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

    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.

    Not blended well
    Aisha M.

    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.

    Warrior Bowl: Blend / organic acai, bananas, strawberry, pineapple juice  Topped / Handmade Granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas

    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.

    Warrior Bowl

    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!

    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..

    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.

    Warrior bowl with extra granola

    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!

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

    Popped into this location during a hot afternoon in Georgetown. When I walked in all of the seats…read morewere taken. It was pretty hot inside and garbage on the counter and a full counter. Unfortunately no one said help as I came in because they were on their laptops. I went straight over to the kiosk where I decided to order a (L) lychee green tea. When I went to check out it was $10. I was definitely not expecting to spend that much but because it was so hot I thought today was the day to splurge. I will say that my drink was made pretty quickly but when I went in for the first sip the drink wasn't all the way mixed so all I tasted was green tea and it was kind of warm. Overall I'm not sure that I'll be coming back due to the prices and the lack of customer service. Other than here this chain is typically really good.

    This Gong Cha was neat as it is underground in Georgetown! The first drink we ordered was the…read morePeach Lychee Fruit Drink. It had a very light taste but was a little too sweet for me. The second drink was the Hong Kong style Mango Green Tea. It was a very unique drink with mango jelly in it (real jelly!). I had the Peach Oolong Tea with peach jelly. This drink was good and standard for one of these drinks. The service was ok. We had to order on a kiosk instead of at the counter. The atmosphere was also super nice! Small café but neat ambiance. It was more expensive than other Gong Cha's, but not crazy expensive (just high fees and taxes). I would recommend overall!
