It was my 1st time.... Very impressed.... Great cold dessert. I'm coming back when I come back to California
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!
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!
$11 for a small Generous portions Tasty options as a base! Passion fruit and mango are so yummy here Friendly servers Fast service!
Refreshing, quick, and light! Busy plaza with ample parking. There's 3 tables and the price is descent! Good music and ac
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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).
Went to try this place during their BOGO deal. I sampled a few of the bases, and they were all really good. Love that you can add unlimited toppings at no extra charge. The blueberry one was so good -- I loved it. The strawberry wasn't in season, so it was a bit sour. I also liked all the butters they offered -- it really added a nice creamy richness to the bowl. Staff was friendly and quick of making the order. They checked every steps if I was ok with everything and need any adjustments. Location have plenty of parking. Inside was cute, aesthetics and clean. Overall, I'd give it 4/5 stars -- everything tasted great, but I probably wouldn't buy a single bowl at full price. read more

I ordered from Island Bodega from Uber eats I got the cacaoconut bowl. It came a little melty which was understandable given it took 30 minutes to get to me. I enjoyed the bowl and would consider going again. I obviously can't really comment on the atmosphere but my order was correct and came with a spoon and napkins in a sealed bag so that's good at least read more
They were super accommodating with my nut allergy. They used new gloves and grabbed new toppings from the back. They have lot seating available and restroom for customers. We would definitely come back here. The employees were friendly and lighthearted. read more
Really delicious bowl with friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere! It seemed pricey until I got the bowls and realized it was well worth it. The ingredients are superb! And the variety they pack into each bowl is amazing. I like all their preset bowls, to make the ordering easy. But I do love a crunch in my food, so I swap out soft coconut for toasted coconut. My friend got her bowl without the peanut butter and you can see the individual seeds and stuff better, making a gorgeous bowl. Weekday @ 3pm wasn't too busy so we got to sit around chatting and enjoying our bowls. read more

Best Açaí in the area. My family and I enjoy the açaí here weekly. We like to customize our bowls to our likings. There's so many options here whether it's bases, toppings, or nut butters. The service is pretty quick especially for online orders. If you're feeling to eating in, it's a nice clean and quiet place to enjoy some açaí. read more

Stumbled in here after a sweaty pickleball sesh and honestly... 10/10 life decision. Nothing hits quite like an icy açaí bowl when you're one dink away from heatstroke. DIY açaí bowls? Genius. Unlimited toppings?? Dangerous. I went full kid in a candy store mode and may or may not have created a fruit + granola + peanut butter mountain that would put Everest to shame. Fresh ingredients all around, and bonus points for the staff who actually encourage you to sample the bases--truly the Costco of superfoods. Parking? Massive lot outside. Service? Friendly, patient (even with my "is 12 toppings too many?" crisis), and fast. Only catch: the price-to-portion ratio is a bit on the "LA smoothie tax" side. But hey, hydration + antioxidants + bragging rights that I earned my açaí bowl post-pickleball? Worth it. read more

LOVE this place! I like mixing blue island and açaí, my favorite!!! Service is different every time I go sometimes good, sometimes just ok. The place itself is nice inside and lots of parking when Gen Korean isn't crowded. read more
Food 5/5: Got the Island Bowl and Albatross Bowl and both were great. I personally preferred the Albatross of the two. The flavors of all the ingredients really mix well together and are a refreshing treat on a summer day. Service 5/5: Our bowls were made quickly and all the toppings taste fresh! Price $: $14 for a medium size bowl; a little steeper than some other places we've been to given the size of the bowl, but not bad for a local spot closer to home. read more

Probably the best fresh açaí bowl I've ever had. Highly recommend coming here. The workers are super nice and very clean and aesthetically friendly environment. read more
Açaí bowls are really good here. I liked that they are kinda like blue bowl (Iykyk )and let you choose all the toppings you want. They have good options as far as bases and the fruit is fresh. They were a little backed up when I went because they only had one employee at the time which is the only reason for the 4 stars. read more

Love this place! They have a huge variety of acai bowl options. They are open most of the day so it's convenient to go in the morning or at night. I usually order the lili bowl with no adjustments. The bowls come with a lot of toppings so there usually isn't a need to modify the order. Staff is very friendly and welcoming! read more

Price is a bit higher than other places with similar products. They are an acai bowl place with unlimited toppings for their bowls and also offer coffee drinks and merchandise. Some of the unique qualities of Island bodega are their island base and blue chia seed pudding, both of which use spirulina and give the foods a light blue color. The island base also has pineapple in it, but it's pretty mild overall - the equivalent of a vanilla for their fruity base options. They also have a crispy bee pollen topping which I had never seen before. Staff was friendly and patient with my questions about the different toppings and bases they had. I appreciated that they let me try a sample of the island base before committing to it! The store is a bit small but the decorations are cute and they have large windows so it's relaxing to eat there if it's not busy. read more

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