    I love the quality of their products! Most recently, the last time I was there (Tuesday) I got this - Strawberry Radiance Shake: unsweetened almond milk, strawberries, bananas, dates, maple syrup, beetroot powder, collagen protein, sea moss w/ vegan oat whip. It was delicious! And guess what? I didn't know that not all the items sold are featured on the main menu, which is physically displayed in the store. I found out about this shake because it was on the menu in the computer where I ordered from! I wish they told people this; that there are way more options shown on the computer. Also, if you go at a busy time, wait time is longer for orders, which makes sense. I do wish they had more comfortable chairs for seating. Additionally, I think that they need more seating outside. Parking is also limited nearby; hopefully you'll get lucky finding some nearby street parking.

    Avocado Toast
    Mia L.

    A true Arlington classic-- I have been going to various locations in Arlington/DC for 7 years. I always get the mango mania smoothie without bananas. The staff is always happy to modify the drink for me. I also got the avocado toast recently. It was simple but solid. It is always clean and simple indoors. Always consistent and good quality.

    South Block was wonderful! I particularly love the ambiance of the store - cute signage, clean feel, easy to read menu, and I like that you can see the food and drinks being made (always a good sign). I got a basic acai bowl, and found it to be the tiniest bit bitter for my tastes (I usually like it a bit sweeter), so I might play around and try some other flavors. Quality was great!

    Almond Butter Açaí Bowl
    Tyrone Omar N.

    Simply the best açaí bowl in the Northern Virginia area! South Block has become a Sunday morning staple for our household. All of their Açaí bowls are filled with high-quality fruits and ingredients. I love the ability to add plant-based as well as classic whey protein for an extra protein boost. They also have optional free honey, agave and chia seeds for you to add! My favorites are the green bowl (with Kale and Spinach) and added almond butter, and the Almond Butter Açaí bowl. The service is always exceptional and quick and the ambiance of the place lives up to the hype! Their materials are also recyclable with biodegradable utensils. Love South Block!

    PBJ Bowl

    Having spent significant time in Cali... these bowls are really good, I won't even lie! And since I've not been able to get back to SD for my fave bowls, these will curb my cravings til then. The avocado toast is so yummy and the PB&J bowl extravaganza (one with extra slab of PB) just floats my boat! I wish there was one closer to me as I have tried both the one in Pentagon City and Alexandria but I prefer PC, cause the staff seemed much nicer. And although I'm still trying to figure out an optimal parking situation I'll come here still. The place is fresh, bright, clean and new which will definitely keep me coming back! GET YOUR FIX HERE FOLKS, you won't be disappointed!!!

    I like this corner shop. It is easily accessible and you can just pop in and grab a drink to go or sit down and people watch as most of their seating is against the window. It may be creepy at first, but when you are escaping the beating sun and want to drink something ice cold, that is the least of your problems. You just want to cool off. The smoothies come out fresh like any other smoothie place and the ingredients do not seem completely processed. I do appreciate the speed of the service and I think its a good compromise. Would I come back? Yea, if I am I the area and since the summer temperatures are now sprouting up, I do see myself coming back. I think they renovated recently so it is clean inside. I would keep coming here to grab a quick drink while I walk around.

    It took several minutes after ordering for my smoothie and smoothie bowl order, but both were fresh and bright!

    aqua bowl (base-organic acai, banana, coconut water; toppings-handmade granola, strawberry, blueberry, and shaved coconut)
    Nneka M.

    yummu yummy yummy...i got something in my tummy.. So, i ordered the aqua bowl via uber eats delivery, and it was every bit fresh and tasty on arrival..and delivered in a brown paper bag with a tamper proof seal. bravo!! The aqua bowl consist of blended organic açaí, banana, and coconut water. The toppings include actual handmade granola, strawberries, blueberries, and shaved coconut. The entire bowl is vegan and gluten free, and is a good portion to split with someone if desired. Unfortunately, the additional $1 almond butter topping I requested, never made it into my bowl (which uber eats promptly refunded me), but the bowl was so delicious without it anyway. Overall, I highly recommend South block, especially with the occasional free delivery promos because its the perfect pick me up after along shift.

    I learned about this place from Uber Eats. Ordered a smoothie which I was skeptical about at first but can I say ...delicious! I ordered the caveman which has peanut butter chocolate and some other deliciousness. What I like is that you have so many options to customize it from sweeteners, proteins, supplements, and natural ingredients. They also have açaí bowls so if you want a smoothie in a bowl, you can get that too. I tried the caveman açaí...pretty much same ingredients and customizations as the actual smoothie but they put it on top of granola and it's not as blended as the smoothie. It was good and filling but I'm more of a smoothie girl. They don't take cash, as it's a completely "green" facility. They take Apple Pay, credit/debit or you can buy kale cash which is a "gift" card like payment. The actual venue is small but quaint. It's has a counter for seating. All in all, great smoothie.

    I love South Block! The quality is super consistent amongst all of their Arlington stores. I love how customizable every bowl and smoothie on the menu is for customers. I almost always get an açaí base and it is incredibly filling! The fruit is always fresh and topped with a generous amount. It is pricey as smoothie bowl places tend to be, but the quality and size make the cost worth it in my opinion!

    Mermaid Bowl
    Keisha L.

    Whooooose Block???? South Block!!! When that craving hits for the freshest açaí bowl around, this should be your first, last and only stop!!! Forget the line, you can order ahead via their app and walk in, picked up your prized possession out the fridge and be on your way!!!! The bowls never fail me, they are always so fresh and made with care, so yes the wait may be extended but all good things are worth the wait, right?? Stepped all the way out the box and got the Mermaid Bowl and it was fantastic!!!! The sliced coconut was so fresh, the granola is always a sure shot and the blueberries and strawberries where fresh and you could taste the pineapple and the mango that were mixed with the blue majik!!! I think I even tasted piece of banana in there too!!! The Nutella Bowl is a must for anyone who loves all things Nutella!!! You will not be disappointed!! The best thing is if you do not want all the toppings or want to add more they are flexible enough to work with you if you let them know. If bowls are not your thing the also have smoothies and some savory toasts to chose from as well. They do have a rewards program so if you are regular it pays off, just make sure you check in with your phone number each time when you pay. Oh, leave the cash at home because this is a cashless shop. There's not much indoor seating outside of a few stools that line the window but they do have a few tables outside when the weather is right. Best thing is, you can chose your block as they have several locations in addition to this lovely corner spot in Clarendon. No one and I mean no one does bowls like South Block!

    I gotta give it up for Kaldi's. My first time visiting and while the prices are a little steep…read more(especially for food - $23 for a chicken Caesar salad), I'd def come back. About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

They have a $9 breakfast sandwich brunch special that's a pretty good deal - I got the lox and cream on a croissant with a poached egg.
