Goodness gracious, this was the best acai bowl I've ever had. And that is saying a lot because I went through a 2.5-year acai hyperfixation period where I basically ate one every single day (crazy, I know). I've tried acai bowls from more places than I can count (in San Diego, LA, Hawai'i, Barcelona, Madrid, you name it) and this still tops.
I didn't have any expectations because my dad is the one who suggested we stop by on our trip in Huntington Beach. The storefront is really small too, but there is limited seating (and a bathroom!). The man who took our orders was super nice, and he explained how everything works; basically, you choose your bases (they scoop it for you) and then move to the unlimited(!!!) toppings bar (they also scoop it for you, but you can tell them to add more or less). He also cut the fruit fresh for us!
Usually, when I go to acai places, they either only have acai or acai and pitaya. Those are the most common, I'd say. But no, Amazonia Bowl had so many options! Trust me, I had a hard time deciding. I ended up getting a large size so that I could try more flavors. Oh, and they also give you samples of the bases before you choose! I can't remember all of the names, but I got the bright blue flavor, ube, coconut, and acai. Ube was my favorite! So unique, too. For the toppings, I got the blue chia seed pudding, the flavored granola, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, mango, coconut flakes, and cacao nibs.
THIS WAS AMAZING! A flavor bomb. My cousins also got a bowl, but they had a different flavor combination. Be wise in your base and toppings choices!! It will make or break your bowl!!! The granola on the bottom and top made sure there was a crunch in every bite, the fruits were among the freshest I've had, and the crazy amount of different flavors made sure i was never "sick" of anything.
Sorry, I know I went off on a tangent here, but it's because it really was so good. I'm sad I can't have one right now. If I go back to Huntington Beach, this will definitely be stop...no compromising!!
