    Island Bodega is such a cute spot! We ordered the strawberry smoothie and it was 8/10. The space is super cute and has a really relaxed vibe, so you could definitely come by, grab something, and hang out for a while. They also have açaí bowls that looked really good, although we didn't get a chance to try them this time. The workers were also really nice and welcoming. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

    Sunshine Bowl. Two build your owns.

    We came in during a hot day, and we got 3 different bowls. We got a Sunshine bowl and two "build your owns". The build your owns were so cool because I got to choose all the flavors I wanted to. My wife chose the Sunshine bowl and she enjoyed all the flavors it had. My niece did a simpler build your own which was great as well. One of the employees helped us through the build your own portion, and answered questions we had. We appreciated it because it was our first time here! The one downside is the fact that the high chairs are uneven, so my niece almost fell over. Apart from that, the tables and chairs are clean. There's also great taste in music.

    Custom Bowl so good

    I always forget about this place but it's really good and always busy. I like to customize my bowls, but they have a lot of menu items that your can simply choose off off. I like that they offer various base options beyond açaí. Overall very solid spot and love that it's close to me!

    I was craving a healthy breakfast, so my husband decided to get acai from here. We ordered via third party app. The app was very easy to place an order. It's just like ordering at the actual place. I ordered a custom & coffee. First you choose the size of your bowl, then your latte, iced or cold, and milk selection for your drink. Then you get to customizing your acai bowl. First you choose your base, then granolas, chia seed pudding, fruits, toppings, nut butters/ sweeteners, and lastly powders. Then you get to the section if you want to order/ add extras. Thry also have pre-made bowls. It shows what's in the bowl and if you want to omit or add anything. My husband got the island bowl. I would definitely try this place out again. We were very happy and satisfied.

    Literally my favorite place to get acai bowls. Been coming here for years and tried other places and this is my top favorite. I just wish they would switch the boards to "signatures", "start here", to "next step." I've been coming here since it opened and still get confused. Other wise, its great!

    First time here and I can see why the line is so long at 9:30pm! I was craving an açaí bowl and of course at 9pm all places are closed. Thank you Yelp for leading me to this little popular gem! They have a wide selection of bowls with so many ingredients to chose from. They have 3 friendly workers asking what ingredients you want, each at a different station of items, like base, fruits and dry toppings. Anything can be customized around the bowl you chose from their menu or make one of your own. The ambiance is totally chill but with only 3 tables be ready to take it to go if there's no room. They do have a lot of free standing chairs to hang around in as well. Glad I was able to satisfy my sweet tooth tonight with a healthy option. I'll be back!

    One of my favorite acai spots in Long Beach! The bowls are always fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Some of my fav topics are pumpkin seeds and almond slices for a healthy crunch (skip or go light on granola). I love kiwis and not very many acai shops offer it. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to whenever I'm craving a good acai.

    Driven by this place 100s of times and kept wanting to come by to give it a try....well today was the perfect time to finally drop by after going to Aldi.... The staff were nice and friendly the place is clean and relaxing...but I got mine to go.... I got the Island Bowl with a few modifications....and as mentioned to go.... I felt like it was pretty fresh and really good actually. I'll have to drop by again another day to get one!

    Stopped by Island Bodega and grabbed two açaí bowls and wow... didn't expect to be this impressed. Both bowls were super fresh, perfectly chilled, and not overly sweet like some places that just load it with syrup. You can actually taste the real açaí, which I appreciated. The fruit toppings were bright, ripe, and generous (not skimpy at all), and the granola had that perfect crunch without being rock hard. One bowl leaned more classic and refreshing, the other had a slightly richer, dessert vibe--both hit in their own way. Also, the presentation was clean and pretty (yes, it matters), and everything tasted like it was made with care, not rushed. You can tell they're consistent with quality.

    I really appreciated that this spot was open late at night!!! It's bright, clean, and everything tasted fresh despite it being the end of the day. I also got some free merch (I think it was after checking in on Yelp, but not sure if that promo is still going on).

    Island Bodega is still my go-to açaí bowl spot! I'm still hooked! The service is so attentive and welcoming and I love the upgrades to their seating/tables...it's so aesthetic!

    Is the Pitaya base made of pure fruit or does it have sweetener or other juice/fruit mix added?

    Hi what can be made with No sugar?

    I don't think they offer anything sugar free

    Is the granola gluten free?

    No, all of our granolas contain gluten.

    Do you do points? This place do points with CashApp I wished one of the worker had told me soon been coming here a few times already and could of earned at least 36 -45 points by now.

    on the screen it's before you pay where it says "sign up/see rewards" on the right in blue and also after the receipt option!

    Is coconut cream still offered as a base?

    I was just in there & they mentioned it runs out fast. They had another flavor sold out that day too. 😩

    Is this place authentically Brazilian?

    No, it is not

    Do they have vegan options?

    I think most of their bases are vegan and they have agave as a topping. As for the granola, asl which one has honey/egg whites etc

    What food delivery service do they work with?

    Grubhub, Doordash, Postmates, and Ubereats

We purchased 2 items and when we received and opened the bag it wasn't the one we ordered so I came to the lady and said it was not the right item then she insisted it was that Nutella something which I'm pretty sure is not the one as there's a signage that would say that product right infront of each scones. So to make it easier I pointed the right item to her and now she got a clarity that they had the wrong signage placed and she then go switched on these product labels. She immediately went to the counter and just started to transact again I guess ring in the right amount and void the first one. Again, without even letting me know but fine whatever. I guess it's okay that it was switched but customer service wise, not a single apology or acknowledgement that it was switched and they had it wrong in the beginning. I don't know maybe she's new? "Maybe apologies for the confusion"? Anyway we still love fever nonetheless

During one visit, requesting a simple sprinkle of cinnamon resulted in an unnecessary comment, after asking for cinnamon on my iced latte, Marcy (a shift supervisor) looked at me with annoyance and said "just to let you know it's hydrophobic so it's not going to mix" On another visit, when I tried to order my usual iced Americano with cold foam, Marcy refused, saying "those are just the rules." Even when I asked to simply purchase a side of cream top instead, she refused to sell it to me--which was baffling, considering other staff members have been making this exact drink for me without issue for the past two weeks. After messaging the owner, he explained that the shop restricts drink modifications to speed up service. However, the obvious miscommunication among staff shouldn't fall on the customer. It was extremely uncomfortable to be shut down and given a hard time by Marcy. While every business has the right to set its menu rules, denying basic customizations and refusing to sell a side of cream top feels overly rigid for a local coffee shop. The strict atmosphere makes for a stressful customer experience.

Never table-touched, never checked in. They could literally see the looks on our faces and still kept walking by like we were invisible. We ended up throwing most of it away. I only took the egg and those sad, unseasoned potatoes home so I could try to rescue them myself. The bacon? Delicious. Absolute legend.
