Usually it's good, but I guess today was a off day. I specified no soulnola because my granddaughter can't eat it however it was dropped on top. And it was clumped together at that.

I don't know how Soul Bowls does it but the Stay Classy was "On the Money". The bowl was super fresh with the strawberries and blueberries. It was an acai base and you can tell it wasn't loaded with so much sugar that I've had at Playa Bowls. Even though the granola was homemade or appeared to be. I just felt better eating their bowls because it just felt right knowing the extra sugar that you normal get wasn't going to be there. The coconut flakes on top was also a nice addition to the bowl. The other bowl that I ordered was the Love Butter. The Love Butter was actually sneakily good. It had raspberries, acai base along with chocolate chips and granola on top. I forgot what it's called but they put some sort of butter in there that thick and creamy but taste really good. You won't be disappointed ordering from here and the staff is very welcoming and helpful if it's your first time. I will say that they load your bowl up to the top to the point that it might spill when you open it which I like because I've been to other places and they don't even do that knowing bowls can be pricey but well worth it. Soul Bowls really sets themselves apart. I just wish more people knew about them. Parking is on the side and they have plenty of seats inside. All the best.
