NOTICE: WESTMINSTER LOCATION TEMPORARILY CLOSED AS OF 9/9/2026 Closed at 5:57 pm 9/9/ 2026. They didn't change their hours or list it as temporarily closed on Yelp on Google. The island bodega app just says "pickup not available" (I checked the app after I arrived because I wanted to order in person to dine in so I can avoid having a lid on top. Idk if they have Instagram for this specific location, because I just found one with a Cerritos address. Looks like it'll be closed for awhile. Leaving 5 stars cause the acai is delicious here. Just a shame none of their staff thought to update their hours anywhere. Drove 30 minutes to break my fast too read more

After a Sculpt class at CorePower Yoga, a few friends and I stopped by Island Bodega for a post-workout treat, and it was the perfect choice. I ordered the Lili Bowl, and it hit the spot! The bowl was packed with fresh kiwi, bananas, strawberries, and goji berries over a creamy base, then topped with crunchy granola, nut butter, honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It was fresh, flavorful, and filling without feeling too heavy--exactly what I was craving after class. It was such a fun way to cool down and catch up with friends over something healthy and delicious. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything tasted fresh. If you're looking for a great post-workout meal or just a refreshing, healthy treat, I definitely recommend the Lili Bowl at Island Bodega. I'll be coming back to try more of their menu! read more

Came on a rainy day (so not as crowded) and was greeted by 2 staff members who were pleasant and helpful! Was able to sample all the base flavors and my favorite was the Pitaya, then Blue Island, then the acai base. Toppings are crunchy and there are plenty of seating. The biggest thing was that you get all of these healthy options for a great price! I was so full from just a small and it was $11!!! Be wary though that the bases melt pretty fast, so you may have to devour your bowl ASAP! Would definitely come back! read more

I did a custom bowl and the acai base was alright...I asked for chia pudding and only realized that they forgot to add it after paying. That didn't bother me too much and didn't bring it up. I also felt like the vibe of the place was not it. It was so quiet in there (or maybe the music was very low) and the 3 employees that were working at the time seemed more interested in their conversation. A bit of a let down because I read that Island Bodega is a good acai bowl place but maybe not this location. read more

Island Bodega is a great new spot for acai bowls. The selection of ingredients and toppings to choose from are fresh and clean. I enjoyed the acai base as it was smooth, but it was a little too icy for my liking. The dried toppings like granola added a nice crunch to each bite, but I received a lot of finely broken pieces of it which tasted gritty. The interior space is open and clean! read more

Right now (10/6-10/15/25) they're having BOGO! Service was good, they offered samples in the bases to help us decide. All their bases, toppings, fruits etc looked fresh and tasty! They have an app you can download for rewards or to order ahead too! There's a few tables and chairs inside if you wanna eat there. They're located inside the Target plaza, where the old Starbucks used to be. Definitely check them out! read more

Interior was spacious & clean. .. Staff was friendly. .. Ingredients were fresh & portions were generous. .. Parking on this side of the plaza is generally easy. They're located in the Target/H Mart plaza towards the Starbucks/Chick-fil-A right next to Einstein. .. I loved the variety of toppings. They had everything I typically like to get on my bowls. cOns.. .. The matcha base was a smidge watery. Not a dealbreaker, but would've liked it a bit more firm/frozen. final thOughts.. ..

Went here for their soft opening! My sister and I love acai bowls and wanted to check out this new place nearby because we saw they were doing a promo. The interior of the place is gorgeous, very clean and lots of seating for a quick bite! As for their menu they have options for premade bowls and make your owns. We both decided to make our own. My sister got an acai base with coconut cream and I got the pitaya and acai base. These were so delicious, light, sweet and very flavorful. The coconut cream was milky and a sweet coconuty flavor! One thing to note is that when we went the only fresh fruit options were strawberries, bananas, kiwis, and blueberries. Seems pretty limited, but they made up in their base, granola, and toppings options! Excited to come again :) read more

My wife and I stopped by because we love trying different açaí spots, and this one is close to where we live. Unfortunately, our experience was a bit disappointing. We ordered two bowls, and my wife asked if she could add condensed milk to hers. The response was, "We have it, but it's for something else." That was surprising and disappointing. If an ingredient is available, it would have been nice if they were willing to accommodate a simple request, even if there was an extra charge. I'll give them another try and update. read more

Daughter has been wanting to visit this place. We walked over after having lunch at the food court in the Hmart. There were 2 staff members to help us. There was a coconut allergy. I liked how the female staff member let us know which bases to avoid and tried to avoid cross contamination with other bases and toppings by using a different spoon and getting toppings from the back. I went with a small, pitaya base, honey almond granola, strawberries, banana, blueberries, kiwi, dried cranberries, almond slices, and pumpkin seeds finished with honey. Daughter had a similar small acai bowl, but had 2 bases of pitaya and passion fruit. She felt that the passion fruit is unique. The granola is crunchy. The fruits were fresh. We enjoyed both bowls. Everything was good. Daughter thought the price of $11.00 for a small acai bowl was fair given the generous serving. We can't wait to return again. read more

Despite the multitude of new cafes to try in the area, I always come back to Sip for their seasonal drinks. Every few months, they manage to come up with creative flavors that you can't find anywhere else. This Fall, they have Slutty Caramel Apple, Miso Maple, and Abuelita's Vietnamese Mocha, just to name a few. The drinks always look super cute and photogenic, but they taste even better than they look. I love that Sip makes their syrups and foams in-house and whisks their matcha to order, because you can really taste the freshness in the drinks. The matcha flavor is present, but not bitter like some of the more popular OC spots. This balance allows you to taste the seasonal flavors along with the matcha. Their espresso drinks are very smooth and do not taste acidic or burnt at all. There is almost always a line out the door when you visit on the weekends, but it moves quite quickly. Inside, Sip's decor is welcoming and unpretentious, with a picnic-style vibe. They always put up themed decorations and display some matcha, coffee beans, and merch for sale along the wall. Seating is limited, but there is usually a spot to sit while you wait for your drinks, either outside or inside. I have seen some people study/work in the seats near the bar, but I would not recommend because of the crowds. Sip is located in a large plaza, so there is plenty of parking. Sip is definitely worth a try (or ten)!

Wish I could come back to support the business, especially with their incredible coffee, but I was told that they will be closing on 7/31/26. I'm so sad I didn't discover them sooner. I wish them all the best and hope they re-open in the future.

It's impossible to…read morewalk out of here without spending a solid chunk of change because everything looks and smells so good. Their cookies are absolutely massive and they are incredibly thick, dense, and heavy. The outside has a nice crispness, but the center is pure gooey perfection. They are so rich and packed with chocolate that you honestly need to break them into quarters to share, or just save the rest for later. We got the chocolate chip cookie and s'mores. Their best seller is definitely the chocolate chip. To wash it down, their Vietnamese Coffee is a must. It is strong, bold, and has that perfect sweet, condensed milk punch that hits just right. It pairs perfectly with how rich the cookies are. The spot is just a quick grab-and-go setup, and the line moves fast. Just make sure to get there on the earlier side because their popular stuff definitely sells out later in the day.

Worth every penny!…read more I've been here before and always liked this place, but this was our first time coming back with the kids and somehow I think I like it even more now! First off, the food was delicious. I've had A LOT of matcha and matcha fusion drinks, but the coconut matcha here is really unique and sooo good. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts was great. Some of our favorites were the garlic noodles with spicy sauce, seafood ceviche, squid and mango salad, and crab toast. The desserts were also surprisingly good. The banana bread pudding was amazing, and we really liked the frozen yogurt parfait. It's not your typical frozen yogurt dessert--I think it might be more of a Vietnamese-style yogurt--but whatever it is, it was delicious. What really stood out to me this time though was how kid friendly the place is. We have an infant and a toddler, and there was actually enough room around our seating to keep the stroller with us without feeling like we were completely in the way. I also really appreciated the music level. So many restaurants nowadays blast music to the point where you start wondering if it's too much for babies and toddlers. Here, they hit the sweet spot. Loud enough to create a nice vibe, but not so loud that we were worried about the kids. Service was exceptional too. And trust me, kids can make a mess lol. Our toddler spilled a drink and our waiter was so understanding about it. More importantly, you could tell it was genuine. There was no judgment, no annoyed reaction, nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. When you're dining out with little kids, that kind of attitude from the staff really makes a difference. I already liked this place before having kids, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be even better coming back as a family. Great food, really good drinks, amazing service, and surprisingly kid friendly. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

Had such a great experience at Island Bodega. From the moment we walked in, the customer service stood out right away. The girls working there were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the entire visit. They made us feel comfortable and were very patient answering questions and checking in to make sure everything was good. It's honestly refreshing to go somewhere where the staff genuinely seems happy and cares about the customers. The restaurant itself was also very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere felt relaxed, inviting, and organized, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in keeping the place looking nice and creating a positive environment for everyone who walks in. Overall, between the amazing customer service, clean environment, and welcoming vibe, this place definitely left a great impression. Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a spot with good energy and people who truly know how to treat their customers well. Will definitely be coming back again. read more

I came to Island Bodega for the BOGO deal, and let me just say... it was the best decision I've made all week. The bowls are so fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor, you can taste the quality in every bite. I've had my fair share of açaí bowls, but this place really stands out. The toppings are generous, the fruit is perfectly ripe, and everything feels crafted with care. What I love most is that they're now in Orange County! It's about time we had a spot that delivers this level of freshness and energy here locally. I've already added it to my weekly rotation, whether it's to start the day, fuel up after the gym, or just treat myself. If you're in the area, don't sleep on this place. The BOGO brought me in, but the freshness and flavor are what will keep me coming back again and again. read more

I came to Island Bodega during their BOGO deal and it was definitely busy. The line was long and things felt a little hectic, but it was completely worth it once I got my bowls. The fruit was fresh, the açaí was smooth, and the toppings were generous. Even with the crowd, the staff handled it well and kept things moving. You could tell a lot of people showed up for the same reason, and it made the atmosphere fun and lively. In the end, the wait was worth it. The bowls tasted amazing, the deal was unbeatable, and I left feeling like I found a new favorite spot. I'll be coming back, with or without a promotion. read more

The amazonion boat is perfect if you want to sample all the regular/ ube / spirulina acai! My favorite of the three was the regular acai, it wasn't too icey and very rich and smooth. The spirulina has a stronger pineapple flavor, while the ube was light and creamy. I dined in around 3-4 pm and it was chill around this time, and most people ordered takeout so it was quiet inside For the ube cream latte, it was good (to me) with the oat milk. However if you prefer a sweet latte I would not get this, as there isn't added sweeter. I will have to say the ube cream doesn't have much flavor - but it made the coffee creamier which I like! Definitely recommend this place for the acai and will be coming back :)

Food & Selection The Good: The food and desserts…read morethemselves taste great, and the overall ambience of the restaurant is pleasant. The Issue: The bakery case is rarely stocked properly. Even right at the 7:00 a.m. opening, the selection is only about 25% full, and they consistently run out of the best items by noon. Management & Service Decline There has been a noticeable shift in management over the last 6 to 9 months. It feels like leadership is focused entirely on "running lean" rather than prioritizing customer service, variety, and satisfaction. Consequently, the restaurant is rarely as full as it used to be, and overall business has visibly dropped off. Additionally, the dining area could use better attention, as the tables are not always clean. Drive-Thru & Morning Operations Attempting to visit during the morning commute has become consistently frustrating due to a rotating list of operational issues: Glitchy and problematic performance with the new app. Cones blocking the drive-thru lanes without clear reason. Doors failing to open on time, remaining locked past opening time of 7:00 a.m. Recommendation: To better serve commuting customers, management should consider moving the opening time to 6:30 a.m.--and crucially, ensure that operations actually begin on time. Summary Verdict This location used to offer great service and fully stocked cases. It has immense potential to be busy all the time, but management needs to shift its focus away from extreme cost-cutting and back toward building the business and taking care of its customers. I've spoken to several of the employees over the last few weeks and I'm hearing that they keep hearing this from their customer base. Hopefully someone in management will see this and bump things up a notch.

The restaurant is located in a center with a large parking lot, so finding a spot was easy. Inside, there were a few tables for dining in, and the music gave the space a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was friendly and had everything ready to go. I built a poke bowl with white rice, salmon, spicy crab, sweet corn, cucumber, edamame, and mandarin oranges. The salmon was good, though it didn't particularly stand out. The spicy crab added a nice kick, and the sweet corn brought a satisfying crunch. The cucumber and edamame tasted fresh, and brought everything together well. The sauce had a bright, citrusy flavor that added some zest without overpowering the bowl or making it too spicy. One ingredient I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did was the mandarin oranges. They added just the right amount of sweetness and helped balance the savory flavors throughout the bowl. Overall, it's a solid poke spot with fresh ingredients, quick service, and easy parking. Nothing was over-the-top, but everything was prepared well, and I'd happily stop by again when I'm in the area.
