    Nutella

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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..

    Warrior bowl with extra granola
    Jovita S.

    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!

Oftentimes, I don't get enough "crunch" in my acai bowls, so I was very pleased and satisfied with the crunchy texture of this bowl. The granola is homemade and has some chopped nuts (which I believe are almonds), and they added a really nice nutty/savory flavor to the bowl, making it feel more filling. Half (chicken) sandwich and half (mushroom) soup is a good deal. Nothing particularly mind-blowing about these foods, but the soup was hot, and the sandwich warm and satiating. The soup was a bit thin and could be thicker, but the flavors, slightly peppery and salty, were satisfying enough. Service was good and quick. There is a cute patio in the back of the cafe, with plenty of tables and chairs.

Picture this, a cozy setting, the aroma of fresh coffee in the air, and the perfect cup in hand. Can you say latte? Our Cinnamon Almond Lattes were nothing short of perfection, rich, creamy, and topped with a heart shape to celebrate Valentine's Day. They were truly a work of art, especially when paired with a delightful chocolate cookie that melted in your mouth, adding to the overall experience. Our server, who managed the room with grace and expertise, was an absolute gem. He guided us toward the best choices, enhancing our meal with his recommendations.

The ambiance played a significant role in our experience too; with glass walls on three sides, the café felt open and airy, seamlessly connected to the library next door.

After our meal, I wanted to try their Matcha Spritz because the warm weather outdoors made me crave a summer themed drink. This drink was it! I can definitely see myself drinking a few of these unapologetically. Food: My boyfriend and I ordered a few items. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and he ordered the Blueberry Pancakes. And to complete the meal, we ordered a side of scrambled eggs and bacon. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: the flavors on these pancakes were mind blowing but even more special was the warm lemon custard on top and the creamy ricotta to follow. Everything about this dish screamed decadent! And how cute was it to have pieces of strawberry, blueberries, and edible flowers added on top. It brought even more life to a fulfilling dish. The same could also be said about my boyfriend's blueberry pancakes, which he would describe as amazing. But wait, there is more....the scrambled eggs were buttery smooth and scrambled soft. Ah! Heaven on a plate. Their bacon was also perfectly prepared, leaving no room to give this place less than 5 stars. Truly enjoyed dining here and would recommend it to my breakfast lovers.
