I paid $20 for a smoothie bowl and what I received was laughably small. The bowl was barely half full . For that price, I expected a generous, satisfying portion -- not something that could fit in a kid's snack cup.

Vervacious Verve Bowl Good Morning Sunshine

I've been looking for a good açaí bowl place nearby and I'm so happy i found this place! My friends and I wanted to grab something light and healthy after a workout class. We got 3 different bowls to share and they were all frickin amazing! So delicious and filling. This place was super cute/aesthetuc, offered variety of bowls, and the staff was friendly and patient! I am definitely making this my new weekend routine

Free wifi, water, and washroom makes this establishment a good spot to bring your laptop and unwind. There's ample seating along the windows which gives a cozy vibe on rainy days. Some ambient background music would make this place a vibe. As far as the food goes, the strawberries were mushy and slightly spoiled. Also, the Acai was more runny than I would have liked, I usually go for a thicker mix.

Berry Yum  Deja Blue  Uncrustabowl

Never been here before so I asked the person at the register for their fav and they did not disappoint! Got the berry yum with honey and Nutella and I absolutely demolished it, was delicious. Really nice shop and very clean, it was super cold though.

Great taste and plenty of choices. My to-go smoothie place! you must tryyyy if you visited downtown seattle

Good Morning Sunshine
Taylor M.

Such a yummy smoothie bowl!! The consistency is perfectly frozen and smooth. The fresh fruit is perfectly ripe as well. I cannot stop eating it. The service was efficient, and the employees were very kind and accommodating. They use house-made almond milk in all of their bowls, and I think that's cool when any restaurant/cafe has house made recipes. Although, I have an almond allergy. Usually, it's an up charge for subbing the milk, but they made an exception because of my allergy, which I really appreciate. I got coconut milk instead. It was loud inside, but obviously that's common at smoothie places. The indoor seating had cushions on the seats, which I love, because I love to be comfortable. I ended up taking my smoothie bowl to go because it's a sunny day and it was so loud in there. Perfect midday snack!!

Im so sorry to post this but I'm doing it to remind myself to not come here again. I came here a few years ago and it was pretty good but the most recent time I came this year, omg this tasted so bland. I was trying to escape the heat that day so I came in here to get the good morning sunshine. The fruits were not sweet at all and didn't really taste that fresh either. The açaí itself was not good either. It just all tasted very icy and bland. I miss Hawaii and delicious açaí bowls :( the funny thing is I told my friend that I dropped by here to try the bowl and she said I should've told her earlier because she had it before and thought it was so bad.

My sister and I decided to give this place a try and was definitely not disappointed. After trying out their smoothie bowls, I can rightfully say that this place has my favourite açai and smoothie bowls. Verve bowls include a wide array of different flavours, topping combinations and smoothie bases on their menu. Each bowl can be customisable and come in an assortment of unique colours. From their menu, they use natural ingredients such as blue spirulina powder, red pitaya, and turmeric to create those BOWLD and vibrant colours. I would definitely recommend asking for honey and granola on your bowls as they provide additional sweetness and texture in every bite. The customer service is immaculate and the employees working there are incredibly kind. There is an option to order for pickup on their app, however I decided to order in store. It was relatively fast and you can see them preparing your order while you wait. There were several other orders ahead of mine since they offer Postmates, however I was able to receive mine with little waiting time. For smoothie bowls, the prices here range from $10+ which is pretty average. Order: Deja blue and Beast Mode was pretty nice however, I would opt out of the peanut butter for beast mode next time. The deja blue was tarte itself however the addition of granola was a nice added touch. You can customise your bowl to your liking, add more toppings, however I just stuck with regular provided toppings. They also have different sizes for your bowls: regular and large. Parking: Difficult to find since there is 2 hour MAX street parking.

Bee green smoothie
Emma N.

Ordered the "bee green" smoothie. Let's just say it tasted very... healthy. I actually didn't mind it, but my husband was not a fan. Lol. He asked "where's the mango & pineapple?!" It is a unique flavor, and if you like sweet smoothies, this may not be for you. But if it makes you feel healthier to drink something green, I didn't think it was that bad.

Got the Bee Green, which is spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, ginger, bee pollen, house made lemon juice, and water. It was the only green smoothie on the menu so I went with that one. I hate that I'm hating on a green smoothie because I've never had a bad one. this one is hands down the worst I've ever had. Has a weird taste to it and I can't figure out what it is. Not sure where or how things went wrong. All the ingredients should make for a great tasting green smoothie but my boyfriend and I were both immediately confused about what this taste was. There's both too much lemon juice and something else that I don't know how to describe. For a $10+ smoothie? Straight disappointed.

Uncrustabowl and iced matcha latte
Melissa B.

I love this spot! Best açaí bowls I've ever had. The uncrustabowl is my favorite- Peanut butter is so good in the bowls. Super friendly staff too and beautiful interior. 10/10 would recommend.

Verve Bowl with mango instead of strawberry (I also ate the banana before snapping a pic lol)

Girlies with dietary restrictions, RISE…read more This new spot is such a gem and Seattle is seriously sleeping on it. Everything here is plant-based and gluten-free, which is amazing if you're navigating dietary restrictions but still want something that tastes incredible. The smoothie bowls were SO fresh and flavorful, like I genuinely didn't want mine to end. The service also deserves a huge shout-out. The staff were some of the kindest I've experienced since moving to Seattle, and they even let us sample the bases before choosing. As a Libra, choosing was painful... which means the only logical solution is to go back and try them all (LOL) This is going to be such a move on hot summer days: refreshing, convenient, healthy (?) and seriously delicious.

I finished a yoga class at TruFusion and saw this smoothie place across the street. Found out they…read morejust opened! Definitely would come back and try their other options:) I ordered the Blue Bay Bowl in their smallest size (dinghy) and was overjoyed to see it overflowed with delicious toppings. It tasted just as good as it looked, especially if you're a fan of coconut! Small size comes out to almost $14, which I'd say is about the same price , maybe slightly in comparison to other smoothie/acai places. It definitely is pretty substantial though with the toppings, so at least you get lots of smoothie + toppings! Service was super friendly and welcoming. I should've asked their names, but next time I will cause both people working were very nice. One woman (maybe the franchise owner?) informed me that this is the first franchise opened in the PNW and that it was their grand opening today (5/10/25)! She was super sweet in offering me half off my bowl for their grand opening. The inside is minimal but very clean and open to be able to stay awhile and have your smoothie or bowl.

This is my favorite Acai place. Ever…read more The Acai is consistently delicious, perfect texture (sorbet-like), perfect consistency (frozen but easily scoopable with your spoon) and the fruit on top is always fresh. I've been to Acai places in LA, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, airports, other places and I can never find Acai as consistently good as this. Either the fruit is thawed frozen fruit, the Acai is soupy, or for some other reason, those other places just aren't as good. Beyond the Acai, I'm a big fan of the beef pockets, the ham and cheese pockets, the chicken cones, and the Nutella-filled cheese bread. A vegetarian colleague likes to come here for breakfast when he's in town for the egg, spinach, and cheese-filled cheese bread. If you're looking for a great Acai spot, I can't recommend Kitanda enough.

Aight tbh if you're looking for an authentic acai bowl... this acai base will prob be sweeter than…read moreyou're used to and/or wanting. BUT kitanda's bowls are simple, available at multiple locations, and most importantly, they're pretty gas. I typically get their energy blast bowl but went with the Lena today bc your boy is cutting. Trust me fam, don't look at the macro's if you're wanting a "healthy" meal or whatever bc these bad boys are loaded with calories (and not the good kinds hahahaha). You just gotta accept the cold hard truth, the majority of acai bowls aren't healthy, but we gotta keep telling ourselves they are bc they're so FN good lmaooo aight catch yall later
