Food was amazing and I love the vibe of this little place. A couple of the ingredients of our bowls were out at the time, and no substitutions were offered. I loved the ceramic bowls they were served in. 2 mediums bowls were a bit pricey but overall, sitting outside enjoying a healthy fresh smoothie bowl was a great breakfast on our last day in Marin. read more

Mana Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, California

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

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

Amazing!!!! The food is incredible, this is the sweetest little shop. The vibe was amazing and the bowls were out of this world. They have so many options and overall was a great experience. read more

Had the Vitality Bowl-- loved it! I've been on an açaí bowl kick and this place nailed it. Fresh, refreshing, great topping ratio--- so good! Will definitely make this a regular stop. 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

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

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

Mana Bowls - What is this? - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, California

Service is extremely slow, and they run out of stuff just about every time. Staff consists primarily of teenagers with no sense of customer service etiquette. 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

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 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

Incredible fresh and delicious açaí bowls!!! I'm not sure how but they managed to make the perfect blend of crunch, sweetness, berries and banana in the Mana Bowl. Genius stuff. Always a good vibe in there, looking forward to going back again. read more

Mana Bowls has very small portions of toppings for a hefty price...quality has gone downhill.

Great smoothies! Very cool laid back vibe. The bufala ice cream is also excellent. Have not tried the acai bowls yet, but they looked amazing! read more

So delicious, brings me back to Hawaii! The Hanalei bowl is my 4 year old's most requested treat.

Yes, it is pricey, but it's worth it. No plastic, organic, and perfect after a long hike. They were close for a while due to Covid19 (I believe) but they are now open for business. Remember to practice social distancing while you're in there. 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

Mana Bowls - A medium mana bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, California

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

The tastiest snack around Marin. Where else do you get pawed by a dog implying that it wants your attention while you order. With a relaxing atmosphere you can eat in or outdoors. We love it here! read more

Now I've never been to Brazil, but I do know that if I'm ever in the mood for açaí I will not be visiting anywhere else. Staff was gentle, kind, and informative. Ingredients were very fresh and pricing was relatively cheap compared to other açaí places. If you're ever in Fairfax this is a must visit. read more

Stumbled upon this place when the Fairfax Coffee Roasters across the street wasn't accepting credit cards. Perfect bowl for my bike ride on a hot day. Cyclists should def check this place out. Reasonable prices and large servings with fresh fruit. 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

Great spot in charming downtown Fairfax. Fresh, organic, produce with reduced sugar options.

Grabbed the Tamalpal bowl for a light lunch and it hit the spot! Delicious and fresh! Definitely check them out!

Fresh, quick and yummy. The dark chocolate, size small (less the bananas) is the perfect post hike snack for me. Or lunch. Or really just anytime! read more

Just stopped in, 2pm on a Wednesday. I, my husband and brother wanted a healthy treat after a hike in West marin. There was a worker working, making a bowl for another customer. I get it-- making healthy fruit bowls takes time, but this woman didn't even turn around to acknowledge us upon entering and continued her conversation with the other customer. When she finally did turn around to say hello she looked the three of us up and down and said, "wow there are a lot of people here today" rolled her eyes, turned the music up on the radio. We waited awkwardly about 15 minutes, but when she didn't even bother to apologize for the delay or chat with us, we just left. This place is so overpriced and full of themselves. It's just smoothies. read more

Dropped by this place after a hike in Pt. Reyes, since we had driven by earlier and thought it looked lovely. Everyone else looked like high school students so I'm guessing it's a pretty cool casual place to hang around, it has some comfy seating areas inside & outside. I got the pitaya bowl and loved it! Kiwis, strawberries, coconut flakes + more. I wish we had one of these in San Jose :( read more

I am now obsessed with Mana Bowls. I came here the other day with my mom and sister. I was hearing rave reviews and great things from my friends. I needed to try this place. Wow. I am so glad that this place finally opened up! Located in Fairfax, Mana Bowls serves health,y generous portions of a type of Acai sorbet with granola, fruit, and really just anything. There is a menu full of different types you can choose from, and you can also choose your own toppings. Since it was my first time, I asked what looked like the manager, what the most popular order was. He replied with either the Surf Bowl, or Cataract Falls. I went with the Surf Bowl in a medium size. In the bowl was a type of Acai sorbet, granola, bananas, shredded coconut, & kiwi. There might have been more but I think that's it! It was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. The Acai was so fresh and the fruit was amazing. I loved how the granola added a little crunch to my bowl. After eating, I was full and satisfied. I was not hungry for dinner afterward (this is very filling, you could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner)! My mom got the Cataract Falls, which I believe is the same as the Surf Bowl, just a little less sweet with Dragonfruit mixed into the Acai sorbet. I tried some of hers, and it was amazing! The people that work here are friendly, and willing to help. The ambiance is laid back and joyful. I highly recommend Mana Bowls! It fills you with a healthy, organic meal that honestly nobody could hate. Definitely a place to try. I will be back!!! read more

Mana Bowls - Pure Blend - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Fairfax, California

On the expensive side, but excellent flavors. I went with the pure bowl and added gogi berries. $10 for a medium size, which was enough for me plus $2 for the berries Im used to backyard bowls in Santa Barbara where you get the goji berries and bee pollen in a large size for the same price as the medium here without those toppings. $2 per topping? Really? Come on guys! Otherwise great bowls. read more

The service here is really top notch. The smoothies are delicious, lots of good options on the menu, excellent quality fruit.

Giving this only 1 star because the kids are trying. They are out of 80%and they are serving melted runny bowls. The staff is stressed, scratching their heads, literally playing with their phones and leaving the building while customers are in line. What a joke! read more
