If it wasn't for my incredibly smooth, creamy caffeinated wonder with coffee ice cubes (added agave), this would have been a 3 star experience. If you didn't already know, I recommend the cold brew iced coffee!
The design has an amazon rainforest theme to it, with gorgeous pops of tropical pastels but yet its simple and inhibits a relaxing environment.
I get the number 4 açaí bowl, which is Açaí, Almond mylk, raw cacao powder, mesquite powder, honey, banana, raw cacao nibs, and granola.
When I devour açaí its a plethora of sweetness from fruits and coconut flakes and nuts. As much as I love cacao and know it can be bitter, I might have went over my head, which is the reason for the disappointment of my experience.
1. WAY too much granola, which is saying a lot for me because I love granola
2. WAY too much honey, and it didn't taste like the raw natural honey, tasted (and looked) like the sugary concoction
3. The honey I would suppose had the purpose to counteract the bitterness of the mesquite and cacao powder but it overpowered and actually tasted bland. My taste buds couldn't dissect the açaí from everything else that was going on.
I tried some of my friend's number 3 bowl and THAT was what I should have ordered. Its acai, frozen banana, coconut milk, stevia, topped w/mango,pineapple, coconut flakes, and goji berries. It was perfect.
I appreciated was how BIG the portion sizes were and for $10; same with the coffee. I ordered a small and it looked like a large ($3). The hours are great too, hard to find a local business that is open until 8pm (as well as Sunday), especially for healthy options like this.
Would I come back? Absolutely! And recommend it to friends and family too. The service was pleasant and prompt, immaculate and bright, and I'm eager to try another (fruity) bowl! ***They also have smoothies, vegan cookies, and sandwiches!
