I ordered a bowl with a berry base with blue spirulina as the base! I forget the exact name but I chose to add blueberries, granola, and honey on top! The bowl was delicious and refreshing! Vitality Bowls is always a great healthy treat! I had questions and the person working in the front of the store was more than happy to help answer our questions! The store is a unique little place with a few tables and chairs inside and alot more seating outside! They have bowls with an açai base as well! If you're not looking for a smoothie or a bowl, they also have healthy lunch options that are more meat and veggies. read more

I haven't had Vitality Bowls about 3 years. I was lucky to find one close by my work. I missed it so much, the servings, the taste, and the freshness, very delicious. The customer service was great too. Now I know where to get açai bowl when I crave it again. read more

Vitality Bowls - I haven't been here in a while... - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Worst experience of any vitality bowl location. I Have ordered a super green goddess salad twice this week and each time I was given a grain bowl instead. The second time it happened i was already home and had to drive back to the store. I told them they had given me a grain bowl but she told me I ordered a grain bowl "see there's the rice" but I kept my receipt and showed them that I ordered a salad. Not a grain bowl. She said she would remake it but felt like I had to prove to her they made my dish wrong. Like I ordered the wrong thing? Thank god I didn't throw the receipt. I think it's funny there's a sign that says they care about allergens when they gave me the wrong bowl twice. Just does not seem to be any diligence. Almost like they saw green goddess on the ticket and made whatever they wanted. I would not recommend - overpriced food for terrible service, no thanks. read more

This place is very hit or miss. The quality of the items are great and it's the only place like it in the area. Problem is, this business is ran like it knows it. I've had several complaints about things being in my bowl and dishes that were not ordered (and some I had no idea what it was) and every time I speak to a manager/employee about it it's just a roundabout "there's no way we do that so I don't know how it happened." The employees are obviously not held to a standard at all if that's how the manager approaches complaints. The employees are in the back 99.9% of the time which means they're more than likely back there living it up. Which wouldn't be an issue if there obviously wasn't signs of distraction, lack of simple detail, and a lack of caring, not just according to me, but according to a lot of people. And there's no view of people preparing your food as well which for some can be worrisome. Anytime quality of service and food is up and down as such, it's a sign of bad training and accountability. I've worked in food for 13 years so I'm just speaking from a standard I know what it should be, especially when people are spending their money to trust you with their food, health and nutrition. I've given this places several chances cause when it's done right, it is amazing. This place has a lot of great potential but needs new form of management whether that be a change of attitude or new management in general, quick. Because as a soon as a new spot opens around with better and more consistent service, it'll be playing keep up. read more

Came here yesterday for lunch, party of 2, got the sunshine bowl (the one that has mint in the base). Bowls are about $13-16 each. Pros: - I guess 1 pro is that it's an acai place and there's not that many of these around the area to compare it to. - Very easy to order - you can just use the kiosk to order and it comes out in like 5 mins. - some indoor and outdoor seating, good for parties of 2-3. - the mulberries that were toppings were actually really delicious. - Decent portions - it can really just be more of a meal than a snack if you get a large. - Decent number of options for parking since it's in the village - Overall staff was friendly and the place was clean, spoons available next to the window so you can help yourself. - Modifiable bowls and you can add toppings for extra cost Cons: - I wasn't a huge fan of the mint flavor in the sunshine bowl - so unless you love the taste of mint I wouldn't recommend it. - Some of the fruit felt like it was still icy or frozen. - A little overpriced, I know inflation etc. but I kind of wish the prices were $12-13 instead. I'm open though, to trying again and ordering a different bowl! read more

We finally got a chance to check out Vitality Bowls and have enjoyed the items we have tried so far. The smoothies are good and come in a range of flavors and calorie counts. You can splurge for an extra buck and get an edible straw (mixed reviews on the ROI in our house). They have both hot and cold items and I love that when i come to pick up my order they have each item stored in the right temperature so that they are the correct temp heading home. The seating is limited but they do have indoor and outdoor tables. I prefer to order through the app and pick up for home enjoyment. The bowls are delicious as well as the wraps. I enjoy being able to get fresh veggies and fruits in a serving rather than having to buy all the ingredients to make on my own at home. This place has some great healthy options and they have good hours. Stop by and try for yourself today. read more

Loved vitality bowl!! This is the original location that made me fall in love with them and I used to order weekly. I ordered the large nutty bowl not full at all and all my coworkers ordered the medium which were all filled to the top. My recommendation is only order the medium not worth paying the extra. Hopefully this is fluke but never again. read more

Vitality Bowl is a convenient place to grab a smoothie if you're in downtown Castro Valley. It has a fairly big menu with plenty of options from smoothies, bowls, and other food. The store is rather small and has some seats inside among with a couple outside as well. The service can be slow at times, so make sure to order ahead if you can. Other than that I'd recommend if you're looking for a quick snack or smoothie. read more

The service has really improved. Faster and friendly service. Bowls and sandwiches are fresh and delicious.

The vitality bowl was just ok, nothing special, typical castro valley status quo... I'm giving this place one star because the experience of ordering and sitting in was terrible. Orders are placed via self order screen, not bad in itself, but the cashiers hide behind the kitchen door and avoid eye contact to dodge helping customers. If you can get their attention they seem to be bothered by your presence. I missed my chance to ask for a cup of water when my order came out, couldn't get anyone's attention for a long while. I waited and watched other customers go through the same thing. read more

I was disappointed with my Green Glow at this particular Vitality Bowl. I was expecting what I got from the Fremont Vitality Bowl. This bowl was smaller (same price), less chicken, less cucumber, radishes, and it was not organized in the bowl. It looked like a mess. And there were wilted pieces of lettuce that were gross. The Green Glow in Fremont was such perfection. The Green Glow in Castro Valley was a huge flop. Plus it took awhile to get it .. about 30 minutes. I expected the Fremont vitality bowl perfection. The employee was nice. He directed me to the app to get a discount. He said I would get it once I registered for the app and scanned my receipt. But it didn't happen exactly that way. I won't get the discount til my next purchase, which I plan making at the Vitality Bowl FREMONT read more

The paninis here are really solid--crispy on the outside with perfectly melted cheese and flavorful fillings on the inside. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, and the bread has that perfect golden crunch. Great for a quick bite that still feels satisfying. I've tried a couple different ones and haven't been disappointed. Definitely a go-to spot if you're in the mood for a good panini. read more

I love this place it's just pricey with not the best quality items in my opinion. I had a small portioned panini and I wasn't a huge fan. The tropical paradise smoothie had an overbearing taste of açaí, I wish there was more from it. The workers were nice and there's a bell to ring for service. Other than that, I'd like to give them another chance one day. Any suggestions on what I should order? I was torn between a wrap or a salad but I didn't wanna be disappointed because of the price. read more

It was 3 pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Missed lunch and needed sustenance. No one was there ... not even the worker. I had to ring a bell for service. I ordered the standard vitality bowl with traditional açaí blend and waited about 10 minutes outside at one of the outdoor tables. Right on time, she brought my order out to me which was very nice. It was made exactly to spec however it could have used a little more granola. Refueled and ready to go ... read more

The bowls here are wonderful. They are a chain, and we've had their acai bowls elsewhere, but the ingredients are top-notch. The granola is super crispy, acai is not too sweet, and the fruit is fresh and ripe. All pretty amazing. We ordered a large tropical bowl and it came out to almost $14 so it's not cheap, but the portions are big and perfect for two people. It also took a while for us to get our acai bowl - probably about 10 minutes. The only logistical problem is I saw that the cashier was super busy and so even when there were 3 people waiting inside, she didn't ask them their order name or number - they had to wait a few minutes and ask her even though she was not doing anything at that point. I would hope they improve their system for orders and also hire more folks in the back so it's not as overwhelming for them as it seemed with way too many orders to make and too few people to make them. read more

When I arrived to this location I was excited to try it. It took about 5 minutes before someone took my order. I was the only person in line. I'm assuming maybe they get a lot of take out orders and need more help for dine in. I ordered the nutty bowl, tropical smoothie, and the peanut butter sandwich for almost $32. I feel their prices are higher compared to other places like this. The location is in a busy shopping center, and parking was hard to find. The inside was very clean! The customer service is lacking big time. Common courtesy is to at least greet your customers when they come in. They missed an item I ordered. If I didn't check my bag before leaving I wouldn't have known. The smoothie I ordered didn't have much of a taste to it. The flavor was bland and not as fresh as I expected. The bowl did not have a lot in it. I felt kind of cheated- If your charging high prices, make sure the portion size match it. Overall I will not come here again. I'll just stick to Jamba Juice. read more

Today, Monday he 14th, 6:58 pm! I ordered 1 Go Green smoothie! I have no idea if everything was in my drink, flavors mixed up! So don't know!!! Now, I also ordered my favorite Supergreen Goddess Salad, have ordered before, and others! Always got exactly what I ordered!now today, I called because many items missing! Waitress claimed she has worked there for 4 years, and everything was there ! I am an honest disabled senior citizen! AND I WAS SO HUNGRY,!!! Items missing in my salad Avocado add on Feta add on Grains Blend add on Pépites add on Pickled onion add on Sunflower seeds add on Super seed crunch add on Very upsetting being told by this lady all was there, that is calling me a liar!!! I didn't realize my order was placed via GRUB UP, it doesn't show that anywhere, so I was confused when the manager returned my call! She was going to have us do the return and money back via GRUB UP, , why would I want to go to the trouble of having to do that???? I found them via YELP, and I now understand from what I read, Yelp should have given me a nice coupon off as well!! Anyhow at the end, the manager finally handled it herself! I should not have had to go thru all this to get paid back! She wanted to discount me the individual items missing!!! WHAT.?? I just wanted another salad, she could not do because ordered via Grubb up! So, how did she finally take care of it at the end! Spent an hour on the phone between my first call to Vitality Bowl waitress, having to wait for manager to call back! Now, I did not have any dinner, it was late, I am disgusted and will not order again, way too expensive anyway!today July 15 th, manager called back! INSTEAD OF RE FUNDING US $47, GRUB HUB CHARGED US $107 , this is appalling, I cant believe I have to go thru all this crap to get refunded!!!!! Unbelievable! read more

I would not recommend a steak and potato bowl, not because it wasn't good, but because of the amount of meat you get. It was good and the flavor was decent, but you get very thin slices of steak which accounts for barely any protein in the bowl compared to everything else you get. I would definitely recommend the veggie and hummus wrap! The lemony vinaigrette and flavors made this wrap really filling and a lot more flavorful than the bowl. The breakfast açai bowl is a pretty decent size for one person if they want to eat that as a meal. It's a healthier option than one with chocolates, but still has a sweetness and a crunch. read more

Vitality Bowls - Vitality Bowl (medium) and Warrior Bowl (large) - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Vitality Bowls is delicious. Located in a small plaza in Castro Valley. I am used to the vitality bowls from Pressed but Vitality Bowls is pretty good as well . The location is very small and a bit uncomfortable. 4 stars because they have waaaaay too many options to choose from. A good thing for some, but not for me. I ordered the BLUE BLISS BOWL. Pineapple Coconut flavored with granola, banana, blueberries and coconut chips on top. Although it was good, you can definitely make the same thing as long as u have a nutri-bullet. It was still tasty though. Keep in mind you will be paying around $14-$16 dollars too. read more

When I lived in town, I used to eat lunch here at least once a month-but I haven't come by in quite a while. I stopped in today & ordered and it was NOT a pleasant experience. Firstly, they no longer have a cashier. You have to order on a computer POS (point of sale) thing yourself. All 4 young adult/teenage employees are standing behind a door in kitchen talking away. Eventually, a young lady wandered out and I asked her if I could just order with her, explaining that I wanted some changes to the regular Vitality bowl (add spinach, etc) but she said I could do that on the console and also I couldn't pay with cash (which I never carry anyways, so ok...fine). I chose to DINE-IN, and PRINT my receipt, and it did print out-but a guy swiftly emerged from the kitchen as soon as it printed and took it away. The console asked me for a tip, but since I'd received no service from anyone, I did not leave one. When you used to order a bowl for dine in, they used to give them to you in a chilled bowl, with fruit arranged really beautifully on top but this came out in a cardboard to-go container with a lid on it and everything inside all smooshed & gross. I was already seated at one of the tables in their small dining room, but when the kid brought it out from the kitchen, he did not bring it to me, rather he stood there and said, "do you want a bag?" I mentioned that I wanted to eat it there, and he said OK and left it on the counter while he turned and walked back into the kitchen. There's a tip jar on counter, if the worker would've brought the bowl to my table, I would've left him one. Alas, not to be. I opened my to-go container, noticed it was all smashed, took a couple bites, tossed it in garbage & left. The first young lady I interacted with walked back out before I left, and I asked her if they no longer serve the dine in customers in an actual bowl & she said not anymore. Waste of $13.50. I will NEVER come back. read more

The Castro Valley location however has a tendency to carelessly mess up my very simple order or give me something completely different than what I ordered.

Vitality Bowls - Takes about ten to 15 min - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I've always wanted to stop by here and grab a bowl, but after seeing the price, I hesitated and never went. Hubby and I decided to actually try it out one day, forgetting about the price and wanting to enjoy a nice açaí bowl! It's one of my favorites and I love how they have different varieties to it! Hubby ordered the Tropical Bowl, while I ordered the superfood bowl. Seating is very limited inside, but there are some outside for you to sit. We got it for here and it comes out in a metal bowl. I love how it looks and honestly the half portion was more than enough. I may just have to get the full portion next time, since I rarely get açaí bowls anymore. It was super flavorful and delicious! I can't wait to go back and try their other bowls that they have! Everything was just perfect! read more

I had it in my mind that this was my last visit to this location, but the owner called me and apologized on behalf of their employees.
