Nutella
Sim B.

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
Danielle H.

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.

Food prep area

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

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!

Disappointing. Good people and friendly customer service but overpriced and subpar bowls, toast, and smoothies.

I really enjoy coming to south block to get smoothies before class. They are always very friendly and the smoothies are delicious.

Writing a review to express my immense gratitude to the staff in this store…read more I was idling my car (SUV AWD) in the alley way across the street, right by the Ukrainian Embassy. Totally inexperienced with ice and snow, I thought it would be ok. Ended up getting stuck there - tried hacking at the ice under the tires to get some traction for 30 minutes but still couldn't make it up the hill. Google search said putting some sand / salt / cat litter under the tires could help and I walked into Amorino hoping to get some salt and try that. The 2 staff who were in there were glad to help, I got about 4 cups of salt from them and spread it under the front tires, and was finally freed from my predicament. THANK YOU so much! Definitely will come back and get gelato with my friends when it gets warm.

It's an international brand, and I've tried it elsewhere and enjoyed it. The Georgetown location is…read morea conversion of a old running store. It's kind of on the edge of the stretch, not the highest foot traffic area, but definitely one of the worst car traffic spots. They have a set of ordering kiosks, and will call you out when they're ready for your order, including the selection of flavors. I got a crepe with gelato; although it said two flavors were included they offered me three small scoops for some reason, which still wasn't a ton. Honestly just getting the basic gelato in a cone with or without a chocolate or a macaron is better. The location has two floors, and you won't hear the honking so much upstairs. Service left something to be desired; I don't begrudge anyone who works for a living but it was not as high-caliber of an experience as I've had at other Amorinos. It also matters that this isn't the best ice cream in DC or even in Georgetown, and we have local gelato as well.

After spending some time at the cat café in Georgetown, a refreshing drink is just what we needed…read moreand this place was only a few steps away! We ordered the Passionfruit Sparkling. I was able to adjust the sweetness level to 70%, but the ice level was fixed. It tasted fresh and the fizziness was perfect to cool off on a warm day! It is located downstairs so it may not be accessible for everyone. Otherwise, the interior is nicely decorated and there are a few tables that tends to get filled up quickly. I usually place my order on their app and the wait was reasonable for how busy it was.

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.
