Every time we travel to a new city, I'm on the lookout for an Acai bowl spot. I've had the opportunity to try many different kinds and I'm not lying when I say, Franklin Juice Co's is my absolute favorite. First, let's start with the fact that they offer three different sizes. I love this concept as it allowed us to get size small's for our two kids and my wife and I (being the pack leader) went with the large. Franklin Juice Co seems to make their bowls a bit different than most in that they pre-make their bases and while they're making them, they push the acai base up around the sides of the bowl, creating a crater in the middle. Then when it comes time to add the fillings/granola, they fill the crater with granola! This is a game changer in my opinion. The granola mixed with acai is always my favorite part of the bowls, but most places only add granola on the top. The way Franklin Juice Co does it, having the granola mixed throughout, brings joy, pleasure and excitement to every bite. While we're talking granola, Franklin Juice Co also has legit gluten-free granola. Most places that offer GF granola typically offer some weak, 2nd citizen granola. Franklin's is top notch. Lastly, I loved how fast the service was. Constructing these bowls can be labor intensive, but Franklin Juice Co has figured out a way to streamline the process to get you your bowls pretty fast. We spent three days in Franklin, TN and during that period I made three separate trips to Franklin Juice Co (inside the Factory at Franklin). FWIW, their prices are at parity with literally every other acai bowl spot across the country, so I don't think you can knock them on that one, that's just the price you're going to pay for handcrafted fruit ice cream!
