Bungalow Bowls

this was my first time at the bungalow bowl as well as getting an açai bowl, it was phenomenal. i ordered the santeria bowl was so delicious and my friend got the original which was just as good. the fruit was so fresh, the granola was deliciously yummy, and the açaí blend was refreshing satisfying and so delicious. definitely hit the spot and will go again next time we’re at the shore house in ocnj xo thank you bungalow bowl

The staff were very friendly. Acai bowls are delicious. Love going here! Plus, it's less busy than their other location on the boardwalk, and more convenient to park.

Blue Majik bowl was colorful, sweet, and had fresh and ripe fruit on top. Employees were a little slow and inefficient. Definitely one of the best fruit bowls in ocean city!

Needed a quick bite for breakfast and decided to go to Bungalow Bowls in OCNJ. A corner location, you can't "eat in" but you can sit outside on benches if you'd like. (Don't be surprised if you see the store "front" and think it looks to be closed-it's NOT! Go around to the side window & you'll be able to place your order!) I am allergic to diary, and I made that known, so I was trying to choose something that was right for me. The staff was kind, patient, and answered all of my questions. I have had their bowls before and was very happy. This time, I went with a smoothie & added peanut butter...which I think made it too thick. Beyond being thick, it was very gummy, which I think was more than just the addition of the peanut butter. I really think it was the protein powder. I'm not a fan. I also tried one of their toasts. Wow! Now this? Very good. The bread was something far better than your average, store-bought product. They said it's homemade & that they get it in daily. You can tell! The almond butter was okay, and it was topped with blueberries & banana slices, which were fresh. Overall if you are looking for a great smoothie or bowl, I highly recommend Bungalow Bowls!

We’ve been loyal Bungalow Bowls customers for years and used to look forward to our weekly visits—it was a go-to spot for us. But lately, the quality has really gone downhill. The mini bowl size has been cut nearly in half, which feels like we’re paying the same for way less. Worse than that, they’ve started piling on an excessive, almost sickening amount of peanut butter and Nutella. It completely overpowers the bowl and ruins the flavor. We’ve actually had to scoop off the thick layer and toss it straight into the trash just to make it edible. That’s not something we should have to do. Even the Outta Control bowl, which used to be a favorite, has been off—the ratio of strawberries to bananas is all over the place. It’s frustrating when a place you loved starts cutting corners. Bungalow really needs to step it up and bring back the quality that made them great in the first place.

My family really enjoys this place. The mini size bowls are a perfect size. Would highly recommend this place

Delicious bowls with accommodating staff. They have several bases to choose from, with a wide variety of toppings. While a staff member did make a mistake on our order, she apologized and offered to fix it, and it wasn’t even a big deal. It can have a bit of a wait sometimes, so come early. A refreshing, delightful treat.

We’ve tried many of the bowls here and all were delicious , however, the quantity of the mini bowls has been downsized considerably !! Still paying the same price but getting so much less. I hope they take note of this and rectify it. I hate to see them lose business because of skimping! This is the reason for the 3 stars, otherwise I would have given a 5.

Looking for a refreshing lunch when heading to the beach? Don't look any further. Bungalow Bowls has been my families go to spot when we get to the shore and are always looking forward to the delicious bowls! Personally, I prefer anything that is topped with Nutella but you cant go wrong with one of their other options. The service is always top notch and its location on Asbury drive gives you countless things to do if you're looking to be away from the hustle of the beach for a few. All in all.. go to bungalow bowls

What kind of sick joke is it to send someone on their way with condensating smoothies and bowls on a hot summer day in a thin paper bag that it rips right through before I can get home? Just say you don't have bags!

Best of the best-- especially after a day out in the sun! Been coming here for years and strongly recommend their smoothie bowls. You can really taste the difference in the freshness of their fruit and açaí base. I STRONGLY recommend ordering online to skip standing around and waiting, because they are frequently busy. Service is friendly, especially for how busy they are! There's no indoor seating, but there are big benches wrapping around the corner for outdoor seating (only one section receives any shade though). On weekends and summer mornings, I'd be prepared to take your order to go because the atmosphere of the outdoor seating isn't conducive for hanging around for great lengths of time. Pictured: Good Vibrations mini bowl (one of the most popular orders since it has Nutella on it) Santeria mini bowl (subbed banana for kiwi)

Food was good but they don't take card so that was lowk annoying, since it said it took card when I looked, but other than that it's fine.

My family and I are always sure to go here at least once during our summers at the shore I always get Vibes Alive!

Such yummy options!! We got bowls and a smoothie and loved how pretty and tasty they were! There was a bit of a line walking up in the morning (around 11ish), but they took orders and got everything out pretty quickly. The toppings all looked and tasted fresh, and we enjoyed sitting on some of the benches right outside. Super cute spot, we'll definitely hit it again before heading out of town!

Good food, fresh fruit, happy people and a great atmosphere. We love coming here. Kids love the taste of everything.

The best beach meal! The workers are always so nice and patient with their busy business! The only açaí bowl place I've been able to get ocean bowls so definitely give them a try!

Love this place. Always fresh, tasty and cold. A great treat with less sugar then an ice cream cone. My favorite place.

Wow. I can't express how good the sourdough avocado toast was. I would eat it 24/7. Nice people. Nice vibe.

The California vibes Bungalow Bowls gave me as we drove by persuaded me to stop and see what it was all about. I loved the colorful menus, seating and overall aesthetic of the bowls themselves. I'm new to the açaí bowl scene, so I tried a pitaya bowl on this visit. I ordered the Wildflowers bowl which included granola, kiwi, mango, blackberries and honey drizzle on top of a blended dragonfruit base. It was supposed to include an edible flower, however, mine did not have a flower. It was very delicious, fresh and filling, though! The prices were reasonable for the size of the bowls -- as a matter of fact, you could probably share one bowl between two people. The ordering process was pretty standard. They call your name when your order is ready and you pick it up at the pick-up window. There were napkins and spoons at the counter for easy self-service. The line was a little disorganized and a several customers were waiting around, but everything moved pretty quickly and seamlessly. The employees looked like they were all wearing masks inside. Definitely a great first experience for me. I recommend Bungalow Bowls to anyone looking for a refreshing way to start their day.

I have been coming here for three years and the food has been consistently good. I look forward to coming back again next summer

Bowl tasted fine, service was less than average. I came with my aunt to order a few açaí bowls for the family. I stated that I wanted a Come original bowl and a Good Vibrations bowl. My cousin, who had been stressed out studying all week, requested my aunt get her a coconut bowl with a few fruits. My aunt asked the lady at the counter for a coconut bowl to which she responded we needed to go to Playa Bowls for it (it was not open on this day). We asked for alternatives but this lady was quite rude and just continued to tell us to go to Playa Bowls. We ended up getting coconut flakes on an açaí bowl with some fruit instead. This employee did not help at all. This entire ordeal took about 8 minutes of solid back and forth too, which was a bit frustrating. My aunt asked several times how long the order would take, but the employee outright ignored her. Unsure if she was being rude or just genuinely didn't care enough to pay attention. She rung us up only to completely exclude everything but the original. Even after the 8 minute ordeal, it seemed she had registered nothing. Her attitude toward us really made the experience quite unpleasant. I will say that the bowls here are a bit smaller than at Playa Bowls, but you get what you pay for and they taste exactly as you'd expect. I enjoyed my Come Original bowl, although the blueberries were REALLLY sour, but it was a solid bowl! Nothing negative to say about the food, just the service. Hope this was a one-off situation and no one else has to experience this rudeness!

Giant bowls of deliciousness. I love açaí bowls and this place doesn't disappoint. The portions are generous and yummy. A nice alternative to all the less healthy options at the shore!

Expensive but tasty açaí and pitaya bowls! ($10ish) I love this place because they are willing to substitute if you don't love a specific menu item. The staff is always friendly and helpful! I don't have any specific allergy needs but i feel like this place would accommodate. My fav: one love and wildflower

the smoothies, bowls and avocado toast are delicious! staff friendly. no indoor seating which is not an issue, grab a smoothie and take a walk! highly recommend

Great quality açaí bowl for the area and not too expensive! It's only $9 for a HUGE açaí bowl and the extra toppings are only 50 cents! Service here was quick and the employees were very helpful. I ordered a 'come original' bowl and it was loaded with blueberries, banana and granola! Portion size was nice and big, although I wish there was a little more granola. I also got peanut butter in my bowl which was a great addition for only 50 cents. The açaí smoothie part of the bowl was a bit frozen when I got it but after waiting about 5 minutes to eat, it all mixed together perfectly! Bungalow bowls doesn't have much space inside so I imagine it gets crowded quickly, especially in the summer.

Good food, poor customer service I live about an hour and a half away from the shore, and I took my family to the boardwalk last night for some end-of-summer treats. After getting the kids whatever they wanted on the boardwalk, I was really looking forward to a Bungalow Bowl. Once I realized their boardwalk location was closed permanently, I drove down to the store on Asbury. The door was wide open and there were quite a few employees inside. There was a woman who had just ordered standing at the window talking to the girl at the register. I waited a minute or two and the cashier acknowledged me and said "Are you wanting to place a new order?" I told her yes, and she informed me that it was 8:03 and they close at 8. They refused to serve me. I stood there, shocked. I asked if the register was already closed, and she said yes. The lady who had just ordered was a local and took pity on my disappointment and told me I could have hers since she lives closeby. As she started to walk away, the employees all stood there, mouths agape, as their valued local customer walked away, having given a stranger the bowl she paid for. They began to clamor inside of the shop since they had disappointed their valued local, and a young man poked his head out and said he would serve me Açaí if I wanted, and they called the local lady back to get her bowl. By some sort of magic or perhaps an act of God, the register was functional again and they were able to take my money and serve me the bowl I had been so looking forward to. As there was no line behind me and literally nobody else in sight, I highly doubt the owner of this store would want these young children to turn a paying customer away 3 minutes after closing, while there was food left with the register still open. I will go to Playa Bowls in the Promenade from now on.

2nd bungalow bowl and it wasnt as good as the first. my mango tasted super fishy and i ended up throwing half my bowl out but i loved the banana, blue majik and granola!

Visited Bungalow Bowls today and although the fruit on top was good, I was very disappointed to see blue food coloring in my bowl. On the menu this is called "Blue Majik"

SO GOOD! Everything is super refreshing and great for breakfast before a hot day at the beach. The girls were super friendly and helpful! We went this morning and are going back tomorrow :)

Bungalow bowls is one of the spots I look forward to visiting when in OCNJ. This is a perfect little shop to have at the beach with açaí bowls, smoothies and various toasts (like avocado toasts!). Bungalow bowls have so many options and combinations as well as ad ons for their smoothie bowls that it makes it hard to decide what I want but every single time they're delicious! I will say that you do need to eat your bowl right away esp when it's hot out because they do not hold up - I'm not sure if there is a solution to this but there have been times when my bowl is completely melted by the time I'm back to my place. I love their avocado toast as well and their smoothies are always a good option too!

Great bowls and ordering online helped us skip the line! You can even customize your bowl.

I was surprised by Bungalow Bowls. In my experience with Açai bowls I always end up having to space out my scoops so I still have the right amount of substance. The ratio of fruit to granola to açaí was beautiful and every bite was filled with flavor. The fruit was very fresh as well. A wonderful experience. The only downside was that the avocado toast I got was very salty. It was really good it was just very salt heavy.

Its a shame because their bowls are great- but the service and how they treat their customers make me only go here once a year instead of once a week. They are so inconsiderate of everyone and every time I order they always mess up someone's order and leave them leaving empty handed after probably 40 + minutes of waiting beyond their original time. If they change up their service and how they treat people this may be my last time coming here. As well as my friends who I tell never to come here anymore.

This is the newest acai bowl stop in Ocean city and it is so cute! It was crowded inside but being so new everyone was there to get a bowl or smoothie! The decor is so cute. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the location indoor and outdoor. I am excited to support this local company and with the number of bowls they offer I'll always have something new to try. Love local finds- stop in on your next trip to Oc!

I can assure you I did in fact see the entirety of the event transpire. An employee left with gloves on, did many things with the same pair of gloves, walked back into the business with the same gloves and touched some bananas by the window within seconds of reentering the building. Your employees may have been taught how to correctly use gloves, but there seems to be no oversight in ensuring that they are following the guidelines you outlined. This should have been an opportunity to take accountability, rather than try and make it seem as if I was inaccurate in describing what I witnessed firsthand.

Best smoothie bowls I've ever had! We stop here every time we're in OCNJ and it's 100% worth the wait. Highly recommend ordering online / ahead so you can avoid the line, but goes pretty fast either way.

I am not someone to write a negative review & have been a loyal customer since the Asbury location opened years ago. However, this summer the past 3 times I went was HORRIBLE customer service. I ordered online 2 of the times and waited over 20 minutes from the scheduled pickup time. People in line that ordered technically 40 minutes after me were getting their orders before me. Today, I asked the staff 3 times for updates, until they finally gave me the order & gave me the WRONG order. 2 weeks ago, I ordered a smoothie from the line. Kept waiting for 30 minutes. They never called my name. I went and asked the register twice. They said it was still in the making. Eventually I got a WARM smoothie... I am extremely disappointed with Bungalow Bowls this summer. I wouldn't recommend going to the Asbury location!

We've been visiting Bungalow Bowls for the last few years whenever we are at the shore. Whether we ordered inside their shop (pre-COVID) or online (this year), every order is made exactly as we want with the freshest fruit and other ingredients. The online ordering is easy and efficient-you can see exactly what ingredients go into your bowl and substitute if needed (allergies, anyone!?) We love that you can pick from their menu of delicious bowls OR create your own. We also like that they recently introduced a smaller size bowl, as we have kids that wouldn't eat a whole regular size which is helpful financially ($6!!!!) and to avoid waste. We love Bungalow Bowls and will certainly return with each visit to the shore!

Soo, I mad a joke about this place as I drove by because its right by our annual rental and I like making fun of hippies BUT I TAKE IT BACK! There is a walk up window or you can go inside ( cool artwork btw) I dont know what everything is but they have expirations on the wall for dummies like me. My brother went 3 times I went twice in a week! Super fresh, super good. Just go!

Very fresh stuff. I love comin' here after a good kannish and warm glass of milk. The bowls look small but damn they will fill yous up. Tooks me about 30 minutes to take this bad boy down. After yous all done, worsh it down with a good 2013 cannonau Di sardegna. Got pretty lit but hopefully I don't get the bungalow bowels afterwards.

Good smoothies and service. Prices are a bit high. Online ordering is very welcomed!

The Purple Haze with added coconut flakes was delicious! The shop was so clean and the decor was super fun! The menu was unique, and if you wanted a different variation than what was listed, they hooked you up!

Let's face it, this is the year of the smoothie bowl. After frequenting a chain close to home, and having tried the boardwalk offering of my açaí favorite I was ready to broaden my horizons. Post 6mile bridge run through OCNJ and seeing the 20 person deep line outside, I knew bungalow bowls would be the perfect post workout fuel. Surprisingly, I only waited 15 minutes from the time I got in line until the bowl was placed into my hands. So many options! They even had. Blue smoothie base ive never seen before. I opted for a green base with tropical fruit toppings and added new pollen because, why not! Large portion smoothie piled high with fresh ripe mango, kiwi, pineapple, banana and granola, sprinkled with little yellow bits of immune boosting pollen. Everyone was instagramming pics of their eye catching bowls before surprisingly scraping the bowl in awe they finished what seemed like a 2 person portion of ones weekly recommended fruit intake. Artfully, insta-worthy and most importantly deliciously refreshing smoothie bowls.

Absolutely fabulous! The decor, the colors, the vibe made me feel like I was in the tropics! The bowls are colorful and so creative! Ton of ingredients and superfoods to choose from. Staff were accommodating and told us we had the option to switch out any ingredients based on our preference to make one amazing bowl! Lots of healthy stuff going on in one powerful bowl! One bowl will leaving you filling full and satisfied!

Love Bungalow Bowls! My pitaya bowl was amazing! I love the atmosphere in the restaurant as well. Very fresh fruit too! I will definitely be coming back to try something else. The vibe of Bungalow Bowls is amazing, makes you feel like you're in california! It's perfect after a long day at the beach. Thank you!

Bungalow bowls is the best. Some of the closest açaí I've found comparable to the west coast. I would recommend

got an asbury ave smoothie and it was pretty mediocre for the price... the flavor was okay but it was very thin as far as smoothies go.

Favorite smoothies and bowls place on the island. Always fresh and tastes amazing. And they are substituting fruits for free if you have an allergy. Every day is good when it starts with Bungalow Bowls' smoothie :)

This place is incredible point blank period. The menu has so much variety and the quality of the bowls and the ambiance of the atmosphere is spot on. Fits the beachy vibe of the town and the workers are very nice and helpful. We have been back two times and we've been in OC for only 3! Here comes the sun, Sweet Honey, and Summer Nights are by far the best bowls! Perfect place to go if your looking for a healthy snack or a light breakfast/lunch. I've been coming to Ocean City for 16 years and this is by far the best addition yet! 10/10!!!!

I moved to California from New Jersey three years ago and have consumed many bowls in my lifetime. However, this place has remained my favorite bowl place by far! Whenever I come back to Jersey I make it my priority to stop here, even in the winter. My go to is the Deep Water bowl with half pitaya and peanut butter on top! They are very lenient with modifications to the bowl. Even with a line out the door, they always get you your bowl or smoothie within 5-10 minutes. I recommend going in the morning after a workout or on an empty stomach because the bowls are huge and it's impossible not to want to finish it. The only critiques I have for this place is that I wish they had a smaller size option for when you just want a little treat and the prices are a little high compared to surrounding competition.

Our family vacation in OCNJ isn't complete until we have a few of these delicious bowls! Our grandchildren love them and look forward to the day(s) we get them. They even have a "mini" size that is perfect for young children and old ladies :) They only use the freshest fruits and granola, unlike other places where we have gotten acai bowls. We even stopped and got one on our way out of town when vacation was over! If you haven't stopped in and sampled their fresh bowls, treat yourself to one while visiting OCNJ...you won't be disappointed!

I got the deep water bowl and by the time it was ready, it was melted. The ocean base had too much banana. My dad got the Santeria bowl, and although it was sweet, it was the perfect frozen consistency. The people there were in no rush whatsoever. It took about 20 mins to get the bowl. Overall rating- 6/10

Service is extremely slow. It's crazy seeing employees just standing around not working when there's a decent line. Honestly debated if I should give them a 2 star review. I decided against because of the pandemic, at least they're still operating.

Well this place is very nice and usually pretty busy. I decided to get a smoothie and it was fanatic, very fresh as well. I forgot what it was called but it had strawberries, mango, banana, and almond milk. I am interested to see how the bowls are .

So excited about this place! We got a smoothie and an açaí bowl. They were sooo good! The staff was very friendly! Will definitely be back for more!

Yummmmm! Fresh and delicious. Great having a healthy choice. We got acai bowls and smoothies and all were fantastic. Great happy vibe there too.

Omg I could eat a smoothie bowl everyday, they were so good. We got the blue majik and açaí bowl, both completely different flavors but great in their own way. The consistency of the smoothie bowl was perfect, the fruit was perfectly ripe, and the Nutella/honey drizzle was to die for! Super filling without feeling guilty, wish I lived closer!
