South Block - Mango Sunshine Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

You order at the kiosk and it's about a 5-10min wait depending on number of customers. I got the green drink and my husband got the mini almond butter açaí bowl. Even though it's a mini, do not underestimate the amount! I actually ate half of my husband's bowl because I liked it more and was more in the mood for it but the green drink was really refreshing. It was our first time here but definitely a great spot for morning smoothie! read more

South Block - Mini almond butter acai bowl with super green drink with ginger - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This was my first time visiting this location! Very easy access, clean, and had two bathrooms. They have a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors too. There's a parking garage attached to the Amazon HQ building that gives you 3 hours free parking for retail. I ordered two bowls and it came out to $29 and some change; it was a bit pricier than I remember it being previously but it was still delicious and refreshing. You can order on the app ahead or off an iPad in store. They text you when your order is ready and also call out your name. You can get your order in less than 15 mins. read more

Sweet Treat at South Block I stopped by South Block and tried the Dubai Chocolate açaí bowl in the mini size . I swapped the bananas on top for blueberries and added chia seeds + collagen protein . The strawberries and blueberries were super fresh, and I really enjoyed the Dubai chocolate flavor. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the actual blend having a little too much banana for my taste. Still, it was really delicious and the perfect portion size . Ordering was easy thanks to their self-service kiosk . I waited while my bowl was prepared, and the space itself is a nice size with great lighting--perfect for anyone who wants to eat in or even work from there . As for the service, it was fine in terms of timing , but the interaction felt a little off. The woman who made my bowl just called my name, placed it on the counter, and walked away. When I mentioned I had asked for it to be a to-go order, she pointed at the tops and bags and told me I could do it myself ‍. It wasn't hard, but the way she waved me off didn't sit right--it would've been nice if she had just finished it to-go. Overall, tasty bowl , solid space, but service could use a little more warmth . read more

South Block - Mini Dubai Chocolate Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The employees seem absolutely lost; so slow, tons of people waiting on orders. The smoothie was OK, but could have been blended better.

I arrived around 7:30am. They're open at 7am Monday- Friday. You can order at the counter or other two touchscreens that are provided as soon as you walk in. I ordered an açaí bowl and a smoothie. The smoothie took me all day to finish. It may be because I had eaten already and was just too full to finish it. The flavor was OK, but it wasn't my favorite. If I went again, I think I would get something different. read more

During a recent stay in Crystal City, I was thrilled to see this smoothie and bowl place within a very short walk of our hotel. It made for a great lunch one day. We each got a smoothie that was tasty, super healthy and hit the spot. Like some others have mentioned, the wait seemed a bit on the long side but of course it takes time to hand craft the bowls. That said, I'll be looking to patronize this South Block and others in the DC area on one of my frequent trips there. read more

South Block - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Excellent customer service! Friendly staff who greeted me as I walked in. As advised by others, I preordered my bowl via the South Block app. When the order was ready, I went to pick it up from the store. This was my first time trying the Loaded PBJ bowl and while the toppings / fruit were great (as always), the açaí wasn't what I expected/familiar with compared to the traditional way. The almond milk was more overpowering and I could barely taste the berries. However, that doesn't mean that this place isn't worth visiting. It's just a matter of trying different bowls to see what works for you/like or love. For example, my favorite/highly recommend is the mango sunshine smoothie bowl The store itself is very nice, neatly designed, and plenty of places to sit. Upon entering the store, it's easy to see the section where you can retrieve your order from the refrigerator. I will revisit and try another bowl. read more

South Block - PBJ Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I've been a customer for about 9years! I first found this place because I'm from Brazil home of the Açaí, and on my craving hunt to find a good açaí place I found SOUTH BLOCK! Outside of Brazil this is the most legit you will find in the area! The base of the bowl is made with creamy açai puree, blended to a smooth, velvety consistency. It's a perfect canvas for a variety of toppings, which can range from granola, fresh fruits like bananas and berries, to superfoods like chia seeds, coconut flakes, and peanut butter. The blend of toppings adds both texture and additional bursts of flavor, making each bite a rewarding experience. Whether you're in the mood to enjoy your bowl on the go or to relax and savor it in-house, the space offers a comfortable, relaxed vibe. The use of natural lighting and the open layout make it feel inviting. read more

South Block - My baby also loooves açaí - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I absolutely love the acai bowls at South Block! One thing that sets them apart for me is that the bowls are made to order and don't use a pre-made acai base. That makes such a difference in taste and consistency in my opinion. The space was large, modern, and bright with tablets in the entrance to place and pay for your order. There are seating options inside and outside to enjoy your bowl or smoothie. 10/10 for me! read more

Stopped in for a smoothie and it took over 10 minutes. I didn't stop in to hang out, I came for a smoothie. Smoothie was good when I finally got it but nothing extraordinary. The staff was nice, but they also didn't hear that my name was John and called a smoothie for Jin which I've had to ask if they meant John a few minutes later which of course they did. Five stars for being the worlds slowest smoothie. And it's not because it's "made from scratch". read more

Great smoothies and açaí bowls. Made fresh and service is pretty good as well. You can order ahead and pickup as well. Only downside is the price. read more

Love south block! I've been to several locations multiple times, but this national landing one is my most visited for sure. I love their Nutella bowl, pb&j bowl with Nutella mixed in (credit to my friend Rhea for this idea), health nut smoothie and mermaid smoothie. I usually add collagen powder in as well for some added protein. This location specifically is super friendly and really quick with making my orders. It's definitely a morning staple for me! read more

I'm becoming a fan of this place. I think they do great with their flavors. While I've only been there a few times, I've always left happy. The staff are friendly and the place is clean. The one criticism is parking. If you live close by like I do then there's no problem going. If not, then you have to hope you can find street parking or a nearby garage. I usually go for a PBJ profile so my last trip was the loaded PBJ. Delicious. read more

South Block - Loaded PBJ - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I really like the set up here. You can order to go with a kiosk or at the cashier station. You can also purchase pre made juices, snacks, & over health knick knacks. They have smooties, smoothie bowls, as well as some light bites for breakfast. I ordered the Aloha Bowl. It had fresh pineapple, strawberries, & coconut on top of a açaí blend. Very yummy. Some bar seating overlooking the street along with space on the patio for sitting outside. Look forward to coming back and trying their other bowls! read more

South Block - Almond Butter Bowl and health nut smoothie, and a seasonal Matcha strawberry lemon bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

the workers are always so kind and accommodating best service and always a good experience

Tried this location 3 times now and it's just not good. The way they mix my smoothies is off... it's like I'm drinking stagnant slop. Isn't a "smoothie" supposed to be SMOOTH - why am I struggling to get it out of the straw? Other South Blocks do not make it this thick. All 3 times I had to take my smoothie home, re-blend it, and add my own coconut water. It tastes way better with more liquid! You're better off at Smoothie King or Tropical Smoothie... def do not go to this location. read more

they always get my order correct, finish it in a timely manner, and hand it over kindly. the place is clean, no complaints! best location i've been to so far. i recommend the warrior + nutella bowl read more

First time trying this place. Walked in and placed my order at the kiosk. It was very easy, simple and convenient. It was a little wait to get my order that was my only issue, but the staff was very understanding and communicative and kept letting us know our orders were coming. But once I I took that first taste it was truly amazing. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. read more

South Block - a man sitting in front of a colorful mural - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

If you like south block you'll like this place. One of the newer additions to the south block family right underneath the new Amazon HQ. The interior has a few seats along the window and a collegiate steps like seating area. There's a counter where you can order and 3 automatic machines for ordering too. Quick service and nothing fancy but consistent and the bowls are a good size. Ideally it's like $1-2 cheaper but everything in the area should probably be like that. Overall still pretty good and fruits were very fresh. read more

South Block - Green bowl and Queen Bee - Acai Bowls Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

One of my favorite places to grab a smoothie or açaí bowl. It's been a while since I've been in one of these but it felt good to be back in one. The service is always helpful and this store has machines to place the order. If you have any additional questions you can ask people at the register and they'll come assist you. The decor and ambiance was well lit with inspiring signs. Not to mention I gotta smoothie and it was great. If your in Crystal City and in the mood for a good smoothie or bowl give it a try! read more

I love this location. They are super friendly, make your bowls very fast , and they taste the best.

I got the Almond butter bowl with ginger and honey and it was 10/10. I got greeted as soon as I walked in and would definitely go again.

I ordered a skincare smoothie and absolutely loved it. It had sea moss and collagen and for som reason I expected it to taste blue, but it tasted like banana. I loved the oat whip on top too. read more

No staff, and they move like snails. The wait time for a smoothie is almost an hour. Arrived around 10:25 am. It's now 11:08 and still no smoothie! I want to request a refund however that will stop the entire store. read more

Reposting without any offensive descriptors and only the facts about my experience because it needs to be documented: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! In the evening of August 1st, I ordered a Nutella bowl for carry out. When I got home, the bowl only had the açaí mix, coconut flakes, and Nutella. It was missing the granola, banana and strawberry topping. Two employees involved with my order were slowly moving about while a group of customers were waiting for orders. Paying over $13 for a falsely advertised açaí bowl and poor customer service is unacceptable. Absolutely disgusting! read more

Just meh. It's literally like any old juice place like Jamba Juice, but more expensive. Pros: *refreshing *conveniently located Cons: *their ordering machines glitch, and froze when I used an AMEX *loud music just wasn't the vibe for me *the prices, definitely wasn't expecting that even in the city. Anywhere else and that little forgettable smoothie would be five bucks at most certainly not ten *the most surprising thing was how long it took to get one smoothie, I was the only one in there and it was about eight minutes read more

Unfortunately this place is slower than any food/cafe place I've ever been to. I did an order ahead for a smoothie and it still took them 20+ minutes to prep the single smoothie. I love the concept and ingredients. It's just not worth getting a parking ticket to wait so long for a single item. read more

I have been obsessed with South Block for about a year. My favorite location is the Pentagon City store. I came in right before closing and got the best service. I like to give a hugh shout out to the store manager Sharnita and blockstar Mike, these guys were awesome!! read more

The best smoothie bowl I've ever had. I will be back often. It was a super easy process to place an order and pick it up.

I love coming here now even more! The team is so friendly and welcoming, and the manager, Asher, makes sure to make positive connections with everyone that comes into the building. The bowls are ALWAYS delicious, and the vibes are out of this world. Keep up the the amazing work you all! read more
