    Layers of Paradise
    Kathy T.

    I visited their soft opening awhile back and it was so good! I love the location, you can easily get an açaí bowl or drink and walk along the beach. I tried their Cali Bowl which was solid, can't go wrong with the flavors and toppings. What makes this place really stand out is their Layers of Paradise drink!! The creamy passion fruit layer is not like anything I've ever tried before and it added such a nice flavor/texture to your average açaí. Definitely a must try for this place!

    Just was walking around and wanted maybe something to drink or eat and I saw this little stuff. As soon as I got in I was greeted by 2 nice employees. They seemed super friendly and they were very happy. The inside has a bit of seating and was pretty open. Menu was pretty simple and straightforward. I did however did order through the kiosk I can tell it was made with fresh fruit and wasn't too sweet. Which I thought was well balanced. Not sure if they added the honey as I requested it cuz it wasn't sweet but even if they didn't I believe it was good. Maybe I'll come again to try the other smoothies but no complaints so far :)))

    Build your own bowl

    Love this place!! I had passed by a few times when samples were being given out--so good, I had to come back! I've been on the hunt for an açaí spot that uses pure açaí and lets you build your own bowl... and I finally found my new go-to. Everything was fresh, delicious, and exactly what I was looking for. PS: Don't sleep on their pastries--I grabbed one of each the second time I came in, and they were all delicious! -Pitaya smoothie also SO delicious and refreshing! The staff is super kind and friendly--thank you so much for the great experience!!

    The Cali Bowl

    Victor did an amazing job! Will definitely be coming back! Had no idea what to order and he walked me through everything

    Tahiti and Cali Smoothie

    Tahiti Açaí bowl with pineapple Mango topping

    From the moment I walked in I felt the authenticity of this place. Randy the manager is super friendly, the acai bowl was my favorite part - got the Tahiti and a banana bread slice. Love the Brazilian music in this the background- WELCOME TO Main st!

    Acai

    We got a smoothie and cheese bread but we also received a free mini açaí bowl for my 2 year old. The smoothie was delicious and the cheese bread (gluten free) was crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. My daughter loved the açaí bowl so much I bought her a full size afterwards. Service was great and the seating area was clean and comfy.

    this place is AMAZING! i was visiting my dad from out of town and he recommended this place to me. amazing bowls.

The full-on churrasco experience is the only thing you should be preparing for here, although I've ordered takeout via DoorDash/Uber Eats as well when I've needed to hit my craving for picanha (it's surprisingly good even after delivery). The service has been strong and there's always someone coming by to offer you cuts, though don't be caught just waiting for the cuts of meat you want - they are more than happy to take your order for the meats you're waiting for. Some make the mistake of just simply sitting quiet and waiting until the desired cut comes around - don't be shy! If you enjoy a drink with your meal, treat yourself to a caipirinha while you're here - they're sweet, strong and done well. I save room in my stomach for this place when I go. Save a second stomach for dessert, because they have a huge selection of presentable desserts to match the meats too!

At first, I wasn't sure whether I would like it because I can be a little nervous about trying new places, especially if I've never heard of them before. But my husband reassured me that the food looked good, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt fancy without being over the top. The staff seated us right away and explained how everything worked. I chose the salad bar option, while my husband went with the full meat option. As soon as I tasted the food, I was immediately sold. The rice, beans, and mushrooms were all cooked perfectly. Everything had great flavor and the right amount of salt. Their salads were so good, and they had an endless supply of delicious cheeses and olive oil. They also served one of my favorite coffee brands, Lavazza, which made me very happy. On top of that, they brought out some amazing appetizers, including fries, cheesy bread, and plantains. The only downside is that the restaurant does not allow you to take food to go. I was honestly bummed because this is one of those places where the food is so good that you want to take some home and enjoy it later. Still, I absolutely fell in love with this place and always try to visit whenever possible.

    What an amazing restaurant! This restaurant is an experience. If you want more than good food,…read moreplease go and try it out. This is what I would consider a special occasion restaurant. First it is pricey. Might want to consider purchasing restaurant gift cards at Costco at Bella Terra. They offer $79.99 for $100 worth of gift cards sometimes. Grab it. There's the Market Table with salads, breakfast options(brunch), cheeses, soup, breads. The servers walk around with the prime meat options if you select the "Full Churrasco" experience and there's the "ultimate experience with dessert added. Be sure to read the menu to select your offerings. We opted for brunch Full Churrasco and got to try the lamb, pork, beef, chicken specialties. Our bellies were content after this experience. The restaurant is also beautifully designed and an elegance about the space. Servers were friendly and attentive. We were quite happy to celebrate our anniversary here.

I was expecting more considering they market themselves as a more high class $$$ restaurant. Our empanadas were the last dishes to come out and took long after we had already finished everything else and tasted like they had been sitting out, our waters were left empty for awhile, and our waiter had an attitude when we ordered more, interrupting us and being rude instead of asking politely for us to repeat ourselves. We were a big party that was sat in a corner with little attention, and it almost seemed like they treated as such because we were there for the happy hour. Overall, just disappointed and wish it was a more pleasant experience.

    A great alternative to Porto's!…read more I bought a wide variety of empanadas here, including the breakfast and burrito flavors, and they were all incredibly savory and delicious. You have the option to buy them frozen to save for later, but they honestly taste best when you eat them fresh right at the bakery. A quick tip if you order online: Make sure to go straight to the front and let one of the many employees know you are there for a pickup. They only call out names for in-person orders, so you'll be waiting a while if you don't speak up! I also tried their new seasonal sandwich--the pulled pork melt and the very popular nonseasonal sandwich crispy chicken sandwich. Both were very filling and packed with flavor. Just make sure to eat these fresh, as they will likely get soggy if you try to save them for later. They have a great selection of desserts and coffee drinks that I didn't have room for this time, but I'll definitely be saving those for my next trip to Long Beach. If you're looking to try something a little different from the usual spots like Porto's, I highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be returning to try more flavors!

    My partner and I visited OBRA HandBakery for brunch after our marathon and this was a solid choice…read more It's quite the small shop with seating on the counter and 3 tables on their outside patio area. Parking - Free in a shared large parking lot, plentiful We were both intrigued by their potato balls, empanadas, and breakfast burrito in which we ordered 4 potato balls (2 chicken/2 beef), 2 empanadas (1 chicken, 1 beef), and 1 breakfast burrito to share. Our order came out in about 10 minutes or so, not too busy. Total came out to about $42 which is quite expensive for the amount of items in my opinion. 1. Potato Balls - By far my favorite menu items from the visit, they weren't as crispy/crunchy as Portos but they're bigger. Portions are big and it's filled with your choice of filling, very delicious, highly recommend 9/10 2. Empanadas - Usually I love empanadas but these were a bit disappointing on my end. They were softer than empanadas that I usually have, although delicious still but definitely not my favorite from the bakery. 6.5/10 3. Breakfast Burrito - Talk about portions, this breakfast burrito is loaded with ingredients, eggs among many other ingredients, super flavorful and savory. It does have a bit of a kick to it which adds to the taste, pretty good! 8.5/10 Overall, a solid brunch spot, although a bit expensive, it's still worth to check them out. Pretty decent tasting potato balls, breakfast burrito is big in portion and delicious as well, along with their empanadas which can be a hit or miss depending on the style of empanadas you like. Definitely a good spot for a snack even if you're in the area.
