Being from Southern California, maybe I'm a little spoiled in these types of food but I had much higher expectations in Original ChopShop Co.
My boyfriend and I came here for breakfast before heading back on our road trip to our home state. We came around 10:30 AM on a Sunday morning and it was relatively empty and easy to find parking. I ordered a traditional acai bowl and cucumber pressed juice while he had a yam, egg, and wheat tortilla plate.
Overall thoughts - I had a few samples of his plate and it was a solid 3 out of 5. There was flavor lacking and although the food tasted fresh, it wasn't particularly finish your plate delicious.
As for my juice, it was the same - about average and and my acai bowl deserved a 2/5 rating. Instead of agave I would really have preferred organic honey instead as the acai they had here was not sweet enough to stand on its own and there was far too much granola in mine and the banana was too soft. I still am heavily biased in thinking Orange County and Los Angeles have the BEST acai bowls in the country.
Although prices are pretty average and the decor is cute, I don't think I'd want to come back whenever we make it back out here.
