    One of my top-tier Acai places! The Acai is very good and they have a ton of options for toppings with as much toppings as you'd like. Service was okay as there was only 1 worker but nonetheless the wait wasn't very long at all. There's seating inside with ample space. I definitely would be coming back again as I love how they make it overflowing the bowl.

    MY NEW FAVORITE ACAI PLACE!!! I could eat acai bowls everyday and Dear Acai is my new favorite place! They have so many toppings and bases that I've never gotten at other places! My favorite for bases were acai and mango mix. It was so incredibly good I can't to be back to get more. Pricing is relatively affordable!

    Yummy bases, lots of topping options, and they overflow the cup! The coconut base and acai combo is one of my favorites!! The cashier was super sweet to me and my friend. I need to go back!!

    Awesome place to get acai with a great atmosphere and quality options. Unfortunately, the location closed earlier than expected during the visit, and there was only a sign posted regarding the early closure. It was a little disappointing after making the trip, but the discount offered was appreciated. Overall, still a good spot and hopeful for a better experience next time.

    Dear Açaí, I jus wanna take a moment... a lil breath... and express how deeply, profoundly, celestially obsessed I am with you. Your açaí bowls? Smooth like a melody. The fruits are always fresh. The granola adds that perfect crunch. The vibe inside is gentle, cool, and easy. Clean space, calm energy. And your staff? Sweet, attentive, and present. So, thank you, truly. I'll be back... again and again... With love, A very grateful (and happily fed) admirer

    Amazing acai bowl place! It was recommended to me for being very generous with toppings, and I finally got to experience it for myself. I got a 12 oz ($11) and the value was amazing. I got to sample the different bases first and pick as many as I wanted. I picked Acai, blue pineapple and matcha. Then I added matcha pudding and pumpkin flax granola and almost all of their fruits. I love adding all the seeds (hemp, chia, flax), bee pollen and gogi berries and then cashew butter on top. There were so many toppings that she gave me a separate cup just for toppings. I wasn't able to finish it all in one sitting! I also got a ginger shot ($3), which was BOGO! It was very concentrated and potent, which was great. There were also cookies and banana bread ($2 per slice, $7 per loaf) for sale by the cashier. Everything is very reasonably priced - I'll definitely get some bread next time! Overall, the bases are on the sweeter side so it helps to balance them with the walnut, pumpkin seeds, nut butter and fruits. I liked the matcha base and matcha pudding the best. Next time I'll try the coconut based and passion fruit to see how sweet they are. I liked all the fruits except the pineapples. I was impressed that they also had dried mulberries, which were very sweet, so just a few is good. Can't wait to bring my son here!

    I was very happy to come here. Generally makes me nervous to try new acai places because so many are stingy on ingredients, but Dear Acai is not! I ordered a custom bowl on DoorDash for pickup and I was so surprised when I was handed an overflowing order - it was delicious. All of the ingredients tasted fresh, including the granola, and they were generous with the almond butter topping. The photo shown is the medium size and it is more than enough for they pack it. The shop is cute with seating available and a large selection of ingredients to choose from. I will definitely come again to try other options.

    Bases and toppings were delicious, price was decent and service was great. Definitely would come back

    A love letter to Dear Açaí Dear Açaí, oh how I love thee All the bases to choose With all the toppings you can't loose Your bowls are perfection You are now my new obsession PS: come build one in Vegas! BEST AÇAÍ BOWL I've ever had! I love how you can choose multiple bases and mix match them. All the toppings you want and a choice of drizzle. The fruit is so fresh and delicious. The bases are all sooo good! They are all creamy and smooth and perfectly sweet! I'm serially obsessing! All the girls were very nice. There are places to sit and enjoy too! Nice atmosphere. I would live here if I could.

    Deanne

    Sooo delicious and refreshing! I got a matcha and cacao base, and my sister got an ube and pitaya base. We loved the many options for the base & pudding flavors! We were greeted with a nice welcome and were helped out very quickly! If you're looking for a quick bite or a pick-me-up, this place is for you.

    one of the best acai bowls for the price! this place quickly become my favorite place to get super tasty bowls. they are very generous with toppings and also have great friendly service! the fruit is always fresh, and the ube and blue coconut base are the best!

I phone in my order 10 mins before I head there because they make the sides fresh always. They pick up the phone quickly and are always nice and happy to help. I got through the drive thru to pick up and pay never have any problems. Portions of all the sides are huge I can barely make a dent in them I always have leftovers and they heat well in the air fryer. Zucchini fries are my favorite skinny, crispy, yet soft from the cooked zucchini and always hot great with ranch! I always have wingstop ranch in the fridge so I pair it with that because their ranch isn't that great. Onion rings crispy and a nice bite from the onions which are still crunchy. Chili cheese fries, delicious and very cheesy love it with some hot sauce and ranch. The fries are always crispy and fresh. Some times I get plain fries too and they do not disappoint. Again the portions are huge and the price is very nice and fair for how huge the portions are I will always come back!

Every item we ordered was made to perfection--the French toast really hit the spot, and the biscuits and gravy are a must-try. The service and overall food quality were excellent. My family and I were very pleased--easily one of the best breakfasts we've had. Honestly, I don't understand some of the negative reviews. This is a must-try spot. Sometimes people come in with a negative attitude and that affects the experience--customer service goes both ways, and the customer isn't always right. From my experience, everything was on point. We'll definitely be ordering again.

My family and I have always been loyal customers, we always tip generously, and we have never given this establishment a reason to treat us with anything but respect. Today, that streak ended. We came in with a party of 9. Our usual, normal spot was completely open and ready, but the host looked visibly bothered that we wanted to sit there. Instead of seating us, they made all 9 of us stand right next to literally 10 wide-open seats for over 5 minutes. To make matters worse, the staff kept giving us looks that made us feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. In over a decade, we have never been made to feel like a burden here until today. It wasn't cool, and it completely ruined what is usually a great family tradition. It hurts to say this after 10 years of loyalty, but if you have a big party, don't go here. They clearly cannot handle it, or simply do not want the business.
