First time. I'll be back. So delicious. Quite refreshing. Nice employees. Super helpful. Clean store. Good vibe.
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!
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.
Classic smoothies and açaí / pitaya bowl spot in downtown Manhattan Beach. Simple straight forward menu, small storefront with an ordering counter. Take your order and enjoy it at the beach! Limited metered parking around the area.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cute little storefront serving fresh drinks and bowls! It takes a minute to make since it's all made to order, but is right on the beachfront and a great place to hang out.
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!
First time trying this location and it was great, just like the Hermosa Beach one. Got the chocolate arc açaí bowl 10/10 It had the perfect texture and taste, it also wasn't too runny. The strand smoothie 9/10 Customer service 10/10 Definitely will be back to try different items. read more

Hi Ariana, thank you so much for giving our location a try and for…
Delicious acai bowls. However, my bowl did not have much acai in it and was mostly filled with strawberry and banana (disappointing as that is what I paid for; compared to my friend's bigger choc arc bowl that is basically overflowing). Price is average for typical acai bowls in the area but given that they skimped on the acai, i'd say not worth it. Small location near the beach so it has a very laid back atmosphere with a beautiful view. Service is below average (given that my bowl was disappointing and was mostly fruit). read more

Hi Chloe, really appreciate you sharing this with us! You came in for…
Classic smoothie bowl right in the heart of Manhattan beach. Severely understaffed which made our waits for bowls on a Saturday more than 30 mins. A ton of options with customizable choices. I did get some frozen fruit chunks in my bowl and it was filled only halfway. I've had great bowls here in the past but could work on consistency read more

Tried to go here after my favorite acai place closed down and I feel skimped out of my money. Majority of my bowl consisted of a ton of granola and fruit. Very disappointing and needs to be corrected for the price of money people are spending 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! Service was friendly and fast! Also they just open a new one in Marina del rest! This spot is definitely going to be a new favorite! 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

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

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
