    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.

    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.

    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.

    Stopped in this morning for my favorite smoothie, the Avocolada (no pineapple, sub mango, no…read morespinach, sub ginger) Try this and thank me later, sooo good! As always, it hits every time! The associate who helped me was so kind and welcoming, and she also made my smoothie perfectly. I was in and out in no time, which I really appreciated. I love this location because it's usually calm, the staff are always friendly, and the service is consistent. Parking can be a bit tricky sometimes, but overall, it's always a great experience. I highly recommend this spot if you want quick, friendly service and a smoothie made just right.

    DRINKS We redeemed a free birthday drink at this location…read moreand decided to try the caramelized pineapple smoothie. Although we were initially hesitant about our choice, it turned out to be one of the best drinks I've ever had. It perfectly captured the essence of fall--cinnamon-y, not overly sweet, and layered with a depth of flavor that's hard to describe but absolutely unforgettable (still dream about that smoothie). FOOD Sandwiches are available for purchase, though we didn't get any this time around. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. PARKING Parking is difficult, so my partner dropped me off at the store for a quick pickup. A garage is available at the building complex, but it was a little difficult for us to find, especially since street parking was full.

    Tucked by Mom's organic in Mosaic…read more We came for lunch. The interior is warm and inviting. There's a cafe area near the front where you can order coffee and desserts to-go. Feels a bit like an elevated Panera. We ordered the warm grain bowl, skillet-baked eggs w/ avocado, and the mini Dutch pancakes. Service was quick. The food was not stand-out, but good. The grain bowl was flavorful and fillng, avocados fresh, and the mini Dutch pancakes were cute! A decent spot for lunch if you're in the area.

    I visited this brunch cafe with a friend, and unfortunately, our experience was completely ruined…read moreby the service. Our server, an older woman with curly/permed hair, had a dismissive attitude from the start. She placed the menus on the table in a way that felt more like tossing them than handing them to us. It was rude, but we tried to ignore it at first. When she took our drink order, she barely listened, quickly entered it into her handheld device, and walked away without any basic courtesy. There was no effort to communicate or be polite. When our drinks came out, she again tossed the straws onto the table. At that point, it no longer felt accidental. It felt clearly disrespectful. I've been to many restaurants, but this was easily one of the worst service experiences I've had. Basic professionalism and respect were completely missing. We spoke to the manager and requested a different server. The replacement server was professional and respectful, which made it even clearer how unacceptable the previous behavior was. This level of service is unacceptable. No customer should be treated this way.
