    Avocado Toast & Iced Oatmilk Latte
    Delana A.

    My go-to spot for quality coffee & açai bowls ! They always have great service, it can be a little slow at times, though. They don't have cold brew, but their espresso is pretty strong! The acai bowls are better priced than Smoothie King or another chain, and to me, they taste a lot better. I tried the avocado toast & they did let me know that the toast is pretty small, but I was still a little surprised at how small it was & how little topics they put in it after I received it. It was decent, but I wouldn't order it again. Anything else on the menu, you can't go wrong :)

    Mini açaí warrior bowl
    Elaine S.

    I was craving an açaí bowl this morning and thought I'd stop in this spacious (9:35am) restaurant. They had a nice selection, even seasonal choices like pumpkin for the fall. I wanted to try the mini warrior bowl, and I really liked it: with the fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana and granola. Really hit the spot this morning and I loved the healthy filling breakfast. The mini was perfect for me. I will definitely come back! So good and refreshing!

    Mermaid Bowl
    Khanh-Chau M.

    When I initially heard about South Block, I thought it was going to be an overpriced açaí bowl place... but it's a great açaí bowl place! I come here every so often after work as it's less than a 10 minute walk from the East Falls Church metro station. I've had multiple items at this location, but my favorite is the Mermaid bowl. I initially picked it because I like the color blue, but it's so tasty and filling! The coconut meshes well with the fruit and the crunchiness of the granola and seeds that's in it. Fruit is average but is refreshing. Love the mango banana combo that's blended in this. $12 for this bowl and I'm always full after it! It's pretty empty when I come so never worry about seating. People tend to take things to go here. Utensils are durable and packaging is nice. Employees are friendly! Sometimes, it takes a while for the items to be made... but I typically only see two people working there at a time so it makes sense. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants a smoothie or açaí bowl. May seem overpriced but I think it's worth it.

    Nutella bowl
    Jasmine A.

    Love love love South Block! The açaí bowls are so refreshing! It's a great post workout meal or something to eat on a regular day. Everything is fresh and made to order. I usually get the PB&J bowl but this time I got the Nutella bowl. The Nutella bowl is like a dessert. It was really refreshing and I loved the Nutella on top of the strawberries and bananas. The açaí base was thick and not watery so it does not melt quickly. The granola was AMAZING! I think it's my favorite part of the layerings. It's nutty, crunchy, sweet but not too sweet. It's also gluten and dairy free. The fruits were fresh. It was a perfectly balanced bowl. Each scoop had the açaí base, granola, fruit and Nutella. Besides açaí bowls, they also offer juices, smoothies, bowls without an açaí base, avocado toast and dog friendly treats/bowls. There is a underground menu which I have yet to try! Also, if you're every in a rush/ on the go, you can place an order online. Note: Cashless business

    So happy to report that South Block is up and running during the pandemic. Regular updates are provided to their mailing list about their COVID19 precautions, specials, and community service efforts (especially to essential workers and first responders these days!) Takeout and delivery is going fairly well. This was our third or fourth time in the past two months we've gone for pick-up/takeout. Staff at the register were masked, and orders nicely bagged. Smoothies and bowls were divine, as always. Happy to support this fantastic local business (still hoping they branch out into Maryland!)

    Not a mini or split bowl...
    Jessica P.

    I love south Block and come here at least 3 times a week. I always usually order the PBJ bowl split in half. But today and the other day the split bowl/ mini bowl is not even half full. At least at the Falls Church location... disappointing

    $10 Bottle of Juice
    David H.

    I was thirsty from walking the W & OD Trail and stopped to get a bottle of juice from the fridge. The price wasn't marked and I turned out to be almost $10! I was really thirsty and it was tasty and hand pressed but not $10 good. They have some interesting food and drink options and I might come back and check them out but that bottle of juice was a little too rich for me.

    This is my first time trying an Acai Bowl ever, so I didn't know what to expect. Staff was friendly and great! I ordered the PB&J Bowl. I thought it was good! I just wish there were more blueberry, banana, and granola, but then again is Acai Bowls supposed to be mainly the "liquid"? I don't know what I'm talking about here.. but its just a personal preference for me. This was a HUGE filler for me. This order got me full for most of the day. Can someone explain to me why the prices seem too expensive? I would like to understand and change my mindset that this place overcharges. BUT I would recommend this place to the Yelpers out there. Ps. I took my order home, so when you see my photos, it was not taken at the cafe.

    Tried some of the smoothies and cold pressed juices here while I was on vacation and my brother was living in the connected apartments. While the prices are alarmingly high for a midwest gal like me ($2-3 more per drink) They were good and I suppose the prices do mimic the high end places in my own city. They have a lot of selection and will not let you down with choices of smoothies and smoothie bowls. Expect to spent around $8-10 for your treat though. I think they especially kill it since they are next to purrebarre and an apartment. I recommend the watermelon and mango smoothies, and the green cold pressed juice.

    Would this be a good spot to meet a friend to study together? On a Sunday afternoon?

    I like to save my studying for coffee shops. The Arlington location is small and not that spacious to spread out. It also can get busy very fast. As for the Del Rey, there is a lot more open space and seating. But I agree that unless you like…

    After some dental work and instructions to "eat soft foods" I was craving a green smoothie. Yelp…read moreled me here. They had remote ordering and paying on screen. I got the same super green smoothie two days in a row. The first one was too thick and had ginger in it. The second one I talked to an actual person and was able to ensure no ginger and to add a little more pineapple juice . It was perfect. I would like to try the bowls. Pretty hopping place! So glad it is near me.

    I wouldn't say "perfect" but close enough…read more (Acai) Warrior Bowl was great! No complaints on taste. I added extra toppings, which made the bowl extra full, but even without my extra toppings, this was hard to eat in one bowl. You have to dump the toppings in something to be able to get to the smoothie part. It's nice that it's full but it's too full (even without my additional toppings). Just make sure to get an extra top and dump your toppings in there to get down to the bottom! Avocado toast was good! The avocado was super creamy. The sprouted bread was pretty basic, so I would've appreciated a better bread. It wasn't bad, it just didn't make this bread worth the price. I would definitely come back!

I usually visit one of their other locations in Falls Church and this location is definitely a lot bigger. Inside is very clean and quiet. On a weekday around 11am we were the only customers dining in. Ordering is convenient at their self service kiosk. The bowl I usually get is the Warrior Nutella Bowl. Also pictured is my cousin eating the Warrior bowl in a mini size which I realized after I got my order that I should've gotten mine in a mini because the regular size is plenty! They are very generous with their toppings but I do have to say that on this visit the berries were on the sour side and while there were a lot of toppings we both couldn't finish our bowls.
