The smoothies are good here but that's about it. I used to be a big fan of their açaí bowls but after going to other places with açaí, the quality is totally incomparable. The açaí has no flavor whatsoever. The topping selection is good here and I appreciate that they're trying to do new things with their menu, but I have left pretty disappointed the last few times I have been. read more

Best açaí/smoothie bowl place by far! It is slightly pricey but you pay for quality and service As far as smoothies go I've never been a fan of what they have to offer but let me tell you about this strawberry matcha lemonade smoothie. Y'all! This may be the best smoothie I've ever had. I almost don't event care that it cost $10-$14 The Del Rey location is definitely a favorite of mine you can sit outside with a cute scenic view instead of a parking lot. With that being said, there is no parking lot! I patronize this place periodically but after having this smoothie I see myself coming back more often read more

I've tried several South Block locations, but this one is new to me. I ordered the Health Nut smoothie for pick up. It was ready very quickly, the staff were friendly, and the smoothie was (as per usual) delicious! The inside looks similar to most South Block locations, a counter with some seating. This one had a patio though, which would be great in warmer weather. There is street parking nearby. read more

Loved this place! Spacious, clean restaurant and they serve generous fresh healthy bowls. I had the greens bowl with fresh fruits and my son had the açaí bowl. I liked that they had chia seeds and honey on the side for you to add, if you desire. Will be back! read more

I wanted a green smoothie but I was too lazy to make it, so I searched Yelp and found South Block. I ordered the super green smoothie. It was very delicious and I didn't feel guilty since it was packed with so many nutrients. There were a few chunks of fruit and some unblended kale in my smoothie, but overall, it was worth it. I ordered to go, but I did observe that it's very spacious with plenty of seating options. read more

My comfort spot fr, I've been going here since like 2017 and their Warrior bowl and Nutella bowl always hit. Not bad value for the price, it's quite filling. Both indoor and outdoor seating so you can get acai no matter the season! read more

South Block is wonderful. Their Cave Monkey smoothie was an instant favorite. Their staff is always nice and they work hard to have orders ready quickly. Definitely download their app for fastest, grab & go service. Really appreciate having healthy snack options that offer some nutritional value. When I want something rich, sweet and creamy - this is my go to place. read more

I really wanted to like this spot. The vibes were nice, and the mission is great, but I'm afraid for the amount of time I waited, I most likely will not be back We came in on a Saturday afternoon, around 12:05pm. I imagine it was rush hour, but there were not too many people in there. Having worked in a smoothie shop before, I expected a 10 minute wait with the amount of people in there and staff of 4 behind the counter. Nope. We waited 30 minutes and paid about $15 for an açaí bowl including tip. I felt bad since the guy in front of me came in before my partner and me, and still got his order after us (rough man...) I assume it's because as they're working on in person orders, they're also working on mobile orders? The smoothie bowl was good. The fruits used were fresh. And I appreciate that they leave out raw honey so that you get to determine your sugar levels. TLDR; service was not great for the amount of people that were there, but the smoothies are good. If you're okay with a 20-30 minute wait to fulfill your smoothie bowl craving, I would recommend this spot. read more

Come here quite often, so shocked I have not left a review yet. I've been going to South Block for about 6 years in multiple locations. The staff is very nice, professional and practice great food health habits. They always inquire of severity of a food allergy, if applicable. Reasonable prices as well. I've had cold press juice, shots, coffee, smoothies and smoothie bowls (my fave). My go to is the Nutella Bowl. read more

5 stars!! I love the mission of this place. They are all about giving back and building up communities and people. They have multiple locations around the DMV area. It just gives me all of the good positive vibes that I like to feel at an establishment. I got the queen bee açaí bowl, because what else would a Queen get?!? Lol. They have multiple options or you can make your own. What's even cuter is they offer a puppy smoothie bowl! Love it! Service was quick and friendly. Price was on par with other açaí bowl places. The only negative...they're not in LA! My family member introduced me to this place when I visited the area and I can't wait to go again! read more

I don't know how they always manage to push out all orders so quickly and stay so busy. The inside is always super clean and my favorite part about this place is the outdoor seating especially in the warmer weather. I absolutely love this neighborhood jam and if I can't make it in person, you better believe I'm going to order them through Uber Eats. Everybody here is always so friendly too!! read more

Love their smoothies! Always great service, and delicious, fresh smoothies. The almond butter and the guava mango are delish. I do believe the price for a smoothie is a bit steep, but not bad if it's every now and then. read more

I was missing my daily greens and homemade protein smoothie while visiting town. I stumbled upon this place near the hotel I was staying at. I got a peanut blast smoothie with plant based protein ($1 more). I also got an avocado toast which is plain and would taste better with micro greens or something. The avocado toast was so salty and very oily. I can see that they put too much oil and salt. The smoothie was good but could be better with added flavor. The smoothie was expensive and I think it's ridiculous that they charge more for plant protein. Some of the staff were friendly but the one who helped me was kind of rude. I had to explain to her I've never been here and she seemed annoyed for me asking questions. Other than that, it is still a great place to visit and the concept is great. Wished we had more everywhere else. read more

After a long hike I wanted something light but tasty. I've heard good things about South Block so I figured why not give it a try! I'm definitely glad we did. The staff was very helpful, patient and kind! I had no idea what I wanted and the person at the cash register gave some awesome recommendations. They had juices on sale as well so I grabbed 2 for the road. The smoothie was delicious and the açai bowl was so fresh and tasty. It took a bit to get the order but definitely worth the wait. Inside is super clean and there is an option to order yourself as well. I will definitely go back! read more

Definitely a value to the neighborhood since it's pretty devoid of smoothie/açaí bowl places. I had the PBJ bowl and it was a little watery which detracted from the taste. Will be back again as they have plenty more options. read more

Delicious smoothies and açaí bowls! I love that they offer a mini size for some of the bowls and smoothies, and they also give you the option of splitting a regular size bowl into two half sized bowls at an added cost so that you can share with someone. This location has indoor and outdoor tables which is nice! Easy and convenient parking on the street as well. read more

South Block - Mini Warrior Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I love South Block smoothie bowls. In my opinion, the Clarendon location makes the best green bowl (maybe they use more ginger?), but that's not to say that this location doesn't also make good smoothies and bowls. Staff is always pleasant and helpful! read more

There aren't many options for acai bowls in the NoVA area, except for here and Robeks (which has 60-70g of sugar per bowl.. WHAT). I decided to give South Block a try. I agree with the other reviews that this place is overpriced - a regular bowl is $11-12. I opted for the Mini Bowl instead ($8) - it had acai, granola, banana, blueberry and strawberry. The size of the mini bowl was perfect and definitely a more budget friendly option. 4/5 because I thought their bowls were quite average, and for their price I expected a little bit more. It wasn't enough to make me want to come back and spend my money here. Additionally it took a little longer than expected to get my order, despite being the only customer in the store at the time. On the positive side, they had a pretty spacey outdoor area that wasn't too crowded, even on a Sunday! read more

Solid South Block location in a convenient location for Del Ray. South Block is a provider of smoothies, açaí bowls (thank you, autocorrect), and juice. A local chain, you can find them in Nova/DC. I recommend trying pretty much anything - we've had a few of their smoothies (cave monkey is our fave), bowls and all of their juices. The product is high quality. The price seems right given the quality and location. And service is always top notch. They have a "juice cleanse" that is a series of 6 juices to be drank in sequence throughout the day. The idea is that you Only drink the juices (and water) instead of food. To be honest, I did the one day cleanse, but after downing juice 6 I got desperate and ordered a pizza.... not really the idea, but I get points for trying, right? The bowls are really good - I usually get the almond butter/banana bowl. It's a perfect blend of smooth, berry base, almond butter, and banana/blueberry to cut through the thick almond butter. Definitely a staple "healthy" food provider for us. Recommend giving it a shot! (Maybe even one of their ginger shots!) read more

I'm visiting from SC and wanted a refreshing lunch. Their Warrior bowl was perfection. Did it take a minute? Yes, because everything is made fresh to order. Worth it! read more

I love south block, and hate that this is their closest location to me. You routinely have to wait 30+ minutes for a bowl when they're not even that busy. I don't understand how they're not able to work through orders like any of the other locations read more

Back at the block.... after visiting another location the day before.. long after my bowl was gone, I still had Warrior Bowl visions dancing in my head. So needless to say, all roads led me back to the block. I ordered a Warrior Bowl and I was in love all over again. It's something about the velvety texture and the crunchiness from the granola that marries everything in the bowl together in açaí matrimony. Loaded with fresh strawberries, sliced bananas and blueberries. I have my eye on the Ginger Bomb for my next visit! I also grabbed and regular, mint and rose alkaline water which i am excited to try as well. My mom got a green smoothie which was the perfect texture that she could eat it with s spoon, in her words to make it last longer. I also grabbed a Nutella bowl that was generously drizzled with Nutella and a Purple Smoothie that was absolutely beautiful in color. Staff was friendly and greeted us upon entering and exiting the door. I did leave wondering if they had a rewards/loyalty program at this location because it wasn't mentioned or offered. There is some seating in the inside and outside as well weather permitting. Needless to say, I will açaí South Block again.... read more

So, kids have tried out South Block at other locations so we decided to try this one out to see if it lived up to the hype. Kid got a Pink Smoothie, I got a Magic Dragon Bowl. I was a bit dubious (especially when the price rung up - over $20, yikes). However, I took a spoonful and WOW ... super yummy. Perfect balance of crunch and tang and sweetness. I'm not even a fan of dragonfruit but *still* loved it. Menu is a bit to get through although understandable since they need to identify everything in each menu item. Coming in cold, probably didn't help - now that I've been there once though, it'll probably be easier next time we go (which we will). Can't wait to try something new - wish there was a location closer to us. read more

This place was good! I was here for a conference and needed to get my acai bowl fix in. I was staying at the Crystal Gateway Marriot and there wasn't too much in walking distance, but to here was about an eight minute Lyft - not bad. I ordered the Almond Butter Acai Bowl which was honestly one of the better bowls that I've had in my expansive acai bowl lifetime. It was a great portion of toppings to actual acai and the cacao nibs really made it. There wasn't too much almond butter which I enjoyed, as I find with a good number of bowls your left with a heaping amount of nut butter and a mouth that just doesn't have enough salive (or acai) to finish it. The only reason I knocked a star was because this location didn't have coffee, and the seating was fairly limited. I automatically associate acai bowl places with unique, hipster vibes, and the ambiance here was average. I would come back for bowls and smoothies though if ever in the area! read more

Best food ever! I was able to eat well with my dietary restrictions and felt so comfortable eating there all week! They were so accommodating and everything was delicious!

Always a great place for a refreshing snack or meal!! Their fruit tastes so fresh every time!

This is a very nice nieghborhood bar. You get a insdustrial ship like feel walking in. It is easy to walk to things around it and Del Ray. The menu is not over loaded with items so it is easy to pick something. I LOVE their wine cellar in the back behind the bar - cute place to take photo's at. I came in with a client and we sat and got pull pork and pulled chicken sandwhiches. They were really good and portions were big. The service was a slow but it is a nieghborhood bar. The waitress was super friendly and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. I would def come here again when I'm in town. read more

South Block is always a favorite when I'm on the go and want to keep it healthy. I love their warrior bowls, a classic acai bowl. They have a variety of other bowls as well. I tried a green smoothie that was pretty good and fresh. They have many fresh cold pressed juices and smoothies. I wish I could try everything on the menu but I'm a creature of habit with my ordering there. One thing I find super convenient is the process for ordering and pickup. This Alexandria location had a tablet for ordering. My order was ready pretty quickly. My only complaint was the impersonal handoff of my order at the counter. I approached the counter when my name was called and my food was set in front of me and the associate turned away without saying a word. The store wasn't busy at all either. I usually get great customer service at other locations including Union Market and another Alexandria location. This was a first stop I'll still return to my usual locations. read more

South Block - Warrior Bowl and Green Detox Juice - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

South Block is a place I would visit to get a refreshing healthy snack when I am willing to splurge. An açaí bowl starts at roughly $10. The last time I stopped by South Block I opted for a regular Warrior bowl to split with the fiancé. You can tell that they don't skimp on ingredients and it was nice that they top the bowl to the brim. My first time experiencing an açaí bowl left a good impression. It's not too sweet, had a nice tangy taste and was complimented well with the granola. I finally understand most foodie's fascination with the açaí bowl. On a side note, there's plenty of seating available inside and outside to enjoy your smoothie or açaí bowl. Overall It's a nice place to just relax and catch up with friends/family while enjoying a healthy snack. read more

Will not be coming back here or possibly any other location again. Disappointed this location doesn't have the food (I.e. toast, salads). This needs to be advertised on the website or on a sign outside. Employees are not friendly or efficient. There was no one inside and several workers behind the counter but my order took almost 15 minutes. Cash isn't accepted (?) and it's totally overpriced. $21 for a bowl and regular sized drink? I was expecting someone to walk me through things or converse with me since this was my first time but one employee spoke to me briefly and then someone else took my order. Go to ubar in Fairfax instead if you want bites like this. read more
