Sarah really held it down today by herself! It's one of the freakish 90+ California days so everyone and their grandparents want to grab an ice cream alternative... since it's hot and a Friday almost all the customers in front of me seemed to have had an attitude. Sarah handled them with tact and poise! The joint is cozy, clean & calm. Acai was delicious! Keep it up! read more

Acai bar - 8oz for refreshment - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

Decent açaí bowls! I do love how fast they were made. We got preset berry bowls & they made them pretty quickly so huge plus on not a long wait! I will say this place is super tiny. It's literally you, the employees & the kitchen right there basically. So very snug up in there. So not a lot of seating inside, one window bar area. There are a couple tables to eat outside but I feel like this is just a grab n go situation. I didn't like that for build your own bowls they only allow 4 free toppings. That's crazy ahah especially from what I'm use to at all my other Acai spots it's unlimited toppings. Even then I didn't see to many options for toppings so eh quick visit, decent bowls but wasn't jammed packed, fruits were good & tasty, no real complaints on the Acai or blue majik itself. Will stick to my other spots especially if you're paying practically the same price but the other spots offer unlimited choice toppings! read more

Acai bar - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

The shop is clean, bright, and easy to order from. I like that you can either build your own bowl or choose one of their signature bowls, so there's something for everyone. They have a good selection of fresh fruit, granola, nut butters, and other toppings, which makes it easy to customize exactly what you're in the mood for. ::Acai:: Everything tasted fresh. The açaí was smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The granola added the perfect crunch, and all the toppings worked well together. It's one of those meals that feels like a treat but still leaves you feeling good afterward. ::Customer Service:: Everyone I interacted with was friendly and welcoming. ::M's Notes:: - Outdoor seating - Street parking read more

Just literally left this place, ordered a protein shake and a strawnana smoothie and boy were they dissatisfying. Paid $20 for a watered down shake & smoothie. It was like i was just drinking MILK out the protein shake.... And the smoothie was just like a juice.... No smoothie or shake texture whatsoever read more

I really wanted to like this spot because of the high reviews but maybe I just came on a bad day. It was empty, and we ordered 2 of the same smoothies, the Acai berry smoothie, since that's what the worker recommended. Took longer than expected but when we got our smoothies, it was more of a juice than a smoothie and didn't satisfy our smoothie craving. Very runny. Limited seating inside, small shop. Will have to try again some other time. read more

My go to acai place even though its a 20 min drive away. The acai is sweet with a smooth consistency and they are certainly generous with the nutella. I like mine with agave. Its a small spot and the workers seem really young but its good. Cute bookstore next door and parking across the street. read more

Other people's açaí bowls was something I could complain about ENDLESSLY. I'm just the worst kind of açaí bowl snob because I make them myself and wanted to open a shop and fix the "bad açaí bowl" problem. I've tried bowls from coffee shops, vegan organic places, farmers markets, and almost every açaí shack from here to Hawaii whose only job was to make one well. Whether the açaí was actually ice cream, or it was soup, or the granola was gross or the fruit sucked- I always had a problem LOL But now, after years I decided to try one of several options in this area. Açaí Bar's pictures looked really good so I super skeptically went for it and WOW, they are delicious!!!! The açaí mix has perfect consistency, the fruits are ripe, the granola is awesome, there's nothing wrong and I bought 4 different bowls for my crew. Now I'm 10% less of an açaí B-word and love my açaí bowls, and Açaí Bar's :)))))))) read more

The Açaí bar is stocked with freshness and many options. The employees are awesome. Very convenient for Altadena and Pasadena community read more

Acai bar - Granola, blueberries and mango.. yummy - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

A few weeks ago my job hosted a staff appreciation day and they had acai bowl stall on-site. It was from Acai Bar with two staffs making custom bowls for everyone. We only had one base flavor which was acai. In the past I never cared for acai bowls but after I had one from here, I was hooked! I also tried acai bowls from different places but never liked them as much as from Acai Bar. I was in the area and stopped by after they opened on a Saturday morning. I managed to find parking in the back but it was difficult since a popular restaurant was located there. The store is also small. There were four customers inside and having more than 6 people in there was already crowded. I chose a custom bowl and mentioned it was my first time at this location. The staff was so nice and gave me a free 5th topping since it was my first time. I chose acai for base, granola, goji berries, strawberry, cacao nibs and honey as my toppings. I do think it's best to eat this right away. They have tables and chairs in front of the store. I took it home, freeze it for a bit and enjoyed it then. I'd love to try other bases next time! read more

Have booked this company 3 times for corporate events and they have been consistently late. First time over an hour late and this last time 45 minutes late. I'm pretty sure they were late the second time, but I can't confirm as another associate oversaw that booking for me. Regardless, we have had to adjust our serving times to accommodate their tardiness. Not to mention the quality of the set-up, product, and service has declined. The bowls are now half the size as they were before but at a rate of 10$ each + taxes. They only sent two people to service 300 people in a two-hour times span. Which has caused a 40-minute wait time. The set-up display looked janky and not the most sanitary. Like the team was peeling bananas still while serving. When I went to check in, they said, "It seems us being late didn't matter because there was no line when we got here." I'm like that's because we had to communicate to everyone that you all were late. When booking them over a month ago, I asked the owner to fill out paperwork for our accounts payable department, which I have yet to receive, even though I was nice enough to pay them in advance. The excuse....they were working Coachella. No worries, we will not be booking again. Lesson learned. read more

Didn't take any pictures but really enjoyed our bowls. We ordered the butter me up bowl and berry me bowl. The butter me up bowl was so good, I ate it so quick. I got the protein shake and loved it so much. My girlfriend got the acai protein shake and said it was okay, she didn't finish it. Said it tastes too much like protein powder. read more

I want to like this place because the drinks can be good when they're made fresh, but the customer service is consistently terrible. This order was placed through DoorDash for pickup and scheduled ahead of time. I arrived about ten minutes after placing the order, and DoorDash already showed it as 'ready.' When I told the employee I had a pickup order, he acted like he knew what I was talking about and started looking around, even checking the fridge. The smoothie hadn't actually been made it had been sitting out. Instead of remaking it properly, he simply added more ice and re-blended it. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the mistake, nothing. The lack of care and professionalism completely ruins the experience. The product might be decent, but the customer service is horrendous. This place seriously needs to do better. read more

Acai bar - Acai Berry Smoothie - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

Most notably, your product is overpriced, from industrial-sized commercially produced tubs (probably purée, a base, and lots of sweeteners). Questionably, the amount advertised is not the amount served. Customer service is very inconsistent, sometimes good, oftentimes subpar if not rude at times. $10+ for a scoop or two of Açaí and a topping or two is, as the kids say, "diabolical". Once again, just seems like another place looking to profit off the exoticization of Brazilian cuisine/appeal. I really wanted to like this place, but the cost is wickedly disproportionate to the product quality and quantity. read more

thank you. i tried this place when they first opened the acai bowl was layered and just AMAZING. but after time you guys fell apart and stopped caring about presentation :( amazing bowls but presentation and sometimes the fruit was bad ( please consider going back to how you guys did the mango back when acai bar first opened ) going today ( thursday @ 4:30/40) just made it amazing !! who ever was working i really appreciate you and consider keeping them forever please!

Always good, but there is literally only one poor girl working there absolutely SLAMMED with orders in this hot weather. Not cool of management to do this. Hire another worker what the heck!?!? I'm literally going to stop coming here because it's sad to watch her try and handle TOO MANY orders for one employee and customers getting frustrated over açaí bowls read more

Fresh and delicious! Small place with outdoor seating and friendly staff. Just what every neighborhood needs.

Awful experience!!! No stars from me, but I'm forced to leave at least one. The protein powder was tossed at the bottom of the bowl, not mixed with anything. Açaí base was watery and tasteless. Nutella was smeared on one side of the bowl. Fruit was cut into large, unmanageable chunks. Just yuck!!!! read more

First impressions are everything, when my partner and I walked in we were welcome my crickets, the two young ladies at the counter were not friendly, and stared at us instead of greeting us ( we went on a Friday) It was out first time here, I tried the "Berry me bowl, unlike the customer service, it did not disappoint. The place is small and maybe max limit per space is 4 people. Probably won't come back. read more

Acai bar - Berry Me Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

I found this spot when we were waiting for our table at the restaurant next door. We had just come back from a hike so something fresh and icy really hit the spot. We got their large to share among our group of 4 and we finished it instantly. Everyone loved the fresh fruit and acai. I especially liked the portions of fruit they gave. Some places are stingy about the amount of toppings, but this placed packed it in for us. Parking can be a bit hard because the lot is small and street parking is usually full. Luckily it is across the street from a market so there's that option. I have been thinking about this place since I got it. Definitely one of my top Acai places to go! read more

After one late afternoon of outdoor pickleball playing, I had craving for an acai berry smoothie. I consulted with Yelp and found Acai Bar. The name of the business has the item I wanted so it must be their specialty. It was only 7 minutes away from where I was at and it was on my way home so I gave it a try. It's a tiny little shop. There is street parking available in front of the shop. It has 3 bar stools inside and a few tables + chairs outside. Staff was friendly and pleasant. I went straight for my $9.00 acai smoothie. I don't know how many ounces it was, but it wasn't 32 oz... much smaller than that. I was the only customer at the time so wait time wasn't very long at all. When I was holding and looking at the smoothie, I was thinking to myself, why does it look watery??? All my prior acai smoothie have thicker consistency at other juice places. Also my drink wasn't filled up to the top... see pic! Anyway, I took my first slurp and sure enough it was very liquidy which was okay, but I felt my drink went faster than I would have liked LOL. It didn't last very long. Two surprising ingredients that I didn't expect to have in my acai smoothie were dates and peanut butter even though they were spelled out as two of the ingredients for that drink LOL. I loved the dates! I wished there were more of them. As for the peanut butter, I can't say I love it, but I don't hate it. I could do without the peanut butter. I felt like I tasted the dates and peanut butter more than the acai berry. Will I be back? I really don't know. It all depends if I am craving a health drink and there's nothing else available within the vicinity. read more

So good. Love their Nature Bowl. Fresh ingredients and delicious Acai base. And those cookies on the counter are amazing!

Açaí reminds me of my years in Brasil and they transported me to the streets of Rio de Janeiro where I would enjoy a bowl as I dreamt about exploring the Vidigal Favela overlooking Ipanema and Copa Cabana (I eventually got permission to film there). With fresh fruit & toppings, unique flavors like Blue Magik and Ube, and rich butters they are a must visit in Pasadena. Take a friend to share bowls so you can try various flavors and grab a smoothie to go. You can also find them at some of Los Angeles' music festival to cool you down. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer read more

I find myself continuing to come back to this place. The açaí is super delicious. The employees were super nice when I explained to them how the business owner had offered me a free açaí bowl due to my previous experience I posted on yelp. Ever since I've been back every time, sanitation is always great and service is really great. Thank you for being so kind and I will continue to be back ! Ambiance is great with outdoor tables. read more

This used to be a regular stop for me, but there were too many health code concerns for me to go back. I saw too many employees touching the register, phone, and even pick something off the floor and then immediately touch food. My final visit was when there was a sick employee coughing without covering their mouth, touching their face, then handling food without washing their hands. I asked for a refund for my order because I was too grossed out, but the staff didn't know how to process a refund. I never did get my refund for my order. read more

I was craving acai after a workout , but with so many Acai places around, it's so hard to decide where to go! My friends and I chose to try Acai Bar instead of going to our usual spots. It was definitely worth trying, but not good enough to get me to come back. The Nature bowl is a 6oz build your own cup with 4 toppings allowed. They have a variety of fruits, nuts, and other toppings. However, compared to their competitors, I found their options for toppings a bit limited. Also their strawberries didn't taste as fresh as other acai places (?) I'm not sure it's been glazed with sugar or maybe just pre-cut and sitting there. The acai itself is good though. The service was a bit slow as there were only two workers and multiple groups were in line. Don't expect to be greeted with friendly faces either, I think they might've just been overwhelmed. Overall, given the plentiful options of acai places in the area and some that offer unlimited toppings for about the same cost and size, I think I'd pass on coming back again. However, if you're in the area and want to get some acai, give them a shot, it's great to support small businesses! read more

Acai bar - Nature bowl (6oz) - Acai Bowls Near Me - Pasadena, California

I really love this place, the açaí bowls are always delicious and worth coming back for! That said, today was the first time I've ever had to wait over 20 minutes for my order. The poor young man working deserves a raise and some help, he was handling everything on his own: the register, phone orders, and making all the bowls. He was clearly doing his best, but understandably got a little frazzled and the order sequence got mixed up (someone who ordered after me got theirs first). This wasn't his fault at all, it's a management issue. On a busy Saturday afternoon, there should definitely be more than one person working. Hopefully, they'll staff better, because the food and service here are usually fantastic! read more

This restaurant is located right next to Millie's which is usually pretty packed so there's not a lot of parking. We parked in the lot across the street and walked over. The inside is very small and only has 3-4 chairs. And patio seating about two tables when it's not raining. The cashier was somewhat helpful and walked us through the menu options. They have unlimited toppings which is great so you're able to get a lot. They have a wide variety of fruit, nuts, toppings, and butters. Some are an extra charge so double check before ordering. They have smoothies and other food items as well. A few iced coffee, matcha lattes, and Nutella lattes. Overall the food was good and we would definitely come back. I only recommend they get more bases so there's a bit of variety. read more

I'm a fan of açaí bar. While their prices have increased over the years, I still love the quality of ingredients they use. I got the energy bowl (8oz) for $12 and got to choose 4 toppings. I opted for almond butter which was a $1 extra. The açaí base is delicious and I love the smooth texture. I'm not sure what type or base they use or if there are any additives, but it's satisfying to eat. The fruits are fresh and it's just a fantastic meal or snack for any time of day. read more

horrible, will not buy again. both matcha smoothies were only two-thirds full and tasted like watered down banana smoothies. my son had to pick them up since employee forgot to give to GrubHub driver. only place I've seen that gives one third less drink than paid for, all other places fill container size. worst açaí bar experience. read more

My fiancée and I really enjoyed this place and were happy to stop by. It is a relatively small little Acai bar but the Acai is tasty and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. You do not get unlimited toppings and the medium size bowl was not filled with as much Acai as other places, which is why it got a 4 instead of a 5, but it was definitely a tasty treat. We will be coming back if we are in the area! read more
