Jujubar is sooooo good. My favorite place for açaí bowls. I wish they had more locations!!!! Every time I'm in the area, I have to get it. The açaí is such a good sweetness, not too sour and not too sweet. The fruits taste so fresh and the granola sooo fluffy. Please please please open a location in NorCal!!! I'll come every week!!! The workers were really friendly and made my bowl so quick!

This place beats all other açaí bowl places by price and size alone. Their bowls are enormous and while other açaí bowl places have raised their prices close to $17, this place keeps it all under $14. Presentation is great and everything tastes fresh. Service is decent but there's no tables to eat at. Just stools to wait for your order.

I know this place through its Riverside location, and I'm so glad to see another location closer to home. The place is in a little spot that can get busy and leaving might be a bit difficult, but it's nothing too crazy. Service was average, orders came out reasonably for the busy times. Got the 24oz. Island Passion smoothie. They have so many to choose from as well as acai bowls and juices so there's bound to be something for everyone. Island Passion is a more tropical flavor, reminiscent to Caribbean Passion from Jamba Juice. Not too icy or too sweet! Loved this smoothie, it's one of my go-to's here! Overall, great stop for an early morning breakfast or post workout treat! Extensive menu, good price for portions, and quick service! Definitely a recommended stop for a healthier sweet treat!

I LLOOOOOOVE JUJU BAR!!! TBH the best when it comes açaí! Been coming here for years now! I still do the drive for this anytime! Always fresh and delicious ! The staff is always so welcoming!

This was.... terrible. Heard amazing things from a friend and decided to give it a try. Ordered the garden bowl. Got cold soup. Whatever mix they use was entirely too watery. The fruit add ins were fine, granola perfectly crunchy. The texture and quality of the base is the reason for two stars. Definitely recommend trying elsewhere first

Tons of flavor and value here. Always good and friendly. I usually order ahead when picking my daughter up from Newport Junior Life Guards. Same price as all the other açaí bowls places but double the quantity. Been going here for a few years now.

Very refreshing and healthy option for a quick lunch. The fruit is nice and chilled and the açaí part of it is great. No complaints, placed an online order and it was ready when it was suppose to be.

Protein, Speciality && Power Vegetable Smoothie

When in Costa Mesa we have to get the Peanut Butter Crunch and the Green Warrior. I do a phone order so I don't have to wait for it, usually ready in 10 minutes. Parking is not ideal, but good place to get a kickstart drink

On my way back home, I decided to stop by Jujbar to grab a juice but ended up ordering an açaí bowl instead. The place is small and located in a center that seems to offer a few healthy food options. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged, which made for a not-so-great first impression. I stood around for a few minutes trying to figure out where to order until an employee finally approached and took my order. Definitely not the warmest welcome. The menu on the wall was a bit overwhelming and hard to follow, with lots of options and customizations. It also felt a bit pricey for a juice bar. I ordered an açaí bowl that came out to about $13--definitely on the higher end--but to be fair, the portion was quite large, easily shareable. When I got my order, it was served in a tall cup instead of a bowl. While visually appealing, the presentation made it hard to actually eat--the layers (açaí, granola, fruit) were stacked in a way that made it difficult to mix without everything spilling. A shorter, wider bowl would have made a lot more sense and improved the overall experience. By the time I created some room to mix it up, the açaí had already started melting and turning watery. That said, the flavor was on point--fresh, well-balanced, and truly enjoyable. So while the execution could've been better, the product itself was tasty. Overall: The staff could be more welcoming, the prices are a bit steep, and the cup presentation needs rethinking. But if you're looking for a fresh and flavorful açaí fix, it's worth a try--just not a place I'd go out of my way to return to.

Came here after a beach day and was craving a smoothie. It's hard to find places with quality smoothies that are not inside grocery stores or chains. This place has a ton of options and we tried the Aloha and Fiji one and both were insanely delicious. I preferred the Fiji one due to the coconut but the Aloha one was just as delicious. It's a small shop located in a plaza with plenty of parking. It's easy to get to and the service was fast. Ambiance was great and I will definitely be coming here again!

I've been a loyal customer of Juju Bar since I was 19, and now I'm 26. The staff is consistently friendly and the interior is always spotless. I adore the freshness of everything. While I love açaí bowls, I'm more of a smoothie person, so I always order the (shark attack) smoothie. It's my absolute favorite! read more

I was craving an acai bowl after hiking, and this hit the spot! I normally go elsewhere for acai bowls, but I decided to try Jujubar. I was so surprised at the size and how much you get. The Tiger Bowl was delicious! It's definitely not cheap, but this place gives you way more than other places, so it's worth the money, in my opinion. Service was good considering it was near closing time. It's really loud in there, obviously with the machines they use. I'd definitely come back again to try other bowls. read more

Great place to get your acai fix. They have such a vast menu option of acai bowls with so many mixes of flavor bases! And they give a very generous portion as well. I think it was just all one size and the bowl is very deep so it's easy eat without spilling all the contents. They are generous with fruit too, I loved the kiwi in my bowl. I couldn't finish it because it was so big but will definitely want to try the other items on this menu. read more

This review is aimed a the horrible restaurant service. I've run restaurants a couple times in my…read morelife, and I'm always in shock how disgusting this place is. You routinely find tables covered in at least one previous customers mess. The non-waiters ALWAYS attempt to place your table mat on top of the previous patrons toxic spill. Getting anyone to ask you if you want anything is a miracle. The food takes forever to be brought out, not made, but brought out. How can one tell? Because its so often cold. Beautifully made, but cold. If a Health Inspector attempted to eat lunch here, they'd be cited and possibly shut down until they could prove they have a staff trained to keep the place clean. CORPORATE: You need to GUT the staff. Hire people with experience serving people. People who know how to hustle for a tip. We will reward them well. The mystery of how so many Mother's have closed has been solved. Seal Beach, Manhattan Beach, it all makes sense now. Your competitors have moved in with SERVICE. Stop hiring entitled rich kids. A players hire A players. B players hire D players. Which are you?

I liked how there were 3 side options: chips, fruit, and pasta. I especially liked that the chips were tortilla chips served with salsa! The chicken in the chicken salad was chopped/minced super finely and had good flavor. Lots of people came in and went straight to the pick-up window, so they must do great business with online and take-out orders! I'll definitely be back to try a smoothie!

This one hurts to write…read more I love supporting vegan restaurants where I can order anything without worrying about the ingredients. Even though this place is pricey I happily supported it because it stood for something. Now that it's no longer vegan, it feels like a completely different place. Seeing venison, eggs, and raw dairy on the menu was honestly jarring. That shift isn't small, it changes the entire atmosphere and comfort level for me. Cross-contact becomes a concern, and I no longer feel at ease dining here. The branding around these new additions being described as "ethical" is the most frustrating part. They try to explain how their meet and eggs can be "ethical" but they don't even bother to try to explain how their raw dairy is "ethical." Probably because is no logical argument. Their pride and excitement about these "ethical" addictions feels entirely disconnected from the community that originally supported this space. I'm genuinely disappointed.

This is my first visit TO JUJUBAR. I've read lots of mixed reviews of this place, but want to compare it to my favorite place, BANZAI BOWLS. I ordered a large acai POWER ALMOND BOWL. A nice feature here is that they have extra scoops of peanuts, almonds, chocolate chips, cranberries and raisins that one can add to their bowls. With the POWER ALMOND BOWL I ordered, almond butter is mixed with the acai, so I am sure it will alter the taste and texture, so please keep that in mind when interpreting my review or using it as a study for your college thesis. The acai is yummy, smooth and not freezing cold Toppings seem plentiful. Their regular size bowls seem to be the same size/quantity as Banzai Bowls, but their large bowls seem smaller. Overall, I will come here again. BTW: They have punch cards for frequent visitors read more

Came here on a whim and was kind of disappointed. Wanted something quick to snack on at 7am. Ever hear of the saying quantity over quality? I was immediately presented with too many options for acai bowls (as mentioned by other Yelpers). Ended up getting the classic acai bowl. Ever tasted a McDonalds smoothie? The bowl was of the same consistency and color. It was good, but I wasn't "wowed" by the taste. For $7-8 I expected a bit more. They offer free toppings (fruit, granola, honey). Customer service: not good. Cashier wasn't friendly. Maybe it was early, but a fake smile would have been nice. All in all, stick with your fast food parfaits. read more

everything is good about this place taste and price wise. it is big cup of acai with a lot of fresh fruits and granola. it is my after-surf food every time i surf Newport beach. the only thing i don't like is that it is served in a cup. so the first few spoons you cant really get to the acai unless you are ok with dropping some of the fruit on the table. it is a sacrifice of fruit vs acai. too bad. served it in a bowl so it is easier to mix. read more

This place rocks. Best smoothies and açaí bowls. The pricing is extremely affordable especially when compared to other açaí places. I go here at least once a week for the peanut butter smoothie. Super nice staff too. Only downside is that the line on weekends can get pretty long so call your order in and pick it up. read more
