everbowl moved to a different location and unfortunately the parking situation is not good here…read more there's no designated parking for customers so you have to park in the neighborhood next to the store. I haven't been back in a few years but it seems like the ordering system is different now. you pick everything you want at the cashier and pay before they make your bowl. this wasn't really clear when we came in so we were confused for a bit. it's not efficient for traffic flow the cashier is located towards the far side of the doors. while everything was delicious and fresh, I find it hard to want to come back with the price changes. when you make your own bowl, you're limited to a certain amount of toppings as compared to back then when it was unlimited.

There is no street parking and I parked inside the parking structure for the apartments. Not much info other than it's reserved and that your car is at risk of being towed.

I think its gonna be my goto place for all things smoothies, bowls, juices, etc. I was a loyal customer of Jamba juice for many years but now that I've had a taste of Juice It Up, I think I'll stay here awhile. The Protein Blast is my fav so far. Today, I think I'm gonna go for the Lava Flow.

I've been in these type of situation before where I'm ignored made less of because I look a (brown /Mexican ) both employees working where white which didn't make it any better .my lunch hour was over since it was now 20Mins of waiting I asked for a refund the girl denied my refund and said I'll make your smoothie not what I wanted but I took it and left . Sad to say action speak louder than words .

My first ever rush bowl. I wanted to eat something healthy because I was hungry but not super…read morehungry for dinner and tried this place on a Sunday. It's a cute small place with vibrant ambiance. Tried the dragon bowl with granola as toppings. The person was very nice to add extra chocolate coconut sauce on top of it making it extra delicious. Overall, the bowl is super fresh and if you want to eat something healthy and quick, don't hesitate to try this place.

It was my first time going into Rush Bowls and it was a pretty good experience! I love acai bowls…read moreand this one was reasonably priced for $12.95. I wish it was cheaper, but it wasn't that bad. The store was pretty small with a couple spots to sit, but it would've been cramped with too many people inside. I got the the beach bowl and it came with granola, honey and one topping. They advertised an additional topping if you did 10 pushups or 20 squats, so I had my boyfriend do 10 pushups for another topping! The cashier trusted me to count those 10 pushups that he did. It seemed busy when we got there and even though it looked like the cashier was the only one working, he was still very friendly. Can't wait to come back and use the app to earn points for rewards next time!

The inside of the shop is fairly small and there isn't much space for seating, but there is some both inside and outside. The service was nice but a bit slow as they only had one person working. Their menu is a pretty good size, with options to make a smoothie or customize your own bowl. The acai bowl itself was delicious. All of the fruit was very fresh and clean, and the portion was good. Loved all of the ingredients that they had and I would highly recommend.

So awesome - love this place after a workout - super friendly staff - great parking tooread more

everytime i have carioca bowls, i fall in love with portland even more. the quintessential açai…read morebowl is done with such craft and intentionality here that i can unequivocally say this is the best spot for an açai bowl -- at least in the states and that i know of; though someday i will have to go on an adventure to Brazil, which is where carioca stems from. the açai here is not the sugary type but the real stuff. high quality, fresh ingredients, too. my go-to is the rose city bowl (rio açai, honey mamas chocolate pieces (!!!!!!!), raspberries, banana, cinnamon maca, granola). yum yum! speaking of which, for this gluten free and mostly plant-based human, can we talk about the brazilian bites?!? do yourself a favor and splurge if you can -- one will not be enough. the perfect balance between pillowy and chewy textured with the (in the case of the vegan) vegan cheese ahhhh i've developed a Pavlovian response where i'm salivating. logistics -- street side parking and a cozy seating area with some brazilian beats that define the acoustic ambiance. online ordering is a thing! all in all, food for the soul, friendly folks, and an array of bowls (cold and warm) and smoothies and a breakfast sandwich and avocado toast make this the perfect place for post-workout recovery or in general, a pick-me-up, which is something we all need in today's hustle and bustle. thank you, carioca! i still miss your slabtown spot where i first found you, but i'll happily make the trek!

Ya know, it's weird that this has been in my drafts for forever. But I like this place. I like that…read morethey were down with the açaí bowl situation before it was cool (or at least, before it became de rigeur and/or spread to the damp and drippy PNW). I started chowing down on smoothie bowls in sunny southern California and the majorest of major metros like Manhattan, and it seems like it took forever for the "trend" to spread to our rainy neck of the woods. One could certainly get wheatgrass shots every which where, but smoothie bowls, not so much. ANYWAY, Carioca Bowls was leading the vanguard of delish and genuine açaí bowls in PDX long before it was an expected food variety in all hippie-ish towns in the US. Their bowls meet my exacting ingredient standards: Now that smoothie bowls have gone mainstream, many are just lightly disguised dessert with "health food" marketing: Hidden sweeteners and grody additives pushed on the unsuspecting hoi polloi ruin it for people who don't do their homework. But not Carioca Bowls: You can ACTUALLY get an unsweetened açaí bowl if that's your jam (it's mine: If I wanted dessert, I'd get a cupcake), and they don't drown the top in honey (honey has its place, and that place is far away from me), and drink in the extremely second-wave granola vibes while you're at it. Third-wave hippie food, like third-wave coffee shops, have suffered a loss of soul: Minimalist design, LED lighting, and cookie-cutter staff with vaseline smiles beckoning "welcome in!" with vacant looks in their eyes have sapped a lot of the joy from the spaces serving hippie food and matcha tea. Carioca Bowls remains a comfortingly messy, quirky callback to sincerity: Murals, houseplants, low lighting, a big messy garden-y space outdoors for sitting and chowing, organic unfussy aesthetics that make the whole scene just feel welcoming and comfy. You can eat your bowl here and not feel like you're a nuisance to the staff, or like there's a glaring spotlight on you (unlike SOME smoothie/juice/bowl places I could mention). Nary a whiff of extruded white plastic ANYWHERE in this place. It makes me feel at home, the way a wheatgrass-sniffin', long-hair-havin', big-hug-givin' hippie should feel. When I walk through the door, I feel RELAXED, ya know what I mean? Anyway, give it a try - this isn't my 'hood but I will still occasionally make a pilgrimage just to get a bowl and drink in the vibes. So if I were writing a Michelin guide (buy those tires!) I suppose I'd give this at least a star, as it's worth a special trip (IF you're into what I've described here - it's highly specific, but it's MY vibe). Anyway, long live Carioca Bowls!
