I walk by this spot quite often, so I needed to give it a try. I am glad I stopped in! The staff is so friendly and helpful recommending exactly what I need. They have a lot of options, so it was nice to have their recommendations to help. The smoothies and acai bowls can take a little long to be made, they are a small shop and have a lot of customers at once, so be prepared to wait if you come! The smoothies are super thick and rich in flavor, and they give you a lot of everything! Keep that in mind when you're ordering, because some flavors (peanut butter) can be more powerful and dominating than others! But it's still so delicious and I can't wait to drop back in to try something new! read more

I had a really disappointing experience here today mainly due to the attitude of one employee. When I first came in the woman who helped me was very friendly and welcoming. She greeted me right away and even recommended a smoothie which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the smoothie itself wasn't blended well and had large chunks of fruit and ice, making it difficult to drink through the straw. Since the shop wasn't busy and the smoothie was over $12 I politely asked if it could be blended a little more. The man working there (white pants, black shirt, black bandana, glasses) rolled his eyes, stared at me and said in a rude tone, "I can't blend your smoothie I'd have to make a whole new one." His attitude made me feel uncomfortable for even asking so I said "ok just forget about it." He responded with "ok good" and walked away. I completely understand if there's a policy about not re-blending drinks after they've been served. That's not the issue. The issue was the unnecessary attitude toward a customer who was being polite. I ended up leaving the smoothie there and wasting my money. Hopefully management sees this and addresses how customers are treated. read more

Cute little store at the corner of the street near two other smoothie/acai shops. I got a huge smoothie for $10 which is a steal nowadays. I wasn't able to finish it though, so I wish there were additional sizes. The cup was so flimsy I thought I'd squeeze too hard and have the cap explode or my drink overfill. I got a Tropical Bliss & it was a good smoothie but nothing special or life-changing! read more

DON'T be in a Rush! Quality and healthy stuff takes time to prepare. I've learned to come with patience or call ahead. It gets busy. This place is a vibe of healthy drinking and way better then Jamba juice. Relax and enjoy the quality ingredients on a warm sunny day. read more

Decided to give this place a try since I was grabbing lunch with my husband. Located in Oakland, expect to find street parking which can be tough so there may be a bit of a walk. Upon coming in, the employees were a bit busy chatting with each other to welcome their guests inside. I got the choco-strawberry bowl and my husband got the power bowl. I was a bit disappointed because I expected maybe some fruit on top, but I had a big blob of almond butter on top. In the end the bowls were okay in taste, but the big blob of almond butter honestly ruined the bowl itself for me. I will say that the bowl itself is very big so it definitely can fill you up. read more

I have been seeing this place all over TikTok and I live close by and decided to try. I am really picky when it comes to bowls especially smoothies. But Rush Bowl knocked it out the park. I ordered the PB&J bowl and everything balanced out very well. This is a nice treat to have and I am so happy I tried this spot. I also want to highlight they are super dog friendly! I brought my dog here and was even able to order her a bowl. Staff was super sweet and was happy to answer any questions I had. Really excited to go back and be a regular. read more

The Peach Pump is my go-to. It is beyond delicious, not too sweet but gets the job done and is just under 300 calories. I'm also a fan of the banana bread bites. There are four in a pack. My dog likes the Bow Wow Bowl as well. Like many smoothie shops, they have a reward system. I've been less than 10x, but more than 5x and received a half off of a smoothie reward the last time I went. Another perk here is that you can make any smoothie into a bowl, or bowl into a smoothie. I chose to make the High Tide bowl into a smoothie just to get away from my normal Peach Pump. The blue spiralina caught my eyes and I wanted to try it. Service is fast. There seems to normally be just about two people working, sometimes three. The ambiance is very casual. Seating is typical of a smoothie shop - limited, and they set a table and two chairs outside of the shop as well. Coming here after a dog walk is a perk for my dog because she acts sooo thirsty and takes full advantage of the water bowl. I love that they paid attention to their community and set that outside. I also wanna add that I am huge Tropical Smoothie Cafe fan and every time I go out of town to some place that has them I always go there. I've missed them over the years, having not had one near me in over 14 years, but Rush Bowls is a fine replacement, and the sting of missing TPC is far less now that Rush Bowls is around. read more

I will definitely be back read more

5 stars for quality and delivery. Let's go ! Ok so I've never actually been inside the location . I found them on Yelp looking for a smoothie at work . I found them and when I seen all the options they had to offer I was sold ! So many options of drinks and substitutes or extras ! Anyone can find something to order from them . My favorite to get is the southern lemon extra honey! They package it very well there's no way it can spill which I appreciate. Only a driver can mess that up . Very secure. And you can literally order any drink how you want it ! I'll have to check the store front out but for as many times I've ordered from here I'm always happy and satisfied. Must try . read more

Rush Bowls - The atmosphere - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Oakland, California

For $10, my smoothie is huge and delicious. Love the localization with Oakland love in a national chain. They do bowls and smoothies of many different kinds here. One thing to note is that some of the smoothies have frozen yogurt, but you can remove it. I went with a super protein one with fruit, kale,protein powder and peanut butter and it was really good. They had a few customers waiting,, so it took a little longer than expected but the ladies working here were nice, helpful and always love a 'thanks for your patience' attitude. Overall, if you're looking for a smoothie/bowl for a meal, this will definitely satisfy. read more

Sunday afternoon. The wait is WAY too long and they are understaffed. 2 employees only working. People are waiting an hour just to get their orders. read more

3.5 rating This is not an Acai bowl. It is a smoothie bowl. I ordered the summit bowl via DoorDash. Minimal ingredients but a good portion. The entire bowl tasted like cinnamon, guessing it was the granola. They use a lot of milk. If this were rebranded as a smoothie bowl and not an acai bowl it would get a 5/5. Would pay a few $ more for more toppings that are included. read more

Delicious and more reasonably priced than other places. My kid is definitely going to ask to return.

Their bowls are so delicious! I like that you can customize and add what you like. I can't part from the pb & j with the Freshly ground pb on the top. I'm always pleased with what ever I decide to get when I come here. Friendly service, excellent quality and portions. read more

Rush Bowls - Power Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Oakland, California

"Versatile and satisfy anyone's palate." - Owners words. Agreed! 100% always very happy when stopping in. My family and I now frequent the area and when we get that craving-- we all agree to come to Rush Bowls! Parking: Street parking, meter or find an open street parking. There are other businesses so it can get challenging, but definitely not horrible. Walking in you're immediately greeted, by every single employee! I love when the experience is just as great as the food item. All the staff that I have encountered have been so helpful, with their descriptions or take on each item. Do not be shy! They are all so knowledgeable and friendly. Menu is either a bowl or a smoothie with tons of great add-ins. Bowls and smoothies are both delicious. Their menu combinations work and it really does satisfy everyone's palate. Sweeter combinations is what my daughter orders and i personally like less sweet. We both can easily find something. The granola is sooo good here! Not too sweet and super light and crunchy! Pro Tip: sign up on their app. read more

Rush Bowls - Aloha bowl, custom and paradise bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Oakland, California

I love the acai bowls here, the fruit is always so fresh and I love the customization options. Unfortunately, the service and consistency aren't up to par. 9/10 times, whatever employee I interact with will not smile or make eye contact and honestly seems miserable being there. It's a little off-putting! On top of that, the amount of toppings they put on is entirely dependent on the employee it seems. Despite paying extra for toppings, you may or may not get them depending on the day. It's really too bad, otherwise this would be my favorite acai spot in the east bay!! read more

If you haven't tried Rush Bowls, you're seriously missing out. From their smoothies to their smoothie bowls (and everything in between), they've got the kind of refreshing, flavorful treats that leave you coming back for more. Every sip and spoonful bursts with freshness. The fruit tastes real, not muddled or overpowered by ice, and the texture is silky and smooth, not chunky or icy. Whether you go classic or load up with boosters and mix-ins, it all blends beautifully. Their bowls are generous, satisfying, and visually appealing too. You can tell they care about presentation as much as taste. Rush Bowls nails the "make it your own" vibe. You can tweak things to your taste: add protein, pick your mix‑ins, adjust sweetness, or make it dairy‑free. This flexibility makes it perfect for people with different dietary preferences. read more

So today I was walking up 17th on my way from grabbing my wife from her class at Laney College and we decided to stop and grab a smoothie. Little did we know we would meet Owen and Kenny who were absolutely phenomenal. Not only did they greet us when we first walked through the door, but they made awesome conversation and explaining to us what the the menu were. Our drinks came out amazing and they even gave us the little bit of extra on the side for our kid. This place is not only affordable, it's delicious and it's ran by phenomenal people. Thank you for today. We will be back. read more

Rush Bowls - Beach Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Oakland, California

I found this spot on social media and it has been lingering in my places to try till I was in the neighborhood to check it out. I walked in about 25 minutes before closing and asked if I could order and the lady said yes. I checked the menu out and the cashier asked if I had any questions. I asked for their most popular acai bowl and she recommended The Beach. I ordered 2 with peanut butter on both. Additional toppings are an extra charge like in most places. I was the only person in the store and took a seat. The space is spacious and has plenty of tables to sit down and enjoy your item. There's a variety of items on the menu. Blender working in the background and wasn't super loud for being the only person in the shop. Items were prepared in a timely manner and I was in and out. I couldn't wait to eat it so I took several bites before I drove off. Acai was a delicious blend. Not tart. It can be eaten and enjoyed without any toppings. Granola adds the nice crunch and I love my peanut butter so that just adds texture and flavor to the overall bowl. Would have enjoyed some bananas and strawberries to come in a standard acai but all is good for an acai bowl with good flavor. Prices are about the same as most other acai bowl places if you add more toppings. Service was good. Attentive and efficient. Parking is street parking. Limited in the area. Definitely will stop by when in the area. read more

Hubby and I have been wanting bowls for a while and I remember seeing Rush Bowls on Yelp when I was looking around for Acai bowls around the area. The day before, Hubby and I went over their menu to see what we wanted to order, since I was planning on ordering online for pick up. I know there wouldn't be any parking around the area, so we planned ahead with what we want to order so that we can get it placed in ASAP after doing errands. Hubby and I both got a bowl and a smoothie. We ordered a Power bowl, a Yoga bowl, a PB Crunch and a Peach Pump. The smoothies was sooo delicious! I really enjoyed it. I wish I was able to choose what size I wanted as the size they provide was big. I wasn't able to eat my bowl until later that night. Everything was super yummy! I know I had wanted an Acai based bowl but I don't know why I always do this to myself and order something different. We will most definitely be back and I will get the Acai bowl this time! read more
