Acai Alaska is located in a small trailer/food truck that sits atop a hill on the corner of Brandon St. and Old Seward Highway directly across from Southside Grill. There are new owners who have taken over from the original who operated at a strip mall off of Lake Otis and Dowling several years ago. The employees are super friendly and easy to converse with. The menu hasn't changed much although some of the food items like Musubi and almost all of the sandwich selections except the Grilled Cheese and Grilled Cheese with Ham are no longer available. There is a drive-thru window on one side where you can place your order. I ordered the Mauna Kea Bowl (topped with bananas, blueberries, strawberries, macadamia nuts, walnuts, chocolate-covered almonds, granola with raisins, and coconut shavings) on the Nutty Heaven base (Acai berries, bananas, strawberries, and peanut butter). The ingredients were fresh, filling, and made to order so expect to wait several minutes if there are a line of cars. However, it is worth the wait and easily a delicious healthy alternative for lunch and not just a snack. Other items on the menu include the Tiger Shark (blackberries, kiwi, raspberries, walnuts, almonds, goji berries, bee pollen, chia, and a variety of seeds that includes pumpkin, sunflower, flax, and hemp seeds), the Bonsai (kiwi, chocolate-covered Acai/blueberry, macadamia nuts, and spirulina) with a unique color combination once the ingredients are blended together, the Sleeping Lady Smoothie (Acai blend topped with mango and shredded coconut), and the Fireweed Smoothie (Acai blend topped with acerola and goji berries). Punch cards are offered for return visits. Buy nine bowls, get the tenth one for free. This place is a good option for those who want a healthier meal or a post-workout smoothie that offers a mix of healthy carbs and protein.

Service was quick & friendly. The trailer has one window for ordering & another for pick up. It truly was starting to feel like summer until our little mid March snow dump, but these açaí bowls will help keep your sunny spirits up. With 3 bases & 10 signature bowls to choose from there's certainly something for everyone! They also have smoothies & a cafe menu available as well. The blends are all dairy free & there's no added sugars. On this visit I ordered a 16oz MOFO bowl (blackberries, kiwi, mango, raspberries, strawberries, chocolate covered açaí & blueberries, granola with raisins & almonds, coconut shavings & I added a honey drizzle) with the original açaí blend. For my son I got the 16 oz Hawaiian blend smoothie. I love these smoothies for kids because all the sugar comes from the fruit. Go check this trailer out to get yourself a nice healthy treat!

The family that owns and operates this gem is Greek and they are not only amazing cooks, but they care about their community!! I have been there eating several times this winter and obviously homeless people would come to the door and be given water, hot soup, half a sandwich, etc. that just made me love this place more. Now to the food. First of all I had the meatball sub which was not only delicious but super filling. The meat was very well seasoned, and the fresh basil just made the marinara pop even more, add the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese and you've got something special. The homemade bread puts this thing into overdrive! Crispy on the outside, light, delicate but not falling apart and heavy enough to hold together all that deliciousness without being filling like you just ate a large pizza. Now to the ridiculous tomato basil soup. I love the clam chowder but the tomato basil is my favorite. Savory, full of flavor, smooth, creamy and not greasy. This in my opinion is the perfect pairing to the meatball sub. You're welcome! The customer service here is amazing too just like the owners and the food. You will always be greeted by a smiling face, and treated like family. You will not regret stopping here. I've eaten the Meatball sub, The Philly, the lasagna and The Gyro ( lamb and chicken) all have been 10 out of 10. The ambiance is like a neighborhood dinner with a small dining room. You will love it!

I ordered the BLT and had the chicken lemon soup The soup was very lemony and salty but I ate the whole bowl it was pretty good. The BLT had too much lettuce on it and a couple pieces of bacon but it was your standard white bread-mayo- bacon-lettuce-tomato. Prices not bad when the sandwiches come with soup or salad. Nice quaint family run local restaurant. I would try the Alfredo next time assuming they make the sauce in house?

I made my own bowl without protein and when you choose no protein they give you a little sad face ":(" but still tastes great without I think. I like the way the flavors blend together with the different textures. Next time I'll probably order double crunchy onions because they're too tasty. The portion sizes are also huge. Really I think I could split one poke bowl with my husband but sadly he's not a poke fan. I did get a strawberry flavored Swiss roll which truly wasn't all that. It had the airiest lightest texture but lacked that natural strawberry taste. It wasn't bad by any means but was reminiscent of strawberry Nesquik. So overall I left satisfied. Had a relaxing meal and got some work done over lunch.

Flavors were clean and balanced, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. I also tried the 16oz Red Bean Matcha--it was smooth, lightly sweet, and paired perfectly with the bowl. The space gives me Hawaii poke spot vibes--spacious, clean, and organized. The two-floor layout has plenty of seating, plus private rooms for meetings or small gatherings, which is a nice bonus. Service was fast and friendly, making the grab-and-go experience seamless and enjoyable. Overall, a solid Midtown spot that's definitely worth checking out.

I expected a 30 minute wait at the very least, due to the amount of people ahead of us, however we were offered to sit at the bar, and we took that offer. There are 4 seats, and none were occupied. The space is bright, clean, modern, and airy, freshly redecorated and very pleasant. We didn't realise that Borealis is an extension/offshoot of Harley's Old Thyme Cafe, but it becomes apparent when you see the menu, or one of the coffee mugs that display the Harley's logo. It has a much more modern feel than Harley's however. The decor and seating are beautiful, the chairs are padded and comfy. Black metal silverware. I ordered the Borealis Benedict with home fries and an orange juice, husband got the Croissant Benedict with hash browns and a berry lemonade. My only dislike of this entire experience was that there were ice cubes in my orange juice. Orange juice is better without ice - period, even if you're American. No one keeps oranges in the fridge, as the flavour of them is best at room temperature, and as such ice cubes don't enhance the flavour of orange juice. So I took them out. I haven't marked any stars down for it though because the rest of this experience was divine. My Borealis Benedict had bacon, Canadian bacon, chorizo, poached egg, hollandaise. This was a perfectly poached egg, with beautiful yellow yolk self-saucing the entirety of the meats. The bacon was thick and flavourful but for me, the star was the chorizo, surprising, in that I don't normally like chorizo. This chorizo was different - very savoury in its lead in, and then with a kick of spice and heat. And it was presented as crumbles on the muffin. Really delicious. The home fries were also perfect. Beautifully caramelized and seasoned, the pickled onions added a sharp tangy kick, and the avocado is always creamy green goodness. I could find no fault with this dish. Husband was also raving about his croissant Benedict, he commented on the tasty bacon, and was happy with how crispy the hash browns were. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, I saw one young lady cleaning and sanitizing very thoroughly around the coffee machine. I would recommend this place 100%, for breakfast brunch or lunch, and will definitely be returning, because the menu has many offerings I want to try.

Food is prepared in a timely manner and I ordered for pick up through the app tonight! Very satisfied with the food since I was in a rush and I didn't want the drive-thru greasiness.

It's not possible to get the poke without onions, or to get just carrots without cabbage (since it's a mix). And the rice didn't taste seasoned at all. The sauce was a highlight, but more would have been better. I also think they should just stick with salmon/tuna poke and eliminate the Krab- it's on the low end of imitation crab that I've eaten. Would not return.
