Very pleasantly surprised by this find!…read more I wasn't sure based on mixed reviews but my husband picked up takeout for us and it was delicious. We both got poke bowls and everything was very fresh and delicious. Serving size was perfect and we both enjoyed our meals. My only complaint is that you can't build you own bowl, you can only select from their premade choices.

I was driving by Tioga Town Center in Gainesville. I wanted a protein smoothie. When searching, Big…read moreIsland Bowls popped up. I easily found curbside parking in the Town Center. It was just a block to the shop. I was immediately greeting upon entrance. Young lady was very friendly. During our conversation, she's only been working a few weeks. This retail shop has good vibes! Pop music playing in the back ground. Amazing beachy island photos on the walls. Cool colorful chairs and wall decor. I ordered a bee Healthy smoothie with protein. $13. This smoothie was made with banana, honey, parent butter, cacao nibs, bee pollen and apple juice. With protein. We talked as she prepared my Bee Healthy smoothie. This was a very nice stop for a mid morning pick me up. Mahalo

They have multiple flavors to pick from; however, you can only sample 1 which was disappointing. I think maybe they can do a 1 sample free then 25 cents for another. I sampled the cotton candy m&ms ice cream which was a different blend. I settled on Blueberry cheesecake because it was safe. The service was normal in-and-out and attentive. After visiting the Springs this was a treat.

Parking can be tricky here, as there are other businesses and the AC Hotel in the vicinity. My mom and I decided to stop in for a to go breakfast treat that was healthy and filling. The staff is always so nice and knowledgeable about the menu and products they offer. I went for the Beach Bowl, which is a blend of acai, mango, banana, and guava juice. The toppings are granola, honey, and your choice of one topper. I went with blueberries. While we waited, I noticed that they sell energy drinks, protein bar, and other goodies. They also sell protein/energy bites that they make in house which are my mom's fav. The bowl surprisingly did not melt on our ride home. Their acai is thick and so tasty because of the addition of the guava juice. It's not super sweet at all. The toppings were perfectly portioned and fresh. I love coming here whenever I'm craving acai. Rush Bowls has soooo many options it makes it hard sometimes to pick what I really want to try. However, I will be back soon to try out their smoothie options!

The waffles were absolutely delicious and the teas are sweeter than others I've had before, which I love! I don't think I've had a shake yet but they make them look so pretty, you almost have to order them. Same with their acai bowls, that they take the time to make so pretty. There's a bit of seating but it could be a great place to work/study (if you have noise cancelling headphones, bc you do hear the blenders lol)
