Walked in and stood at the counter for nearly 5 minutes waiting for someone to come out. Two families were sitting down and it wasn't till after I waited that I realized had both been served. I was trying to give them a little grace, but finally I went to the door to wave someone to come out. A teenage girl comes out, no apology, smile or urgency, asks what i want, and when I change the order she seems even more annoyed. Talks about how to tip on the keypad by pressing a certain number and when I press skip she just walks away. I had already spent 10$ on a smoothie and considering it took her so long to come out and couldn't even give me a welcome, I wasn't going to tip. The place is small and the bathroom was blocked by chairs and a paper sign saying "no public restroom"so I go outside to sit on the chairs and I wait 10 ish minutes thinking they would come bring it out, when I finally look to see if it's ready my smoothie had been sitting on the counter and the girl was gone again in the back. The smoothie was also half frozen, so practically a lump in my cup that I could barely drink with the straw. Just a bad experience all around, definitely needs new employees. read more

Bowlology has two Southern CA locations in El Segundo and San Clemente at The Outlets. I was shopping there and was thirsty, so I dropped by. Their menu is simple and sweet. They serve Bohemian bowls (acai) and a variety of smoothies. The cashier was friendly and welcoming, and even hand-delivered the drinks to our table. Our smoothies came out within minutes. We ordered the MANGO MADNESS- mango, pineapple, and strawberry smoothie with apple juice base and the BLUE BREEZE- pineapple, banana, blue majik sorbet with vanilla almond milk base 16 oz for $8 each. 24 oz smoothies are only $2 more for $10. Great quality and value for the smoothies. Both smoothies were thick and had balanced flavors. The mango madness was refreshing, tart and sweet. The blue breeze was sweet and fatty due to the blue majik coconut sorbet, and reminded me of a beautiful Hawaiian day. They also have Bohemian acai bowls $15 each, which I look forward to trying in the future. Happy eating and stay thirsty my friends! read more

Absolutely loved this chocolate dream bowl! It was beautiful in presentation, fruit was fresh and delicious, pita ya was tasty, the regular was actually really big so splitting this is an option, and then it didn't break the bank. The regular size was $12.00. It is nice when you walk in and the place is clean and cute, menu had enough options for your mood, and the service was great. I believe the girls names was Mandy, so thank you for your kindness and customer service. I will be back for another yummy bowl read more

Clearly absent owner! Here at the Outlet mall on a very busy Saturday. Place appeared closed, 2 apathetic young girls hiding in the back on their phones. Sorry windows, chairs all scattered, cooler not stocked, tables dirty. 2 customer walked in stooped there for 2 mins before the employee came out. She orders an açaís bowl, no conversation/ interest from the employee, they went in the back to make is. Took them 14 minutes to make a single acai bowl. Meanwhile 4 people walked in waited and left. If you are the owner, train or fire these employees and get your ass in your business! read more

The Açaí bowl flavors are good. The service is the worst! We stopped with grandkids for açaí bowls and were told that the Açaí was frozen and it'd be 15 or more minutes. This is Memorial Day weekend - so many people turned away! We left and got burgers but kids still wanted an açaí bowl. So we gave it another try. People came in to order Poke bowls and were told fish was frozen!! We ordered our açaí bowls and the girl went to the back. Another girl came out and asked for our order. OMG. Service people do not communicate. There's no one waiting to greet customers. Bowls took forever to get and they added nuts which we asked for no nuts please, since one of our grandkids cannot eat them. We gave up and got frozen yogurt two doors down. Manager - please train your staff in customer service. You lost a lot of customers on such a very busy weekend. read more

Worst acai bowl I ever had. Ordered regular asai bowl. I only got half full of the soupy acai bowl. The interior is not updated and not inviting at all. I will not come back to this shop ever again. read more

A bunch of barely employable kids are running the place. Took twenty minutes to make a simple bowl that they "forgot" to make because "it's an old system". No one is taking care of this place. Food is ok. read more

I love this place. Super good bowls, options, & great prices! Jonathan was super helpful, and accommodated my diva level requests! I will be getting my bowls delivered from here on the regular ! Thank you so much! read more

No one is ever at the front you almost have to throw a chair to get someone to come out and get you some service. The girl at the front always looks mad. While I waited 15 minutes along with 4 other customers 2 walked out after waiting so long. Loosing customers for lack of service. Wouldn't recommend unless you have 30 minutes to waste here. read more

The very kind gentleman working later in the day on 8/15 was super nice! They were pretty much closed and he still made my smoothie for me. I had told him to not make it to not be a burden and he insisted to do it anyways. Thank you!!! read more

Large chunks of raw red onions in the salmon poke bowl that we ordered. Not very tasty. I would not come here again for poke but maybe will try the açaí bowls next time. read more

Don't go here if you want your order for a smoothie forgotten 5 times. He came out the door and asked us repeatedly, confusing the order with the only other group in the store and continually forgetting what we even ordered. We waited 30 minutes and there were only 2 orders ahead of us. Waste of time and the mango madness smoothie was mediocre. read more

Acai for the acai bowl has a weird texture, almost like ice cream. Not sure what did they blend with. Topping are fine.

The worst Poke, no soy sauce, i grab the last spoon. We bought to go and they give us Poke bowl with no lid, No wasabi, whatsoever. Service is worse, unfriendly, feel like begging her for food. They forced you to tip there is no option. I did leave a 10% but seeing a bowl with no lid make me regret every penny, not worth for both food and service. Wont come back. read more

I'd give no star if i could!!! It's like others say it's hard to get service like no one's there. There's no selection on the cooler only one style juice, they don't have all items on the menu and overall selection is very limited!!! There's a lot of GREAT places in San Clemente for their items but this is definitely not one of them!!! Honestly the worst place in the area!!! read more

Turned out better than I thought... expensive, but huge. And, pretty darn tasty! Sunday church crowd made the mall interesting, along with the DJ. read more

Bowlology - San Clemente - Bohemian bowls... huge! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Clemente, California

Ok. This is what was given to me today Lol Come on, bro. Açaí soup? Toppings didn't even float. The kid behind the counter thought it was normal when I asked about it. "It's because it's blended." I felt bad for the guy. He was completely clueless. My wife and I were dying laughing in the car. This place has been hit and miss over the years. Mostly miss. We hadn't been back in a very long time. Wishful thinking, I guess. You'd expect a little more for a $10 açaí bowl. I'm not some Karen. I'm pretty forgiving. Just a waste of money. We'll never come back. *We appreciate the offer Josh, but we're done. We ordered 3 bowls btw. Maybe don't understaff and maybe train your employees better. I don't blame the kid that made those bowls. He seemed nice. He just wasn't trained properly. read more

Super slow service and it's hard to hear behind the plastic shield which is good for Covid protection but bad for communication!! They should turn down the music so we can place an order! Lol. Great location and wonderful healthy options but they really need an owner to manage it!! I got a Going Green juice and I'm still waiting for my salmon poke bowl. Maybe she had to go fishing for it? read more

It's always a wonderful services here (but I went during the weekdays at 4:30pm, weekends does get busy) The staff is always nice and fast with the order, he even repeated the order just in case and since I didn't want any red onions on my bowl. Always coming back here since I work around the corner of the outlets, the fish is fresh and it's always good. read more

Been wanting to stop buy and try it and it seems that unless you give a tip, you don't get good service. I bought a fruit bowls and a poke bowl and while my fruit bowl was delicious my poke bowl was really sad. I asked for spring mix rather than rice and you can see how little they gave me. The bowl is not even 1/2 way full. I Should have just gone to Active Culture. Very sad and disappointed. read more

Bowlology - San Clemente - 3 makai bowls made by James. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Clemente, California

So so sad. Great location and so much potential. Very poorly trained staff, incredibly confusing menu and insanely expensive. Food quality is not great not worth the price. It feels like the owner is pretty absent. The blue majik thing tastes like a sugary slushy and not what you would be hoping for in an acai bowl. read more

Clean, simple casual environment with friendly employees. Poke options and açaí bowl options as well as smoothies . A good selection of choices including fruits to include in your bowls. The large size is very big. The music in the space was much too loud making it hard to hold a conversation while eating. It's not cheap but the prices seem in line with other similar style eateries. read more

Poke bowl was poor, ordered the island bowl. Fish was fine, but the rice was soggy (how do you mess up rice?), nothing in it other then cucumbers, onions, seaseme seeds, and soy sauce. Extremely saltynfor some reason, and cashier did not ask if I wanted alternatives or additions. Don't order the poke bowls. read more

Bowlology - San Clemente - Berry Good Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Clemente, California

Okay, no more playing Mr Nice Guy. This place made me SICK!!! To start off, it took me so long to get my good, i heard moaning in the back room, so obviously something is going on back there. To add on, the food was disgusting. the poke was like rubber, and i almost threw up. It also smells so stinky in there. I don't know why I still proceeded to order after walking in. ITS ALSO SO EXPENSIVE!! nobody was actually doing there job, except for this one girl, who was very sweet! But the others were not doing their job at all! read more

Their açaí is sooooo gooood! Soo good that even though we're not from the area, as soon as we returned home we began looking for locations near us and went again that weekend! This bowlology has poke (other locations only have açaí). But this review is solely on their açaí. The portions are generous and taste is 5 stars! Thank you bowlology! read more

My family and ordered their acai bowls and although they took a little while to come out, we highly enjoyed them! The acai bowl did not melt very fast and the toppings tasted all very fresh and organic. My family ordered the ocean bowl, the chocolate dream bowl, the peanut butter bowl and a couple that I forget. We recommend ordering a regular because a large bowl is literally a LARGE bowl, it is huge and a regular one filled us up fast. Staff are really nice, patient and accommodating to customers who never know what they want with hipster foods such as acai bowls (i.e. my big Filipino family). PRO TIP: If you have a AAA membership, get the outlet savings/ rewards card - they offer a buy one get one free of Acai bowls! Keep up the great work Bowlology! read more

I ordered the 9th Island bowl with ahi tuna, to go, and was pissed to say the least when I got outside to enjoy it and found that the employee had made it with no avocado, cucumber or the crisp onion garnish. It isn't rocket science. Fortunately I was close enough to go back and asked about all the missing items, to which she replied that they'd run out and would get more in tomorrow...it would have been nice to have been advised of that before accepting the order and taking my $16 for a bowl or gluey white rice and a small serve of poke. Don't risk leaving the place before you check your order; the employee yesterday had no decency at all. read more

When I walked into the store, the cashier (Aries) was too busy hanging out with her friends to greet customers coming in. When she got behind the cash register she had a completely flat mood, with no emotion and did not smile or greet me at all. When I ordered, her demeanor did not change, as she appeared annoyed that I was even ordering. I am confident to know that I will never be returning here as Aries' lack of friendliness and apparent work ethic has turned me down to this establishment in the future. read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. The girl at the register was too concerned with her friend sitting there and cuddled up to her friend while she was apparently working. It was very off putting to see that she was working with her boyfriend just sitting there. While I ate food there, customers would come in and she would be too preoccupied with her boyfriend to take their orders. Very strange. read more

honestly the worst bowl i've ever had. i don't know if they aren't training their staff properly or what the issue is but we ordered hula bowls and they had zero açaí or pineapple or mango. it tasted like an apple slushie. just really disappointing. i looked at other reviews and it looks like others have had better experiences so im hoping we're just unlucky. read more
