Iliana (I believe is her name) helped me through the fun experience! I love that everything is vegan/dairy free. As someone who is lactose intolerant, it is refreshing to not have to be careful with this menu selection. Coconut milk seems to be the dairy alternative of choice here. This is my first time here and noticed it is super organized, clean, and cute inside. I sampled a few of the bases, and decided on matcha and blue coconut. Their chia maple pudding was great, I added hemp granola, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. I love how colorful and bright the bowl is and like the chipotle-style experience. It was super tasty. Would def come back!! Thank you read more

Thank you to Blue Bowl and the North County Yelp team for a delicious snack/breakfast! This is my first time at an açaí bowl place. I was surprised and impressed by the amount of customization allowed for the bowl! Sebastian helped me out and was super friendly and helpful, explaining all the options and giving recommendations. Thank you Sebastian!! My partner and I shared one medium 16 oz bowl. We got a base of huckleberry and matcha. Both were so so yummy! I'm surprised they were able to make it taste ice-cream like without it tasting too coconut-y. The matcha flavor really shines through as well. On top of that we got some blue chia seed pudding. Tasted like normal chia seed pudding but we learned the blue was from blue butterfly pea? Not 100% sure. We got blueberries and strawberries on top with some maple granola, goji berries, and cacao nibs. Skipped any more sauces or powders. The berries were very fresh and high quality! Typically pre cut fruit ends up mushy but these were not at all. The bowl was overflowing, but the combo of all the textures was so delicious. And I was so glad it wasn't too sweet/ was gentle on my stomach! Sharing the 16 oz bowl was the perfect size for me. My partner and I will definitely be back, maybe also to the UCSD location. Thank you so much! read more

I really appreciated all the fresh ingredients offered at the Blue Bowl. It was great that we could mix and match skills many options and flavors. The spot is in a tight corner and parking can be an adventure, but I'd say we'll worth it. I had the Mango Passion fruit smoothie which was perfect. The bowls would had been a great treat on a warm Summer day, but not quite the option on a cool day like it was. I definitely recommend a visit to the Blue Bowl read more

What a fun experience to enjoy! I've only had an açaí bowl once years ago, and this was my husband's first time trying them. The variety of options were felt like they were endless! The gentleman helping us was extremely knowledgeable, allowed us to try a few different bases and helped us create our perfect bowls. The value of the bowls based on the size and price alone is more than reasonable. Everything tasted so refreshing and was extremely filling. Also, music choice in the building was top notch! Thanks again Audrey and Yelp for another fun experience! read more

Thanks Yelp for exposing me to Blue Bowl. My signature Lazy Blue bowl was fantastic! It has a little bit of all the most popular items. Every ingredient tasted so good and fresh. It was a busy Sunday and the line was out the door but it moved fairly quickly. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Our server was very patient and helpful because my daughter had a coconut allergy and many of the ingredients at Blue Bowl contain coconut. My daughter finally settled on a mango base with the non-coconut containing toppings. I was amazed at how absolutely careful the staff were with avoiding cross contamination. They took her bowl to a completely separate area and used separate ingredients. Other observations: the music playlist was great with modern fun music. Parking can be difficult because it's located on a busy street corner and has a small parking lot. But we found a spot on the street and walked over. It was worth it. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I look forward to returning and trying some of the ingredients that were not in my Lazy Bowl. read more

First time at Blue Bowl this past weekend and it was a great experience! I got a 16oz bowl and they walked me through the whole process. It's super simple and it's great that you get to customize your bowl however you want. They let me try the flavors prior as well to make sure I would like it. I ended up going with the match and blue coconut base. It was delicious! The service was fast and friendly. Definitely would recommend giving it a try. I will definitely be a regular! read more

Wow! What a fantastic event and experience. I loved the bowl so much that I told so many people about it this past weekend and I almost returned the next day to get another bowl except I didn't have time. I wish this was slightly closer to me because I would be there at least once a week if it was. The staff was beyond nice. A young woman built my bowl and she explained everything step by step. She let me taste everything before deciding if I wanted it. She was so patient and friendly. I asked a ton of questions. Everything is all natural and so delicious. The event was very generous giving us a free bowl priced at over $12 normally. She filled my bowl to overflowing. She couldn't even get a cover on it. I did have to eat it carefully so all the yummy topppings didn't fall off onto the floor. There is some seating inside and outside but not a ton. There was some parking behind the building in a lot and I lucked out and pulled in just as someone was pulling out. Otherwise, parking is a little tough and its street parking only. I cannot stop thinking about how I want to go back and have another delicious bowl. If I couldgive more than 5 stars I would. Thank you so much Blue Bowl of Oceanside! read more

Thank you Audrey for putting this even together. I absolutely loved Blue Bowl. This was my first time trying them out and both my mom and I loved them so much that we went back the next day! The staff is so friendly, explained the ordering process, and allowed us to try the different bases. They are all so good! I try the Blue Coconut with Pitaya and then added chia pudding with a plethora of toppings such a granola, dried fruit, agave, strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon powder, peanut powder, hemp seeds, and the list goes on. I noticed they also sell the bases to go. This was a win for sure and I can't wait to go back! read more

Best healthy bowl I've ever had-- friendly, informative service and many customizable options made for a great experience at Blue Bowl. After sampling a few bases, I went for the customizable bowl with acai and maple chia pudding. I kept heaping on all the fresh and dried options that tickled my fancy until my bowl was overflowing. Each bite contained a different combo of colors, flavors and textures. I finished totally satisfied with no cravings for the rest of the day. Thank you Audrey and Blue Bowl for this wonderful reason to spend the day in Oceanside! read more

Elite Experience: Blue Bowl - Their signature bowl and free complimentary coffee! - Yelp Events Near Me - Oceanside, California

Thank you Bluebowl and Yelp for the invite! I tried the blue coconut base and it was delicious, I've always just had the regular acai base but decided to get something different, the mango passion and matcha tasted good as well but blue coconut was calling me. Anyway, I love that they have the ingredients right in front and you see them put it together. Fresh fruits are used, plenty of other dry toppings. I had the chocolate granola, banana, strawberries, blueberries, almonds, cacao nibs, peaches, agave nectar. It all tasted amazing! We'll definitelt order and stop by! read more

Literally the best acai bowl with the freshest ingredients I've ever had! I loved that you can get unlimited bases and toppings, and there is so much variety. For the base, I chose matcha (my fave), mango passion, blue coconut, and acai yogurt. There's 4 types of granola to choose from and I chose the chocolate! I love how fresh the fruit was! I chose banana, blueberries, and strawberries. I'd definitely come back to this location, and the staff are super helpful and friendly! read more

I arrived here with another Yelp Elite after 9am. Parking wasn't bad. I parked on the street. They explained the base and toppings. I sampled the pitaya which wasn't too sweet. I opted for the pitaya and matcha for the base with blue chia seed. I added a bunch of toppings that I can't remember but it was all great! Thank you Yelp (Audrey) and Blue Bowl for this event! read more

Thanks Audrey and Blue Bowls for an amazing Yelp event! I am so excited to have a blue bowls near me. Parking is a little tricky to find since it's on Vista Way. You can find neighborhood parking around the corner of the store, but the acai here is worth it! I love that you can get as many toppings and bases as you like. My favorite is the huckleberry! They also have a rewards program which is great! read more

Thanks Audrey and Blue Bowl superfood for a nice experience. Healthy popular place. A long line and moving slowly Saturday June bloom morning in Oceanside. Everybody just patiently waits for the turn to taste the base, choose the layers, and go wild on the toppings. Very low pressure choose whatever base and toppings unlimited combo while the hostess explaining the ingredients. Kudos for the host and hostess for patiently walking the customers through the blue bowl building experience. Surprise yo see the complimentary coffee at the checkout too. Love the business model. Clean place clean restroom. Good location. Healthy food and good learning experience for what intake you would like in your body. Not to mention the bowl is a work of art too. Wholeheartedly recommend. read more

I didn't know if I walked into an açaí place or a dance party. The music walking in was awesome and a great first impression as you enter into the blue inside with cool designs and spacious walking area. The staff at Blue Bowl were super nice and offered samples of each flavor and answered all our questions about each ingredient and base. I ordered half blue coconut and cold brew as the base and it was super good! The blue coconut base also had coconut inside the base, which was a nice touch which offers more flavor in each bite. Toppings I kept a bit more simple, with chia pudding, banana, strawberries, blueberries, peanut butter, chocolate granola, pumpkin seeds, toasted coconut, and honey. Having a complimentary coffee was a real nice touch at the end which I wasn't expecting. I also left a cash tip at the end. Bathrooms were very clean and spacious too. I'd like to thank the community manager for inviting me to this event! A super great experience! read more

Aloha gang! First of all let me thank the folks at Blue Bowl, Yelp and our awesome CM, Audrey for a wonderful Elite Experience. I arrived first thing in the morning just a little after 9 a.m. I was greeted by Sebastian and Naya (Naya I hope I got your name right, if not, forgive me) with smiles and a warm welcome. This was my first visit and they patiently answered my questions and helped me create my 16 oz bowl. I was happy to hear that you pay one flat rate for the bowl and can put an unlimited combination of ingredients into your creation. So. .as long as it fits in your bowl, you're good to go. What a great idea and it takes the pressure off of you since there are no extra charges for the number of bases, toppings, fruits etc...that you choose. So, take for instance, the bowl I decided to create. I chose two base ingredients, pitaya and blue coconut. I also added chocolate granola, acai yogurt, peanut butter, fresh fruit including bananas, strawberries and pineapple chunks and a host of other toppings and all of the customizations were included in the price. No extra charges for this topping or that topping like other businesses. All of the ingredients were fresh and laid out in front of me to choose from and the staff was so helpful with suggestions and assistance. I also noticed they really cared about their customers. Something that is hard to find in businesses these days. Overall, I've decided this will be my new "go to" for custom bowls especially for the price, the friendly staff and the comfortable vibe they share with the community. To top it all off, as a veteran, I support businesses owned by veterans and not only do you have my backing, but you've gained a new fan. Mahalo Blue Bowl!! read more

It's the Matcha and the customer service for me! The crew on Sunday afternoon was awesome, and a huge thanks to Audrey for putting together this event. Watching them freshly slice bananas and make the chia pudding was a plus. We found easy street parking, the shop is bright and clean, and it's a great health treat, or a full meal if you choose. It's cool to see them grinding their own nut butter on the back counter. The prices are reasonable and the outside tables are a nice for people watching. They have so many flavors and customizations- you're bound to find something you love here. Thanks again y'all! read more

Thanks Blue Bowl, Audrey L, & Yelp North San Diego for this sweet treat. I got a 16 oz bowl with Acai, Pitaya, and Mango Passion. With a drizzle of date honee. I opted out of all the other toppings being that it would be too much for me. It's off the corner of Alvarado and vista way just before you get to the 101. There is very small parking lot behind (one way) & you can enter it off Freeman. Or you can park in the vicinity/ neighborhood. Everyone was super nice and several other Yelpers were cashing in on their perk too. We came as a family...three out of 4 of us were on the list. We got a smoothie for them and left a little tip. They allow you to choose a smoothie in place of the bowl if you'd like that option instead. read more

This was such a nice treat! The service was amazing, and I understood why there was a line out the door while I was there. I loved how you could create your own style bowl, and how they offered a variety of topping choices you don't generally see. The only drawback was that parking was a nightmare. They offer a few spots in the back, but it's pretty much street parking. Since there's a lot of shops around plus in a residential area expect to be driving around for awhile... especially on the weekends. Thank you blue bowl and Audrey for an extremely yummy treat. I will definitely be back. read more

I've never had an açaí bowl and really did not think I would like it. Well surprise, surprise, I loved it! Kudos to Naya for creating the most delicious bowl for me. I started with 3 bases: Açaí,Huckleberry, and Blue Coconut then added the blue bowl chia pudding, a banana, strawberries, blueberries, granola, toasted coconut and finished off with some agave nectar. It was so good! The staff were awesome, the place was super clean, and I discovered a new food. read more

Super yummy bowl! I'm so happy I came here. I was looking for another açaí bowl with more base flavors. I got the huckleberry and maple chia. Lightly sweet and pretty much all the toppings. Putting lime in it really does wonders to the flavor of the bowl. I love this place and it's definitely way better than Everbowl. Everbowl started to disappoint me after they took my favorite spinach smoothie flavor away. I will definitely come back when I'm craving açaí and healthy food options. read more

OMG. I found heaven in Oceanside. I love açaí and nut butter and fresh fruits and this place mixes it in a bowl and it is so up my alley it bowls a strike to my tastebuds.

The staff here were superb - knowledgeable and gave us the rundown on the nifty in-house ground nut butters. I'll definitely be back. Thanks read more

Thanks Audrey and Blue Bowl for organizing this event! Blue bowl is located in south Oceanside. Small parking lot in the back was full so had to search around for street parking. The employees are super helpful and patiently explained all the options! There are a lot of options. It's a big assembly line for your bowl. I got the açaí. It was very good, not too sweet. They pile the fresh fruits and topping high. The 16 oz is a good size and filled me up. Will definitely have to remember this place if I'm ever up this way! read more

It was a busy Saturday but was able to find a parking spot behind blue bowl. When I walked in the guy working was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Once I told him I was there for the yelp event he did a very thorough breakdown of everything for me so I could make an informed decision. I really appreciate this although it was a lot to take in. I chose the mango passion layered smoothie and it did not disappoint. I watched him cut all the fruit up fresh and make it with care. The inside of the establishment is very clean and the blue lights add a fun touch. Tables inside and out as well. The smoothie was perfect and I would definitely recommend to others.

Ohhhh. Emmm. GEE!! This was hands down the BEST thing l have tasted in years. I am not a huge fan of pitaya or acai bowls so when seeing they had alternatives l thought sure, why not give it a shot? I. Am. Hooked! Will be a customer for lifeeeee! I haven't enjoyed anything as good in a very long time. I love coconut so l got the coconut options as well as the mulberry chilled options. The lady who helped me was super kind in explaining how it all worked and l was grateful for her explaining it all to me. I actually had a lot of questions because the mulberries themselves are something I have never tried before. I got to try a few on my bowl and would definitely get them again. The apple honey? Ginger honey? Ahhhh maze ing! Just so interesting to see all these flavors that l don't have in my own kitchen come together to make the most delicious spoonfuls. I ate it on my drive home after being stuck on the fwy due to an accident for hours and not having any access to food or a restroom. I can't think of a better treat and the entire time l ate it, l literally marveled to myself how dang good it was. I now live in Murrieta but l would totally make the drive for this and bring my family next time. I did bring my friend and she shared a few bites. We both agreed it was perfection. Thank you Audrey and Blue Bowl. I will definitely sing your praises to anyone who listens to my recommendations. read more

WOW Blue bowl really crushed it with their bowls! I started with their signature "lazy blue" but swapped the pumpkin flax granola with hemp granola and skipped the toasted coconut. The bowl was filled to the brim with all the amazing topics that are unlimited by the way. Honestly one of the best acai bowls I've ever had, and ive had a lot. The staff was very friendly, and their prices are reasonable for the unlimited toppings. I'm recommending it to all our North county friends and family.

What's this? An Elite event just steps from my apartment?! SOLD!!! I've lived in South O forever and have watched the comings and goings of about a hundred different businesses, some of the most recent of which located on the block that now boasts Blue Bowl. I've driven by daily, watching everything from the grand opening day line out the door to the people enjoying their bowls from the sidewalk seating in the sunshine. Parking can be atrocious so I've never bothered to do a drive-by to give Blue Bowl a try yet, nor have I made the effort to just walk from home. I think the reason is that the planets were aligning for me to finally sample Blue Bowl courtesy of Audrey and Yelp (thank you!). I decided to stop in this past Saturday while driving home from running some errands. I had to circle the block 4 times before finally lucking out in the tiny parking lot behind the building. Once inside I didn't have to wait too long to order, though there were 2 groups ahead of me. Ordering is similar to Chipotle - pick your base or a combination of more than one, then add fruit, various other toppings, granola, nut butters, "honee," nuts and various other garnishes. Best of all, everything is vegan! I ordered my 16 oz bowl with half classic açaí and half pitaya (though I tried the blue coconut base and I will definitely order that next time), followed by bananas, blueberries and strawberries for the fresh fruit, maple granola, goji berries, dried mulberries (YUM!) and dates (double YUM!), toasted coconut, apple "honee," The Butter, nuts... I'm sure I'm forgetting some toppings because my cup was loaded up but man did it look delicious. I had my 5-year-old in tow and her patience was dwindling despite the fast and friendly service, so I took my bowl home to share with my husband and it was very much enjoyed down to the last bite. I think the 16 oz size was perfect - not too much, not too little. I honestly don't think I could finish the larger one, and the smaller size seems like it just wouldn't allow for as many delicious toppings as I got to enjoy. Now that I know what I've been missing out on all these weeks since their grand opening, I will definitely be back soon. read more

I'd heard so much about blue bowl in LA and it really did live up to expectations, maybe even more! The fact that you have unlimited choices for each size bowl blew my mind. The blue coconut and huckleberry bases are so creamy and have a consistency of ice cream. The açaí is like a scoopable sorbet too which I prefer over a blended smoothie texture. I love the option of chia pudding and nut butters for protein boosters and it all just tasted so good!! I didn't have a sugar rush like I usually get after just an açaí bowl because you can tell these ingredients are made with the best ingredients to make you feel good. Not to mention the staff lets you try all bases!! I have to come back very soon. read more

I went with the Signature Lazy Blue and added on Blue Butter. It was great quality, and enjoyed every bite! read more

I really like this place, thanks Yelp! The line was a little long when we walked in but it was worth the wait and because you have to make a decision on a lot of items to choose from plus it was a Saturday. There is a restroom inside and there is parking to the north of the building. This was a very delicious bowl . The lady behind the counter explained everything perfectly and was very professional, knowledgeable and patient. The team worked perfectly together. This Yelp Elite Experience was awesome, thank you . Myself and a guest were able to try a medium bowl for free. The fact that you can try every flavor base was a nice touch. The blue coconut was the best. I added hemp granola, strawberries, blue butter, all 3 kinds of dried coconut and apple honee (that's the way they spelled it ). I'll be back and bring more family members, friends and coworkers. Great job Blue Bowl Oceanside read more
