It was a warm afternoon and we needed something really healthy to get us through the rest of our day touring the local campus. We also needed something that was safely gluten free because of celiac. We were happy to find life bowls. They cleaned out a container to make sure there was no cross contact and made a really good smoothie. We added in Chia seeds and flax and coconut flakes. Oh my word so good. read more

Fresh and filling smoothie bowls. Service was great and it was very clean inside. Menu was clear and easy to read. I will definitely return. If you are looking for a bowl that more of the nutty cocoa flavor try the Nutty and if your looking for a bowl on the sweeter side try the kiwi the lime was a great touch. read more

This place was great. I was in the area and looking for something fresh and thankfully stumbled across this place. I got a bowl with peanut butter and banana which was great, and also toast with hummus avocado and carrot which was surprisingly good. I was a little hesitant on the toast but in hindsight it stole the show and I would totally recommend it. Service was good! read more

There are many açaí/smoothie cafés in New Haven but this definitely my all-time favorite! The fruit is fresh; the açaí is blended really well and always the perfect consistency. It's not too sugary either. My go-tos are the classic and the nutty açaí bowls. I've only ordered via Snackpass. The man working behind the counter is kind and efficient. The bowls were always ready by the estimated pickup time and are kept refrigerated until you get there. The interior is cozy, quiet, and clean - I can definitely see myself reading/studying here. read more

The food is made fresh with fresh ingredients. The bowls are healthy and refreshing. The service was great and the staff very friendly. I didn't plan on staying but got a cozy table for two that had a plug and ended up staying for a few hours to work. There is window bar seating and a couple outdoor seats. read more

Life Bowls - Berry Berry Bowl - Salad Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

I visited Life Bowls last year and didn't connect with it, but, I am a woman of second chances so I decided to stop by again today (7/13/21). I read the other reviews and compared it to my experience and it seems like everyone else had nothing but pleasant things to say about it and I too wanted that feeling. When I walked in, there was only one person ahead of me so I was able to order mine pretty quickly. I went with the Nutty as it seemed to be a crowd favorite. I wholly enjoyed the topping (honey, granola, bananas, etc.) but I wasn't too fond of the blend which is really just a me thing. I will say if you're an açaí bowl lover, make sure to check them out. The space is cozy and the staff is pleasant. You'll love it. P.S: Put back up the BLM & PRIDE posters. read more

Life Bowls got the highest ratings on Yelp among places with Acai bowls in New Haven so I wanted to try it out. We did a pick up and got a few different bowls and salads (Budda bowls). The acas bowls were really good without being too overly sweet. The Buddha bowls were ok ish. I will surely be back to try the other acai/pitaya bowls. read more

Ordered the Nutty Acai Bowl and loved the crunch! Order came out pretty quickly. Acai was a good level of sweetness, and I enjoyed the heaping of peanut butter. There are a few tables inside. Wish the portion were bigger for its price, but overall, a solid breakfast meal read more

Really wanted a smoothie, and this was the right place. We were immediately acknowledged when we walked in the door, and the gentleman that took our order was pleasant. Place is cozy and clean. We took a seat while we waited for the drinks and when they were finished they walked the drinks over to us, which was a nice touch, instead of yelling our order out. We ordered the Hartford Kaler (w. fresh ginger) and it was very good. None of the flavors were overpowering, it was a good blend, even with the Ginger. I like the coconut water they used, wasn't super watery. read more

Great food, Great Vibes. I actually crave their oatmeal on a daily basis. Smoothies very fresh and not sugar overload. I go here at least 4 times a week when in New Haven. read more

Life Bowls - Mango #5 - Salad Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Although the toppings were abundant for a rather small acai bowl, the acai base itself was disappointing, tasting more like a berry smoothie than acai. Not to mention, the base tasted almost watered down. There are only a few spaces for indoor seating, and no outdoor seating. However, the service was very quick and the workers were friendly. read more

Life Bowls - Very berry Acai - Salad Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Small, cozy atmosphere with limited seating. The acai bowls are actually a blend of acai and other fruit, which makes frown appear larger. Kind service, but recommend their smoothies more than their bowls. read more

Life Bowls is my favorite place to get a fruit bowl in town! The consistency of the bowls are perfect; you feel like you're eating a thiccc acai bowl instead of a runny smoothie. Their selections aren't too sweet, and you can often get good deals on Snackpass! read more

Always amazing. Nutty bowl for life. Repeat customer...lost count. I actually love it more than ice cream.

Delicious and healthy are the two words that describes this place. Friendly staff and clean restaurant are a must and this place executes it well. I recommend coming here for anyone that wants a healthy meal replacement. read more

Life Bowls - Maui Wowie - Salad Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Life Bowls is probably the MOST vegan friendly restaurant in New Haven, and that's saying a lot, because there are so many solid options, but I can veganize nearly EVERYTHING HERE. This is a beautiful space, bright and welcoming, which makes me sad we can't fully take advantage of it safely. The location is COVID compliant and the owner wears a mask and enforces limits/mask wearing. Snackpass is the way to go for this place but some things, like the specials, won't be on there, but they take orders inside The Salad bowls are flavorful and fresh, the smoothies are tasty and very filling (I love the Hartford Kaler and the Go Green Bowl) and the toasts are really delicious. I haven't had a single thing from here I didn't like, which is saying a lot. If you like everything but the bagel seasoning the Park Slope is the perfect breakfast treat for you. The soups of the day are very inventive, I had a quinoa one that I loved and I absolutely hate quinoa. The real highlight here is the fact that where ever possible Life Bowls likes to highlight local businesses, like Aruna Chocolate (the hot chocolate is amazing, try it with oat milk) and the owner is extremely knowledgeable about his products and allergens. I love seeing businesses support each other, and I would love to come back to try the rest of the soups (all vegan) and pitaya/acai bowls. Being bougie ain't cheap, and this place is more expensive than fast food, I get it. But supporting local foods and eating food that will fill your heart, stomach and mind with happiness is worth it, so definitely give it a try. read more

I'm giving life bowls a 5. That isn't normal for me but I feel they deserve it. They have a great selection of acia bowls, smoothies and toasts. I tried the nutty bowl and was very impressed by the topping ratio. Crunchy, nutty, fresh. I also ordered an iced coffee and was pumped that they add coffee ice cubes instead of water cubes. Finally their set up has ample seating, friendly staff, and I'm never opposed to listening to some Janis Joplin with my breakfast. read more

This place is amazing! Next time you go out for Ice cream, come here. The bowls are so delicious and so healthy. We also got salad bowls and toasts that were so delicious and filling. They are a perfect spot for vegans, vegetarians, and people on plant based diets. All whole foods here. My husband who is not vegan also loved it so much. read more

Tried the Açaí bowls and it was delicious! great servings & great Service. it was quickly made and i would definitely go back again. 5 stars. read more

Best acai bowls and smoothies in New Haven, hands down. At almost every other place I've been to in the NY/CT area, the acai and smoothie blends are never ice-y enough & as a result, melt quickly. Life Bowls has the perfect balance -- I never feel like I'm racing to finish. My favorites are the very berry acai bowl and the purple rain smoothie. I love the strength of the fresh ginger in the latter, esp. when I'm not feeling too well! The guy who works here is also always patient and kind. read more

A hidden gem in New Haven! I went here on a Tuesday morning for a pitaya bowl and this place did not disappoint. There was no wait as my friends and I were the only ones there. There was only one person working and I really appreciated how hard he was working, taking our orders AND making the bowls himself. The place is very cute and clean. It has a lot of natural lighting coming in from the window front and it creates such a nice environment. There's cute wall art that would be a great photo op background for your açaí bowl. There's plenty of space to sit. I ordered the Beach Bum and I took a few spoonful from my friend's Nutty açaí bowl. Both were super refreshing and fresh. It was not overly sweet, just the perfect balance and the perfect way to start our days. The servings were pretty big and I was very full and happy after finishing my bowl! Life Bowl is not shy on their toppings too. I didn't have a spoonful where there was no topping, which is amazing. read more

Greatttttt! Will definitely be going back to try all the other bowls they have. I ordered the kiwi's playhouse açaí bowl to have for breakfast and it was very good and fresh read more

Life Bowls - Kiwi's playhouse - Salad Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Probably one of the best bowls iv had. I got the nutty bowl and it was perfect. I hate when açaí bowls are watery and this was far from it. Not to mention the aesthetic of the place was so stinkin cute! Definitely going back again! read more

This place is the real deal for an açaí bowl. Some places add a lot of other ingredients but this place is deep rich purple açaí. My faves that I usually get are the Nutty Bowl and/or the Purple Rain smoothie. Their coffee is so so good too! I far prefer it to other coffee places. Also the Buddha grain bowl is delicious! I love the ginger dressing. I always feel so good after eating any of their food and of course love to support local businesses. Give it a try!! read more

Really cute place! The owner is super nice, come support him. We loved our salad, smoothie bowl, and coffees.
