    Smoothies
    Shannon F.

    Smoothies were ready quick and a smoothie under $10 in this economy feels like a steal. Would go back

    Strawberry Cloud Smoothie *now with cocowhip*
    Hannah S.

    I have to be honest here...I am a smoothie fanatic. I have made myself a smoothie bowl or a smoothie almost every morning for the last 8 or 9 years, so I am very particular on the few outings a year I grab a smoothie. With that said, South Block, brava. The gentleman working at the counter was extremely nice and asked me about different customizations for my order. I went with the Strawberry Cloud and left the coconut foam and strawberry glaze in. I'm not the biggest coconut fan in general, but it's a nice acquired taste and a beautiful and complimentary texture. As far as the strawberry glaze was concerned, it was more of a tart strawberry sauce rather than a sweet jelly, which added a nice fresh and distinct strawberry element to the handful of flavors going on. The actual smoothie itself stands alone without the glaze and whip. Beautiful texture and really balanced flavors. I liked what it came with for interest and color, though! All and all at $12 for 16oz, I do think this is one of the fairly-priced higher quality smoothies I have tried. Plenty of places charge that for glorified fruit ice or something lacking flavor. I will be back.

    Great açaí bowl shop in Logan Circle! My wife and I came by and tried the Valentines Day strawberry chocolate açaí bowl for two and loved it. The staff and ambiance is great too but there is limited seating.

    Smoothies and smoothie bowls. Standing tables and one sitting table outside. Decent amount of seating inside. Good stuff!

    Six Custom 6 Pack Juice
    Gregory C.

    I was looking for a juice spot and found this on Yelp. Glad I did! I ended up getting two different packs and loved it. My favorites were refresh and glow. I wish they had matcha lattes, but they do have a chai latte.

    When a smoothie or coffee place is TOO trendy it can be a red flag. However, SB comes off as trendy...then delivers quick service and a helluva menu. We enjoyed the "greenest" smoothie available and the Warrior Bowl. Both fueled the rest of our morning as we were "walking into" mile 6 of 8. There's something for everyone at SB; the space curls around, goes on and on, and several vendors/bakers also had some delectable offerings. We're glad we did a quick search before going to a *AHEM mainstream/chain smoothie place.

    Not my favorite location but love the smoothies. I usually grab the greens and ginger smoothie and it never disappoints.

    The Warrior + Nutella Bowl so good! Added peanut butter too Warrior + Nutella Bowl

    Came here because our hotel breakfast wasn't that great. My sister and I ordered the loaded toast which is an avocado toast, micro greens, and cage free hard boiled egg. They have 2 more toast options to choose from which are the avocado toast and the banana toast. The avocado toast consisted of avocado, olive oil, crushed red pepper, pink Himalayan salt, and hemp hearts. The banana toast is almond butter, banana, handmade granola, raw honey, and cinnamon. The place is clean and they have a takeout window next to the entrance for those on the go but don't want to come inside. There is limited seating so hopefully if you have a large group, you come before the rush. Overall delicious toast! Come on in if you're looking for a healthy breakfast or a snack.

    Warrior bowl
    Bobbi D.

    LOVE this place! The açaí bowls are amazing! The California is my fav! And if you don't get the extra honey and chia seeds, you're missing out. This one is SO much faster service than union market. I love the art too! Only wish is for more comfortable seating...like some cushions on these benches, but other than that, love this place!

    Warrior Bowle
    Charnise M.

    This was my second Açaí Bowl experience, and my favorite! Look at that picture, the fruit is fresh and piled high! The granola was so good too! I should have drizzled some honey on the top or gotten some of the chocolate pieces. That would have set it off. But it was awesome as it comes. I am a sweet girlie, and the Açaí mixed with pineapple was perfect! The service was great, quick, easy, and friendly. The establishment was clean, I even had to use the restroom and that was clean too. I enjoyed sitting there to eat too, they have big windows to look out of which was nice.

They were playing bossa and jazz. I opted for the Aren latte and Indonesian beef rissole. Aren latte: 5/5 Latte with an in-house made Aren (palm sugar from West Java) for that hint of molasses and dark brown sugar This was one of my favorite coffees I've had in a while. There was a delicious coffee taste not overshadowed but rather enhanced by the smoky sweet taste of the Aren. I'll be thinking about this latte for a while. Indonesian beef rissole: 3/5 Batter-like skin rolled in breadcrumbs filled with savory ground halal beef & sautéed vegetables While I've never had this dish before, I googled pictures of what it should look like, and mine seemed to have significantly less meat than it should've. The taste was still delicious and seasoned and hearty, but it was mostly mush with some veggies and hardly any beef. While I thought the rissole was disappointing, I love the aren latte so much I'll still keep the 5 star review.

I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

The pastry case also looked incredible, I had such a hard time choosing, and I'll definitely be back to try more. I ordered a matcha, and I really appreciated that it wasn't pre-sweetened. It was creamy, earthy, and let the matcha shine. If you like your matcha a little sweeter, I'd recommend adding their in-house pistachio syrup. The only small downside was that it seemed like they use matcha concentrate that's prepared in advance rather than whisking each drink fresh. It was still good, but I do prefer freshly whisked matcha. Even with that, I'd absolutely come back. Their menu is extensive, everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious, and the whole space has such a welcoming vibe. Also, take a minute to read the story behind the name "Tatte." It's such a sweet story and made me appreciate this place even more.
