Sarava Açaí Café

Best Açaí Bowl, I ever had. I went with the traditional açaí. All natural ingredients and not overly sweet. It was worth the trip

I can’t say enough about how delicious the food is here! Very healthy and natural tasting - we had the original açaí bowl and the Wakey Wakey smoothie with pea protein and a chia donut which was really really good! We will be back!

super yummy! healthy and big back options for any taste. small is a great portion size, good spot for a brunch moment. hihi

Won a gift certificate to this place! Never really had acai before but did try a bit of it at the event where I won the gift certificate. I decided it was worth trying again. And I am glad I did! The bowl was not only delicious it was so fresh and very chilled. It included bananas, dates, coconut, honey... I highly recommend the bowls and next time I will try the smoothies. This is a cute little place off the beaten path in Wilton Manors, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I’ve been coming here for years so they pretty much know my order. Never had a bad experience and was surprised when I saw that they added poke bowls to the menu.

Most amazing acai bowls with so many delicious topping options. Highly recommended

Overall, a great place! The staff is super friendly and efficient. I had an Acai bowl and the pinkie winkie smoothie which were delicious. The ingredients are all natural and fresh. Will be back!

Cute little shop in a small plaza. I had an acai bowl and it was very good! Fresh produce and good acai base consistency. The owner was very friendly as well. Would recommend :)

I was walking during my break and I stumbled upon this gem accidentally while on my walk. They have build your own smoothies and açaí bowls, but also have recommended ones on the menu. It is walking distance to The Pride Center at Equality Park. They have a wide range menu with fresh ingredients! The staff worker that took my order was not very warm, but overall this is a great place to find a cool drink. I will definitely come back to try something that has more berries or get an açaí bowl. This place is a definite must try!

Incredible. For my first visit I tried the #5 Falsa Baiana acai bowl, and a chia donut. All delicious! The place was empty when I walked in early on a weekday so I snagged a window seat upfront. It filled up pretty quickly after that. Clearly the secret is out... the cafe itself is bright, colorful and clean with an excellent soundtrack. Adding Sarava to my regular rotation.

found this place on yelp while searching for a health spot near my dog groomer. ended up spontaneously meeting my friends here and made a lunch date out of it. they ordered selections from the menu, but i decided to make my own bowl. i picked açai for the base, and topped that with granola, banana, strawberry, blueberries, peanut butter, and honey. it was absolutely out of this world delicious. not too sweet, just the right amount of crunch, and a portion size fit for the competition. i am still dreaming about my bowl and cant wait to come back, time and time again. thanks a lot !

A friend recommended this place and oh my goodness was her recommendation on point. So many Acai places are popping up these days, but with obviously pre frozen and non fresh ingredients, or with way too much added sugar. This place hit the spot, everything was super fresh, it's a super aesthetic place to sit and talk with friends or just read, and the other vegan desserts are on point. You have to try the chia donut!

Still the best Açaí cafe in Broward County, hands down. We make special trips to go to the gym (Challenge Fitness) nearby and then go to Sarava to grab some açaí bowls afterwards. It's the perfect combo!

Such a yummy place! On the healthier side as well! The workers are awesome - great service! They walked me through each item on the menu one by one just to make sure that my first experience is awesome. If you are a coffee lover, make sure to get cafezinho as well The place is pretty cute inside - perfect for a weekend brunch/lunch.

What a cute little Cafe to grab a refreshing smoothie or enjoy a filling açaí bowl! With indoor and outdoor seating options available, Saravá Açaí Cafe is a great place to sit, enjoy and fuel up. The açaí bowls are great tasting and filling. Parking can be a little tricky as there are limited spots and located on a busy roadway, however it was worth the stop.

Açai is made fresh no sugar is added to it, which I love the fruit on the top is so delicious all the blueberries were nice and sweet not sour the ambience is colorful with bright beautiful pictures. The service is fast and the lady who works at the front is very nice.

Sarava delivers again! Every time my coworkers and I need a quick, reliable, and TASTY lunch, the answer is easy. The acai is always the perfect consistency. The mix of fruit, chopped peanuts, and cacao nibs takes the bow to the next level. Love it!!!

It's been a year since my first review of this neighborhood gem, and it's still an easy 5* rating. I challenge you to find an açaí bowl anywhere that is a delicious and fresh as this one!

Friendly atmosphere, delicious and fresh ingredients, customization AND allows dogs:) A local winner for a light yet nourishing delight

This cute little Acai cafe was so good! It's definitely a hidden gem with great Acai bowls and amazing customer service, will definitely be back! It was my first time trying Saravá and it won't be the last. I got the Tradicional acai bowl with almond butter instead of condensed milk. It was so delicious! And the bowls are huge!! Overall a great experience!! :)

I visited Sarava in need of a little extra vitamin energy boost after my second case of covid, ugh. I was surprised at how small the menu is, but they were very open to substitutions. Yeah, I'm a picky eater with fruit too! I got a smoothie, #1, and it hit the spot! Fast, friendly service and a very colorful seating area. They have a little bit of outdoor seating as well.

Food is amazing here and the service is super friendly and always on point! You deff need to stop in and try it out!

Great Acai Cafe, I was a bit worry about the price at first, $14 for a standard bowl, however you get a lot for that price. The bowl was probbaly twice as big as the other Acai places that price around $10. Friendly staff here, willing to customize my order and was very helpful with it. Highly recommend it.

The staff is very pleasant. The Acai bowls are HUGE, fresh and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. Don't be fooled by the outside of the building. It does look a little worn and is not the most glamourous. But as in the past, I have found that these are the best places for quality. This place proved me right. It's tiny inside but cute and quaint. Forget about the chain smoothie and bowl spots. Do yourself a favor and go here. You're welcome :-)

EVERYTHING on the menu seemed so perfect it was hard to choose. I ordered the Americana 2 (Açaí Bowl) and it was so fresh, so perfect and made with love. The ambiance inside is also just as pure with positive energy. So much so that I sat down and ate my bowl inside. The service, amazing. I made a few additions to my bowl and they were all confirmed with a smile. I'll be back tomorrow! You'll leave here happy.

I found this gem on here cuz I didn't want to go to a chain and the pics and review I found said "it was the bet açaí bowl in ft lauderdale " ...and they were right. The owner was so sweet and genuine and overall I love the vibe. And my bowl ( the Falsa Baiana- N0 5) was delicious! Great portion and very tasty! Perfect vibe for reading your book or working on your computer. Probably coming back tomorrow lol

A little hard to find tucked away in Wilton Manors, Sarava Açaí Cafe. It's located in a fairly new small plaza with a small pull up parking lot. The place itself is bright & clean with a slight tropical decor. There is some cute limited bench seating set up kind of like a reception area. The service was not helpful but polite. Their menu consists of a few açaí bowls and smoothies. After reviewing the concise menu I ordered the Garota açaí bowl. It had açaí, frozen banana, coconut milk and stevia. Then topped with fresh mango, pineapple, coconut flakes and goji berries. The açaí bowl was fresh, tasty and had a nice presentation. They use some unusual ingredients (stevia, fresh goji berries not dried, mesquite powder, crushed peanuts, etc.) in their bowls compared to other places I've been to and it came through in the taste. Although I enjoyed it, it's not on the top of my list.

Great place and great customer service. Healthy food and a great atmosphere. It's really a gem.

My favorite place for açaí bowls anywhere and they're a good size too. Real nice owner and others that work there. Clean and cute place.

My favorite açaí place I been coming here for 2 years and is always been good and clean. The only thing they need to consider is there schedule is very limited.... They close too early.

This place is delicious! Best açaí I've had in south Florida so far! Great flavor and the staff topped off our meal with great service.

This place is my go to for acai bowls. Like yooo you have no idea how good these are. I get the falsa baina and its the best. Packed with crunchy peanuts, cocao nibs and bananas. I love to add some almond drizzle for some extra good good. There smoothies are also very good I'm into the choco berry at the moment. My first love was the carrot smoothie which is also very yummy. If you're craving an acai bowl you gotta try them out. Downside- sometimes it gets real busy and the wait can be long but they take their time to make it right for you and they always come out delicious. Come at a good time and the wait is no more than 5 mins.

Of course when you're starting off a new year you get a little roped into the new you, new healthy you phase. This place has some delicious açaí bowls! I came in and was caught off guard at how clean and inviting the ambiance presented itself. I was one of 2 people there so I got to walk right up, place my order and sit quietly with my book. The cashier was also very friendly and patient with me. I kinda did a little photo research so I knew what I wanted. What if don't expect was to see some fresh raspberries on top of my bowl, a pricy treat nevertheless. This is a cool little place to do some light reading, meet in a small group or just grab a healthy bite on the go. They also have vegan, gluten free options for those who have dietary restrictions. One more think... There's a wall made up of garden favorites and guess what, they're all real! I know you instagram lovers love a good backdrop. Thank me later! IG: @TheHungryDocStudent

Awesome Acai bowl! On my way back from Lauderdale By the Sea one early morning, I wanted something light and refreshing. I yelped and Sarava came up. I pulled up on this clean, modern, and tropical setting. It was clean, the air was fresh, and it was very welcoming (hence where the name SARAVA derives). I ordered a Tradicional Acai bowl. It was made with a blend of raw Acai, banana, guarana syrup, and honey. Topped with granola, fresh banana, and condensed milk (this was the perfect touch). It was just what I needed to reenergize my morning. A perfect blend, Not too sweet, not too watery, but just right. It was full of refreshing flavors to balance my palate. The cashier (I believe he may have been the manager) was very nice. He welcomed me as a first time customer. Explained the rewards system and advised that every point earned gets me closer to a free item. I am excited to return and try a few more bowls and smoothies.

I decided to try out this place because I happened to be in the area and was in the mood for an Açaí bowl. One of the main things I always consider about an establishment is customer service. I have to say that is the primary reason why I wasn't blown away here. The staff seemed lackluster and almost bothered. I wasn't greeted when I entered and I waited a few minutes before even being acknowledged at the counter. Also, I've been to several other places for bowls and I've never waited this long for one - it took a solid 15 mins. The bowl itself wasn't bad. I probably wouldn't come here again, as I am not usually in this part of town. If they had better service, however, there's a good chance I'd go out of my way to come back.

Clean, friendly, great options for Açaí Bowls and Smoothies. Always busy so everything is fresh and tasty.

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!

I like the ambiance but the açaí bowl was over rated and over priced in my opinion. I can get the same quality açaí with more toppings for less at raw addiction. Parking is also a challenge so it's inconvenient to stop. I doubt I'll be back. I need more value.

What a fantastic place! I got the Americana fruit bowl and it was extremely delicious and very fresh. It was also about 5 pounds of açaí, definitely a great deal. There is also a cool wall of live plants on the inside. The owner was very nice.

I'm visiting friends in Florida & noticed this place so once I saw it had 5 stars I had to come. The place was empty but it was also midday on a Friday. The man helping me was soooo kind and even offered to add a different fruit to my bowl because I didn't want Goji. I ordered the bowl #3 which next time I will definitely add granola, I didn't realize it didn't come with any. It was huge and delicious. Next time I'm the area I will get this spot my business for sure!

Very clean place and tasty smoothies. Choco Berry Protein smoothie was my choice with a nice balance of chocolate, blueberries and bananas. Some smoothies make you feel like you need swimmer lungs to get it through the straw, but this one is an easy sip and enjoy. The extra fixings like almonds and chia seeds make you feel healthy af. The garden on the wall also makes the place smell more natural and feels comforting. I got my smoothie to go but it's such a nice quiet place I could see myself coming back and staying longer to sip slowly and enjoy the relaxed environment.

In the heart of Wilton Manors, not too far from The Alchemist; Saravá does not disappoint! Finally a açaí bowl that does not have added sugar (more so than don't if you ask when ordering, but thankfully not here). Vibe is great, smoothies are fantastic and all ingredients used are super fresh. Staff is really nice and accommodating. Will be visiting again soon.

I love Sarava Açaí Cafe! Delicious açaí bowls--the best in quality, flavor, and quantity! The bowls are simply delicious. The deserts and coffee to match. To top it all off, the staff is so lovely--really warm, kind, friendly! I could eat here every day.

Really cool hipster spot with limited parking, but some really cool and healthy options from smoothies to bowls. I got a large mango ginger smoothie which reminded me of thanksgiving. It took a good while for them to make it. I think they make everything from scratch, including cutting up the ingredients to go it it. The only downside is they have super limited parking and only a few tables so if you are planning to stay you may have to wait to find parking.

Delicious and fresh acai bowls! I've been here as often as 3 times in the same week. Highly recommend this small business

Yes, I will jump on the bandwagon and give this charming café another five star review because it truly deserves it! I was searching Yelp for a place for a healthy lunch and I found Sarava. The place is inviting, decorated in bright colors, with a wondrous wall of green plants. It also looks spotless! Kurt, the owner is lovely. We had a long discussion about the five different acai bowls offered. I finally decided on the Americana, with lots of berries, granola, bee pollen, and salted honey. It was huge and probably the best acai bowl I have had. I think I got through half of it. The blueberries were plump and the strawberries had just been sliced. The acai itself was cool and frosty, with just the right amount of sweetness. The honey was a nice touch and the granola was the perfect crunch factor. I also had a cold brewed coffee with coconut milk. The beverage was full bodied, smooth, and sweet. The café also offers smoothies and Brazilian crepes. Next time I just might have to be adventurous and try the Amor Verde Acai Bowl, the one with kale and spinach!

It was good! Cute little place. Big bowl, but for me next time i will ask for more fruit. I got the traditional add strawberries and hemp with no condensed milk. It was a large bowl very filling.

I've been craving an açaí bowl for sometime & thanks to my fellow yelpers decided to check this place out. Very nice and clean location. I ordered the No 3 Garota De ipanema- açaí bowl with pineapple, mango, kiwi, coco flakes, & goji berries. So delish, exactly what I wanted to fulfill my craving. I thought the pricing was fair considering how large the portion was. The table next to me had a slice of tapioca cake it looked so good I need to go back for a slice.

Whenever you live in another country for a lengthy period and then leave, there is always something that you deeply miss about it. Such was my situation when I left Brazil, more particularly Leblon, a beach of Rio adjacent to the more famous Ipanema. To this day, I miss the laid-back easy going mindset of the Cariocas, the barbecued pancha steaks and the stylish samba dancers of Beija Flor. But most of all I miss all of the wonderful fruit and juice shops that line the streets. So when I saw Saravá Açaí Café, it was a case of love at first sight. I confess I was a little taken back by its name, Saravá, which I had come to associate with Macumba, but the owner, Kurt, advised me the sense of the word as used here is meant as a "welcoming goodness or being a statement of wishing good luck." Every aspect of Saravá Açaí Café is stunningly Brazilian, from its interior appearance to its delicious fresh fruits and juices. The clean lines of its interior and simplistic but perfectly accented décor couldn't be better. And by the way, those plants you see adorning the wall aren't fake. They're real. As for the food, though most offerings are clearly geared toward the use of açaí, but overall complete with everything being as fresh as it gets, with each serving individually crafted. The mangos are fresh cut and your order hand assembled before your eyes. On my first visit, I immediately had to try their "Garota de Ipanema" (No. 3) as it not only bore the name of my favorite Brazilian hangout booze bar but also of my favorite Brazilian juice and fruit stand. The "No.3" is a dish assembled of açaí, banana, coconut milk, stevia (a no calorie sweetener), fresh cut mango, gogi (wolfberry) and a salted honey, it was not only totally delicious but in fact better than any similar dish I had anywhere in Brazil. On other visits, I've had their "Tradicional" (No. 1), also delicious, topped with granola, and a special unique in taste seasonal pumpkin smoothie. I confess my total amazement that they are able to obtain the fresh ingredients for their dishes, but even more surprised that what they have here in Wilton Manors is in fact superior to any such dishes I've had in Brazil. So, on those counts, Saravá gets my well-deserved Five Stars.

Amazing spot for smoothies and açaí bowls! I'm a bit of a bowl junkie, having sampled them across California, Maui, NYC, and even Australia; Sarava's are some of my favorites anywhere. My favorite bowls have to be the Garota de Ipanema (açaí blended with coconut milk and stevia, topped with tropical fruits) or the Falsa Baiana (because peanut butter and banana are always a good match), but the monthly specials are unique and truly worth considering. March's matcha bowl, green smoothie, and shamrock shake were awesome! Also, the team here's super friendly and always down to accommodate special requests (no honey, substituting a topping, etc). Will return whenever we find ourselves near Fort Lauderdale.

I have tried other places but Sarava is by far the best place for acai bowls. It's the best tasting and no other places can compare. The fruits look and taste fresh, the service was great. I was recommended the Tradicional base with Americana toppings, which I absolutely love. My hubby really likes the Falsa because he likes peanut butter.

Best Acai bowls I've ever had. They use only the highest quality of ingredients and I love the various textures in their bowls. It's an extremely filling and nice treat.

Yummy açaí bowl. It was the Number 2. Staff is very helpful and nice. Will come back for sure. Girl knew I was sick so she offered the ginger tumeric shot to help.

Best açaí bowl in town for sure. The portions are very generous, #4 is the best with the cocoa nibs. A huge bowl for $12.50 Cool staff, & design. Definitely will come back

By far the best açaí and smoothie place in Fort Lauderdale. They have a ton of options and their bowls are huge and extremely fresh. I've tried a few and all have been absolutely delicious. It does take some time as each bowl is handmade so I recommend calling in advance of arrival if you're in a rush. This place is off the beaten path. It is really cute inside with a living plant wall. Very relaxing atmosphere.

YES. Although I was in Fort Lauderdale for a short amount of time, this was my favorite place. It was very neat, nice, and clean inside. The service was great and the employees were very helpful with their suggestions. I ordered the Americana Acai bowl. A friend warned me that the bowls were huge, but I was like...it's just yogurt and some fruit, how big could it be. IT. WAS. HUGE. I couldn't even finish all of it! Go when you're very hungry because it truly is a lot of food. I would love to go back sometime soon!

Finally took a chance and tried this place out, and I'm so glad I did. I've been back several times and tried 4/6 of the acai bowls on the menu (N°3-6). I figured if I'm going to be a regular, then I should try them all! (With the exception of N°1-2 - they're typical acai bowls I have tried elsewhere, so I figured I'm not missing out here.) Honestly, N°5, the Falsa Baiana, is soooooooo good. It upsets me how good it is! I wasn't sure the first time I picked it because of the peanuts - sure enough, they overwhelmed everything else with how salty they were, and I'm a huge fan of some salty crunch in my acai bowl. Yesterday I swapped it for granola, and oh my Gooooooood. Yes. YEEEEES. I have officially found my favorite bowl. I recommend you do the same! In addition, the cafe itself is cute af. The bathroom is always clean and fresh, and it's just so airy and light and chill. I'm glad they're not by my house so I can't just be there all day. Stop hesitating on trying this place out and DO IT! You won't regret it.

Excellent location, friendly staff, and delicious açaí. Will definitely return for another bowl next time I'm in Wilton Manors area.
