Taproot Lounge and Cafe is among my favorite restaurants in the Salem downtown area. With expansive…read moredrink and food menus that are inclusive of vegan/vegetarian options, there's something for everyone here. I love that they have jackfruit as a "meat" option for many dishes - most restaurants will only offer tofu if they offer anything at all. The chipotle jackfruit tacos are great, by the way! We've always experienced good service here, and enjoy the casual feel of the dining area. This is a good place to eat a meal with folks with various dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or variety. Taproot is also open pretty late (12am most nights)!

everbowl moved to a different location and unfortunately the parking situation is not good here…read more there's no designated parking for customers so you have to park in the neighborhood next to the store. I haven't been back in a few years but it seems like the ordering system is different now. you pick everything you want at the cashier and pay before they make your bowl. this wasn't really clear when we came in so we were confused for a bit. it's not efficient for traffic flow the cashier is located towards the far side of the doors. while everything was delicious and fresh, I find it hard to want to come back with the price changes. when you make your own bowl, you're limited to a certain amount of toppings as compared to back then when it was unlimited.

The inside of the shop is fairly small and there isn't much space for seating, but there is some both inside and outside. The service was nice but a bit slow as they only had one person working. Their menu is a pretty good size, with options to make a smoothie or customize your own bowl. The acai bowl itself was delicious. All of the fruit was very fresh and clean, and the portion was good. Loved all of the ingredients that they had and I would highly recommend.

I did get one of my two bowls before the person in front of me did, but only a few minutes in difference, and probably because we got similar ones? I got the pitayum and the pb everbowl. If you are a peanut butter fan get the pb. If more tropical is your vibe the pitayum is better. I liked both equally, just depends on the mood I am in. I do wish there was an option to change the topping and not get charged extra for the substitution. Sometimes you just want a different fruit, or the coconut flakes aren't calling your name. I understand that sometimes there is a cost difference, but if it's an equivalent switch it feels like it should be okay. Overall a refreshing sweet treat that is conveniently located downtown. Definitely will be back to try out more creations!

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.
