    The Machine Bowl
    Steve L.

    Deliciously Healthy?!? Why Yes! My daughter had a hankering for Ernie's as she stated they are the best around. So we went for a little father-daughter adventure so i could judge for myself. I went in pretty much blind as this was my first venture into Acai Bowl land. Located in Coral Gables near Merrick Park, parking was mostly on the street. I heard it can be challenging but for when we went which was around 6pm on a Friday, it wasn't too bad. Ernie's has seating both inside and out. We opted to stay cool and go inside. They have a simple yet complete menu full of topping options. You can choose from preset bowls or build your own. My daughter went with The Automatic and I chose The Machine. Both were delicious. The acai was like eating soft serve ice cream and the fruit toppings were not only super fresh but the drizzled honey on top made the fruit flavor pop even more. And the granola added a nice texture to the bowl. Service was quick and place was very clean. Overall Ernie's was great experience especially as a first timer to acai bowls. I would definitely come back to try more things on their menu.

    La Diabla.  Try it!

    The Bowls at Ernie's taste like decadent treats, but happen to be chock full of wholesome goodness. I tried La Diabla full of antioxidants with its sweet and tart Goji berries and raspberries. The bit of granola adds a delightful crunch with each delicious bite. If you're thirsty, try an iced coffee. It's the perfect pick-me-up. All the bowls are made fresh to order and they have convenient counter service. Come and try one of their bowls. You won't regret it!

    It was empty when I got there which was weird. bc this was soo good! Pretty pricey but this was huge so it served as 2 different meals. I got choc covered dip which contains coconut oil. But no one offers that I had to try! AMAZING! wish I lived near one.

    El Clasico with strawberries and Nutella

    How have I not written a review for Ernie's yet? The açaí bowls from here have become an addiction. It had been several years since I even thought about ordering an açaí bowl from anywhere because in my mind, they were a trendy food of the past. But one day, as I finished up a barre class in the area, I craved something fresh and sweet. Alas, Ernie's had just opened so I decided to try it out. Depending on the time of day, Ernie's will either be slow or very busy. During the week, as the local high-school gets out of class, Ernie's is bumpin' with teenage gossip and hormones. Still, if it's the only time you can make it, I wouldn't pass just because of this detail. The açaí itself is special--with no added sugar and a texture akin to actual ice cream or sorbet, I love love love that it holds up even on the hottest Miami day (hey, that rhymed!). The toppings are what make this sweet as the açaí itself isn't. I can't seem to get away from ordering "El Clasico" and the picture in my review was taken on a rare day where I wanted my bowl to be a little more indulgent with strawberries and Nutella. The service is solid--your order is taken politely, made quickly, and that is that. No muss, no fuss. I've even overheard the staff joking with each-other about who makes a better bowl--I found this charming that they took such pride in making these bowls! All in all, you MUST try Ernie's. I've already gotten several friends just as addicted as I.

    Fresh and yummy. Had the automatic and added raspberries. Good flavor and regular is a nice size. Good and friendly service. Located near Merrick Park. Parking can be tough.

    Yummy!! Amazingly good açaí bowls and good smoothie. The store and nice and clean with friendly service .

    I was craving something refreshing and sweet! After stumbling upon Ernie's I decided to try it out. The place was empty and we were served quickly. I decide to go with the "Automatic!' Added blueberries and bee pollen, it was chef's kiss! I love the way they served the acai, frozen yogurt style and I found that unlike other places, the açaí didn't melt super fast, making it enjoyable and fresh for a while. The fruits were VERY fresh and you can tell they had been cut right then and there. I will definitely be back here when I'm in the area.

    El Clasico

    Just had my second bowl from Ernie's and can officially say it's my FAVOURITE spot for açaí bows in Miami. SOOOOO GOOD! So much flavour & so many textures. Had the Tropicalista this time which comes topped with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple, toasted coconut, almond butter drizzle, granola & coconut oil. Never would have thought to add coconut oil to a bowl but will now! It mixed into the granola & froze to create this incredible "brittle" of sorts that you would get sporadic surprise bites of. I was obsessed. Highly recommend this spot & looking forward to working my way thru the menu!

    Ernie's was exactly what I needed after a workout. It was fast service and very yummy. I liked my experience more than the first, where I wasn't even served because they said they were too busy with Uber eats orders and had to close early. I understand that they were understaffed so I didn't say anything. If I'm ever in the area again I'll come back, I love a good Acai bowl place.
