Ya know, it's weird that this has been in my drafts for forever. But I like this place. I like that…read morethey were down with the açaí bowl situation before it was cool (or at least, before it became de rigeur and/or spread to the damp and drippy PNW). I started chowing down on smoothie bowls in sunny southern California and the majorest of major metros like Manhattan, and it seems like it took forever for the "trend" to spread to our rainy neck of the woods. One could certainly get wheatgrass shots every which where, but smoothie bowls, not so much. ANYWAY, Carioca Bowls was leading the vanguard of delish and genuine açaí bowls in PDX long before it was an expected food variety in all hippie-ish towns in the US. Their bowls meet my exacting ingredient standards: Now that smoothie bowls have gone mainstream, many are just lightly disguised dessert with "health food" marketing: Hidden sweeteners and grody additives pushed on the unsuspecting hoi polloi ruin it for people who don't do their homework. But not Carioca Bowls: You can ACTUALLY get an unsweetened açaí bowl if that's your jam (it's mine: If I wanted dessert, I'd get a cupcake), and they don't drown the top in honey (honey has its place, and that place is far away from me), and drink in the extremely second-wave granola vibes while you're at it. Third-wave hippie food, like third-wave coffee shops, have suffered a loss of soul: Minimalist design, LED lighting, and cookie-cutter staff with vaseline smiles beckoning "welcome in!" with vacant looks in their eyes have sapped a lot of the joy from the spaces serving hippie food and matcha tea. Carioca Bowls remains a comfortingly messy, quirky callback to sincerity: Murals, houseplants, low lighting, a big messy garden-y space outdoors for sitting and chowing, organic unfussy aesthetics that make the whole scene just feel welcoming and comfy. You can eat your bowl here and not feel like you're a nuisance to the staff, or like there's a glaring spotlight on you (unlike SOME smoothie/juice/bowl places I could mention). Nary a whiff of extruded white plastic ANYWHERE in this place. It makes me feel at home, the way a wheatgrass-sniffin', long-hair-havin', big-hug-givin' hippie should feel. When I walk through the door, I feel RELAXED, ya know what I mean? Anyway, give it a try - this isn't my 'hood but I will still occasionally make a pilgrimage just to get a bowl and drink in the vibes. So if I were writing a Michelin guide (buy those tires!) I suppose I'd give this at least a star, as it's worth a special trip (IF you're into what I've described here - it's highly specific, but it's MY vibe). Anyway, long live Carioca Bowls!

It's a cool quick stop as you walk through this lovely area of town. 3/5 for drinks we got this afternoon, nothing really stood out. Smoothies and Slushies are $8.99 each. I got the Ginger Lemonade, it tasted refreshing at first but you had to drink in quickly as the ice melted away which altered the flavor. I liked the kick of a freshly squeezed ginger. My daughter enjoyed the Berry Rico (Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries & banana, almond milk), not too thick or liquified though it tasted more banana than berries. It doesn't have its own restroom though the staff told me I could use Tea & Tea next door and I did. Tea & Tea restroom provides toilet seat covers. Free street parking around the neighborhood.

She's there sun-up to sun-down, and the food matches her work ethic: thoughtful, healthy, and ridiculously good. Start your morning with a veggie breakfast sandwich loaded with avocado (it gets a little messy, but worth it). My wife goes for the bacon sandwich. Or grab one of the parfait cups layered with coconut, chia, fruit, and agave. For lunch, the grilled chicken and veggie combo with cauliflower rice tastes like it just came off a backyard grill. If you're more of a smoothie or acai bowl person, those are packed with fresh fruit and power-food goodness. Kids love it, too. The bright colors, wholesome options, and friendly vibe make it easy to bring the family. I'll usually order a Koko Latte as a treat. My wife will need her own. No sharing. Point is, it's good. It's really good. It's one of those spots that makes you want to write a review just because it deserves it. Krista's created a food cart that's both healthy and full of flavor, perfect for people who want to eat well without giving up taste. I've had to make a few changes in my diet recently, and her menu has made that way easier and tastier. It's not just food. It's heart and heart-healthy. You can taste it. Thank you, Krista and The Krazy Kokonut.

I haven't been back in a few years but it seems like the ordering system is different now. you pick everything you want at the cashier and pay before they make your bowl. this wasn't really clear when we came in so we were confused for a bit. it's not efficient for traffic flow the cashier is located towards the far side of the doors. while everything was delicious and fresh, I find it hard to want to come back with the price changes. when you make your own bowl, you're limited to a certain amount of toppings as compared to back then when it was unlimited.

The Celery -- Portland, OR…read more Walked in and immediately felt like I should own a fixed-gear bike. Industrial. Clean lines. Slightly edgy. The kind of place where you expect someone to be editing a documentary on a laptop made of recycled aluminum. Late afternoon visit, so the hipster crowd had clearly skateboarded back to their respective creative labs. I had the place to myself. Prime auditing conditions. First impression? This place is built for volume. You can tell. Efficient layout. Assembly-line potential. If bowls were a factory sport, this would be a playoff team. Ordered the Home Grown. Took a quick bathroom break. Came back and -- boom -- bowl was already on the counter. FAST. And it looked elite. Then I saw it. A generous dollop of peanut butter at the top, sprinkled with hemp seeds. I almost got emotional. It felt like flying over your hometown after months away. Familiar. Safe. Right. First bite? Delicious. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like frozen yogurt or soft serve. Easy eating. Crowd-pleasing texture. And then... I looked up. Another bowl was being made. The açaí base was coming out of a soft-serve machine. As a purist, this one hurt. I want hand-scooped. Blender-blade symphony. Crafted, not dispensed. I had a small internal crisis. But here's the problem: I really enjoyed it. So now I'm torn between my values and my taste buds. Would I go back? Yes. Would I wrestle internally again? Also yes.
