    Sunshine Bowl. Two build your owns.
    Ivan Keren

    We came in during a hot day, and we got 3 different bowls. We got a Sunshine bowl and two "build your owns". The build your owns were so cool because I got to choose all the flavors I wanted to. My wife chose the Sunshine bowl and she enjoyed all the flavors it had. My niece did a simpler build your own which was great as well. One of the employees helped us through the build your own portion, and answered questions we had. We appreciated it because it was our first time here! The one downside is the fact that the high chairs are uneven, so my niece almost fell over. Apart from that, the tables and chairs are clean. There's also great taste in music.

    Custom Bowl so good

    I always forget about this place but it's really good and always busy. I like to customize my bowls, but they have a lot of menu items that your can simply choose off off. I like that they offer various base options beyond açaí. Overall very solid spot and love that it's close to me!

    I was craving a healthy breakfast, so my husband decided to get acai from here. We ordered via third party app. The app was very easy to place an order. It's just like ordering at the actual place. I ordered a custom & coffee. First you choose the size of your bowl, then your latte, iced or cold, and milk selection for your drink. Then you get to customizing your acai bowl. First you choose your base, then granolas, chia seed pudding, fruits, toppings, nut butters/ sweeteners, and lastly powders. Then you get to the section if you want to order/ add extras. Thry also have pre-made bowls. It shows what's in the bowl and if you want to omit or add anything. My husband got the island bowl. I would definitely try this place out again. We were very happy and satisfied.

    First time here and I can see why the line is so long at 9:30pm! I was craving an açaí bowl and of course at 9pm all places are closed. Thank you Yelp for leading me to this little popular gem! They have a wide selection of bowls with so many ingredients to chose from. They have 3 friendly workers asking what ingredients you want, each at a different station of items, like base, fruits and dry toppings. Anything can be customized around the bowl you chose from their menu or make one of your own. The ambiance is totally chill but with only 3 tables be ready to take it to go if there's no room. They do have a lot of free standing chairs to hang around in as well. Glad I was able to satisfy my sweet tooth tonight with a healthy option. I'll be back!

    One of my favorite acai spots in Long Beach! The bowls are always fresh, delicious, and satisfying. Some of my fav topics are pumpkin seeds and almond slices for a healthy crunch (skip or go light on granola). I love kiwis and not very many acai shops offer it. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Definitely a go-to whenever I'm craving a good acai.

    Driven by this place 100s of times and kept wanting to come by to give it a try....well today was the perfect time to finally drop by after going to Aldi.... The staff were nice and friendly the place is clean and relaxing...but I got mine to go.... I got the Island Bowl with a few modifications....and as mentioned to go.... I felt like it was pretty fresh and really good actually. I'll have to drop by again another day to get one!

    Stopped by Island Bodega and grabbed two açaí bowls and wow... didn't expect to be this impressed. Both bowls were super fresh, perfectly chilled, and not overly sweet like some places that just load it with syrup. You can actually taste the real açaí, which I appreciated. The fruit toppings were bright, ripe, and generous (not skimpy at all), and the granola had that perfect crunch without being rock hard. One bowl leaned more classic and refreshing, the other had a slightly richer, dessert vibe--both hit in their own way. Also, the presentation was clean and pretty (yes, it matters), and everything tasted like it was made with care, not rushed. You can tell they're consistent with quality.

    This was my first time trying an acai bowl. I really enjoyed being able to choose my own toppings. Service was very quick and friendly.

    I really appreciated that this spot was open late at night!!! It's bright, clean, and everything tasted fresh despite it being the end of the day. I also got some free merch (I think it was after checking in on Yelp, but not sure if that promo is still going on).

    the best açaí bowl!

    Really good açaí bowl! Great atmosphere and always fresh. The best desert in the area

    The bowls are delicious but customer service needs improvement. The tall Asian guy is always in a bad mood and makes customers feel uncomfortable. We have gone 1 hour before closing and he gets upset and visibly annoyed. I understand if I go 30 minutes before closing time, but 1 hour before closing is fair enough to get good customer service. He has attitude during the day, too. I have been placing pickup to not deal with this nonsense.

    Ask the Community - Island Bodega

    Is the Pitaya base made of pure fruit or does it have sweetener or other juice/fruit mix added?

    Hi what can be made with No sugar?

    I don't think they offer anything sugar free

    Is the granola gluten free?

    No, all of our granolas contain gluten.

    Do you do points? This place do points with CashApp I wished one of the worker had told me soon been coming here a few times already and could of earned at least 36 -45 points by now.

    on the screen it's before you pay where it says "sign up/see rewards" on the right in blue and also after the receipt option!

    Is coconut cream still offered as a base?

    I was just in there & they mentioned it runs out fast. They had another flavor sold out that day too. 😩

    Is this place authentically Brazilian?

    No, it is not

    Do they have vegan options?

    I think most of their bases are vegan and they have agave as a topping. As for the granola, asl which one has honey/egg whites etc

    What food delivery service do they work with?

    Grubhub, Doordash, Postmates, and Ubereats

The space itself is pretty small, with limited indoor seating, but a fairly spacious outside patio. The patio is shaded, but if it's hot I'd still recommend sitting indoors if possible. Everything is clean, and it looks like your typical neighborhood breakfast joint. Perfect for brunch with friends and family. The food is really great! From their waffles, to eggs, to breakfast burritos; everything I've ordered has been fantastic! Their potatoes are seasoned very well, and the waffle with strawberry and Nutella is an indulgent treat. The breakfast burrito is another standout, it was cheesy and flavorful. Nothing I've ordered so far has disappointed, and this spot stands out as one of the best breakfast spots I've been to. The service is solid and consistent. Both times I've visited, our server was friendly, and made sure to offer refills when drinks were empty. While nothing was above and beyond, nothing was wrong and the experience was overall great! I'll definitely be back soon for a tasty breakfast!

I love their breakfast tacos. Homestyle potatoes are my go-to sides because they are very crispy and have great seasoning. When I'm craving something sweet, their pancakes and waffles are a great option. Nana's breakfast mess is also a go-to and what I recommend to people who never been. It's basically like the breakfast tacos but in a bowl. I knocked off 1 star because we ate here around lunch time in the middle of a summer heat wave and it was really hot and stuffy inside. Our waitress was super sweet but because they are super busy, the service tends to be a bit slow.

Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

There is plenty of parking in their lot or on the street. We ended up talking a lot and our poor server came back often to see if we were ready for drinks or appetizers. Thank you for your patience. We ended up splitting a bottle of wine and ordered the caprese. The caprese was so fresh and even had pesto in the middle. It was a great start to dinner. We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.
