I was mostly disappointed with the size and consistency. Small, and acai was a little thin, I like a thick base.

Today I ordered the up to date smoothie which was a strawberry banana smoothie with dates and it said it had coconut cream which I assumed would be mixed into the base, but it actually was drizzled inside the bottom of the cup which was a nice touch. It was good! It had a lot of ice in it but it didn't taste watery. The smoothies are $8.25. I felt that this was reasonable given the size and quality.

My mom and I went to get some açaí bowls and I was surprised by how well they were made. I didn't expect much since the place looks like a normal deli but the woman behind the Juice Bar knows what she's doing. And she cares too. When I told her I was waiting to meet someone but would order anyway to get it started, she asked if I wanted her to hold the bowls in the fridge in the meantime. This extreme preservation wasn't necessary since the bowls wouldn't be out for long but I appreciated the pride she had in her creation. I tried the garden açaí bowl mixed with kale and spinach, which was a first for me. With ripe bananas and hemp seeds on top, I loved the earthy sweet flavors of the açaí with the greens. I even loved the salady taste I had an hour after finishing the bowl! My mom had the berry açaí bowl that was just as beautiful. She let me try it and the sweetness was perfectly balanced. When I'm in the area, I would definitely come back for a smoothie or another açaí bowl. Their menu is insanely long and I'm now confident that anything I choose would be delicious. I do wish they had other nut butters as options besides just peanut butter. Also, I asked the woman which acai bowl was her favorite and she said she never had any of them. Come on! The first rule of retail is to always have something to sell. Either try the product to have an honest opinion or lie about which is the best!

Tropical Flare, Manhattan Prices…read more Chelsea Açaí Café brings a splash of tropical color to the middle of Manhattan, but the experience didn't fully justify the bill. We ordered the Almond Butter Açaí Bowl ($13.99) gluten-free and the Strawberry Banana Smoothie ($10.95), plus tax and tip, for a total of $38.33. The açaí bowl was beautifully presented, with creamy base and fresh toppings, but felt a bit undersized for the price. It leaned heavily on the açaí itself rather than striking a balanced mix with fruit and granola. The smoothie, while refreshing, tasted more like a sweet Icee than a fresh fruit blend--pleasant but leaning artificial. Service was warm but marked by small oversights. The gluten-free request was missed the first time, so the bowl had to be redone, which delayed things. For two people, only one spoon was initially provided, and we had to ask for another. Minor issues, but noticeable at this price point. The café itself is small but inviting, with a tropical vibe that makes it a cheerful stop. Still, given the portion sizes, service slips, and overall quality, the total cost felt steep. Chelsea Açaí Café is worth a try if you're nearby and craving something light and colorful, but it may leave you wishing for a bit more value. #NYCFoodie #AcaiBowlNYC #HellsKitchenEats
