Ya know, it's weird that this has been in my drafts for forever. But I like this place. I like that…read morethey were down with the açaí bowl situation before it was cool (or at least, before it became de rigeur and/or spread to the damp and drippy PNW). I started chowing down on smoothie bowls in sunny southern California and the majorest of major metros like Manhattan, and it seems like it took forever for the "trend" to spread to our rainy neck of the woods. One could certainly get wheatgrass shots every which where, but smoothie bowls, not so much. ANYWAY, Carioca Bowls was leading the vanguard of delish and genuine açaí bowls in PDX long before it was an expected food variety in all hippie-ish towns in the US. Their bowls meet my exacting ingredient standards: Now that smoothie bowls have gone mainstream, many are just lightly disguised dessert with "health food" marketing: Hidden sweeteners and grody additives pushed on the unsuspecting hoi polloi ruin it for people who don't do their homework. But not Carioca Bowls: You can ACTUALLY get an unsweetened açaí bowl if that's your jam (it's mine: If I wanted dessert, I'd get a cupcake), and they don't drown the top in honey (honey has its place, and that place is far away from me), and drink in the extremely second-wave granola vibes while you're at it. Third-wave hippie food, like third-wave coffee shops, have suffered a loss of soul: Minimalist design, LED lighting, and cookie-cutter staff with vaseline smiles beckoning "welcome in!" with vacant looks in their eyes have sapped a lot of the joy from the spaces serving hippie food and matcha tea. Carioca Bowls remains a comfortingly messy, quirky callback to sincerity: Murals, houseplants, low lighting, a big messy garden-y space outdoors for sitting and chowing, organic unfussy aesthetics that make the whole scene just feel welcoming and comfy. You can eat your bowl here and not feel like you're a nuisance to the staff, or like there's a glaring spotlight on you (unlike SOME smoothie/juice/bowl places I could mention). Nary a whiff of extruded white plastic ANYWHERE in this place. It makes me feel at home, the way a wheatgrass-sniffin', long-hair-havin', big-hug-givin' hippie should feel. When I walk through the door, I feel RELAXED, ya know what I mean? Anyway, give it a try - this isn't my 'hood but I will still occasionally make a pilgrimage just to get a bowl and drink in the vibes. So if I were writing a Michelin guide (buy those tires!) I suppose I'd give this at least a star, as it's worth a special trip (IF you're into what I've described here - it's highly specific, but it's MY vibe). Anyway, long live Carioca Bowls!

Carioca Bowls -- Portland, OR…read more Hard for me not to be biased here. Richard and his crew are massive supporters of the Portland Pilots Men's Basketball program, and loyalty matters. That said--support alone doesn't earn berries. After 8 months in Portland, I've unintentionally become an Açaí connoisseur. I've tasted bowls that are icy, overly sweet, under-blended, and frankly... fraudulent. Carioca Bowls is none of that. Let's be clear: this is the standard. My go-to order is the Rose City Bowl (add peanut butter)--a move I highly recommend to anyone serious about their craft. The balance is elite. The texture is smooth but substantial. Every ingredient earns its place. Is this the best Açaí bowl in the world? Honestly... it might be. But the mission is bigger than Portland. I'm on a global quest to find the best Açaí bowl on the planet--and for now, Carioca Bowls is the bar everyone else is chasing. Rating 4.9 / 5 Açaí Berries (Perfect scores are reserved.

Not sure if that's intentional, but I'm used to açaí being a little more on the firm side. The saving grace was the whipped coconut cream on top - that is definitely unique and tasted amazing. Also loved the honey drizzle on top since the açaí was just, I don't know, missing something. Didn't have any tang or sweetness to it. Kind of disappointing, but kind of ok.

When we arrived, we saw that the space inside was small. There were only a couple of chairs and a bar to sit, though there was ample seating outside. We were impressed by the variety in their menu. I wanted their sorbet, the Maui Waui, and P2 ordered their Mango Colada smoothie. Both were delicious when we got them. I was particularly impressed by the Maui Waui, and for a $3 scoop, I thought it was a fantastic value. Since I have a dairy allergy, I always appreciate when shops offer at least one sorbet/non-dairy ice cream option. We were able to snag the inside seats while we were there and enjoyed the chill vibe of the place. They sold some additional products on a wall near where we were sitting, and although several people did come by to look at these products, we never felt cramped in the corner with them. All in all, we enjoyed our experience at Oasis Cafe and wouldn't hesitate to return if we're ever in the area again!
