Palmetto Superfoods has become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving something refreshing,…read morefilling, and actually made with quality ingredients. Their açaí bowls are some of the best I've had in the Bay Area. You can tell they take pride in using authentic Brazilian açaí, and I love how customizable everything is. The fruit is always fresh, the toppings are generous, and the bowls strike that perfect balance of feeling indulgent while still being packed with wholesome ingredients.

I was casually walking around Downtown Burlingame and decided to walk into Palmetto Superfoods…read moresince I saw a sign about the Matcha Chill line. Palmetto is known for its açaí bowls but I was curious to try a matcha drink. For a Monday afternoon, the shop was pretty empty and the staff was working on things in the back. There are a couple tables available for use and they were all vacant during my visit. There was a self-serve kiosk by the entrance to place orders and it took a while for the staff to come out to start preparing my order. The Matcha Chill Latte was described to have premium Japanese matcha powder from Uji blended with water, sea salt, vanilla extract, oat milk, and agave. This sounded more like a frappe than a latte and sure enough my drink was blended like a smoothie. The matcha flavor was evident but the agave made it taste sweet without being overly sweet but to the point it didn't taste quite like an authentic Japanese matcha drink. It was also weird that shortly after receiving my blended drink it looked like the contents were already separating. The drink was also a bit pricey for the size of the cup. I would not get anything from the Matcha Chill line at Palmetto Superfoods again and would rather go to a place which specializes in matcha to fulfill my matcha cravings. It is definitely best to stick with the açaí at Palmetto's.

Literally just got back from Rio and have been trying all the stores around to find some good acai…read more This place has the most legit tasting acai blend between SF and SJ by far! I'm pretty sure I came here 3 days in a row. This shop seems pretty new, but if I was to make any suggestions I would recommend getting a soft-serve machine for dispensing to keep the acai texture smoother. The ice cream tubs seem to encourage the formation of larger ice crystals which can make the center a bit crunchy.

My wife found out about this place when looking for some Açaí in the area and I'm so glad we came…read moreacross it. We haven't had Açaí bowls in a long time and this was the perfect way to reintroduce our "addiction". You start out by choosing your first base, it is filled up half way and then you can put your first layer of toppings. From there you add in your second layer of açaí and top it off with more toppings. I didn't think that a soursop base would make that much of a difference, but now it is my new favorite. The açaí was delicious and I'll have to come back again to try some of the other combinations.

This is not my first time to this location, let's see how it went:…read more Parking is minimal at best, few spaces in the back lot and street side only. Inside is a modestly lit atmosphere which works well for what they are trying to achieve. The service was nice and friendly . The food here is great, mixed with some cultural favorites as well. The Citrus bar is outstanding also. Nice job on the fresh veggies and citrus bar combo.

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at Sweet Citrus in Burlingame. My order was…read moremade incorrectly, and when I politely explained that I had received the wrong drink, I was told I would have to pay for a replacement instead of having the mistake corrected. I want to be clear that this is not a reflection of the staff. They were polite and were simply following the rules set by management. My disappointment is with the policy itself. I'm currently pregnant, and because of my nausea, there are only a few specific drinks I can tolerate. This particular drink has been one of the few things that actually helps, so receiving the wrong order wasn't just a minor inconvenience. I simply wanted the drink I had ordered and paid for. After posting my review, I received a response saying that if I had mentioned my pregnancy and that I couldn't tolerate another drink, they would have replaced it. While I appreciate the response, I don't believe customers should have to explain personal circumstances to have an incorrect order corrected. Whether someone is pregnant, has dietary restrictions, allergies, or no special circumstances at all, if a business makes a mistake and prepares the wrong order, it should simply be replaced. I've been to many other drink shops, and even when a customer simply doesn't like a drink, they're often happy to remake it. In this case, the mistake wasn't mine, yet I was expected to pay again. That level of customer service was surprising and very disappointing. I hope management reconsiders this policy, because every customer deserves to receive the correct order without having to justify why it matters.

AMBIANCE: Very small location with limited seating (3 seats). More of a grab and go type of place…read more Wanted to try samples of the juice, but the sample cups outside looked dirty/used? FOOD: Definitely more of an expensive place for acai bowls. My friend got their smaller soft-serve style version ($8) and the inside was unfortunately hallow. I got their original acai bowl ($14). The acai base was very flavorful and tasty, with a good texture. The toppings were good as well (loved the granola). However, is this place worth the price? Honestly no; you can get similar tasting acai bowls elsewhere for closer to $10. SERVICE: It seems like they only have 1-2 people working, however, there wasn't a long wait. The staff seemed neutral (not rude, but not super friendly) and the place was clean.

I'm a sweet tooth but my middle-aged gut needs to avoid excess sugars/flour and dairy so their menu options are perfect. So far, my picky gut has been very happy with Mangonada, Green Smoothie, and Michelagua. Some people need bubble tea regularly, I need their Michelagua whenever I'm passing Belmont!! The staff are very friendly and patient as I'm still learning the menu and want to try everything. I walk out looking like I have a family to feed, meanwhile I'm solo tasting my way through the menu The decor is cute and the store always looks neat. Street parking in this area is always a crap shoot (not their fault), but there is a public parking lot across the street (on the corner of 6th & Emmett). I'm a fan and will be coming here like I have a gym membership. See you there!

When we walked in, we were greeted right away. Customer service is great, you can sample the ice creams. Different flavors than other ice cream shops, but BETTER. They had rice pudding, queso, eggnog, strawberry to name a few. The hubby decided to have the queso ice cream in a cup and I had the creminieve, it was fresh strawberries with 2 scoops of ice cream (you can choose what flavor ice cream, but I think it's best with the strawberry ice cream) and topped with cream, it was DELICIOUS I finished the whole thing! They also had dessert waffles available. Cute ice cream shop, friendly service, and delicious desserts. Definitely a must when you're in the area!
