    Açaí bowls - large size
    Kathi Y.

    This açaí shop is absolutely AWESOME!!! I found this shop three weeks ago and have been back two to three times a week, every week since!! They have a wide variety of açaí bases - my favorites are traditional açaí, mango and coconut - and they have lots of fresh fruit and offer unlimited toppings. I really like that you can see and sample the all the various options - even the bases. When you start your bowl you have the choice of ratio of açaí to toppings you want in your bowl. From there you can just start stacking it up with all the fresh, delicious goodies. My favorite bowl is half fill açaí, granola, all the fruits (except cranberries), a little honey, some condensed milk and toasted coconut. And don't sleep on their empanadas! They are really good too. Great variety with super flavors. Beef, chicken and vegan available. One of the SUPER PHENOMENAL things here is the people!! The shop is owned by a daughter / father dynamic duo!! The daughter is sweet and charming and makes the best bowls!! The dad has huge personality and will teach you all about açaí and have you trying new options. He's a real kick in a good way. I even met the mom working in the shop one day. She said she doesn't work there often but stepped in to help. She was very friendly also. They are a couple of others that work there that are also very nice, efficient and make great bowls. The shop is cute and clean. Everything is made right in front of you. (You can also order home delivery from Ubatuba.) The shop is freeway close and has a large, easy access parking lot. They do not have indoor dining, but do have a couple of outdoor tables.

    Came here for a nice cold treat after a long hot day. The store is pretty clean and tidy, and everything just smells fresh and healthy when you walk in. I ordered a large acai bowl and I like that they really let you customize it to the max, which is perfect for me because I literally want everything in my bowl lol. The fruits tasted fresh and ripe, so that's definitely a plus. My favorite part has to be the almond butter drizzle. It goes so well with the acai and granola and just brings everything together. Overall, a solid spot for a refreshing acai bowl with plenty of toppings and customization. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm craving acai!

    One of my all time favorite acai places! Easy free parking, with a spacious lot. There's no indoor dining inside the restaurant but there is some outdoor seating with an umbrella and a couple tables. I usually order the small, which is 12 fl oz for $12.50. The best thing about Ubatuba is that you can add unlimited toppings! They also have unique bases, such as the pitaya. You can also choose chia pudding as your base. Their chia pudding is tinted blue, which is super unique! Some of my favorite toppings are the goji berries (which become cold and super chewy), their bananas and strawberries (which they hand slice in front of you), and their mangos are super fresh too! They are super generous with the portions for toppings. Usually, the store is pretty busy, especially with all the online orders they deal with. However, their service is always fast and efficient. The workers are incredibly friendly and willing to give samples if you ask. Highly recommend.

    Outside seating only.

    I woke up craving an açai bowl and somehow that craving led me straight to Ubatuba, bless the universe!!!! I went big with a large bowl loaded with blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, and mango, and I swear I got actual goosebumps watching them slice the strawberries fresh. That's how you know it's about to be good!!!!! Then I went full topping gremlin: shredded coconut, chopped almonds, goji berries, both granolas (because choosing is for the weak), almond butter, honey, and pumpkin seeds. Absolute perfection!!! Every bite was a moment!!!! Shoutout to Daisy, who absolutely understood the assignment and made my bowl with love!! There's no indoor seating, but they've got a few cute little tables outside... perfect for sitting there in silence, deeply in love with your açai!!! Ubatuba is hands down one of my favorite açai spots in the SGV because you control the base-to-topping ratio (as it should be), and their honey?? So good!!! Super floral, slightly magical, and honestly unforgettable. I'm obsessed!!!!

    Tried Ubatuba Açaí in Pasadena and ordered two custom medium bowls. Let's just say... both disappeared quickly. The açaí base was smooth, thick, and actually flavorful (not icy or bland like some places). The toppings were fresh and generous every bite had a good balance of crunch, sweetness, and fruit. You could tell the ingredients weren't an afterthought. The shop was clean and welcoming, and the staff was friendly while we took our time building our bowls like it was a serious strategic decision.

    This is one of my favorite acai bowl spots! There is currently a Doordash promotion - BOGO Create Your Own Bowl - $17.50! There are 3 size options - small, medium (+$3.75) and large (+$8.75) There is the option to select ratio base toppings on cup - 1/2 or 3/4 base or just base with no toppings. Loved that there are so many base options - pitaya, chia pudding, mango, overnight oats, matcha, agave coconut, and acai! Really enjoyed the variety of toppings! The Acai and matcha base was very delicious and not too sweet. The fruits - strawberry, blueberry, banana, and mango were all very sweet and fresh. The portion for toppings are very generous even though I got a small! Really enjoyed the presentation and how beautiful the Acai bowl was! Overall, this was 9/10 Definitely would recommend and return!

    If you like more fruits than just bananas, strawberries, and blueberries then you'll like this place. If you prefer the bases to be actually good and are happy with just 3 fruits you'll like roots & rye a lot more. I unfortunately am the latter and the overnight oats, acai, and chai pudding all tasted odd here. I did like that they have dates, but even their dates were super chewy.

    Delicious, freshness and very appealing. Owners are very heart warming and participates in the Altadena and Pasadena community events.

    Ubatuba is my go to sweet treat place! You can get different sizes depending on how much you're craving. Kayla and the rest of the crew there are always so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely try out the Rose Bowl if you want a little tart treat.

    The most delicious, unlimited topping açaí bowl !!!!!!! Ok, so the great thing is you can make create your own bowl with unlimited toppings! It's delicious. Refreshing treat especially when it's hot. The best customer service with Dillon & Casie. The owner is also super friendly! I wish there was a place to sit. I'm always having to take it home. I don't like sitting outside because it's too loud BUT luckily the bowls travel well. They also have empanadas too and smoothies and other things BUT my fav is the bowls! Ps. They have other locations so check out their site.

    My friend recommended the açaí bowl here, so my husband and I decided to share a small one with a base of açaí and chia seed pudding. The açaí was a bit too frozen, more like an Icee texture, which wasn't my favorite. However, I did appreciate the option of peaches as a fruit topping, something I haven't seen offered at most other açaí spots. I always love adding peanut butter and almond butter, so those were a win, and the worker's suggestion to top it off with PB crumble was spot on, super tasty! Overall, it made for a refreshing and satisfying snack. They also have a designated parking lot in the back, just make sure to read the signs carefully.

    Rose C.

    I am a regular in this place. My fav açaí place in Pasadena. Lots of toppings as well as fruits choices. I love it here because fruits are always fresh cut. They also serve the best empanadas with different flavor. The place is clean and very friendly atmosphere. Shout out to Dylan and Alexis. They are the best! Parking is very accessible at the back of the building. Must visit and try their mouth watering Açaí.

I have not yet tried their açai bowl although what I have seen from others, it looks delicious and it has a vast range of toppings that are unlimited.

You can get a choice of bread which is very high-quality, and add either avocado spread or a nut butter spread. I went yesterday on a very hot day and the avocados were not ripe enough, so I chose a cashew butter toast. There are many toppings to choose from like granola's, nuts, seeds, chia pudding, fresh fruit, and even natural sweeteners. I got some berries, fresh and toasted coconut and date syrup drizzled on top. It is such a satisfying snack with a bit of protein and other healthy ingredients that I did not feel guilty about eating I don't know if it was the bread I chose, but the size was a little smaller than what I remember.

I chose green tea matcha and overnight oats for my base. Topped it with banana, strawberries, oats, almonds and almond butter. It was SO good! The matcha tastes just like frozen yogurt. I can't believe these babies are good for us. When I got home around dinner time, I was still full from my açaí bowl. I will be thinking about these bowls until the next time I get them again. Goodness with each bowl, heaven with each bite.
