It's time for a review update - this place has become a regular stop for me because it's just that good! They offer a number of breakfast options, including egg based, as well as variations on their liege waffle which now includes a chocolate chip variety. The açaí bowls are a delicious, healthy option or you can get your bowl on your waffle if you're feeling a little extra. Service is fast and friendly and you can order in advance to pick up. Ambiance is bright and cheerful with a surfer vibe. It's meant to be take away, so there's limited seating inside. If you're looking for a delicious and healthier alternative to the usual fast food places, you should definitely check out So Bol! read more

This is hands down one of the best places to get açaí bowls. Even though we've been here multiple times, we had questions, which the cashier was very patient in addressing. I'm glad she did because we ended up changing our order and were very happy with the results. At first we wanted the classic açaí bowls with waffles on the side, but changed the order to a mixture of waffle pages and bowls to fit our preferences. For the waffle package you can get it made with the waffle on top of the açaí or you can deconstruct the package and have the waffle on the side. There's an option to eat inside, which is always very tidy and nice or outside of the establishment, which is comfortable either way (or of course, take your order to go). They have a free rewards program that comes in handy for discounts. 10/10 recommend! read more

Love this place! It is my go to for healthy bowls and beverages. They're all very friendly here and they do an excellent job of providing speedy service and appreciate your business! read more

Solid spot to have an açaí bowl. The granola def needed more nuts, and honey, cause it was lacking that extra oomph. Same can be said for the pitaya bowl my wife had. Also, thought it was a bit pricey since it didn't even come with a drizzle of nut butter or Nutella (which was an extra $1.68 if you wanted it). Fruits tasted fresh so that was solid. read more

The fruit feels fresh, I love the different bases that they have. I ordered pick up and it was timely, they didn't skimp, the store itself was clean, but they had everything I wanted. I added cookie butter to my bowl and it was a game changer. Very convenient area as well. read more

I love this place they have coconut bowls. I skip dinner for this. Service is great very fast. read more

SoBol's beach aesthetic may immediately remind you of summer, but it was when I washed my hands in the bathroom that vivid pool side memories resurfaced. If this place was on stationed by the beachside, I think it'd be one of my to-go spots. I'm not a huge acai bowl fan, but I was pleasantly surprised. The regular acai of strawberry and banana looked really good, but I wanted to try something new so I ordered the green bowl. It was comprised of spinach, mango, banana, and kale along with strawberry, blueberries, and a drizzle of honey. I'm not a spinach fan, but the rather harmonious blending of all the other components made that irrelevant. I would describe this bowl as sweet and airy, but some of their other bowls looked interesting as citrusy. read more

I tried their chocolate cacao smoothie and it was pretty good. A bit pricy for the size I got, but it was a nice healthy treat. Next time, I will probably try their smoothie bowls since that seems to be more of their rave! read more

The storefront is a tiny cute little place, really good for to go orders. Luckily, it's close to where I work so they have a repeat customer on their hands! They're so friendly and recommended things to me based on my dietary preferences, which can be hard to find. I got the chocolate cacao bowl with almond butter added and it WAS SO GOOD. It actually tastes like chocolate, not the fake chocolatey taste that other smoothie/acai places have. I accidentally left it sitting for 30 minutes and the oatmeal underneath became like overnight oats which was actually incredible. Super satisfied!!! read more

Never had acai bowls before and it was delicious! The granola is made in-house and all the ingredients taste fresh. It's a little expensive, but price you pay for healthy food. The large size is huge and definitely shareable. They also sell waffles and coffee here. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. Need to try their smoothies next time! read more

We ordered delivery and it was just as fresh as if we went there granted we don't live far. I used to be a patron of SoBol at one of their Long Island places while pregnant with my now 3 year old (reviewed that one too) and it was a favorite treat of mine like to an almost daily thing for a while there. Though I have yet to be inside, it tasted as delicious and fresh as they did from the other place in NY. That is amazing to me when chains in same local area can't even do that. Kudos!!! We will be back for sure to try to dragon fruit featured bowls! read more

Ryan the owner along with his wife and the rest of their staff are awesome. I drive 35 minutes and come here sometimes daily and I cannot stop ! lol love this place and the food along with the kind professional staff. so glad they're here and looking forward to them hopefully opening one in Warrenton where I live.! read more

I am hardy the granola-açaí person but I really enjoyed my acacia bowl. It was fresh, everything was ripe and crisp, and the service was friendly and quick. It's a small place so maybe plan to take it home. Overall I can't say much more than I will definitely be back to try more and that's a big endorsement lol. read more

I stopped in to try a smoothie bowl and was Not disappointed! I got the Sunrise bowl (classic size) and it was excellent! It does cost around $9.50 for one, so for me it will be more of a splurge than every day item. The granola was super crunchy and flavorful and the fruit was very fresh. The pineapple was perfectly sweet and juicy as well. The smoothie wasn't too sweet or too tart, but really just perfect compliment to the fruit and granola. There were a lot of add-on options (chia seeds, flax seeds, protein powder, etc.) available too, but for an add on cost so I decided to try it as is and it was great. The 2 employees were both very pleasant and made me feel welcome! The cafe was very clean and had really cute decor. I highly recommend if you are craving a healthy smoothie or smoothie bowl! I def want to go back and try more options off the menu! Everything looked really good! read more

So happy our area now has an açaí place! The bowls and waffles here are delicious! This place rivals playa bowls. Wonderful service as well.

Love this place!! The smoothie and bowls are so good! You can tell all the ingredients are really fresh. The place has a really cute set up that makes it very easy to order, it's also very clean! The staff was incredibly friendly and gave me a warm welcome. I've been looking for a good smoothie place for a while and I've finally found my spot! They also have smoothie bowls, waffles, and overnight oats in case you want something other than a smoothie! read more

I want to start this off by saying I've never been a huge smoothie bowl person, but I was so impressed with SoBol! I ordered the Green Bowl, which is spinach, mango, banana, kale, and almond milk blended with granola, strawberries, mango, blueberries, coconut, and honey on top. It was delicious! I like how they had three sizes - since I fill up on smoothies quickly, the kids size was perfect for me. The smoothie and the granola (which their menu says is homemade) are both very good. The service was great, I couldn't decide between the Green or the Pitaya and they let me try a sample of each which was so nice and definitely helped make my decision! They also carry local kombucha here, I picked up a couple bottles for my friend and I and I'm looking forward to trying it. As others mentioned, it's a bit on the pricier side but if seems pretty on par with most trendy smoothie bowl places. My only complaint is that the strawberries didn't taste as fresh as the other ingredients. read more

Delicious! First smoothie bowl where I felt like the price matched the quality/contents of the bowl! Will definitely be back. Staff were also very friendly and service was quick. read more

Not bad, not great. Granola isn't the best, always seems stale? Not sure if that's by design or they actually gave me stale granola.

Happy to see more health conscious small businesses popping up. They have really good bowls and customer service.

Super clean and tasted exactly how I remember from this chain when I had it in New York. Loved the classic bowl and the mango bowl! The staff are friendly and nice and respect covid-19 considerations. Definitely going back! read more

Picked smoothies a few times now. We love this place! All of their smoothies are too notch. Yet to try other items on the menu.

So refreshing. A tasty and healthy meal!!! Perfect for summer. Had this in California and was so glad to find it here.

I love this place! My son and I discovered Acai bowls on a trip to Hawaii and they have been a favorite ever since. SoBol is a welcome new neighbor in Gainesville. The shop is so clean and the staff is very friendly. The bowls are delicious! read more

Great spot for a smoothie bowl. Great service and fresh products. The bowls were a bit pricey but they tasted amazing

So delicious and fresh! Got kid size bowls just to try a couple different mixes and they were still a good size. Smoothie was amazing, and waffle was great too. Will definitely order from there again! read more

Tried 3 of the 4 bowls, the waffles, and the coffee. All were phenomenal as was the service. Will definitely be coming back!

Soooo good! Ordered via mysobol.com, easy! Everything was fresh and wonderful. Since it was our first time we ordered 1 of each bowl and a couple of waffles. Everything g was delicious. The standard size is pretty big. The waffle super sweet so meant to be eaten with fruit or other toppings, not syrup. We will probably make this a weekly thing. Glad to have something unique, healthy and delicious in the Gainesville area. They aren't serving soups at this location but hopeful that will happen in the future! read more

Large, nutritious, and delicious bowls here, and the workers were very friendly. We'll be back!

Great place with great and fast delivery. Ordered some food for my bestie for her birthday and she loved it. I called the place after placing my order and told them that it was a small treat for her birthday and they went out of their way to write happy birthday on the packaging. Thank you so much it made her day!!! read more

The spirulina bowl was really good. I could taste every flavor. The granola with the honey was my favorite. I definitely recommend!

I didn't think too much granola was a thing. Got two açaí bowls which were pretty good. It had a "splash" of soy milk which I didn't like too much. I was hoping for something fruity but what I got was something creamy. If I am in the area again I would come back. read more
