I wanted to like this place, but it was pretty disappointing. I ordered for pickup, and shortly after placing my order they called to let me know they were out of mango, which every item I ordered included. I appreciated the call and that they offered substitutions, but it's surprising for an açaí/smoothie shop to run out of such a basic ingredient. I ordered the basic açaí bowl with regular granola and no goji berries. Unfortunately, I received chocolate granola and goji berries anyway, so I had to pick them out myself since I'm not a fan. The bowl also looked nothing like the photos advertised, and the açaí itself had a bitter taste. Maybe it was just an off day, but the texture was much icier than the smooth, creamy consistency I was expecting. My friends also weren't very impressed with their orders. Overall, the staff was friendly, but the food didn't live up to the expectations or the menu photos.
Ok I see you, Berkeley! While in the area, I noticed across the street from the Telegraph Channing Garage, this beautifully cool building/sign for Layers Superfood Bar. Love the aesthetic. While there is limited seating indoors, this feels like more of a grab-and-go style spot near the Cal Berkeley campus. There were a few students that came through while I was waiting on my order. I grabbed a smoothie and a bowl ~ checking out the menu a bit more thoroughly for next time, I'll order the Bowlieve Me, Baby (Red Dragon Fruit Base) or the I'm So Blue Without U (Blue Spirulina Base). You can adjust your toppings, and there's a checkbox to select the almond granola (GF, vegan) or with no granola. The bowl sizes are small, medium, large (8oz, 16oz, 24oz) and it looks like the smoothies come in one size. For the smoothies you can pick your plant milk (coconut/oat/soy come with a charge). They also serve energy balls that look adorably delicious and eye-catching. The bowls and smoothies are aesthetically pleasing and incredibly nourishing. What a fun find and win for the East Bay if in the area + need for a bit of elevated (and beautiful) nutrition. Smoothie-wise the Strawesome is delish and the Greenergy looks great! You can find parking in the garage across the street (I think the first hour may be free?) or street parking near/around the area with a short walk. Can't wait to know more about this special spot! Will def be back.
My acai bowl was very flaky. Surprised no one else has brought this up, there were large ice flakes in it that led to an inconsistent texture that lacked creaminess. I'm not sure if this was purposeful or if the base was not prepared or thawed properly. Nevertheless, the base options and toppings were tasty and fresh. They're also prepared in a very aesthetically appealing manner! Super cute interior that has a decent amount of seating, plants, and cozy lighting everywhere. I look forward to revisiting this place once I come back to Berkeley, it's downright adorable. Really easy to miss as it's right off Telegraph and a bit small in terms of square footage, but don't hesitate to come in and give it a try!
I've had layers a few times now and it's now my go-to sweet treat craving! All of the flavors are all natural and taste perfectly fruity and refreshing. They have so many good toppings to chose from and my favorite is the cookie crumbles. Every bowl is crafted perfectly and I love how thoughtful the recipes are. I love layers!
Cute açaí place just opened near Berkeley campus so we had to try it out! Tried the class açaí, blue spirulina, pink dragonfruit, and matchanoffee bowls. The owner said the matchanoffee was her favorite and I have to agree. Matcha flavor went so well with the cacao nibs, cacao powder, granola, and crumble. We also tried the berry smoothie which was so refreshing and not too sweet at all! All the ingredients are whole foods, lots of superfoods, seeds, and powders that have high antioxidants, and she uses dates and fruit to add sweetness instead of sugar! The shop itself is super cute, with lots of plants and warm lighting. The owner is so sweet and talked to us about all the ingredients. She truly cares so much about the quality of the food and it really shows. Have already been here twice in one week, might need to come back again to try the rest of the menu!
Cute acai bowl and smoothie spot with a beautiful interior! I stopped by Layers a few weeks ago when they had a collaboration with Pique, a nearby apartment complex, and got to try their Mango Coco acai bowl. The Mango Coco was solid! I liked the combination of mango, granola, chia seeds, and house crumble. The base was a bit icier and less creamy than most açaí bowls I've had, so that's something to keep in mind. That said, the ingredients tasted really fresh, so I definitely give them props for that. I also liked that you can customize your own bowl by choosing whatever toppings you want. They offer three sizes - 8 oz, 16 oz, and 24 oz - which is nice depending on how hungry you are. The inside is really modern and well decorated with cute plants. There is some seating indoors (a few benches and a small counter), but I'd say it's a bit more of a grab n' go spot. Service was fast, even given the event, and the staff were super nice. I'd probably come back again to try their smoothies!
I absolutely adore this place!! It's right by campus and a great place to grab a smoothie/açaí bowl. The interior is super cute with a few table seats and seats along the counter. The owner is super sweet and talked to us for a long time. She even told us everything is made naturally and sweetened with banana! I got the berry bowl in a medium size and loved it! It was sweet and filling.

So Yummy! (っڡ) and I love how beautiful the inside is! Parking can be challenging as it's mainly street parking. This is a great place if you want something quick to fuel up or if you want something refreshing. I couldn't recall who was helping us this day (assuming maybe the owner?) but they were super kind and welcoming. I can't wait to go back to try some new flavors! read more

Feel a bit underwhelmed by my visit here. The smoothie descriptions fit my goal for I was looking for in a nutritious, filing and healthy drink. The place was empty on a weekday afternoon and place your order through the self order kiosk. There isn't any tables, just a few benches inside. Keep in mind if you decide to order an acai bowl or any other foods. The smoothies were okay, I felt they were on the watery side and they did not look like the picture. The smoothies had a weird bitter taste at the bottom but I assume that's just how a healthy smoothie tastes. read more
- convenient location - low sugar food with premium ingredients - almost 2x the price of other healthy smoothie bars in Berkeley and I am not sure the price is justified for me personally - I make blue spirulina smoothies at home and typically get darker blue color for 1 tbsp (1 serving). The light blue color made me think the smoothie itself does not have 1 serving read more
