    Tables are limited to two identical seating alcoves
    Jill H.

    First time at South Block today. I was craving an acái bowl for lunch and South Block hit the spot. I ordered the Almond Butter Bowl and added strawberries. Points for presentation and quick, friendly service. I didn't order ahead and waited less than 5 minutes for my order. The bowl was a filling, good-sized portion. Not much seating inside (though all spots were available). Seems like a tasty, reliable choice for one's smoothie bowl & I'd definitely come back!

    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.

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

    If you know me, you know I love Açaí bowl and south block is hands down my favorite spot! They have huge portions and definitely do not skip out on making sure you have lots of toppings. The staff is really nice and while there is not too much seating, I do love their little outdoor space! Definitely recommend!

    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!

    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.

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

    Love south block- bowls are amazing. This location is a little cold but food is super good

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ran across this place while looking for the UPS store. I was in the mood for some sort of pastry…read moreso, I popped in. This is a very small bakery but, there were many ppl in line so I figured it would be pretty good. I went in for something sweet as it was about 8 in the morning but, there were scones, fresh out of the oven that I had to try. I got the cheddar and chive scones. OmG. So warm and good. Crisp edges and soft and fluffy everywhere else. I ate it in minutes. This would go amazing with a side of pasta. My goodness. 10 out of 10.

We were lucky enough to snag some goodies and got a bit of everything, we just weren't patient enough to wait to photograph everything. We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. 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!

As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor.

Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full.

Syrups made in house of course and you can tell. Just a perfect latte. I usually am an iced latte person but I recommend getting their lattes hot. Hits different.
