    Nutella Bowl
    Andy Y.

    A great place with many options of acai bowls and smoothies. The bowls were filled fully with fresh fruit along with a balanced variety of flavorful ingredients. The acai base was tasty with hints of tart and chocolate notes. The staff was very friendly and the bowls were prepared perfectly to our requests. The ambiance is pretty relaxing with several indoor and outdoor seating options. Parking can be a little hectic as it is shared within the surrounding businesses. Nonetheless, a great experience and will most definitely be back for more! Enjoy!

    Health Nut Smoothie
    Aldair V.

    First time trying south block & i will admit that the pictures on other reviews had me question whether the portions were good enough but the smoothie proved to be filling. I really liked the interiors appearance. The mural on the wall adds a nice touch to the inside. I was greeted by the staff before it was my turn to order which is appreciated, plus I didn't have to wait too long for my smoothie. I ordered the Health Nut smoothie which had a subtle, natural sweet flavor to it. I'll definitely be coming back to try their açaí bowls and other food options.

    Always love south block. Everything tasted so fresh and healthy no matter what bowl you get. I tried out different items on the menu and everything tasted great with almond butter and cacao nibs! My bowls are always full, I never finish one at one sitting and they taste great after the next day!

    Cave Monkey Smoothie with whey isolate protein
    Gauravi P.

    Came here to pick up a protein shake. I got the cave monkey with whey protein. The shake has 20g of protein. You have a choice of whey, plant protein, or collagen for your protein 20g option. The cost for a 24 ounce protein smoothie was about 11 dollars. Not bad for a gourmet protein shake in my opinion! Staff was friendly and checked on protein ingredients for me :)

    Açaís bowls.

    We loved this location. Service is amazing and they make the best açaís bowls in the world. The atmosphere is nice, everything is clean and also fruit look fresh We will come back there for sure

    Even when using the Kiosk, I'm always greeted when I walk through the door. I'm happy they have a rewards program. The consistency of each bowl each time is great. they make sure your food is good and they take the time to make it look presentable. parking can be tight. best to park in the lot next to the small shops and walk over.

    Aloha Bowl (left) and Nutella Bowl (right)

    This is the absolute best smoothie bowl spot in Northern Virginia! I've been coming here for years now and it's always my go-to spot for an acai bowl or smoothie! This time I ordered one of their seasonal bowls, the Aloha Bowl. It was acai topped with pineapple, strawberries, coconut, and my absolute favorite, their homemade granola. Their granola never disappoints! It's always the perfect addition to any of their smoothie bowls, adding a subtle sweet crunch on top. The service was super fast! They have the option to order either online, on a kiosk, or with a person. Since I wanted to substitute an ingredient in the acai, I just ordered with the person, and they were easily able to do that for me at no extra charge. The only downside to the experience is the parking. The store's located in a busy spot with a few others stores and a small parking lot in front so it's pretty difficult to find a parking spot nearby. But it's not their fault it's always poppin! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to cool off from a hot summer day! Even if you're not in Vienna, luckily there are a few other locations scattered throughout the Northern Virginia area for you to go to!

    So what it's been freezing the past couple of weeks. Today it's 40 degrees - a veritable heat wave!!! Time for a healthy mid-afternoon snack while running errands. This is my first visit to this store since it left Jammin' Java, and I have to say, I like it so much more. This feels cleaner and fresher, a place where I want to get an açaí bowl, vs. Jammin'' Java's "I want to emo scream at the depressing but somewhat cool black and grey walls" decor. Chances are I'll be drawn to visit this place more.

    Only been to this location twice since they moved buildings but I've loved coming here. Smoothies and bowls are just as good as anywhere else. Today was my first day coming in "early" and I was greeted maybe more enthusiastically than usual which was a great way to start my day besides getting my favorite bowl. Service 10/10 very quick and friendly. Ambiance is very nice (imo) some seating and pretty light but relaxed feeling.

    Banana Toast
    Mark O.

    I had a chance to stop by South Block with my fiancé as her ring was getting resized from a jeweler close by. I tried the banana toast for the first time and it was immaculate. It took them a while to make. I think the restaurant was going a lot of orders at the time. There are a couple seats inside the venue so you can sit inside but they had more seating outside. There is a beautiful mural on the right side wall when you walk in. It sets a cool vibe.

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

It's extremely quirky and eclectic, almost like wandering through an old-timey, whimsical field of curiosities. Every corner has something unexpected, and that's part of the charm. There's plenty of seating, but it does get busy, especially during peak hours. There's an attached parking lot, which makes stopping by super convenient. Prices lean a little on the higher side, but that's pretty normal for specialty dessert cafés. Overall, it's a delightful spot if you're craving creative desserts, unique drinks, or just a cozy and quirky place to hang out. I'd definitely come back!

We decided to go to get a little snack and coffee to start the day before some errands. I got a vanilla latte, while he got a mocha latte. Both iced. I got almond milk and hubby got oat milk. I enjoyed the blend of coffee and flavor - not either one overpowering each other. I personally like a little more syrup but it wasn't undrinkable. The almond milk was a teeny bit woody. I'll get oat milk next time. The cashier helped us decided on what pastries to get (there wasn't any signage). I ended up getting a strawberry croissant that was so pretty - it even had some gold glitter on top! Perfect for cherry blossom season. It was flaky and not too sweet. Hubby got a cinnamon roll and they warmed it up for it so it was nice and gooey. It was a cute urban feeling cafe with great AC and comfy seating.

During the event, your waiter informed us that the host had prepaid $2,000 toward the venue, food, and drinks. At one point, I specifically asked the waiter about separating the accounts because I wanted to make sure I could pay for my own drinks. The waiter told me that there was no need because the host had prepaid $2,000 and, at that time, the guests had only used approximately $800 of that amount. Later in the evening, after many guests had already left, the same waiter approached me and stated that my bill was $750. When I asked how my personal bill could possibly be $750, I was told that it was the bill for the entire table. I never agreed to be financially responsible for the entire table, nor was I informed that charges from other guests would be assigned to me. In fact, I had specifically asked earlier to have my own purchases separated. - Every item included in the $750 charge presented to me. - The reason those charges were assigned to my account rather than to the individuals who ordered them. - Any gratuity, service fees, taxes, or other charges included in that amount. I would appreciate management reviewing this matter carefully. I am willing to pay for anything that I personally ordered and authorized, but I do not accept responsibility for charges incurred by other guests without my knowledge or consent. Please contact me promptly with the itemized documentation and an explanation of how the $750 amount was calculated.
