    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I love the names of their bowl options.

    I stopped here for a quick breakfast on a Monday morning. I got a kids bowl and it was a perfect light breakfast. The fruit was of good quality and the sever/cashier was lovely. I'll definitely be back here. It's a cute little window service set up with adequate outdoor seating.

    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.

    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.

    Cute corner spot! You can get açaí bowls, smoothies, coffee. The smoothies and juices have been delicious! They are made with fresh fruits and vegetables. The açaí bowl is so good. I got the 16 oz. Joey with peanut butter and it's so filling!

    Lorena A.

    Best açaí bowl I've ever had! First of all they served it in a Pineapple Bowl! They had 5 different bases to choose from and I got them all. They were all so good! 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! To top it off it's super cute to take pictures in front of which is always a bonus! DEFINITELY coming back!

    16 oz acai
    Jennifer Y.

    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!

    I love it here! The workers are super nice and will go out of there way to make you beverage perfect. There acais and drinks are so good and just hits the spot when you are craving something. I definitely recommend people coming here! #Kris#Natalie#Meagen

    There is parking in front of the store or various nearby lots. I tried the cucumber mint lemonade. It wasn't too sweet and was nice and refreshing especially on a hot day like today. Staff was very friendly

    Charmese K.

    This is the cutest place ever! My daughter is a açai bowl fanatic so I wanted to check this place out! And it was worth it! The one thing I loved was they had a lot of options that were vegan and gluten-free! The chai latte was amazing! It was dairy free, which I loved!!! The service was amazing. All the ingredients are super fresh.! The açai bowls were so flavorful and healthy. My favorite was the peanut butter and jelly smoothie! It literally taste like peanut butter and jelly in a cup! We also got the Nutella me up and the avocado toast. The whole ambience was so cute.! Everything was literally picture worth it.! Great staff! I'm so glad they have this cute place in Sierra Madre with all the small businesses around and shops. It's super cute to hang out.! it's a great place to meet your friends for brunch or a quick snack! Thank you, ladies for helping us out!

    Açaí my teens love!

As I started drinking mine I noticed it was more like a slushy than a smoothie. Whoever made it really screwed it up and put so much ice it literally tasted like water with some chunks of coconut inside and my friend's was the same. Should we have gone back and asked them to remake the drinks? Maybe. But we had already waited about 10 minutes for the drinks to be made since it was busy and didn't want to wait longer for the staff to redo it. Maybe the employee who made our drinks was new and in training? Anyways we ended up throwing our smoothies (slushies) away and going to Erewhon for smoothies instead. This was quite disappointing because I had always loved stopping by there for a drink on a hot day and supporting a local business. If you are going to visit Tru Bowl I recommend you try their açaí bowls. I may give them another shot with the drinks but for the time being I see myself only ordering the açaí bowls.
