I cannot tell you how excited I am that a Nautical Bowl location opened near where I live in Maple Grove. I used to go to the Minnetonka location when I loved over there but haven't since moving to Maple Grove. Now since this is opened I can once again have this great treat!
Location:
This Nautical Bowl is located down the road from Arbor Lakes near the Cub, Kohls, and Star Bucks. It is a very easy location to access since it is in its own strip but parking is not easy. The two times I have been there has been no parking by the store and I have to park by the Star Bucks and walk to the entrance. Once inside the store is small but has everything you need. There's room to order, places to sit, and was very clean when I have been there. I love the ocean themed paintings on the wall and the color scheme really brings you to the beach. The whole location is well kept, well designed, well decorated, and is a great place to visit!
Employees:
Every time I have been here I have been greeted by friendly faces and great customer service. My order has always been right and I feel like the employees are actually listening to me and want to get my order right. I also had a nice gentleman that made my order who thanked me for coming and talked to me while he prepared my order. It really makes you feel like they are happy that you are there and that does go a long way.
Food:
If you have been to Nautical Bowl before you know what you are getting into. If not they specialize in Acai bowls, and other flavors, that have nutritional add ons for and extra boost. I always get the same thing but evey time I have got it I have not been dissatisfied. I do the acai, and pitaya base with granola, strawberries, goji berries, and cocoa nibs. The bases have always been tasty, creamy, and down right delicious! The berries were also in great shape and didn't seem out of season. I definitely will be going back to try more at another time!
Overall:
Nautical Bowls is delicious and I am so glad it is making its way up. The biggest downside is that it is on the expensive side. Especially since the the new way they price things. You use to get 3 toppings for free and the bases were cheaper. Because of this we don't go as often as we would like but it does make a great treat when you are looking for it. Definitely check this location out to show your support for Nautical Bowls! You will not be disappointed! read more
