Came here after a run for something light and refreshing. The team member that helped me out was nice to chat with while they helped build my bowl. For a medium, they give you a good bang for your buck! I left pleasantly full. All the ingredients were fresh/high quality! My general rule for build-your-own spots is that if you don't like it, you built it lol. read more

I was craving an acai bowl and my sister recommended this place as it's very close to her. Food: 9/10. I got a small bowl and they let you pick your toppings and it's also unlimited which is great! I just wish there were a little bit of more toppings to choose from and the acai had a bit more acai taste to it. Overall, it was pretty good! Service: 9/10. There were two employees on-site helping out my sister, brother, and I. They were both pretty nice as well. Ambiance: 10/10. Pretty cool interior and very clean inside. It looked very well-kept especially their seating area. Overall, it was pretty good and I would come back if I was in the area and craving another acai bowl. read more

The pitaya smoothie was pretty good. This was a very run-of-the-mill smoothie/acai location. You choose a smoothie base and add some toppings. I added spinach and cinnamon, but the toppings didn't really seem to affect the smoothie flavor very much. The location was very aesthetic and clean, a great place to just vibe. Seating options were limited, so you'll probably be standing or just leaving. The staff is super friendly and gave some great recommendations for toppings. The whole operation was super smooth, and our drinks came out really quickly. read more

This is located in the alley. The place is simple and clean. We came at around 2pm on a Thursday, not too busy. The staff were friendly. The girl who served us was accommodating. We wanted our bowl in a certain way, she listened and made our bowl in the way we wanted without giving us a face. Great service! Their acai was on the creamy side rather than icy. I liked their young coconut than other places. Fruits were fresh. Good experience over all. read more

I got the small açaí bowl with chia seed pudding, hemp heart granola, blueberries, bananas, goji berries, almonds, cocoa nibs, almond butter, and honey drizzle. The açaí is delicious, creamy, and not too sweet. Balanced well with the nut butter and burst of blueberries. The chia seed pudding was a perfect pair with the açaí. It was refreshing and a perfect summer treat. The small alone was very satisfying. Would recommend as it is a 10/10 for me. The unlimited toppings means limitless creation. Would be returning. read more

Came for breakfast during our trip to Pasadena. The açaí bowls were okay. The toppings were good but the açaí could've been better. It wasn't very sweet and kind of bland. My daughter ordered half açaí and half overnight oats but they forgot to put the açaí. I went back in and they gave us a small scoop of açaí in a separate bowl. I tried a bit of her overnight oats which she didn't finish and I didn't care for it. read more

We were in town for the oasis concert and wanted something healthy and quick. The food was perfect but the service was comically slow and not great. A young woman mashed up avocados for us as if she was in slow motion (we were the only people in the shop) and we also hadn't asked for the avocado toast, we wanted the PB one but at this point, why bother correcting. She just seemed totally unbothered to do any efficient service. Would go back if someone else was working there! read more

The taste is good it's an acai bowl but not as delicious as I've had at other places. over all service and product are 3 stars. Staff is not friendly.

Their avocado toast is heavenly and perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper, everything, and chili pepper flakes. The acai bowl base we got included the acai, coconut, and blue majik. The bases were not too sweet and the coconut was very creamy and flavorful. Everything is fresh and the service is always friendly. read more

The location is pretty park around it's close to impossible to find a parking spot on the street because it's a very densely populated area. I recommend parking in the structure close by, it's $1 to park. I ordered a small bowl with a blue majik base and chia pudding. I loved the blue majik, it was not too frozen and not too sweet. I added banana and strawberries as my fruit topping. For my crunchy toppings I added almonds, vanilla granola, cacao nibs...and of course topped it with peanut butter. I love having a variety of toppings to choose from because it allows your bowl to have more textures and flavors. The fruit was sweet too! There's not much seating room inside so if you're with a group you'll have to find somewhere else to gather. It's very quiet inside so if it's empty it could be a good spot for a solo date! read more

Yummyyyyy açaí and blue majik base with hemp hearts, blueberries, hemp, almond butter, and raw coconut. I wanted a light lunch treat and this was simply perfect. It was nestled between a few cute spaces in an alley off the main road, clean, quick flow of service and average prices. The bases are premade in time for the staff to scoop into your bowl. That's fine although i wasn't able to see if they have lots of added sugar or not. I live how this space is simply toast m, smoothies and bowls. I will definitely return. read more

What else is better than eating a bowl of cold Açaí on a beautiful yet chilly day in LA? Incredible taste, more on the sweeter side, but damn good if you want something packed as a treat. Pros: - Easy-to-read menu - Allow you to taste bases - Customer service - Fair pricing - Fruits were fresh - Hip-hop from the 90s playing Side Notes: - Opens at 9 AM - Parking near the area or streets - Website has all ingredients - Limited seating inside - Order in advance avail - Next to a quaint coffee shop What We Got Done: - Blue Majik Açaí - Activated Charcoal Coconut Açaí It's a great spot to pick up an Açaí bowl, but do not try the toast or smoothie. They just opened as we arrived at 9 AM on Sunday, so they were still prepping and opening, and we sat at the bar to people-watch in the alleyway where there are a few other cool spots. Hours: 9 AM - 7 PM, all day, every day. Wait: No, we got there right when they opened. Parking: It's in the alleyway off W Colorado Blvd, called Mills Pl. Several parking garages are nearby, or you can park on the streets. They monitor parking meters very closely, so be sure to check the signs, as they differ in certain areas (see here for more information around Pasadena: https://www.cityofpasadena.net/transportation/parking-info/find-public-parking). Customer Service: The fellas behind the counter were chill and gave us free samples as it was hard to decide which one to get. 90s hip-hop was playing, but not at a club level where it was hard to hear (I almost wanted them to play it a bit louder). He knew the products sufficiently, so we asked him to help, and he did it with a smile. What We Loved: The bowls were incredible. It felt like we were cheating, as it was filling, and the base tasted like a piña colada. There are a ton of toppings (https://www.ourrootsandrye.com/menu) to choose from, but I'm glad the menu was straightforward to understand. Blue Majik is damn good, but maybe too good, as it felt like we were having a cheat meal, hahaha. Opportunities/Misc: Parking when Pasadena is busy can be a pain, but walking is good for you, so get out there and shop around. The views are of Mills Pl., in this alleyway off Colorado, so it's not the most people-watching if it's not crowded (not off the main street on Colorado). It would be great if they had the fly/gnat swatters we've seen at certain spots to keep the fruit flies away, as their toppings and more can attract many of them. I would love to have a less sweet option, and perhaps what toppings would be a good balance of sweet to sweeter ratio based on the base. We love it there, and if we are craving a bowl of Açaí when in PAS, we'll be back! read more

While wandering around Old Town Pasadena, I wanted something small to eat. So many places are getting so pricey these days, so I was pretty excited when I came across this spot. It's a bit hidden and you'd probably walk by without noticing it. I got a small Açaí Bowl ($8.95) where I was able to mix and match 3 bases. The guy helping me even let me sample some flavors, which was nice. I ended up choosing the Blue Majik (kind of like a pina colada flavor), Young Coconut, and Matcha Green Tea. The toppings are unlimited, so take your pick. Compared to some of the other açaí bowls I've had before, it wasn't presented as pretty, but it's still yummy. It's healthy, refreshing, and tasty. I saved some for later after freezing it and it was even more delicious. It's perfect as an healthier ice cream alternative. read more

Even though I am a savory type of breakfast guy, I decided to try a healthier breakfast option out and Roots & Rye was the perfect choice! The staff was very nice and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I totally winged my order since I'm not used to eating at places like this; I got a bowl with half overnight oats and half açai and I added bananas, honey granola, blueberries, strawberries, and almonds. I ate it at the restaurant so It would be as fresh as possible and boy was it a treat. My random choices paired perfectly to make a blend of sweet, sour, and nutty flavors. I took the rest home and finished every last bit! Highly recommend! read more

I got the custom organic bowl, basically BYO salad. The base price starts at $10.99, and does not include cost of adding protein yet. The bowl can have up to 2 bases and 4 organic toppings. My order was ready by the time I arrived and everything in there was fresh. $18 for a salad is slightly on the pricier side but it was definitely filling and satisfied my health craving

The spot is casual and comfortable with chairs and tables to sit and happily enjoy your order. My son had the very berry banana smoothie and he said it was outstanding.

I visited on Super Bowl Sunday when just one woman was handling everything--both the register and making all the orders. I wish she had more help, but despite being solo, she was incredibly kind and friendly (not sure I would have been in her position!). One small suggestion--there was quite a bit of plastic used for packaging, which seems unnecessary given how fresh everything is. A more sustainable approach would be a great improvement. Overall, it's a great little spot in The Shops on Lake--worth checking out!

I came to Nana's Green Tea to try the famous Matcha Mochi Parfait…read more First impression: it definitely looks amazing. Taste-wise, it delivered. Every ingredient felt high quality - the matcha was rich and flavorful, the mochi had a great texture, and even the crunchy topping/cereal added a nice contrast. It's clear they put thought into balancing the different textures and flavors. The only downside was the ordering process. The line setup was a little confusing. It looked like everyone was waiting for the next available order station, but there was actually both an iPad ordering option and a register. Since this wasn't obvious, I ended up waiting longer than necessary while others who realized they could order at the register finished faster. Not a huge issue, just something that could probably be made clearer. The matcha itself is really good though. Their matcha ice cream was also impressive - very matcha-forward and not just sweet. They also have a large space with plenty of seating, which makes it a nice place to hang out. They have food options as well, although I didn't try them. Some items seemed a little pricey for what they were, but I'm sure the quality is there. Overall, I'm glad I tried the Matcha Mochi Parfait. It's a fun dessert and definitely worth checking out if you're curious about Nana's Green Tea. Would I come back specifically for it? Probably not, but I can see why people enjoy this spot.

The service was outstanding. Our waitress was Melissa and she was very attentive and gave the best recommendations. The location is a little small, but it's very intimate. They have a small bar at the entrance. I came on a Monday evening and it wasn't too crowded. I definitely recommend this place. Note: parking could be a little tricky it's underground behind the restaurant. The restaurant does validate.

Only thing that didn't sit well was that it was known that it was my dad's birthday and we weren't offered any celebratory complementary desserts of any sort, not that that should be expected, but we did over order for our party so gave decent business I would say. The menu prices suggest that it's quite a nice upscale restaurant which it is, but the interior was nothing special, quite casual. I think I would want a little more pizzazz if I were going here for a romantic date - Calabrian salami pizza: amazing flavor profile, the salami gave a good saltines to it while the hot honey gave a tin of sweet. I'm not the biggest fan of when my savory food is too sweet, but I thought this one was really well done - squid ink pasta: really tiny portion, which was the only bummer but it was so delicious. I would probably still get it again not too fishy. If you don't love the Strong seafood flavors that this dish sometimes comes with. - whipped feta and bread: a classic go to appetizer at Italian restaurants, pretty good, but I wouldn't say any better than other restaurants that serve this - calamari: honestly would skip this. They only was nothing special and the calamari itself had standard batter. Nothing crazy. Whipped feta and bread
