Not for me. They don’t use fruit in their smoothies. It’s pumps of fruit syrup from containers sitting on the counter mixed with ice. Tastes way too artificial. Didn’t finish it. Service was great though.

This place is my absolute favorite açaí place. Beach city bowl with mangoes that are never too dry and perfectly ripe. Good portions, fair price, best spot in San Diego

I have gone to another establishment in Carlsbad that serves acai bowls, and they are so delicious. I did not go there because I wanted to go somewhere that was walking distance from where I was. I bought the pitaya bowl. The staff was very nice, but the bowl was very basic with ingredients that were nothing special. I also never understand when these smoothie places, which are supposed to be healthy, serve peanut butter that is unnatural. Maybe if I hadn't experienced the other place then I would feel differently, but this bowl left me feeling disappointed.

Thank you. We take our bowls seriously, probably too seriously, but this review tells us it’s working :)
