We stopped here before going on a hike. We enjoyed our acai bowls! We had our dog with us and sat on the benches in the back. We didn't realize there was parking in the back and just ended up parking on the street which was pretty easy to find. read more

Peanut butter acai bowl was great, super smooth and tasty but the regular standard one was a little icy and not my favorite. The fruit and granola were fresh and tasty (I've had stale granola before from acai places so always skeptical). Portions sizes for the "baby" are large enough for one person and at $8, its pretty reasonable. The serving bowls are cute and the outdoor seating in the back is nice. They also have a dog that runs around like he owns the place which is very cute. read more

The bowls were delicious but as soon as we sat down a man in a blue bike suit who presumably was the owner or manager started loudly and aggressively chastising the teenage staff who were doing a good job being nice and taking care of the guests. It made the atmosphere very hostile and I felt bad for the workers. As someone who has been a manager for younger people in food service, there is a respectful way to correct mistakes, especially in front of your customers. He said " people won't come back if you give them a shitty bowl", well people also won't come back if you're an asshole. read more

I am really in love with this place, it reminds me of an açaí surf shack back home -- such a vibe. Juicy fresh gorgeous berries and creamy, delicious açaí that is pure medicine. IMO açaí is better than coffee, and it powers me through any challenging day. Not too sweet, not too frozen or ice crystal-y. This place nails it. I love the menu and always end up ordering 3-5 bowls that I can freeze and enjoy throughout the week because their menucraft is so creative and drool-worthy. 5 stars for quality honey that reflects this beautiful region we live in. Mana Bowls you're still my #1 Marin açaí valentine, love you. read more

My 13 year old daughter went inside the restaurant by herself to get an acai bowl. While I waited the owner came out the back door looked at my tesla and then went and commented rudely to my daughter about it, saying he hoped she spilled it all over the car. Completely inappropriate for a shop owner to make a child feel uncomfortable like that. Really shocked and disapointed. read more

The owner is rude. After coming to his place weekly for a year, one day he decided to mutter under his breath, "You get a bigger bowl if you tip for it". I had tipped him but apparently it was not enough. Mind you this is at a place where you have to stand at the counter to order. There is no extra service. I then asked him what he said and he said, "Do you like this song"? He lied and back pedaled. Also, you cannot rely on the hours. He cruises in to open whenever he feels like it. I've come many times 30 minutes or even 60 minutes after the alleged hours only to find it closed. It's a shame, because the food is good. So if you want good food and don't care how you are treated then come enjoy this Fairfax gem. I will be opting for other restaurants from here on. read more

Second time mana bowls in Fairfax while running an errand for my boss. Originally came for the Buffalo soft serve, which was incredibly delicious and I didn't know it would be lactose-free. Second time was for the avocado bowl! The avocado bowl really taste like avocado and for the portion I would probably stick to Palmetto. The service was good. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful and the ambiance of the location is a normal café outdoor seating! read more

Mana bowls is definitely the best Açaí bowl place in all of Marin. I have no bias as I don't personally know anybody that works here. It's just relatively close to my work and I get bowls for my lunch breaks. I've personally been to every single açaí bowl place in the area and nothing tops it. The ratio of ingredients is absolutely perfect and the display is perfect. The fruit is actually cold aswell, which is usually not the case for most places that serve this kind of stuff read more

The açaí bowl, as understood in America, often seems more about the fruit and granola toppings than about the açaí itself. In Brazil, I encountered no açaí bowls, merely cups full of plain, thick, icy, and sweet açaí that required no toppers; the açaí stood proudly on its own and in the heat of Ipanema it needed nothing more. Rarely have I encountered açaí in America that stands up to the true Brazilian stuff but every once in a while I've encountered açaí that seems a different product entirely. Sometimes this is the result of thinning the berry with apple juice, a process which imparts a different flavor and consistency. Here at Mana Bowls, it seems they thin their açaí with juice but to a consistency that is both runny and, to my taste buds, unpleasant. The menu is dense with offerings and the acai bowl I got ($12, regular size) included berries, banana, granola, coconut, and honey, all of which I was grateful for because every time my spoon hit that açaí on its own the resulting spoonful did not bring joy. Brazil is clearly too far to go for a warm weather treat but San Rafael is probably not; Brazilian Breads serves up a far better açaí bowl. read more

I only came here once almost ten years ago when my partner lived in larkspur, and I still talk about this place. the owner is friendly, cares about his food and customers, and generally has curated an amazing spot to eat and drink and hang out. the stand out experience for me was the chai he served: it was spicy, not chalky or made from a mix or powder, fresh, and it has absolutely ruined me. nothing lives up to that chai and I fear nothing ever will. I am doomed to wander the earth (los angeles area) searching for a chai I cannot obtain. genuinely hope to one day make it back to this spot read more

I have never had an açaí bowl so tasteless and dissatisfying... but I wasn't going to comment until I pull out of the bowl what looks like a worm. I don't know if it's a worm or not it might be fibers from one of the fruits and I'm not not going to accuse them of anything until I have proof, but the bowl was also really not good at all. I don't think there was an ounce of fresh fruit in there. Even the blueberries were old. I'll definitely be throwing the rest away. I just don't know what this would be? The bowls are not made fresh so prepare to see a tub of the mix being dumped into your bowl. The girl working there was beautiful and sweet. The dog is cute. It's a cool vibe with the surfer stuff and the guy is clearly a lifetime surfer, but that's about the only good thing I have to say about this place. I wish I could've liked it more. read more

Stopped by Mana Bowls with my dad after a day of mountain biking nearby. We were craving something cool and refreshing, and these bowls hit the spot perfectly. I went for the Islander Mana bowl, while my dad enjoyed the Hanalei acai bowl. Both were exactly what we needed after biking in the summer heat. The service was quick and friendly, and the bowls were packed with natural flavors and nutrients. Highly recommend trying this place if you're in the area! read more

i never write reviews for places but was kinda shocked about my mana bowl experience...i walked in at about 1pm today and the person working was cutting strawberries for another order and gave me a second to think about what i wanted before i ordered. when i was ready to order he turned around with his red and dripping strawberry hands and took my order. with the same hands (that were still red and dripping mind you) took my cash and gave me change out of the register and my change (which was cash) was handed to me damp with red fingerprints from the strawberries. after that, he splashed his fingers with water for maybe 2 seconds and continued on with the strawberries for whoever's order was before mine. splashed his hands under water again before working on my açaí bowl. so weird and gross and they have the audacity to have this sign up for all to see: read more

This is my favorite place to get mana/acai bowls in Marin County. The granola is good and not too sugary tasting, the fruit is fresh, and the employees are usually very friendly. I always go for the fruity flavors, but they have options with peanut butter and chocolate if you're into that. One complaint I do have is that they are not the most reliable. I've shown up an hour after they were supposed to be open and no one was there yet. Moreover, sometimes they are out of some things on the menu, but that is common with any place and I love most of their bowls so it's not a big deal. Lastly, they raised their prices so it's pretty expensive. However, I definitely think it's worth the money and I treat it as a full meal, not just a snack. Overall, it's definitely worth the drive--I love bringing people when they come to visit or just going there with a group of friends! read more

The first time a came here a few years ago I got a classic açaí bowl, I came back for the first time today and had the worst experience. I spent $15 on a room temperature Yerba mate and a watery smoothie that also was room temperature. Granted it was a hot day, but frozen fruit should be cold...? The water jug was practically empty and the water in it tasted weird and tainted my water bottle. The person working ignored us when we walked in and didn't help me and my friend until we asked. I'm not a Marin snob but this sucked. Never coming back. Shoulda spent my hard earned money at Xoxo Edit: this was completely out of hand, y'all are doing great. read more

My first time at Mana Bowls and first time trying these açaí bowls...and let me tell you...it was delicious! Everything about this place is awesome, in my opinion. The place is cute, the food is delish, the staff was great! She was sweet and nice. Great customer service, for sure! The location is nice, when I'm working at Fairfax; but definitely, far from my home. However, I got the medium size Bright Pitaya Bowl and a coconut water for lunch. It was filling for me and just the perfect portion. My manager got the small size Dark Chocolate Mango Bowl. She didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mine, because she realized that she didn't have mangoes and dark chocolate chips in hers. Anywho, I would recommend this place for anyone who is in that area and is craving for these açaí bowls. read more

The prices aren't any lower, even though there is no waiter coming for your table, just the opposite.

The other issue is there are kids running around that is not the fault of the restaurant but the clientele. Kids are running in and out the door playing on the sidewalk out front and overall just make an uncomfortable experience to have adult beverages, unless you're the kind of parent who likes to speak inappropriately and drink inappropriately in front of your children. None of this is really the biggest issue, which is the food is absolutely terrible. They should just serve crackers and cheese or something premade somewhere else. Lastly, the parking is terrible as there is none. It's a dangerous area of fourth Street with people speeding up right where the front doors are to enter Mericle mile. Please be careful especially with your children. It's strange to me why people think a place is good or cool just because they serve alcohol. This place is not good, but especially I can tell you that it is not cool. The clientele are very trendy, dorky, yuppies trying to be cool!!! one piece of advice for the restaurant and the customers is you can't try to be cool. Either you are cool or you're not and then most cases you're not! It's just because a place has beer doesn't make it cool, and just because you go there with your kids doesn't make you cool! Again, the real problem with the place is simply lack of originality and terrible food, as well as boring people who are spoiled brats!

Then... when my food came out, it was a lentil wrap and not a burger. So... she took that back graciously. However, I think they tried to take that lentil patty and form it into a burger patty. That's what it seemed like, because it all fell apart as soon as I bit into it. It probably needed also to be cooked a bit more to stay in form. So it was like mushy, instead of a formed patty. Anyway, I do appreciate when a place makes an effort to do a custom-made veggie burger, rather than just offer the impossible/beyond thing. So maybe next time I try something else or have better luck with the burger. Good location and effort. Thanks!

Their taproom is small but cozy, and they have outside seating available in the back. The bartenders are all nice and willing to take their time to explain what each brew is like. If you do not feel like a beer during your visit, try their Kombucha, it is delicious. They do not serve any food, but on the day of our first visit, there was a food truck parked in front of the brewery that served delicious seafood.

I love this place. I go to the Midtown Farmer's Market every week specifically for this kombucha…read more The flavors are so fun and unique. I love the coconut lime flavor and also the lemon lavender and also the blueberry mint. She does free samples in metal containers. HELLO SUSTAINABLE. Pro tip: bring a soft sided ice chest with ice to the market, so your kombucha can stay cold. Shoutout to @MelissaG for the recommendation. I am forever indebted to you. You can tell that the owner puts such thought and love and care into her work. I love the sustainability focus that the owner has. She stopped doing single serve cans because it does not align with her mission. Now she only does kegs or glass bottles. I appreciate that she offers discounts when people bring in their own bottles. If you haven't been before or forgot your bottle or weren't planning on getting kombucha, she sells bottles with the cutest designs on them in a variety of fun and bright colors. I'm so sad to be moving from Sacramento because it means that I won't be able to have this kombucha anymore.

While the tap room is closing, I'm happy to know that KC Kombucha is carried and many local businesses and events. Check out their website for all the locations that you can find them- there are a lot! The team behind KC Kombucha is so friendly and every time I visited the tap room I've had great conversations with the staff. I look forward to future events where I'll be able to enjoy some of their latest flavors and talk with them more about their business and all the local happenings.

Having tried plenty of commercially produced Kombucha, I wasn't sure what to expect from small batch Kombucha that is locally brewed and served. I tried the guava and mango kombucha and instantly fell in love. I walked away with a taster pack of 4, and the friendly staff informed me that bringing back the glass bottles will entitle me to a small discount of $4. Win!!! Overall, I loved the quality of the kombucha, taste and not too fizzy. Most of all I love supporting small locally owned businesses--bonus that their Kombucha is so amazingly delicious!! Will definitely be back.

We ordered the Nachos de María with added grilled chicken and a Remix salad with grilled chicken. Our food came out pretty quickly, and the portions were HUGE! The grilled chicken was moist and really flavorful. The Nachos de María was a fun concept. It starts with chips topped with a cheesy chipotle mixture and black beans, then they add a salad on top made with chopped red leaf lettuce, tomato, avocado, and grilled chicken. Everything was tasty, but I think this dish could have been AMAZING with some kind of dressing or vinaigrette tossed with the lettuce and veggies first. The salad portion was completely undressed, so the lettuce and toppings felt a little plain compared to the flavorful nacho base. That little bit of acidity and extra flavor would have really brought everything together and taken the dish to another level. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The portions were generous, the chicken was delicious, the service was friendly, and the food came out quickly. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other dishes and fresh-squeezed juices/drinks!

The pan dulce is fresh, soft, and delicious with tons of sweet options and just as some savory ones. They also have sandwiches, smoothies, and coffee, which makes it an easy morning stop on the way to work. Prices feel very fair for the quality. My go-to move is grabbing a variety of sweet breads and cutting them in half at home so we can taste a little bit of everything. The concha is my favorite. Simple, classic, and done right. Plenty of parking in the lot, which is always appreciated. I'm so glad they chose Novato. It's lovely to have a local spot offering fresh pastries and so many good options. Definitely check them out.

The flavor promised on the menu just wasn't there. I wanted the avocado toast, but they were out of it. I pivoted and got the almond butter banana toast. They were skimpy on the banana, which was surprising. If I had gotten more than a 1/4 of a banana I'd be surprised. I had almost eaten it before I took a picture, but I spread the coconut pieces out between the couple banana slices so it wasn't just plain almond butter. The shop was clean. The patio was nice. The service was sufficient. Maybe we missed the vibe not getting an açaí bowl or a smoothie. I just spent too much for mediocre food.

When it's hot out, their sorbets are especially refreshing. The guanábana is another standout and so good on a warm day. Service is always kind and welcoming. Parking can be a little tricky since it's downtown, but you can usually find a spot. Sometimes it's quick, other times it just takes a short loop around the block.

Pro tip: the entire party needs to be present to be seated. Hubby and I were running late. Got there at 10:30am. Found our party seated inside. It was okay as long as they ordered without waiting for us. Comforts is both a restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, and a separate take out deli bakery. Known for their Chinese chicken salad which we all planned to purchase at the deli after brunch. We all enjoyed what we ordered - * pork carnitas hash + eggs - hubby & BIL both had this. Very hearty meal. * stuffed pecan crusted French toast - sis had 1/2 order. I tasted it. Thought very sweet. * eggs your way- friend enjoyed. She ate the scone but left the jasmine rice. * farmers breakfast - both friend & I had this. My eggs cooked perfectly. Griddle pancakes excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. We finished brunch within an hour. Automatic gratuity as we were party of six. Then moseyed over to the deli bakery. You need to pull a number located by the bakery front door. I bought three bakery items and a large box of the Chinese chicken salad. The peanut butter cookie and the chocolate chip cookie were very sweet. Definitely need a glass of milk or a strong cup of coffee. The lemon bar was very good. Very lemony with a thin crust. Being a Saturday the deli bakery was very busy.
