Happened upon South Block, when I checked in at the GW gym. It is located upstairs, and they make it convenient for anyone to place their orders. You can let staff know what you want or use their self-ordering kiosk or app. If you use their app, you get $5 off on your first app order $10 or more. I ordered on the app, and after I finished my workout, I went back upstairs, saw my protein smoothie in the to-go fridge, and grabbed it. I sat down in their dining area (which was chill and quiet) to enjoy my strawberry and banana smoothie with whey protein, and it was delicious! read more

Amazing service from Lucas! He was helpful in picking out what to get and happy to make modifications :)

This was my first açaí bowl experience! This store is located inside of the GW gym, so it was pretty small and the seating area was limited. There were a lot of students doing an online order, so it did take a long time to get my order. I ordered the warrior bowl and it was great! I liked how it wasn't overly sweet but more fruity, so it was perfect to eat on a hot day like today. Portion sizes were also pretty big. I'm definitely trying out their other options next time! read more

South Block was amazing. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and my order was made quickly and exactly how I wanted it. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, you can really tell they use quality ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to everyone. read more

Went to the South Block GW Foggy Bottom location around 8:40. The employee was nasty, had a horrible attitude, laughed at us, and lied about the store being closed even though the posted closing time was 9:00. Completely unprofessional and rude. Really disappointing experience. read more

Absolutely love the smoothies and acai bowls, HOWEVER, I had a horrible experience today with one of the employees. She was absolutely rude, making me wait around 5 minutes with no one in line... moreover, very dismissive and mean while taking my order didn't say hi or thank you and almost seemed aggravated when asking me to tap my card :/ I love the other employees but this girl is insanely mean. read more

The food is amazing- prices are a little high but its okay. the workers are soooo rude. whoever merchant "Awesome B" is at this location I genuinely have not met anyone more rude. she had airpods in and was talking to a friend on the phone and didnt say hi and when i said excuse me to ask a question she looked up and rolled her eyes. didnt say anything other than yes or no and would be laughing into her phone while im trying to order?? The service was BAFFLING read more

Delicious and filling acaii bowl. Great for a quick bite and good amount of indoor seating in the area. read more

South Block - Nutella - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The smoothies are great and the service is amazing! The staff is so kind and it's such a good vibe. 10/10 would recommend.

Update on my recent review! They contacted me and I was actually going to visit again! To make the story short. I told them some details and my opinion about an incident that happened in the store while I was there and it seems they didn't want any advice. Pretty unprofessional if you ask me. read more

South Block - Messages from owner - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My husband and I wanted a smoothie as a light dinner. First thing the smoothie shop is in the GW university gym so you have to give them your drivers license until you leave. The smoothie bar has a lot of clean options. I got the super green smoothie which was so tasty and not too sweet. I could taste the kale, but it wasn't overpowering. My husband had the peanut blast smoothie which was tasty as well. However after taking a few sips of my smoothies I noticed it was very hard to drink. I opened the cup and saw that it was not blended well at all. I had large chunks of banana and mango just sitting in the smoothie. This was disappointing as someone recommended this place to me and we walked a couple of miles just to visit. I would definitely go back as I see the potential I just think someone was not paying attention. read more

The best açaí bowls in DC; the warrior bowl is my fave! They also have smoothies and pressed juices. I highly recommend this and the waiting line will indicate why people continue to come back. read more

South Block - Warrior Bowl: Blend / organic acai, bananas, strawberry, pineapple juice Topped / Handmade Granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Overpriced asf and took 40 minutes to make my food just to fuck up the order. Never coming here again

Points of clarification: If you're not a GWU student you need to bring a PHOTO ID. An ID without a photo will not be accepted at the front gate. Each guest in the party must have a photo ID. If a gust is a minor, their accompanying legal guardians ID will suffice. Service animals are allowed in the building but emotional support animals and other pets are not. Smoothies are great. Ask for them to add ginger! read more

This south block is amazing! The açaí bowls are so delicious, and the service is great! Claudia is very sweet and accommodating! I would definitely recommend going here! read more

Today, I tried South Block at GWU and I was not disappointed. I ordered the warrior bowl, an açaí bowl with organic açaí, bananas, strawberry, & pineapple juice -- topped with granola, strawberries, blueberries & bananas. It was delicious, I have a new found love for açaí bowls so since there's one close to work, I'm super excited. The only downfall is that South Block is technically on GWU campus and doesn't open until 10am, the times are adjusted for students and not working professionals in the area. It would be nice if South Block opened at 8/9am so that I could grab it for breakfast and not lunch. But that's minor. All in all, good stuff, next I want to try a smoothie! read more

South Block - Warrior Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

FYI: This particular location is located on GWU premises so just be sure to either have your Uni ID on you or a regular one which they hold until you leave. Also be aware that this location is not open year round (they have just reopened as the school year has started back again). Seating is semi-abundant but a bit scattered. No real vibes going on here to lounge about as it is pretty much set up for grab and go. Service is okay, but rather dry and a bit sloppy. I find that the packaged food options aren't the best and overpriced so go elsewhere for food (like the Whole Foods just steps away). But honestly, if you are going to WF anyways, you might as well get a drink there as they now have fresh juices and blended beverages as well.. read more

Yummy drinks and bowls, with great service located just up the stairs from the entrance. (And they take Gworld!) If you're not a GW student, no worries! Just have your ID on you to enter. I always get the large power smoothie (SOOO GOOD) with extra whey protein for about $10. Slightly pricey imo, but that seems to be the norm with these kinds of things. My only complaint is that they don't open until 10am (or noon on Sundays), which is pretty inconvenient for getting protein after my 7am workouts. read more

Located inside the GW gym; South Block is a good place to stop by after a workout (or anytime really) for some açaí bowls. They have pretty good options but are a bit on the pricey side. Try the warrior and cali bowl! read more

A classic. Nothing special about their food but it hits the spot when you want a smoothie or açaí bowl

Great smoothies and vegan options, love the PBJ bowl. However, the service is a miss. Today it took 16 minutes for my smoothie to be ready with only 2-3 people ahead of me in line. This location consistently takes forever and serves people out of order with no clear reasoning. Also, every time I ask for smoothie "for here" in a glass reusable bowl instead of the plastic cup, they mess up and give me the plastic container anyway. Portions are also inconsistent for the high prices. read more

I'm literally obsessed with South Block's Warrior (Açaí) Bowl. I hhhhhhighly recommend it. My friends also love the PJ & J bowl (or something like that). To put it in perspective: I've gone to 4 in my area in about a 10-day span--because they're just that good! The bowls are fresh and light, yet so satiating. Wait; why are you still reading this? You should be on your way!! read more

I am a big fan of south block but this location is extremely slow. There were approximately three employees making smoothies but only one making the bowls/putting the toppings on. This created a significant wait in which people who ordered smoothies were served first even if they ordered afterward. While the smoothie bowl was not as beautiful as the location in Georgetown, it still tasted great. read more

Found a piece of paper and a chunk of rubber in my smoothie. I love this place but I'm very confused as to how these things got in there. Pretty disappointed read more

Here on vacation and we ate terribly the day before, so we wanted something on the healthier side to redeem ourselves. We found South Block on Yelp and couldn't have been more satisfied. I had the Almond Butter Açai bowl and it was to dieeee for. The açai was the perfect consistency & the portion of blueberries, granola etc was just right. Would love to return before we head back home read more

Love this place! Came here twice while I was in town for work. Don't be deterred by the fact that it's in the student wellness center on the GW campus. Just hand them a form of of ID and they'll let you in to get your smoothie, smoothie bowl, or juice. read more

This review is based solely on the tangy yogurt (and a little on the smoothies.) For any fools who don't go to GW, you are SOL because you need an ID to get in. This is the best kept secret for tangy yogurt. It is cheap and really good. I think they actually put too much mix in the machine so it is always really strong. Plus, they give you a shit-ton. I think they have mochi too. It is $3.50 for a ginormous cup of yogurt. Like huge. Plus it's in the gym so you feel healthy when you eat it. read more

This place serves Acai bowls, the food of the gods - Typically found only in Brazil. Mad props go to GWU for this diamond in the rough!!! Also, get a double shot of wheat grass. Don't ask any questions, just do it. read more

I'm obsessed. This is hands down my favorite establishment in all of DC. The açaí bowls are beyond delicious, they are magical. I've raved about it so much that my friends thought that I might be overhyping it, until they've tried as well. They agree, it's absurdly good. This place is a must try. My only complaint is that there isn't a location in Adams Morgan! Pro Tip: top with a scoop of peanut butter, it's incredible! read more

Amir and his staff are awesome.. Very Friendly! Love the enviroment. Too bad they don't serve food anymore. My favorite was the buffalo burrito! Make sure to try the Peach Breeze Smoothie.. read more

This place has really gold acai bowls, but the downside to this is that the bowl size in my opinion is small. For the amount of money I paid, I should have had a larger acai bowl. Nonetheless, the fruits and the ingredients are all fresh! read more

South Block - Acai bowl! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place is dank. I've been going to the Foggy Bottom South Block for four years, & it just keeps getting better. Their menu has expanded (it now includes the AMAZING Magic Dragon Bowl, which I highly recommend) & their efficiency is superb. Although I know work by the Union Market South Block (which is also great), this place will always hold a special place in my heart (& my tummy!) Anthony, the manager, is always very accommodating to food allergies (one of my close friends has a peanut allergy) & the staff is incredible! PS: Please bring back the Cherry Blossom Bowl next spring! It's one of my seasonal favorites! read more

This was a great surprise! In DC from Out of town and I was craving a healthy fulfilling breakfast. The açaí bowl was yummy.. great size, the staff was super nice and helpful. I will surely return. The bowl was refreshing and the granola just Delish!!!!! The berries where fresh... add a little honey and chai seeds and you won't be disappointed! read more

I got the Magic Dragon Bowl, taste super good. It was perfect. I wish I could try other menu as well. It was so close from my hotel and I wanted to eat something healthy and refreshing. It is located in GWU gym, I'm not a student of GWU, I gave my ID to front desk and they let me in. read more

Wasn't impressed with the service and the less than friendly lady that took my order. I've definitely had better acaí bowls, but it wasn't bad. read more

This is the best smoothie and acai bowl place in Foggy Bottom!! Their PB&J acai bowl is to die for, but what makes this place extra special is the manager, Anthony, and all the great staff! They also sell delicious avocado toast and fresh pressed juices. Definitely recommend for when you're looking for a nutritious and delicious treat! read more

South Block sells one of the best açaí bowls I've ever had. I love the warrior bowl, with an açaí base, blueberries, strawberries, banana, and granola. I also love adding chia seeds and a little bit of fresh honey on mine. Keeps me full for hours, even though I finish it in a matter of minutes. The fruit is always fresh, and the granola is some of the best I've had. The smoothie base is also a perfect consistency and doesn't have too much ice. It's almost already a little melted by the time you get it, which I personally like. The textures all work together really well, and the small bowls are packed with flavor! Only downside is that they are pricey, but you definitely do get what you pay for. The frozen yogurt is also great too! read more

I love Anthony & his entire crew, especially Devon & Walter! Acai bowls are my fave & South Block is always my number one place to go for one! read more

This is my favorite place to grab a quick snack after a workout. The employees are very kind and personable. The açai bowls and avocado toasts are healthy and delicious. There is never a long wait and is the perfect place to go for a nice healthy and fresh snack made with the best ingredients read more

The chicken ceasar wrap here is as good as they come. Amir and his staff are so friendly -- last time I was in, he gave me a free wheatgrass shot. That was something new for sure - now I'm hooked. The tortilla pizzas are also killer - my favorite place to drop into when I'm hungry and want to eat guilt free. kudos Campus fresh, keep it coming. read more
