Stopped by My Friends Cafe and honestly... this place is a gem. The vibe is clean, welcoming, and relaxed, the kind of spot you can grab something quick or actually sit and enjoy your time. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients. The acai bowls were perfectly balanced (not overly sweet), the smoothies were fresh, and the boba/tea options are top-tier. What really stood out was the service. Everyone was genuinely kind, patient, and took pride in what they were serving. That kind of hospitality is rare and makes you want to come back. Definitely coming back. read more

Refreshing drinks with real fruit juices and friendly and caring service that's beyond expectations. We told the lady that we can't have drinks that are too sweet, she was very willing to make adjustments by adding more tea since the sweetness was hard to control with real fruit juices. Only reason I didn't give a 5-star was because the bobas were slightly hard. Other toppings we had were excellent. We walked pretty far away before we discovered this, I'm pretty confident that if we found it earlier, the lady would have done something for us. Tip: If you're going to have the bobas topping, maybe ask them to let you sample one first? read more

Ok, had my share of açaí bowls but this place is wow!!! You can taste the quality and the service by the girl at window was just 100%. Just very sweet, attentive and great recommendations. I Craft my own bowl and protein smoothie so goood. Definitely be back soon. read more

This is a nice neighborhood spot that always has a line! Their açaí is flavorful and love the other options like Blu majik and pitaya: they have a range of options to choose from or a make your own. I love making my own. Their boba drinks are also tasty. Wish they could get us out the door faster since it's literally just assembling the bowl. read more

Omg this is the cutest establishment! I'm on a Açai kick and I went to my usual spot and it just wasn't up to par anymore. I heard about my friends cafe and decided to stop by! First off, the employees are so kind and they were kind enough to let me try the mango base and it was really great! I wanted to try all the bases, so they were kind enough to give me a little bit of all of them. The fruits were super fresh, the bases were icey cold and the toppings were unlimited. Probably one of the best Açai bowls I've ever had . I decided to order a peach green tea light sweet and that was also really good! Overall, everything was really good, the employees were lovely and I loved people watching on the sidewalk while enjoying my bowl! Looking forward to making this my new summer spot read more

Love the boba teas. Only issue is the surcharge added if you ask for easy ice, or no ice. If you allow the ice to melt, as is quite likely on a warm day, the drink becomes quite tasteless halfway through. So asking for no ice shouldn't require a surcharge. Next door at the chain coffee place they don't uncharge. read more

Been to a handful of Acai & Boba Shops but this place is one of my favorites!!!! And to be able to have both of my favorites perfected, i am in love!!! This has been my to go to spot especially since it's local and service is top notch. The girls are really sweet and attentive. My mom got a fresh juice that they make on order and she now goes more then I do just for her juices. Thai tea is perfect not too sweet and strawberry banana smoothie is one of my aunts favorite perfect balance not watery like other places you can taste the quality . My favorite it the iced chai and just love all the boba topping options . Did I mention how great the acai bowls are? Organic , gluten free , vegan and dairy free . Little wait for everything but it's made on order and prices for the quality is amazing others less quality and taste and cost more. No indoor seating but we sat in the court yard which overlooks the whole town which is absolutely perfect. Ambiance of the town is so hallmark . Have to stop by and meet these "Friends." Like in a word of crap service , they are just so nice and oh they don't serve coffee because Starbucks next door but Emmis up the street has great iced maple coffee . read more

The quality of their ingredients are amazing! Everything from the fruit, the bases, the toppings! You can taste peak freshness. The service was great, the place super cute. read more

My favorite drink is Kombucha, that's best ever. Fast service and a good variety of choices to go. The Açaí bowls and smoothies are also recommended. read more

My Friends Cafe - Ordering area - Acai Bowls Near Me - Sierra Madre, California

After hiking up Jones Peak in Sierra Madre, I was in serious need of some fuel, so I decided to stop by My Friends Cafe since it was nearby. I went with an acai bowl, and I liked how fresh it tasted--bonus points for the base not being overly sweet like at other spots. I also got the Extreme Green juice, which was surprisingly good, though I'll admit it's probably an acquired taste for some. Overall, it's a solid spot to swing by post-hike. They've got some outdoor seating, which is perfect for chilling and recharging after a day on the trails. Would definitely stop by again! read more

A cute little acai spot on Sierra Madre that came HIGHLY recommended on Yelp was on the menu for our lunch today. Friends Cafe is a super adorable little shop that serves acai bowls inspired by the cast of Friends along with fresh juices, elixirs, and boba drinks. Today, my husband and I shared The ever so popular Monica: a Nutella coconut and strawberry acai bowl with banana, and my husband opted for the Joey: Strawberries, Banana, Blueberry, with a coconut smoothie base, overnight oats, and almond butter. Just like Joey would have, this one has everything you could ever want to eat all at once. Both bowls were delicious, and I really favored the Joey overall. The fruit was ripe, the smoothie bases were not icy but very flavorful, and the toppings were great. One thing I was a little surprise was that my Monica bowl was not filled to the top the same way my husband's Joey bowl was. We just assumed it was due to the amount of ingredients in his bowl, but overall, the Monica bowl felt like it was definitely missing granola or something else to give it a real acai bowl bite. According to the menu, they ask for no customizations on these types of bowls. They do have an option for a build your own bowl, which we will probably try out next time. We loved the flavors, and the service was great. There is outdoor seating and a walk-up window, just FYI. Parking is street parking, but you can usually find a spot around the corner without too much trouble. read more

My Friends Cafe is a small corner acai and juice bar in downtown Sierra Madre. They have a food variety of smoothies, fresh juices, acai bowls, boba, ice cream etc. I had the Extreme Green Juice (16oz) which is a concoction of spinach, cucumber, apple, celery, ginger and lemon. I liked it. Staff was professional and competent. Prices were fair for the area. Service was on a slow side but still on point. Overall, this is a good juice bar and I recommend them if you're in or around SM. read more

Wanted to try out a new acai place in the area, my wife suggested this place, which sounded fun. Love the theme of Friend and the names. Short wait, only one couple in front of us. The cashier was friendly and attentive, informed me of the seasonal fruit of my "Joey Bowl." The almond butter looked watery and not very much. Didn't like the inconsistency of the amount of acai in both our bowl, she got like two third of her cup and I dot like one quarter. My wife's bowl was also not done right, didn't have cacao nibs on top or bowl even filled to the top with fruits or toppings. Might give them another try incase they had an off day as I did enjoy my bowl. Hopefully they make it better next time. read more

They included all sorts of fruit and unlimited toppings! I finished it off with peanut butter drizzle! Omg it was delicious! My son got the cucumber mint lemonade and loved it too!

Was looking for a post-pilates treat and came here for the acai bowl! I ordered the 16oz acai & blue magic. Highly recommend these two bases! I got all the toppings minus gogi berries which was the perfect amount of crunch + fruit. There are a few things that cost extra including peanut butter, almond butter, and chia seed pudding which is a bit of a bummer. I added 1 $0.75 topping so the total was $12.50. There are spots in the lot or street parking. There are some tables to each your treat at which is nice! They also have smoothies, tea, and lemonade. I heard their lemonade is rly good! read more

I come here every once in a while and the staff are very friendly and nice. The drinks are always cold and tasty. They are always fresh. They don't have seating because it's not a restaurant you walk in but there is public seating right next to the place. The menu is very colorful and vibrant which is nice. Service is usually fast unless there are a lot of people ordering. The drinks are always tasty and this is a great place to get drinks or acai bowls. read more

All I can say is WOW!!! Acai bowls are my favorite and this place has beyond surpassed my expectations. Not only do they go above and beyond for the customer but the bowls and juices are amazing!!! AND the juices are 100% juice!! Can it get any better!!? I think not. read more

It'd been a very long afternoon with my kids enjoying the Christmas decor and walking the village. My oldest was hyped up on sugar but I needed a snack myself. As I was looking at the menu she was so excited at the shop's Santa mailbox. My baby was crying and for a split second I was looking down at her then noticed my oldest was innocently trying to see if the bottom of the fake mailbox opened. It did and she didn't pull anything out but the employee at the window had a cow and screaming and started scolding me yelling "mom!" And shaking her finger at me before I even had a chance to tell my kid to close it or anything. It'd been a lot all day and this Scrooge made me feel like a POS. It was uncalled for and my daughter said she felt bad after the incident. We don't let rude people ruin our fun but needless to say I decided on starbucks for my treat. read more

Found a lovely little cafe in Sierra Madre! This place serves healthy snacks and drinks freshly made to order. I was told that the cafe named was inspired by a famous American TV show "Friends" so if you're a fan, be sure to make a stop by! I had acai bowl and brown sugar boba. Seating outside is really nice. There are shades for most of the tables and cute pastel buildings across the street. read more

We visited Sierra Madre, a lovely small town, on Sunday morning for a stroll. My wife wanted an açaí bowl for breakfast, so we checked Yelp and found My Friends Cafe nearby. She ordered an açaí bowl, and I ordered avocado toast at the kiosk. Shortly after, I was informed that my order couldn't be fulfilled because their sourdough shipment hadn't arrived that morning. The staff was incredibly apologetic and offered either a complimentary açaí bowl-- which actually costs more than the toast-- or a full refund. I wasn't in the mood for an açaí bowl, so I opted for the refund. To my surprise, a short while after, Rocky (the "part-time" shop owner) came out of the store, found us sitting outside near Starbucks, and handed me a to-go box with avocado toast made using their tasting bread. I truly appreciated her kindness and effort in going above and beyond to make my day feel special. [By the way, the açaí bowl was also delicious!] If Yelp allowed six stars, I would gladly give them! read more

If you're looking for the best smoothies and açaí bowls in town, THIS is the place to go! Every item on the menu is fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

My Friends Cafe - Açaí bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Sierra Madre, California

The store logo reminded me of Central Perk from "Friends" so I had to try it! Ever since my newly love for açaí bowls, my new mission is to try new spots that have açaí bowls in the Pasadena area. I got the 16oz bowl ($11.50) with all toppings and added honey. I waited about 15mins for my order to come out, but it was well worth the wait. It was refreshing, delicious and I could've ordered another bowl! Honestly, I'd prefer spots where you can see the toppings and they make it in front of you (like Roots + Rye) but this was just something different. I was also visually drawn to the Twisted Tiger boba ($6) - I had to go for it! The flavor was fine, but I was a bit disappointed in the boba. Some were stuck together and it was a bit too hard. Not the best boba here, but I'll definitely come back for more açaí! read more

I've been on a search for a go-to acai spot near Arcadia, and this might just be it!! Parking isn't plentiful, but the surrounding area is relatively quiet and I've personally never had any issues finding a spot. The cafe itself is a storefront with outdoor seating. Small and cute! Let's dive into the acai bowls here - - They offer a 12oz and 16oz bowl option, with the latter being around $12.00. A lot of acai spots will charge you a lot more, so I can rock with this price point. - They let you mix and match bases and most of the toppings come at no extra cost - love that. - The ingredients are fresh and the bowls come out relatively quick. I personally preferred the Pitaya (dragonfruit) bowl to the Acai, but the Acai was amazing as well. Would recommend. read more

Super rude! Visited with my son today and after the way the owner acted I'd never return and if you're a person of color you shouldn't either. Menu says UNLIMITED toppings... Last time I went I asked for extra toasted coconut and the young girl that helped me tried to charge me. I said your menu you says unlimited toppings. I returned today and spoke to the owner and she lacked tact! I was so embarrassed and pissed. Didn't want to go innnnnn because my kid was with me. At one point she told me to stop talking! I mean the audacity of that woman!!! My point was if your menu says unlimited that's what it is period! Hidden fees for food is insane and down right ridiculous. She got mad because I told her unlimited means unlimited! She tried to make her own meaning of unlimited. My son looked at me and said I don't want anything from here. He said she was rude from the beginning and there was no reason for her attitude. And when you pull up you'll see why I said if you're a person of color don't bother! She reported my response to her response full of lies. Guess that makes her feel good about herself. read more

My new favorite way to start the morning is now officially with an açaí bowl. Except... I'm too lazy to build it myself so here we are! I always feel so refreshed and healthy after eating one for breakfast.

The more the better am I right. It was so delicious and beautifully arranged. Definitely a great place to stop by since it's located in downtown Sierra Madre which is a nice walkable neighborhood. read more
