Came after a hot beach day and decided on acai bowls: - bear bowl - dragon bowl Beautiful and clean place with great options, would come here again!

Mix Custom Bowl
Sahar H.

The açaí bowls here are very yummy, you can customize your own and even the small size is big enough. There are many options to choose from and you can mix and match, I got the matcha and coconut cream base, both chai puddings, and lots of yummy toppings. Very worth it, service is very good and fast, the girls are nice there. The store is small but cute and has seating areas inside as well.

Cacaonut and Sunshine bowl
Karly K.

Wonderful service and excellent açaí! We got 2 bowls. Love this place! Always a pleasure!

Lili Bowl
Rochelle S.

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!

Sunshine bowl and island bowl

Tuesdays 3-6pm use code Aloha in the app for a $6 small custom! They make it so quick and packed!! Small is enough to fill you up and satisfy that Açaí bowl craving! I love their blue island and the coconut cream.

Thank you Miguel and Phuc for the recommendation! The Lili bowl so far looks and tastes great. Can't wait to finish and enjoy!

Thank you Miguel and Phuc for the recommendation!! The Lili bowl looks great. Can't wait to dig in!

Matcha Acai
Trinity T.

A lot of options to choose from! Tried the Matcha for the first time it was delicious. They have a ton of flavors, the workers were nice enough to offer samples before you decide. Clean, a lot of indoor seating. Highly recommend, definitely will be back :)

Cacaoconut Bowl
Chris M.

They have signature açaí bowls or you can make your own! They have a wide variety of toppings and the fruit is fresh! Their Island Bodega latte is also really good. The service was quick and the presentation was awesome! Plenty of seating available. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Stacy T.

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!

Acai
Uyen P.

A great acai spot with endless options! I chose an acai and passionfruit base with my favorite toppings. Seating available inside with a modern feel. The staff here are always so nice as to well.

Açaí Custom Bowl
Alvin N.

I don't usually get açaí bowls because I was spoiled when I was in Hawaii. This place brought me back the memories of Hawaii the second I had the first bite. I recommend this place if you want a good taste of Hawaiian açaí.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh and flavorful bowls, friendly and helpful staff, and a relaxed and clean atmosphere.

I think this is my top OC cafe! Sip has the perfect blend of delicious and unique drinks, welcoming…read moredecor, and friendly staff. 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)!

In regards to the matcha, I feel that the matcha depth gets overpowered. But still enjoyable if I'm looking for a fun drink. The design of the store is very nice and LA-like. Drinks come out in a good amount of time, and it's nice to watch the baristas make them.

Only problem is there isn't outlets at all the sitting spots. Only two places have outlets. Well decorated interior from the moment you walk in, to the restroom in the back. Appreciate how clean this place is. Love the type of chill music they play. It's like a little hidden gem! Beverages/Service: lots of options! We tried their orange series because that's their signature. The orange was definitely a forward flavor so paired with the hojicha, it was like orange chocolate. Whereas it overpowered the matcha flavor. They want to guarantee satisfaction so they told us they'd remake it. While it's not my preference, it's not bad, so I kept mine. I'm just so grateful they were kind enough to offer the remake. I'd definitely come back.

The business has a few tables outside and a good amount of seating inside as well. I ordered a Ube Cream Coffee - Saigon Style ($5.50). Yummmm!! I love how strong but creamy and delicious this coffee is. I'm hooked! I am Vietnamese and I approve of this cup of coffee. While I was there I saw their glorious casing of pastries and I couldn't resist. I ordered and enjoyed: 2 Garlic Bread ($5.35/each), Chocolate Croissant ($6.60), Almond Croissant ($6.85), Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread ($4.75) and 2 Macarons ($3.20). Their pastries are fantastic. My boyfriend doesn't enjoy sweets as much as I do so that garlic bread was good for it. The croissants were really flakey and flavorful. I enjoyed the bread. For the macarons I was given a third one as a thanks for all the items I orders and I liked all 3. Yum! 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.

Beef Pate Chaud- 10/10 I've had so many at different Vietnamese places and I'll have to say this was so bomb!!! It had plenty beef in it too. If you don't know what a pate Chaud is , think of it as like an Asian style empanada! Since it was from door dash, I put it in the air fryer and got the pastry nice and flaky!! So so good!
