Mana Bowls Acai Cafe

I really enjoyed my açai bowls! We ordered the small bowls but the quantity is perfect, we were so full. Thanks! I will come back

Ate here twice. Had a medium bowl the first time. It was A LOT. Go with a small. The bowls have the perfect balance of açaí and toppings.

Really good little spot. Outdoor area could be improved but the acai bowls themselves are excellent and a good variety and the two young women working werr friendly. We will 100% be back and can highly recommend!

Epic bowls and smoothies. High quality organic fruits and veg made fresh with raw honey. 10/10 for a healthy meal. Family friendly aloha vibes! 🌺 🌞 🍌🍓🍍🥝🥑

I haven't had a Mana bowl I don't like, though they do taste pretty similar. A great alternative to just eating ice cream on a hot day. A little pricey, but that hasn't stopped us before. Great visit after a hike or a swim in the creek

Great small spot! Love the vibe and he atmosphere of it, the bowl is with good quality ingredients. Perfect

Excellent place for a Healthy bowl of goodness!

Worth the trip for an açaí bowl from San Francisco, we come at least twice a month!

I am really in love with this place, it reminds me of an açaí surf shack back home -- such a vibe. Juicy fresh gorgeous berries and creamy, delicious açaí that is pure medicine. IMO açaí is better than coffee, and it powers me through any challenging day. Not too sweet, not too frozen or ice crystal-y. This place nails it. I love the menu and always end up ordering 3-5 bowls that I can freeze and enjoy throughout the week because their menucraft is so creative and drool-worthy. 5 stars for quality honey that reflects this beautiful region we live in. Mana Bowls you're still my #1 Marin açaí valentine, love you.

Mana bowls is definitely the best Açaí bowl place in all of Marin. I have no bias as I don't personally know anybody that works here. It's just relatively close to my work and I get bowls for my lunch breaks. I've personally been to every single açaí bowl place in the area and nothing tops it. The ratio of ingredients is absolutely perfect and the display is perfect. The fruit is actually cold aswell, which is usually not the case for most places that serve this kind of stuff

Had the Vitality Bowl-- loved it! I've been on an açaí bowl kick and this place nailed it. Fresh, refreshing, great topping ratio--- so good! Will definitely make this a regular stop.

Second time mana bowls in Fairfax while running an errand for my boss. Originally came for the Buffalo soft serve, which was incredibly delicious and I didn't know it would be lactose-free. Second time was for the avocado bowl! The avocado bowl really taste like avocado and for the portion I would probably stick to Palmetto. The service was good. The gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful and the ambiance of the location is a normal café outdoor seating!

I only came here once almost ten years ago when my partner lived in larkspur, and I still talk about this place. the owner is friendly, cares about his food and customers, and generally has curated an amazing spot to eat and drink and hang out. the stand out experience for me was the chai he served: it was spicy, not chalky or made from a mix or powder, fresh, and it has absolutely ruined me. nothing lives up to that chai and I fear nothing ever will. I am doomed to wander the earth (los angeles area) searching for a chai I cannot obtain. genuinely hope to one day make it back to this spot

Service is extremely slow, and they run out of stuff just about every time. Staff consists primarily of teenagers with no sense of customer service etiquette.

I have never had an açaí bowl so tasteless and dissatisfying... but I wasn't going to comment until I pull out of the bowl what looks like a worm. I don't know if it's a worm or not it might be fibers from one of the fruits and I'm not not going to accuse them of anything until I have proof, but the bowl was also really not good at all. I don't think there was an ounce of fresh fruit in there. Even the blueberries were old. I'll definitely be throwing the rest away. I just don't know what this would be? The bowls are not made fresh so prepare to see a tub of the mix being dumped into your bowl. The girl working there was beautiful and sweet. The dog is cute. It's a cool vibe with the surfer stuff and the guy is clearly a lifetime surfer, but that's about the only good thing I have to say about this place. I wish I could've liked it more.

i never write reviews for places but was kinda shocked about my mana bowl experience...i walked in at about 1pm today and the person working was cutting strawberries for another order and gave me a second to think about what i wanted before i ordered. when i was ready to order he turned around with his red and dripping strawberry hands and took my order. with the same hands (that were still red and dripping mind you) took my cash and gave me change out of the register and my change (which was cash) was handed to me damp with red fingerprints from the strawberries. after that, he splashed his fingers with water for maybe 2 seconds and continued on with the strawberries for whoever's order was before mine. splashed his hands under water again before working on my açaí bowl. so weird and gross and they have the audacity to have this sign up for all to see:

Stopped by Mana Bowls with my dad after a day of mountain biking nearby. We were craving something cool and refreshing, and these bowls hit the spot perfectly. I went for the Islander Mana bowl, while my dad enjoyed the Hanalei acai bowl. Both were exactly what we needed after biking in the summer heat. The service was quick and friendly, and the bowls were packed with natural flavors and nutrients. Highly recommend trying this place if you're in the area!

Best açaí bowl I've had in the Bay. It's hard to find a açaí place that actually blends their bases by order. So delicious and had gorgeous bowls. The staff was very helpful.

They got my order wrong it was supposed to be a peanut butter mango bowl I received something else. It wasn't bad but it's definitely overpriced. I had other bowls that were cheaper an better. They did have a big line so maybe that's why they messed up the order.

Incredible fresh and delicious açaí bowls!!! I'm not sure how but they managed to make the perfect blend of crunch, sweetness, berries and banana in the Mana Bowl. Genius stuff. Always a good vibe in there, looking forward to going back again.

Mana Bowls has very small portions of toppings for a hefty price...quality has gone downhill.

The açaí bowl, as understood in America, often seems more about the fruit and granola toppings than about the açaí itself. In Brazil, I encountered no açaí bowls, merely cups full of plain, thick, icy, and sweet açaí that required no toppers; the açaí stood proudly on its own and in the heat of Ipanema it needed nothing more. Rarely have I encountered açaí in America that stands up to the true Brazilian stuff but every once in a while I've encountered açaí that seems a different product entirely. Sometimes this is the result of thinning the berry with apple juice, a process which imparts a different flavor and consistency. Here at Mana Bowls, it seems they thin their açaí with juice but to a consistency that is both runny and, to my taste buds, unpleasant. The menu is dense with offerings and the acai bowl I got ($12, regular size) included berries, banana, granola, coconut, and honey, all of which I was grateful for because every time my spoon hit that açaí on its own the resulting spoonful did not bring joy. Brazil is clearly too far to go for a warm weather treat but San Rafael is probably not; Brazilian Breads serves up a far better açaí bowl.

Great smoothies! Very cool laid back vibe. The bufala ice cream is also excellent. Have not tried the acai bowls yet, but they looked amazing!

So delicious, brings me back to Hawaii! The Hanalei bowl is my 4 year old's most requested treat.

Yes, it is pricey, but it's worth it. No plastic, organic, and perfect after a long hike. They were close for a while due to Covid19 (I believe) but they are now open for business. Remember to practice social distancing while you're in there.

Today I went her to get a mana bowl and it was really good! But I had to wait 25 minutes to get my food don't know if I would go back

Super yummy and healthy bowls ! Friendly staff , lots of options to choose from. Great place to refresh after a hike to Cataract trail

This is my favorite place to get mana/acai bowls in Marin County. The granola is good and not too sugary tasting, the fruit is fresh, and the employees are usually very friendly. I always go for the fruity flavors, but they have options with peanut butter and chocolate if you're into that. One complaint I do have is that they are not the most reliable. I've shown up an hour after they were supposed to be open and no one was there yet. Moreover, sometimes they are out of some things on the menu, but that is common with any place and I love most of their bowls so it's not a big deal. Lastly, they raised their prices so it's pretty expensive. However, I definitely think it's worth the money and I treat it as a full meal, not just a snack. Overall, it's definitely worth the drive--I love bringing people when they come to visit or just going there with a group of friends!

The tastiest snack around Marin. Where else do you get pawed by a dog implying that it wants your attention while you order. With a relaxing atmosphere you can eat in or outdoors. We love it here!

The first time a came here a few years ago I got a classic açaí bowl, I came back for the first time today and had the worst experience. I spent $15 on a room temperature Yerba mate and a watery smoothie that also was room temperature. Granted it was a hot day, but frozen fruit should be cold...? The water jug was practically empty and the water in it tasted weird and tainted my water bottle. The person working ignored us when we walked in and didn't help me and my friend until we asked. I'm not a Marin snob but this sucked. Never coming back. Shoulda spent my hard earned money at Xoxo Edit: this was completely out of hand, y'all are doing great.

Now I've never been to Brazil, but I do know that if I'm ever in the mood for açaí I will not be visiting anywhere else. Staff was gentle, kind, and informative. Ingredients were very fresh and pricing was relatively cheap compared to other açaí places. If you're ever in Fairfax this is a must visit.

This is the place the first ever introduced me to açaí bowls and I'm now addicted. Fresh ingredients that are organic make this a healthy spot to stop for breakfast or for an afternoon pick me up.

Stumbled upon this place when the Fairfax Coffee Roasters across the street wasn't accepting credit cards. Perfect bowl for my bike ride on a hot day. Cyclists should def check this place out. Reasonable prices and large servings with fresh fruit.

My first time at Mana Bowls and first time trying these açaí bowls...and let me tell you...it was delicious! Everything about this place is awesome, in my opinion. The place is cute, the food is delish, the staff was great! She was sweet and nice. Great customer service, for sure! The location is nice, when I'm working at Fairfax; but definitely, far from my home. However, I got the medium size Bright Pitaya Bowl and a coconut water for lunch. It was filling for me and just the perfect portion. My manager got the small size Dark Chocolate Mango Bowl. She didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mine, because she realized that she didn't have mangoes and dark chocolate chips in hers. Anywho, I would recommend this place for anyone who is in that area and is craving for these açaí bowls.

Great spot in charming downtown Fairfax. Fresh, organic, produce with reduced sugar options. The owner is very friendly, and looks to be getting this place up and running again after a renovation and Covid closures. I had the Mana bowl. Lots of others I'll be checking out next time. Check it out!

Grabbed the Tamalpal bowl for a light lunch and it hit the spot! Delicious and fresh! Definitely check them out!

Fresh, quick and yummy. The dark chocolate, size small (less the bananas) is the perfect post hike snack for me. Or lunch. Or really just anytime!

Just stopped in, 2pm on a Wednesday. I, my husband and brother wanted a healthy treat after a hike in West marin. There was a worker working, making a bowl for another customer. I get it-- making healthy fruit bowls takes time, but this woman didn't even turn around to acknowledge us upon entering and continued her conversation with the other customer. When she finally did turn around to say hello she looked the three of us up and down and said, "wow there are a lot of people here today" rolled her eyes, turned the music up on the radio. We waited awkwardly about 15 minutes, but when she didn't even bother to apologize for the delay or chat with us, we just left. This place is so overpriced and full of themselves. It's just smoothies.

Delectable... I really found they have a good understanding of real Heath Althea they had something for everyone on their menus their was the sweet section no sugar section and specials I had their no sugar and it was amazing didn't taste any kale or any other greens that where in their I highly recommend also service was great seemed like a local hot spot.

I usually go to SF Basik off of Polk but this place is pretty decent for Marin! Very fresh and tasty I will definitely come back

On the expensive side, but excellent flavors. I went with the pure bowl and added gogi berries. $10 for a medium size, which was enough for me plus $2 for the berries Im used to backyard bowls in Santa Barbara where you get the goji berries and bee pollen in a large size for the same price as the medium here without those toppings. $2 per topping? Really? Come on guys! Otherwise great bowls.

Giving this only 1 star because the kids are trying. They are out of 80%and they are serving melted runny bowls. The staff is stressed, scratching their heads, literally playing with their phones and leaving the building while customers are in line. What a joke!

The service here is really top notch. The smoothies are delicious, lots of good options on the menu, excellent quality fruit.

Do not order online through Yelp. This is a second listing for the same business. They have new ownership and are no longer working with GrubHub. They are working with DoorDash not GrubHub Good bowls. Pet Friendly

Dropped by this place after a hike in Pt. Reyes, since we had driven by earlier and thought it looked lovely. Everyone else looked like high school students so I'm guessing it's a pretty cool casual place to hang around, it has some comfy seating areas inside & outside. I got the pitaya bowl and loved it! Kiwis, strawberries, coconut flakes + more. I wish we had one of these in San Jose :(

I am now obsessed with Mana Bowls. I came here the other day with my mom and sister. I was hearing rave reviews and great things from my friends. I needed to try this place. Wow. I am so glad that this place finally opened up! Located in Fairfax, Mana Bowls serves health,y generous portions of a type of Acai sorbet with granola, fruit, and really just anything. There is a menu full of different types you can choose from, and you can also choose your own toppings. Since it was my first time, I asked what looked like the manager, what the most popular order was. He replied with either the Surf Bowl, or Cataract Falls. I went with the Surf Bowl in a medium size. In the bowl was a type of Acai sorbet, granola, bananas, shredded coconut, & kiwi. There might have been more but I think that's it! It was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten. The Acai was so fresh and the fruit was amazing. I loved how the granola added a little crunch to my bowl. After eating, I was full and satisfied. I was not hungry for dinner afterward (this is very filling, you could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner)! My mom got the Cataract Falls, which I believe is the same as the Surf Bowl, just a little less sweet with Dragonfruit mixed into the Acai sorbet. I tried some of hers, and it was amazing! The people that work here are friendly, and willing to help. The ambiance is laid back and joyful. I highly recommend Mana Bowls! It fills you with a healthy, organic meal that honestly nobody could hate. Definitely a place to try. I will be back!!!

Five stars for flavor. Negative stars for service and organization. Always out of fruit or granola on hot days. Got a room temperature smoothie on a 95 degree day, it was disappointing. Girls behind the counter did not wear their masks (during mandate) and were more interested in socializing and trying to kill the bee with windex that found its way into the store. (Just open the door and shoo it out, omg who kills bees!) Used to come here all the time but getting tired of the issues.

Generous portions and downright delicious! I don't know how there can be complaints in here about the staff. We have a tradition to stop here on the way home from school with a bunch of middle schoolers every week and the staff is always patient, warm and helpful. Could there be anything yummier for post-school fuel?

Amazing açaí might be expensive for some but let me tell you they don't play here with the amount you get. They have a variety of bowls with different blends and toppings. I'll be coming for more since this is one of my favorites

The service was not exactly the best but it's understandable since there was a huge party of nine right before me. The acai bowls are definitely above average. There are a lot of choices but are on the pricey side. They serve orders that are dine-in in ceramic bowls, which is really cute because there are a lot of different designs. I wanted to get mine in a ceramic bowl too, but we were just stopping by for a quick bite before heading to Point Reyes. I got a Cataract Falls Pitaya bowl in medium togo. I wasn't too pleased with the size but the tastiness makes up for it. It was very flavorful and you can tell they didn't dilute the smoothie part with water. The granola, sun flower seeds, and coconut shreds add a good crunch.

Great vibes and even better acai The fruit there is all organic and pretty high quality and you can taste it in the blend! Its a cute little acai cafe and every one I know thats been has loved the food. Especially good for the hot summer days.

I went to mana bowls to get a quick snack, I ordered a Hanalei bowl which looked super yummy. 30 mins later I go back into the shop to find that my order was still not ready and that they seemed to had forgotten my order completely. When I finally received my order it was the wrong size and wrong type of bowl. It was missing all the toppings and the main ingredient, pineapple. I was very disappointed in the management of this facility. It seemed to be run by a bunch of high schoolers. With this, they also were not wearing gloves when preparing our food. During this time, all food industries should be required to wear gloves when handling food.

Went there for breakfast with a friend and it was AMAZING! Service was excellent, it was clean, and the setting was peaceful. I got the small surf bowl but I asked for no kiwi and the very nice employee offered if I wanted to have strawberries instead! :) I will definitely be going back

Staff is super friendly. Bowls are super heart and healthy. Get the smallest one for a snack and the medium size or bigger if you're super hungry. Shop dog is also super chill and friendly. Available parking in the lot across the street (4 hours). Excellent people watching even from the safety of your car.

We so badly want to continue to support you guys but we are super tired of ordering LARGE bowls and getting less than we paid for. If you're going to charge $15 (it was $13 when we first started coming here) for a smoothie bowl, then you better load your customers up! Otherwise we just can't justify paying $15 for a smoothie bowl. We used to come here regularly and since the price hikes we've had to cut back, but with the consistently small portions we don't know if we can continue to support you guys. Please fix this issue!

I can't believe this place doesn't have a higher rating! We stopped by on a hot Sunday afternoon and got a bowl and a smoothie. Both were delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable, especially given everything is organic, and they use very cute wooden spoons and actually sturdy straws so even during covid there's no plastic waste. I'll be back next time I'm in Fairfax!

Stumbled upon this place today and I'm already tempted to trek back asap. Ordered the Surf Bowl and it was scrumdiddlyumptious, nutritious, and filling. Get on the acai bowl train - it's magically refreshing.
