    Madie D.

    Delightful. Absolutely loved my açaí bowl from here! There was a bit of a wait (~30 mins), but that goes to show just how popular this spot is! It is conveniently close to the beach so it's an easy walk down to enjoy your bowl with a view. I loved the chocolate one - it wasn't too chocolate heavy, rather more peanut butter heavy, which is exactly what I was looking for! The fruit was fresh, the bowl was loaded with toppings, and the pricing was pretty standard (maybe a little high) compared to other açaí shops. I'll be back!

    My two favorite bowls are the electric pink and peanut butter pipeline. I prefer the pitaya over the açai. Paradise bowls is consistent and the price is fair for the portion you get / the ingredients they use. The staff are friendly and often local students. Good beach vibe.

    Classic smoothies and açaí / pitaya bowl spot in downtown Manhattan Beach. Simple straight forward menu, small storefront with an ordering counter. Take your order and enjoy it at the beach! Limited metered parking around the area.

    Delicious acai bowl! I added mango. The Razz Party has a hint of tart lemonade flavor

    If you follow anyone who lives in or frequents Manhattan Beach, chances are you have seen them post a picture of a Paradise Bowl held up with the Manhattan Beach Pier in the background. I can't even hold them though, I was on the same sh*t. It was one of my last days in LA for a minute, so I took the pup down to get a bowl. I knew I was in good hands when one of the Gen-Z kids took my order and began making my Gaucho bowl. They always be cookin with acai bowls, coffees, and smoothies. I got a medium size ($12.50), but realized my error when I got handed my bowl as it was HUGE. Hefty portion sizes here. I mean you know I love a good portion but fruit is sneaky with sugar so I felt bad eating all that but what am I gonna do? Throw out perfectly good food? This bowl was BEAUTIFUL. Inspiringly beautiful. You probably think I'm being dramatic but look at the attached pic. An acai based topped with granola under loads of blueberries, strawberries, and sliced bananas with a fresh honey drizzle to finish. GOD DID! Me and the little man walked down to the strand, got the notorious pic with the bowl in front of the beach, took a seat, demolished the bowl and listened to music for a minute while the story likes came flooding in. It's like that... Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    The amazing açaí bowls and smoothies are in high demand here. There is always a line but they have several staff working around the clock. They told us it would be about 15 min so we stepped outside to wait. We got the bikini smoothie and the gaucho açaí bowl. The ingredients were fresh and tasted so yummy. Would definitely recommend the medium sized bowl for the most value. The menu has so many good options for a refreshing snack.

    Guava pitaya bowl maui wow me

    The good: Acai bowls are one of my favorite desserts. I got the Maui Wow-me bowl from the Pitaya menu (they have an acai menu too). It had guava juice in it and was delicious with an island flare. I liked the bee pollen topper. It was under $11 for a size small (good for 1-2 people). I thought it was a fair price and it was made in a timely manner. The location is beachside so it was a wonderful snack to take with you while walking along Manhattan beach. There are also lots of cute shops around here so it's a very walkable area. The fruit were fresh. There were many menu items to choose from. They sell smoothies too. The bad: There was no indoor seating. However, there are benches nearby outside. I've been here twice and the second time the wait was a half hour. They should have a text phone alert set up for when your bowl is ready. I felt like some of the workers were just moving slowly taking their time. The interesting: The kitchen is open so you can see folks cutting up the fresh fruit. They have 2 other SoCal locations. This location's their original.

    Cute little storefront serving fresh drinks and bowls! It takes a minute to make since it's all made to order, but is right on the beachfront and a great place to hang out.

    I ordered this bowl and as you can see, the açaí is not even half of it, I almost didn't feel the taste. I paid for an AÇAÍ BOWL, not just granola and fruits. Very disappointing!

    Gauva Sunrise and Gaucho
    Amy S.

    This was definitely a busy place at 11:30 on a Sunday. It did take about 10-15 minutes before we got our bowls. The only downside is that there is nowhere to sit to eat our bowls. We got the small size of the Gaucho and the Gauva Sunrise. Both were delicious and a perfect size. Would definitely get again the next time we are in town.

    I really like Paradise Bowls. I really enjoy Acai bowls in general, but I've had some terrible ones over the years. This little shop does it right. The Peach Bum and the Coconut Breeze are my two favorite items on the menu but honestly everything looks like it tastes good. Overall the have Acai bowls, pitaya bowls and smoothies. Ive only ever see one person working behind the register but they are moving quick! They're almost no seating so you'll more than likely need to take your order to go which is no problem since you're a few feet away from the beach so you can take your bowl and go enjoy the views. Would definitely recommend.

    Gaucho Small
    Austin D.

    Came here for a quick healthy snack while walking the strand. I was very excited to eat it hence the picture of it half eaten already lol. I ordered the Gaucho bowl and it was very good! All of the toppings were very fresh and portion to price was solid for acai bowls these days. Blend wasn't as think as I normally like but still good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Go check it out next time you're in the area especially on a warm day!

    Açaí with kiwi, banana and strawberries
    Diana V.

    Just tried Paradise Bowls and wow -- it did not disappoint! The açaí is super smooth and flavorful, and they're generous with the fruit toppings (which I love). Great selection of smoothies too! Service was friendly and fast! Also they just open a new one in Marina del rest! This spot is definitely going to be a new favorite!

Then, when the crowd dwindled, I was pretty much the only one still there so, yeah they def forgot it. I usually don't like to say anything, but I also didn't want to be there any longer than I already had been, so I kindly mentioned I hadn't received my drink yet. They were ok about it, I guess (definitely not nice) and I get when an establishment is busy, sometimes orders can sometimes get lost or accidentally not added. Whatever the reason may be, I eventually got my order and it was definitely rushed. I ordered the Tahitian Vanilla Bean Matcha and it was eh. I'm sure it's probably better but literally very low effort was put forth to make it. I decided to give this place a second chance during the week, when it's less busy. I got an acai bowl, I believe the Brazilian and it was good. I got a drink also, but it wasn't very memorable. Overall, it was ok.

Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive". Cute design and a good place to bring a computer and have a quiet spot to chill.

I'm taking off half a star only because the matcha came out much later and we were almost finished with our açaí bowl by the time it arrived, but it wasn't a big deal.
