You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

I'm a hater, I hate to admit it but I love un influencing these instagram/tik tok famous places. So…read moreoften they end up being a trend based on good marketing tactics which is amazing but good marketing doesn't mean good flavor and good service. In this case yes the bowl was OK was but was no better than the 3 other bowl places within a mile of this location. The wait was LONG as for many of the bowl places on this street but this one was extra long as in 45 minutes to an hour wait on off hours long. And of course with all these tik tok famous places the price was inflated. Based on taste alone I could have given this place 4 starts but the extra tik tok tax(inflated price just for being TikTok trendy) and extra wait time for the exact same thing you can get anywhere else rubbed me wrong so I'm going to have to leave this 3 star right here.

I can tell he tries to remember every face that comes in and he was kind enough to remedy the situation today when I was waiting for it and one of the other workers didn't know it was for me and put it in the fridge. I will continue coming back to support this business! They are consistent with their bowls and smoothies too which is great!

Everbowl -- Loma Portal, San Diego…read more Back in my natural habitat. Ordered the Large PB Everbowl because confidence was high and hunger was higher. Respectfully... the large fought back. Let's start with the good. Flavor? Solid. Peanut butter showed up like a starter, not a bench player. Ingredients were fresh, clean, and legit. Now the audit. The ratios on the large made mixing feel like a CrossFit session. I was excavating toppings only to discover a thick reserve of untouched açaí at the bottom. Structurally ambitious. Practically challenging. Professional recommendation: Order the medium. Better balance. Better blend. Less archaeological digging. The base leaned a little heavy for my personal preference -- not bad, just dense. Some people like that. I prefer flow. Now... the headline. The Staff!! 6/5. I don't hand those out casually. Friendly. Fast. Honest. Elite banter. The kind of service that makes you want to become a regular immediately. Would I go back? For the bowl? Yes. For the staff? Immediately. Rating 3.8 / 5 Açaí Berries Breakdown Taste: 4/5 Ingredients: 4/5 Ratios: 3/5 Service: 6/5 Vibes: 5/5 Current Status: Medium over Large Lesson Learned: Size matters. Mix wisely. -- The Açaí Guy

After my last review and the owner's response, I tried to get in contact with Ricardo to ensure…read morethere was clarity with what actually happened which was very different than what his employee told him. I called yesterday and they told me he had already left for the day, and I called this morning and after a bit I was able to get ahold of him. He kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain to him what actually happened. He was rude and condescending during the call. I explained to him that when I tried to exchange the mango smoothies for an actual agua Fresca that I had actually initially ordered and paid for, that his employee took them and refunded me before he explained to me that he was going to refund me. I was trying to exchange 2 of the 3 I had bought and paid for. But the employee took them and tossed them into the trash behind the counter before he told me he wouldn't sell me anything else and kicked me out. At the same time, my son was outside with the drink he decided to keep and we didn't try to exchange. When the employee kicked me out I told him I was trying to buy others, but he wouldn't let me, told me to get out, so I left and told him I'd be leaving a review. For some reason he refunded me all 3 aguas ($15). I never asked for any of that, he just did it. It seemed that the owner and the employee both had an issue with the fact that my son kept the drink that he had outside. I'm really not sure what they expected me to do after I was kicked out. Did they want me to take it from him and throw it away? This has all been a very strange set of interactions. Luckily Señor Mangos and Anakin's aren't too far away. I can head there and order sugarless agua frescas and have never had an issue the dozens of times we've been there, either with the service of the taste. They are delicious and always so kind. If I were you, I'd steer clear of this place and go elsewhere.

I ordered a Banana Boat (+Plant Based Chocolate Protein) smoothie. It's 16 oz. It tastes really good! The only thing I would do (and this is just cause I live strawberries) would be to add strawberries and give it a sweet taste. I'll ask if I can do an add in the next time I swing by. I came around 8:40-8:50 am and my smoothie was ready within 5ish minutes of me ordering it. They have a few chairs and tables outside and some seating inside so you can plan to stay and enjoy your order if you'd like. It's not that far from my Pilates studio so I can definitely see myself returning here on my way home from working out in the morning.

I was really craving an açaí bowl on a hot day and came across this spot. It's a small place with a…read morefew indoor seats (no tables) and some outdoor tables. Inside, there's a narrow bar-style counter that's fine for a drink, but not really practical for a laptop, so it's not the best setup for studying or working unless you sit outside. I ordered the tropical bowl, and while it was definitely delicious, it felt a bit overpriced. Another downside was how it was served, the portion size was decent, but the bowl itself was quite small, making it hard to dig in without spilling granola or coconut flakes. It made the whole experience a little inconvenient. Overall, I'm a bit on the fence. Part of me wants to come back and give it another try, but I'm not completely convinced yet.

If you're visiting like me, do yourself a favor and make the trip. You won't regret it.

Just a heads up, the lines can get long during lunch or on a sunny day, and parking in North Park can be a bit of a mission. I usually call in my order, which makes it way easier. Overall, amazing fruit, food & fresh drinks. a spot I'll always keep coming back to.

It's a dirty side walk outside with a lot of angry people waiting for their orders also. Okay just got the order at 1:19. Come a half hour late and save yourself the aggravation.

Ordered ahead via the app and it was ready on time, the store was completely empty on a weekday right after opening. The girl working was nice Got the Everbowl (regular size), and it was big enough to split with my sister. I loved the açaí base, it was the perfect consistency. Love how there's also so much fresh fruit and crunchy granola. We also got the avocado toast, and I liked the flavoring but wasn't a fan of the honey. The bread was also a bit burnt in the corner. Everything was a bit pricey but good. I will definitely come back for the açaí bowls!

Happy New Year !!!…read more Time for an updated review and what way to start the year right than with a healthy treat! ! Everbowl is my go-to spot close to work for something light, nutritious, and delish! This time around I got the popular Everbowl with acai, granola, bananas, strawberry, and blueberry. Always fresh and hits! I love that they list the calories of each bowl so you know whether to be naughty or nice. Today I was in a "being good" mood. One of the best things about Everbowl is the customization. You can change up ingredients from the bases to toppings. Combinations are endless! They have fun signature bowls like Nutty Butty, Blue Lagoon, and Full Moon. They also have Whatever bowls, smoothies, toasts, sips, and even some food items and "take-me-homes." There's honestly something for everyone. You can also order ahead and schedule a pick up if that's your jam! Great Mission Valley location with easy parking, indoor and outdoor seating, restrooms and super friendly staff. Perfect pick-me-up especially in the summer, but I'll still grab one in any season. Giving 4 stars only because prices have gone up (RIP $8 unlimited toppings), but the quality is still solid and vegan-friendly. Healthy, refreshing, and worth it!
