I've been a fan of this place for many years, and yet, I feel terrible for not giving them enough credits they deserve. Their açaí bowls have been perfect for the summer season. Be warned: the menu may change. Yesterday, I came for my favorite treat: Almond Bowl. The bowl consisted of açaí puree as a base, almond butter atop of it, granola, cuts of banana, and finally, generous scoops of blueberries. Of course, I'd thrown in the generous amount of honey. Oh lawd, it never failed to satisfy my sweet tooth craving, and it's healthy! The invigorating effect left my body brimming with energy. Their service was very accommodating too, which earned my commendation. Once they become aware of my hearing loss, they quickly adapt to an alternative mode of communication, so they could notify me once my order was completed. Some of them knew fingerspelling, which made the experience even more pleasant. Kudo! read more

I've bought way too many açaí bowls than I care to admit to. I know a good açaí bowl and I know an imposter! Lol. South block has got it down. I wish it was cheaper but my reasoning is....the actual açaí berry is only imported by one or two companies, south block product is fresh and finally i justify it by the fact that it is filling enough to be a meal. This location is my favorite because the staff are genuine and friendly and offer consistent product. Thank you read more

My go-to at union market when I don't want processed food or meat. I am allergic to pineapple and they only have one green smoothie on the menu here unlike other locations that have non-pineapple green smoothies. However, they quickly recommended a substitute for the pineapple juice and my smoothie was delicious. They use all fresh ingredients and I love that you can watch them make it so you see what the menu says is what you get - no added sugar or syrup. Thanks, South Block! read more

Unfortunately the problem still isn't resolved and I still cannot use my points that I have accumulated toward anything, but if I pay for the whole transaction via credit card (which defeats the purpose) then obviously the transaction goes thru! Then what's the point of accumulating points?? read more

The Super Green Smoothie is great. I had then add a extra ginger to my drink. They are constantly busy even during the winter month like today. I will back back here since my job is about five blocks from here. read more

They seem to have addressed the previous issues. Staff now is top notch and they send out superior product.

My wife and I have now been to this South Block location twice in the past month, and we love it! There is usually a bit of a line, but it makes sense such they make delicious acai bowls and smoothies. We have tried the warrior bowl and the PB bowl. The warrior bowl includes fresh cut strawberries and has a very fresh/crisp flavor and the PB bowl has peanut butter mixed with the açaí giving it a creamer feel. I love seeing that all the fruit is cut fresh as they make the bowls (which they make fast!). Also of note, the granola here is delicious which is what I believe separates this place from other places, so sweet and crunchy. Can't wait till we go back for our third trip :) read more

NOT A JUICE BAR. Advertising juice bar and fresh pressed but everything is pre-bottled and you can not order fresh pressed juice. Tried to get a celery juice with no ice, couldn't do it. Tried to get a kale and apple, couldn't do it. It's an açaí bowl place with CVS smoothies on the side. Açaí bowl is dank tho. read more

South Block is inside the Union Market and is located near the back of the building. I got the SuperGreen smoothie with ginger. Awesome flavor and the service was great. I like the idea of them putting the drinks in the cooler for pickup orders so they stay at the ideal temperature. The price is $8 for a smoothie, which is standard for the DC area. I would come again and try their other flavors if I am at Union market again. read more

Oh how I love thee. This never fails to disappoint. A little expensive imo. However can you put a price in healthy? Acai bowls are really good! read more

I always stop by this South Block when I venture into the Union Market! They have my all-time two favorites on their menu: the super green smoothie and the warrior bowl. While it's a little pricer than your average Smoothie King smoothie, you can really taste the difference in the freshness of their ingredients. They pack it FULL of fresh fruity goodness and it is surprisingly very filling. No artificial sweeteners needed, this stuff tastes amazing. Also, extra points for instagram worthy bowls. read more

This was my first time trying an Açaí bowl and I was not disappointed! The shop is located in union market and it very cute and clean. Due to the location in the market there isn't much seating right by the restaurant stall, but if you walk around the market you will eventually find a seat. The açaí bowl itself was very good and refreshing! The fruit was very fresh, and seemed like it was very good quality. I got the warrior bowl, and the price for the bowl was about $11. It's very vegetarian and vegan friendly, and they had three different options for the açaí bowl as well as smoothies. One thing to keep in mind is that they are a CASHLESS OPERATION! So remember to bring your card. I would definitely go there again! read more

My first acai bowl and it was pretty good. I have heard a lot of hype about the greatness of acai bowls. I agree that the acai bowl was very refreshing and healthy, but it seems like something that I could have made at home. I got the California bowl made with Strawberry Banana smoothie, which comes with Strawberry, Banana, and Blueberry toppings and granola. I think the toppings and granola help with the texture of the bowl because the smoothie seemed a little too runny for my liking. Another thing was that the smoothie was soooooo cold! Making it difficult to eat. The toppings were the lifesaver! In the end, I like that South Block has a bottle of chia seeds that you can add as many chia seeds as you like. Can't forget those omega 3's! read more

The acai bowls are good, but they are overpriced. If they were the most amazing acai bowls I've ever had, then I wouldn't mind paying the higher price. Since they are just average (and still highly priced) I will probably not come back. read more

Tried a PBJ bowl for pick-up and it was pretty tasty, lots of banana, granola, and blueberry but what was weird was the acai mix was very watery and icey-tasting. Gave my sensitive teeth a hard time. Maybe something to do with my order timing, but I probably won't try again with many other good options in town. read more

I haven't been to union market since it was open. Made it my way here last week for some acai bowl fix. So glad I came. I got the California bowl with goji berry, and I love it, though it's on a liquid-y side for a bowl. It's probably best acai bowl I've had in DC, as an avid acai bowl chaser who's always looking for good acai bowls while traveling. The location has a limited menu and toppings (ie: bee pollen), but def worth coming if in the area. And the very friendly staff is a plus too!! read more

Very good service, they just don't have the full menu which stinks. It's super abbreviated. Really wish they had Nutella. I live in NE DC and if they had Nutella I'd be here several times a week as opposed to once a month. read more

There's nothing more refreshing than a delicious açaí bowl on a hot summer day! South Block makes the best açaí bowls in the city. The staff here is wonderful and professional. The provide excellent customer service. This time, I got the PBJ Bowl. It is rich in texture and packed with flavor. The bowls are also very nutritious. For example, the mermaid bowl has an ingredient called blue majik. This ingredient is helpful to those suffering from joint pain. The entire menu has extremely nutritious ingredients that brings healing to our bodies. If you have not tried one of their bowls yet, you are seriously missing out! read more

Love this spot. Used to be a regular when I lived up the street and came back for a visit so I thought I'd stop for a quick bowl. Great service and they have done an excellent way of adapting to covid regulations. Lou helped me out and was very kind and helpful. The man deserves a raise. I'm The whole staff was hard at work and my order was ready very quickly. A smoothies lovers must. I will be back for sure. read more

Each of the bowls are delicious and I would highly recommend them. The only problem with South Block are their wait time is too long when you order online. I ordered online on a Saturday at 1:47 PM and selected for pick up. It took about 25 minutes for them to make it. Feels like a fruit bowl should take less time than that. read more

This south block at union market has been nothing but a life changing experience the staff is wonderful and the mermaid bowl is to die for

Delicious açaí bowls. I usually go to the location in Del Ray Alexandria, and I was disappointed that there were not as many bowls to choose from at this location. Anyway, I had a warrior bowl and like always, it was awesome. I will definitely go to my regular location though if I wanted to try something out of the ordinary with more options. Best granola ever here with the blend of different seeds and nuts. These açaí bowls are a great health conscious substitute for breakfast. Very filling. read more

Quantity for the bowls is huge. Very good bang for your buck. I like the traditional açaí bowl from here but decided to try the mermaid bowl. Tasted so good I'm growing fins. Mrrrmrrrmrr (that's the noise I imagine mermaids make) read more

First time ever having one I always see them looked so good. So while visiting I decided what the heck. The granola was delicious not too crunchy it was great and the yogurt part was cold in which it was suppose to be and of course fresh fruit! read more

Best acai bowls in 5th st by far. They have great service , they make them on the spot. Don't have to wait a long line to get the bowl and their constantly busy . South Block has the best bowls , plus they have a very good granola , very crispy and yummy . So I'm a huge granola girl but I was super impressed. I try going in the afternoon , to replace it for my lunch . Is very filling and the blueberries, bananas, are everything. If is you're first time here ask the cashier she normally gives you good recommendations . read more

The cashier gave my drink away. She didn't even call my name for it like she said that she would. She said oh, the other worker can just make me another one as if it was no big deal. I had been waiting 10 mins for my drink and she rings someone up and gives them my drink. So infuriating! First time experience too! Please tell her to get off her cellphone while she's interacting with customers. The customer service was awful as a previous customer before me had her order screwed up. She has a nut and granola allergy and specifically asked to not have it all. Other than that, I can say that I do like the smoothie. read more

Worse experience ever! Did not take long to take my order, but took entirely too long to complete my order. It was very unorganized!!! The cashier took several orders and the workers completed the orders out of turn. I saw people who ordered after me receive their orders before me. It was one lady that walked up and kept touching everyone order that was placed in the refrigerator, so I asked her why was she touching everyone's stuff during this pandemic. I also notified the staff of what she was doing. There were three employees working and the forth one that joined was not wearing gloves while preparing orders. After waiting 30 minutes, I asked to be refunded! They need some structure at this location! read more

I didn't think açaí bowls would be for me. I'm not a health nut, vegan, or anything close. Wow was I wrong. The PB+J bowl may have been the best single thing I've ever had at Union Market. If you've never been, give this place a shot and you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was. read more

I love love love the warrior bowl (+coconut). I sometimes stop by Union Market after my weekend long runs with my boyfriend and get one. Yes, it's usually crowded but that's a good sign! If the stand is crowded it must mean they are on to something good. I highly recommend stopping by. The only downside is the price $10 for an acai bowl is pretty steep but I will pay it any day for one of these. read more

Love them fresh fruit everytime I go. Great customer service. It's also nice that I see the same faces when I get my warrior bowl after hot yoga. I've had other açaí bowls and there's just no comparison read more
