Perfect post hike acai spot in pacifica! Plenty of parking in shopping center area and seating inside. Great selection of bases for bowl, unlimited toppings + smoothies I got the acai and pitaya base - i appreciated how staff packs the layers in. 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!

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.

Despite it being only 10 am, they didn't have any of the base flavors we wanted in stock. However, the coconut and acai options were delicious. The spacious location offers ample indoor seating.

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.

Inside

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.

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.

Acai with granola, almond butter, coconut shreds, chia seeds, strawberries, and condensed milk drizzle.

Absolutely delicious and friendly service. So many choices for toppings. So glad to have a healthy option in the Linda Mar Shopping center.

Build Your Bowl

Today I came in with my boyfriend and it was nice and clean inside. The service was great! We came from Sacramento after seeing a TikTok video rate this place and as an acai lover I had to try for myself. We did the build your own bowl and let me tell you it was delicious!! All the fruits were fresh and sweet and all the flavors were to die for! I would definitely make the drive and come back!

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 :)

Build Your Bowl

I absolutely LOVE The Açaí Spot This place is a gem -- their açaí bowls and parfaits are always fresh delicious and beautifully made Just look at this cup packed with creamy açaí crunchy granola sweet berries and a sprinkle of coconut -- every bite is perfection The flavors are refreshing and naturally sweet and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients The shop itself has a fun and vibrant vibe and the staff are always friendly and welcoming It's the perfect place for a healthy snack a quick breakfast or a treat after a workout If you're looking for the best açaí in town you HAVE to try The Açaí Spot I can't recommend it enough -- I promise you'll be hooked after your first taste

6pm, dragon fruit base
Samantha I.

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.

Build Your Bowl ! Delicious   5 stars

This place is amazing ! I can't brag on it enough to do them justice.Such treat to find them. So friendly so clean. Just perfection. I absolutely say "Go" Enjoy a piece of Heaven on Earth.

Finally tried palmetto for the custom açaí bowl. There's 3 different sizes. There's an iPad so you…read morecan self order. Came on a Saturday noon and it was busy. It was about 10 mins wait. Love the matcha base and chia seed pudding. It's so refreshing on a warm day. The smoothies looked really good too but pricey $10+

I was excited to get a smoothie, and I immediately noticed that all the flavors are kind of weird…read more But I rolled with it and I got the mango something with ginger... it's disgusting. I got My son one too with no ginger because he doesn't like ginger and his is disgusting too. My other son got the acai flavor. They asked me if I would like peanut butter in it, and of course, I said.... nope. Well, it totally tastes like peanut butter. I'm sorry, I know the world is changing but who the hell drinks peanut butter? Anyway...all of these smoothies are way too slimy. It's obviously a stirred together concoction. Far from a blended smoothie. There is no ice flakes in them. I'll tell you that . Their cups are the cheapest cups too. I mean you sneeze, and your cup caves in. You can imagine how this went with my nine-year-old having one. Sticky gelatinous, slime all over my car. It's super sticky too. Here's another thing. I heard no blenders. I'm damn sure that these guys simply stir together a slime solution that's premixed. There is no freshness going on there. This is slime. It's really bad slime. These are not normal smoothies. They are not good smoothies. They've got a giant poster of some guy stoned out of his mind throwing a sideways peace sign as the poster child for this thing that they've created. It is a really gross place. You would need to be stoned out of your mind to enjoy one of these slime cups. Gross. I want my money back.
