The Celery -- Portland, OR…read more Walked in and immediately felt like I should own a fixed-gear bike. Industrial. Clean lines. Slightly edgy. The kind of place where you expect someone to be editing a documentary on a laptop made of recycled aluminum. Late afternoon visit, so the hipster crowd had clearly skateboarded back to their respective creative labs. I had the place to myself. Prime auditing conditions. First impression? This place is built for volume. You can tell. Efficient layout. Assembly-line potential. If bowls were a factory sport, this would be a playoff team. Ordered the Home Grown. Took a quick bathroom break. Came back and -- boom -- bowl was already on the counter. FAST. And it looked elite. Then I saw it. A generous dollop of peanut butter at the top, sprinkled with hemp seeds. I almost got emotional. It felt like flying over your hometown after months away. Familiar. Safe. Right. First bite? Delicious. Smooth. Creamy. Almost like frozen yogurt or soft serve. Easy eating. Crowd-pleasing texture. And then... I looked up. Another bowl was being made. The açaí base was coming out of a soft-serve machine. As a purist, this one hurt. I want hand-scooped. Blender-blade symphony. Crafted, not dispensed. I had a small internal crisis. But here's the problem: I really enjoyed it. So now I'm torn between my values and my taste buds. Would I go back? Yes. Would I wrestle internally again? Also yes.

Sweetest cashier, her vibes are contagious. I absolutely love getting their Southwest bowl with…read morechicken. The salsa is a little spicy, so I don't pour all of it over my food. My partner enjoyed his avocado toast. Aside from our experience yesterday, my sister and I have come here before. She had nothing but good things to say about her sweet potato bowl and tropical smoothie. I've tried their tropical and berry tropical smoothies and both were so yummy. The seating could be a hit-or-miss. It really depends on the time. It might be harder for a party of 2+ to find a table right away. Parking could also be a challenge. It's a busy neighborhood and there isn't a private lot or anything. The pricing of the food and a drink to pair could easily cost you $20+/person (without tip)! To me, it's worth it for the price. I get a comfortable full. But might not be totally worth it for others.

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!

Carioca Bowls -- Portland, OR…read more Hard for me not to be biased here. Richard and his crew are massive supporters of the Portland Pilots Men's Basketball program, and loyalty matters. That said--support alone doesn't earn berries. After 8 months in Portland, I've unintentionally become an Açaí connoisseur. I've tasted bowls that are icy, overly sweet, under-blended, and frankly... fraudulent. Carioca Bowls is none of that. Let's be clear: this is the standard. My go-to order is the Rose City Bowl (add peanut butter)--a move I highly recommend to anyone serious about their craft. The balance is elite. The texture is smooth but substantial. Every ingredient earns its place. Is this the best Açaí bowl in the world? Honestly... it might be. But the mission is bigger than Portland. I'm on a global quest to find the best Açaí bowl on the planet--and for now, Carioca Bowls is the bar everyone else is chasing. Rating 4.9 / 5 Açaí Berries (Perfect scores are reserved.

Proud Mary in NE Alberta St, Portland…read more I was excited to come back home to Portland and hit up all my favorite spots in this week but I had to choose carefully because I wasn't taking on the Portland food scene alone, I'm bringing a friend with me who has never been to the city at all. I needed to set the bar high from day one. Proud Mary on Alberta Street was my first move, and it provided a light but delicious first meal paired with great espresso drinks. (And I needed to set the bar high for coffee in town because this friend own her own coffee shop in LA) This is the kind of place I bring people to when I want to show off what this city does best a casual environment with interesting food that doesn't take itself too seriously, in a space that just feels right. I went with the oatmeal and a side of hash, (a hash that has such a unique texture that I think about it pretty often now I love a unique potato eperince) but execution of the seasonal flavors in the oatmeal surprise me every time in the best way. They pay so much attention to detail of he flavor and presentation and that makes even humble dishes feel more special. My friend ordered the spring omelette and it was simple, it could have used a bit more flavor or texture or even an additional protien source but it was good non the less. When our cappuccinos arrived first, I remembered this is an Australian-owned café. Served with a dusting of chocolate powder the way an "apparently" proper Aussie capp should be. Both cups were genuinely excellent. For vegetarians, the menu gives you real options with actual thought behind them and of course their are so many dishes with meat that everyone can love, so that's a huge win for me Who it's for: first-time Portland visitors, coffee lovers, anyone who wants a brunch spot that earns its reputation. Strong start to any trip. Veg selection | Flavor execution | Value | Staff knowledge | Ambiance

It's in a space with other restaurants, kind of like a food court. It was really noisy, but there was plenty of seating. We waited about 5-6 minutes before the guy working there said anything. He clearly saw us, said nothing, and continued making someone else's order. Since he was the only one working, some of that is understandable--but saying nothing was strange. It also took him a while to make the acai bowl. It was a bit expensive for what we got, but it was tasty. They use more of a peanut butter sauce instead of actual peanut butter. That part was just so-so, but the rest was delicious. With that said, we've had better bowls from other places in Portland, with better overall atmospheres as well.
