Acai Bowl
Ria P.

Roots and rye may be like my new recent obsession. I fear I have gone so much that the guy on Lake just says extra granola right before I even say it and walk in. Anyways it's so so good. I could probably eat this everyday and not get tired of it. The overnight oats, acai, and granola are all just so yummy and it genuinely is the best acai bar with unlimited toppings!

Two dairy-free acai bowls with toppings like strawberries, blueberries, granola, and seeds are placed on a white countertop.

My daughter recommended this place to me. She had açaí bowls with her friend. It's my first time. I ordered a small açaí bowl. The base I chose was overnight oats, young coconut, strawberries, and blueberries. For toppings, I had pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and cinnamon. The açaí bowl tastes so good and filling. That was my quick lunch and got energized. The service was prompt and easy.

I went to Roots & Rye yesterday. I got a small acai bowl. The base for my acai bowl included pitaya. The toppings for my acai bowl included a mix of berries, nuts, overnight oats, granola, seeds, beeswax, honey, and peanut butter. I was highly satified with the bowl I had. Every ingredient looked great. I didn't much enjoy the flavor or texture of the overnight oats and the beeswax.

Pretty solid acai spot. I love how customizable the bowls are. Picking and chooses from a plethora of toppings is always great. That way, you can get exactly what you want. There's an abundance of delicious, diverse toppings, which is what makes Roots & Rye stand out. I'm knocking off a star due to the quality of the ingredients. The acai is the frozen, sherbert-like ice-cream type. Not my preference when it comes to acai. And the bananas and strawberries were a little underripe. Still tasty! And I loved being able to add protein powder, peanut butter, and cacao nibs on top. So this is a good, quick acai bowl stop if you're looking for swift service, and customizabilty.

The acai bowls here are so refreshing, and I love all the options. I got a small and you can mix and match the bases. I got Blue Majik, Acai, and chia pudding as the bases. The fruits offered are bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. They also have a good selection of granolas, nut butters, etc to choose from. This is a small shop, definitely a place to pick up your order.

I've had roots & rye plenty of times and they never disappoint! Their acai bowls and smoothies are customizable. The fruits and veggies taste fresh. I typically order the acai smoothie and acai bowl. I like how they offer unlimited toppings and add ons. The store was clean and service was friendly!

My friend introduced me to this spot and no other açaí place can't compare for me. My go to combo for the base is chia pudding and açaí. Top it with blueberries, strawberries, and bananas. This is a straightforward shop. Order and enjoy your açaí outside in the sun. Service is met with a smile and efficiency. Another great combo

Base: Matcha, Acai, and Chia Pudding (ask to sample the bases to see what you like!) - A multi-layered acai bowl in a clear plastic cup, topped with banana, berries, and other toppings, held by a person's hand.

I recently have discovered how much I love Acai bowls! So I was excited to try a new spot in Pasadena when I was in the area. Parking here was difficult, this location is located in central Pasadena (near Lake) and every time I am in this area it gives me such high stress and anxiety because the drivers here seemed to be impatient and reckless as they drive in the city. The parking lot behind the row of businesses were packed. This was on a Friday night around 7pm. After 10 mins of circling the area, we finally found a spot. Once we got in, I wondered if they were open. It was dimly lit and really quiet inside. It looked like a ghost town, where there was no one in sight. Maybe I came during an off-peak time? The worker sitting in the way back saw us and came over and helped us with our order. This process was fast and I appreciated that, it was nicely packed with all the toppings and I was excited to try it out! I wished there were more options for fruits; there were only strawberries, bananas, and blueberries (maybe by the time I was there all the other ones were sold out?) My base had the matcha, acai, and chia pudding. I love matcha and this matcha felt like it punched me in the face to let me know they were invited to the party and acai and chia pudding were just there as decoration. I wished there was a better balance between the flavors (maybe I should've asked to try a sample) but not the stores fault. Now I know to probably stick to just the acai base. It was good but it didn't wow me, I don't think I'll go out of the way to come here but if I am by chance then I wouldn't mind stopping in

Green Tea, Coconut, and Chia Pudding

All I have to say is this place sets my bar high for acai bowls bc everything on it is so fresh and the portions are so generous. Like each small bowl is barely $10 for unlimited toppings. None of that $1 for each extra topping!

Blue majik
Amy L.

Small açaí shop on lake. I like their blue majik flavor (coconut, mango, pineapple, and blue algae(?)) because the texture is smoother than the açaí (which gets kinda icy). Blue majik does melt faster though, fyi. Unlimited toppings. Small bench in front of the store to sit at and people/traffic watch while you eat :)

Miranda C.

A solid acai bowl place. Classic base and topping options. They scoop and get your bowl out to you pretty quickly. I wish there were some tables inside or outside to sit and enjoy the bowl.

Melissa P.

Love the build it yourselves concept, unlimited toppings too! Overall, love how generous they are l with the base and toppings. Service here is super friendly and helpful. Ambiance is no frills and to the point. Ordered two medium bowls online totaling $27.98, and appreciated how they kept it in the freezer until I came by to pick up. The cacao nibs were super good!!

The workstation was clean, and the service I received made the whole experience even better. Truly A1 from start to finish. 10/10!!I'll definitely be recommending this spot to everyone!

I went big with a large bowl loaded with blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, and mango, and I swear I got actual goosebumps watching them slice the strawberries fresh. That's how you know it's about to be good!!!!! Then I went full topping gremlin: shredded coconut, chopped almonds, goji berries, both granolas (because choosing is for the weak), almond butter, honey, and pumpkin seeds. Absolute perfection!!! Every bite was a moment!!!! Shoutout to Daisy, who absolutely understood the assignment and made my bowl with love!! There's no indoor seating, but they've got a few cute little tables outside... perfect for sitting there in silence, deeply in love with your açai!!! Ubatuba is hands down one of my favorite açai spots in the SGV because you control the base-to-topping ratio (as it should be), and their honey?? So good!!! Super floral, slightly magical, and honestly unforgettable. I'm obsessed!!!!

As an acai bowl snob, this place definitely gets my 2 thumbs up…read more I love finding new modern day acai bowl places. By modern day, I mean places where they have funky flavors for bases, interesting and unlimited toppings. Not the simple brazilian style where acai/pitaya are the only base options, and the only toppings are the holy trinity (strawberry, blueberry, bananas). It was a little confusing at first, because you order at the register on the right side, then make your way left to customize your bowl..? I was a little confused at first. I thought it was so cool that they had an ube flavored base, and it was so creamy and delicious. The toppings available were akin to what you'd find at somewhere like Roots and Rye or Blue Bowl. Everything tasted so refreshing. Lots of outdoor tables available, and a few indoor ones. Staff is really friendly, and if I'm ever in the Eagle Rock area I'm definitely stopping by here again!

I was craving a cold treat but my tummy and ice cream are not friends so I decided to have açaí…read moreinstead. Bowl Berry is a family-owned business that was established in HLP in 2014. They've since opened another location in Redondo Beach. This spot is quite popular. I always see people outside when I drive by. The staff here are friendly. Inside is cozy with limited seating, but there is also a patio area out front. They offer Açaí & Pitaya Bowls, Smoothies, Juices, pre-packaged snacks and beverages to go. I ordered a mini acai bowl, which comes with 3 toppings. ($6.51) Larger bowls come with 7 toppings and 1 nut butter. Way too much for me. The tropical acai sounded good, so I got that with fresh blueberries, chocolate granola, & chocolate pebbles. It was so yummy and also the perfect amount. *Rewards program *Metered street parking or residential.
