Loved this place for a quick, healthy breakfast! The staff was so kind and friendly. Food was great, coffee was not. I also love their floor that's a nod to Brazilian tile! read more

Viva Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - London, XGL

I love Acai bowls and was so happy to see one tucked away in this cute square. It's a great addition to the British food scene - although I seemed to be one their only customers on this rainy day. Compared to other Acai bowls - my favorite being those I've had in Los Angeles, these tasted great but had some icy chunks in it. If you don't mind chunky bits like I didn't then the same great flavor is there. It's really expensive, probably the most I've ever payed for an Acai bowl anywhere but it was well worth it for me. read more

Viva Acai - Great Acai bowl! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - London, XGL

Wowwwwwwwwwwww. Honestly anything I write won't come close to how great the experience/acai bowls are here. I had a special bowl (£8) with strawberries, blueberries and PB. I had to wait a little because the lady was making a bunch of other slightly sweet bowls (you can choose between slightly sweet or unsweetened) but I didn't mind. The lady here is a gem, so personable and makes a real effort to get to know her customers. It made my experience much more likeable. The shop is quite small and I wish they had multiple around London but I'm lucky enough to have my gym close by. I will definitely be becoming a regular here! read more

Viva Acai - Special bowl with plain granola, strawberries, blueberries and peanut butter - soooooo goooooooood - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - London, XGL

Missing home in California I went to go to this little place right next to the tube. The lady who owns this place is one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met. When I walked in, she had three of her friends sitting at the table raving about her acai bowls and the superfood and discussing plans for next week. She returned their eagerness and kindness while simultaneously working on the acai bowls. She FRESHLY makes each bowl. Reviews that say she don't are misunderstanding it. Each bowl is recently made or made while in shop from the last 5 minutes or so. Because I waited an extra bit, she gave me an extra scoop of granola and a free topping!!! She is so passionate about her craft and really cares about her customers. The acai itself was delicious -- even comparable to that in California. Amazing bowls and amazing service! read more

Haven eaten countless Acai bowls in my life, this shop is in my Top 3. Acai base has two options: slightly sweetened or unsweetened, either of them tastes delicious. Toppings are very generous, the peanut butter is one of the must-haves! Staff is very friendly too, it adds to the enjoyable experience of getting their acai bowls. This is without a doubt the best acai shop in London! read more

Acai bowls are great but the lady working here is an absolute horror. She's extremely rude and barks at all of her customers. Then, just when the customer pays, she acts all sweet. She won't forget to scream at you reminding you it's cash only. The bowls are good but I'm honestly nervous to go in everytime because she's so rude. read more

Best acai bowl I've ever had! And the owner (I believe her name is Char) is so personable and kind! Such great customer service on top of the already amazing bowls. She has such an array of toppings to choose from as well. The bowls are blended from 100% acai and nothing else! One of the yummiest treats of my trip. read more

Viva Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - London, XGL

Had acai here on my trip to London this past month. The acai is good, nothing special. The store is really small, cramped, and has only about 6 stools. We came in and ordered the acai bowl with granola and bananas. The owner gave us a premade acai bowl she kept in the fridge (so idk why everyone is saying that it's fresh and she makes it in front of you). She kept repeating to us that she JUST made it and it'll be fine... okay..whatever, at that point she didn't give us a choice and we walked quite a bit to get an acai bowl. The acai was runny probably because she scooped it into the bowl who knows how long ago and it was really just nothing special. In all honesty, even with the melting acai, and shitty first impressions, the owner was the consistent problem. She kept boasting about her acai and how it's THE BEST. Saying people all over the world come and tell her her acai is the best they've ever had, people from LA, Hawaii, etc. I am from Los Angeles and even the mediocre acai places in LA definitely tastes similar if not better than this store. She also charged us an extra 1 pound for more granola which is fine (we had just a bit of acai left but we wanted granola til our last bite). But she went on and on about how we shouldn't need more because she was SO generous on the amount of granola she gave in the first place. In which we kept replying that we would just want more granola please. I found it ridiculous that I had to justify getting more granola when I'm paying for it already and be almost criticized for wanting more granola by the owner? It was as if she was getting defensive that we wanted more granola lol. I don't need any owner commenting unnecessarily on my choices. Ever. On top of that, she kicked us out of the shop while we were finishing our acai bowl because her son in elementary school had to go pee. Mind you we were only there for a total of 15 minutes. I dont think she was trying to be rude whatsoever, but she definitely comes off that way. Her overall demeanor is not pleasant and very uncomfortable. Enough so that I would not go back just to avoid talking to her. So, is this acai place worth it? Only if you are really craving it and you are in the area. If not, don't waste your time and money. read more

I had the chance to try the pitaya bowl and it did not disappoint! They only use pitaya (no liquid added) so the base of the bowl was extremely rich. The original is topped with granola (two kinds) and banana, and honey can be added but the pitaya was honestly plenty sweet. Sha was extremely friendly and passionate about the ingredients she offered at her shop. She cares a lot about perfecting her bowls and smoothies and it shows. Definitely stop by if you're in the mood for a more tropical breakfast or snack! read more

WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE! If you've had good acai before, you'll be disappointed. I'm guessing the positive reviews here are from people who don't have anything to compare it to. It's a tiny shop with one woman who is out of many of the ingredients so she makes it with what she has. If there's more than one customer, expect a wait. She's very friendly at first so you kinda let it slide. That's not my main concern though. I went here while visiting the city & didn't realize it was cash only so she said I could go to an ATM after. I thought that was very nice & went to three ATM's that were all out of order. When I went back to tell her, she wasn't there & there was a line out the door (which speaks to how small the place is, not the quality) so I figured even though I was leaving the city, I'd contact her through her site or yelp or call to make sure I paid her for the bowl. Her site was down, no response to my previous yelp comment & no answer on the phone. After trying several ways & not reaching her, she found my Instagram & started publicly shaming me. I messaged her right away & said I was glad to hear from her as I had been trying to get in touch but wished she would have sent me a direct message rather than commenting inappropriately. I get it, it's her business & livelihood but the way she lashed out & handled it was by no means professional. I'm still making sure she gets paid because that's the right thing to do, but all of this over 10 euros? She continued to harass me until I had to block her. Beware! read more

lovely acai but the staff/owner/person making it was so rude that i wanted to leave before i had even ordered!! Actually shocked!! She didn't even say hi or smile when i walked in. Just said "sit down there and wait ten minutes" and when i responded "okay no problem" and smiled, she told me to relax. I waited 30 minutes for my bowl, even though it was a sunday morning and only 3 other people were there. Not even exagerrating. I'm NEVER coming back again, unless i see a different person in the shop making the bowls. Even though the acai was the best i have ever had in my life. read more

Viva Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - London, XGL

Delicious breakfast! I had the special acai bowl with fresh strawberries, blueberries and homemade coconut granola. If you're looking for a break from the traditional English breakfast, come here. A sign just outside Gloucester Station leads the way to this small hidden gem. They serve acai bowls and fresh pressed juices. The acai was a refreshing and energizing way to start the day. Great food and great service! read more

I have had probably 50 different acai bowls, and this was by far my favorite. It tastes natural and fresh. A great place and reasonable prices! read more

Best açaí in London! My friend and I are here from LA and we live for açaí and smoothies there. The first thing we did was try to find a good place where we could go in London. When we found Viva Açaí we were thrilled! We both love healthy and organic food and this is the place to go. The owner is so kind and one of the most charismatic people you could ever meet. Not only are the açaí bowls beautiful, they are also incredibly good for you:) Make sure to make your way to the shop, it is definitely worth it! read more

Best acai bowl! If you need a pick-me-up and want to go healthy stop by this place. Delicious!

The lady who attended me was so sweet and the bowls are absolutely delicious!!! 10/10 recommend!

The customer service was appalling. If you are looking to get a decent açai bowl, then sure go here, but make sure you brace yourself for rude attitude and someone to rush you while you decide what to get. There is no inbetween with the pricing point, you either have a bowl with no toppings other than the set toppings of banana and granola for 5 pounds or you have a bowl with three toppings, for 8 pounds, when I asked if there was another option, the woman behind the counter raised her voice at me in a rude tone, it was as if I was wasting her time, however it didn't seem like she was getting many customers when I came in. I understand what it is like to work in customer service, and it sucks when someone comes into your establishment five minutes before closing, if that were the case for me I would understand the tone and the rush, however I came in two hours before closing time, which makes me wonder if she was like this for all her customers. It seems as though I will have to search for a new acai place which is a shame because the acai here is nice. read more
