My experience at this Oside spot was wonderful THANKS to Audrey and Blue Bowl Superfoods. It was easy to get to plus a parking lot for anyone going to visit the collective. Once I stepped inside, I loved how clean the shop was and quickly drawn to the cool decor with plenty of seating inside and outside. The atmosphere and staff were super welcoming! A SHOUT-OUT to Sébastian, the GM, for taking time to explain how everything works. He also let us sample the items. His staff was also attentive as the crowd started to grow. It was lovely to ran into fellow Yelp Elites. SYOY! There were so many options to choose from! I customized my bowl which was highly recommended. Later I found out, Blue Bowl was the original create-your-own superfood cafe. Everything (each ingredient added) was sooo delicious including the complimentary coffee. I left there happily full in a nice way with an added natural boost of energy...very grateful to start off my day with Blue Bowl. It's great supporting a veteran-owned business. I'll definitely be back for more healthy quickies.
It's a treat to be elite :) Thank you, Blue Bowl, for the acai bowl, and community manager Audrey L. for setting this up. Yelpers were treated to a 16 oz bowl. The cool thing about Blue Bowl is that they offer customizable healthy bowls at a set price. They offer a wide variety of healthy toppings and a good selection of base options that you can layer on. The staff who helped me greeted me right away and did a great job explaining what Blue Bowl is all about. I decided to get the only signature bowl they offer, it's called The Lazy Blue. I kept everything and added a layer of Matcha to the base. It initially features acai, pitaya, and blue chia pudding, topped with pumpkin, flax granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and almond butter. The list continues with organic almonds, toasted coconut, organic goji berries, organic cacao, organic hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, and date honey. The girl helping me packed the toppings on. It was aaaallllloooottt and somehow I finished it without sharing cause it was so good. I paid for a 12 oz bowl for my son and a Cold Brew Smoothie. Another staff member assisted in making the smoothie. He said it was his favorite item; it's made with bananas, almond butter, coconut yogurt, and coconut water. My son gobbled up his bowl, and I shared the smoothie with my husband. We both liked it. Blue Bowl is veteran-owned and offers a 10 percent discount if you are military, police, or a firefighter. Thanks again, Blue Bowl! We will be back :)
We devoured this! Blue Bowl tastes sooo so good. They've mastered pre-made bases. Typically I don't like when a place doesn't blend their base fresh to order, but not here. It's perfection. Staff is always friendly & approach their bowls like crafting a masterpiece. I noticed some improvement with line speed this time, but long waits remains the only drawback from coming here, especially at peak hours. Our dream bowl is açaí-coconut-mango. Don't at me, it's a final answer. Throw on all the assorted toppings from their "blue bowl" and it's a hearty meal! I keep telling everyone I know about this dream spot; love that we have a location so close! Thank you Audrey for such a yummy elite treat.
Thank you Audrey, Yelp, and Blue Bowl for a nice Yelp Elite experience for a free 16 oz. bowl. Located in Oceanside, off Vista Way, the parking can be tricky. There is a small parking lot behind the business, but you are probably going to need to find street parking. It looked colorful and welcoming with the colored posters on the wall, and the rainbow of colors on the wall. I knew this was going to be good because the line was out the door when arriving. It took some time to move along because the staff is friendly, asks questions, and offers samples. I think they could improve the speed if ingredients were closer to the door, or at least the list of ingredients, so people could peruse them while waiting to order. With a long line I did not want to get out of line to go look and felt that would agitate people behind me who were already agitated with the line out the door. I sampled the mango flavor, it was good, but I decided on the signature "lazy" bowl, because it is the signature bowl and full of a lot of ingredients and flavors, good chance to try a lot all at the same time. The person who started my order admitted that with all of the myriad of the choices, that he had not tried it yet. That didn't dissuade me from trying it anyway. The bowl is packed, and full of Acai, Pitaya, Blue Bowl Chia Pudding, Pumpkin Flax Granola, Strawberries, Blueberries, Bananas, Almond Butter, Toasted Coconut, Almonds, Goji Berries, Cacao, Hemp Seeds, Pumpkin Weeds, and Date Honee. The final bowl is colorful and fun to look at, packed full of all of those ingredients. It was very tasty, nutritious, and filling. Thank you for the bowl and experience.
Thanks so much to Blue Bowl and Audrey L. for this elite experience! I opted for a create your own bowl with: açaí, maple granola, blue chia pudding, strawberries, bananas and date honee. It was a delicious healthy tasting breakfast! I purchased a mango passion smoothie ($9) for my husband, which he happily drank without offering me a taste. Highly recommend!
I don't usually go for a açaí bowl, but thanks to Blue Bowl and Yelp Elite, I finally gave it a shot, and wow, what a treat. I showed up the last minute on Sunday and got lucky. The guy in front of me was a regular and on a raw food diet, so he basically knows the menu like the back of his hand. Super nice guy, he helped me to build my own custom bowl, and turned out amazing. I ended up with a mix of açaí, pitaya, blue coconut, coconut chia pudding, banana, strawberries, goji berries, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, then topped that mountain of goodness with more almond butter, because why not? It wasn't overly sweet, like the ones I've tried before, just fresh, vibrant and seriously delicious. I finally got the hype.
Wow! I love açaí bowls and thought this was going to be another similar option to have in the rotation, but this is next level! Blue bowl has so many unique options and customizations. We also got to try the bases before choosing, which was much appreciated since there were so many ones I've never tried. That said, I did still go with the basic açaí base. I layered it with the blue chia pudding as well. Most of their bases, including the açaí, is coconut based. I don't like the coconut flavor, but some of them were very subtle. The toppings were also plentiful and super tasty. This is by far the best açaí bowl experience in town! Thanks Audrey and Blue Bowl for having us! See you soon!
Thank you Blue Bowl, Audrey, and Yelp for an awesome Elite Experience!! Blue bowl had an amazing vibe starting with the upbeat music, friendly and helpful staff, and a design that brought on a bright ambiance. They have 3 different sizes (12, 16, and 24 oz) and a variety of cold, chilled, or warm bases to select from. You can layer on as much as you want with unlimited toppings. With the 12 oz, I chose Acai and Huckleberry bases. For toppings, I got strawberry, blueberries, banana, pineapple, gogi berry, dates, almond, and matcha powder. I felt so healthy just building the bowl and even healthier eating it!!
I was so excited to finally stop in and see what Blue Bowl was all about, and it completely exceeded my expectations! I dove right into building an acaí bowl and couldn't resist adding the blue spirulina. The color is unreal. It makes a shocking, beautiful blue that makes your whole creation pop. The bowl itself was definitely a shareable size! The freedom to customize is the real big thing here. With an incredible array of bases, fruits, and toppings, you can truly create your dream bowl. We went wild with the toppings (I won't bore you with the list, just look at the photos!), and every bite was delicious. I really appreciated how attentive the service was. They took their time to guide us through the process, which made the experience feel personal and thoughtful. This was a seriously delicious and fun treat that I'll be thinking about for a while! The store was also very clean and well organized. Thanks to Audrey and the Yelp team for organizing, and a huge thank you to Blue Bowl for hosting us!
Another great event arranged by Audrey and Blue Bowl! I am very grateful! Amazing! Blue Bowl delivers the flavor, the vibes, wholesome fresh ingredients, and taste! Selected the acai bowls with the following ingredients: Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, almond butter, hemp seeds, coconut, cacao nibs, pita ya base, mango passion base and blue yogurt! and: Strawberries, bananas, blueberries, coconut, pumpkin seeds, açaí base, okay maple chia pudding base, mango passion base. Great experience! Great customer service! Great atmosphere! I look forward to another visit in the future. Highly recommend.
Thank you Audrey for organizing such an awesome Elite experience! Thank you Blue Bowl for your extremely generous hospitality! From the moment I walked in the door it was all good vibes! The staff were all energetic, fun and friendly! The place was bumpin! Filled with people all enjoying their Saturday with a fresh bowl or smoothie! The portions are super generous and you can mix and match however you want! Each bowl is an extremely reasonable fixed price out the door which is awesome! They also offer complimentary coffee! There are so many different combos, I can't wait to come back and try something different!
BLUE BOWL @ Oceanside This place was the BEST bowls i've had here in San Diego. Parking was packed on a Friday, so I'd recommend finding street parking (free). Stepping in, the atmosphere was bright, beach like, I loved all the small details of the place, especially the blue light wrapped around the counter, the art on the walls, and the plants! The music was A HIT; it was all classics, and it just reminds me of the beach! What absolutely sparked me was the customizations, any bases, any topping, all unlimited for one price! Shoutout to the worker Natalie, she helped my boyfriend and i the whole way and gave me the best recommendations, and allowed me to sample! I ended up getting the most popular base, the Blue Coconut mixed with Açai. I loved all the toppings they had from fruits, seeds, granola, all of it! They even have free coffee on the side which my boyfriend ended up getting some and said it was delicious! Thank you to our community manager, Audrey L. for this incredible Elite Experience, and shoutout to the amazing staff & owner, this is a required place now to stop by!
This is the cleanest and cutest Blue Bowl location that I have been to. It was located in such a good area not too far from the beach and train station (which I took) and it is surrounded by wonderful restaurants. I opted for the layered smoothie instead of the bowl. I got the mango passion smoothie with mango passion base. Having the base added really amplifies the drink because it is this concentrated puree at the bottom topped with your smoothie. It was perfect for the warm weather that day. I finished it before getting to the train station.
I never realized that Blue Bowl had expanded to so many locations as my first experience with this business was about four years ago when they opened on the UCSD campus. On this occasion, I met with a North County friend who lives nearby and was also confirmed for this Elite Experience. I was allowed to bring her spouse as my plus one as a perk of the new Yelp Elite All-Stars program. Blue Bowl was on a busy corner in South Oceanside not far from the Freeman Collective. We each found a nearby curbside spot as there was no on-site parking lot. The shop had a steady stream of customers during our weekend morning visit. After a worker marked our names off the magic list, we were allowed to sample as many of the seven different bases which each had coconut yogurt and coconut water as a foundation. Two of the varieties, Mango Passion and Matcha, were quite unique. Layered smoothies and bowls were the theme. We each created a custom 16 oz bowl with as many toppings and add-ins as desired. Huckleberry was my base which consisted of muddled banana, mango passion, fresh strawberries, coconut yogurt and coconut water. I also selected maple quinoa granola, acai yogurt, blue bowl chia pudding, pineapples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, The Butter, organic dates, dried mangos, dried peaches, almonds, and organic agave nectar as components for my custom bowl. I was very impressed with how the worker carefully assembled the complimentary bowl which could have been called "everything but the kitchen sink." The coconut flavor in the base was subtle while the fruits were very fresh. It was a high-quality product that had a reasonable market price. Thank you to the owners of Blue Bowl in Oceanside for allowing us to sample one of your custom creations. It was a healthy snack between breakfast and lunch. Thanks also to Audrey and Yelp North County San Diego for organizing this three-day Elite Experience. read more
Having had açai in Brazil, I'm a bit spoiled and picky about my açai. My favorite spot in the past is near Mission Bay but that's too far for me to go now that I live in North County. I've been looking for a place closer and this is it. I have a new favorite. I came in late in the afternoon and there was no line. I know the area well because I frequent nearby businesses and so I was prepared to have a difficult time parking. Luckily that was not the case and I found a spot. I walked in and was greeted instantly. The man helping me was beyond friendly, informative and helpful, making a bit of an overwhelming experience easy and enjoyable. I got to taste the different flavors and decided on blue coconut/açai. I added a lot of other thing s too (see photo). Grabbed a table, the line was now long, and ate my wonderful bowl. So so good. I like the fact that the price is listed and you add whatever you like for no additional fee. The free coffee at the register was a great touch even though I didn't try it. Thank you, CM Audrey, blue bowl, and Yelp for introducing me to my new favorite açai bowl place read more
It's Sweet to be Elite! Looking for a cool healthy treat that tastes really great? Look no further than Blue Bowl. Special thanks to the Blue Bowl team, Audrey and Yelp as they hosted this weekend long Elite Event. Yelp Elite were invited to enjoy a complementary 16oz bowl of choice. There was no skimping or limitations on anything and everything that you wanted. Just enough to fit in the bowl, you got it! Piled higher than the rim of the bowl, no problem. The team took care of guests by offering samples with a smile. My gf and I visited on Friday evening after running around town. It was a well deserved treat at the end of a hectic day. Natalie and the team took care of us and made sure we were satisfied without choices. I ended up getting a bowl with mango passion and huckleberry base. Slightly tart but smooth. Added some hemp granola and a plethora of fresh fruits. Julie got a bowl of blue chia pudding and blue coconut base. Not sure what other toppings, but overall was delicious! Note, the blue doesn't come from food coloring. Rather it comes from blue spirulina, a healthy algae! Who would'a thunk?!?! Thanks again to the team behind the counter. You made the event super enjoyable! Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Thank you to the Yelp team for a great event! I am so excited that Oceanside has a Blue Bowl, as this is one of my favorite acai bowl spots ever! I was greeted by a very friendly worker who told me about the new flavors on their menu and I like how you can sample the different smoothie bowl bases and even the butters! I love how you can mix and match anything into the bowl, so don't be shy and go all out! I got the classic acai, blue coconut, and huckleberry as by base and added their blue chia pudding. Their blue chia pudding is one of my favorites as it has the perfect texture with a light coconut flavor. Blue bowl is such a perfect beach snack to have and their unlimited customizations make this place a perfect spot to keep coming back to. read more
I have been wanting to try Blue Bowl out since they opened so when I saw the invite from Yelp I was so excited! Thank you to the Yelp team for making this happen. I walked in and was immediately acknowledged, the staff were amazing! I was able to try a few flavors before choosing my base and went with blue coconut & huckleberry. Wow so good. This experience felt like no other. Being able to choose your toppings was fun! I can't wait to return and bring friends and family along to try these delicious bowls. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Hit a sweet tooth I've had Fresh, delicious and different flavors than any other acai spot I've been to. The employees were educated on the items they had, and the flavors of the different bases were really delicious! The AC was really nice, it smelt good when you walked in. They offer samples, and the largest bowl is $14!! Which is 24oz. Other acai spots are $25 for one size that's not even 16oz. This spot is really really good and I will be coming back. Thank you to the elite squad for a delicious treat! read more
Thank you Blue Bowl, Yelp and Audrey for this experience! Came in Saturday around 1:30pm. The shop was busy but the line moved quickly. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. My 16 oz. bowl was beautiful and delicious...and so filling! Parking is a bit tricky on the weekends but its a flat walk. A great experience today! read more

This is our favorite place to get acai bowls! Their up front pricing makes everything so simple. You choose the size you want, and whatever you can fit in the bowl is what you pay for! No extra fees. I love that they use a coconut base for everything. The mango is super refreshing now that summer is here - but the OG blue coconut is another fave, too! I've also tried the acai and matcha which are both great. They make their nut butters in house, and there's also free coffee at the register. Oh, they also have smoothies as well. Thank you Audrey and team for letting me enjoy my new favorite acai place! read more
Wow, just wow! From the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted and asked if we had been before. This was our first visit to Blue Bowl (and will certainly not be our only visit!). We got a run down of how it all works. With our Elite experience we got a 16 oz bowl of our choice. I went with the create your own with a huckleberry and blue coconut base. Both were so creamy and light. I also got the chia pudding and a range of toppings (fresh strawberries, blueberries, hemp granola, and a few other tasty tidbits). On top I got a drizzle of their freshly made in house nut butter. Everything was amazing and super fresh. My daughter got the go to bowl with set toppings (but she was asked if she would like to add or take anything away). She really enjoyed it. The store was decent size and had quite a bit of seating inside as well as some outside. Location is great and the staff was utterly amazing. As I said before they were very helpful and welcoming. They even offer free coffee (which is another perk for caffeine lovers like myself). Prices are very reasonable as well. These are probably some of the best bowls we have had! So crave able and cannot wait to get back! Thank you Audrey and Blue Bowl for this awesome opportunity and for helping us find a new addictive healthy treat! read more
Thank you so much Blue Bowl for this event! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly polite and helpful. They patiently walked us through the whole process, offered samples of the different bases so we could find our favorites, and piled on generous helpings of all the delicious toppings. My bowl was bursting and everything tasted so fresh and satisfying. I love that you can add as many toppings as you want for a fixed price (as long as it fits in the bowl!). We went on a Sunday afternoon, and while it was busy we found street parking relatively easily. It was also pretty steady with people coming in but not so packed and noisy that we couldn't enjoy the time. Overall a great experience! Thank you again, Blue Bowl, for your hospitality and great vibes! read more
Blue Bowl is a total game-changer! This isn't your average açaí spot, it's a build-your-own superbowl of goodness. I was seriously wowed by how fresh everything was, and the options? Endless! Naiya and Sebastien were amazing; super friendly, patient, and let me sample the bases (the blue coconut and matcha had me swooning). I'm now officially obsessed with the cashew butter with spirulina, it's next-level. And loved that all the stuff served here had no cane sugar, no artificial stuff, just pure, feel-good fuel. The shop has great energy, right in the heart of South O, surrounded by cool spots like Black Market Bakery, Tanners (hello, burgers!), Little Fox ice cream, and Corner Pizza. Blue Bowl is exactly what the area needed for us health-conscious foodies. Delicious, clean, and totally crave-worthy! read more
I stopped by for an açaí bowl and was pleasantly surprised by how refreshing and well-balanced it was! I ordered the one with blue coconut, and it was both vibrant and delicious. The granola topping added the perfect crunch and texture, and it paired amazingly well with the apple syrup--a unique touch that brought just the right hint of sweetness without being overpowering. Everything felt thoughtfully balanced and fresh. If you're looking for something that's not overly sweet but still packed with flavor and texture, this bowl hits the mark. Tips: Parking is limited to street parking and the wait time can be long since people can personalize each order. But I'll definitely be back! read more
Blue Bowl was new to me. I am not a huge açaí girl but I tried it again and thought it was better than before. Loved the fresh nut butter ground to order. Generous quantity. Fruit wasn't super fresh but good enough. The cons were it was a slow line (I was behind 2 couples and it took over 10 min to order). The plants were fake. Parking can be a challenge in this collective (especially now since Tanner got Michelin recommended) so park in the South O hood up a couple streets and you are good. read more
Another generous freebie! Only giving 4 stars because I forgot to bring cash so I bought a water to be able to tip but I'm having a lot of anxiety about the horror stories I've heard of the staff not actually getting tips from those machines at casual food spots so if the business owner or a staff member can confirm the truth for me I'll add my star back. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I love that toppings are included for no extra fee. It's rare to find a build your own food place that doesn't charge for at least some toppings. This is my first açaí bowl so I don't know if that's typical for bowls but not anywhere else. If I wasn't calorie conscious I'd get every topping for real. I did end up with açaí, blue chia pudding, açaí yogurt, the butter, strawberries, banana, blueberries, goji berry, flax and chia granolas and toasted coconut. Which is quite a bit of toppings as is! It was so delicious. I was fully intending on adding honey when o got home as I saw some reviews on vegan honey not being great tasting but it was sweet enough and just like dessert. read more

I had a good experience here and appreciated the chance to check it out. I've never heard of this place so when this event popped up and I checked the Blue Bowl Yelp page, I was confused by the menu how this place was set up. Well, basically it's a make your own flavor bowl, Subway style. You design it the way you like it. I learned that they have smoothies and bowls, but in the bowls, the base is actually a sorbet. Oh, okay! *thinking this sounds great* Everything is also vegan. No real honey. They spell it honee (coconut based). You can layer the base, but it wasn't a 50/50 split so I ended up with more cool blue than pitaya. Then you move over to yogurt, granola, and chia pudding of various flavors. Then it's the nut butters of various flavors. Then it's the fruit! Then it's more toppings like dried fruit, crispy coconut, and cacao nibs. Then its sweeteners and spices. Got that? Yes, SO MANY choices. It's actually a bit overwhelming, but I asked the guy to help me with his favorites and he was happy to share. I took mine to go and it help it pretty nicely about 20 minutes later when I dug in. read more

I've been a fan of Blue Bowl since my UCSD days, so I was so excited to see a location open up near work! This spot definitely lives up to the hype--they pack your bowl to the brim and then some. I went all out and got acai, pitaya, mango passion, matcha, blue coconut, and maple chia pudding as my bases (yes, all of them ) and topped it with blue butter, pumpkin seed granola, strawberry, banana, pineapple, almonds, toasted coconut, raspberry powder, and a touch of salt. Every bite was packed with flavor, texture, and freshness. The staff was super sweet and accommodating, even with how busy it was on a Friday afternoon. There's a small lot nearby, but the area can get crowded, so plan ahead if you're in a rush. Overall, such a yummy and satisfying experience--I'm already looking forward to my next bowl! read more

I have been a fan of blue bowl for a long time but moved to North County from OC and was so sad to be far from BB. I can't tell you how thrilled I was that you guys have opened in North County. This location is so spacious and clean. The workers are so kind & helpful building your bowls. The ingredients are always fresh & tasty. Thank you for the Yelp Elite experience! read more
Awesome 16 oz bowls fresh and tasty. Tried a signature lazy blue and a custom made mango based. Delicious and icy cool. Bowls will be filled over the top, and will spill over so maybe put on a plate or napkin to catch the spill over. Beware the ice cream headache! take it slowly. There is enough sweetness in there don't really need the pour over nectar. Fast friendly service. read more

Wow! This place is a little difficult to find at first. Not the best parking situation, especially oldiring peak times! I love the ambiance inside. Love the colors and love the music they were playing. The staff is very friendly. Elle was helping me out. She's kind and was very patient with me, since it was my first time and didn't know what to do/expect. They have so many things to choose from! I can't even remember everything I put in my bowl, bit it was DELICIOUS!!! I will most definitely be going back!!! read more

Food (5/5 stars): I haven't had a ton of açaí bowls but this custom one from Blue Bowl in Oceanside is my new favorite! Shout out to Sebastian for walking me through the process, giving great recommendations, letting me sample all the components, and assembling this masterpiece! I chose 4 layers: açaí, pitaya (dragonfruit), blue coconut, and mango passion. I loved each of them, with the açaí and mango passion being my favorites. I topped it with maple quinoa granola, chocolate with chia seeds granola, banana, strawberry, and blueberry. Their nut butters are house-made and you can tell the difference in quality. I went with almond and peanut butter and loved them. I finished the bowl off with cacao nibs, agave, cacao powder. What a delicious, nutritious, and filling breakfast! Thank you, Blue Bowl, Audrey, and Yelp, for this amazing event! I'll definitely be back! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: a little pricey but worth it! * Wait Time: minimal on a Sunday morning * Service: amazing! Huge shoutout to Sebastian * Parking: they have a small lot * Ambiance: it's a beautiful, modern, and spacious spot read more
Thank you Audrey, Blue Bowl owners and Yelp community for making this a fun experience. Making my first Blue Bowl was exciting, me and fellow Yelpies tried many delicious bases and toppings. The service was excellent and I loved that the workers were able to give their opinion. It helped me choose. I got the matcha, blue coconut and huckleberry bases with almond butter and strawberries and bananas. I also got a drizzle of agave syrup and sprinkle of coconut flakes. Yum! Exterior patio is dog friendly! My first month as an All Star and I got the opportunity to invite a plus one. Great perk! We loved it! Thank you! read more
I've never tried blue bowl before so I was super impressed by the selection here! We were helped by Sebastian and he was super friendly and let us taste all the bases. He let us know some of his favorites so I went with the Huckleberry base and got all the toppings I wanted. It tasted sooo yummy. I'll definitely come back to try the other flavors! A great experience read more
I'm a fan! All the good stuff at this spot. I don't know why I was expecting a regular açaí bowl. This place is so much more than that. There are so many options and I have trouble deciding since I like everything. They told me don't be shy and that I could try everything! They even do samples! I literally sampled them all but ultimately decided on matcha and huckleberry as my base. As it did taste like a blueberry matcha like the employee said. Of course, I did ALL the toppings and I'm so impressed they got them all on the bowl without it falling over. I wasn't sure how everything would go together but it was really good! My husband is not adventurous ended up getting the coconut blue and huckleberry as his base. We are not coconut fans but the coconut blue was pretty good. He said his bowl tasted like a granola bar lol This place is cute, clean, with lots of options. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Thank you so much CM Audrey and Blue bowl for this Yelp elite event! read more

A huge thank you to the team at Blue Bowl & yelp for this collab. Blue bowl takes the açaí bowl experience to a new level. You start off choosing your base- they have açaí, pitaya, matcha, blue coconut, huckleberry & cold brew. They also let you mix & match if you want multiple layers. Next up, decide if you want to add chia pudding or yogurt. Then you get to chose from a huge assortment of fruit- bananas, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple; then unlimited additional toppings including a variety of granola, coconut, almond butter, honey, Gigi berries- the possibilities are endless. Def can't wait to go back! It was delicious and so fun to make my own creation! read more
Wow! I didn't even know this place was here! Such a nice little spot tucked away in Oceanside. It took a while to find parking (especially on a Sunday), but once I got inside, it was worth the hunt. There are so many selections!! I honestly didn't know where to start. Thankfully, the staff was super friendly and patient, helping me figure it all out. You can really customize your bowl exactly how you want it. The toppings were all super fresh and healthy, which is a huge plus in my book. Great for when you want something light but still filling. The indoor seating area is really small, but there are a few tables outside if you want to hang out for a bit. Overall, a great spot for a fresh, healthy snack/meal. read more
What a lovely Sunday afternoon event! Thank you Audrey and Blue Bowl for the delicious bowl. I didn't have crazy expectations for this meal but I was pleasantly surprised. I love how many exciting and wonderful eateries are entering the Freeman collective and Blue Bowl is the next one! The 16 oz bowl is the perfect size. I even shared a little with my 2 year old, who loved it. They had a variety of bases, incredible toppings, and such kind employees. I will certainly be back! read more
