    Avocado Toast
    Maya D.

    I wouldn't say "perfect" but close enough. (Acai) Warrior Bowl was great! No complaints on taste. I added extra toppings, which made the bowl extra full, but even without my extra toppings, this was hard to eat in one bowl. You have to dump the toppings in something to be able to get to the smoothie part. It's nice that it's full but it's too full (even without my additional toppings). Just make sure to get an extra top and dump your toppings in there to get down to the bottom! Avocado toast was good! The avocado was super creamy. The sprouted bread was pretty basic, so I would've appreciated a better bread. It wasn't bad, it just didn't make this bread worth the price. I would definitely come back!

    This is one of my favorite açaí bowl places. This particular location took much longer than the others I been to. It was very busy, but still seemed to have slower service than what's reasonable. Make sure you check the kiosks and the website for menus. For some reason, they don't display the whole menu in the store. My bowl was very good

    Boost Juice
    Katie S.

    I love South Block, and consider myself to be a loyal, regularly returning customer. It's a bit pricy, but I've almost always felt the cost was justified. I'd consider it to be a "treat-yourself" kind of place. Today I tried the Boost Juice for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was!

    South Block is a great acai place in Arlington. I had the Nutella bowl made gluten free. I do wish the acai was a little sweeter but it was good.

    Second time here. First time I got a kids strawberry banana smoothie. That was pretty good. This time around I got a detox juice and a recovery shot. I'm a sucker for those shooters. You can order ahead of time and they keep it in the fridge for grab and go. Overall a great place and quick service.

    First time trying South Block and it was yummy!! Everything on the menu looked great. I had the Green Bowl and added pineapple, agave and raw honey. Perfect for a sweet treat break after a summer weather stroll in the city The wait wasn't too bad either! I enjoyed that there was plenty of seating; perfect for catching up with a friend!

    Service- took over 10 mins for an order so don't come here if you are in a rush like me to catch my flight. I came to this location because it is near the airport, however, parking is a bit difficult unless you want to pay a hefty price. However, the delicious bowl was worth the wait and I'm glad I waited to get it! They make each bowl fresh and you can customize or add as many toppings as you want! Although the indoor area was a bit small, the outdoor area was pleasant to chill and eat my tasty bowl!! I'll be back next time I'm in the area to try the other fruit bases/bowls!

    You can never go wrong with South Block, who hasn't yet to fall in love with their açai bowls and smoothies?!

    It's a mini Nutella Mini with almond butter
    Danielle J.

    I can't even gather the words to write this review for what I just put these ladies through I had a hard time ordering and they were so sweet, patient, and kind the entire time! Her name was Minja and even while training someone she did awesome. Customer service is top tier I will definitely be back and be better about ordering next time.

    Mini smoothie
    Chelsea A.

    I love the kiosk! Smoothie on point and area a vibe. Staff was friendly. I love the option of a mini smoothie- was all I needed

    Super green smoothie
    Melissa C.

    Super chill spot that makes a great green smoothie! The service is always so kind and quick. And the prices are reasonable! Highly recommend for a quick pick up or as a place to chill and chat!

    Super green smoothie and warrior bowl
    Dorothy Y.

    My friend insisted on getting an acai bowl out of nowhere even though she's never had one before. There's smoothie places around the area, but not all of them have acai. So we stumbled into South Block. My friend got the warrior bowl. It was a bit too sweet in my opinion. I got the super green smoothie. I'm surprised the kiosk had almond milk as a potential substitute for pineapple juice. I never thought of them as alternatives to each other. I didn't want my smoothie to be too sweet and I wanted the protein and fat in it. I think the end result was a bit weird when you mix kale and spinach with almond milk, but it wasn't weird in an unpleasant way. I was also surprised to see the kiosk offer ginger as an optional add on for this smoothie. Again, it's something I wouldn't have thought of requesting myself. I've always been told it's good to add ginger to raw foods to reduce the "coldness", so I clicked yes here. I don't think I taste the ginger in the smoothie, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it's in there. I appreciate how they have chia seeds and honey for you to add on the side. They fill up the bowl/cup up to the rim for everyone, so not sure how people are expected to have space to add things lol (that's a good trait).

    oat cream !
    Dona P.

    Stephanie and Omar immediately made me feel welcome! I was so annoyed I couldn't find my $5 bday coupon and they were so patient while I dug through emails. Then I wondered if it may be associated with my account and immediately he jumped on it and said yes! lets check ! And he found it! I wasn't aware this location doesnt have their hot drinks service (makes sense with TWO compass coffee's bookending them!) so I asked if they had any matcha based smoothie and immediately we were able to find something and tweak it to my preference. THEN Stephanie ask if I wanted oat whipped cream... I don't eat oat based products as I have some digestion issues with it... BUT I thought ok a little whipped cream could be nice.... OH MY OAT CREAM!!!!!!!!!! FORGET VEGAN MARSHMALLOWS THIS CREAM IS NEXT LEVEL !!!!!!! I did not know what to do with myself !! Probably not the healthiest but what a TREAT!! Clean space, great staff, fun vegan gluten free options !

    So I popped in with a friend (right before closing) and I wish I wish I WISH we arrived sooner! The…read morestaff (especially the woman who took our order) were friendly and efficient despite the last minute rush. The vibes were everything and you could come with a few people or even solo and enjoy a book, some pho, decor that honors anything and everything chill, and one of their deliciously addictive egg coffees. Yes, you read that correctly, EGG coffee. Iced Egg Coffee, to be more specific. It's sweet, satisfying, refreshing, and you'll want it again and again. The amount of times I've tried to mimic this at home is downright embarrassing...which means that another trip is in order! I have my eye on the Toffee Milk, Saigonese Shake, and Artichoke Refresher. The menu honors traditional Vietnamese fare and fusion, so everyone can find something to enjoy :D Would I come back? Definitely, and I'm bringing everyone. Well, 3 others, because that's all I can fit in my car; but I'm telling everyone :D Enjoy!

    A customer for years - Chill Zone is a great little gem on Harrison St, tucked away just off the…read moreside of the Safeway. It's become a favorite spot for my daughter and me, and we've even hosted several hangouts for her friends there. It's the perfect low-key environment for a small group. The interior has a great vibe; kids (and likely plenty of adults) love making the origami cranes that decorate the room. My daughter and her friends always head straight for the traditional seating area with the pillows on the floor, though there are plenty of regular tables if you prefer the standard setup. On the menu, the Beef Banh Mi is a standout. It's easily the best you'll find in this part of town without making the trek out to the Eden Center. The meat is juicy, the roll is excellent, and they offer it with or without an egg. The secret stars of the menu, however, are the basil fries. They are excellent and come with a fantastic house-made dipping sauce that pulls it all together. While my daughter is the boba fan of the duo, I stick to the coffee and smoothies. Just be cautious with the Vietnamese coffee--if you aren't a seasoned veteran, that caffeine kick will have your heart racing for hours. The staff is consistently fast, friendly, and efficient. It's a local neighborhood staple that we'll keep coming back to. My only complaint is that they are not a coffee shop for early AM!
