| - After the demise of the Argentinian sandwich shop here, I wondered what business would take the place in this location. I was naturally intrigued when I found out that there would be a smoothie and acai bowl place opening up in its stead. I think this is a great location for acai bowls, since Sprouts is just a few steps away, bringing in the more health-conscious crowd. I went in with high hopes of getting a healthy, fruitful bowl.
There are quite a few bowls to choose from, some of them fruity, others more dessert-like, with peanut butter and chocolate. I opted for a fruitier bowl, getting the tropical. This was my first time trying an acai bowl, and it was quite tasty. The bottom layer was a smooth, thick acai puree/sorbet-like mixture, which tasted berry-like. There was crunchy, sweet granola layered in between the acai and the tropical fruit (Banana, mango, and pineapple), with large, thin shaved pieces of coconut completing the bowl. The granola itself was a high quality mixture, containing ingredients such as flax seed. The bowl was a nice mixture of textures and of tastes. I ordered a small (About $5), and it definitely filled me up!
Service was very friendly, and they offer a points reward system which uses your e-mail to keep track of your purchases. The interior is pretty bare-bones, and it seems like they kept much of the same color scheme as the previous owner.
Definitely a good place to go if you're looking for a healthier alternative to dessert, or if you want a lighter (Yet filling) meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
