My friends and I stopped by in Pacifica on the way to Santa Cruz for a day trip at the end of the long weekend. They wanted coffee from nearby Soul Grind Coffee Roasters, but I on the other hand preferred a smoothie. I ordered a Red Leader smoothie online to pick up while waiting for my friends' coffees to be ready at Soul Grind. It was only $8, tax included! I thought for sure it would be smaller than normal, but when I arrived, I was surprised to see it was the same size as anywhere else. The smoothie was simple and straightforward - not a lot of ingredients, but it was a solid meal replacement for breakfast. read more

The Acai Spot - Red Leader - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pacifica, California

When I tell you this is some of the BEST açaí I have ever had... I am not joking. Ever since I tasted this açaí.. I've thought about it on a daily basis. Like why is it so good? I can't recommend this place enough... I got a medium sized bowl in hopes to split it with someone else. Well actually I ate pretty much the whole thing lol. It was THAT good. The peanut butter is very rich.. Nutella.. yeaaah this place is good. read more

The Acai Spot - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pacifica, California

First timer. I usually go to palmetto for an acaii bowl/smoothie. Didn't know about this place. Residing in south San Francisco, the drive to Burlingame is sometimes a little far. The drive to Pacifica is somewhat better and convenient. I got an acaii bowl for my first try and was good. They were out of my first choice dragon fruit, but that's okay. I was also told I was able to mix two bases, so I chose the spirulina and acaii. I'll be coming back. Not too often bc the prices add up hehe but yes, I'll be back. Shoutout to Andy for taking care of me! Thank you, Andy! read more

The Acai Spot - Acaii bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pacifica, California

What a delicious spot for acai bowls near the ocean! We stopped by on a whim craving some colorful acai bowls during our day in Pacifica and left with a newly discovered favorite food spot in the area. We got build-your-own bowls and layered up with the gorgeous, VIBRANT, tropical hues of Acai, Dragonfruit, and Blue Spirulina. The bases have a well-balanced consistency -- not too soft that everything melts quickly but not too frozen that it's like eating ice. I also like their unique toppings -- it's unlimited and we topped up with blackberries, strawberries, granolas, and chocolate chips! The choco chips add a rich, creamy, chewy component to your bowl that I've never had at other Acai spots! However, I have to take 2 stars off for the service -- the workers don't give off a welcoming vibe and aren't very friendly. They don't greet you and I remember one time the guy helping us had a short and snappy attitude... They also seem short-staffed -- there was only 1 worker fulfilling both online orders and in-store orders, which resulted in everyone in line waiting for 15 minutes while all the online orders were finished first by 1 worker. Overall, acai bowls are great but service could really use some improvement. read more

The bases itself are perfect consistency, it is cold enough to where bowl doesnt melt while holding and eating. Fruit toppings are fresh and ripe! Will definitely be returning, great spot! read more

This was my first time stoping by The Açaí Spot. It's located in a strip mall, so plenty of free parking. When I walked in, it wasn't busy and the guy didn't acknowledge me. He was finishing up a DoorDash order and finally helped me. The ordering instructions were very clear- pick a size, a base, toppings, drizzle and nut butter if you'd like. I went with the Açaí base with granola, chia pudding, coconut, strawberries, bananas and honey. Everything went really well together and the portions were generous. The place itself wasn't too impressive- although they do have cool stools. A group of teens walked in as I was about to pay and the guy looked at them but didn't greet them. A simple hello or even a smile makes hell of a difference. read more

Before they opened, V discovered, via Maps search, that The Açaí Spot was to open their Pacifica store, just a few minutes' drive from our house. We were excited to try out a new spot that serves the popular breakfast or snack option. Social media posts of their vibrantly presented bowls of blended frozen smoothie-like bases topped with a variety of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, granola and sauces like nutella, cookie butter, etc. helped to reel us in. Located at the Linda Mar Shopping Center, parking is easy to find in the spacious lot. We have always found a space to park just steps away from the front entrance. The shoppe is simple in decor with hardwood floors, black walls and tables, and fruit-themed seats. They also have bar seating facing the front window. The venue always appears to be fairly clean every time we visit. The Açaí Spot's menu is short and simply composed of build-your-own bowls and a list of fruit smoothies. The steps to building a bowl are straightforward: 1. CHOOSE BOWL size (12 oz for $12.00, 16oz for $14.00, 24oz for $16.00) 2. CHOOSE BASES (AÇAÍ, DRAGON FRUIT, COCONUT, UBE, MATCHA, BLUE SPIRULINA, and for an extra $1 CHIA PUDDING) - V usually goes for an açaí base. I always have a bottom layer of granola with coconut and matcha bases...and sometimes even chia pudding (Yes, you can pick multiple bases!) Mom likes the ube. 3. CHOOSE TOPPINGS (CHIA PUDDING, GOJIBERRIES, STRAWBERRY, CHIA SEEDS, BANANA, ALMONDS, BLACKBERRIES, COCONUT SHAVING, BLUEBERRY, CHOCOLATE CHIPS, CRUMBLED OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE), DRIZZLES (HONEY DRIZZLE, AGAVE DRIZZLE, CONDENSED MILK) AND NUT BUTTERS (PEANUT BUTTER, ALMOND BUTTER). With the exception of more butter for an extra $1, I think that you can choose to have all of the selections of toppings and drizzles. I like to top with chia pudding, strawberry, banana, almond slivers, blueberry and sometimes crumbled oatmeal raisin cookie, agave drizzle and almond butter. Our bowls are always sumptuous. Service here is just like at an ice cream shoppe - order at the counter and pay once all of your items are made. Easy peasy. For the most part, the staff is usually warm and friendly. The Açaí Spot is currently our favourite açaí shoppe. After we brought Mom here, she craved a bowl so much that she searched for a place nearby her house to get another...which she said was not as good as what she got from here. read more

A pretty cute place inside with fruit decor for chairs and very clean. Aside from the menu, there is a small section that sells grab and go items like power bars and snacks. We came to grab a couple of bowls and I have to say the staff wasn't very welcoming. It almost seemed like she didn't want to be there. No smile, no greeting and not really much enthusiasm. After putting in our first order it looked like they were out of açaí. She was rummaging through 4 different containers before she found one she could scoop some out of. Wanted granola, also out and needed to be refilled. Wanted blueberries, also out and needed to be refilled. Only strawberries and bananas seemed to be stocked. I could understand being out of items if there were a constant stream of customers but there were nobody there when we entered. I think a better use of down time could be spent restocking. Finally got our order and paid. A half hearted "thank you" and she was on to the next customer. Taste and presentation was ok but service could use some work. read more

Stopped by with my mom after craving some acai. I was disappointed to know that all the flavors had some form of added sugar...it feels ironic since acai bowls are meant to be a health conscious food...anyway the bowl I ordered had matcha and acai...it didn't taste bad but the matcha was just way too sweet for my taste. I had to throw away the bowl as a result-- as a health conscious person it didn't feel right to put that into my body. If you don't mind the added sugar though, this place is alright... read more

Worst açaí bowl spot ever. We tried their smoothies and they all tasted like nothing. The acai smoothie didn't even look like it had acai in it. It had a weird gray color and tasted watery. The strawberry banana with almond butter smoothie tasted even more bland with no sweetness at all. 100% would not recommend. read more

I was slow to the açaí movement, so when this opened, I made it a point to try. It did not disappoint and I am now a regular customer. I had a lot of questions on my first visit and they were so patient and kind. Such a great new Pacifica spot for the family to enjoy! read more

Finally.. an acai spot in pacifica. Came here on a sunday night at 6pm and their bowls still tasted super fresh. Interior is pretty dark and there are some cute chairs, but limited eating inside, so its best to go to the beach and eat it. Service was fast as we were the only ones in line. Got an acai base + all the fruits, almond butter & chia pudding. Unfortunately they were out of coconut shreds, but still was good regardless. Me and my bf love a good base and their acai base was pretty good and not sour at all compared to other acai spots. The good thing about this spot is that they have a good amount of topping selections and it's not limited. Will come back :) read more

My friend and I entered the establishment 2 hours before closing and immediately felt uncomfortable and rushed because the worker was giving rude stares and attitude. The worker was conversing with their presumed significant other and made us seem like we were an inconvenience. We asked if there was a limit for toppings and the worker replied in an aggressive tone that there was no limit. Ultimately, we chose to leave because we didn't want to remain in the uncomfortable environment. Would've liked to try enjoy a bowl, but unfortunately the vibe was ruined. read more

So glad I stopped by this place! Amazing food, service, and ambiance. I highly recommend this place.

Walked in on a Monday at 5:55pm with my family hoping to love this place. Came in to try and immediately got long stares by associates after a minute of staring at each other, the guy goes "what can I get you, we only have dragon fruit or matcha" in the most inconvenient tone cmon now.... Anyways, hoping you have a better experience because I was hoping to have a cool local açaí spot to go to. read more

Fire açaí bowls and very clean! Loved it and enjoyed it! Not only that, amazing customer service!!!!

I hope they take this as a constructive criticism. The store looks dirty. I love açaí but the store looks unsanitary. They would place their phone on the chopping board ; use their phone with the gloves they are using to serve your fruits and bowls; they don't change their gloves. the trays and freezer look chaotic. The floor looks like it hasn't been mopped for ages. I stopped going no matter how I love açaí coz it just looks too dirty to me. I don't know but that's my opinion. read more

The Acai Spot - Blue Leader Smoothie - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pacifica, California

Wandered in here apparently the week after they opened. Acai bowls are so easy in theory but al the prep, cleanup and time spent with the food accessories like granola, banana, blah blah. It's just so much work. Thankfully the Acai Spot has you covered. There wasn't a line (but they're also so brand new) and no influencer has come in yet. I adored that the theme of their smoothies and bowls are based on a certain large studio owned franchise that has been around forever. I think THAT alone was the selling point for me. Nerds Rejoice! I hope they do really well. THe bowls were a good zie and the smoothie was well blended. Will deifnintley come back just so I can order every item on the menu. Highly recommend! read more

This was my first time at this place, and at first, I wasn't sure how to order. But after watching the people in line, I realized it's kind of like eating at Chipotle or Mod Pizza. You get to choose what ingredients you want, and the staff puts it all together for you. They have three sizes - small (12oz,) medium (14oz), and large (16oz). I liked that the price is set depending on the size you choose, and you can pick any toppings you want. Just be careful not to add too much, or it might not all fit - but the staff will make it work somehow. I have to say, the açaí bowl I got was amazing! I was able to pick two bases and the toppings I wanted, which was awesome. The staff were really nice, but the only issue is that there's a glass barrier between you and the staff, so it can be hard for them to hear your order. They also have smoothies as an alternative option to the açaí bowl. The indoor seating is nice, and the furniture matches the açaí theme. The seats are shaped like different fruits, which adds a fun touch. The tables are a bit low, though, so if you have back problems, it might not be the most comfortable. There is a section near the window with barstools, though, which could be a better option. The staff were friendly and answered my questions, but they were focused on making the bowls, so they weren't super chatty. The quality of the food is good, and the prices are fair for the size of the bowl you get. I would definitely come back here again. read more

One Star - Extremely Disappointed This was my first time here, and it will definitely be my last. The experience was a big disappointment. The young girl preparing my bowl was wearing gloves but touched her phone and other surfaces with them before continuing to make my food -- completely unsanitary. I was shocked by the lack of basic hygiene and honestly feel like I should report this to the health department. On top of that, the staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst nightmare. Absolutely disgusting. Yuck read more

They were friendly and polite. My açaí bowls were delicious. The price was reasonable. I will be back soon

I've been looking forward to this place since it opened and it has left me coming back for more each time. Andy and Joe have provided top notch service and their ability to put together these delicious bowls and shakes are beyond magical. The vibe in the place is very welcoming. You are greeted like family and the menus are large enough to see. They have many different choices. I have tried the açaí bowl with Nutella, honey, banana and strawberry and man oh man it was bursting with flavor!! But my absolute favorite and go to right now was the coconut with granola, raspberry/blueberry, almonds, coconut shavings and honey. Recently they added condensed milk topping that made the flavors come alive in my mouth. So delicious it will have you craving for more!! Not to mention the beach is right across the street! Imagine enjoying one of these delicious goodies on the sand.. Am I Right or what!!! They do have seating inside if you can't wait to eat or they will gladly provided bowl covers so you can take it on the go. They do also carry a variety of drinks and have healthy snacks available to eat as well. You need to come by this place if you are in pacifica. It's an absolute must!!! Thank you Andy and Joe! read more
