They stock a wide range of items you simply won't find in other grocery stores in the DC area, which makes it a go to if you're looking for specialty ingredients. The prepared food is excellent and tastes truly authentic. It's clear they take pride in doing things the right way. From what I've seen and heard, it's highly regarded by the many Brazilians in the local community, which says a lot. If you want the real flavors of Brazil, you've found it!

I'm a person who likes peanut butter but if you're not into it so much this may not be for you. The peanut butter is thick!

Service was great. We were waited on right away and the young lady explained different choices for smoothies. I decided to go with the Tropical Smoothie. My granddaughter ordered the Tropical Bowl. She was really excited that they have gluten free granola. We sat down and I loved the cute decor. There were really cute posters and warm woods. A fun fruit mural covers the front wall, as you walk in the door. My smoothie was fruity and delicious. It was so large, I didn't think I would finish it, but I did. My granddaughter loved her bowl and she even scraped the bottom of the bowl,for any leftover bits. That should tell you how good it was. I took off one star because prices are high. But, given the wholesome ingredients, great service, and gluten free options...I think this well worth it. As, one of the cute t-shirts says, " I really regret eating healthy today, said no one ever! " I agree.

Today was the last day we could order birthday cake smoothies in honor of South Block's 15th…read morebirthday, so of course I had to stop in and get one! And because one is never enough, I bought two--one to enjoy today and one to freeze for tomorrow. South Block always has such a casual but vibrant atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The smoothies are always delicious, and my favorite bowl is the Peanut Butter Blast with the Nutella topping. The service is consistently great, the food is delicious, and I love having healthy options that make you feel good. But one of my favorite things about South Block is the positive, community-minded energy. Amir and the entire South Block team are all about community, having fun, and making people feel welcome. You can really feel that when you walk in. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an even better vibe. Happy 15th birthday, South Block!

After parking at a garage in Pike & Rose, we stopped by South Block to quench my thirst. I have a South Block in my neighborhood and find it overpriced, but I really did need to go. STRAWBERRY MINI - 6.49 I didn't need a whole lot, so I went with the 12 oz. kid size smoothie. This contains guava juice, strawberry, and bananas, which is much less complex than the regular sized 16 oz. adult smoothies. Overall, pretty refreshing and enjoyable. It's not Orange Fanta, but it did the job. Spacious interior but not a whole lot of seating. Definitely more of a grab-and-go while walking around Pike & Rose.

Not too sweet and tasted more like a custard creme than egg. I couldn't stop drinking it even though I could feel the caffeine coursing through me. They have so many fun drink options, acai bowls, and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner even said bye to us on our way out! Fun fact: Currently posting this at 2:30 am, about 11 hours after I got my coffee. Vietnamese coffee is no joke.

It has become one of my favorites. You select the size (small or large) and the quantity. After paying, I got an alert that my order was received and being worked on and it gave an estimate, but in the same message, it said I would be informed when my order was ready. Well, that last message never came. I still made my way to the store and decided to give them a few minutes because I thought that maybe since they were busy, they probably had not made my drink yet. Orders came and went and still no alert to me. It was then I decided to check with an employee to see if they had my order. It took them a minute, but then they went in what looked like a cooler or fridge and pulled out my drink. I guess they got so busy, they forgot to inform me on the app that my drink was ready to be picked up. In future, I will only order in person as it seemed much quicker to do it that way instead.

I get it. It's a smoothie bowl. But I have seen some companies do it well enough where it's not melted 5 minutes after you receive it. They should invest in fixing this. 3. I think the pineapple was canned.. it was giving Dole... Like it was sitting in juice somewhere. Not a fan. Fresh pineapple please! I'll make sure to ask next time in case I'm wrong. Strawberries were great! Mango was good. I loved the crunch of the granola but it was too sweet. The price point was good. I appreciated the bowl being big enough for me to feel like I got a great amount but it wasn't so full I couldn't get to the bottom. I would come back to try their other flavors and give it a second chance but I'm not pressed.

Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Im sorry but the service and portion sizes have gone way down at this location. I've been coming to…read morethis place since it first opened over a decade ago. Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,
