I have been to several places that offer acai bowls, and Main Squeeze in Alameda does a great job! Of course, the place could use more seating, but I'm okay with taking my bowl to-go. I was there on a warm Sunday, just to try their acai bowls. There's four acai bowls on the menu board, so I asked the gentleman behind the counter....."which is the best acai bowl?" With confidence, he said...."the Oasis Bowl." He likes the Oasis Bowl because it features seasonal fruit. That means the recipe and taste experience can change with the seasons. When I was there, the seasonal fruit was pineapple. This place makes a good acai bowl. For $13.00, it's not overflowing with fruit toppings. Instead, it's packed with fresh fruit, crispy granola, chia seeds, honey and coconut flakes on top of a acai base. It's definitely a meal, not a fruit bowl snack. The interior is very clean. It has a small outdoor patio. According to signage, there's no indoor seating. Main Squeeze is located near the Park Street Downtown. It's walking distance from the Alameda Theatre, public parking lot, and Alameda High School. read more

Service is amazing! I was greeted by an awesome employee who (at my request) made a couple changes to their greens smoothie (spinach replaced with kale and peach replaced with pineapple). Shy girl so there were no questions asked and the smoothie is muy delicioso. Super fresh ingredients here and nice protein bars. Nice patio. The one star reviews for this place are from a bunch of Karens. Been here many times and they always get it right. read more

Can you believe I've never had an acai bowl!!?? Was in Alameda with my son & he suggested getting one. I was hesitant because an acai bowl didn't sound like anything more than a bowl of fruit. I WAS WRONG! This place was the perfect spot to try my first acai bowl. The owner ( I assume he was the owner) came out and talked to me about the acai and guaraná they use. He promised I'd love the final product. Took my first bite and ay, ay, ay! Sooooo good!!! read more

Great smoothie spot with a nice patio. Staff are nice and will make adjustments for allergies without and issue. They offer lunch specials for students during the week. Their açaí bowls are great too. read more

The açaí bowl here is amazing. The açaí isn't too sweet so the fruits shine through. I really like the alpha bowl- the crunch of the granola is great. Second time coming here. It's so nice to grab a bowl and sit out in the patio under the sun. Pretty fast service too. Only caveat is that the açaí is more smoothie consistency this time; last time it was more icee consistency. Personally I like it more firm like icee. read more

This is the place to go for ur acai fix in alameda! The bowls here are so fresh and the fruit tastes like farmers market fruit. The only downside is that they forgot to put almond butter in the alpha bowl I ordered. Service was quick here! Definitely a quick stop spot! read more

Haven been back here in a while but drinks are still as good as when they first opened. Looks small on the outside but there is a good amount of seating inside with outdoor seating aswell. Menu is pretty straigh forward and simple with a few snack options in a fridge. Only one worker was on shift but still had the drinks come out at a good time and was really nice. The maca mama seemed pretty popular as I noticed all the orders before me had gotten it too and it was worth it. read more

I took my time to read the menu to order a juice and smoothie. I wanted to ensure I chose ingredients that would not affect my allergies. However, the gentleman who made my smoothie added almond milk --despite almond milk not being one of the ingredients in the smoothie! Thank God I was observing him make my drink otherwise I would've never caught it and would've gotten sick. I asked him why did he add almond milk and a young woman jumped in stating that they ran out of coconut milk. I then proceeded to ask why didn't the inform me. If you end up going to this business, I'd recommend you watching them make your smoothie to ensure the ingredients are correct--especially if you have food sensitivities! read more

I waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for a very average smoothie. The smoothie itself tasted fine until it melts and its so bad. I do not reccomend going on weekends at all. If you want to go, you can go on a weekday and only wait 45 minutes. They have like three workers and you wait forever to order than even longer to get your drink. read more

very good smoothies! thankfully was with my family so i was able to try a whole bunch of the smoothies. the carmen miranda was amazing! that one was mine, very sour since there was pineapple in it so it was expected. but in a good way. the essential greens was very good. that was my mom's and it tasted very healthy, also expected with there being spinach. my sister got the maca mama and that was absolutely delicious. it tasted a little but like peanut butter, but it was very smooth and reminded me of hawaiian flavors. last the berry happy together is kind of what you expect out of a smoothie. that was my uncle's and even he said "i wanted the most basic type of smoothies." overall i loved all the drink, the design of the shop was adorable, and it came out fairly fast considering there was only one worker it seemed like read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon craving a smoothie and it did not disappoint. The cashier was super friendly and accommodating when I wanted to alter my smoothie. I got the fruity fresh with no bananas sub peach and it was delicious. It was not too tart and super refreshing. I like how they don't use sherbet and it's just fruits and a splash of apple juice. The ambiance is bright and very clean. They open both doors to allow fresh air on a nice day and also they also have a patio for those who want to sit outside. Highly recommend. read more

Love to have a local smoothie/juice place! I wasn't wowed by the smoothie options, but having too many options can be overwhelming too. Add-ons are just 0.75 to customize things. The Berry Happy Together + Hemp Protein was very tasty and I'll be back to try their açaí bowls for sure read more

Wanted to try a new place for acai bowls. This is a small location. We were assisted as soon as we walked in. I ordered the Oasis and Dessert bowl both were delicious. The service was pretty quick.

I enjoyed my açaí bowl relatively much, but I thought the quality and size of the did not 100% suit the price. They only have one bowl that can be made without the hefty dose of caffeine packed in guarana, which they state they cannot omit from the recipe (even though they blended the base in front of me, so I was confused as to why they couldn't just modify the base recipe for their other bowls) so if you do not want all that caffeine, you are limited to their Alpha Bowl which just has granola, banana, strawberry and apple. I wanted the bowl that boasted "seasonal fruit" but was told they couldn't do it without guarana. They use conventional fruit, not organic, and everything was quite bland. For $13 at the size they are serving, I think the fruit should be organic and ripe. I might return if I really want an açaí bowl simply because they are conveniently located, but it's unlikely. read more

My husband and I love this little spot. We enjoy the wheatgrass and the ginger shots. They always give us a nice healthy boost of energy and are wonderful for cleansing the body. The location is central to Alameda, and can get quite busy during certain hours with all the high school kids. I happened to get a sample of the maca mama drink and it was delicious! I'll be back for that next time. read more

Never really thought of having greens included into any drink, but greens + fruits = delicious lol. A great way to get your daily greens in without having to eat them, but drink them! Drinks: 1. Leafy Love 12oz {4/5 stars, $7} - This drink includes Kale, Chard, Green Apple & Pineapple. At first it tasted like strawberry banana smoothie, and was very surprised when looking back at the menu it did not include any of these fruits. So if you like strawberry banana, but need to eat your greens then this drink is for you! Service: A card that you can use every time you go and when you have enough vistits you can redeem them for a free drink so thats cool! More like a loyalty card. Overall: A nice place with tons of healthy selections, great drinks, but little on the pricey side of things. read more

I was feeling a bit under the weather so I was looking to drink something to boost my immune system. It was my first time here. The cashier took and made my orders. She was soft spoken and seemed kind of friendly? I got the Heart Beet, Maca Mama, and a Tumeric Wellness shot. All three were good and taste as expected. Inside the shop appears to be clean and well kept/organized. Everything in the menu is a bit expensive but hopefully the shop uses only top notch ingredients. I'd come back again to try other items should i be in the area. read more

Spotted this place from across the street while on my way back to my car after a hair appointment at Tomo's. I actually decided to go once I got inside my car since I had time still available from my parking time stamp from the parking structure that is right around the corner on the opposite side of the juice shop. I had entered just in time- no line and quick service. I think I was greeted by the owner? While I was waiting, the kids at the school nearby had been let out for lunch so there was a swarm of kids coming my way. Totally forgot that there was a school nearby, let alone they get to roam that area of Alameda for lunch, lucky! My neighborhood area wasn't as good as this one was during h/s. Any who, I ordered the Heart Beat, which has beets, carrots, parsley, ginger, lemon, and green apple. It was great! Will be coming back here again. Glad I stopped by! read more

This place was really good. The ratio to acai granola and fruit was really good. The bowl was also very filling. The girl at the counter was really friendly and helped me pick the bowl. She was fast and quick! The spot was really nice and cozy. I'd definitely go back again read more

If you are from alameda and did not try açaí bowl from main squeeze, you missing out big time. Me and my fiancé just came from back from Hawaii and their best treats over there is an açaí bowl. So one day we were craving it when we got back from alameda and main squeeze showed up. Quality rate: 5/5 This is the as good as the ones in Hawaii. Better than ice cream or and other frozen dessert out there. Must try for sure. Pack with nutrition and great flavor Customer service: 5/5 Fast and nice Price: 5/5 $8-10 worth it. The Ingredient they use Is high in quality things you see in public market or organic stores. read more

Cute store with healthy food. I'm always looking for a restaurants which serve light, healthy meals. This one really fit the bill in a lot of ways. They have a pretty simple menu consisting mostly of juices, smoothies and acai bowls. Honestly, almost all of them sounded very tasty, and they are very reasonably priced. The prices are quite a bit less than their competitor, Vitality bowls. I ordered the Beleza bowl, which was only $8. It was actually ready in about one minute. Yes, it was that fast. Inside, it is pretty spartan and simple. It has a hard floor and a broad counter, where you can sit and look at the people walking by. There's also a pretty patio area with a few tables and planters. I didn't see the nutrition information for any of the food items, so that would be one suggestion. I bet other customers would really like to know the calorie count in these scrumptious meals. They also have a cooler with some snacks, sandwiches and salads that you can take to go. Most of the parking around here is metered parking, but if you're willing to walk one block down the street, it's free. read more

Time to be rewarded for getting my vaccine shot! This was the closest açaí bowl to the Oakland coliseum. Great location in beautiful alameda, I need to come back and try all these amazing restaurants. I decide on the oasis bowl and added a few necessities from the dessert bowl. I always have to have almond butter and cocoa nibs. The fruit was plentiful and very fresh, I loved the honey they have as well, it adds a very nice sweetness to an excellent açaí bowl. Well done. read more

WHEN: Sunday @Noon After my super short run and long walk, I felt it was time to give this place a try. I was excited! I wanted to try one of their açaí bowl, so here's what I chose: OASIS BOWL - $10 Açaí, Banana, Guarana topped with Granola, Seasonal Fruit, Coconut Flakes, Chia Seeds & Honey. Açaí is a berry that looks like a grape and grows on the acai palm tree, which is native to Brazilian rainforests. So in an açaí bowl, you will find on the bottom, the açaí mashed into a smoothie, and then topped with fruits and other ingredients. The one I had was pretty darn refreshing and good--it was like a dessert I earned after my run--but a healthy one! This place is cute--seatings both indoors and out, and the staff is quite friendly! I know I'll be coming back for sure! read more
