SoBol

I always pass by this place and I decided to get some breakfast here this morning. They have a wide selection of smoothies, but I was here for the Acai bowl. The bowl comes in 3 sizes and and a standard selection of toppings - bananas, strawberry, blueberry and granola. You have the option of adding nutella, peanut butter or almond butter, etc. I chose to go with Nutella which was delicious The acai is in a chilled puree form at the bottom the bowl. This location has plenty of seating but most people this morning were ordering acai bowls to go.

So I don’t know who was working there November 2021-March 2022 but I tried this place for the first time ever and every single time I ordered a classic they gave me the “super” size apparently and I assumed THAT was the classic because today I got the classic and they gave me the smaller cup and I was very confused after getting the super size literally over 10 times when ordering a classic… I had walked back and asked them and they told me it was the classic. I’m mostly curious if it happened to other people because my mind is blown at how small it is for how expensive ($16) 😭 always tastes great though 😅💀

Great acai bowl options and quick service. Nice mezzanine level with desks and outlets for work. No wifi, but you can use the neighboring restaurants to get online.

Never had a bad Bowl at SoBol! SoBol is the best. Ingredients are always fresh, servings are plentiful and service is always quick. The storefront is small, but clean and well maintained. The Staff are friendly, which is always a plus. I’ve ordered at the counter and online, from Açaí Bowls to smoothies- every experience has been great. I would highly recommend!

I had never had an acai bowl before this, but it was honestly amazing. It tasted better than ice cream! I was blown away by how delicious it was. I got the kid size, which was almost too filling for me. I added peanut butter, which was a slam dunk. Still can't believe how tasty this was. 100% recommend!

Had an amazing bowl at SoBol! This was the first acai bowl I’ve had in Philly, and I’m not sure it will be topped. The prices are very affordable for an acai bowl and the friendly staff gave us a generous amount of açai and toppings that were all delicious. I will be back!

This is one of Rittenhouses best kept secrets. This is a business based out of Long Island New York, they serve acai bowls and pitaya bowls, smoothies, coffee and more. The bowls are delicious and always made fresh with your own choice of toppings.. Try the cookie butter topping it is heavenly! If you are on a health food kick, love fruit, or just want a healthy filling snack, this is your place! I am hooked!

best açaí bowl I’ve ever had and super cute place!

Originally walked to Pressed Juicery, but due to construction, they didn't have acai bowls. Came to Sobol and had a mango pineapple bowl. There was only one man working. He took the orders and made the orders and was very nice. It was not busy at all, so I got my order fast. The fruit was nice and fresh, but the smoothie part was still partially frozen/icey. He didn't think the credit card machine should take, so I paid cash, but he was able to email me a receipt, so I was very appreciative of that. It's a very small, quaint place but it's a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of downtown Philly. They have a variety of bowls and smoothies I definitely recommend you check this place out.

Easy online ordering process, delicious açaí bowls, and lots of customizations make this SoBol a winner in my book. I haven't tried a ton of the bowl-style chains in the area as I tend to make fairly delish smoothies and bowls from home when the craving hits, but grabbing lunch delivery totally hit the spot. I appreciate the use of agave in their standard açaí bowl - perfect amount for a not-overly-sweet experience. You can add all kinds of things like peanut butter, fruit, etc, but keeping the classic as is was fabulous. I appreciated the speedy delivery and the fact that my bowl was still frozen perfection upon arrival to my home. I imagine they do a great large order service as well in the event you're looking to mix up your office lunch or breakfast. Will order again!

It's hard to assign stars. My açai bowl was very good and reasonably priced. However, that day, the credit card machine was not working and it was cash only. I went back two days later, and the restaurant was closed due to "lack of supplies."I went to playa Bowls instead, which is also very good.

Staff was very kind and helped me out to order what I wanted. There was an issue with their register, but they handled it politely and professionally. I was able to get the smoothie I wanted within the timeframe I needed. Will be returning! Thanks staff :-)

How much do I love a good açaí bowl??? SO MUCH. This place was across the street from our hotel and I couldn't get enough. I got the original açaí bowl with peanut butter instead of honey. Regular size was HUGE. If I was local I would split it and save the other half for tomorrow's breakfast. I see complaints about the price, but honestly I felt like it was worth it for the location and quality of the food. I wish I had a spot like this near me cause I would eat there all the time!

Consistently better than playa bowl by FAR, more reasonably priced (with Even a kids bowl sized option. Want to know why it only gets 2 stars ? Because the owners must not treat the employees well . Wanna know how I know that ? Literally every employee I've ever been waited on here --is miserable --it is literally like there is a cloud of negative energy hanging over this place that I can't wait to Get my yummy bowl --and get the hell out of dodge . And it's now made worse by the fact that there is no music playing . Whenever this kind of pâlor hangs over a place of business , I know enough about working in the food service industry , I've learned to look to ownership or management . There is no way this many people are this down and I try to be extra nice just to cheer them up . Owner : pay these people better , or whatever you need to do , but take a look at why your employees are so glum --in the mirror preferably

We got the classic açaí and green smoothie. Granola in the açaí was delicious but the açaí part was just very okay. I'd rate it 3.5/5. The green smoothie was $10 and not worth a penny. It was small and just tasted like bananas and almond milk and had a strange aftertaste. There was also a tense atmosphere when we walked in.. the cashier seemed angry and it felt super awkward waiting for our order. Would not visit again.

Smoothie wise...5 stars. Decor wise...5 stars. Location...5 stars (for me. It's walking distance from the planet fitness) So you're probably wondering why the 4 stars...the people working did NOT look happy to be there and to me that makes a difference. Additionally, I would've expected more add-ins for a smoothie spot (at least spiralina and maca powder). But anyway, this place was very cute and I was allowed to customize my smoothie, so that was appreciated. My super green smoothie was actually very good. My friend's pitaya plus was pretty good as well. While visiting Philly, this definitely did the trick when looking for a solid smoothie before I started my day.

I have not visited SoBol in a while and decided to go yesterday. I ordered a regular Pitaya. Edith was there and has such great positive energy. She is a true multi-tasker that likes to communicate/stay engaged with the customers while you wait. There are social distance signs on the floor and masks are required. Cash in not accepted. My Pitaya bowl consisted of pineapple, mango and kiwi. The regular size was two servings for me. SoBol was a great way to start my morning with great customer service and energy from Edith and a yummy açaí bowl.

tl;dr a light and refreshing option for breakfast, lunch, and dessert, albeit at a premium price The açaí craze has swept the nation, as more and more people become hooked on fad diets featuring "superfoods." Somewhat a cross between a blueberry and a blackberry, the taste and consistency of açaí makes for a perfect addition to smoothies and frozen desserts. And SoBol has capitalized on the frenzy, opening up a Rittenhouse joint just dedicated to this. The bi-leveled space sports minimalistic, off-white walls, lined from below with whitewashed driftwood trimmings. The light wooden tables are accented with black finishes and metal stools. Black-and-white shoreline photos adorn the walls, complemented by ship-like lighting fixtures and mini surfboards to complete the beach house aesthetic. The menu is chalked onto a board, supplemented with caloric information and a wide assortment additional topping options. This past visit, I joined a few friends for a late lunch, and we all opted for SoBol's classic açaí bowl. Layers of granola and blended açaí were topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and banana. The culmination was a refreshing, sweet treat, sure to hit the spot on a hot and humid summer day. Service seemed spotty -- several employees were chilling out and talking amongst each other rather than helping the sole woman who was painstakingly making each bowl. Moreover, the bowl is on the pricey side, sitting at $8.50 for their regular size (and $14 for Big Gulp-esque "Super"). To be fair, this is about what I've come to expect for Rittenhouse fast-casual. That being said, I can't help thinking that I could simply buy a bag of frozen açaí from Trader Joe's to make my own bowl, but I suppose you're paying for the service. But don't expect it to hold you over for the day. The bowl is intentionally light and consists of almost straight carbs, and I was craving something else to eat before my day was through. As such, I consider this more of a niche dessert spot that a legitimate restaurant.

Simply the best! I'm pretty sure I've tried every açaí bowl in the greater Philadelphia area and this one comes out on top. The base is so delicious and they've never killed a bitch by accidentally adding bananas like so many other places. The cookie butter is to die for...it basically tastes like liquified teddy grahams. It's a great addition to a bowl along with perhaps some Nutella and chocolate chips. I think one of the keys to a great bowl is great granola and Sobol gets it right. The granola always maintains it's crunchy integrity and every bite is a delicious little surprise. I just wish it was easier to access but for now the only times I'm willing to enjoy Sobol is when I pay $30 on Uber eats. But I'll continue to treat myself every so often because nothing else comes close!

I always wanted to try an açaí bowl since I am a huge fan of fruit based deserts and drinks. I thought it was a great opportunity to use the ritual app to get a discounted açaí bowl at SoBol. I actually really enjoyed my bowl because mine was made with a great proportion of fruit, granola, and the açaí blend. I don't have any complaints about how it tasted or the ingredients used. I do feel like the portion is small for the how much you pay. For me it is quite overpriced so I only see myself coming back if there are any discounts

This was a healthy way to kick the day off near our hotel on Market Street in downtown Philly. We popped in twice during our three day visit and I especially enjoyed the green smoothie bowl filled with kale, spinach and banana topped with mango, strawberries and granola. My addition of the almond butter dollop took it to the next level (so good). It seemed like the bowl could use a little more banana in the puree/smoothie portion to help offset the frozen/not creamy texture. In addition to smoothie bowls they offer a fairly extensive menu of smoothies. It seemed that most of the customers I encountered were there for the smoothie acai bowls. The staff was friendly enough and the space offers a hand full of seats in the lower and upper portion of the space. Note that outlets are hard to come by so its not the most ideal spot to work for a few hours with a laptop. If you're staying in a hotel and have to roll out early in the morning, they're also willing to pack up your smoothie bowl toppings separately so it'll keep overnight.

I have been consistently disappointed with this location. The first time I went here, they were only serving açaí bowls due to the supposed blender not working (why a smoothie/açaí bowl store only has 1 blender is beyond me). My second attempt, I ordered 2 generic smoothies. There was no line and multiple employees in the kitchen/prep area and somehow it took 25+ minutes for these 2 smoothies to be made. Again, with no line and no other smoothies being prepped for online orders/etc. My third and final attempt, the stores card reader wasn't working and they were only accepting cash. Meanwhile, the staff in each of these 3 interactions were cold/withdrawn, and it was evident they would rather be anywhere else. I understand technological issues happen but I can't help but notice an unsavory trend of poor customer service and less than ideal timeliness.

Not the best bowls but decent Positives -fruit is great quality -good flavors (sans honey-would be too sweet With honey!) Negatives -WAY too much granola as a lot of reviews note. Ratio is not good. -prices are high for the quantity -unfriendly employees

I've been trying to find a acai bowl place and happy I have found some places in Philly. SoBol is alright. Their acai base is a good consistency, not too watery and not too icy. I think that they're a bit too skimpy with their fruits/toppings.They also give a lot of granola which kind of hinders away from the acai on the top and bottom. To top off my experience here, I placed an order on Ritual this morning and the app had notified me that the order would be ready in 5 minutes. I got there 10 minutes later and did not see my order. The cashier was talking on his iPhone and saw me waiting and then walked away from the cashier to finish his call while other customers walked in. Someone else eventually helped me and had mentioned that I should have said something since my order was not there; but you know.... I couldn't lol. Very bad initial customer service.

Was craving a pitaya bowl this morning. This is one of the few places that has pitaya and acai bowls in the city. I added peanut butter, nutella, and strawberries to mine. OMG. Delicious. Cute little place with some upstairs seating. Seems like the staff already have regulars and know their orders. They put my bowl in a large container so it wasn't spilling over the sides when I brought it home! I use PitayPlus at home to make my own bowls and smoothies. However, to buy all the fruit and things to go in here, it just wouldnt be worth it. This is why I don't mind spending $8-15 on this. It is healthy, full of fiber and good fats and really hits the spot for my sweet cravings!

My first açaí bowl. They give out samples during lunch time. Very friendly and helpful staff. I asked for a sample of the pitaya and they gave it to me and my friend. Pitaya is sweeter than açaí. There are displays of how a bowl looks like. Basically it's a layer of granola, acai, granola, topped with banana, blueberry, strawberry, and coconut. You can add more toppings to which cost $1.25 each. I don't think it's worth it. You can get only a dollop of the nut butter or cookie butter. It's really refreshing and perfect sweetness. It comes in 3 sizes: kids, regular, and super. They sell granola and granola bars too. They also have loyalty card. Definitely a great dessert spot. Plenty of seatings including the upstairs

Eh, not sure how I feel about this place. The bowl is very delicious. But at $6-7 for a kid size, and $9-10 for regular, I can't justify spending that much money on something where I could still eat another whole meal afterwards. You can get the jumbo size, for $14-15, but now that exceeds my lunch budget for a meal that is really suited better for a healthy breakfast. Other reviews mentioned there was too much granola in their bowls, i think they read the reviews and fixed that, because I didn't have that problem. My kid-size bowl was not overloaded with granola. Overall great tasting açaí. Minus one star for high prices compared to portion size (maybe offer a frequent buyer card, or local worker discount like the prior tenant Melt Kraft did), and minus another star for limited menu options (recommend some more filling lunch options like kale or veggies or tofu). I might try this again for breakfast, and the coffee was good, but I wouldn't come back for lunch.. I need something more hearty.

A tad disappointed. I'm a big fan of these type of fruit bowls, but this place falls short. They need to call these granola bowls instead of açaí or pitaya. As you can see from my photos, there's tons and tons of granola. I tried scooping out most of it, but it didn't help and I lost more than half my dessert. I ordered myself the pitaya bowl and the pitaya blend was actually pretty tasty (from the little that I did get). The mangos were a tad on the tangy side (which I kinda like since I like raw mangos) but the kiwi was not close to being ripe and was quite hard. Highly doubt I would be back. It's extremely pricey for a bowl of granola.

Overall pretty disappointed in SoBol but I will highlight their pros and cons.They do a great job at marketing their products on social media and it honestly looks just as great in person as it does on the web. Interior: very cozy and gives off a modern/ hip vibe. It's a perfect spot to fill your sweet tooth craving but stay on the healthy (ish) track. Honestly the menu is way too complicated. The huge wall that they have which breaks everything down is pretty confusing. As for the taste the acai bowl has a lots of fruit which are tasty and delicious. I'm not sure why they offer huge buckets of their products because I thought even the kids size was too much for me and did not end up finish it (but if you are crazy about acai and pitaya bowls then you will like it ). Overall I think it's too overpriced, tastes okay (nothing fancy) and I can make something better and cheaper at home.

This cute and tiny little shop is perfect for açaí bowls! They offer fresh ingredients and give your money's worth. They pack the bowls but trust me, you will love every bite. The place is small but they do have seating downstairs and upstairs as well! I order their açaí bowl because I prefer them over the pitaya bowls. Their açaí bowl was not too sweet or too acidic which I loved. Everything paired nicely together, and it was the perfect amount of flavor. They offer many different options to chose from which makes it hard to order, but overall everything I have had here is amazing. So far this is my favorite spot to get an açaí bowl, and I am curious to try other places to compare them! If you are in the area, then I suggest giving this place a try because it is amazing!

I really enjoyed my first açaí bowl at SoBol. The shop is small, but there's still places to sit downstairs and upstairs. I also appreciate their hours! They're open pretty late and every day of the week! I ordered a pitaya bowl, which has kiwi and mango. The smoothie portion is made from dragon fruit. I ordered a regular size, but I love how they have a kid size if I wanted it as a snack instead of a meal. They also have a super size bowl, which is huge, and several smoothie options. It is a little on the pricier side, but I expected that since I was ordering an açaí bowl. I will definitely be back!

What I was looking for - - a good solid smoothie place with friendly service and some interesting food selections. I will be back.

Very tasty smoothie I ordered kids pitaya bowl , filling for me and tasty fruits. Nice location Clean place Affordable & healthy food

Cute lil açaí bowl joint. I love all the different sized portions you can order. We got a lil baby açaí bowl and pitaya bowl. They were the perfect pick me up before brunch. Packed with fiber to get your engine revving! Honestly I am not a big fan of açaí bowls, I prefer parfaits

Visited on a Saturday evening. I was craving something sweet and decided to satisfy it with a smoothie. Definitely a great decision. I'm now a fan of SoBol - after wanting to try it out for sometime now. After great deliberation, I settled on the Açaí Smoothie, glad I did... it was exactly what I needed! Sweet, filling yet not heavy on the stomach. However, the price point is ridiculous (about $8-10 for a normal size cup). I recommend trying out SoBol, but will admit you can find smoothies just as great at a lower price point.

Best smoothies in town. Fast service. Employees are happy to be there and explain the menu or offer additional options/substitutions. We go 1-2 times a week, at least!

I never truly know how healthy acai bowls are so I get them rather infrequently. However when I do, I come to this place. They do them really well- always a nice balance of fruit and other toppings. My favorite is the Pitaya bowl but I opt for bananas instead of pineapples. Very refreshing and what I don't finish I put in the fridge for later and consistency is still great.

Not much to say other than this place is just okay... I've been to a few Acai bowl establishments and this place will not be at the top of my list. The people working we're friendly but the bowl I got was lacking. I got minimal Acai, lots of granola, a glop of PB, and whatever other stuff they put on top. I felt the proportion of ingredients was not right and the presentation was sloppy. You can also see this in how messy the smoothie is. Worth checking it out but there are better places. :-)

One of the better acai bowls! I'm not sure how, but after a but of this, it is decidedly better than the other ones I've had - it may be the succulent fresh fruit, the homemade granola, or the drizzle of honey, but man that is one great acai bowl! P.S. Get the almond butter as additional topping and thank me later.

Cute little shop. I had an Acai bowl which was pretty good. I'd visit again if I was in the area.

I've been a little obsessed with açaí bowls lately. OKAY, a lot obsessed. I was determined to try all the places around my apartment to find the best one. SoBol was very disappointing. When I pay the extra fee for nutella or peanut butter, I kind of want more than a dollop. Their variety of bowls are also very few. Sadly to say this place is not my fav.

I ordered takeout from here via the Ritual app, and it was great! My order was ready to go as soon as I got in and the açaí bowl was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place if you're into smoothie bowls!

I came across this place while looking for something to tide me over in that late-mid-afternoon, too-early-for-dinner time. SoBol was okay, though I now wish I had kept walking and gone to a potentially better spot. I got the acai smoothie, and the taste was almost on the bland side, which is kind of odd for a smoothie. This would be fine if I were the one making a smoothie, or if I was going to a place where smoothies and bowls were NOT the specialty. But - especially since I paid around $8 (w/tax) for this smoothie - I expected better taste and flavor. Again, nothing was wrong, and it was fine - but it wasn't anything spectacular, and if I'm in the area again, I'll probably grab a snack elsewhere.

Best acai bowl in Philly. The regular sized bowl is very large and packed with fresh fruit. I added almond butter to my bowl for some added protein. Ended up being the perfect breakfast bowl to start my day off right. There's more fruit in their bowls compared to other places in the city. Sobol is also more reasonably priced compared to other restaurants that offer acai nearby. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I'm also obsessed with the wood cut out of a map of Philly hanging up on the wall with "Rittenhouse" painted over it. I have a feeling I will become a regular here!

This place is great for a refreshing açaí bowl during the warmer months. Fruit is fresh and the added sweetness of honey drizzled on top is a nice touch. I also tried the pitaya bowl but I think the açaí tastes better. Also, it's a little pricey but it's a pretty big serving for the regular size. The small one is just if you have a little sweet tooth craving. The small one won't fill you up.

I'm teetering around 3.5 stars but I'll put 4 since it's opening week. SoBol offers several acai/smoothie bowl flavors in three sizes as well as smoothies and coffee. The original acai bowl comes topped with their housemade granola (which they sell on the side if you love it), strawberries, bananas, blueberries and shredded coconut and honey. They offer "specialty toppings" like hemp seeds, chia seeds, and more tropical fruit but they cost extra. I should preface saying I've spent a lot of time in Hawaii and Cali where there are acai bowls all around and my critique might be a bit picky, especially since there's probably a total of 3 acai spots in Philly. By no means was the bowl bad, I just think it could use a tweaking to become amazing! IMO 50% of the bowl was super sweet granola, 25% fresh fruit/toppings and 25% was actually acai, and there was just a couple drops of honey on top. I'd prefer much less granola cause at some point I'm just eating granola with chopped up fruit. The service was nice but really slow. I will just credit that to opening week until they get the kinks out. The atmosphere is really quite cute. It's relatively small but they have window seating, a medium sized communal table, and two small tables upstairs. I would definitely come back again if I was with friends.

I absolutely love this place! I'm a creature of habit, so I've only had the açaí bowl (with mango instead of banana) and the sunshine bowl. Both are incredibly delicious. I get one probably 4 times a week. The staff are always kind and the store is always super clean. If you're interested in trying a different flavor they'll give you a sample and are knowledgeable about the menu.

Looking for a healthier alternative for brunch, I came here with my partner. He came along to indulge me and absolutely fell in love with the acai bowl with peanut butter. Now he insists SoBol is a mandatory stop after exercising in center city. It's a bit pricey, but really tasty. And splitting the largest size is a better value than ordering separately.

(3.5) Was excited to see an Açaí bowl shop open up near me. Overall it's an okay-ish bowl but nothing spectacular and they are still working out some kinks with the service as they've only been open for two weeks now (as of April 2018) For sure good enough for me to come back and satisfy a craving and I look forward to seeing them improve. I will caveat this by saying I lived in CA for several years and went through a bit of an açaí freak phase so I've tried A LOT of bowls and smoothies. Philly isn't know for having the greatest options (or tropical weather). The standard bowl comes with 1-2 layers of granola, açaí purée, fresh fruit and a honey drizzle. At $6 for a small (which they call "kids") and ~$9 for a regular, the pricing is fair. The purée itself I found lacking in flavor but the granola was fantastic (and made in house). I also like the fact that the bowl isn't cloyingly sweet like many places that add copious amounts of honey or sweet toppings. My biggest critique would be that the bowls are served in plastic takeout containers - the same kind you would get if you ordered pasta salad from a deli counter. Get some nice, custom bowls and charge me an extra $1!!! With açaí bowls appearance is everything and this felt bizarre.

A personal favorite breakfast or lunch in University City. I particularly enjoy the classic acai bowl with almond butter and cacao nib add-ons. Service is relatively quick too, especially if you order online for pickup. Granola quantity and distribution are definitely a highlight- each bite has a lil' crunch. Great morning or mid-day healthy pick-me-up!

Its nice to see the healthy food trend picking up in Philly. The acai bowls here are great for a mod day lite meal. Plenty of add-ons and options when building your bowl. Would be nice to see more varieties (kale!) as well as something other than soy or almond milk. Unfortunately wont be back here until they replace the almond milk with hemp milk!

I don't really divulge into the hot food trends, but I've always been intrigued by the whole smoothie bowl thing, so I decided to check out Sobol since it's not too far from my job. Walking in I can tell you that they manage the line flow pretty well, but it's easy to tell that the staff haven't exactly developed a cool head yet (read: easily flustered). As many have pointed out, it's pretty expensive. I got a kid's pitaya bowl sans coconut (they asked if it was by preference or allergy, which was impressive!) and it came out to $7. Now don't get me wrong, quality fruit like what I got in my bowl is hard to come by, but there's so much granola that it almost seems like they're cutting corners. This business is young, so I'll have to come back once they've landed on their feet.

Passed it by couple times and finally get to try it today. Just because i was in hurry, so i ordered green smoothie instead of acai bowl. I was kinda surprised with the price, paid almost $8 for the smoothie. Place? Very nice, modern, and clean. Taste? It was good, but i still feel it a bit overpriced. I might be back to try kids acai bowl, only because my curiosity. Lol

My friends and I were craving Acai bowls so decided to come here. We all got the regular Acai bowls which was very good. We enjoyed them and were exactly what we needed. My only suggestion is that they would have different pre-set acai bowl options as opposed to paying for add ons.

So...I've already come here at least 10 times in the past month. To say I love these acai bowls would be an understatement. I basically crave them on a daily basis. They taste great and the fruit is fresh and always perfect looking (never too ripe). There is always a good amount of granola in the bowl which I love! The staff is very caring as well, Dominic remembered me after my second visit and has always stirred up conversation and makes sure i'm happy with every bowl. It's a good portion and the price is decent considering we're in center city. I keep coming back and probably won't stop. One drawback is that if you opt out of a topping that comes with a bowl, you still have to pay for a replacement topping which doesn't make sense to me. Quick tip - they have loyalty cards so be sure to ask for one!

The Açaí bowls are very overpriced. I paid 9 dollars for a regular sized and very average tasting bowl. Plus, they really piled on the granola so I felt kind of like I got ripped off. The cashier and the others behind the counter were not very friendly or welcoming. Seemed like they wanted to be anywhere else but there. Also they won't substitute any of the ingredients in the bowls. My sister asked if she could get a different smoothie as her base and they said she couldn't which is unlike similar smoothie/açaí bowl places I've been to before. Overall the place wasn't terrible, but it definitely falls short of the bar that restaurants with a similar menu have set. If you have the option to go somewhere else I would. The additional star is for the great location and clean/ aesthetically pleasing interior design.

The first time I went to SoBol I was really impressed so I came back to get a larger sized green bowl for breakfast. The bowls come at a decent price, about $10 but I was happy to pay it for something I had enjoyed. Upon eating my bowl, I realized something was off. Taking a deeper look, none of the toppings on my bowl are typically what you'd find in a green bowl. Instead of berries and coconut, I got some blend of pineapple and kiwi? Also, the smoothie texture is basically ice. For what I paid, really not impressed.

SoBol is a very cute spot that serves smoothies and smoothie bowls. I used the Ritual app and picked up the açaí bowl. It was very enjoyable and definitely hits the spot if you're looking for something refreshing. The bowl is topped off with banana slices, shredded coconut, blueberries, and strawberries. All the fruit tasted really fresh. My complaint would have to be the portion size. I think the size of the bowl was really small compared to what I thought it would be based on the price.
