    Takes over 30 min since placing order in their app to get the order.
    Jenn S.

    2nd update - The owner confronted me about this review. It's unfortunate when business owners can't take feedback though and I was honestly shocked that after waiting more than 30 minutes for an order I placed in advance that this guy went on the offensive to ask if I was happy to hurt small businesses. I told him I am not trying to hurt any businesses but reviews are only as good as they are honest. He told me that he's had people wait for an hour without complaining. Sir, WHY is anyone WAITING 60 minutes for smoothie bowls? He said it was because they had 8 orders. I suggested he hire another worker because that's way too long to wait for smoothies and bowls. Update - spoke to the worker who appears to be the owner who said they had a lot of DoorDash orders ahead of me. I saw two customers. Now I think it's better to order through DoorDash because this business seems to prioritize those orders rather than through their native app likely because DoorDash tracks the amount of time it takes for each order to complete and be ready for pickup. At this point I just wanted a refund but he said it was already nearly done so... ----- Açaí bowls and smoothie spots - they're so many that exist but so few that check all the boxes. Sadly, this is not one of them. The good: Fresh ingredients, diverse and healthy combinations for açaí bowls and smoothies The bad: Slowwwww. Even if you order on the app, they'll be behind by 20+ minutes from the stated time for pickup. Literally heard him tell two customers to order on the app next time but what's the point if it takes them 30+ min to complete an app order?. It's 3:56pm. The order was placed at 3:31pm. And as you can see in the photo, the order is still pending (not completed) and I'm sitting here waiting. The ugly: Service. Not sure why the workers are always disgruntled here. The first time it happened I figured it was a random occurrence although I didn't come back for a while. Now I'm pretty sure they don't care about customer service - which is fine for some people but for me, it's a bummer. All in all - order far in advance on DoorDash because the Bowlista app, which works well, doesn't actually seem like it's an app for ordering ahead. Tip after you get your order. Sip and enjoy.

    Almond Butter Bliss Bowl + Coffee Mocha Crunch Bowl
    Gretchen M.

    We preordered two large bowls. The coffee mocha and almond nut butter were delish as usual and ready on time. We love the new patio tables and crystal accents and cute chakra bracelets that are for sale for only $7. Love the expanded menu with the many avocado toast options. The coffee is really good also and prefer local options to the big chain coffee houses. A perfect healthy start for our Holiday morning! The service was prompt and courteous as well. Thanks, Bowlista!

    I travel to this area for work a few times a year and always look forward to going here. This place has ruined other acai bowls for me. They consistently make picture perfect delicious bowls with the freshest ingredients. It doesn't matter which of staff makes the bowl they are always top quality. With the price of dining out these days Bowlista still delivers good value, even if it is not inexpensive. The time and effort they put into every order is unmatched. I recommend peanut butter dream but all the bowls I have tried have been great.

    Purple rain burst

    Bowlista is an absolute gem! I can't say enough good things about this place. It is my go-to for fresh, thoughtfully made smoothies and wellness shots. The overnight oats and bowls need an honorable mention as well, so delicious. What really sets Bowlista apart is how kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating the staff are. I came in needing something very specific for hydration and recovery, and they were more than happy to help me customize a smoothie (swapping bases, adding greens, chia, Himalayan salt, etc.) without making it feel complicated or rushed. Everything I've ever tried at Bowlista, has tasted amazing and even made me feel better, which doesn't always happen at juice bars. The ingredients are clearly high quality, the menu is creative but not overwhelming, and the space has such a clean, calming vibe. Whether you're looking for hydration, recovery, or just a genuinely delicious smoothie, bowl, etc. Bowlista delivers every time. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving and the people they're serving it to. Highly recommend 10/10.

    Love Bowlista's smoothies! I've tried the Popeye punch, islander and summer smoothies. The smoothies are tasty, refreshing, and a great consistency (thick and creamy but still easy to drink with a straw). If you go to Bowlista in a rush or expecting quick service, you will be disappointed. If you have more time to spare, it'll be worth the wait! There are signs that mention the longer wait time so that customers aren't surprised. There are fun lounge chairs up front for you to sit and enjoy the sun while you wait. Shoutout to Lars for the drink reccs! The summer smoothie is my new favorite. Will have to try the purple rain next time!

    Almond Butter Bliss Purple Rain

    Delicious bowls with unique, natural ingredients! We got the purple rain bowl and the almond bliss bowl. Enjoy!

    Great options for the açaí bowls: bases such as matcha, chia pudding, açaí, pitaya; unlimited toppings such as peanut butter, nuts, and fruits. Service does take a bit of time so perhaps order online (I was the only person and after ordering, I probably waited 8-10 minutes).

    The Islander
    Betty C.

    Cute little spot!! This place is definitely not fast, as everything is prepared by hand so just prepare to wait a little! Even the coffee is freshly brewed ! The inside is super cute! There were a plethora of options for açaí bowls and smoothies. I got the islander acai bowl and it was just as I imagined, so yummy and perfect! It looked beautiful and I love how there was granola throughout the whole bowl. The bowls are super filling too. The guy working there was really friendly too!

    I used to come here all the time, but I travel for work a ton. Finally had a day off to treat myself with my husband. Was ignored when we walked in. The kid behind the counter was on the phone and acted like he couldn't be bothered. After standing there for about 5 minutes, we asked, "hiya! How's it going?" trying to be polite to get his attention. When he finally walked over to us, he told me husband, "I'm on the phone with my boss." He acted like we were an inconvenience to him. We both ordered smalls, got rung up for regulars. The food was delicious. But the customer service was terrible. He remained on the phone the entirety of our visit. This will probably be the last time I visit. A little hospitality or customer service goes a long way. But to be completely ignored and brushed off, just isn't good business.

    Sooo good!!!

I ordered a small bowl with half coconut and half matcha, and really enjoyed how smooth and creamy the sorbet acai was. It had a natural, slightly earthy flavor that didn't taste overly sweet or artificial, which I appreciated. The matcha and coconut combination worked really well together and made the bowl feel balanced and refreshing. For toppings, I added coconut crunch granola, chia pudding, bananas, pineapple, and shredded coconut flakes. The mix of textures and flavors made each bite enjoyable,light, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy. It was filling in a way that felt nutrient dense, and I stayed energized for hours afterward without feeling sluggish. The environment was also very clean and well kept, with a fresh, pleasant atmosphere. The staff was friendly and patient, which made the experience even better. One thing to note is that they have gone cashless at all locations, so be prepared to pay by card or mobile payment. Overall, this was a simple but well balanced post workout meal that felt both refreshing and nourishing. I would definitely come back for this again.

I feel like I like being able to eat so many fun toppings even more than the actual acai base, so I love how they have a huge variety of ones to choose from. Didn't know the Spectrum opened up an Earthbowl until recently and I placed an order online as I was in a rush. I will say that some of my favorite toppings were out of stock online, like the mulberries and cacao nibs. I remember they would always load me up on those and they were so good! I was craving acai about a week later and went to order again online, but those two toppings were still unavailable so I didn't end up ordering again. All in all, still love Earthbowl but I think the Lake Forest location still has the #1 spot in my heart. The sizes here have also gotten a little smaller and prices have gone up, but I get that a lot of time has passed. I'll definitely be waiting for those toppings to be restocked and if I'm at the Spectrum again, would love to give it a try again!

When I picked up the drink and lightly shook it, the lid/seal had not been sealed properly, causing the drink to splatter all over my clothes, feet, and my daughter. What made the situation even worse was how your employees handled it. Nobody made any effort to help clean up the mess or assist us. I had to repeatedly ask just to get a towel, and when one was finally brought over, the employee simply handed it to me instead of helping in any way. When I asked why the seal wasn't secured properly, I was told that the machine has been having issues sealing drinks correctly. That is not the customer's problem. If your equipment is malfunctioning, products should not be handed out in that condition. Customers expect their orders to be prepared correctly and safely. More importantly, employees should be trained on how to properly handle situations like this -- by helping the customer, showing concern, and taking accountability. This was an extremely disappointing experience, and based on how this situation was handled, I will not be returning to this location. I would not recommend this store to others.
