I often see Buoy Bowls over by my work but have always passed them at inconvenient times. Thankfully, I was on my way to pick up lunch and saw Buoy Bowls and decided a smoothie would pair well with my lunch order. It's a purple food truck and can't be missed! They were stopped in their usual spot at Lonerider's. There were a few cars there and I knew this was a popular truck. I originally ordered the Ube smoothie for my husband since we don't get Ube out here in Wake Forest and I ordered the Açaí smoothie. Unfortunately, they were out of Ube so I chose the mango instead. The staff were really nice and super quick with making the smoothies. It was really hot out, it would be awesome if they had an umbrella or awning for people to wait under. The drinks were delicious! Albeit, a little pricey, but man these were good! I definitely want to try their açaí bowls next time because the sizes were quite big. The smoothies came in one size. I will be back for sure!! read more

Would recommend ordering ahead to avoid waiting. The wait was not bad for 2 bowls. Fruit toppings were plentiful and açaí bowls were delicious. read more

Sad to stand in line only to be told they are closed but they waited on their friends

I had been reading and seeing pics on Instagram and the bowls looked delish, so when the truck was outside my gym I couldn't resist. I bought two bowls, one for hubby and one for me. Both were amazingly delicious, a regular was almost too much as a breakfast/lunch, but I loved every spoonful. Super delicious and super fresh. The staff were pleasant but they could have used a little more southern friendliness. One last comment is that I could not find any calorie counts anywhere. I would guess over 500 but it's just a guess. I will certainly return. read more

Really yummy. It a bit expensive but honestly most Acai bowls are. I love going with my sister for a nice treat! Everyone is always so nice and helpful. Service is fast and great. The food itself is high quality and fresh. read more

My friend just raved about this place and had to take me here. We tracked down the food truck (well, one of three) on Facebook and got there right as they opened at 10am. I ordered a regular Surf's Up bowl "upside down" and added Nutella for about $11. It was heavenly - like dessert for breakfast! It is evident that they truly do use the highest quality ingredients and everything is fresh. None of the bowls have particularly exotic ingredients, but they are totally customizable with the classic blends and toppings they do offer. The staff were super nice too. I would totally recommend checking this place out for a refreshing but filling snack/light meal. read more

FENTON BUOY BOWL My daughter swallowed plastic and spit some of it our.... returned it back after a 15 min return drive and the worked said it was ice (not melted??) ? laughed it off (I wish I was there) and gave my daughter back her money. not the kind of response I expected, when she told me what happen. I totally of 45 minute drive time wasted because of this plastic in her food. Not happy. ************** owner worried about the smirk from employee and not my daughter swallowing plastic. after a 15 min return drive he tried to say it was ice?? really and it was not melted (wish i was there)... WHAT an BUSINESS OWNER!!!!!!!! well done.... hope no one else finds something in their food.... read more

Order ahead of time is the best way to go! This is my go to açaí bowl choice. They have a nice selection of bowls and smoothies. The bowls are so filling and refreshing. If you have never had a Açaí bowl- I recommend you start with the best- Buoy Bowls! My favorite is the brotella bowl. Make sure to check out their website for location sites. read more

These are just fantastic! Absolutely LOVE THEM! My whole family just can't get enough! Such a great meal or treat! I order mine with unsweetened açaí & am never disappointed read more

I had tried a few Açaí bowls while traveling and finally decided to check out this truck because I knew they had a bowl with Peanut Butter in it. I am so glad I did. They are located pretty convenient to my house/work twice a week, so that is even better. Buoy Bowls offers a variety of açaí and pitaya bowls. The most popular is the Brotella which is a blend of Organic Açaí, Bananas, Strawberries, and Apple Juice with toppings like Organic Hemp Granola, Bananas, Strawberries Blueberries, Nutella, and Coconut Flakes; I had this one most recently, it was good, but I would have preferred the Nutella in the blend, so the flavor was spread out better. My favorite is the Surfs Up which is a blend of Organic Açaí, Bananas, Strawberries, Peanut Butter, and Almond Milk with toppings like Organic Hemp Granola, Bananas, Strawberries, Cacao Nibs, and Organic Raw Honey; I have had this one at least 3 times and can't wait to eat it again. The Island Bowl is a blend of Organic Raw Pitaya (Dragonfruit), Banana, Strawberries, and Coconut Water with toppings like Organic Hemp Granola, Bananas, Strawberries, Coconut Flakes, Goji Berries, and Organic Raw Honey. The bowls come in three sizes, small (8oz), regular (16oz), and Tsunami (32oz). Buoy Bowls also offers smoothies that I really should try, but the bowls are so good and "healthy" that I just can't stop eating them. There is usually a line to get these when I go, but it is never too LONG. They also offer online ordering through their app. If you are looking to eat something "healthy" and yummy, I suggest you try Buoy Bowls. They currently have 3 trucks in the area. You can determine the nearest location here: https://streetfoodfinder.com/BuoyBowls Good Luck and ENJOY!! read more

Great bowls and great service! We love it when the truck comes to Wake Forest. The OG bowl is my daughters fav.

Walked up at 2:58 with my daughter to get a bowl for her after her practice. They girl said sorry we are closed... I said could you make just one more, it's just now 3... she said nope. She saw my daughter was upset as we stood in the middle of the parking lot, and just continued closing up and walked back in truck. read more

Hands down best acai bowl in the triangle. 1) The base is SO THICK. They add the perfect amount of liquid so that it doesn't melt at all, even in the 90* summer temperatures. Generous portion of acai as well. 2) They use really high-quality, fresh ingredients!! Their instagram literally tells you where they get their acai from. 3) Toppings are great. They have so many options like cacao nibs, bee pollen, hemp seeds, etc and lots of different types of fruit as well. 4) Lots of options for bowls!! My personal favorite is the Surfs UP (because it has peanut butter in the base) but most of my friends get the Brotella (has Nutella on top). Something for everyone!! Be warned - the line can get long, especially in the summer. Worth it though... just don't go when you're in a hurry!! Although now they do online ordering, so you could always just order ahead if you are in a rush. read more

This food truck was outside my gym this week and last and I finally got to try one of their bowls! And oh my gosh was it good!!! I got the regular size of the surfs up bowl and thought it was a perfect portion for a post gym snack. It was absolutely delicious. Can't wait for them to be back in my area again soon! read more

Love a buoy bowl! I usually call ahead and it is always ready when I arrive! Such a refreshing lunch!

Ordered at the "wrong fitness place" 30 minutes apart. People working says they could not help me, I'd have to call. I call the only number I can find but no one answers. Out a medium size bowl and a pup cup. Terrible customer service. Makes me sad cuz their bowls are amazing read more

My favorite food truck! When buoy bowls parked at Life Time in Apex, my fiancé brought me home a buoy bowl and I fell in love. Buoy Bowls sells several açaí and pitaya bowls and smoothies. They use quality fresh ingredients including local N.C. bee pollen and honey. I have tried a few of their smoothie bowls and like the buoy and playa bowl best. The line does get long so be prepared to wait but it is certainly worth it. I am looking forward to trying some of their other options (especially the Island bowl). I definitely recommend this food truck to others! read more

This is one of the best places to grab a açaí or pitaya bowl. They have good smoothies too. I've always gotten the surfs up bowl with pitaya, until recently they told me they couldn't do it anymore. The Last time i ordered surfs up with pitaya it didn't taste the same & i realized later that there was no peanut butter- so i asked the next time i went if they could do surfs up (has peanut butter in the blend) & use pitaya instead of Acai. They said they could only do it when they were slow (which at this time they were busy so they couldn't) & another time i asked they said they could only do surfs up blend with peanut butter on top of pitaya- which i didn't want. They have 3 trucks now i believe, so it's not as slow as it used to be & other than them not being able to make my favorite bowl () since they opened they have good service & they're staff is nice. read more

I am officially addicted to BB. I have to limit my visits to the weekend. Every time I visit, which has been quite a bit, my açaí bowl is absolutely fantastic and as a creature of habit, I order the exact same thing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy option, but also still incredibly satisfying. read more

Be prepared to wait because this food truck is very popular. After waiting a tad over 30 minutes we were able to try The O.G. and The Hau'Oli Bowl. These were both fresh and delicious options. I can't wait to try more bowls! read more

Best açaí bowls in the area! Quick service! Fresh ingredients and always topped to the brim!

YESSSS - it's great to finally have somewhere to go for good Acai bowls. I felt like I was missing out on the trend that so many big cities like NYC and LA have hopped on. These bowls are pretty big and come with a ton of toppings. $10 might seem like a lot for a smoothie bowl, but you truly do get a ton. I usually get the Maui Wowie. The blend is acai, banana, strawberries, and coconut water. Topped with organic hemp granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, almond butter, bee pollen, hemp hearts. Most other places I've seen cost upwards of $14-15 to add all of the toppings these bowls come with. My only "complaint" is that since it's a food truck I can't always catch them when I'm craving. I work in Durham and the truck is usually in Cary and/or Apex which kinda stinks. Definitely come to Durham more often!!!! Otherwise this place is bomb. read more

Bowls are absolutely delicious but poor infrastructure leads to an inconsistent experience. They're often sold out and close before the allocated time listed online. Beware if you go within 2 hours of closing you risk not getting your order even after you've placed the order. I really do love buoy bowl but unfortunately their business has gone downhill over the past year. If you're looking for a more consistent acai bowl experience, try Mission market. read more

I would like to thank Bouy Bowls for making me a Bouy Bowl addict. It's now my favorite place to get an acai bowl in the area. Their acai bowls are the bomb.com.org.co.uk. The staff is great and friendly and I love the fact that they use fresh ingredients. My favorite one to get is the brotella, an acai bowl with Nutella! One of the cons of this food truck is that they can be so busy the wait can be long. One time I waited for a total for 40 min to pay and get my acai bowl. But it's cause it can be so busy so its understandable and they do help keep the line moving. If you visit them in the fall and winter the lines are short. They also have a cool loyalty rewards card if you buy 9 you get 1 one free which is nice. Definitely check this place out if it's near your area, it's so worth it. read more

Buoy Bowls - Brotella - Food Trucks Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love Buoy Bowls!! If you want a guilt-free treat, this is it! The portions of these açaí bowls are quite generous. You can choose between açaí or a pitaya first layer- both are delicious! Then the toppings are absolutely up to you based on their menu options. I always get the brotella... why? BC of the Nutella!! It comes with a layer of organic granola, strawberries, blueberries, and banana with a layer of Nutella.... so freaking delicious. I can't stop ranting and raving about this place because I could literally eat these everyday and not get bored of them. The bowls come in three size, small , regular and large. Skip the small... trust me, go for a regular, I don't recommend going large unless you're really really hungry. You're looking to spend about $10 average on one of these. Is it worth it? Yes, every penny. The nice thing about this place is that you can get a loyalty card and I believe the 10th bowl is free. You can also ask them to customize your bowl and they're totally cool with it. The staff is super friendly and speedy with their orders. There is always a line whenever I go but that's okay it's so worth it. You can tell how much people love buoy bowls because some people leave with a couple at a time (you can freeze them)! I try to go and visit them whenever I can. I check their Instagram page where there is a link to their website that shows their schedule. They're usually in Raleigh, Apex, Cary or Holly springs so they travel quite a bit. I highly recommend coming here. It's a tasty treat and can guarantee you will absolutely love it!! read more

Disclaimer: this was my first acai bowl tasting We've been wanting to try acai bowls for quite sometime and this was just the perfect start. We were one of first ones and hence our wait was thankfully not too long. I had the Hau'oli bowl and my husband had the Brotella. Since this was our first acai bowl we didn't have anything to compare against. However we loved every bit of our bowls. I love honey and Hau'oli with its raw honey and bee pollen was simply yum!!! Sooo sooo good and it's was very light on my tummy. Brotella was good too if you were in mood for chocolate or Nutella. I thoroughly enjoyed my honey and the hemp granola added the perfect crunch. We are as sure to be regulars here and wishing them the very best to open a store front soon!! read more

Always wanted to try these as Viking from Cali who has some of the best açaí bowls! I had the og and my husband had the banana/pb smoothie. The og is amazing and great flavors. I would say I'm super sensitive to caffeine and the cacao nibs did give me a extra boost of energy. The smoothie was also pretty good but was super thick! We will be back over and over again! read more

This is by far the best bowl I've ever had in my life. I look forward to seeing this food truck in my neighbor and make sure to visit them at least once a week. The surfs up bowl is my favorite with an addition of blueberries on top. You may have to wait in line a bit to place your order or for them to fill your order but trust me they are worth the wait. Make sure you check their schedule to see when they might be in your neighborhood. I highly recommend them for their stellar service and bowls. Can we say delicious read more

The prices are way too high for what you get. The smoothies are not filled to the top and most bowls are skimped on the ingredients. The wait is always at least 10 minutes at each location and customers are ignored when in line to order. Customers have to be yelled at to be heard above the blending going on in the truck. Prices on the truck do not match up with the prices that the items ring up to be. They often run out of supplies by 2 in the afternoon and can't make bowls with certain ingredients. They ask everyone for pictures for their instagram story and pressure you even if you don't want to. Owner treats employees poorly and acts like he cares about the customers but won't offer refunds order is messed up. He is more concerned about making his money than the people spending theirs to keep his business going. read more

Believe the hype, buoy bowls are definitely the best acai bowls around. You can choose from an acai base or a pitaya base or you can have a combination of the both which is what I like to do. The consistency of the base is perfect. The fruit toppings are always so fresh and sweet. You can't go wrong with anything from this food truck and it's definitely a must visit if you haven't tracked them down already. read more

Sadly Custer service is not their strength. The bowls here rock. I frequent this place weekly, it has a truck in the carpark of a lock gym. Today I approve the truck to order and i notice they look out close the windows and turn their back. I stand and wait patiently, after a minute or so they open the window ask if i have an online order, I didn't. They say we close today at 2pm. But they are back tomorrow. I look at my phone and it's 2.02pm. As a customer who goes to this truck weekly, it's sad to see a business to so rigid on rules and time. A good gesture goes a long way when it comes to customer referral, a bad one goes even further! read more

Okay I have FINALLY found my açaí bowl spot. After months of looking up acai bowl places and spending an arm and a leg for something I could whip up at home for half the price, I stumbled upon Buoy Bowls on Instagram. After feeling a little let down that they don't have a storefront, I made it my next mission to track them down and grab myself a bowl and see what all the craze was about. And BUOY (pun intended), they did NOT disappoint!!!!! They have a handful of different bowls to choose from and you can even add on toppings for an extra charge if you want some toppings that don't necessarily come with your bowl. Their bowls are the perfect portion of smoothie and toppings and it's just soooooo good and refreshing!!! Every bowl is made to order and they don't even take too long! I'll be waiting for their storefront whenever that happens. They're AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! read more

Coming from NJ we found a axis bowl spot that we were so sad we had to leave once we moved out here. Buoy bowls showed up on my Yelp and I'm so glad it did. For a food truck I can't wait to see where they grow to because those bowls are amazing. Amazing flavor and my bowl didn't stand a chance, once I crack the top off and got my first bite I just dug in. Being able to add and takeaway things gave me flexibility to make the bowl I wanted and knew I'd like. I had bee pollen in mine and I love it. Their cacao nibs were actually good and didn't taste like tree bark which is always a plus and added to my bowls flavor. I will frequent this place everytime I want that fresh fruit, cool açaí, and delicious taste in a bowl And want to splurge I will for sure spend $30 and get two large bowls. Not only will I be happy for eating some great food my body will thank me because everything is health packed and I know I won't be hungry for awhile. read more

The best acai in North Carolina! I'm from Hawaii and have been eating acai bowls for over 10 years. I've lived in different parts of the country and never found an acai place as good as home. The staff is friendly and they truly care about their work. I'm so happy that I've found this in North Carolina. I hope for them to open a store in RTP so that I can go to them all the time. For now I'll have to find my way to them. (since they're a food truck.) read more

We love this food truck! All of their bowls are such a light refreshing treat full of fruits and flavors! They blend all to order and have a sign on their window reminding you that 'made to order' takes time but it is worth the wait!! My favorite is the surfs up with peanut butter. The honey can make it very sweet, mixing it in helps. Also you can add toppings and they've always gotten my order 100% correct. I like adding cacao nibs on any bowl - the bitter dark chocolate helps cut the sweetness and is a great pairing. I can easily make a lunch out of these bowls! read more
