Selva Sana Acai, Juice & Salad Bar

[Update: They apologized and we remedied the situation :) I do tours around Atlanta and I always stop at Chattahoochee Food Works. I’ll continue to recommend their business to my tour guests. Thanks! ] Smoothies are delicious. Made right in front of you and you can see the ingredients going in, which I like. I’m giving 3 stars because the service was terrible and SO SLOW. I’ve gotten smoothies here many times before so I’m somewhat familiar with the staff. There’s a younger woman who gives good service. But there’s an older gentleman who hardly says a word. He ignores you while he makes a prior orders at a snail’s pace. I went to go move my car out of the 15-minute parking spot and by the time i got back, he was still slowlyyyyy working on the one order ahead of me. In total I waited 25 minutes before i got my smoothie and there was only 2 crepes and 2 smoothies ahead of mine. No reason it should take that long and for him to have literally zero customer service.

I visited Selva today and it was a disappointing experience. I waited about 5 minutes for someone to come to the counter as there was no sign and it was empty when I arrived. I assumed the employee may have went to the restroom. So I understood and waited patiently. A male employee came in with a mop bucket and no labeled work shirt (a black new balance shirt) and never acknowledged me. I assumed he may have been apart of a cleaning crew. So for clarity, I asked if he worked there. He then said “Obviously I work here, why would I be in here?”. Very rude and sarcastic tone. I said “I thought you were apart of a cleaning crew and you don’t have on a work shirt. I wouldn’t know.” I drove a long way here after my flight so I decided to order still. Please speak with this employee about their professionalism. This Açaí was also very watered down and icey as another reviewer mentioned. It was not worth $16. For these reasons, I will not be back.

Selva Sana is the best place in ATL to go for your acai and smoothie fix. Whenever I travel, I always make it a point to try out the acai from the city where I'm visiting. They differ from most acai bowl shops by offering not a bowl but an acai cup. This small variation from the other establishments I've visited in the past gives you a pleasant view of what you're eating. I ordered a Blue Energize and did a Build My Own Bowl. What I added to my bowl can be seen below. The acai base wasn't overly sweet. If you eat as many acai bowls as I do, you'll notice that many places will add sweetners to their bases, which takes away from it truly being a health food. Selva Sanas acai base is sweetened with a little bit of coconut water, which only makes it that much more refreshing. They're not only interested in serving aesthetically pleasing products, but everything is served with the health of the customer in mind. Support your health by supporting this business.

Ordered the matcha smoothie, açai smoothie, tropical recovery smoothie, and an açai bowl. The matcha smoothie was pleasant, simple ingredients, mild flavor. My kids loved it. Açai smoothie pleasant and sweet, very yummy. The tropical recovery really packs a punch! Lots of flavors. The açai bowl was... in a cup? Which is very odd and inconvenient: the toppings are not as many as if it were a bowl, and they sink to the bottom of the cup so it's hard to get them. I have no idea why they make that their "signature thing." I saw other reviews complaining about this; if it's a bad system that people don't like, change the system.... But the taste was nice, and the texture was smooth and pleasant. I like the offerings of toppings, they were all yummy. And the employees working there were very kind and sweet! I'd come here again and try some other smoothies for sure. Good sustenance for a road trip.

Amazing açaí!! A little icey-like, but still really good!!

Solid smoothies from a solid place. If you need a nice little health kick, Selva Sana is a good place to grab a smoothie from!

Love this place! The smoothies are so yummy and it has a cute atmosphere. Can’t wait to try more things on the menu. The staff is very friendly as well. :)

Awesome service and smoothie every single time! My go to spot in the city by far! Highly recommend. Pictured tropical recovery 20oz. Orange juice, ginger, mango, pineapple, turmeric and spirulina.

Good spot! Selva Sana is located in Chattahoochee Food Works, which makes it convenient if you are looking for a quick and healthy option. I tried the açaí bowl--while it was not particularly unique, it was still solid. The ingredients were fresh, the texture was good, and it was satisfying overall. If you are in the area and want something refreshing, it is worth checking out.

My review is based on disappointment with the service. The bowl itself is okay despite the cheap choice of granola that they use. But be informed of the service aspect that can ruin one's experience. I once liked this place mainly because it's the closest i have for reliable acai and the only acai spot at The Works. The menu and management seems to have changed. I stood at the counter waiting for a worker and had to call to get someone to the counter. It happens people need a lunch break so that didn't stop me from ordering! I asked for "the classic" which is a traditional acai bowl which is usually served with a drizzle of honey on top. Not this time. I asked for the honey and was told i need to pay 1.25 extra due to "changes to the menu" which I was not aware. So I kindly declined and was forced to eat a dry acai bowl unless dishing out extra on a 12$ bowl of fruit. I was disappointed this time and don't think I would go back. I guess they could save money by not putting this flower on top and just improving the quality of the bowl and the service!

TLDR: Located in a cool area (The Works) and the service was great! The açaí was a 6/10 - I had "The Works" and it wasn't very sweet but the fruits were pretty sour. The Nutella was my favorite part. If you love açaí you should give this place a try but it is pretty pricey ($17) for a 16 oz cup. The ambiance was amazing. Went on a Thursday and there was a dj playing great music. If you want a healthy snack I'd recommend but if you are looking for the authentic açaí flavors, I'd look elsewhere.

The serving was a little small for the price but the taste and customer service made it well worth it! There were 2 or 3 options to choose from, or you could create your own mixing and matching toppings. The acai base came out of a soft serve type machine, which I usually find to be icy, but the texture was great!

I don't know why this establishment only has three stars! I really enjoyed my quick visit here. The employee recommended a great menu açaí "cup" and it was so delicious! I was very surprised to find the smoothie bowl in a cup but it worked just fine to eat. The flavors were delicious together and the presentation was so nice. I workout arohnd the corner so will definitely be back. I had been wanting to try this place in the works for a while; glad I finally did.

Delicious açaí bowls! Very quick service in the middle of the works. Great vibe in there with a bunch of different restaurants and stores.

This place is in chatahoochee food works and has an assortment of açaí bowls. It's a good option for vegan lovers as they bunch of choices to pick from. I really loved the presentation and the look of the bowl. That said, the bowl was a glass(???) it really needed more fruit and the granola tasted stale and not as crunchy. I'm an açaí bowl fan and this one fell just a bit short in the taste portal

Looking for a yummy & beautiful acai bowl in the area? You FOUND it! Their acai bowls are great! Essentially the bowl comes a ton of topping & you can remove any of them. Strawberries, blueberries, almond butter, granola, honest, chai seeds, and banana are my go to. I wish they opened earlier, but that's my only complaint.

I've eaten here once in the past and didn't have the best experience. I figured I'd give it another try and although my açaí bowl did taste much better this time I still wouldn't say it was great. Since it's served in a cup rather than a bowl they barely put any toppings on since there's not a lot of space for them. And you kind of have to eat the toppings first just to get into the cup... so it's mostly just açaí blend. I've definitely had much better açaí bowls in Atlanta.

Stopped by for a smoothie and it tastes so refreshing! Also the customer service is on point! Everyone is very nice and friendly :)

The best acai in atlanta. I loved that it came in a cup so you can easily walk around with it and it was cute because i could see the layers. The guy at the stand was so nice too so overall great experience.

I made a stop at the cute booth of Selva Sana on my first time at the works and I loved the hospitality of the owner and his workers! He helped me decide on what to get and I ended saying the delicious Açaí Bowl and he even made me try o for the smoothies he was making! I definitely recommend this place for the Healthy options they offer and the excellent service!

My sister ordered a salad here and it was almost inedible. The dressing was only olive oil and there was so much oil on the salad that it did not seem healthy. This is located in Chattahoochee Food Works and seemed like one of the healthy options but the actual food did not appear health conscious unfortunately.

The smoothie I had was good. Pineapple juice base with two pets strawberry and 1 part pineapples. 8.50 for 16 oz and 9.00 for 20 oz. Two stars because of the price. Not worth the money.

We cancelled our order after the lady behind the counter got impatient with our questions (first time trying them as they are relatively new to the hall) and muttered, "Jesus Christ." My daughter then inquired about the register screen having our order already at 29.00. For one, they charge $1.50 for each fruit topping as they only provide the açaí as a base. I had to request it in a bowl instead of a tall cup. The lady was impatient from the start. She approached the entire interaction as if we were speaking a foreign language. Although I digress the only bright spot was that the sole woman who was waiting in line after us to order turned and walked away and stated she wasn't going to patronize a business that was rude to the customers before who. I Stan for solidarity. And while walking to other food stands I noticed that karma didn't have anyone come to patronize them while I witnessed. Never trying them and I hope they change their pricing structure because it's highway robbery and plenty of other places that offer açaí bowls with extras and aren't charged nearly as much as they are attempting to! Oh how I miss South Block in VA!

Best Acia bowls ever! My kids loved it as well! I also had a salad with their signature mango lime dressing that was insane! I will be back for sure!

If you want a healthy yet tasty place to eat in the ATL, this is the spot! From the best açaí in town, to some of the most delicious smoothies and salads made to order. They also offer an array of natural supplements and detox products to help your body heal and recover! Awesome spot!!

The best açaí in Atlanta! its nice to come with your family specially with kids ! I love coming to selva sana !

Horrible service. Will NEVER go back. Asked to pay xtra for a larger container because the açaí bowls actually come in a cup and are hard to eat in that type of container. The guy at the counter was just plain rude and seemed to me as if he did not want to be at work today.

Great healthy options and excellent service! Avocado toast and açaí bowl were outstanding

Can't say enough good about selva sana. Love the smoothies and açaí bowls so much here. Always super fresh ingredients and the team has always been incredibly attentive and friendly. Definitely stopping by again when I'm at the Works!!
