Overall very good, the protein gaucho is my favorite. I like adding a scope of almond butter to the blend to make it more creamy and nutty. Very gut friendly, and a great meal after a tennis match or a workout! read more

Delightful. Absolutely loved my açaí bowl from here! There was a bit of a wait (~30 mins), but that goes to show just how popular this spot is! It is conveniently close to the beach so it's an easy walk down to enjoy your bowl with a view. I loved the chocolate one - it wasn't too chocolate heavy, rather more peanut butter heavy, which is exactly what I was looking for! The fruit was fresh, the bowl was loaded with toppings, and the pricing was pretty standard (maybe a little high) compared to other açaí shops. I'll be back! read more

My two favorite bowls are the electric pink and peanut butter pipeline. I prefer the pitaya over the açai. Paradise bowls is consistent and the price is fair for the portion you get / the ingredients they use. The staff are friendly and often local students. Good beach vibe. read more

Was treated like a second class citizen at OakBerry which led me to Paradise Bowls. And I couldn't have been happier. The guava bowl was so good! I will come back again for this. It was delicious and fresh. It was so good I forgot to take a picture read more

If you follow anyone who lives in or frequents Manhattan Beach, chances are you have seen them post a picture of a Paradise Bowl held up with the Manhattan Beach Pier in the background. I can't even hold them though, I was on the same sh*t. It was one of my last days in LA for a minute, so I took the pup down to get a bowl. I knew I was in good hands when one of the Gen-Z kids took my order and began making my Gaucho bowl. They always be cookin with acai bowls, coffees, and smoothies. I got a medium size ($12.50), but realized my error when I got handed my bowl as it was HUGE. Hefty portion sizes here. I mean you know I love a good portion but fruit is sneaky with sugar so I felt bad eating all that but what am I gonna do? Throw out perfectly good food? This bowl was BEAUTIFUL. Inspiringly beautiful. You probably think I'm being dramatic but look at the attached pic. An acai based topped with granola under loads of blueberries, strawberries, and sliced bananas with a fresh honey drizzle to finish. GOD DID! Me and the little man walked down to the strand, got the notorious pic with the bowl in front of the beach, took a seat, demolished the bowl and listened to music for a minute while the story likes came flooding in. It's like that... Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews read more

The amazing açaí bowls and smoothies are in high demand here. There is always a line but they have several staff working around the clock. They told us it would be about 15 min so we stepped outside to wait. We got the bikini smoothie and the gaucho açaí bowl. The ingredients were fresh and tasted so yummy. Would definitely recommend the medium sized bowl for the most value. The menu has so many good options for a refreshing snack. read more

Issues with my drink but customer service made it right. They were busy so service was a little slow.

I ordered this bowl and as you can see, the açaí is not even half of it, I almost didn't feel the taste. I paid for an AÇAÍ BOWL, not just granola and fruits. Very disappointing! read more

The good: Acai bowls are one of my favorite desserts. I got the Maui Wow-me bowl from the Pitaya menu (they have an acai menu too). It had guava juice in it and was delicious with an island flare. I liked the bee pollen topper. It was under $11 for a size small (good for 1-2 people). I thought it was a fair price and it was made in a timely manner. The location is beachside so it was a wonderful snack to take with you while walking along Manhattan beach. There are also lots of cute shops around here so it's a very walkable area. The fruit were fresh. There were many menu items to choose from. They sell smoothies too. The bad: There was no indoor seating. However, there are benches nearby outside. I've been here twice and the second time the wait was a half hour. They should have a text phone alert set up for when your bowl is ready. I felt like some of the workers were just moving slowly taking their time. The interesting: The kitchen is open so you can see folks cutting up the fresh fruit. They have 2 other SoCal locations. This location's their original. read more

This was definitely a busy place at 11:30 on a Sunday. It did take about 10-15 minutes before we got our bowls. The only downside is that there is nowhere to sit to eat our bowls. We got the small size of the Gaucho and the Gauva Sunrise. Both were delicious and a perfect size. Would definitely get again the next time we are in town. read more

I really like Paradise Bowls. I really enjoy Acai bowls in general, but I've had some terrible ones over the years. This little shop does it right. The Peach Bum and the Coconut Breeze are my two favorite items on the menu but honestly everything looks like it tastes good. Overall the have Acai bowls, pitaya bowls and smoothies. Ive only ever see one person working behind the register but they are moving quick! They're almost no seating so you'll more than likely need to take your order to go which is no problem since you're a few feet away from the beach so you can take your bowl and go enjoy the views. Would definitely recommend. read more

Came here for a quick healthy snack while walking the strand. I was very excited to eat it hence the picture of it half eaten already lol. I ordered the Gaucho bowl and it was very good! All of the toppings were very fresh and portion to price was solid for acai bowls these days. Blend wasn't as think as I normally like but still good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Go check it out next time you're in the area especially on a warm day! read more

Just tried Paradise Bowls and wow -- it did not disappoint! The açaí is super smooth and flavorful, and they're generous with the fruit toppings (which I love). Great selection of smoothies too!

Tried Paradise Bowl for the first time today and ordered the Chocolate Arc acai bowl -- it did not disappoint! The location is small, but I didn't mind it at all. I actually found parking right in the front, which was super convenient. My bowl took about 5 minutes, plus they took down my number and texted me when my order was ready. Got to walk near the beach for couple minutes. and I was really impressed with the consistency of the acaí. I'm pretty picky when it comes to acai bowls, but this one was so good, it was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Definitely a place I'd come back to! read more

Ordered the guava sunrise. Fruit is fresh and ripe. Guava base is a duller than expected, but still delicious. Great for the price point. read more

Me and my Daughter will always find a reason to stop in and grab an Acai bowl. After surfing at the pier, walking on the strand or riding our bikes. We'll always Stop by Paradise Bowls for a Small Razz Party. (Small is still a big serving) Theres usually always a line, no matter the time of day, so pack your patience. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. read more

Absolutely loved the guacho bowl I got this morning. The best part was the strawberries, they were perfectly ripe. 5 stars for location, 5 stars for customer service. 4 stars for the base not being very thick/frozen and it being diluted with many other fruits in addition to açaí. read more

This is our absolute favorite place in So Cal to get an açaí bowl. Fresh, fast, and delicious!

Slow! Slow! Slow! Make sure you have a lot of time on your hands if you go there as I think they're growing the bananas in the back.

I'm giving it a 2 because the bowls actually are tasty but I wish their customer service matched their taste. It's a hit n miss. Almost like they're bothered you're there. Out of the 5 times I've been there, 3 could've used some training read more

I happened to find a parking spot directly in front of Paradise Bowls and the line + people's bowls caught my eye, so I decided to try it out. I got the Guacho bowl which was delicious (it was a bit too sweet for my taste, so next time I might opt out for the honey). I'll definitely be back the next time I am in Manhattan Beach! read more

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The açaí bowls are delicious and the fruit is incredibly so fresh. I have went to both the Hermosa and Manhattan locations. Both locations satisfy me every time I go, it's always so fresh and made to perfection! I would say this is the best place to get açaí bowls. I've tried other places in the past but nothing compares to the quality and flavors Paraide Bowls has to offer. I love the variety of açaí bowl options there is. My two favorite bowls are "Gaucho" and "Coconut Breeze" they are my go-to's. I have yet to try the other bowls that look amazing! I love how the employees working here really care about their customers and make the bowls look so aesthetically pleasing and perfect. read more

Usually the bowls are great. However, I not sure if they are trying to cut costs, but to charge an additional $1.25 add-on for Coccia nibs on a bowl and get less than a small thimble full hardly inspires me to return. I'm going to try a nearby competitor next week. read more

Breezy beach vibes, kind staff, cramped but tidy storefront. It is a shame that the smoothie bowls were not as stellar as the service. Of the 3 smoothie bowls that we ordered, not a single one tasted like what it was supposed to. In fact, all three bowls had predominantly the same ambiguous flavor... Guava Sunrise, Peach Bum, and Base Tan. Between GS and PB, it makes absolutely no difference which was ordered because the smoothie base looked and tasted the same-- dusty pink in color and indistinguishable in taste, mostly flavorless... when we all know that guava and peach flavors are very distinct. The only distinct flavor in the BT bowl was the apple juice . Strawberries also weren't sweet . Unfortunately, it's a pass for us on Paradise bowls. read more

My daughter loves Paradise bowls. Fresh and flavorful. But after what I saw today, I will reconsider going here in the future. While there the last 2 times, while waiting, I've noticed that the girls don't put their hair back while working with the food. It just hangs there. One young blonde girl in particular used her gloved finger/hand several times to push her hair behind her ear and continued working with the food- not changing the gloves. GROSS!! Also when she came over to give food to some customers she did it again and didn't change them. And just was flipping her hair to keep it out of her face. I believe that when working with food you should have your hair in a pony tail... I mentioned something to the cashier but it did nothing and the girl didn't change gloves or put her hair back: read more

Ordered a bowl. Açaí filled maybe 10-20% of bowl; remainder with granola and fruit. They forgot the peanut butter, so offered to add a scoop on top. Tossed it after a few spoonful past the fruit. Just didn't taste good. read more

Great açaí bowl place in Manhattan Beach. We always stop by when we're in the area or at the beach. We order a medium Gaucho with no honey to share. The shop is small with no seating so takeout only and there's usually a short wait. The fruit and granola is plentiful and the açaí is nicely blended and flavorful.

This place is FIRE. I'm not even a particularly big acai fan, but I find myself regularly craving it. They have tons of different customizable options for bases and toppings to build your own bowl, so there's something for everyone. I personally am really bad at making decisions, so I always end up just ordering one of their signature bowls. Peach Bum is definitely my go to, however if you are a chocolate lover, I definitely recommend getting the "Chocolate Arc". They've got all the classic add ons (berries, bananas, granola, honey, almond butter), as well as some more interesting ones (pitaya, cacao nibs, bee pollen). I can tell all their ingredients are extremely high quality, and the combination of flavors and toppings is sooo good. I've tried finding something similar that's closer to my neighborhood, but sadly nothing can compare. Definitely give this place a try when you're at the beach, even if you're a bit of a smoothie bowl skeptic. I used to be one myself, but I've been swayed for sure! read more

I've been coming here for years. My favorite açaí bowl is the coconut breeze / favorite pitaya(dragon fruit) bowl is Maui Wow Me. It has pitaya as the base with mango on top, honey, blueberries, bee pollen and bananas. If you're vegan they can sub those things out. It's fresh fruit and made to order. Since the pandemic they have gone up on their price $3 which sucks but I still support. read more

I got a small peach bum (~$8)!!! (Hmmm...) It was overall a solid and tasty acai bowl with pretty average toppings (coconut, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, granola etc). It's no Blue Bowl but it'll get the job done and it's perfect to take on the beach and enjoy. Very refreshing! read more
