area.
