South Block is one of my favorite spots for acai bowls around the area. I can always expect to get…read morethe freshest ingredients. I usually visit one of their other locations in Falls Church and this location is definitely a lot bigger. Inside is very clean and quiet. On a weekday around 11am we were the only customers dining in. Ordering is convenient at their self service kiosk. The bowl I usually get is the Warrior Nutella Bowl. Also pictured is my cousin eating the Warrior bowl in a mini size which I realized after I got my order that I should've gotten mine in a mini because the regular size is plenty! They are very generous with their toppings but I do have to say that on this visit the berries were on the sour side and while there were a lot of toppings we both couldn't finish our bowls.

This is a my favorite açaí bowl place hands down, no exceptions.

It isn't too too spacious in there, more for a grab and go. Luckily, there is a lot of outdoor seating here and around the mosaic area to eat at if you wanted to consume it right away. My favorite bowl is the nutella açaí bowl but you genuinely cannot go wrong with any other options. It is always loaded to the brim and the best bang for your buck. It's my favorite spot to hit up in the summer and I will definitely be back again.

Of course it's very close to where cars pass by, but since it's near behind the building, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

It was THICK!!!! it was very tasty and I was happy and surprised to see there were little pieces of mango left at the bottom. SERVICE: No complaints ! It wasn't busy so the order came quick.

We really enjoy the green bowl, and the Nutella bowl. Obviously the Nutella bowl, is going to taste the best, especially since it comes with a berry smoothie and coconut and strawberries on top, covered in Nutella. For healthier vibes tho, the green bowl still is really good, and if it weren't for the strawberry and bananas toppings, probably wouldn't like it as much, bc that's where your sweetness really comes from.

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!

This is hands down one of the best places to get açaí bowls. Even though we've been here multiple…read moretimes, 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!
